Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 452 - 451: The Tutoring Program That Won Over Everyone
"Hahaha!"
Gu Xiaoqing’s occasional wit made many in the room smile, instantly easing the atmosphere and making it as lively as if the previous interruption had never happened.
"Uh, Mr. Gu, when does the one-on-one tutoring you mentioned start? Can I join?"
Gu Xiaoqing nodded and said, "Good question. As everyone knows, New Horizon is very responsive. Now that we have such a plan, there will be a recruitment announcement next month. Any student wanting to join New Horizon part-time can go to a branch for an interview."
"Interview?"
This student was taken aback.
"Yes, there must be an interview, followed by one week of training, and subsequently, evaluations every three months. Those who fail the evaluations will need to be retrained."
"That’s... difficult!"
This student seemed to lose confidence.
"Classmate, although this program is a poverty alleviation project, we must also be responsible to the parents here, right? We at New Horizon cannot assign an unqualified person to their children, delaying their future.
Moreover, interviews and training are experiences you will go through after graduation. If you don’t believe me, ask any senior here about their job searches and whether they require interviews and training."
Gu Xiaoqing’s words resonated with many in the room, especially the parents, who felt relieved knowing they wouldn’t face inconsistencies in quality.
At the very least, the poorest performers can be eliminated, ensuring the high quality of tutoring.
"Do we need to bring anything when we interview?"
Another female student stood up and asked.
"Firstly, you must bring your ID card, along with your university acceptance letter or a letter of proof from your college, which we will verify with their staff.
Secondly, your college entrance exam scores—if you have them, great, but if not, it’s okay. One part of our internal interview is a test, with questions slightly more difficult than the entrance exam.
Also, your personal profile. We need to know your strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you’re good at math and physics but not languages, after the interview and training, we will recommend you to students who need help in math and physics. If someone else is good at languages but weaker in math, we will recommend them to students in need of language help."
Gu Xiaoqing’s system immediately gained recognition and resonance from many people.
"Of course, any applying parents must also bring their child’s recent report card. Our analysts will provide a free analysis and then recommend suitable tutors for your child." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Hmm, that’s nice!"
"Yeah, sounds interesting."
"Damn it, I’m not short of money, no matter how expensive, I definitely want to find such a tutor for my son."
Some parents also shouted, "Then how is the cost calculated?"
"It’s time-based, 30 per hour, with New Horizon taking 10% as a processing fee. The remaining 27 goes entirely to the student, with immediate settlement, no delays. After all, our analysts don’t work for free, and our test setting teachers need certain expenses too."
"Only 10% deducted?"
Many students were suddenly intrigued; that’s 30 units! How much do they spend on meals in a day?
In ’96, eating in the school cafeteria, even dining out on a carpet, ten units was already extravagant.
And they could earn 27 in an hour. Many students felt like they were dreaming, with half of the students in attendance eager to try.
Only Ye Mingyue knew that even so, Gu Xiaoqing was breaking even, but her goal was to cultivate a new force for New Horizon.
Even if other educational institutions follow suit later, firstly, they wouldn’t have the capital, and even if they did, the best students would already be chosen by New Horizon, leaving them with just the leftovers.
In this way, New Horizon will become the largest and strongest permanent educational institution in the country, achieving dominance.
This was Gu Xiaoqing’s intention.
Of course, Gu Xiaoqing also had a preemptive plan for dealing with anti-monopoly laws, as unlike in the United States, monopolies here weren’t such a big deal.
"Of course, fellow students, if your monthly income reaches the national tax threshold, you must pay taxes! This cannot be evaded."
"Hahaha."
Many laughed heartily.
"Also, we will track the academics of students receiving dedicated tutoring. A student’s performance will be your performance review standard, so don’t think that passing the interview and assessment means you can just earn money. Remember my words: only with effort comes reward."
"Got it, Mr. Gu. I’ll go prepare right away."
"Yes, we will definitely work hard."
This speech almost stimulated both students and parents, greatly satisfying everyone’s needs.
Dean Chang secretly nodded, thinking no wonder she serves both political and business circles seamlessly in the United States, leaving nothing to chance.
"Lastly, the free slots for the overseas English summer camp that parents are concerned about will be drawn today. In the spirit of fairness and justice, New Horizon will allow students, teachers, or parents to draw. If you don’t get selected, I, Gu Xiaoqing, can do nothing about it."
Upon these words, the people from the education bureau were also surprised, not expecting Gu Xiaoqing to pull such a stunt.
Doesn’t this mean that stuffing their people in would be problematic?!
After all, people naturally want to take advantage.
"Director, isn’t this Gu Xiaoqing outrageous, doing such a thing?"
Vice Director Lian said angrily.
Sitting in the middle, the director looked at Gu Xiaoqing, then glared at Vice Director Lian displeased, "You offended her? Just looking after your own interests. Don’t think I don’t know about your connections with that Zhou guy. What, instead of backing her, you still want to benefit from her? I see you’re regressing as Vice Director. Get lost, just looking at you annoys me."
"This..."
Vice Director Lian was dumbfounded; what was this all about? Wasn’t he just trying to get a couple of slots to sell?
How did he suddenly even offend his own boss?
Weren’t these things they usually did?
Of course, Gu Xiaoqing would give these people slots, only discussing some dining table matters when doing so.
Even if Gu Xiaoqing was dull, given the situation on that day, she could see that Vice Director Lian had something going on with that Zhou guy.
Meanwhile, Ye Mingyue muttered discontentedly, "Great, now you’ve given so many slots to officials all over, and we have to create another free summer camp."
