Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 139: There are too many dumplings on this winter solstice

At the end of November, Zhou Jing successfully completed his first small goal, "I am a millionaire."

Zhou Jing's next goal is to earn five million. As a reborn person, it is not a problem for Zhou Jing to make five million in a year with one million in capital. However, Zhou Jing is not complacent at all. In fact, his inner goal is ten million, and five million is conservative.

The procedures for the store that Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao jointly opened are still in the process. Bai Xiyao has contacted the suppliers in advance, and they can pick up the goods and open the store at any time after the industrial and commercial procedures are completed.

December is halfway over before we know it, 12 is coming to an end, and the first semester of the first year of high school is also mostly over.

The school allows classes to hold New Year’s Day parties, and the class teachers organize the class activities.

"The New Year's Eve party is a rare opportunity for training. Everyone should prepare in advance. Studying should be the primary task and cannot be changed. Practicing the program after studying is a rest. You can prepare the program individually, or prepare together in the dormitory or contact other people. Singing, dancing, skits and dramas are all fine."

During the self-study class last week, Jing announced the New Year's Day arrangements in the class.

"The school actually allowed a New Year's Eve party to be held."

“I thought we were not allowed to do anything except study.”

The students were flattered to hear about the New Year's Day party. Such an event was a luxury for them.

"So everyone should cherish it and try to get everyone involved in the show. You don't have to limit yourself to Thunderstorm and Hamlet. You can choose any excerpts you like from novels or TV series you've read to perform. You can also adapt them and do whatever makes you happy."

As the class teacher, Zhou Jing hoped that since a New Year's Eve party was being held, the students could have fun to their heart's content. They had indeed been feeling very depressed in the past two months since the National Day holiday.

“Who’s singing with me?”

"What song are you going to sing?"

"I will start self-study and discuss the New Year's Eve party program after class."

Zhou Jing will definitely be asked to perform a show at that time, and singing will not be any pressure for Zhou Jing.

There was no need for props for the high school New Year's Eve party. The class teacher only asked the class monitor to buy some drinks, fruits and melon seeds, drinks, oranges, peanuts and melon seeds. The per capita budget was just over five yuan, so as not to put pressure on the students.

"Is Teacher Zhou going to have New Year's Day off?"

"Don't let it go."

"Hey!"

The student sighed in disappointment.

"It's already halfway through December, and there's only about a month left until winter vacation. The final exam is a joint exam for five schools, so you need to study hard."

Students are tired and teachers don’t want to have a holiday either.

“Which schools are being jointly admitted?”

"Experiment, Yushi Middle School, No. 11 Middle School."

"."

"Master will perform a talent show at the New Year's Eve party."

When Zhou Jing met Gu Jia on the way back to the office, he informed her in advance so that he could interact with the young teachers in class activities. When Zhou Jing was in high school, the young teachers were not married, so they could invite them to sing in the classroom at the party. Now Gu Jia is the only unmarried one, and the married teachers may not be in school at that time.

"As a teacher, I have no talent or artistic talent."

Gu Jia snorted.

"Master sings so beautifully."

Zhou Jing still remembers that Gu Jia sang an English song, "Pretty Boy", at the New Year's Eve party in his senior year of high school. Her sweet voice touched the hearts of the young people.

Thinking of that unforgettable moment, Zhou Jing whistled the melody of this song.

"It depends on your performance. Do you like this song?" Gu Jia was deeply moved when she heard the familiar melody. She was 23 years old that year and was carefree.

"I like Master's singing."

Zhou Jing fell in love with this song because of Gu Jia.

"Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you, Like I never ever loved no one before you." Gu Jia hummed a few lines and said, "Do you like singing in KTV?"

"like."

Zhou Jing can’t say that he likes singing, but he always enjoys singing with his classmates every time he goes to KTV.

"Then next time my bestie sings, you can go with me."

Gu Jia and her best friend agreed a long time ago that they would be able to sing when they were free, but this week one was free and the other one was not, and next week one was free and the other one was not, and it was kept being put off until probably the winter vacation. The main reason was that they wanted to take Zhou Jing with them, so they could only go on weekends. They had originally planned to go during the National Day holiday, but Zhou Jing was not free during those days.

"Okay!"

Zhou Jing knew what it meant to meet Gu Jia’s best friend. At the very least, he would be misunderstood as Gu Jia’s rumored boyfriend. However, Zhou Jing still agreed readily. Sometimes, it was just hard to control one’s emotions.

According to the current trend, Zhou Jing feels that there is great hope if he pursues Gu Jia.

It's just that Zhou Jing likes her and doesn't mind her age. The key is that Zhou Jing has no plans in that regard for the time being, and Gu Jia is too old to wait, so Zhou Jing is now in a dilemma. If he were reborn as a senior in high school, Zhou Jing would take her without any hesitation. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Zhou Jing can spend as much time as he wants, and Gu Jia can afford to delay.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Jing corrected homework for a while and then went home.

Gu Jia went to the cafeteria to eat, and looked back at Zhou Jing before leaving.

Zhou Jing started off a few seconds later, and the two of them tried to keep a distance from each other at school.

All the way, Zhou Jing kept looking at Gu Jia's back until Gu Jia entered the cafeteria. Gu Jia's figure still appeared in Zhou Jing's mind, and her legs in black thick stockings lingered in Zhou Jing's mind.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Gu Jia ordered a rice bowl with green peppers and shredded pork, and Zhou Jing ordered stir-fried pork with garlic shoots.

"When will Master be back?"

Zhou Jing took two pairs of chopsticks and gave one pair to Gu Jia.

"Two or three nights."

Gu Jia went back too early and was bored alone. She wanted to say that she was going to change jobs next year, but she stopped herself.

After listening to her best friend’s analysis last time, Gu Jia wanted to talk to the boy about work but she didn’t have the courage. She was afraid to hear that the boy would continue to be a teacher here after being hired as a full-time teacher. People will always avoid facts they don’t want to face.

After dinner, they arrived at the apartment area and went back to their dormitories.

Bai Xiyao completed the procedures for the store. She took a photo of the business license and sent it to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing doesn't care about the current stage of the store. In the first stage, it only sells computers, repairs computers, etc. The profit is limited, and Zhou Jing has no plan to distribute dividends.

What Zhou Jing cares about is when the store can be upgraded to a company and do some big projects or engineering, such as laying and installing network hardware, and slowly developing into a deeper technology company or e-commerce direction to have the hope of becoming bigger and stronger. If this step cannot be achieved, this entrepreneurial venture will be a failure for Zhou Jing.

It would be better to write novels instead of staying in the shop selling and repairing computers.

Zhou Jing received more than 290,000 yuan in royalties in November, not counting the 200,000 yuan he gave to Bai Xiyao. Zhou Jing now has more than 800,000 yuan on hand, all of which he invested in stocks. Quantitative change has brought about qualitative change, and the returns are considerable.

With the current capital, Zhou Jing can easily earn hundreds of thousands of yuan every month.

The first novel has begun to be finished, and Zhou Jing has already written more than 100,000 words of the second novel. He can publish a new book at any time, but in order not to affect the finishing rhythm of the first book, Zhou Jing will wait until the first book is completed before publishing it.

Zhou Jing is planning to change the platform for his new book. After all, it is a small website with limited traffic. Zhou Jing updates 600,000 to 700,000 words every month and earns more than 200,000 yuan, which is not very efficient. It is difficult to make a big breakthrough based on the platform's traffic.

The winter solstice of the year has arrived. There are a lot of dumplings this winter solstice. Yang Wenwen, Gu Jia, and Bai Xiyao all invited Zhou Jing to their home to eat dumplings at noon.
