Xu Yiyang ran around the provincial capital for an afternoon.

I went to several schools and met more than a dozen foreign teachers, but no one was willing to come to his training class.

The reason for rejection is the same, I don't want to take up too much of the break.

Seeing that it was dark and there was no harvest, Xu Yiyang decided to stay in Quancheng for one night first, and then change his path tomorrow and try to find international students.

Xu Yiyang remembered that there was a pedestrian street nearby, which was very lively at night, with small bars, black Internet cafes, and small hotels.

So he decided to try his luck there.

Xu Yiyang found a small bar called Texas on the pedestrian street, which felt a bit American-style, and after stepping in, he found that there were really a few foreigners in it.

At that table, there were three young couples, men and women holding each other, each holding a cigarette and a bottle of beer, and chatting a little unscrupulously.

Xu Yiyang wanted to go up and talk to them, but he felt that these six people didn't look like the kind of people who obeyed the rules, and it didn't seem appropriate to teach primary and secondary school students.

At this moment, on the small stage in the bar, a blonde young man holding an acoustic guitar walked up.

After he sat down on a small round stool, he held his guitar and played a soft strum.

Then, the blonde young man whistled melodiously into the microphone, and Xu Yiyang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this song.

This song is "Patience" by Guns N' and Roses, a song that I like very much.

This young man's voice is very good, and he plays the guitar very well, so Xu Yiyang can't help but hum softly.

The blonde young man sang four songs in a row, Xu Yiyang listened carefully, and at the same time carefully observed this young man, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was the most suitable person.

First of all, this kid is American pronunciation, it should be American, and the spoken language must be fine;

Secondly, he was dressed very ordinary, his denim jacket and jeans were washed white, and his shoes were very old, so it could be seen that he should be a little financially constrained and easier to dig;

In the end, this guy plays the guitar well and sings well, and if he were to be a teacher, occasionally bring a guitar, and teach the students to sing two English songs on the spot, the students would definitely like it.

That's what edutainment is all about!

When the blonde young man finished singing the last song and walked down from the stage, Xu Yiyang immediately stepped forward and greeted him in English: "Hey man, you sing very well!"

The blonde young man looked at Xu Yiyang in surprise, smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Xu Yiyang said: "I want to talk to you about business, I don't know if you are interested?"

The other party asked suspiciously, "What business?"

Xu Yiyang first introduced himself and said, "My name is Xu Yiyang, you can call me Xu." ”

"My name is Billy Stone, you can call me Billy. ”

Xu Yiyang nodded, shook his hand, and said, "Hello Billy, take the liberty of asking, are you an international student?"

"Yes. Billy said: "I am an international student at the graduate school of Qilu Normal University, studying Chinese. ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and asked, "Then you must be very good at Chinese, right?"

"It's okay. Billy Stone immediately switched to fluent Mandarin and said, "I've been in China for three years, but I've been studying Chinese for six years." ”

Xu Yiyang exclaimed: "Your Chinese is very good!"

Billy Stone laughs and says, "Your English is just as good." ”

"Thank you. Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "Billy, I have a training institution and want to recruit a foreign teacher to teach oral English to primary and secondary school students, I don't know if you are interested." ”

Billy Stone was surprised and said, "Teach spoken English? I haven't taught ......."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you haven't taught it, just say it well, I have mature courseware here, you can just follow my courseware, don't you know how to play the guitar, occasionally you can take the guitar to show students the playing and singing of English songs, and increase students' interest in learning English." ”

Billy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where's the class?"

Xu Yiyang said: "In Yingzhou, it takes about three hours to take a car one way, can you?"

Billy said, "That's not a problem, can you tell us about the salary?"

Xu Yiyang said: "Every Wednesday to Sunday, I will give you 150 yuan for each class, weekly salary, transportation and accommodation expenses. ”

"Fifteen per class?" Billy said with unconcealed joy, "I'm about to graduate, and now there is basically nothing to do in school, any time is fine, how many classes can I take in a week?"

Xu Yiyang said: "At present, it is a maximum of 11 classes a week. ”

He now has 22 classes, and if Billy comes over, he'll give him half of the classes.

That is to say, in the future, students will take eight classes in each period of Jiayang Education, four classes will be taught by themselves, and four classes will be taught by Billy.

In this way, each student has the opportunity to have access to foreign teachers, and they can also save half the time.

The time saved can be used for revision, or you can hold a few more classes as appropriate.

Billy didn't hesitate to agree, saying, "No problem!

Xu Yiyang asked him: "Then when do you want to go to work?"

Billy said, "I'm going to a debate tournament at school this Wednesday, is it okay to go over Thursday?"

"OK!" Xu Yiyang asked the waiter for a pen and paper, wrote down his mobile phone number, and then handed it to him, saying, "You call me at the Yingzhou bus station on Thursday, and I will pick you up." ”

"Good!"

Finding Billy Stone made Xu Yiyang feel relieved.

There is a person who shares the workload with him, and he suddenly feels a lot easier.

Moreover, he believes that once Billy arrives in Yingzhou and Jiayang Education, he will definitely cause a sensation in Yingzhou.

Even if that Ma Mingming's resume is real? Billy, a typical American face, is definitely more authoritative than Ma Mingming.

......

Because he had a good conversation with Billy Stone, Xu Yiyang drank a few bottles of beer with him, and slept comfortably in the hotel until 9 o'clock in the morning before getting up the next morning.

After waking up, he washed up and checked out of the room and headed to the bus station.

At the same time, the train from Zhonghai to Yanjing, from eight o'clock last night, has been rumbling until now, and finally entered the Quancheng Railway Station.

The train came to a standstill, and a six-member team from China Overseas to Yingzhou got off one of the sleeper cars.

The leader of the team is the oldest Hu Bingwen.

In addition to him, there is Li Yunhui, the director of the Academic Affairs Office of China Overseas Studies, as well as two staff members of the Academic Affairs Office and two security guards.

As soon as Hu Bingwen got off the train, he immediately stretched his limbs on the platform, and the train of more than ten hours was indeed a little tired for him.

Li Yunhui, who was beside him, asked Hu Bingwen while moving his muscles and bones: "Old Hu, have you been to Qilu before?"

"I've been here. Hu Bingwen nodded and said, "I have a brother who is from Quancheng, and I came to see him once with my wife in 97." ”

Li Yunhui smiled: "Then do you still go to see him this time?"

Hu Bingwen said: "Let's finish the business first, if you have time, go to his house to sit down, and if it's too late, you'll talk about it later." ”

Among the two security guards who came this time, one was the deputy captain of the security team, a veteran, named Zhang Hao, and a young man named Xu Daqiang.

Xu Daqiang was the only Yingzhou person in the security team, so Zhang Hao brought him over.

Zhang Hao looked at the time and interjected: "Leaders, let's hurry up and get out of the station, Daqiang said that the long-distance bus station in Quancheng is next to the train station, and we have to buy the earliest bus to Yingzhou." ”

Hu Bingwen nodded and said, "Then let's go quickly!"

......

At this moment, Xu Yiyang was already sitting in the waiting hall of the long-distance bus station.

The Quancheng long-distance bus station is not big, and the structure is very simple, just a ticket hall and a waiting hall.

There are more than a dozen ticket gates in the waiting hall, and outside each gate is a bus parking space.

Xu Yiyang didn't catch the car at ten o'clock, so he bought a ticket for eleven o'clock.

Nearly an hour later, he arrived at the designated ticket gate and waited.

Because he has developed the habit of cherishing time, after Xu Yiyang sat down, he turned on his Walkman to listen to songs, opened his laptop, put it on his lap, and continued to make his own courseware PPT.

With the first batch of old students have started classes, Xu Yiyang's courseware has always needed to be constantly updated, and the courseware of the ninth lesson was completed last week, and before the class this week, the courseware of the tenth lesson should be made.

Hu Bingwen and his entourage also bought tickets at eleven o'clock, because there was still nearly an hour, and after everyone came in, they found an empty seat to rest.

This is, Hu Bingwen suddenly found that the young man sitting diagonally opposite him was holding an IBM notebook, concentrating on something.

Seeing that this young man seemed to be very proficient in computer operation, he would quickly type on the keyboard, and then skillfully operate on the little red dot and trackpad, which made Hu Bingwen feel very surprised.

Laptops are an absolute rarity in this era, and even few professors in China and Overseas can afford to buy laptops, and even if they can, they are reluctant to buy them.

Moreover, when he looked at Xu Yiyang, he estimated that Xu Yiyang was about 18 years old, which made him even more strange.

How rich does this have to be to buy such an expensive thing for a child?

What made him feel even more incredible was that when this young man was typing, he didn't look down at the keyboard at all, and his proficiency was even better than that of the young teachers in China and Overseas.

Now everyone uses the computer, they are staring at the keyboard, poking their fingers one by one, and the typing efficiency is extremely slow, and he has never seen anyone so proficient.

Therefore, he was even more curious about what this young man was doing so intently at the computer.

Driven by curiosity, he stood up and paced behind Xu Yiyang, instantly shocked by the content on the computer screen!

This kid is actually doing PowerPoint!

Hu Bingwen led a team to overseas universities last year, and was surprised to find that Western professors had already used this software to teach in the classroom.

It was only after his own experience that he realized how amazing this kind of software is for teaching, concise, efficient, and self-explanatory.

After returning, he suggested to the school to organize teachers to study, and at the same time bought a computer of his own and studied at home for a winter vacation, but he still did not know much about it.

Therefore, he can't understand why a young man is so proficient in operating this software.
