Chapter 147 - The Walking RMB (1)
Yan Shuyu couldn't help but grumble when she found that out. Male God Liu had it well thought out -- using their own lessons as reward. Manager Yang, however, whispered to her, “If you calculate it out using Fengyu’s fees, 30 lessons will come out to be almost 20,000 yuan. Over on the Galaxy side, they are a professional training institution, their cost is even higher than that.”
Yan Shuyu had much more respect for Male God Liu after she heard Manager Yang’s explanation. The Male God was quite generous. First prize was 30 free lessons for two kids, a value of 40,000 yuan. That was quite a prize.
Except that her son was to get free lessons anyway, so this prize wasn’t very meaningful to her. There wasn’t much to be excited about. When Male God Liu handed them the prize personally, she was even thinking that the boss probably didn’t care much for it either.
The little male lead’s piano instructor was a well-known pianist. He was, by definition, a piano prince. Such was the privilege of a rich person. Even if the little male lead wanted to learn any other kind of instruments, he could totally hire a professional in the field. There was no reason for him to waste time at a small institution like this one.
Nonetheless, she was wrong this time. After Zhou Qinhe accepted the prize, he turned and asked Zhong Yi, standing next to him, right then and there, “Do you want to take lessons here?”
By now, Zhong Yi and Zhang Yuanjia were already best of buds as could be seen by the fact that he did not resent Yuanbao holding his hand. The two boys were still holding hands the entire time even after the games were over.
Hearing his dad’s question, little Zhong Yi gave his little buddy a look, then he lifted his head and gave Yan Shuyu a look and said, “I want to take cello lessons from Aunty Yan.”
Zhang Yuanjia was very happy. “I am taking cello lessons from my mom as well!”
Yan Shuyu was baffled. “But I am not an instructor here and won’t be able to teach you.”
Liu Ci smiled and said, “Aunty Yan will become an instructor here two months from now, after she had completed her certificate examination. Can you wait that long, little Zhong Yi?”
Yan Shuyu: “……”
She really wished the male lead would shake his head. Unfortunately, this little kiddo has a mind of his own at his very young age. Once he had locked in on her, he nodded decisively and said, “Yes, I can wait.”
“Are you alright with that as well, Boss Zhou?”
Boss Zhou put on the world’s-best-father look and said, “Sure, whatever Xiao Yi wants.”
“Alright, then I will have the front desk enter him into our system.” And that was how Yan Shuyu’s future employer happily sold her off.
But, for the sake of everything that she had done for the institution, Liu Ci pulled her aside when he freed up and said to her, “Yuanbao had no use of the first prize, so why don’t I convert that to cash for you? We have a 20% off promotion right now, so 30 lessons come out to be 21,000 yuan. We can’t start going down this path, so I can convert this to a bonus for you after you started here as an employee. What do you say?”
20,000+ yuan! Yan Shuyu’s eyes were straight and suddenly forgot all the unpleasantness earlier. Holding Male God Liu’s hand, she said with utmost sincerity, “Boss Liu, you are such a nice guy.”
“Don’t say that,” said Liu Ci with a smile. “Just make sure you take good care of Boss Zhou’s young master in the future, okay?”
Yan Shuyu: “……”
For the sake of the money, she finally nodded. “No problem. I will take good care of him.”
She had already clearly and explicitly communicated with the boss, and he had accepted it. So her being the male lead’s instructor shouldn’t be a problem at all, right? Yan Shuyu felt much better after she had comforted herself.
Yan Shuyu did the math quickly in her head. 30 lessons came out to be 21,000 yuan after 20% off; that’s almost 800 yuan per lesson. One-third of that was close to 300 yuan. The way Boss Liu had put it, she only needed to teach one lesson a day and would already be able to make 7,000 – 8,000 yuan a month. Darn. She was going to get rich fast.
