Chapter 63
After the internet was properly installed, Ye Zhou finally felt alive.
As for the eye-burning things in the USB drive, Ye Zhou immediately formatted it in a fit of rage.
There were two months of summer vacation and Shang Jin and Ye Zhou, with nothing to do, thought about working part-time.
Your matter has also made me feel a sense of crisis. Now, making money is the top priority. Ye Zhou typed on the computer and looked up information on part-time online tutoring. What about becoming a private tutor?
Shang Jin was leaning on the bed when he thought of something and put down his book. Private tutor? I have a way.
Growing up, Shang Jin was a mythological existence both at school and in the community. After all, there wasnt a family without a child. As long as there was a child, there was no way they wouldnt know about the eternally first Shang Jin.
When Shang Jin became the college entrance exam champion, the community had pulled out a glorious banner, proclaiming that this was the literary city where the champion lived.
At that time, there were some parents with middle school children who wanted to ask Shang Jin to be their tutor. Shang Jin disliked troublesome things, so hed evaded.
But those parents wouldnt give up so easily. Until now, during summer and winter vacations when they saw Shang Jin, theyd probe and ask if hed tutor.
Locals are good. Ye Zhou leaned next to Shang Jin and said, Help me to pull in a client too.
Shang Jin looked at the contacts in his phone and cast him a glance. He said, What compensation do I get for helping you?
Ye Zhou encircled Shang Jins neck, kissed his face firmly and said, With my body!
Deal.
The name eternal second didnt sound good, but able to get second time after time was just as precious as getting first test after test. Shang Jin didnt have to spend too much effort and was able to draw in several parents to fight over them. And for parents who werent lacking in money, as long as their childrens performance could be improved, the price didnt matter at all.
Everything seemed to be going well, but when Ye Zhou heard that the parents lived in the same community as Shang Jins family, he couldnt laugh.
What if we meet your family?
Shang Jin indifferently said, If we meet, then we meet.
Ye Zhou was entangled for a while and eventually bowed down to the charm of money. He could only comfort himself, As they say, dont air your dirty laundry in public. Your family probably wont spread our matter around.
On the first day, Shang Jin and Ye Zhou drove the Shang Ye number to the foot of where Ye Zhou would be tutoring. From far away, they could see a young adolescent girl standing in front of the gate.
This is the child youll be tutoring. Shes almost in her third year of middle school and in her rebellious period. Although the pay is high, but its also not easy to handle. Can you? Although it was a question, but Shang Jin wasnt worried at all.
Ye Zhou snorted and said, I can even conquer you, so how can I not handle a mere middle school student?
The little girls face was cold. When she saw two people coming over, she immediately looked up impatiently and was stunned.
Little Qiu. Shang Jin pushed out Ye Zhou and said, This is Ye Zhou, my friend.
Ye Zhou hurriedly smiled and greeted, Hi, Little Qiu. My name is Ye Zhou.
Quicker than words could tell, the little girls hostile air was completely put under wraps. The rebellious girl turned into a shy flower in a second, and with a blushing face, she said, Hi, Brother Shang Jin, Brother Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou raised his lips. These two months will have a lot of advice.
Shang Jin saw that there wasnt any problem and put down his heart. He patted Ye Zhous shoulder and said, Then Ill go first. After the tutoring, give me a call.
Brother Ye Zhou, please come in. Bye, Brother Shang Jin! Little Qius family lived on the first floor. She opened the door and called out in an unusually sweet voice, Mom, the brother tutor is here. Wheres my textbooks!
At that moment, Little Qius mother looked at her daughter like she was an alien.
Half a month later, the matter of Shang Jin and Ye Zhou being private tutors was passed to the Shang family.
Riding a pedicab everyday, whos he showing it to? Shang Qingping slammed the table loudly. Isnt he ashamed to bring his boyfriend with him! I think hes just showing it to me. I have neglected him for so many years, so he found a guy to anger me.
Qin Fei couldnt let it pass and indignantly said, You, as his father, should know best what kind of person Shang Jin is. Although I havent known him for long, even I can see that Shang Jin isnt an impulsive person. You still cant see it?
Shang Qingping couldnt refute and gave a heavy grunt.
Qin Fei persuaded, Ive inquired and Shang Jins friend is called Ye Zhou. Sister Zhang who hired Ye Zhou was full of praise for him. Not only does he teaches well, his character is without question. The key is that hes really knowledgeable. Even the Zhang familys big brother who usually has eyes on top of his head would look at Ye Zhou twice and even asked him if he was interested in joining his company after graduating. Its not like you dont know how willful Little Qiu is. Now, she listens to Ye Zhou the most. I heard that year that Ye Zhou was D Citys runner-up. Even if Shang Jin wanted to find someone to anger you, a kind of person like Ye Zhou wouldnt go along with it. The two peoples feelings must be serious.
Brother Zhou Zhou? Shang Youyou just heard Ye Zhous name as she was coming downstairs. She bounced and skipped over to say, Brother Zhou Zhou is really good. It was Brother Zhou Zhou who bought Princess Elsa for me last time.
Shang Qingping was in a temper. Who knew that the two people in the house would inexplicably instigate a rebellion and help the enemy. He said to Shang Youyou in a poor tone, What do children know! Go up!
Shang Youyou pouted her lips and hmphed. Daddy is an idiot!
Hmph, I think hes a fox spirit! The soldier fighting alone, Shang Qingping, furiously said, Else, how would you all be bewitched by him out of your senses!
The next few days, he didnt know how but Ye Zhous name often appeared in his ears.
On this day, Ye Zhou finished the session and declined Zhang familys good intention to invite him to stay for dinner. He went the communitys exercise center near Shang Jin.
In the evening, many people had eaten and were exercising here.
Shang Qingping inquired about the time and went home early. He sat down at the stone bench farthest from Ye Zhou and watched Ye Zhou greet the people around him.
Obviously, hed been here for over half a month tutoring, but how did it feel like hed been living here for a few years?
Little Zhou, waiting for Shang Jin? Grandma Wang carried two watermelons and was about to set them down on the ground to rest.
The watermelons hadnt set down yet, Ye Zhou came over and hastened to help her. He enthusiastically said, Grandma, let me help you carry them.
Grandma Wang smiled. This child, I have to trouble you every time.
Its nothing, just the lift of a hand. But Grandma, next time, dont buy too much at one time.
Halfway through, a group of half-grown boys with a basketball surrounded Ye Zhou and said, Brother Ye, come play a while?
Next time. Shang Jins coming.
One of the children asked puzzledly, Brother Shang Jins family lives here. Why is he living outside?
Ye Zhou placed the two watermelons in one hand and used the empty hand to rub his head and said, You dont understand this. A man has to start his independent life!
Not long after Ye Zhou left, Shang Jin arrived at the appointed place. Seeing that Ye Zhou wasnt there, he was sure that Ye Zhou was definitely helping others. He was going to find a bench to sit down when he ran right into Shang Qingpings line of sight during his search.
His dad was a busy man and certainly wouldnt sit in the community without reason.
Shang Jin confidently walked over, but Shang Qingping was like hed been caught in the act and was somewhat guilty.
What are you doing here?
Cooling off.
Then you continue. Shang Jin was about to leave and was stopped by Shang Qingping.
Shang Qingping patted the stool next to him and said, Sit.
Ye Zhou may come back at any moment. Shang Jin said absently, I like to stand.
Shang Qingping was aware of losing face, and he said enigmatically, What? You want me to look up to you?
In a public place, Shang Jin also didnt want things to get too ugly. He could only sit down, but his eyes still kept looking around.
Shang Qingping said in an unpleasant tone, Where do you live now?
Rent an apartment.
Shang Qingping put a key and card on the table and said, Take it.
Shang Jin didnt even look and said straightforwardly, I dont want it.
Shang Qingping took a deep breath and said, I never said that I had to cut off your financial source.
No. Shang Jin looked directly at Shang Qingping and said, I just think that what Ye Zhou said is quite reasonable. After all, what I obtain by myself is different from what others give me.
Shang Qingping angrily said, Am I an other person?
Its still not what I relied on myself to obtain. Shang Jin pushed the key and the card to Shang Qingpings hand and said, Dad, Im not angry. I just feel that if I want to get the life I want, I must rely on my own hands to get it. I know what I want and Im also confident that I can live the the life I want.
Hearing these words, Shang Qingping lost spirit.
This child wasnt the least bit like him or Liang Jingmin. He was so young, but he seemed exceptionally mature. His voice wasnt loud, but it held conviction.
Shang Qingping sighed. As Shang Jin had said, Shang Jin hadnt gotten anything from him since childhood. Now, he wasnt qualified to intervene in his choice.
Shang Qingping collected the things on the stone table, stood up and said in displeasure, Passing by the door everyday, but dont know to go home for dinner.
I can. Ill bring Ye Zhou with me.
Dont go too far! Shang Qingpings mask broke again. You must give me time to adapt!
Thats fine. Ye Zhou likes to eat flavorful dishes. When the home makes it, then Ill go home again.
Shang Qingping didnt speak again and left before Ye Zhou returned.
After two minutes, Ye Zhou walked over, swinging his arms, and said, The two watermelons are really a little heavy.
Who made you get into the habit of being Lei Feng?1
I carried it and even Im a little tired, not to mention Grandma Wang. Ye Zhou smacked his lips and said, I also want to eat watermelon.
Shang Jin raised his eyebrows and said, You helped Grandma Wang carry the watermelons for so far and she didnt give you a piece to eat?
Ye Zhou proudly said, Dont take from the masses a single needle or thread! Haha, well buy one later and then you can bring it home.
Yeah, lets go home.
