University students wanting a part-ti job often opt for tutoring.
These days, though there’s no policy reducing academic burdens or promoting supplentary education, many haven’t even heard of the term "tutoring."
Lin Nianhe pondered this, a gleam in her eyes.
She originally planned to peacefully wait a year before jumping into pursuing a business.
But the opportunity was right at her feet, she felt it a disservice to herself not to seize it.
She paused for a short ten seconds, nearly thinking through her whole ten-year developnt plan.
"Nianhe?"
Su Yuncheng called out to her.
"Um."
Lin Nianhe ca back to her senses and said to Su Yuncheng, "I need to do so market research; you’ll have to help if it works out."
Su Yuncheng didn’t ask what help she needed from him, he simply nodded: "Okay."
Lin Nianhe hurried back to her dorm room, grabbed a piece of paper, and began writing a survey.
In the evening, Wang Shui ca to visit and seeing her serious expression, asked outright, "Doing howork?"
Without looking up, Lin Nianhe replied, "Seems like my reputation as a top student is well entrenched, even making money looks like howork."
Speaking of making money, Wang Shui grew instantly interested and sat down beside Lin Nianhe to take a look at what she was writing.
"Do you wish your child could go to university?"
"Can you effectively tutor your child?"
"Acceptable additional educational expenses... Nianhe, what are you doing?"
Wang Shui looked confused after a while.
Lin Nianhe finished writing the last question, pushed the paper towards her, and asked, "What do you think?"
After reading, Wang Shui blurted out, "You want to build a school again?"
It wasn’t that she was particularly sharp, but Lin Nianhe’s survey intentions were very clear.
"It’s not that easy." Lin Nianhe rested her chin on her hand, "Finding a place and setting up a tutoring school is still doable."
"You plan to borrow from... Oh, I see, you have a contact."
"Not really."
Lin Nianhe shook her head, looking rather helpless.
Wang Shui rarely saw Lin Nianhe at a loss, her eyes lit up, "So you don’t have a way out?"
Lin Nianhe: "My Brother Yuncheng knows people."
Wang Shui: "..."
Lin Nianhe took back the paper and copied it twice more.
"Sister Shui, help with the market research," Lin Nianhe said, "it’s right up your alley."
Wang Shui nodded, "Is the tutoring class intended for high school students?"
"Yep, but we need to ask the parents’ opinions," Lin Nianhe continued writing, "help find people, each gets a base salary of 50 cents per day, they must bring back at least twenty valid surveys, and with every extra twenty valid surveys submitted, they get a 50 cents bonus."
"You’re really generous," Wang Shui hesitated for a mont, then said, "List down the factories in Beijing for , I’ll recruit people based on the factories."
Wang Shui quickly grasped the essence.
Chasing after parents at high schools was unrealistic, asking around in alleyways was too slow, going straight to factories was better.
"Alright then."
Lin Nianhe flamboyantly slamd down two thousand yuan: "Don’t try to save money for , just go all out, even if it costs everything!"
Wang Shui looked at the two thousand yuan and gave Lin Nianhe the friendliest greeting, "Fuck off."
"Hey, watch the language," Lin Nianhe pulled her aside and whispered, "Let tell you about the follow-up..."
The next day, it happened that the economics class only had one morning lecture.
After class, Wang Shui imdiately stopped the students who were about to leave, using "social practice" as a pretext, and recruited over thirty people.
Everyone signed their nas, swiftly divided into assigned industrial tasks, then left Peking University in full force.
"People are dispatched now." Wang Shui found Lin Nianhe in the classroom of the Physics Building and sat next to her, saying, "I gave each of them an advance of 20 cents as wages, so they don’t think we’re swindlers and slack off."
Lin Nianhe gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Shui is always reliable, I trust you to get things done."
"Do you have any other matters to take care of?"
Lin Nianhe sowhat vexed: "Um, actually I wanted to ask journalism students to write so articles... but I really dare not approach Sister Lan."
"If you dare to bypass her and handle this, she could beat you to death."
"I think so too."
Between life and face, Lin Nianhe chose "peace".
Wang Shui grumbled softly through gritted teeth as she wrote the draft following Lin Nianhe’s request: "Always causing trouble for , right? I’m easier to bully than Xiao Lan, right?"
Lin Nianhe: "Yes."
Wang Shui: "..."
Although Lin Nianhe didn’t ask Wen Lan to write the articles, she didn’t let her off either.
When the survey sheets were collected back in the evening, Wang Shui was responsible for settling the accounts, while Wen Lan took on summarizing the questionnaires.
Since everyone went out with questions, the responses varied wildly in format, making this task even more troubleso than writing the questionnaires.
Wen Lan had a lot of patience.
She cursed and summarized at the sa ti.
"Silly girl, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Wen Lan had not yet asked what these questionnaires were used for; she heard there was work to be done and just rolled up her sleeves and got to it.
She found the work particularly straining on her voice; her throat was even smoking.
Lin Nianhe handed her a warm cup of water with autumn pear jam dissolved in it: "To make money."
Wen Lan sipped the water bit by bit: "Oh, any more tasks? Let help you with everything in one go."
"Nothing for now; co ho with over the weekend."
"Why?"
"Sothing good."
...
"Work-study?"
In the evening, Mr. Lin sat on the sofa, looking puzzled at Lin Nianhe, "Of course, I know about that, it used to be quite encouraged, but it’s not really suitable now."
Decades ago, college students were encouraged to participate in work-study programs, using holiday and after-class ti to work in factories or exhibitions, which not only supplented the workforce but also enhanced their practical skills.
Tis have changed, with a large number of educated youth returning to the cities and very few job positions available, where would there be a place that needs work-study college students?
Lin Nianhe said, "Dad, I know there are no positions in factories; I want to set up a tutoring class—targeting high school students and returning educated youth. This would not only provide so existing teaching positions but also offer so work-study opportunities for college students."
Mr. Lin’s eyes sparkled.
"Advancing education is necessary." He nodded in agreent, "What’s your plan?"
"I, along with Sister Shui and Sister Lan, have already conducted a survey," Lin Nianhe showed the final summary of the survey results to Mr. Lin, "86.54% of parents support their children attending university, 26.89% of parents are willing to send their children to tutoring classes and can accept a tuition fee of around five yuan per month."
Mr. Lin looked at the detailed survey summary, and after a long while, he quietly exclaid: "My daughter is smart..."
After Mr. Lin marveled for a while, he seriously said, "No big issues, I’ll discuss it with them tomorrow, and you start preparing on your end."
Lin Nianhe said, "Dad, I need your help."
"Tell , what do you need?"
"I lack three... four, five, six houses, for the tutoring classes."
Mr. Lin: "..."
His... his daughter is extravagant...
