Chapter 41 A Private Lesson

Inside an old office building, in a simple classroom, Qi Xueyao was smiling brightly, holding a piece of chalk while teaching a group of students. However, these students were no longer young children but rather high school juniors and seniors, or adults from well-off families.

These were people who wanted to study abroad, travel, or conduct business overseas and needed to improve their English skills.

Li Yang’s Crazy English had already emerged in 1996, sparking a nationwide craze for learning English. By the time Qi Xueyao entered the market, she was already a little late. However, she had her own advantages.

She was young, beautiful, energetic, and had a perfect accent, which attracted a large number of young learners. After all, given the choice, no one would prefer listening to an old man teaching over a stunning young woman.

Moreover, Qi Xueyao came up with a strategy far ahead of its time—offering three free trial lessons, allowing students to enroll only if they were satisfied. This promotional tactic quickly drew in her first batch of students.

Looking at the students who were attentively listening to her lesson, Qi Xueyao smiled with enthusiasm. She could feel that the first step of her entrepreneurial journey was already a success.

It might not take long before her training center flourished, bringing her the first bucket of gold. Once she secured her initial earnings, she planned to lease more venues, hire young and dynamic teachers, replicate the successful model, and gradually expand her business empire.

“Hmph

“When that wastrel Qi Lin squanders his family fortune while I rise to become a billionaire, let’s see if he still has the nerve to show off in front of me!”

Just thinking about yesterday’s incident at Häagen-Dazs made Qi Xueyao furious. However, she had no idea that the very person she was secretly cursing in her heart was lazily leaning against the wall outside the classroom, listening to her lesson.

“Qi Xueyao is pretty impressive, huh? She even came up with a marketing strategy as advanced as offering free trial lessons. Give her a little more time, and she might really take off and challenge my family’s business.”

“Speaking of which, I never thought much about her usual business attire at home, but now that she’s standing in the classroom, the whole teacher-uniform vibe really hits differently.”

“If I get the chance, I should have her give me a private lesson.”

A glint of amusement flashed across Qi Lin’s dark eyes. If Qi Xueyao knew what Qi Lin was thinking, she would probably be so furious that she’d lash him with a teacher’s whip.

Now that he had figured out where she was running her business, Qi Lin didn’t bother her any further. Instead, he turned and walked down the stairs.

At this time, the office building was at its busiest, with people everywhere. If he tried to mess with Qi Xueyao now, the chances of being caught were too high.

But by four or five in the afternoon, when most people had left, he could return for a surprise visit and have her give him a lesson. For now, however, Qi Lin had more important things to do.

Back in his car, Qi Lin picked up his phone and dialed Wang Dongcheng’s number. It was Saturday, meaning Qi Lin didn’t have school, but Wang Dongcheng was still miserably working in the workshop.

Hearing his phone ring, Wang Dongcheng initially didn’t want to answer—after all, if the workshop supervisor caught him, he’d get a pay deduction.

But when he saw that the call was from Qi Lin, he hesitated for a moment before stepping aside to pick it up.

“Uncle Wang, it sounds really noisy over there. Are you at work? Am I disturbing you?”

Qi Lin could already guess from the background noise that Wang Dongcheng was busy working.

Qi Lin’s polite tone left Wang Dongcheng feeling a bit flattered.

“No, no! I’m just taking a break. Qi Lin, is there something you need?” Wang Dongcheng asked.

Qi Lin chuckled and said, “Not really, it’s just that since it’s Saturday and I have nothing to do, I was thinking about asking Siling to go to the amusement park with me.”

Damn, this guy was bold.

He was actually asking a high school girl out right in front of her father! Wasn’t he afraid of getting his legs broken? But Qi Lin wouldn’t say this without a good reason.

Last night, he had waived Wang Dongcheng’s hefty 12,000-yuan repair fee, and his polite and well-mannered behavior had already won Wang Dongcheng’s favor.

Wang Dongcheng had even thought about setting him up with his daughter. Now, hearing that Qi Lin wanted to take Wang Siling out, he couldn’t help but smile to himself.

“This kid really does have feelings for my daughter.”

Even though that’s what he was thinking, Wang Dongcheng still sighed and said, “Well… Qi Lin, I’m really sorry, but Siling already made plans with her classmates this morning to go to the riverfront. She’s probably not home right now.”

Hearing this, Qi Lin found it amusing. This girl was probably trying to avoid him, so she left early in the morning. She might have gone out with her female classmates, but there was a good chance that Yu Chen would show up along the way, giving them the perfect opportunity to deepen their relationship.

However, now that Qi Lin had been reborn, he wasn’t going to let their feelings develop so easily. He had made this call precisely to track Wang Siling’s movements and plan his next step accordingly.

“No problem, Uncle Wang. If Siling is busy today, I’ll ask her out another time.”

Qi Lin said with a smile before hanging up.

“What a well-mannered young man. He’s so much better than that brat Yu Chen. If Siling and Qi Lin ended up together, that would be wonderful.”

As he hung up the phone, Wang Dongcheng couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that Qi Lin was truly a good kid.
