Chapter 134: It’s All Greek To Me

Tang Xiu said with a serious tone, “You said yourself that the client is a Deity. I just want you to arrange things as I’ve said. If my apprentice really cannot follow your fast curriculum teaching, then we’ll work out a new teaching plan later. And as I’ve said to you, let’s discuss the price.”

Li Liping hesitated. She could feel that Tang Xiu was serious, but she could not figure out as to why this young man in front of her would be so confident.

But, it’s not right! What did he just say? An apprentice?!

Could it be that the child that needed the tutors, was this young man’s apprentice?

What a strange weirdo!

Some criticism sparked unknowingly inside Li Liping’s heart, but she nodded and said, “I understand your meaning. Please wait for a while, and I’ll immediately discuss your request with our teachers. Wait for us to work out a good teaching plan, and then I will take it to you to look at!”

With a sinking tone, Tang Xiu replied back, “I want your best teachers. If any of you only masquerade as having an ability, it will ruin the reputation of your New Idea cram school!”

“You…”

Having heard Tang Xiu’s words, Li Liping almost thought that Tang Xiu intentionally wanted to make trouble. She took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry. Our teachers have outstanding qualifications, and I’ll pick the best ones for you.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked inside!

Tang Xiu’s eyes watched her back from behind as he saw the reception lady serve him a hot tea. He nodded and took out his cell phone and dialed Kang Xia’s number.

“Boss, any instructions?”

Kang Xia’s voice came out of the phone along with a lot of messy sounds. Obviously, Kang Xia was now at a very noisy place.

Tang Xiu said, “I have something to talk to you, where are you now?”

Kang Xia said, “I’m at the Job Fair, Boss! The company we’re setting up needs a large number of employees and I’m recruiting now. I only brought 3 people from Beijing, and it’s far from enough. Ah, right. Tell me where you are, I’ll pick you up myself.”

Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said, “It’s alright! I’m taking care of minor things now. I’ll finish this and then look for you afterward. By the way, you do your things in the Job Fair. Ah, yes. Text me the address later.”

“OK!”

Kang Xia answered with a smile.

Half an hour later.

Li Liping with three middle-aged men and women came in front of Tang Xiu, and then handed over a set of their teaching plan to Tang Xiu, saying, “This is the teaching plan we’ve developed according to your request. But we need to explain in advance that your request is very tight and the time is too short. Daily courses have very wide contents so I hope you have yourself mentally prepared.”

Tang Xiu read it as he nodded and said, “Teaching is not something I’m good at, so I’ll accept your plan first like this! We’ll look at the conditions later and make some adjustments again. Then, what is the cost I have to pay for you now first?!”

“This…”

Li Liping hesitated.

Such a rare and wonderful client like him was a first for her. His requests were also far beyond their ordinary teaching content and were much more different. For a moment, she was truly speechless and did not know what price she had to quote.

Tang Xiu said with a puzzlement, “How is it? Haven’t you just discussed the service cost? Aren’t you the boss here? Can’t you decide how much I have to pay?”

Li Liping let out a wry smile and said, “Mr. Tang, your request is way one of a kind. So for now, I cannot tell you how much we should charge you for the service cost. If it’s OK with you, let’s arrange it this way; we’ll start classes tomorrow, then we’ll tell you the cost by the end of tomorrow’s classes!”

Tang Xiu said, “Well, it’s your call.”

Li Liping promptly replied, “However, can you pay part of the deposit first? By the end of tomorrow’s courses, we’ll quote our price. If you feel satisfied with it, then we’ll sign the contract. If you’re not, then tomorrow‘s courses will be free of charge and we’ll return the money back to you without a single dime subtracted.”

“How much?” Asked Tang Xiu.

Li Liping was silent for a moment and then said, “5,000 yuan, how about it?”

Tang Xiu nodded and took out his wallet and prepared to take his bank credit card out. But he suddenly found that the cash should be enough. So he pulled out all the cash out and counted them, and it happened that it was exactly 5,000 yuan.

“Please take it.”

Li Liping received 5,000 yuans in cash. She watched Tang Xiu count the money before, so she did not re-count it in front of him, and instead said with a smile, “Mr. Tang, please wait a bit. I’ll let someone from the Finance Department give you a receipt.”

Tang Xiu waved and said, “No need for the receipt. In addition, we don’t need to sign any contract since I think that it’s not necessary. You give the education service while I do this for the child. So, we should maintain the most basic trust between us. Tell me the price for the service tomorrow and I’ll transfer the money to you directly. Later on, you send the teachers to teach the child there every day.”
