The past is unbearable to look back on!
Sheng Ning’an spoke with a stoic face, "If you spent a month straight grinding through papers, you’d score this many points too."
"But I grind on questions every day, don’t I? So what kind of divine papers are you grinding on?"
She wanted to grind too!!!
Sheng Ning’an: "Do you remember the guy who came to attend the parent-teacher meeting for me last time? He’s the one who came up with those papers, and if you need them, I can introduce you. It’s just that the guy charges a steep tutoring fee, thirty thousand a month."
"You mean the super handsome guy from last time?" Her desk mate’s eyes brightened, clearly tempted.
Those who could attend Jiu Middle School weren’t short on family resources. For ordinary people, thirty thousand was a sky-high price, but for Jiu Middle School students, if it could really improve their grades, spending thirty thousand a month was not out of the question.
After all, the fees they paid for private classes weren’t much less.
"I’ll ask my mom when I get home, okay? Thirty thousand a month is expensive, but if it really can boost my grades by a few hundred points, she’d definitely be happy."
"Alright, I’ll also ask around on my end, see if he’s got the time." After all, it wasn’t her decision to make, she could at most help make a connection.
Her desk mate hugged her, saying, "Thanks, sister. If this works out, I’ll treat you to a week of lunches."
Sheng Ning’an immediately messaged Xu Weiran, telling him her monthly exam scores and mentioned that her desk mate also wanted to seek his tutoring help.
Xu Weiran, having received Sheng Ning’an’s message, was torn between laughter and tears, and replied with nimble fingers, "Sister, do you really think your brother has that much free time?"
He could easily sell a patent for hundreds of thousands, so would he care about that little bit of tutoring fee?
He had agreed to help only because of Sheng Yeli’s face. Did the girl really think he was short on cash?
Even if he was short on cash, he wouldn’t resort to tutoring.
Wouldn’t it be better to work for a company? His annual salary would at least be a million or more.
Sheng Ning’an: "Didn’t you say you wanted to save up a dowry? Am I not doing you a favor by introducing clients to you?"
Xu Weiran: "Thanks, but I was just joking with you. Tell your desk mate, your brother really doesn’t have time."
If the other party wasn’t willing, Sheng Ning’an couldn’t force the issue.
As for his claim of not having time, Sheng Ning’an didn’t doubt it. He and her Young Uncle worked in the same lab, and Young Uncle was so busy that he didn’t get home until late at night. She too was initially puzzled how he had time to tutor her.
It seems that he just happened to be less busy during that period of time.
Sheng Ning’an passed on the message that he had no time to her desk mate, who looked visibly disappointed.
But it was more an impulse anyway, and it wasn’t worth getting upset over it not working out.
Shen Zhaozhao, after seeing the monthly exam results of the girl that the teacher had sent to her, temporarily dismissed the idea of sending her to a cram school. It seemed that they needed to put some pressure on the girl; otherwise, her true capabilities would remain hidden.
It looks like Sheng Ning’an’s month of hard work on the questions was worthwhile after all.
The next day, which was a weekend, Sheng Ning’an messaged Xu Weiran, suggesting that she treat him to a meal.
Xu Weiran laughed upon receiving the girl’s message: "At least you have some conscience."
His hard work over the month wasn’t in vain.
"Can’t you speak properly?" When had she ever lacked conscience?
"Alright, my apologies for misspeaking. I have received your thanks, but let’s skip the meal!"
He had other things to do today.
"Well then, I did offer to treat you, so it’s your own refusal. Don’t come back later saying I’m ungrateful." Sheng Ning’an put away her phone and went off to shop by herself.
However, she hadn’t gone far when she spotted a familiar figure.
