Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 150 Preference
Early morning, No. 99 Luochuan Road.

The first and second year high school students are on full vacation, and the number of students at Utopia has increased significantly.

Currently, more than 200 students have been enrolled. The daily class hours for each student are different, but Utopia is already operating at near full capacity, especially the Chinese/Mathematics classes attended by the two top scorers, Zhai Da and Lu Wei.

From morning till night, the classes are endless! There's simply no way to finish them all! Wu Yue no longer needs to worry about sales; he's just running around with his people looking for teachers.

Now, we only dare to open up enrollment quotas if the teaching staff increases even slightly.

It also pioneered a new model that Dongyang County had never seen before: enrollment by number, with students paying money one by one according to their arrival time.

Some families who were late to the game, only a few days late, already had little hope of getting a number, and might not even be able to get one by the time school started. So some parents started looking for people to buy numbers, paying for those who were later to buy those who were earlier.
It's just that the area is small; otherwise, scalpers might have already sprung up everywhere.

In no time, in the small county of Dongyang, everyone, regardless of whether they had children or not, knew that the top scholar was teaching, and it was incredibly popular.

Today, Luochuan Road is still bustling with traffic as parents bring their children to class.

"Son, since we're seeing results, let's keep trying. Dad will try to enroll you in two more courses later!"

The son asked earnestly, "Is it still possible to enroll in math classes? I want to take Mr. Lu's class."

The man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll figure something out for you. Someone in my workplace has a number that's near the front. I'll go ask them!"

I hesitated during the first round because no one was bidding against it. Nobody knew it was organized by the top scorer, so I just signed him up for two courses.

I never expected the teaching results to be so amazing. While the scores improved, the child's concentration and self-discipline also increased. Spending a few thousand more dollars is a small matter. What's rare is finding a place where you can get results for your money.

It seems like Old Li's kid from my workplace got a pretty good number. I'll spend a little money and bring two bottles of good wine to go see him and see if we can discuss it.
Anyway, his child isn't his biological child, so I can just expose him.
In another car, a mother and daughter were talking about completely different topics.

"Girl, take this book with you and find your teacher, Mr. Zhai, and ask him to sign it for you."

The daughter picked it up with a puzzled look and asked, "The Long Road of Lü, is this the book written by the legendary Teacher Xiao Zhai? You've finished reading it? Was it good?"

The mother thought to herself, "Look, my eyes are still red. What do you think?"
I cried my heart out; I've never used so many tissues in one night!
"I'll take a look at it later. This book is really popular now, but unfortunately I don't have time because I'm studying every day."

"You should focus on your studies first; it's rare to see improvement lately."

He then changed his mind, took the book back, and planned to read it a second time.

The duration is one thing, but the aftereffects are too strong. I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to control herself and will end up like me, unable to sleep all night.

My daughter scoffed, "Fine, don't give it to me then. I'll check my blog later."

As the release date has passed, the staying power of "The Long Road to Lu" has become apparent, just as Phoenix Media had predicted.

It tricked people into shedding countless tears.

Lighthearted works may be more enjoyable to read, but only those that bring tears to your eyes are truly memorable. Online discussions about "The Long Road of Lü" have increased significantly, and enthusiasts are recommending it to everyone they meet. People have finally come to understand the meaning behind Han Han's comment.

With Xinglang controlling the backend, the blog content always gets more exposure, and the news homepage also reports on it: "Top scorer in the college entrance examination's new book is selling well, Han Han: I am not as good as him."

Those in the media ultimately cannot shake their bad habit of "inciting conflict".

Inside the classroom, during the five minutes before class started, Zhai Da had already signed books for three students.

His writing was so illegible that even he himself couldn't recognize what he had written.

Of course, this wasn't for showing off. It was Lou En who reminded him that when signing autographs for fans in the future, he should make his handwriting clearly different from normal handwriting, the more exaggerated the better, to prevent it from being misused elsewhere.

You really wouldn't understand this blind spot in your knowledge if you didn't become famous once.
Today's teaching work went smoothly as usual, and Zhai Da felt that he was becoming more and more adept at it.

Whether it's teaching classes or managing a "teaching institution".

Wait, look, that student is daydreaming.

As Zhai Da passed by a classroom, he pointed at it with a "young man's straight stick biting into a melon," which startled the little girl who was secretly reading an extracurricular book. She turned around and saw Zhai Da, but she was not frightened as usual.

Instead, his eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Zhai Da.

Zhai Da glanced at the cover; it was his book.

Hmm. You're in the wrong, so I'll let you off the hook.
Once at his seat in the office, Zhai Da skillfully pulled out a case of "Six Walnuts" from under the desk. He had ten cases of them and now drank them by the case.

The office door was pushed open, and Lin Shuyao walked in carrying a stack of documents. She nodded when she saw Zhai Da and went about her business.

During this period, manpower was scarce, and after Li Haili's screening, three new students were recruited, one of whom was Lin Shuyao.

Now that it has been approved, Zhai Da will not deliberately obstruct it because of what happened before.

Because of her good looks and temperament, she was assigned to receive visiting parents in Utopia. Of course, she also did a lot of miscellaneous tasks and was always on the go.

Zhai Da paid no attention to Lin Shuyao's presence, sipping his Six Walnuts tea, closing his eyes to think about the next lesson. He had to go to Old Xu's place that evening to learn metalworking; his days were packed, but fulfilling.

When it comes to the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, he really can't think of anyone who could have a more fulfilling summer vacation than him, unless they become parents.

Sensing someone approaching, Zhai Da opened his eyes. Lin Shuyao's small face was only a few centimeters away from him.

"Holy crap, what are you doing?"

I instinctively dodged backward and almost fell over.

Lin Shuyao quickly distanced herself: "You look like you've lost a lot of weight, your face shape has changed."

What does this have to do with you being so close?

On the other hand, what does this have to do with your chicken neck?
Lin Shuyao nervously clenched her fingers and said, "Zhai Da, can both Mom and Dad come to the seminar tonight? They both want to listen."

She genuinely wanted to talk to Zhai Da about serious matters, but she wasn't sure if he was asleep, which is why she got so close to observe him. As a result, her thoughts wandered, and she started marveling at how much he had changed.

He even seems to have grown a little taller.
Zhai Da said nonchalantly, "Come on, let's try to solve the problem all at once."

He promised all his colleagues that he would provide them with volunteer guidance and help them fill out as many applications as possible based on their scores.

Utopia was too busy before and didn't have time, but now that things have settled down, it's time to keep the promise. The time is this weekend evening, so it won't interfere with Utopia's classes or parents' work.

Of course, not all of the fifteen "classmate employees" have this need. Some of them couldn't even go to university or college. With their low scores, no matter how hard they racked their brains, it was useless. If Conan came, they would have to smoke two packs of cigarettes and then give themselves an injection to avoid seeing him.

Lin Shuyao suddenly said, "Zhai Da, thank you."

"no need thank me?"

Xie had many reasons. She joined late and did little work, but she not only received a salary, but also got a free volunteer tutoring job worth two thousand yuan.

Although her family's circumstances weren't bad, this was still not a small amount.

So these past few days she's been working like crazy, moving things around like a brick wherever she's needed. She's been handing out flyers, greeting customers, and even staying late to clean. Every day she comes home with a sore back and worn-out socks.
But when the words came out, I felt that saying so much would be pretentious.

So I simply laughed it off:
"We did something meaningful together."

Zhai Da:
Girl, that was so awkward.
"Okay. As long as it's meaningful, that's good. Why don't you do a little more? I'll rest for a while."

Lin Shuyao pursed her lips, nodded, and turned to leave.

Zhai Da continued to rest with his eyes closed. Occasionally, people would come and go in the office, but no one would disturb him when they saw him. They even walked much lighter.

As Utopia flourishes, everyone's workload is also very high.

Among them, Zhai Da was probably the one who put in the most effort; he was the backbone of everyone.

A group of students set a goal, took the lead in pioneering and guiding others forward, and achieved such great results under the guidance of another student.

At the age of greatest passion, innocence, and confusion, Zhai Da demonstrated what a "miracle" truly is.

Gradually, perhaps because he was really tired, or perhaps because it was too quiet around him, Zhai Da, who had been resting with his eyes closed, actually fell asleep.

Sensing someone approaching, Zhai Da groggily opened his eyes.

It was dusk in the office, and Lu Wei's small face was only a few centimeters away from him.

Zhai Da was taken aback, then smiled broadly: "What's wrong?"

Thank goodness I didn't move forward too much.

Lu Wei observed Zhai Da's face, then expressionlessly poked it: "A little bit of dark circles under your eyes."

Feeling the cool touch of his eye bags, Zhai Da feigned panic and said, "Oh dear, what should we do?"

Lu Wei went around behind him, placed her fair hand on Zhai Da's face, pressed her thumb against his temple, and gently scratched it with the side of her index finger.

The fourth step of eye exercises involves pressing the temples and gently rubbing the eye sockets.

"Hiss~ It feels pretty good."

Favoritism is a false concept.

It's simply a matter of love or not love.

　Good news: The swelling has gone down, and there's nothing seriously wrong, except the hives and measles haven't completely subsided.
　　The bad news: the most troublesome allergy has recurred – wheat allergy.

　　It's so frustrating! It's so hard to avoid wheat in my daily life; it feels like I can't eat most things. It's making me depressed...
