Lu Qian nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

If the parents know, that would be the best-case scenario.

As for Zhai Yumo's part-time job as a dance instructor, Lu Qian recalled that Zhai Yumo also came from a single-parent family, and her mother was listed as her parent.

We don't know about their living conditions at the moment.

"Yu Mo, are you taking this part-time job to gain experience or because your family needs it financially? If you encounter any difficulties, the school can provide some assistance," Lu Qian asked gently.

Zhai Yumo was no longer nervous. Teacher Lu did not criticize her for working part-time; he was just asking about it.

"I wanted to help support my family. My mother's health hasn't been good in recent years, so I thought I'd take advantage of weekends to work as a dance assistant to reduce the financial burden on my family. Teaching students is also part of my learning. After talking to the dance studio teacher about this, I became a dance assistant teacher at the studio."

"It's 100 yuan an hour, so you can earn 3200 yuan a month."

Zhai Yumo spoke frankly, without any sense of inferiority about her family background; in fact, she seemed quite proud of herself for finding a part-time job.

"It's good to earn money using the dance skills I learned." Lu Qian nodded, glanced at the time—it was ten o'clock—"What time do you start work?"

"Work hours are from 2 pm to 6 pm. I sometimes come to practice dancing by myself in the morning. Hehe, since I don't get paid that way, and that's how I ran into you, Teacher Lu, today." Zhai Yumo smiled happily, with a kind of pleasure as if she had found a loophole.

Lu Qian nodded. "Okay, let's get back to our previous topic. Want to try ice skating?"

He could tell from Zhai Yumo's expression and eyes that the girl was interested in ice skating.

Ice skating is indeed expensive, but for someone with top-level skating talent, it's worth the expense.

As long as Zhai Yumo enjoys ice skating and is willing to pursue this path, the money issue will be easily resolved.

"Sure, let's give it a try." Zhai Yumo nodded.

Although she works part-time to supplement her family's income, the family is not yet in dire straits or facing extreme hardship.

If I go all out and try ice skating today, I can save money next week, which is practically the same as not spending any money at all.

Wow, I'm such a genius!

"Let's go to the front desk, and I'll find you at the ice rink exit."

Lu Qian had no idea what Zhai Yumo was thinking. If he did, he would be both amused and exasperated. How could he possibly let a student spend money?

Even a rich kid like Li Jun wouldn't ask him to spend money, let alone Zhai Yumo from an ordinary family.

Lu Qian skated from the edge of the ice rink toward the exit, getting closer and closer to Coach Li.

He just demonstrated a quadruple jump, which attracted the attention of a group of parents and skating enthusiasts.

However, Lu Qian had no intention of becoming a coach, so he introduced these people to Coach Li.

This guy has a decent personality and solid fundamentals. He just showed off and embarrassed others, so I'll give him some business opportunities as compensation.

Coach Li couldn't suppress his smile; his lips were practically glued to his face.

We made a fortune! A huge fortune!

Six parents just came to sign up for semi-private courses. Each lesson costs 200 yuan, and each parent signed up for ten lessons. That's 12,000 yuan for six people!

Seeing Lu Qian skate over, Coach Li hurried over, his face beaming with excitement, "Brother Lu, thank you so much! Six more people have signed up all at once!"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"This is no small matter. Are you busy later? I'll treat you to lunch!" Coach Li said, patting his chest.

Lu Qian shook his head. "I'll skip the meal. You're the one who signed up because you're capable. I'm just going with the flow."

"Alright, I have to go teach my students to skate, I'll head over now."

Seeing that Zhai Yumo was waiting for him, Lu Qian increased his gliding speed.

"A student?" Coach Li paused for a moment, then followed.

Lu Qian: "Yes, I am a high school teacher. Skating is a hobby, but teaching is my main job."

After chatting for a bit, the two arrived at the exit and, with penguin-like steps, headed towards the front desk.

"Brother Lu, are you buying tickets for your students?" Coach Li suddenly asked.

"right."

"You should have said so earlier! Why did we have to spend so much money?" Coach Li slapped his thigh. "Watch this!"

Coach Li walked briskly across the rubber floor and quickly arrived at the front desk, where he spoke to the receptionist.

Lu Qian then came to Zhai Yumo's side.

"Teacher Lu, is that your friend?" Zhai Yumo asked curiously.

Lu Qian: "We just met, you could say we became friends after a fight."

Coach Li chatted quickly, then turned and waved to Lu Qian, signaling the two of them to come over.

"Brother Lu, it's all done. Just go in. I'll get you two cards in a bit, so you can come ice skating for free from now on." Coach Li said proudly, and then added, afraid that Lu Qian would refuse, "It's an employee perk. It's also good to meet a master like you today, Brother Lu. Consider it making friends."

Having said that, it would seem hypocritical for Lu Qian to refuse again, so he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, thank you."

You're welcome~

"Yu Mo, go change your shoes. I'll wait for you here. Put on all your protective gear."

"Okay, I'll head over there then."

Lu Qian and Coach Li went to a bench, sat down to rest, and chatted about things in the skating world.

Lu Qian currently possesses technical skills but only has a superficial understanding of the industry, so this is a good opportunity for him to learn more.

Zhai Yumo changed her shoes quickly, finishing in just a few minutes, and then awkwardly walked over to Lu Qian with a penguin-like gait.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's too heavy, it's hard to walk on."

"Let's go to the ice rink, we can just take off the holsters."

"Okay~"

……

Upstairs, the dance studio.

After sending her child to the dance studio, Tian Tian's mother thought for a moment and then knocked on the principal's office door.

"Hello Principal, there's something I'd like to talk to you about, about Teacher Zhai."

The principal was a tall woman who gave off a very intellectual vibe at first glance.

"Hello, parents. Please have a seat and tell me slowly. What kind of disagreement has arisen?"

Tian Tian's mother: "No, no, no, Teacher Xiao Zhai is very good and responsible, and she is also very good to the children, which is why I came to say a few more words."

I was downstairs just now and I saw Teacher Zhai chatting with a very handsome man. They looked like they knew each other well.

I know about Teacher Zhai's situation. That man's speech and behavior were very mature; he was clearly not a student.

I was just thinking that she shouldn't be fooled by some men in society, so I came over to mention it. Whether it's good or bad, there's nothing wrong with asking.

The dance principal suddenly realized, "Okay, thank you so much. Ms. Zhai will be here soon, and I'll talk to her."

Zhai Yumo has been learning dance here since she was a child, and she was taught by her personally. Their relationship is very special. Now that she is a teaching assistant here, she also has to be responsible for Zhai Yumo.

If she really gets targeted by some scumbag, don't blame her for being ruthless.

As a dance teacher, she has seen her fair share of the darker side of life.

P.S.: Teacher Lu may be a bit eccentric and abstract, but he's a proper teacher and wouldn't date a student!

For our young readers starting school, health comes first, emotions second, and grades third!

Have a wonderful life! ദ്ദി˶•̀֊•́)✧
