Chapter 55: The Beginning of a New Life

Back at the Halla Hotel, after rinsing his face with cold water in the bathroom in the lobby, Zhang Muzi tiptoed back to his suite, and saw that the door of the master bedroom was ajar and the light was still on, he knew that his parents were still waiting for him, so he shouted in the living room, "Dad, Mom, I'm back." Without waiting for an answer, he hurried into his bedroom, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, when the slightly cold sunlight on the Korean Peninsula had just risen into the sky, Li Xiangzhi woke up her son, and the family of three had some breakfast in the hotel restaurant, called a car at the hotel, and rushed directly to the most famous tutoring holy place in Seoul, Munchang-dong.

'Dong' is a unique local unit on the Korean Peninsula, corresponding to the province, county, county, eup, myeon, and ri, these names are all regional names used by different dynasties in China, and were copied and mixed together by the ancient Korean and Korean people, and became their own administrative units.

Nowadays, the names of Dao, County, Yi and Mian have been abolished by the government of the Republic of China and replaced by provinces, cities, townships and towns, but the 'dong' that is the street that is most frequently used by the general public and represents the most basic administrative unit of the city, and the 'li' that represents the most basic unit of the countryside is the village, which has been retained and used to this day.

The block is named after the ancient immortal title, naturally different, a second ago, the hotel car is still on both sides of the high-rise buildings in the city surname, a turn, a carved beams and painted buildings, the eaves such as a hook, the painted wood and stone structure pavilion hangs a full two zhang square, on the book 'Wenchang Palace' three-character gilt plaque of the palace temple, it appeared on the side of the road.

Zhang Muzi, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was slightly stunned when he saw the 'same industry name', and immediately lowered the window and poked his head out.

Smelling the familiar smell of incense ash, he looked at the endless stream of people in front of the temple in front of him, and said in surprise: "This is the city, how can there be a palace temple with full incense in the downtown area, and there are so many people worshipping early on Monday morning, it's too exaggerated." ”

"Muzi, that's the temple of 'Emperor Wenchang', behind it is Wenchang Cave, the whole block is running a tutoring industry, so every day there will be candidates or parents who hope to win the championship in one fell swoop, come to this palace temple to offer incense.

After settling you down in a while, before leaving Seoul, my mother plans to come and say goodbye." Li Xiangzhi also looked at the temple outside the window and explained in a low voice.

"Don't be a mother, if you can get high grades by worshipping God, then what do you need so many 'tutoring centers' and schools for.

Don't be so superstitious in the future, okay. "Since the soul has merged with the three hundred and sixty-five 'Qingfu Righteous Gods', Zhang Muzi has completely believed in some of the advanced civilizations of the Western Galactic Federation, and has used the so-called 'fantasy species' to analyze the concept of 'gods', and he no longer has a trace of awe for the gods, so he said casually.

"Phew... Muzi, you are also opening the palace temple now, so my mother won't let you accompany me to worship, but it's not okay to be disrespectful to other gods, so apologize like 'Emperor Wenchang'." Li Xiangzhi listened to her son's words and said hurriedly.

Seeing that his mother's face really changed and her tone was stern, Zhang Muzi didn't want to make her angry, so he had to reluctantly put his hands together, closed his eyes, and skillfully bowed his head and whispered: "Mortals respect Emperor Wenchang, and they are offended by being unintentional and ignorant, and I sincerely pray for the emperor's forgiveness..."

While he was muttering a prayer, the car, which had already left the 'Wenchang Palace' behind him, slowly drove through the streets where most of the young people who had just woken up, listless, or holding books or carrying school bags, walked around, and soon stopped at a building covering an area of about 50 or 60 square meters (3 square meters);

One of the walls facing the street, all inlaid with floor-to-ceiling windows, reveals a simple and elegant dΓ©cor, in front of a ten-story building with a simple hall with a few round coffee tables on stilts with promotional materials, and a counter with two sweet-looking young girls dressed in bright sky-blue professional suits.

"Get off, Muzi, we're here. Patiently waiting for her son to confess to the gods, Li Xiangzhi pushed the car door and said.

Zhang Muzi, who got out of the car behind his mother, looked up at the 'Kaitu Supplementary Education' signboard hanging on the roof of the building, and suddenly felt that reading was already a very distant thing from him, and an inexplicable nervousness rose in his heart, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked into the tutoring center with his parents this time.

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, the two girls behind the counter immediately bowed and said, "Welcome to the 'Kaitu Tutoring Center'." ”

"Hello, I'm Li Xiangzhi, and I've made an appointment with Representative Gu Qiaona to meet today. Li Xiangzhi took a few steps forward and said politely.

Hearing that the customer had made an appointment with the boss, the front desk greeter looked down at the transaction records, and immediately smiled brightly and saluted: "Ah, Ms. Li, please come with me." He guided Zhang Muzi and his family to take the elevator to the sixth floor, passed several offices full of teachers who were preparing for class along the corridor, and came to the door of a room with a nameplate written 'Representative Council Office' at the very end.

In Yuantai Island, it is customary for the operators of the tutoring industry to refer to themselves as principals or directors to show that their careers are different from ordinary businesses, not to make money but to 'educate people';

However, in the Korean Peninsula, because of the extremely high social status of true educators, the owners of the supplementary education centers consciously did not dare to call themselves the principals, but used the titles of president, president, representative director, and chairman of the board of directors according to the different shareholding structures, just like the managers of ordinary companies.

According to Zhang Muzi's conjecture, Gu Qiaona, who can open a 'tutoring center' with a considerable scale in the name of 'representative director' in Hancheng District, the 'land capital' of the Republic of China, or is an industrialist with a temperament, dressed almost the same as his mother, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside;

Or a very strict, capable strong woman.

Unexpectedly, after entering the 'representative council's room', what he saw was a bloated figure, wearing simple clothes like a family woman, wearing a pair of square tortoiseshell glasses on a round face, sitting in a narrow office with only four pings, surrounded by a bunch of essays and lesson plans, and a 'aunt' with four ink pen characters written on the back.

The reality that was too different from the imagination made Zhang Muzi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but his mother's greeting voice sounded in his ears, "Jona, I haven't seen you for a long time, every time I see you, you are busy working energetically, it's really enviable, no wonder your career will become more and more successful, and now the whole building is 'swallowed'." ”

"That's not as good as your and Hermes-Epitek's business, I heard that your fourth 'tutoring center' is about to open. Gu Qiaona stood up from the chair and said politely, and after shaking hands with Li Xiangzhi and Zhang Hanmin respectively, she pointed to Zhang Muzi who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Xiangzhi, this is your son, at first glance, he is a very blessed young man." ”

"This kid is really very blessed," Hearing this, Li Xiangzhi thought of the billions of trillions that his son had just inherited, nodded unconsciously, and then said: "It's just that I am spoiled, I haven't worked a day since I was a child, I don't read books seriously, I am fascinated by collecting monster models all day long, and now it is the most critical time for the third year of high school, and I am still messing around."

It's really embarrassing to say, his father and I are also a little famous in the 'tutoring industry' in Yuanbei City, but we can't even manage our own son, so we can only send it to you from afar, hoping to force him to sprint at the end, even if the joint entrance examination is on the list of an ordinary public university, we will be satisfied. ”

It is most difficult for parents to be concerned, because they don't want their son to be looked at in a different light, so Li Xiangzhi hid the reason why Zhang Muzi ran to 'Han Chao' to study because he was evading the interrogation of the 'Yuantai' police, but made up a flawed reason.

Fortunately, Gu Qiaona has been running the tutoring industry for twenty or thirty years, and has accepted tens of thousands of students, and the teenagers who were sent by their parents for any strange reason have seen it, so they did not suspect it, but comforted Li Xiangzhi in a tone, and said with a little pride: "Running a business is running a business, being a parent is being a parent, how can the two things be mixed together."

I know a lot of very famous school class tutors and grade directors who can't teach their own children, in fact, if I hadn't seen this situation a lot, and I have been strict with the four children in the family since I was a child, they would not all be admitted to such a good university. ”

"yes, I really regret not educating my children as well as you did. Although she didn't agree with Gu Qiaona's impersonal education method for her children, because Zhang Muzi was about to stay at her house, Li Xiangzhi could only agree insincerely.

"Xiangzhi, your son is only nineteen years old, and it's not too late to educate him well," Gu Qiaona said with a smile: "I have already placed him in the strongest teacher class in the high school of our 'supplementary education center', as long as Cheng DΓΉ is not too bad, there should be no problem in being admitted to a public university." ”

"That's great, Jona, haven't you always planned to open a branch of 'Kaitu Supplementary Education' in 'Yuantai', as long as Muzi can be admitted to a public university, I will fully support this plan. Li Xiangzhi said solemnly.

The Republic of China's 'supplementary education industry' has been thriving so far, and it seems that the number of customers is increasing year by year, but in fact, the 'cake' of the market has already been distributed, and it is not only its own strength that is needed to expand the business from the Korean Peninsula to the 'round platform', so hearing this unexpected promise, Gu Qiaona's eyes lit up, half a joke;

Half-seriously: "Xiangzhi, it seems that you really dote on your son, and for the sake of his studies, you even tempted me to contribute with your 'career'." ”

In fact, if Zhang Muzi had not inherited Shenluo Island, Li Xiangzhi would never have made such a generous promise, but now she was surprised by Gu Qiaona, and she just smiled wordlessly.
