Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421 – In Modern Day 19
“Why don’t you sign up for it yourself?” I don’t really want to get involved in Miss Huang’s matters .
On the one hand, CEO Huang is both a playboy, but he also has a daughter complex . His thoughts go astray the moment he sees any man getting close to Miss Huang . Alarm bells would go off in his head and he would overreact . Considering how it’s a rather good source of income for me, I don’t want to lose my job over this . Yes, although I’ve been working overtime for quite a while, I’m still paid enough for overtime work . CEO Huang has always been generous in terms of remuneration .
On the other hand, attending a tutoring class is so troublesome . If I have the time, wouldn’t it be better to spend my time on something else?
Of course, if it’s just to scout for information, and I don’t have to spend my own money, then I can do anything I like while attending the class as long as it doesn’t affect the students around me .
Miss Bernie Huang points at the girl in black-framed glasses and says, “Her family’s company and this company are competitors, and they know each other . Regardless of whether it’s her or her staff at the tutoring center, they definitely won’t be able to sign up for it . ”
“You can…” I discover a blind spot .
Miss Huang shakes her head .
“I can’t either . ”
“The boss and part-time lecturer of this tutoring center knows me . ”
“You’re kidding?” I subconsciously ask .
Miss Huang glances at the group of hooligans who are handing out flyers and says, “She’s Uncle Ai’s granddaughter . ”
Director Ai? I laugh .
“This is friendly fire—conflicts arising between people on the same side . ”
Without waiting for Miss Huang and her “daughter” to speak, I sincerely give a suggestion:
“To be honest, why do you need someone to attend their tutoring classes?
“You can all work together .
“Everyone can establish an indirect relationship . You invest in me, and I’ll invest in you . Wouldn’t a merger be better?
“Only by becoming larger and stronger will you be able to fight against other tutoring center chains!”

With that said, I silently apologize .
Sorry, I’ve been reading more business reports recently .
“I’ll consider that . However, we have to first grasp the style and quality of their tutoring classes before we can talk about anything else,” Miss Huang replies in a business-like manner .
This is the result of an in-home upbringing… I sigh inwardly and casually say,
“Then you can find a random passerby . ”
“They aren’t trustworthy . I still have to do background checks . It’s too expensive to find a professional company . The cost is too high,” Miss Huang answers the questions that I haven’t even thought of .
She continues, “You don’t need to attend the classes often . You just need to attend four to five lessons . After that, it will be up to your own preferences . ”
Four to five lessons, which means one or two weekends . I’ll treat it as overtime… I hesitate for a moment before saying, “I’ll ask . ”
Miss Huang and the girl in black-framed glasses immediately replies, “Thank you . ”
I then walk towards the group of hooligans and stop in front of the guy whose hair and eyebrows are dyed a charred-yellow .
Dani… This definitely isn’t a proper nickname . It’s best that I don’t address him like that, lest we fight on the spot… Although I’m already an Assassin and am unparalleled, there’s no need for that… I cough lightly and say, “What are the fees like for the tutoring classes?”
The hooligan with the yellowish eyebrows looks at me with a happy expression and says, “It depends on the situation . For example, what kind of class you’ll be taking? Is it an evening class, weekend class, or classes during the daytime? All of them have different prices .
“Also, what do you primarily want to learn? Foreign languages, mathematics, Chinese, history? Or everything? And what level are you at?”
Of course, it has to be weekend classes . I usually don’t have time . I’m dead tired after work every day . I just want to have some fun… Considering how I had to receive a foreign VIP previously, I reply, “Weekend class, foreign languages, more verbal in style, adult standards . It’s best to be more business-oriented . ”

“Sure, no problem . ” The hooligan nicknamed “Dani” turns over the flyer in his hand and hands it to me . “Weekend business English classes, 8,888 yuan a semester…”
He rambles on .
“I’ll consider it . ” I take the flyer and say, “When can I sign up?”
“The registration period is currently underway . There are discounts for registering now . It only costs 6,666… The location is the address on the flyer . 9 a . m . to 5 p . m . in the morning,” Dani” introduces in detail .
“Is that so…” I look around and casually ask, “This is the first time I’ve seen people handing out flyers at night . Don’t you guys have time to rest?”
“We have to wait for the barbecue anyway, so we’re just handing out flyers while we wait . Moreover, the foot traffic is the highest here at night,” “Dani” explains indifferently .
“I see . ” I ask, “What’s your name? Do I need to mention your name when signing up?”
I would like to confirm if they get any commissions from successfully recruiting students when handing out flyers .
“No need . There’s no need . ” Dani shakes his head in a slight daze .
“You don’t get any commissions? All you do is hand out flyers?” I press in puzzlement .
Isn’t this too professional?
Besides, as a hooligan, what isn’t better than handing out flyers?
Upon hearing my words, Dani is taken aback . He smiles and says, “My main job is being a tutor at the tutoring center .
“I teach foreign languages . ”
“…” At this moment, I feel that this tutoring center is a little unreliable .
It was at this time that their barbecue was done . The other hooligans stop handing out flyers and walk towards the stall .
Dani panics .
“Sh*t!
“Wait for me . ”
As he runs to the barbecue stall, he turns around and says to me, “My surname is Da .
“Call me Teacher Da!”
The accent of the foreign language sounds quite authentic… I shake my head and return to another barbecue stall to find Miss Huang and her dormitory daughter .
“I’ll go take a look this weekend,” I say simply .
“How much is it?” the girl in black-framed glasses asks .
“They claim that there’s a discount . 6,666 . ” I don’t hide anything .
Miss Huang nods .
“Perhaps there are other small expenses . I’ll give you a total of twenty thousand . The rest will be considered your hire fee . ”
No, I don’t need that much… I originally wanted to modestly decline, but Miss Huang offered just too much .
“Okay,” I exhale .
“Add me on WeChat, I’ll transfer it to you . ” Miss Huang takes out her phone .
Just as I’m about to “Scan” her QR code, I suddenly think of a problem .
“Why don’t you transfer it to her, and then she’ll transfer it to me?”
The “she” refers to Miss Huang’s dormitory daughter .
“Huh?” Miss Huang is a little confused .
“If CEO Huang finds out that you transferred money to me privately, it would be a little troublesome…” I say after some deliberation .
When that happens, not only will I lose my job, I might even get run over by CEO Huang’s car .
“Alright . ” Miss Huang tilts her head and says to the girl in black-framed glasses, “Catie, add him and transfer 20,000 to him . ”
The girl obviously knows that Miss Bernie Huang has astonishing wealth and isn’t worried that she would default on any debts .
She takes out her phone and adds me on WeChat .
Catie Huang… The name sounds like that of a family member… I glance at the girl’s WeChat name and mutter to myself .
After collecting the money, I point to the side .
“I’ll be buying some barbecue . ”
“Shall we eat together?” Miss Huang invites .
“No, no need . ” I’m very timid .
At this moment, Catie Huang—the student in black-framed glasses, takes out two bags of snacks .
“Thank you for your help . This is a specialty of my tutoring center . ”
“What are these?” I glance at the two bags of snacks .
“Dried mushrooms . It’s not worth much . It’s made by a biology teacher under our employ . His family farms mushrooms,” Catie Huang explains .
“Alright then, thank you . ” Since it isn’t anything valuable, I accept it without qualms .
However, the black things in the snack bag gives me the nagging feeling that they’re poisonous .
