Chapter 11 Tutoring

The street outside the school entrance is called Taoli Street. There are several universities on the street, besides Los Angeles University, there are also Teachers College, Los Angeles Medical University, etc.

Places with dense crowds naturally have businesses settled down, and the most affordable small restaurants, hotels and Internet cafes are the most nearby.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't pay attention to these things. When he was wandering around these few days, he had already noticed the only tutoring institution on the street, called Chengcai Tutoring. There is only a hundred yuan left in his pocket, and it is imminent to make money.

A plainly dressed student slammed the door and passed by Zhang Xiaobai. Zhang Xiaobai glanced at the boy, and then walked into Chengcai's tutor.

Surprisingly, there was only one room inside, and there were no teachers or students. A fat man was sitting behind the boss's desk, counting money with his feet on the table and a cigarette in his mouth.

Zhang Xiaobai coughed twice to remind him.

The fat man was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell down. The smoke fell on the money, and the money scattered on the ground.

After picking up the money, the fat man poked out his round head from under the table and glared at Zhang Xiaobai, "You're a ghost! You can walk without making a sound?"

Zhang Xiaobai frowned, thinking that it wasn't because you counted the money too seriously, but he still smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry!"

The fat man put the money in the drawer, lit a cigarette and said angrily, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Hello! I want to be a tutor!"

The fat man looked at Zhang Xiaobai, and said, "Freshman? Inexperienced?"

Zhang Xiaobai nodded.

The fat man took a puff of cigarette and said, "As you can see, I am a formal tutoring institution here, and logically speaking, new mobile phones will not be given a chance."

Then the fat man sighed and continued: "However, it seems that you are from a poor family and want to earn some living expenses. This kind of spirit is worthy of praise. I have an English job for the second year of junior high school here. Why don't I give it to you, but the price is low Some, you have to know that you are a novice after all!"

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head and said seriously: "I can't do English!"

The fat man raised his eyebrows, "Can't even do the second grade of junior high school? Can't you fool me?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "English is really bad, and mathematics from junior high school to high school is no problem at all!"

The fat man showed a mocking smile, "Then get out! I have no shortage of people in mathematics!"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled, turned and walked out. Fatty's tricks have long been seen through, he just wants to find cheap labor.

The students who passed Zhang Xiaobai's house sat on the curb and sighed as they watched the cars coming and going.

Zhang Xiaobai sat down next to him, took out one from the only remaining packet of Hongtashan, and handed it over.

The student waved his hand, "Thank you, I don't smoke!"

Zhang Xiaobai clicked on one, frowned and said: "Just now I went to find a tutor, that fat man is too unqualified!"

The student snorted coldly and said, "It's not only lack of quality, but also a black-hearted businessman!"

The best way to get closer to a stranger is to share a common enemy. The student rushed out angrily, apparently something unpleasant had happened with the fat man.

Zhang Xiaobai sighed, and said, "Brother, I'm a freshman, and my family doesn't have much money. Why is it so difficult to find a tutor?"

The student looked at Zhang Xiaobai and saw that his clothes were not as good as his own, so he couldn't help but feel pity, "I tell you, don't go to his house to find a tutor, it's too dark, just take me as an example, an hour should be Thirty yuan, he took half of it, and the money was not given happily, so I quit with him as soon as I got angry."

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Where can I go if I don't look here?"

The student said: "Then I can only go to Xinhua Bookstore, that's where students go to find tutors."

Zhang Xiaobai asked, "Why didn't senior brother go there?"

The student stood up and said, "It's not easy over there. There are more wolves and less meat. Those who are looking for tutors are like those who stand on the street!"

When Zhang Xiaobai came to Xinhua Bookstore, he understood what the senior said. There were two rows of students on both sides of the gate, holding signs looking for tutors.

There are various ways to write on the sign, some say elementary school to high school science, some say junior high school Chinese, and some say omnipotent.

Several parents were negotiating with the students. After the chat, the students who failed to negotiate showed frustration, and those who had negotiated simply dropped their signs and walked away with their heads held high.

The competition is really fierce, there are about a hundred students and only a few parents.

No wonder that unscrupulous shop can succeed, even though it earns less money, it can still make some money, but here it depends on luck and opportunity.

"Xiao Hei, do you still know Senior Sister?" A girl with an oval face patted Zhang Xiaobai on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobai looked back, the girl was the one who told him where the principal's office was when he reported for duty, and beside him were the two boys, who were also protected by bodyguards.

"It's Senior Sister! I haven't thanked you yet!" Zhang Xiaobai joked.

The girl with an oval face raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, "You don't really want to borrow money from the principal, do you?"

Zhang Xiaobai smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

In the eyes of the girl, this is clearly a smug smile, "It seems that it is true, Xiao Hei, senior sister has helped you so much, shouldn't you invite me?"

Zhang Xiaobai said: "I should hire a senior sister, but I have to wait until I find a tutor and earn money!"

The girl glanced at the student army, pouted and said, "When will we have to wait? Look at these people, some of them have been standing there for half a year and can't find them!"

Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Within half a month, we will definitely find it!"

The girl smiled and said, "Just blow it! I've been standing for a month!"

Only then did Zhang Xiaobai notice that she didn't have a sign in her hand, but the boy on the right had one with the words Huahua written on it.

Zhang Xiaobai asked: "Looking at what senior sister is wearing, she doesn't look like someone without money."

The girl said: "Who says rich people can't be tutors? Miss Ben just wants to experience life, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaobai said angrily: "You can leave a way for us poor people to survive!"

The girl curled her lips and said, "If you really have the ability, don't blame your competitors. Improving yourself is the right way."

Zhang Xiaobai nodded, deeply convinced, then turned and walked out, turned his back to the girl and said, "Senior Sister, remember, my name is Zhang Xiaobai!"

The girl behind giggled, put her hands around her mouth like a trumpet, and shouted: "Xiao Hei, you should remember this too. My lady's name is Bai Lu, and she still owes me a meal!"

The two "bodyguards" beside him showed unnatural expressions, and the boy holding the sign asked, "Xiao Lu, why are you being so nice to him?"

Bai Lu still looked at the back of the man who was going away, and said, "Don't you guys think that he is a bit strong and handsome?"

A boy rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms, showing off his not-so-obvious biceps, and said boldly, "Can you be as strong as me?"

The other boy held his cheeks with both hands, and smiled, "Can you be as handsome as me?"

Bai Lu walked out with her hands behind her back, and said, "Yes!"

...

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ji Xiaorou walked behind with the help of Tian Ye who was drunk, and Cheng Feng walked in front with his fists clenched. When he reached the door of bedroom 301, he kicked the door open.
