Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 22

In comparison, the 8000 yuan of the national scholarship will be much higher, but even if Ning Chen can win the award, it will be half a year later.

"It's time to make some money." Ning Chen thought.

According to national law, after the child reaches the age of 18, the parents have no obligation to raise their children.

What's more, Ning Chen's real age has already exceeded 18 years old, Ning Chen feels that he still has many ways to make money.

But for now, the way Ning Chen chooses to make money from the beginning must meet the following conditions:
It will not require too much capital, cannot have too long a profit-making cycle, cannot occupy too much of your time and energy, and try not to be risky.

Real estate speculation is the easiest way to make money. According to Ning Chen's memory, houses in Shengzhou are relatively cheap now, and house prices will start to skyrocket in a few years.

It's just that at this time, Ning Chen couldn't come up with any money at all, and real estate speculation would not make money in the short term, so Ning Chen rejected this idea first.

Of course, when Ning Chen has some money in hand, he will definitely buy a house as soon as possible.

As for starting a business, Ning Chen will not consider it for the time being. On the one hand, Ning Chen is not ready yet. On the other hand, Ning Chen needs to spend a lot of energy to start a business. Now Ning Chen obviously cannot spare so much energy.

As for part-time jobs such as work-study programs and handing out leaflets, Ning Chen naturally looked down on them because the price/performance ratio was too low.

"Why don't you... get back to your old job first?"

Soon, Ning Chen also thought of a job he had done in his previous life - tutoring teacher.

In this regard, Ning Chen has sufficient ability and experience, and the hourly salary of tutors is very high, usually more than one hundred per hour.

Of course, Ning Chen can also directly skip the education and training institutions and choose to be a private teacher. Not only will this be more free, but there will be no middlemen to make money.

"It just so happens that Shengzhou University has a tutoring center, so go there and fill out your resume."

The Tutoring Center of Shengzhou University is a non-profit organization that provides part-time jobs for Shengzhou University students and does not charge any agency fees.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen came to the tutoring center, picked up a blank resume and filled it out.

Ning Chen's tutoring subject was high school mathematics. In terms of class fees, Ning Chen directly paid 200 yuan per hour, which was a very high price for the tutoring market back then.

In this era, prices are not so high. Some college tutors only charge tens of yuan per hour, and those who can receive more than 100 yuan are considered relatively high.

However, Ning Chen felt that with his own ability, it was worth the price.

Because Shengzhou University is the best university in Shengzhou, tutors for college students from Shengzhou University are very popular in Shengzhou.

The day after Ning Chen submitted his resume, some parents contacted Ning Chen, hoping that Ning Chen could go over and try to speak.

The student was a freshman boy named Xu Yang, who lives near Shengzhou University.After the two parties made an appointment, Ning Chen went to the community where the students were.

The environment of the community is very good, and the location is also good. The current house price has exceeded [-], and later it skyrocketed to [-].

People who can live in this community must have very good home conditions.

According to the information provided by the parents, Ning Chen came to the room number and rang the doorbell.

The woman who opened the door was Xu Yang's mother, Zhou Li, who looked only in her 30s. Of course, her actual age was already in her early [-]s. Because she was well maintained, she looked younger.

"Hello, is this Teacher Ning?"

"Hi, Xu Yang's mother, I'm Teacher Ning."

In terms of address, Ning Chen deliberately used the title "Xu Yang's mother", which would be more appropriate.

Ning Chen herself is not a few years older than the child, so calling the parents "sister" is not appropriate, and calling her "auntie" is not suitable for her teacher status.

"Teacher Ning, please come in." After pouring a glass of water for Ning Chen, Zhou Li started chatting with Ning Chen.

"Mr. Ning, according to your resume, you are No.1 in your major?"

"Yes, Mama Xu Yang, you can rest assured that our information has been verified by the tutoring center. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, I also took care of some students, and I still have some teaching experience."

Ning Chen specifically emphasized the point of experience, because Ning Chen knew that parents might worry that it was her first time as a tutor and she had no teaching experience.

Zhou Li also did not doubt Ning Chen's grades. Zhou Li went to Shengzhou University Tutoring Center on purpose, hoping to find a college student with excellent grades.

Even if Ning Chen's asking price is a bit high, Zhou Li is willing to let Ning Chen come over and have a try.

"Let me briefly tell you about the situation in our Yangyang family. When Yangyang was in junior high school, his math scores were pretty good, and he got a perfect score in the senior high school entrance examination. But after entering high school, his math scores suddenly dropped, and he has been in the eighth grade. Around ninety..."

While listening to Zhou Li's narration, Ning Chen made a rough analysis of Xu Yang's situation.

"We have also tried to make up lessons in cram schools before, but the effect has not been very good. Now we want to find a tutor to try. I think you are all about the same age, and you should get along better with each other."

"Okay, Xu Yang's mother, I basically understand the basic situation of the child."

"Well, Teacher Ning, then you can start."

Zhou Li led Ning Chen to the child's room and closed the door.

Zhou Li's first impression of Ning Chen was good. At first, Zhou Li thought that a science and engineering student like Ning Chen might be difficult to communicate with, but after meeting, she found that Ning Chen was quite talkative.

In fact, Ning Chen is not an outgoing person, but after working hard in society for so many years in the previous life, Ning Chen insisted on honing his communication skills.

It's just that outside of work, Ning Chen will still take off his mask and enjoy the time of rest quietly.

"Hello teacher."

Seeing Ning Chen coming in, Xu Yang greeted Ning Chen in a low voice.

Xu Yang seems to be a relatively shy boy. This kind of students often don't like to communicate with strangers. However, in the previous life, Ning Chen had come into contact with many students of this type and knew how to get along with them.

Ning Chen didn't hurry to start the lecture, but first chatted with Xu Yang about some extracurricular topics.

"Teacher, you also like basketball?"

Ning Chen quickly found a common topic with Xu Yang, which quickly brought Ning Chen closer to Xu Yang.

After chatting about things outside of class for a few minutes, Ning Chen got down to business.

"Show me your previous exam papers, the more the better."

"okay."

Looking through the wrong questions on Xu Yang's paper, Ning Chen further understood Xu Yang's problem.

Xu Yang can still get the basic questions right, but as long as there are slight changes in the questions, it will be difficult for Xu Yang to get a complete score.

Ning Chen casually pointed out a wrong question and asked Xu Yang to explain it to him, but Xu Yang obviously forgot how to do this question, and shook his head awkwardly and smiled.

Ning Chen did not criticize Xu Yang, but took out the draft paper and explained it to Xu Yang.

Ning Chen did not simply do this question, but started with the knowledge points investigated by this question, and analyzed the whole question in depth, which made Xu Yang feel suddenly enlightened.
