Inside and Outside the Siege: A Woman's Battle for Marriage

Chapter 5 Seeing through the old man's 36 tricks (2)
The more Lin Haibo said it, the worse it sounded. Xu Qiuying got angry and pouted, "Lin Haibo, your views are too biased. I don't want to hear it anymore. I don't care about it, anyway, I'm going to give it a try."

Lin Haibo said in a low voice: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. If you go, you will be fooled."

Xu Qiuying stood up and said coldly: "I just don't believe it. Can people still eat me!"

Lin Haibo said angrily, "I just want to eat you. Eat your tofu, and I'll fix you!"

Xu Qiuying turned her head and left.She is so angry.

Lin Haibo chased after a few steps, and warned loudly: "I'm worried and kind, you must not go!"

Although Lin Haibo disagreed, Xu Qiuying decided to serve as Zhang Zhonghou's English tutor and sales translator after much deliberation.She can't give up such a good opportunity because of Lin Haibo's objection. This opportunity can not only make money and relieve her financial pressure of going to school, but also help her in the sales department and communicate face-to-face with foreigners. It is very important to master fluent English in order to realize the dream of being a reporter in the future.

Zhang Zhonghou didn't look like the kind of person Lin Haibo said.What's more, she just taught him English and didn't do anything else with him. What can he do?Lin Haibo was indeed overwhelmed. In his eyes, the current boss was as black as a crow in the world. In fact, it was not that serious.However, it is also understandable that this is often the case when loving someone. The deeper the love, the more afraid of losing.

When Xu Qiuying was making up her mind, Lin Haibo was also tossing and turning.Many old men now set their eyes on the school and come to the school to eat tender grass and pick flowers.It made the boys in the school very depressed, and the fat and water were seriously leaked out!Some boys even said that every time they saw cars lined up at the school gate, they wished they could smash them with stones.Now many girls in the class are sugar daddies outside, Zhang Lina is the most typical one, she wears from head to toe the things bought by old men, and she looks arrogant all day long, for fear that others will not know that she is here. Like a sugar daddy.Those who are close to ink are black!Xu Qiuying often hangs out with their messy girls, which is really worrying.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had to stop Xu Qiuying. 500 yuan a class, this price is simply sky-high!Can a college student do this price as a tutor?Any fool knows that there is something tricky in it.Is Xu Qiuying really that valuable?impossible.An ordinary college student who is not an English major, if it is really worth the price, it is simply a fantasy.

He decided to have a serious talk with her again, to analyze the problem further and thoroughly, and to tear the old pervert's face completely apart.Let her know that the current boss doesn't have a good thing!

Before we could talk about it, Xu Qiuying had already gone to give Zhang Zhonghou a class.In the first English class, Zhang Zhonghou really had no basic knowledge of English. He didn't know a few words at all, and he was almost a blank sheet of paper.Xu Qiuying has to start teaching the most basic words and even phonetic symbols, and the pronunciation is very inaccurate, just like teaching primary school students.Fortunately, he was serious about learning English, as if he would never give up until he learned English well. Every time Xu Qiuying taught a word, he would read it several times.In order to facilitate memory, he also marked it with Chinese homonyms.For example, Cooperate (cooperation), he writes "guest sleeper and tired";Seeing his mark, Xu Qiuying almost fainted from laughter.

"It's easy to remember." Zhang Zhonghou said with self-mocking, "Oh, it's really 'the book is used to hate less'! I used to have a poor English foundation, and I have left it for so many decades, and I have already returned it all. Teacher."

Looking at Zhang Zhonghou's uncontrollably funny look, Xu Qiuying felt that her worries at the beginning were unnecessary, and Lin Haibo's point of view was even more biased, saying that he was an old pervert, a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, but wanted to sugar-coat bullets.Now it seems that things are not as serious as he thought.

It seems that Zhang Zhonghou is really interested in learning English. You can see that he reads along with Yiyi like a first-year student, and he looks cute.If he didn't really want to learn English, who would have such a leisurely mind as his big boss?
What Xu Qiuying didn't expect was that Zhang Zhonghou was a drunkard who didn't want to drink.Of course, his hard work is also pretending. He doesn't know anything about English, and he doesn't even know the simplest words.In a word, his so-called learning English, communicating with foreign friends, hiring Xu Qiuying as an English teacher, and "translating property sales" are all acting.And his English pronunciation is inaccurate, and his pronunciation is marked with Chinese homonyms, all of which are specially set up for the needs of acting.To put it bluntly, he deliberately wanted to make Xu Qiuying laugh, enhance his sense of humor, and make her feel good about him.

That's right, in order to catch the mermaid Xu Qiuying, Zhang Zhonghou really spent a lot of painstaking efforts.In fact, he is not interested in English at all, and his English skills are not that bad. These are just a process of fishing and some baits he uses.After the mermaid is in his hands, he won't bother to learn any more bullshit English!Thinking about Xu Qiuying's simplicity, if he could really use English, with his wealth, wouldn't it be enough to just hire an English translator?Why do you have to learn English by yourself!

After class, Zhang Zhonghou said, "Can we have dinner together tonight?"

She was so caring, Xu Qiuying couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to agree: "Okay."

"What does Xiao Xu like to eat?"

"whatever."

"Then let's eat whatever we want."

Zhang Zhonghou asked Zhao Pinghai to book a box at the "Supreme Abalone's Wing Building". It was the first time for Xu Qiuying to eat at such a high-end place. Abalone, shark's fin, bird's nest, etc. had only been heard of before, and he had never even seen it. Some are flattered.

Zhang Zhonghou smiled kindly and said, "Eat whatever you want, don't be polite." Then he raised his goblet and said, "Come on, I'll toast Xiao Xu. You've worked hard."

Xu Qiuying pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not hard at all, I think it's fun."

"I'm completely English-illiterate. It must be difficult for you to teach me, I know." Zhang Zhonghou drank the wine in his glass after speaking, thinking that the next thing would be more fun.

"Boss Zhang studied very seriously, which is really admirable." Thinking of Zhang Zhonghou's appearance in the afternoon, Xu Qiuying still couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Zhonghou suddenly asked, "Where is Xiao Xu's house?"

"Rural on the outskirts of Harbor City."

"Oh, what do parents do?"

"They're all farmers."

Zhang Zhonghou smiled slightly: "My parents are also farmers. What are your plans after graduation?"

Xu Qiuying was at a loss: "I don't know yet. It's hard to find a job now."

"Do you want to stay and develop in Haitian City?"

"Think about it, even dream about it."

"Okay. With your talent and hard work, I believe you will be able to stay in Haitian City." Zhang Zhonghou said.

Zhang Zhonghou didn't just ask these questions casually, he called them throwing stones to ask the way and doing a thorough investigation.Battlefields and shopping malls all pay attention to knowing yourself and the enemy in order to win every battle, and the same is true for mermaid fishing in the love field.Only by knowing the details of the other party can we prescribe the right medicine.

After dinner, Zhang Zhonghou sent Xu Qiuying back to school.When he was about to reach the school gate, he took out 700 yuan to Xu Qiuying and said, "Xiao Xu, this is your labor fee for today."

Xu Qiuying took the money and said, "So much?"

Zhang Zhonghou said: "You teach very well, and it's the first time. You should be rewarded with 200 yuan. 200 only."

Xu Qiuying knew that refusal was useless, and besides, it was also the recognition of others, respect is worse than obedience, so she put away the money and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

No more, no less, give Xu Qiuying 700 yuan, let her taste the sweetness of making money first, of course Zhang Zhonghou also planned it.Each class is 500 yuan, and an additional 200 yuan is given to her, which not only shows her recognition, but also does not appear too abrupt, and achieves the purpose of using money to throw stones to ask for directions.For a family like Xu Qiuying's, an extra 200 yuan would mean an extra month of food expenses for her.It was for this purpose why he asked so many about her family situation just now.Through several contacts, he already knew that to catch such a girl, one has to take it slow step by step, and there is no rush, as the fish will be scared away if you are too hasty.

Now it seems that she is still very interested in money, which is easy to handle, as long as a woman who is interested in money is easy to handle.

Back in the dormitory, Xu Qiuying was very happy. While studying, she was able to make money at the same time, and she made a lot of money. It was the first time for her to earn so much at one time.With only one class a week, she can earn 500 yuan, and 2000 yuan a month, which is more than enough for her living expenses.If there are one or two 1000 yuan sales translation jobs every month, she can still save a lot of money and send it back to her parents.

Although Xu Qiuying also felt that 500 yuan per class was indeed a bit astonishingly high, she still felt at ease.This is the income of one's hard work and the employer's recognition of one's ability.It wasn't given to her by others, let alone stolen or robbed. What is she afraid of?As long as people are willing to give it, she dares to take it.Not to mention 500, even 5000 dare to ask.

Lin Haibo approached Xu Qiuying and said, "Qiuying, I've thought it over and over again, and I think it's better not to have your English tutor."

"And why?" Xu Qiuying was already a little disgusted with Lin Haibo's nagging. When there was nothing to do, he always liked to use this matter as an excuse. He was simply a man.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong. You don't even think about it. How can there be such a good thing in the world? There must be tricks in it, you have to be careful." Lin Haibo thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, I watched it online yesterday. The news said: A female college student was raped and then killed by her employer as a tutor..."

"Stop talking!" Xu Qiuying interrupted Lin Haibo, and said angrily, "Why do you think it's your business? Why do you use such news to scare me? Do you think it makes sense?"

Lin Haibo said sincerely: "I'm not trying to scare you, I'm really worried about you."

"What are you worried about me?"

"I'm worried that the old man will think about you."

"Here it comes again. I knew you were worried about this. They are not as bad as you think!" Xu Qiuying said with a straight face, "I lost such a good job. You support me without money?"

Lin Haibo was speechless, stopped talking, and concentrated on eating.At present, he does not have this strength, and he still relies on his parents to support him.Both his parents were laid-off workers, and they made a living by setting up stalls. Their lives were difficult, and they borrowed money to go to college.Raise her?It never occurred to him, at least not yet.

Drunkards are not drinking

When Xu Qiuying was teaching Zhang Zhonghou, he suddenly asked seriously: "Xiao Xu, how do you say 'We hope that both sides will establish a mutually beneficial trade relationship' in English?"

“Our hope is to establish mutual beneficial trading relations between us.”

"What about 'hope we have a good time working together'?"

“I hope that we can cooperate happily.”

"What about 'hope we can continue working together'?"
