Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

In comparison, the national scholarship of 8,000 yuan would be much higher, but even if Ning Chen could get the award, it would only be half a year later.

"It's time to make some money." Ning Chen thought.

According to national laws, parents have no obligation to raise their children after their children reach the age of 18.

What's more, Ning Chen's real age is already over 18 years old. Ning Chen feels that he still has many ways to make money.

But for now, the way Ning Chen chooses to make money from the beginning must meet the following conditions:

It doesn’t require too much capital, it shouldn’t have a long money-making cycle, it shouldn’t occupy too much of your time and energy, and it should try not to take risks.

Real estate speculation is the easiest way to make money. According to Ning Chen's memory, houses in Shengzhou are relatively cheap now, and house prices will start to skyrocket in a few years.

It's just that at this time, Ning Chen couldn't come up with any money at all, and he couldn't make money from real estate speculation in the short term. This idea was rejected by Ning Chen at first.

Of course, when Ning Chen has some money, he will definitely buy a house as soon as possible.

As for starting a business, Ning Chen will not consider it for the time being. On the one hand, Ning Chen is not ready yet. On the other hand, Ning Chen needs to spend a lot of energy to start a business. Ning Chen obviously cannot spare so much energy now.

As for part-time jobs such as work-study programs and handing out flyers, Ning Chen naturally looked down on them because the price/performance ratio was too low.

"Why don't you... pick up your old business first?"

Soon, Ning Chen thought of a profession he had had in his previous life - a tutor.

In this regard, Ning Chen has enough ability and experience, and the hourly salary of tutors is very high, usually more than 100 an hour.

Of course, Ning Chen could also directly skip the education and training institutions and choose to be a private trainer. This would not only provide more freedom, but also eliminate the need for middlemen to make profit.

"It happens that Shengzhou University has a tutoring center, so I just go there and fill out my resume."

The Tutoring Center of Shengzhou University is a non-profit organization that provides part-time jobs for Shengzhou University students and does not charge any agency fees.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen came to the tutoring center, picked up a blank resume and filled it out.

The subject that Ning Chen tutored was high school mathematics. As for the tuition fee, Ning Chen paid 200 yuan per hour. This was a very high price in the tutoring market at that time.

In this era, prices are not yet so high. Some college tutors only charge tens of yuan per hour, and those who can receive more than 100 yuan are considered relatively high.

However, Ning Chen felt that given his ability, it was still worth the price.

Because Shengzhou University is the best university in Shengzhou, tutors for college students from Shengzhou University are very popular in Shengzhou.

The day after Ning Chen submitted his resume, a parent contacted Ning Chen, hoping that Ning Chen could go over and give a trial lecture.

This student is a freshman in high school named Xu Yang, who lives near Shengzhou University. After the two parties agreed on a time, Ning Chen went to the community where the students were.

The environment of the community is very good and the location is good. The current house price has exceeded 10,000, and later it skyrocketed to 30,000.

People who can live in this community must have very good family conditions.

According to the information provided by her parents, Ning Chen went to her room number and pressed the doorbell.

The woman who opened the door was Xu Yang's mother Zhou Li. She looked to be in her thirties, but of course she was actually in her early forties. She looked younger because she took better care of herself.

"Hello, are you Teacher Ning?"

"Hello, Xu Yang's mother, I am Teacher Ning."

In terms of title, Ning Chen deliberately used the title "Mother Xu Yang", which would appear more appropriate.

Ning Chen is not much older than the child, so it is not appropriate to call a parent "sister", and if called "aunt", it does not suit her status as a teacher.

"Teacher Ning, please come in."

After pouring a glass of water for Ning Chen, Zhou Li started chatting with Ning Chen.

"Teacher Ning, it says on your resume that you are number one in your major?"

"Yes, Mom Xu Yang, you can rest assured that our information has been verified by the tutoring center. I also taught some students during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, and I still have certain teaching experience."

Ning Chen specifically emphasized the point of experience because Ning Chen knew that parents might worry that it was their first time being a tutor and they had no teaching experience.

Zhou Li did not doubt Ning Chen's grades. Zhou Li went to the Tutoring Center of Shengzhou University specifically in the hope of finding a college student with excellent grades.

Even if Ning Chen's asking price is a bit high, Zhou Li is willing to let Ning Chen come over and give it a try.

"Let me briefly tell you about our family's situation in Yangyang. When Yangyang was in junior high school, his math scores were pretty good, and he was just a few points shy of a perfect score in the high school entrance exam. But after he entered high school, his math scores suddenly dropped, and he was always in the eighth grade. About ninety percent..."

While listening to Zhou Li's story, Ning Chen made a rough analysis of Xu Yang's situation.

"We have also tried tutoring in cram schools before, but the effect has not been very good. Now we want to find a tutor to try. I think you are about the same age, so it should be easier to get along with each other."

"Okay, Xu Yang's mother, I basically understand the basic situation of the child."

"Well, Teacher Ning, let's get started."

Zhou Li led Ning Chen to the child's room and closed the door.

Zhou Li's first impression of Ning Chen was good. Zhou Li originally thought that a science and engineering student like Ning Chen might have difficulty communicating, but after meeting her, she found that Ning Chen was quite talkative.

In fact, Ning Chen is not an outgoing person, but after working hard in society for so many years in his previous life, Ning Chen has managed to develop his communication skills.

Only outside of work, Ning Chen would still take off his mask and enjoy his rest time quietly.

"Hello teacher."

Seeing Ning Chen come in, Xu Yang whispered hello to Ning Chen.

Xu Yang seems to be a relatively shy boy. This kind of students often don't like to communicate with strangers. However, in the previous life, Ning Chen had come into contact with many students of this type and knew how to get along with them.

Ning Chen did not rush to start the lecture, but first chatted with Xu Yang about some extracurricular topics.

"Teacher, do you also like basketball?"

Ning Chen quickly found a common topic with Xu Yang, which quickly brought Ning Chen closer to Xu Yang.

After chatting about extracurricular matters for a few minutes, Ning Chen got down to business.

"Show me your previous exam papers, the more the better."

"okay."

Looking through the wrong questions on Xu Yang's paper, Ning Chen further understood Xu Yang's problem.

Xu Yang can still get the more basic questions right, but as long as the questions change slightly, it will be difficult for Xu Yang to get a complete score.

Ning Chen casually pointed out a wrong question and asked Xu Yang to explain it to him, but Xu Yang had obviously forgotten how to do this question, and shook his head and smiled in embarrassment.

Ning Chen didn't blame Xu Yang, but took out the draft paper and explained it to Xu Yang.

Ning Chen did not simply answer this question, but started with the knowledge points examined by this question and analyzed the entire question in depth, which gave Xu Yang a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
