"Don't worry about it. Just let Qiao Yu drift along."
The old man, who had been silent all along, suddenly said:
"Jingjing, let me ask you something. What has Ayu been doing at home lately?"
"I just stay home all day."
Qiao Jingjing was nonchalant.
The old man slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Can't you speak properly? Just answer whatever I ask you. Where did you learn such an attitude?"
Qiao Jingjing was startled.
She was always afraid of the old man, and immediately put on a mournful face:
“Dad, I’m at work every day, how am I supposed to know what he’s doing? I see him online writing novels at night, I don’t know what he’s up to.”
"A novel?" The old man raised an eyebrow. "Did he say what he would write?"
Qiao Jingjing bit her chopsticks, looked up at the ceiling, and recalled:
"He said he wanted to make a fortune from the novel, that he couldn't just watch you show off, he also wanted to make a lot of money and outdo you... that's about it."
Old Master Qiao's lips twitched.
The online literature circle has developed too fast in recent years, but ordinary people can't see it. Those who can see it are all people with excellent vision.
Qiao Yu could tell that the old man was both gratified and pleasantly surprised.
Then he asked, "Is his writing very good?"
Qiao Jingjing chuckled, "His writing is a complete mess, I don't even read it..."
After being glared at fiercely by the old man, she obediently said:
"I haven't seen it, I doubt it makes any money."
The old man frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked again:
"Has he read any books on writing?"
"Maybe there are, but I've never seen them."
……
On the other hand, Qiao Yu suggested going to see a movie today.
But this time he learned his lesson.
He would absolutely not buy movie tickets without Su Jinbei's consent.
Su Jinbei doesn't have many close friends in Shanghai.
She's also free on weekends.
After thinking about it, she accepted Qiao Yu's invitation to a date.
Qiao Yu excitedly took out his phone to buy movie tickets.
Show Su Jinbei the recently released movies and ask for her opinion.
Suddenly, his phone rang; it was an unknown number.
Looking at the phone, Qiao Yu felt inexplicably guilty.
"Hello."
"Qiao Yu!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and pleasant.
"Ahem..." Qiao Yu coughed lightly twice, then asked, feigning confusion, "It's me. Who are you?"
"I?"
The other person seemed to pause for a moment before introducing themselves, "I am Xia Qing."
"Hello, Sister Qing."
Xia Qing said in a calm tone, "There is something I'd like to trouble you with."
Qiao Yu quickly replied, "Go on, go on."
Xia Qing hummed in agreement, seemingly unsurprised, and said:
"I have two children who aren't doing very well in school. Would you be a tutor for them?"
Qiao Yu thought to himself, "Damn, this is a setup, isn't it?"
Do you think I wouldn't know if you have children?
"Sister Qing, I can't do tutoring."
"You, a college student, are more than capable of teaching him."
Xia Qing's voice was soft, possessing the gentle sweetness and intellect unique to a mature woman.
But it exudes an undeniable air of authority.
"I guarantee ten hours of instruction per week, and I'll give you 200 yuan per hour. That'll last all summer."
"Are you serious, Sister Qing?"
Qiao Yu was stunned.
Isn't this just a smokescreen? Are you really going to make me teach?
Qiao Yu was unaware of the pricing standards in the private tutoring market.
But if you do the math, it's about 8000 a month.
Such private tutoring fees do exist.
But it's definitely not the salary and benefits a college student should receive.
"Coming or not?"
Qiao Yu hadn't planned to refuse Xia Qing's invitation in the first place, and now he certainly wouldn't refuse, "Okay."
In his view, this was hardly a matter of family upbringing.
It must be Xia Qing's excuse to talk about life, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Give me your address, and I'll have someone come pick you up."
"No need, just give me the address and I'll come find it."
"I have something to do at noon and don't have time to wait for you. I'll have the driver come and pick you up."
After Xia Qing finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving him a chance to refuse.
No, you're probably a fake Xia Qing.
You're not usually this domineering.
Qiao Yu, still suspicious, edited a text message and sent the address.
"Whose call was that?"
Seeing that he had finished his call, Su Jinbei asked curiously.
“A friend asked me to tutor her child. She offered a high salary, and I had no reason to refuse.”
Qiao Yu shrugged, speaking very naturally.
One is Xia Qing, whom you can have sex with; the other is Su Jinbei, whom you won't even let anyone touch.
Any fool knows how to choose.
"Oh."
Su Jinbei subtly pursed her lips, then smiled gently:
"Then you go ahead. I'm fine staying at home by myself. Anyway, I don't really like going out. Hmm... I'm a homebody."
Speaking of family education, it's another old story that I have to recount.
When Qiao Jingjing first entered university, she didn't have a 36D bust.
My older sister, who has been a top student for many years, suddenly expressed her feelings during the summer vacation, saying that she wanted to experience life and create wealth.
So he looked for a tutoring job.
The salary offered by the other party is very attractive.
I remember that was my sister's first "job".
During dinner that evening, my older sister, like a proud little hen, announced the news.
The old man was overjoyed and said that Jingjing was smart and promising.
Qiao's mother was moved to tears, saying that our baby has been clever since he was little.
Then the elderly couple glanced sideways at their mediocre son.
Now that I think about it.
Those are two "Funny Guy" photos.
Qiao Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The young mind was left with indelible and immense harm.
A critical hit of 10,000 points.
But Qiao Yu was just an average person who barely passed the minimum standard.
He'll never be able to find someone to tutor him in his entire life.
Fortunately, Qiao Jingjing's smugness didn't last long.
One day, the male homeowner, whose real intentions were not what they seemed, took advantage of his wife and daughter's absence to propose to Qiao Jingjing as his mistress.
It turns out the other party wasn't interested in Qiao Jingjing's grades.
Instead, he was attracted to her C-cup breasts and long legs.
Qiao Jingjing's first job ended in failure.
