Chapter 1027 Becoming a Disciple? Taking Advantage of It!
Zhouzhou took a while to work through the formula, spending nearly twenty minutes on the problem.
She scratched her head in embarrassment, knocking her own forehead as she lamented, "I'm so stupid."
Brother Dafu solved it so quickly, and it took her so much longer.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xiao's mouth twitched. If she was stupid, then there wouldn't be anyone intelligent in the world!
No, wait. She was being modest!
Talented, diligent, and humble—she had everything to succeed!
Thinking this, Elder Xiao's gaze toward Zhouzhou became even more intense.
He was definitely taking this disciple!
Zhouzhou didn't understand why Elder Xiao was suddenly looking at her with such strange, almost burning eyes.
She couldn't help but wonder—did she say something wrong?
She really thought she wasn't as smart as Qin Er.
Qin Er didn't need to say much—he could solve it right away, while she struggled, her speed far behind him.
What's with calling herself stupid?
While she was lost in thought, Elder Xiao took hold of both of them and led them out.
Zhouzhou and Qin Er exchanged a confused glance, not knowing what he was up to.
The Qin family members were sitting on the sofas in the living room.
Qin Lie occasionally looked up at the second floor, wondering what was happening.
Just then, the door opened, and Elder Xiao, leading Zhouzhou and Qin Er, came out with excitement written all over his face. He walked right up to them and said directly, "I'd like to take Zhouzhou and Qin Er as my disciples. Do you think that's alright?"
Take them as disciples?
The others were somewhat surprised. Grandpa Qin and Qin Lie remained calm.
Grandpa Qin had already expected this outcome.
Qin Lie had seen this sort of thing plenty of times before. It wasn't anything new.
Although they had anticipated it, they didn't make a decision immediately and instead asked, "You should ask Zhouzhou and Qin Er."
That's true.
Though they were young, they could understand. This decision needed to come from them first.
Smiling, Grandpa Qin turned to the two children and asked, "Zhouzhou, Qin Er, would you like to become my disciple?"
Zhouzhou and Qin Er exchanged a glance. Zhouzhou was about to speak when Qin Er suddenly grabbed her hand, giving it a little squeeze. Having run a stall together for months, they had developed a tacit understanding. Zhouzhou immediately understood and kept quiet.@@@@
Zhouzhou's eyes went wide. "He's a scammer!"
How many people can't even earn a thousand in a month, and he's making that in an hour??
Just for solving a problem?!
Elder Xiao: "..."
Cough, cough, he didn't actually want to charge money. But people insisted on paying him, and before he knew it, the rumor spread that he charged a thousand an hour.
He never said such a thing! It was a misunderstanding!
Oh no, his disciples might think he's unscrupulous and not want to become his disciples.
He could explain!
Grandpa Qin and Qin Lie, however, remained completely unfazed, continuing to sip their tea. His two money-loving grandchildren had a way of thinking that was different from others.
As expected, Zhouzhou started calculating in her head again, then slapped her thigh. "Oh no, I listened to him for half an hour, so I earned five thousand! If I'd known, I'd have stayed longer."
"Brother Dafu, if we become disciples, does that mean we're earning money too? A thousand an hour!"
How much would that be? He couldn't even imagine.
Qin Bei nodded seriously. "I've always done my own research, freeloaded on lessons, but I couldn't bear to pay for tutoring. It's just way too expensive! Now that there's a ready-made teacher, I have to take advantage of it!"
"That's right!" Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, raising her little fist with enthusiasm. "We have to!"
With that, the two of them ran back to Elder Xiao, hand in hand, both smiling brightly.
"Hello, master!" Zhouzhou greeted in a crisp voice.
Qin Er picked up the tea cup beside him. "Master, have some tea."
Now, Elder Xiao was hesitating.
He was suddenly a bit scared.
The Qin family members almost laughed themselves silly.
Grandma Qin was laughing so hard she was almost rolling on the floor.
Grandpa Qin, with a smile on his face, said, "No rush. Why don't you think it over and decide after the national competition? It's not too late then."
Before the national competition, he couldn't really interact with Zhouzhou and Qin Er anyway, avoiding arousing suspicion.
At that moment, Qin Ren entered the room.
Seeing him, Elder Xiao's spirits lifted. It was because of his hesitation back then that such a good talent was stolen by someone else.
Though retired now, his heart still belonged to B University.
He had to convince the Qin family's two little sprouts to come to B University!
He took the tea cup from Qin Er's hand and said with a smile, "Good disciple!"
