Chapter 43: Temptation
It's getting late, let's vote now, besides I have to accompany the kids to school tomorrow and there will be only two updates today...
When Liu Yifei returned the physics book to He Yuexin, Li Ya immediately snatched it away and said with a smile: "I'll check it first to see if there's any gift inside."
He Yuanyan was slightly flustered, and she really feared that Liu Yifei had slipped something inside, which would make Li Ya find it, and that would be somewhat embarrassing. However, looking at Liu Yifei's sincere gaze, she also gave up the idea of snatching back the book, as that seemed to have a hint of being overly defensive, and instead appeared as if she had a guilty conscience.
"Thank you, I've finished reading this one. Do you have any other books for first year high school students? Preferably the second semester physics textbook." Liu Yifei sat at the desk in front of He Yuexuan, looking at her with his body tilted to one side.
"You're not really going to start over from freshman year, are you?" He Yuer suddenly felt that Liu Yifei was not joking and had no other purpose, and his tone also became serious.
"Well, no choice, pulled too much, if don't start over, can't understand the lesson at all." Liu Yifei also spoke the truth.
"How did you get such a good score in English?" He Yuyan looked at Liu Yifei with suspicion, this was a question she had been wondering about all along. The full score of 100 in the mid-term exam made her still have some luck, and her usual English score was around 95 points.
"English... I've already started learning, so it's not too difficult now. It just takes some time for other things." Liu Yifei replied vaguely.
He Muyan didn't want to let Liu Yifei off so easily, her mouth curled up slightly as she said: "Are you guarding against me? Afraid that I'll learn your study methods and surpass you?"
"Surpass me?" Liu Yifei laughed, laughing very happily, said: "I am now the first in the whole school to be reversed, do you still need to surpass me?"
He Yu Yan burst out laughing and said, "That's also true, so what are you still keeping secret? Can't you just tell me and share it with me? At worst, I'll buy your high school books for you, that should be okay, right?"
He Yu Yan's smile was truly captivating, and it was directed at Liu Yi Fei, causing him to lose his composure for a moment. However, he was no longer the young Liu Yi Fei of years past. At this time, he chuckled and said: "Alright then, let's consider it settled. But you have to set aside half an hour every day to study English with me. It's best if we can find a relatively quiet place. Can you accept that?"
"Really!" He Yuanyan agreed without thinking, but immediately looked at Liu Yifei with suspicion and asked: "What kind of place is a quiet place...place?"
"Isn't it? It's a place where idle people are not allowed, isn't it a place suitable for romantic talk?" Li Ya chimed in with a sly smile on her face.
He Yuanyan's face suddenly turned red, and her expression also became cold. She looked at Liu Yifei with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Liu Yifei chuckled and said, "Li Ya's thoughts are not pure at all! The best way to learn English, apart from memorizing vocabulary and sentence patterns, is to reinforce it with speaking. If you speak well, the sentence patterns will naturally stick in your memory without any deviation. What I mean is that He Yuexuan should set aside half an hour every day to practice speaking with me. It's not feasible in the classroom, so let's do it in the small woods next to the school. Li Ya, you're welcome to join us too, as long as you're interested!"
"You bastard, who are you saying is impure?" Li Ya, this spicy little pepper, waved her fist at Liu Yifei, looking like she was about to blow up.
Liu Yifei pretended to be afraid and dodged back, laughing: "Well, suit yourselves, that's how I learned. If you need me, I can help; if not, I'd rather save some time and read a book."
"Is your English speaking good?" He Yuanyan also recovered from the embarrassment at this time, looking at Liu Yifei with some confusion.
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "It's not very good, but ordinary conversations are still okay."
He Yuanyan's eyes lit up and she said, "Then can you say a couple of sentences for me to hear?"
Liu Yifei met He Yuexuan's gaze, then slowly shook his head and said: "If you're suspicious, that's fine. Do you want me to recite two sentences of text for you now? Oh, thanks for the physics book." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to his own seat.
He Yuexian and Li Ya were taken aback, in front of He Yuexian, which boy was not eager to show off, but He Yuexian rarely gave the other party a chance to perform, and today He Yuexian gave Liu Yifei an opportunity, Liu Yifei actually walked away directly, even with some disdain, this made He Yuexian and Li Ya both feel unacceptable in their hearts.
"What's the big deal, isn't it just because I'm good at English? The college entrance exam isn't just testing one subject of English, even if I didn't study English, I'd still score higher than you." Li Ya pouted and turned her head to glare at Liu Yifei.
He Muyan never thought of practicing oral English when she was studying for the college entrance exam, and all she did was listen to recordings. In her time, English education was still at the stage where teachers taught and students memorized, and oral conversations were limited to reciting texts from textbooks.
But He Yuanyan now feels that Liu Yifei's words seem to make some sense, and her heart can't help but be moved. If it's really like Liu Yifei said, improving English scores would be an extremely tempting thing for herself.
Liu Yifei was sitting in his seat, but he was surging with emotions. When talking to He Yuexuan and the others, he suddenly thought of an industry that had not yet developed - the education industry. In '94, English schools were still a new thing, and it seemed like there wasn't even one in Hexi City. If they opened an English school at this time, wouldn't their future be bright?
Liu Yifei still remembers that when he was in his second or third year of university, he heard from a cousin of his uncle's family that he had joined an English class, with an annual tuition fee of over 6,000 yuan, and even queuing up to get in, which shows how hot the education industry was at that time and how impressive the profits were.
Later, the education industry developed rapidly, and various tutoring classes also emerged like mushrooms after a spring rain. However, due to competition, the profits at that time were not high. If one had acted earlier, it would have been a very large cake.
Liu Yifei got more and more excited, many successful experiences of later generations were floating in his mind, almost bursting his head, he quickly took out paper and pen to write down all the things he thought of.
This seems to be the first business plan written by Liu Yifei after her rebirth...
