"Did the boss work as an assistant for Ding Lan?" Qin Chen understood the inside story by looking at my face, and I nodded with a wry smile.
After picking up the materials, he asked me hesitantly: "Are you short of money?"
"Well, I need money at home, and I can't be an assistant. I have to go outside and see what kind of part-time job I can do." I didn't lie to him. The debt I paid was used at home. My mother's illness caused these two problems.
The year has basically been brought under control. Although I rarely go back, I often call to say hello. From the phone, I can tell that my mother is quite peaceful now.
"Brother, I won't tell you anymore. You go inside and talk to the boss. I'll leave first." I don't have a class today, so I took advantage of the fact that it was still early so I might as well go to the job market. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen grabbed my arm.
He said, "Don't leave yet. Wait for me outside. I'll be out soon." After saying that, he quickly walked into the instructor's office.
I thought Qin Chen still had something to do, so I waited outside the door. Ten minutes later, he came out. "Let's go." He took the lead and walked in front. I quickly followed behind and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Don't you want to work part-time? I know there is a place that wants to hire someone, and it's at night, so the time is suitable."
Hearing this, I immediately felt happy. I didn't expect that my senior brother would help me. Without any pretense, I followed Qin Chen to the bus stop near the school to wait. On the way, I asked him what his job was, and he just smiled and said
You'll know when you arrive. The bus is very crowded, and Qin Chen circles me in front of me, forming a protective barrier. There will inevitably be physical contact, and his refreshing breath is in my nose.
I try to move forward as much as possible. Although I know that my senior brother and I, including my senior brother, are not involved in any kind of male-female affair, I still need to avoid suspicion. In those two years, my senior brother was the only person who did not alienate me. He still looked after me as if he were my junior sister.
Now, Xu Ziyang occasionally mentioned something like this, saying that my senior brother is pretty good to me.
At that time, I just thought his words were jealous, and I felt happy in my heart. Stop, why am I thinking about him again? Even if I don’t want to admit it, Xu Ziyang broke into my world again and then left again, which had a huge impact on my life.
It still had an impact. Just like those sweet memories that I thought were sweet memories would break out of their cocoons, and then scratch my heart again, causing pain.
This also strengthened my determination to draw a line with him. Only when my love and debt are cleared can I act upright and sit upright.
Qin Chen and I got off the car after a few stops, then entered a certain building and went upstairs. From the sign at the bottom of the building, I roughly knew what job he introduced me to. When we arrived at the floor, it was exactly what I expected.
Information. He introduced the job of a cram school teacher, teaching elementary school courses. Although I don’t have a teacher certificate, I am still competent in terms of ability.
Because the cram school is a private institution, it is equivalent to a tutoring class. It only teaches publicly to multiple students at the same time, so it does not have too many requirements for the teacher's qualifications. But from Qin Chen's conversation with the other party, I learned that originally this
The position is his, and the head of the institution also likes him to take over the class because he has teaching experience.
It turns out that Qin Chen has been teaching part-time at this institution for the past two years. It coincides with another semester. The institution has admitted many students and is starting classes again, so this opportunity was given to me. When I came out of it, I stopped.
Qin Chen's sleeve said, "Senior brother, this is you..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by him with a smile: "It's okay, I came here to teach in the evening just to kill time and gain some practical experience.
Aren’t you short of money now? The salary here is pretty good, and it’s calculated based on class hours.”
Seeing that I wanted to say something more, he deliberately made a face and said: "Yu Qian, if you want to refuse again, you won't treat me as your senior brother."
So, I had no choice but to hold back what I wanted to say with gratitude.
After coming downstairs, Qin Chen proposed to go to dinner, and I naturally agreed. After considering the money I had with me, I planned to find a good restaurant to treat him to dinner as a thank you gift. This time Qin Chen did not refuse, but was in high spirits.
They say there is a new Italian restaurant, you might as well try it.
When we arrived together, it was almost 11 o'clock. We took a look inside and found that although it was newly opened, the business was good. Most of the places were already full, and probably because of the environment and style inside, most of them were wearing clothes.
