The world of film and television begins from childhood

"But I can't figure it out, Senior Brother, isn't she a relative of yours? Why did she fight with you and even make such an ugly scene? Why?"

He had heard from Zhou Chen before that Tian Yulan had some relationship with their family. Although the relationship was complicated, it would not lead to a fight in front of the school gate.

"She is not really a real relative of our family. Forget it. It's very complicated. You just need to know that she has no relationship with us now and will have no relationship with us in the future."

Zhou Chen felt upset when he thought of Tian Yulan, so he didn't want to say more and directly stated his purpose of this trip.

"Zhong Yi, I asked you to come here this time because I have something to discuss with you. But before I talk about it, I want to ask, how are you doing in choosing numbers?"

Zhong Yi frowned slightly, "Brother, given our relationship, I'll be frank. Zeshu is indeed a well-known cram school, and I teach a top-notch class. But because I've just been here for a short time and haven't made any achievements yet, my salary is not high. Zeshu also has many rules, including that you can't recruit students after class. Although the treatment is better than at Fengfan Primary School, the pressure is greater and the burden is heavier."

Zeshu is indeed a well-known cram school in their area with high tuition fees, but Zhong Yi has just arrived and has little experience. Even though he is leading a gold medal class, his salary is just so-so for now, not as good as the best, but better than the worst.

However, compared to school, the pressure in cram schools is very great, because people come to cram schools to improve their grades. As a teacher, you have to find ways and use all your brains to improve students' grades.

These students are not like in school where they cannot be beaten or scolded.

So during this period of time, Zhong Yi felt that he was physically tired and even more mentally tired.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about opening a cram school yourself?"

"Open your own cram school?"

Zhong Yi shook his head. "Brother, you are not in this industry and you don't understand the situation. It is not easy to open a cram school. If I were still working at Fengfan Primary School, I could still teach students, but now I have been fired. The parents of those students will no longer trust me. I have no connections, no funds, no students, and no money to rent a good location. I can't open a cram school at all."

"What if you can recruit students and have enough funds, will you have the confidence to teach them well and open a cram school?" Zhou Chen asked.

Zhong Yi paused while holding the wine glass. "Brother, what do you mean?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "You guessed right, I was thinking the same thing."

Zhong Yi looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief. "No, Senior Brother, aren't you an architectural designer? How did you think of doing something like this?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, “Zhong Yi, you may not know yet, but I have already resigned.”

"Brother, you resigned? Why? Your job is so good and respectable, why would you resign?"

Zhong Yi really couldn't understand it. He knew that Zhou Chen's job was an architectural designer, and it was quite famous. He could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan a month. With such a good job, he really couldn't understand why Zhou Chen would resign. If it were him, he would definitely not do that.

“No matter how good the job is, you are still working for someone else, and what you see is just the superficial beauty. In fact, it is not as good as you think.”

Zhou Chen shook his head. "The reason I resigned is that I wanted to do something on my own. Recently, because of Huanhuan's grades, I paid more attention to her further studies. I found that children nowadays are under great pressure to study and go to school. Correspondingly, various cram schools were born."

Zhong Yi: "Brother, do you want to start a cram school business?"

"Brother, I'm not saying this to you, but it's really not that easy to run a cram school. If you just start a small business and recruit a dozen students, it's far inferior to your previous job. But if you want to expand it, it's even more difficult. Connections, students, funds, good teachers, and good management are all indispensable."

"For a big cram school like Zeshu, the teachers and rent alone are already very scary. If you can't recruit enough students, you will lose money. And there are countless cram schools now, so it's not easy to expand."

Zhong Yi, who has always wanted to make money, has opened a cram school before. However, that was entirely because he was a substitute teacher in the school, so parents would send their children there. The teachers in the school had no worries about students.

But the problem is, it would be even more difficult to set up a cram school from scratch, and Zhou Chen is not a professional in this field and has no qualifications.

"Of course I know this is not an easy task, so I came to you. I want you to work with me. We can be partners, I pay the money and you do the work. Nan Li and I have been here for many years, and we have some connections. In the early stage, we can recruit some students. But if we want to retain students, the most important thing is the teaching quality. I think you have the ability to do this."

"Zhong Yi, think about it. Working for others, no matter how well you do, is still working for others. They will always make big money while you make small money. But if we cooperate and I give you shares, you will no longer be an employee but the boss. You will start your own business. It may be difficult in the early stages, but it will definitely be more promising than working as an employee."

"We work together?"

Zhou Chen's words made Zhong Yi's face change drastically, and his heart was even more agitated, mainly because of the sentence that he was no longer an employee, but a boss, which made him feel uneasy.

He came from a small city, and what he wants most is to take root in this city. His girlfriend Zhang Xueer has a good family background, and the two of them have a good relationship, but in fact Zhang Xueer's family is against it.

The reason for the opposition was simple. Zhang Xueer's parents felt that he came from a small city, had no money and no house, and was not worthy of their daughter at all.

Zhong Yi knew this, so he wanted to make money desperately, but he also knew very well that with his ability, it would take decades to earn enough money to buy a house.

But how could Zhang Xueer wait for decades?

Zhang Xueer was naive and didn't quite understand the reason, but he understood, so after Zhou Chen's words came out, he was instantly moved.

He used to envy Zhou Chen because his senior brother came from the same place as him, but was able to marry a local girl from a wealthy family, and also had a decent job and a wealthy living environment.

In his opinion, Zhou Chen is his role model and the goal he strives for.

"Brother, are you serious?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course we are serious. I have carefully calculated that if we start preparing now, we will be able to catch up with the summer tutoring class in more than a month. That is when there is the least shortage of students. We can charge less in the early stage and build up our reputation little by little. As long as parents can see the improvement of their children, they will be our invisible advertisements."

"I am a parent myself, so I know very well the influence of parents. The core of a cram school is the teacher, and we must find a reliable teacher. Zhong Yi, I believe in your ability. With you as the foundation, and then recruiting a few more teachers, we will be able to form a basic framework."

"And we can do more than just offline tutoring classes. Once we become famous, we can also do online tutoring classes."

Zhou Chen had watched the TV series, so he was very clear about Zhong Yi's ability. Zhong Yi was definitely a capable teacher. He was able to improve the grades of Huanhuan, who didn't like studying, from the bottom to the top ten in the class in just one summer vacation. This was not something that an ordinary teacher could do.

At the same time, he also knows that a major disaster will break out in the country next year, and students will not be able to go to school, so online tutoring classes will become very popular.

Among the businesses Zhou Chen considered, opening a cram school was the one he valued the most.

As for management, he also has a goal. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for Nan Li to be promoted to the position of director. At that time, he will directly urge Nan Li to resign and let her manage the affairs of the cram school. Nan Li has been in management for many years and is very familiar with this aspect.

And Nan Li works in sales, and has good connections in the sales field. In fact, recruiting students for cram schools is similar to sales, both are a kind of sales promotion.

With Nan Li's ability, if she does her best, she will definitely be able to recruit a lot of students.

As for applying for various certificates for regular cram schools, as long as all the procedures are normal and you find someone, use some connections, and spend some money, there shouldn't be any problem with the certificates.

Therefore, in Zhou Chen's opinion, excellent teachers are the most important. As for a capable and hardworking young man like Zhong Yi, as long as he is given a certain amount of shares, he believes that Zhong Yi will seriously consider it.

Of course, opening a cram school is not the only business Zhou Chen has thought of. If it really doesn't work, he still has a backup plan. However, in his opinion, cram schools are the business that can make profits the fastest, and they are also in the field of education.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, this matter is really of great importance to me. I need to think about it seriously."

Zhou Chen smiled in understanding and said, "Of course, such a big thing must be considered seriously. You can also discuss it with your girlfriend. To be honest, I also want to recruit your girlfriend, Teacher Zhang, because I think Teacher Zhang is very friendly and a very good teacher. If she can join, it will play a big role in the psychological counseling of students."

This is his sincere words. Although Zhang Xueer has a bit of a saintly personality, this kind of personality also has a great advantage. That is, it is easy for her to get along with students. When students face heavy study pressure, Zhang Xueer's sincere guidance can play a big role.

Academic performance is important, but students’ mental health is also important. The pressure in cram schools is very high. If there is a suitable teacher who can enlighten students’ psychology, it will also be of great significance to teaching.

Zhong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Xue'er is unlikely to do that. She is a little too idealistic and only wants to teach and educate people. She definitely won't be a teacher in a cram school."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "How can we know if we don't try? Tutoring schools are also for teaching and educating people. But there is no rush to persuade Teacher Zhang. We have to wait for you to make a decision first. Go back and think about it carefully. I'm really not kidding you this time. I have even prepared several million in start-up capital for the tutoring school."

"Several million in start-up capital?"

Zhong Yi was really shocked. He had never seen so much money in his life. Does it cost so much to open a cram school?

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "I tell you this not to put pressure on you, but to let you see my determination and to reassure you. However, I will not force you. In the end, no matter what decision you make, it will not affect the relationship between the two of us."

Zhong Yi replied solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will seriously consider it."

He was already a little moved before, and now he is even more excited.

In his opinion, since Zhou Chen has prepared several million funds, it will definitely not be a small business. If it can really be developed, even if he only gets a small amount of shares, it will definitely be better than working in a tutoring institution.

Chapter 49: Crazy Tian Yulan, Furious Yan Peng

After parting with Zhou Chen, Zhong Yi returned to his home, which was the house he rented, a building located in an old neighborhood.

For an outsider drifting in Jiangzhou, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in a big city like Jiangzhou.

He couldn't afford to rent a house in a good neighborhood, so he could only live in this dilapidated old neighborhood. Even if it weren't for the fact that he could have a space to spend time with his girlfriend, he would not be willing to rent a house, because even for a house like this, the monthly rent is not low.

As an elementary school teacher, although Zhong Yi considered himself to be very capable, his academic qualifications, major, and his own background did not allow him much room for development.

Being able to work as a teacher at Fengfan Primary School was actually a very good job for him.

But this kind of job has no future, so he chose to set up a small cram school after school, which was attended by students from his class.

Since they are all my students, it is not difficult to tutor them according to my teaching philosophy, and I can earn more than my salary.

Zhong Yi was actually very satisfied with his previous life. According to his plan, if he worked hard to save money for a few years, he might be able to make a down payment on a house in a more remote area of ​​Jiangzhou City, and then marry his girlfriend. They would work hard together to create their own little home.

But who knew that the world is unpredictable, and he met Tian Yulan. His unyielding character made him lose his job at Fengfan Primary School and come to Zeshu.

Relying on his outstanding mathematics teaching ability, he served as a gold medal teacher in the mathematics selection class. Although this job was stressful and burdensome, the salary was not low and his career did not stagnate.

But who would have thought that after arriving at the selection class, he still couldn't get rid of Tian Yulan, and they had another confrontation. Although he won in the end, he did not feel happy. On the contrary, because there was one more student, he felt more pressured.

Although life is difficult, Zhong Yi can still see hope and keeps working hard to move forward.

It was not until tonight that he heard what his senior brother Xia Junshan said to him, which had a great shock on him.

Investing millions, opening a large cram school, and becoming a boss were things he had only dared to imagine in his dreams before.

I have to say, even though Zhou Chen just mentioned it, he was really moved, very moved.

As a top teacher in a cram school, he knows very well how much profit there is in this industry.

He thought he had excellent abilities, but he just lacked a chance to realize his ambitions. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, and the person in charge was his trustworthy senior, he felt he had no reason to refuse.

The only thing to worry about is whether one's ability is up to the task.

"Xue'er, I need to have a good discussion with Xue'er. It would be even better if she could come along."

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi immediately picked up his phone and called his girlfriend.

…………

Tian Yulan was in a coma in the hospital for a day. When she woke up the next day, she left the hospital and went straight to the mall despite Yan Peng's obstruction.

After arriving at the Yibai Shopping Mall, she found that the mall was bustling with activity because of its anniversary celebration. The home visit counters that she had been worried about were all open as usual, and the materials were all from Wei Nuan. It seemed that Wei Nuan's materials had been delivered in time when she was unconscious.

This made Tian Yulan breathe a sigh of relief. In an instant, all the discomfort in her body seemed to disappear, and she was ready to go to work in high spirits.

But when she arrived at her post, she was told that she didn't have to go to work today, which shocked her.

Today is the busiest anniversary celebration. How could she, the floor manager, be absent on such an important day? So she hurried to the mall leader, wanting to explain the situation and continue working.

But the answer she got next left her completely confused.

She was suspended!

According to the leader, although Wei Nuan's materials arrived on time, it was a mistake on her part at work and she had an unshirkable responsibility.

Such an incident happened on such an important day. Although it did not delay the anniversary celebration, it also caused major negative impact internally. Many people filed complaints. In addition, she suddenly fainted at work yesterday. After discussion, the senior leaders decided to suspend her for a period of time for the sake of her health.

This result was really a blow to Tian Yulan.

After all, she has been in the workplace for more than ten years, so she naturally knows what suspension means.

What bullshit about considering her health? Those are all excuses. This is the mall's punishment for her. She is suspended, so naturally someone will take her place. Even if she is lucky one day and her suspension is lifted, there will be no place for her when she comes back.

Although suspension does not mean dismissal, to some extent, it is almost the same.

Tian Yulan, who was unable to accept this reality, made a scene in front of her leader, saying that she had worked hard for so many years and, even if she had no credit, she had worked hard. The company could not treat her like this. She had no objection to fining her salary or even deducting one month's salary plus performance points, but she could not be suspended.

But Tian Yulan soon learned what reality was.

Normally at home, she could achieve her goals by acting like a spoiled brat, but in the workplace, no one would tolerate her. Faced with the cold-eyed boss and colleagues who gloated over her misfortune, she could only leave sadly.

On the way home, Tian Yulan's tears never stopped. Her vision was blurred and she almost bumped into someone. Someone slapped her car window and yelled at her, but she didn't dare to refute and could only keep apologizing...

I finally got home, but I saw Yan Peng still playing games loudly, which made me angry.

"what!"

Tian Yulan roared and rushed to Yan Peng. Under Yan Peng's incredulous gaze, she pulled off his headphones and smashed them hard on the display screen. Then she frantically pushed the display screen to the ground and did not let go of the host computer or anything else, overturning them all.

Yan Peng sat on the chair, watching Tian Yulan venting like crazy, and was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.

"Tian Yulan, what are you doing, are you crazy?"

He pushed Tian Yulan aside and looked at the computer parts scattered on the ground, shaking with anger. This was the mainframe that he had spent more than ten thousand yuan on. The display screen, keyboard, mouse and headphones were all high-end products, which contributed to his silver medal.

Now this "hero" was beaten up by Tian Yulan right in front of him. No matter how tolerant and forgiving he usually was towards Tian Yulan, he couldn't tolerate it this time because Tian Yulan had touched his bottom line.

"Why did you smash my computer, Tian Yulan? What the hell are you doing? I didn't provoke you. I was just playing games. Why did you smash my computer? Why?"

The weather is too hot. I used the air conditioner for half a day in the afternoon and caught a cold. I was planning to write a long chapter, but now I feel uncomfortable all over and dizzy. It is really not easy to write so much, so I'll just leave it at that.

I hope I can feel better after a good night's sleep. If I feel better, I will write more tomorrow. After all, many friends are not very satisfied with the recent plot. In fact, part of the reason is because the update is not strong and the plot is not coherent. I can only say sorry...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 50 Yan Peng gets angry

"Why? Yan Peng, you still have the nerve to ask why? If you had fought harder, would I be like this? It's all because of you that I don't fight hard enough, so I have to work hard for everything I want. Why did I choose to marry you in the first place?"

After venting her anger, Tian Yulan became even angrier when she saw Yan Peng still yelling at her at the top of his lungs, and she pointed at Yan Peng and started cursing at him.

"Tian Yulan, you are really crazy. You can say anything. Am I not doing my best? And you regret marrying me. If you hadn't married me, would you have the life you have now?"
