Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 198 Internet Cafe Opening

The parent-teacher meeting for the first year of high school was held as scheduled on the weekend. It is only held once a year, so it is quite formal.

Zhou Jing arranged the class monitor and other class cadres to be responsible for receiving parents in the classroom. He asked the class monitor to buy paper cups and asked the boarding students to bring a few thermoses to the classroom to provide boiled water for the parents.

In principle, all students' parents are required to attend parent-teacher meetings. If the parents are really busy, there is nothing that can be done. Some students ask their older brothers and sisters or relatives who live closer to the school to attend.

“We welcome all parents to attend the Parents’ Meeting despite their busy schedules.”

It was the first time that Zhou Jing presided over a parent-teacher meeting as a class teacher. He was very calm. After a brief opening speech, he distributed the students' last monthly test papers to the parents so that the parents could have the most intuitive understanding of their children's grades. This was followed by a question-and-answer session. The most frequently asked questions by parents were about their children's academic performance and how to choose subjects.

Zhou Jing patiently answered their questions one by one.

“Teaching students is the primary responsibility of school teachers and class teachers. However, students’ learning situation is closely related to their living conditions and physical and mental health, so parents need to work together and supervise. What the school can do is to provide students with a good learning environment, and parents should create a harmonious family atmosphere for their children.”

The parent-teacher meeting was about to end, and Zhou Jing gave a final summary. As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom was filled with warm applause from the parents.

Some parents initially did not trust Zhou Jing, the head teacher and math teacher, because he was too young. However, when they learned that the math scores of Zhou Jing's classes repeatedly surpassed those of the experimental classes, they dispelled their distrust. After witnessing Zhou Jing's words and deeds with their own eyes today, they had to respect Zhou Jing, a young man who has not yet graduated from college, even more.

Zhou Jing didn't say too much and ended the parent-teacher meeting when it was almost time so as not to delay the parents who had to travel far to get home.

Some parents wanted to invite Zhou Jing to dinner privately, but Zhou Jing declined politely because he was reluctant to accept the invitation.

Innovation Internet Cafe is managed by Bai Xiyao's father, and Bai Xiyao is responsible for technology, and everything is in order.

As the Internet cafe began to install computers, it also started recruiting network administrators in advance. In order to quickly enter a stable business state after opening, Bai Xiyao transferred two network administrators from her own Internet cafe to the Innovation Internet Cafe to serve as supervisors and team leaders, and began to train new recruits, temporarily arranging the new recruits to practice in her own Internet cafe first.

Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao’s partnership not only solved technical problems, but also management problems.

By the end of April, the Internet cafe had completed its installation and needed half a month of testing and inspection, as well as fire inspections, pre-job training for network administrators, etc. If Zhou Jing were to handle these trivial matters by himself, he would definitely be overwhelmed.

After the Internet cafe was installed, Zhou Jing went to check out the situation and contacted Bai Xiyao in advance to go together.

After school at noon, Bai Xiyao drove to Experimental Middle School to pick up Zhou Jing.

"I'm so hungry, what do you want to eat?"

Bai Xiyao said to Zhou Jing who got in the car.

"I'm fine with anything, whatever you want." Zhou Jing looked at Bai Xiyao and said, "Damn, is this so trendy?"

Today, Bai Xiyao wore a white cartoon T-shirt on the upper body and pink wide-leg pants on the lower body, which was both individual and fashionable.

"Always at the forefront of trends, do guys like to touch girls' legs when they're driving?"

Bai Xiyao looked down at her legs.

“Because it can relieve fatigue.”

Zhou Jing explained seriously.

Bai Xiyao was speechless and reached out to touch Zhou Jing's leg, imitating the way Zhou Jing touched her leg while driving.

Zhou Jing didn't mind at all, he touched her smooth arm and said: "You look quite feminine when you show some flesh."

“Wouldn’t it be more feminine if I didn’t wear any?”

Bai Xiyao held the steering wheel with both hands and looked ahead.

"You'll know after you try it." When they reached Xueyuan Road, Zhou Jing pointed to the restaurant in front and said, "Let's eat here."

Bai Xiyao parked the car outside the restaurant and got out. Her sexy pink pants attracted the attention of all the college students passing by. Zhou Jing, who was following behind her, couldn't help but take a closer look and said, "She gets a lot of attention, right?"

Bai Xiyao turned around and smiled, then took Zhou Jing's arm in public.

"Don't do it, I have a girlfriend."

Zhou Jing said no but he didn't actually shake Bai Xiyao off. Bai Xiyao let go and said nonchalantly, "I don't mind what you mind. You value women over friendship."

"If you don't mind, I don't mind either."

This was the first time that Zhou Jing was accused by a girl of putting women before friendship.

As time was limited, they had a simple meal and then went to the Internet cafe.

"Everyone gather together, this is Mr. Zhou, the real new owner of Innovation Internet Cafe."

When they arrived at the Internet cafe, Bai Xiyao called the network administrators together to formally introduce Zhou Jing.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

The network administrators said one after another.

"Boss Bai is the real boss. I'm just a bystander."

Zhou Jing glanced around and first noticed the only girl, who should be the receptionist.

The girl’s looks were average, but her round face was quite cute. She was a little over 1.6 meters tall and had an average figure, but a deep cleavage, which met Zhou Jing’s requirements for an Internet cafe receptionist.

Internet cafes will have better business if they have an eye-catching front desk mascot.

After noticing the girls, Zhou Jing started to pay attention to the boys. The first impression Zhou Jing had of the male network administrators was that they were non-mainstream. In 10, non-mainstream was still quite popular. They all had long hair, and one of them had an afro. They all had junior high school or high school education. At the beginning of this era, people with high school education did not want to go to construction sites and could only work in Internet cafes or KTVs in the city.

The network administrators looked at the two handsome men and beautiful women in front of them who were only two years older than them or even younger than them, and both had their own cars. They felt that their lives were completely different from theirs, and they did not belong to the same world at all.

They speculated that Zhou Jing and Bai Xiyao might be in a relationship. The male network administrators felt very disappointed when they thought of this possibility. They had been fantasizing about being noticed by the beautiful boss Bai Xiyao and winning her over. The appearance of Zhou Jing brought them back to reality. How could the beautiful boss be interested in them when there was a rich and handsome guy like Zhou Jing?

After getting to know the network administrator, Bai Xiyao dismissed them and asked Zhou Jing, "How does it feel to be the boss?"

“Better than being a teacher.”

Zhou Jing looked around. The interior of the Internet cafe was completely new, with brand new machines, brand new tables and chairs. The hot game posters on the walls made people's adrenaline rush. The hall near the front desk of the Internet cafe was the general area, and the back hall was the VIP area.

The only drawback is that there are no private rooms due to space constraints.

"You are really patient. If I were you, I would have resigned long ago."

Bai Xiyao said this, but in her heart she admired the boy for being able to finish what he started and not give up halfway.

"Be a kind person."

Zhou Jing's resignation now is irresponsible to the school and to more than 50 students.

I wonder if I will return to my alma mater in the future. I resigned during the summer vacation so that the school will have enough time to recruit teachers.

"What to do on May Day?"

Bai Xiyao took two bottles of Jianlibao from the freezer and gave one to Zhou Jing.

"Revise papers and make PPTs."

Zhou Jing's paper has been revised almost completely, with less than 10% plagiarism found, so it can basically be finalized, but the defense PPT has not yet been changed.

"I also have to take two days off to work on my paper."

Bai Xiyao asked her supervisor to help revise her thesis after she was almost done with it. She also asked her supervisor to revise the PPT after she was almost done with it. Some time ago, she went to school and gave her supervisor a bottle of Huazi and a bottle of Taizi. The money was not wasted and her thesis went very smoothly.

The last day of April ended and the May Day holiday came. The busy senior year seemed to have fast-forwarded. Soon after the May Day holiday, it was time to take graduation photos. After taking the graduation photos, Zhou Jing came back from Tangdu just in time for the opening of the Internet cafe.
