Chapter 58 Pride
Hiring a tutor is actually a bit of a presumptuous act... After all, my father said he wouldn't hire a tutor. However, the consequences of this matter may not be serious. In any case, this matter is moving in the right direction. No matter what my father thinks, this essence cannot be overturned.

It's really speechless... I want to study hard and also be rebellious. Li Xu also gradually understood why he always went against his father in his previous life.

Ha ha.

To be on the safe side, Li Xu took advantage of the time when Luo Shuangshuang went to the office to hand over her work and called his father to briefly tell him that he wanted to hire a tutor.

Just as he thought, his father was not angry about this matter, at least that was the tone. His father listened to the story patiently and only spoke slowly after he was sure that Li Xu had nothing more to say.

"I agree with this, Luo Shuangshuang, right? That girl has pretty good grades and graduated from a prestigious university, but she's a little bit proud and needs to be polished. You can learn some professional things from her, but don't use her as a role model for how to behave."

Li Xu was a little surprised. He was not only surprised that his father agreed to his request for a tutor so readily, but he was even more surprised... by his evaluation of Luo Shuangshuang.

My father is the helmsman of the entire enterprise.

Luo Shuangshuang had only been here for a few months and was still an intern. Logically, her father, in his position, should not have had any direct contact with Luo Shuangshuang. However, her father accurately pointed out her characteristics after just hearing her name, and gave him advice on how to contact Luo Shuangshuang.

"Dad, do you know Luo Shuangshuang?"

"She's an intern at my company. Is that weird?"

"Well, there's a bit of distance between her and you."

Li Yuqian was silent for a moment, then he laughed happily and said something meaningful on the phone: "There are many ways to manage. Understanding the employees at the grassroots level can avoid a lot of unnecessary information gaps. You will understand this when you start leading a team in the future."

Before Li Xu hung up the phone, Li Yuqian asked again, "Anything else?"

"Well, there's one more thing... Dad, didn't you tell me not to find a tutor before? Why did you agree now?"

"Didn't you just act first and ask for permission later?"

"It's not that serious."

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, then I'll prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."

"That's not necessary. If you're eating at home, just two or three simple dishes will be enough. Don't let Sister Zhang make too much."

Sister Zhang is one of the nannies in their family. Her main task is to buy groceries and cook, and the kitchen is under her management.

"Oh, the day you came back happened to be the weekend. My idea was to let Aunt Zhang rest for half a day, and I'll make it. You can eat whatever you want."

"Ok?"

"You may not know this, but my cooking skills are now very high, as high as several stories."

"Heh... brat."

Although it ended with this sentence, Li Xu could still feel that his father was in a good mood. This arrangement was naturally a spur-of-the-moment one, but Li Xu thought it was a good idea. He would have a weekend off at that time, and he wondered if his cousin would have a day off at that time, so he could ask her to come over for dinner.

By the way, Dad doesn’t even know how good he is at making food.

……

Luo Shuangshuang went back with Li Xu.

It can be seen that this is also Luo Shuangshuang's first time riding in such a luxury car.

This is a BMW 7 Series sedan. In his previous life, Li Xu liked to study cars. He didn't like this model very much among cars of the same price. He always felt that it was not as luxurious as Mercedes-Benz, nor as extravagant as Audi. When he was exaggerating, he could name all the configuration parameters of this car... In this life, they are all the same to him, there is no difference, it is just a means of transportation.

After Luo Shuangshuang got in the car, she looked around and quickly lost interest in the interior of the car... Perhaps she thought that the legendary million-dollar luxury car was just like this.

She turned her attention to Li Xu: "Now we can talk about being your tutor." "Yes."

"I need to get some basic information about you first, but again, don't expect too much from me. I've never been a tutor before, so I have no idea what it's like. I can't guarantee I can teach you well. If I find out I'm not up to the task, or if you're just pinning your hopes on me, then I'll also tell you what I said to our team leader today... I'll look for someone else."

"This is no problem."

"It's best if you think this way... Now, first question, you want to take math classes, right?"

"Mainly math. Of course, if you have some spare time, you could help me with other subjects, that would be great too."

"I think I understand. So what's your current math level?"

"It's probably at the level of a junior high school graduate... well, the level of a normal junior high school graduate."

Luo Shuangshuang finally revealed a surprised expression, then looked at Li Xu with a strange look, and then asked hesitantly: "Did you develop very early?"

"Uh... don't get me wrong, I'm not in junior high anymore. I'm a freshman this year, but my grades are just terrible."

"Oh, it's not what I imagined."

"Did it surprise you?"

Luo Shuangshuang nodded happily: "From the way you talk, I feel...you are a logical person."

In fact, for Luo Shuangshuang, this is already a very high evaluation.

"Your thinking is even more mature than that of the average student. So, I can infer that you are probably the type of student who is struggling with the competition and wants to break through..." She glanced at Li Xu and shook her head. "It really surprised me."

"So for you, an accident like mine should make teaching easier, right?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Shuangshuang sneered subconsciously when she heard this, but she seemed to immediately realize that this attitude was not polite. She coughed and said, "On the contrary, teaching will be more difficult for me..."

"Uh……"

"For me, a lot of this stuff is basic, and maybe you don't quite understand it yet. The problem is, I don't know what's considered advanced knowledge for you, because everything in the textbook is basic to me... So it's easy to get caught up in this situation where I tell you that B leads to C, and you ask how B came about... Forget it, let's just give it a try."

Li Xu let out a long sigh, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be so pessimistic. If you really can't learn it, it might be that my talent is really too poor. But it shouldn't be that bad... I think I still have a talent for math." He looked up at Luo Shuangshuang, "You must be the kind of girl who is very smart since childhood and continues to be smart as she grows up, right?"

"About the same." Luo Shuangshuang said this without any hint of modesty: "I have indeed never met anyone my age who is smarter than me."

"Ah."

"Do not believe?"

"My thought is, there should be some in college..."

"If I have to say, of course there are many, but I haven't met anyone I really know... You think this is a kind of arrogance, right? Actually, it's not. What I feel most on this road is... loneliness." Luo Shuangshuang said some brainless words, but her expression was unusually serious, which made Li Xu not know how to respond for a moment.

Li Xu lowered his head. "Well, you haven't formally taught me yet, so I probably don't know how smart you are. But there are very smart guys. I met one not long ago."

“Oh, you’re good at math?”

"pretty good."

"Then why don't you let that person teach you?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "He's too young... He's only in the fourth grade."
