Chapter 49 Xu An's Part-Time Job
Why do I get my nails done?
After gathering and purchasing the supplies needed by the villagers, the group sat on the minibus with the supplies. Jiang Zhaoyue was taken aback when she heard Xu An's question.
Xu An nodded. He was genuinely curious how Jiang Zhaoyue, a top idol from a well-off family, could possess such a skill.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue lowered her head somewhat embarrassed and whispered:
"When I was a trainee in South Korea, I really wanted to do nail art, but the training schedule was too tight and I didn't have many holidays, so I taught myself how to do nail art."
"Won't you do badly at first when you learn to do nail art on your own?" Xu An asked curiously.
Although he wasn't sure how difficult it was to do nail art, he figured it would be hard for a beginner to do it perfectly at first, right?
"...So I did it for the other trainees first," Jiang Zhaoyue said somewhat guiltily.
Upon hearing this, Xu Anle was delighted. So you know how to shift the risk, huh?
"Zhaoyue, you truly are a business genius!"
He sighed.
Even the viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back when they heard this.
[Other trainees: Is nobody speaking up for me?]
[This is hilarious! Could this be the root of the bullying rumors that Jiang Zhaoyue was bullied when she was a trainee?]
To be honest, I usually can't stand seeing trainees being bullied, but Zhaoyue being bullied... I can only say it's somewhat understandable.
[Teruzuki is so clever; she probably already had the idea of opening a nail salon if she couldn't debut.]
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue's guilty expression deepened, but she still stubbornly insisted:
"I don't understand what you mean, I just wanted to share."
"Yes, yes, that's it! Zhaoyue, from now on, when you're trying to persuade people to invest in your movies or TV series, just say this!"
Xu An slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Who needs to be fooled? If I want to make a TV series, there will be people scrambling to invest, okay?" Jiang Zhaoyue said angrily.
"That's right, that's exactly the kind of confidence we need!"
Xu Anle said with a chuckle.
Jiang Zhaoyue stopped talking to him and turned to complain, pouting her little red lips and saying to Bai Ge with a wronged expression:
"Sister Bai Ge, look at Xu An, he's just jealous that I earn more than him!"
Bai Ge looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's aggrieved expression and felt helpless. He then looked at Xu An, his clear eyes, like autumn water, revealing a smile.
Stop teasing Zhaoyue.
Having grasped this meaning, Xu An blinked, but instead of chasing after Jiang Zhaoyue to kill her, he raised his hand in confusion.
"Why do I feel like I can't feel anything in my legs? Have I lost strength?"
"Because you took a picture of my legs."
Chen Zize said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Xu An blinked, then sighed.
"Zize, you need to work on that. You don't have much muscle in your legs. I'll recommend a gym to you later. Just mention my name."
"You can offer a discount? You have that kind of connection?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked curiously, "My temper comes and goes quickly."
Chen Zize's face twitched involuntarily.
Does he need that little bit of discount?
But is it possible that he said that for my own good?
The thought had barely crossed Chen Zize's mind when he heard:
"Oh, no, I get a commission for each referral," Xu An said without changing his expression.
Chen Zize's expression instantly turned blank.
He was overthinking it; it was purely Xu An trying to take advantage of him.
"Why do you have so many part-time jobs? Are college students all so free? You wouldn't be skipping classes to work part-time, would you?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked suspiciously.
Although she attended university, she never experienced a normal university life because her work usually involved long-term leave.
Xu An answered this question seriously.
"Don't slander me. I'm just a senior in college, so I don't have many classes and have more free time. That's why I've been doing more part-time jobs."
"Unfortunately, I can't do part-time work right now because I'm participating in the show."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin, who was standing to the side, became somewhat curious.
"Xiao Xu, you always slack off when you're working in the small room, so why are you doing a part-time job at school?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An gave him a strange look.
"My part-time job isn't tiring."
Hearing this, even Bai Ge couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of part-time job do you do?"
Xu An thought for a moment, then gave two examples.
"We outsource the substitute teaching work to high school students who want to audit classes at the school."
"Outsource physical education students to run on campus."
Everyone in the cabin was stunned, and Jiang Zhaoyue's mouth was slightly open.
"You call this part-time work? Isn't this all outsourced?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An was displeased.
"Both college students who don't want to attend classes and high school students who are eager to learn get what they want. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ge suddenly realized something was wrong, and her usually calm eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"Xiao An, you've already accepted money from college students, but you're not going to accept money from high school students too, are you???"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xu An.
Xu An blinked.
Knowledge is priceless.
Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Xiao An hadn't turned out to be such a shrewd businessman after all...
"I just have high school students tutor elementary school students for me, and then I charge the elementary school students' parents a small tutoring fee."
Xu An's voice wasn't loud, but after he finished speaking, the entire car fell silent instantly.
Even the driver couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him.
"Uncle...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Even Shen Wanwan, who always stood by Xu An's side, tugged at his sleeve.
Upon hearing this, Xu An responded quite naturally.
"The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little. It's reasonable for university students to have one less class and primary school students to have one more class!"
The live stream chat exploded.
Is that what this sentence means?
Wow, now that you mention it, it actually seems like dynamic balancing has actually happened.
[You didn't mention a single word about how many profits you made in between!]
[This is outsourcing is amazing! I thought outsourcing to high school students was outrageous enough, but it turns out it involves elementary school students too?]
I suspect that every dog that walks past Xu An on the street gets plucked.
Hearing Xu An's words, everyone was speechless. Only Zhang Lin, who had never attended university, asked with some confusion:
"Why don't you just have college students tutor elementary school students instead of going through all this trouble?"
Xu An didn't even need to answer this; Jiang Zhaoyue, standing to the side, twitched her lips and answered for him.
"Because high school students have a more solid grasp of knowledge than college students."
"As college students get older, they only have less and less knowledge in their minds."
After speaking, Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at Xu An, whose face remained calm, her large eyes revealing a complex expression.
"You're such a shrewd businessman! What about the campus run?"
"You didn't try to eat from both ends again, did you?"
Hearing this, Xu An's voice revealed a hint of regret as he said:
"No, I only make money from students who need to participate in campus runs."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At least they didn't take advantage of the loopholes too much.
"Ahem, but the campus run was suggested by me in an anonymous letter to the school."
"Of course, seniors don't need to travel."
???
Are you even human?
Seeing Xu An's innocent expression, the people in the cabin were speechless.
Bai Ge's lips twitched, and his previously hesitant thoughts suddenly became firm.
