Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 129 Hesitation leads to defeat
Before their morning run on Wednesday morning, Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen met in the office as usual.

"Isn't CC's drawing of the snowman a big improvement?"

Yang Wenwen opened the photo album on her mobile phone and showed it to the boy.

"Great progress." Zhou Jing looked at her and nodded, "The little girl is very smart."

"You can teach her again on the weekend when you are free."

Yang Wenwen didn't want her momentary impulse last night to affect their normal relationship, and she didn't want Zhou Jing's guilt to affect his work.

"Okay, I thought Teacher Yang was angry and ignored me!"

Zhou Jing thought that Yang Wenwen was thinking too simply, and not getting angry might make him make another mistake.

"Don't worry about it, just pretend nothing happened."

Yang Wenwen shook her head gently, looked at the time and turned to go to the playground.

Zhou Jing tidied up his desk and went to the playground.

Yang Wenwen said this, but she tossed and turned in bed last night, and the ripples in her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Today is salary payment day, and Zhou Jing’s October royalties have also arrived.

At noon, Zhou Jing checked the stocks for a while, used the royalties that came into his account to buy some existing stocks, and bought a few new ones.

Zhou Jing now has nearly 600,000 yuan in funds, almost all of which he has used to buy stocks. If Zhou Jing is conservative and pursues stable returns, he will also make considerable profits in a month.

The setting of the second book has been completed and writing has begun. Zhou Jing needs to devote more time to writing novels after work. He writes the first book during the day and stays up late at night to write the new book. The new book is expected to be serialized in December.

After running, Zhou Jing went to the faculty cafeteria to have breakfast. Gu Jia was already eating, so Zhou Jing got his meal and sat at her table.

"There's a new movie coming out these days that's pretty good, would you like to go watch it together this weekend?"

Gu Jia said after taking a sip of porridge.

"what movie?"

Zhou Jing looked at her and said.

"2012, disaster movie."

"I've heard that it's Saturday or Sunday that the master decides."

Although he had seen this movie more than once in his previous life, Zhou Jing was still very interested in it. He had never seen it in the theater. This kind of movie is more interesting in the theater. He was shocked every time he watched it. Human beings are too fragile in the face of nature.

"Saturday afternoon then!"

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said.

"OK, how about treating Master to lunch on Saturday?"

"Okay! What are you going to cook?"

Gu Jia readily agreed.

Zhou Jing thought as he ate, "Since Master is not picky about food, I can just do whatever I want."

"OK."

Gu Jia didn't ask any more questions and just ate whatever the boy cooked.

After running exercises, Yang Wenwen talked a few more words to the class. When she came to the cafeteria and saw Zhou Jing and Gu Jia chatting and laughing while eating breakfast, Yang Wenwen inexplicably felt a sour feeling in her heart and was very envious of Gu Jia.

There were more and more teachers in the cafeteria, so Gu Jia left first after eating.

After eating, Zhou Jing glanced at Yang Wenwen and smiled as a greeting.

Yang Wenwen responded with a forced smile, her face still burning as she recalled what happened last night. The situation was too sudden, the boy was confused and impulsive at the time, and Yang Wenwen was actually also distracted.

If the sound of footsteps outside had not calmed the boy down a little, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Yang Wenwen couldn't help but think that if it really happened
It seems that we can only pretend that nothing happened.

Yang Wenwen certainly cannot hold the boy responsible.

Thinking of Zhou Jing's hot lips and their past relationship, Yang Wenwen couldn't really calm down.

After returning to the office, Zhou Jing turned on his computer, took a few snacks, and made some simple preparations for his morning class.

[You were in a bad mood when you were running last night, what’s wrong?]

Gu Jia noticed that the boy didn't want to talk last night so she didn't ask.

Zhou Jing: [I was mad at the students (sad)]

[No need to be serious (flowers)]

Gu Jia was just trying to comfort people. She was just a teacher who was often so angry with students that she didn't want to teach, let alone a class teacher.

No matter how good the overall class discipline and academic performance are, students are young after all and will always cause trouble.

Yang Wenwen, who had just returned from breakfast, passed behind Zhou Jing and paid more attention to the boy than usual.

Zhou Jing's high school best friend Bai Xiyao came back. She came to Zhou Jing at around 11 o'clock in the morning and asked Zhou Jing to pick her up. She was more arrogant than the emperor. The fourth class had not yet ended. Zhou Jing sent a message to Gu Jia who was in class saying that her classmates had gone out to eat. Then she left school early. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, her eyes lit up.

I saw a Land Rover SUV parked on the side of the road outside the school gate.

This is Bai Xiyao's father's car, and Zhou Jing's dream car in his previous life. It's really enviable that Bai Xiyao, a 21-year-old girl, can drive such a car. It's great to have such a great father.

"Di!"

Seeing the figure walking out of the school gate, Bai Xiyao pressed the horn.

"You are too high-profile. Don't you know that honking is prohibited in the school area?"

Zhou Jing went over, stepped on the front wheel, got on the car and said.

The girl in the driver's seat had a hot girl style, with back-length hair, a loose vintage denim jacket on her upper body, and charcoal black tight jeans on her lower body. She had the confidence that a young lady should have without being arrogant. Her expression revealed a calmness and unrulyness that exceeded that of her peers, as well as a competence that most girls did not have.

Zhou Jing was used to her short hair in high school, but now she has long hair and looks "unpleasant" to him.

"I'll just press it, what can you do to me?"

Bai Xiyao honked the car horn again and shook her neck with a smug look on her face.

"Having money means you can be willful. You're becoming more and more like a girl." Zhou Jing said, his eyes fixed on Bai Xiyao's chest.

"She's a girl anyway." Bai Xiyao said, and started the car, "I don't understand. The country is so short of teachers, but you can be a high school teacher. How much did you spend to get into the experimental middle school?"

"I am a 211 university student after all, don't compare me to a crappy third-tier university student like you."

Zhou Jing couldn't help but swear.

"Is this how you talk to your students as a teacher? Stop misleading the students and resign immediately."

Bai Xiyao slandered Zhou Jing without mercy.

In Bai Xiyao's impression, Zhou Jing was a complete poor student. He played online games, billiards, and drank beer with her in high school. It was outrageous that such a student was admitted to a 211 university and is now even a teacher.

"The math scores of my class surpassed those of the experimental class."

"Keep blowing, what are you eating?"

Bai Xiyao really didn't believe that this trainee teacher could achieve such results.

"It's my pleasure if you treat me."

The thing Zhou Jing least wants to think about every day is what to eat for three meals a day.

"Then let's have hotpot!" Bai Xiyao got back to the point, "I've found a shop in the e-commerce mall and I'm going to sign the contract and pay the rent in the next two days. Are you really reluctant to give up your job as a teacher and work with me?"

"I'll work with you if I can get a stake."

It is certain that Zhou Jing will resign next year, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to look at Yang Wenwen all day long without knowing where to start.

It's like having a piece of meat hanging next to your mouth but not being able to eat it.

As for Gu Jia, it is not appropriate to maintain the current "master-disciple" relationship. Zhou Jing doesn't care, but is worried that it will delay Gu Jia's finding a partner.

So I resigned after teaching the first year of high school. The second year of high school happened to be divided into arts and science classes, so the change of class teacher had no impact on the students.

"No problem, fifty-fifty."

Since Bai Xiyao has asked Zhou Jing to be her partner, she must be sincere. She is still not at ease with cooperating with other people.

“How much start-up capital do I need?”

Zhou Jing was not just talking. When it comes to exploring entrepreneurship, Bai Xiyao is the best partner because he knows her well and has both money and skills.

"Renting a shop, deposits for goods, etc., probably less than three hundred thousand. Are you willing to take the risk of one hundred and fifty thousand?"

Bai Xiyao went straight to the point.

"I made some money writing online novels this year, so I'll transfer 200,000 to you first."

"Really? How much did you earn?"

Bai Xiyao couldn't believe it. She knew this guy was writing novels, but she didn't expect him to make so much money.

"It's only about 200,000 yuan, all on you. Send me the account number."

The risk of losing all the 200,000 yuan is within Zhou Jing's tolerance range.

"I'll look at what book you wrote later. Are you really going to invest all your money in me? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"

Two hundred thousand is not a small sum of money for Bai Xiyao's family, which has become increasingly impoverished in recent years.

"Just think of it as starting a business together. If you don't dare to gamble, you won't have a chance to win, don't you think?"

Zhou Jing trusts the character of this best friend. As for the risks of starting a business, there is no such thing as starting a business without risks. Let alone investing, even if Bai Xiyao asked him to lend her 200,000 yuan, Zhou Jing would not hesitate for a second.

In his previous life, Zhou Jing and his classmates were short of money when they set up a tutoring institution. Zhou Jing was embarrassed to ask for a high price from Bai Xiyao when he went to borrow money, so Bai Xiyao asked directly if 100,000 was enough.

"For this store, the possibility of losing money is not high, but there is no guarantee that the profit will meet expectations. Think it through."

Bai Xiyao took out a bank card from her wallet and handed it to Zhou Jing. She really needed funds at the moment. Her family business had suffered huge losses in the past two years. The car she drove, the house her family lived in, and the Internet cafe might have to be used to pay off debts one day. It was already a great honor for her family to raise 300,000 yuan in start-up capital for her.

If Bai Xiyao didn't want to revive the family business, she wouldn't be so anxious to start a business.

There is no guarantee of making a lot of money, but Bai Xiyao is sure that she will not lose money. Although she has only studied three years, she has worked very hard in the past three years. What she studied is computer science, which is very practical. She also received training for half a year. Now she is very skilled in assembling and repairing computers and other computer-related businesses. She can completely replace the technicians in her home Internet cafe.

“Hesitation leads to defeat.”

Zhou Jing opened his phone camera and took a picture of the bank card account number, then returned the card to Bai Xiyao.

"How about this, you can just lend me the money, and we'll split it equally if we make any profit, and if we lose, it'll be considered as a betrothal gift to me."

When they arrived at the destination, Bai Xiyao found a place to park the car.

"Just be my maid."

"Impossible, I'm not destined to serve others."

At the hot pot restaurant, Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao talked about starting a business while eating. Bai Xiyao currently has no long-term ideas, just to open the store first, start selling computers, assembling and repairing computers, and slowly expand the business.

Zhou Jing does have some ideas. Network technology will develop rapidly in the next few years, and there is great potential in hardware equipment. However, without any experience, it is difficult to implement ideas. Starting a business requires steady progress.

“I wish us success.”

Bai Xiyao picked up the orange and said.

Zhou Jing picked up the cup and drank it all.

After dinner, Bai Xiyao suggested going to play billiard. Zhou Jing looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock. He still had work to finish at school in the afternoon, so he made an appointment to play on the weekend. Bai Xiyao drove Zhou Jing back to school.

In the afternoon, Zhou Jing sold stocks worth two hundred thousand and transferred them to Bai Xiyao, saying that it was an investment.

Bai Xiyao was not too surprised when she received the call. She knew that this guy was trustworthy because she knew that Zhou Jing was trustworthy since he dared to help her when they faced four or five thugs when they were in the first year of high school.

Bai Xiyao said that they would share the risk together, but in reality she treated it as a temporary loan, and would split any profits equally and bear the losses on her.

With these 200,000 yuan, Bai Xiyao can work without any worries.

Yang Wenwen was struggling over whether to invite Zhou Jing to dinner at home in the evening. Today was her daughter's birthday, and her mother said she would prepare Zhou Jing's meal and asked Yang Wenwen to call after confirming. However, Yang Wenwen was too embarrassed to bring it up because of what happened last night, so she put it off from morning until afternoon.

[CC’s birthday is today. Are you free to come to my house for dinner after school?]

After much hesitation, Yang Wenwen sent a message to Zhou Jing.
