Chapter 164 A day in the life of Su Zhao’s tutor
In the cafeteria of the Polytechnic University, Su Zhao ordered a vegetarian dish and a steamed bun. Zhou Hao looked a little sad and wanted to order some meat dishes to eat with him, but after a moment of hesitation, he gave up and ordered a vegetable dish himself. , a steamed bun, and then a bowl of soup, and sat facing Su Zhao.
Seeing that Zhou Hao had hit this point, Su Zhao hurriedly asked: "Brother Hao, do you have enough to eat?"
Zhou Hao smiled slightly and said, "That's enough. Taking less at night is good for your health."
The camera kept filming at a fixed position nearby. Zhou Hao and Su Zhao ate their meal very quickly, and they didn't talk much.
Zhou Hao nodded and smiled, and the two of them stood up together, took the plates to the special bucket at the door, and walked out of the school side by side.
When I left school, waited for the bus, and took the bus, the photographer followed me all the way, and the machine never stopped once.
After getting off the bus, Su Zhao took out a piece of paper with the other party's home address on it, looked at the signs on the roadside, and after walking about 500 meters, he found a community called Shenyangli.
After entering the gate of the community, Su Zhao was a little nervous and said to Zhou Hao: "Brother Hao, what if the students or parents don't approve of my tutoring?"
Zhou Hao said with a smile: "You scored more than 670 points in the college entrance examination. As long as you don't be nervous and use the knowledge you have mastered in the three years of high school, students and parents will not disapprove of it."
Su Zhao giggled and said, "I'm just afraid that people will be dissatisfied and apply for a refund directly. Then in my dad's eyes, I will become a fool."
Zhou Hao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can do it."
The two of them walked all the way to the door of their employer's house. Su Zhao took a few deep breaths at the door and then rang the doorbell.
Before coming, Zhou Hao had already communicated with the parents of the students whether they were willing to cooperate in this special shooting. The other party simply agreed. At this moment, their family of three was waiting for Su Zhao, Zhou Hao and two TV station staff. 's visit.
The doorbell rang twice. The door was opened. An aunt about forty years old saw the four people at the door and the dark camera, and said with a smile: "Oh, are they classmates Su Zhao and Zhou Hao? Please come in, please come in."
Su Zhao bowed slightly: "Hello, aunt, I am Su Zhao."
Zhou Hao also bowed slightly: "Hello, aunt. I am Zhou Hao."
The aunt said very politely: "Come in quickly!"
The two of them walked in first, followed by the two reporters. As soon as they walked in, the man on the sofa stood up and came to greet him. Another boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was a little nervous. He looked at the camera and quickly turned his face to the side.
The male host pulled his son up to him and said with a smile: "Xiaowei, say hello to your seniors. Don't you really want to get into the University of Science and Technology? These two are your seniors."
Xiaowei was obviously a little embarrassed about the camera. He smiled awkwardly and said shyly: "Hello, senior."
Zhou Hao said: "Actually, the TV station is doing a tracking shoot today. Uncle, aunt, Xiaowei, don't be nervous, just let it happen naturally."
Lin Chan, who had been silently following the filming, also smiled and said: "Yes, uncle and aunt, Su Zhao will give Xiaowei tutoring later, we only need to shoot a few scenes."
The aunt smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's sit on the sofa for a while and drink some water!"
Su Zhao looked at the time and said, "Auntie. It's almost time. I think I can go to his room with Xiaowei to study."
Xiaowei also wanted to get out of the camera's view as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said: "Senior Su Zhao, please come with me. Let's go to the study room."
The two went to the study room, and Lin Chan did not disturb them. Instead, she said to the host and hostess of the house: "Uncle and aunt, while the children are free from studying, let's give you two an interview."
The male host had some stage fright, "You still want to interview us? What are you interviewing for?"
Lin Chan said: "Actually, it's just some simple questions. For example, why did you choose to find a college student tutor for your child in the Light of Hope, what do you think of college student tutors, etc. You don't need to be nervous, just tell the truth."
……
The Beijing evening news starts at ten o'clock the next day.
Zhou Hao and the five brothers in his dormitory went out to eat in a private room with a TV. They ate and watched. In order not to embarrass Su Zhao, they did not ask Lou Xinyu and the others to stay together in the dormitory.
The evening news had just started. The host introduced the main content of today's news. The ray of hope was in the third one. The host's description was: "Online tutoring is popular in Beijing. The ray of hope website explores new directions for part-time jobs for college students."
After the official content started, everyone waited for about seven or eight minutes before the special news about Su Zhao finally arrived.
After the host's introduction, the screen cut to the dormitory of the University of Science and Technology. At this time, Su Zhao and Zhou Hao were about to go out. The narrator said in a tone similar to "China on the Tip of the Tongue": "At six o'clock in the evening, Su Zhao, a freshman in class 01 of the Polytechnic University, packed his backpack and, accompanied by his roommate Zhou Hao, prepared for his first home tutoring. He listed 20 classes on the Light of Hope, and the transaction price was 43 per class hour. After the one-week course, he will be paid 588 yuan. This price may be surprising at first, but the reporter learned that the transaction price of the bidding king on the Light of Hope website reached yuan per class hour. .”
"Eighteen-year-old Su Zhao comes from a mountain village in a national-level poverty-stricken county in southeastern Guangxi. Due to the geographical isolation and slow economic development, Su Zhao's family annual income is only 3,000 yuan. Before tonight, he had never dreamed of He thought that he could find a part-time job that cost more than 800 yuan a week. Not long ago, he wanted to find a work-study position on the campus of the Polytechnic University. The salary of the latter was three yuan per hour, although it was higher than that in the capital. The minimum salary standard, but it is more than ten times lower than the salary Su Zhao received at Light of Hope."
"Zhou Hao, who is next to Su Zhao, is the founder of the Light of Hope website. This is a platform that specifically serves college students, high school students, and parents of high school students. Its core operation is to recommend college students to high school students as tutors. In the past week, "Light of Hope" has become the most concerned term among parents of senior high school students in Beijing."
At this time, Zhou Hao and Su Zhao were already out of the dormitory in the picture. As soon as the narration ended, the scene switched to a studio. Zhou Hao was sitting on a single sofa, and the yellow chasing light hit his face. The back is dark and appears very prominent.
Zhou Hao in the picture said with a smile: "The website Light of Hope was created by an unexpected opportunity. At that time..."
Zhou Hao on TV roughly talked about when he came back from vacation. I saw the sick Su Zhao worrying about finding a part-time job.
"I felt very uncomfortable at the time. No matter what, the students who can get into the Polytechnic University have the absolute best scores in the college entrance examination. Only when they have learned the knowledge in three years of high school and become proficient in the college entrance examination can they achieve excellent results in the college entrance examination. Why can they only Earning a part-time salary of less than three yuan an hour? So I decided to make a website like this to let them find their own value."
The reporter who did not show up asked Zhou Hao about the source of funds for founding the Light of Hope. Zhou Hao directly answered that it was his family's support.
The reporter then asked Zhou Hao that Light of Hope charges a 5% commission in both directions between parents and students. What is the purpose of this commission?
Zhou Hao also explained his motivation again: "After deducting the normal operating funds of the Light of Hope, all remaining profits will be used to establish a college student fund."
The reporter asked again: "We have roughly calculated that the profit of Light of Hope in the first week exceeded 15 yuan. Assuming that after earning the initial investment cost, it has a net income of yuan per week, then it will be yuan per month. One hundred thousand, this is a huge amount of money. It is a good thing to use it as a college student fund, but who will control this money? Should the Light of Hope set up a student fund itself, or donate this money to the society? A charity?"
On this issue, Zhou Hao said in an extremely serious tone: "Light of Hope is a public welfare platform. We will make all profits open and transparent, and we also welcome all sectors of society to review and supervise our public data. This point , no charity organization can do this at the moment. Therefore, our net profits will be used to establish our own student fund, and implement fund transparency. Every income and every donation will be announced on the website."
Then, the screen switched to Su Zhao being interviewed. The reporter asked Su Zhao: "Before coming to the capital, did you ever think about doing a part-time work-study program here?"
Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I thought about it all night before coming to the capital, and I have been thinking about this problem every day since then. It's just that my physical fitness is too poor and I am short, so most part-time jobs don't want me."
The reporter asked again: "Have you ever thought about being a tutor before?"
"I have thought about it, but there is no way. Parents will not come to the university to find tutors. We don't know where to find parents. We can only write some flyers and post them in nearby communities, but no one seems to care."
"Then why do you think that when college students put up flyers and proactively approach employers, no one pays attention to them, but in the light of hope, employers actively bid to hire college students?"
Su Zhao smiled shyly, "Brother Hao told me about this problem. I didn't dare to tutor high school seniors at first because the age gap was so small and the stakes were so important. I wasn't confident enough. In fact, it wasn't just me, but other college students as well. Similarly, everyone generally wants to be a tutor for junior high school students, so there is less pressure. However, when Brother Hao found out, he called me a fool and scolded me for not realizing that my greatest advantage was in the college entrance examination. He said that the three years of high school knowledge I had mastered were My biggest advantage.”
As he spoke, Su Zhao's eyes flashed: "It was he who realized the value of us freshmen, and even more aware of our advantages for senior high school students. It was also he who conveyed this advantage to the students' parents, and the students' parents Really starting to recognize the value of our freshmen, so they’re bidding to hire college students at Light of Hope.”
