Rebirth and making money first
Chapter 17: Free Yourself from Anxiety
As soon as she was out of Aaron's sight, Zhang Jing smiled. She'd thought she'd make money, but it hadn't happened so quickly. She needed to calculate how much money she had, but before she could find the time, Director Chen asked her to take over the class, saying a teacher had taken an urgent leave and needed to take care of the students. But they could be released after noon; two hours of keeping them entertained would be enough.
Zhang Jing had no choice but to rush into the classroom. There were three boys and three girls, all tall and short, fat and thin. "Are you not Teacher Chen?" she asked in a positive tone. "Are you new here?" "You have to sign in to be considered on duty." "I'm the class monitor. The teacher is not here. Please sit with us."
Zhang Jing smiled and said softly, "Hi! Hello everyone! I'm a new teacher too. Your teacher Chen has something urgent to attend to, so I'm taking her place now." Seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of several people, Zhang Jing cheered up and said, "I'm new here and don't know you all. Could you please introduce yourself to me?"
Zhang Jing learned each of their names and inquired whether they listened to Teacher Chen's storytelling every day. After a moment's reflection, Zhang Jing decided to change her strategy and spend the morning with them. She smiled and said, "Teacher doesn't want to tell stories today. Instead, I'd like to ask what each of you does and what chores you help with at home." She patiently asked each one, and after everyone had answered, she proceeded to inquire about the stories they had heard at work yesterday.
Everyone was busy trying to piece together the answer. It was still early, so Zhang Jing suddenly had an idea and asked, "So, do you want to learn a song or a tongue twister? I can teach you today."
"We want it all! We want it all!" several adults shouted excitedly, like children. Zhang Jing understood that this unique job required a unique approach. She quickly comforted everyone and gestured for silence. She then offered to sing a song or recite a tongue twister for them to choose from. Everyone nodded in agreement, and the squad leader led the applause.
Zhang Jing then sang the song "Catching Loaches." The cheerful melody and beautiful voice prompted several people present to express their desire to learn the song. When Zhang Jing performed the tongue twister "Counting Dates," they were equally captivated and asked her to teach them the same tongue twister.
By the morning, Zhang Jing had become known as "Teacher Zhang Jing." As soon as they learned the song, students from the next class were drawn in by the song, "Big Brother, let's go catch loaches! Xiao Niu's brother is taking him to catch loaches." The other teachers, in a fit of discontent, yelled at her for a long time before agreeing to teach her too and sending her back.
Learning tongue twisters was difficult, after all, many people speak and react slowly. Zhang Jing simply wrote them on the blackboard and read them aloud: "Exit the east gate, cross the bridge. Under the bridge is a date tree. There are more green ones than red ones. Grab a pole and go pick the dates. One date, two dates, three dates..." Zhang Jing's teaching was so utterly depressing that the students were thrilled.
When it was time to let them go, everyone reluctantly said goodbye to Zhang Jing. They said they would come back tomorrow, so Zhang Jing could continue teaching. Zhang Jing sent the students off with a fake smile. Feeling her throat grow hoarse, she hurried to get some water. Director Chen came over, smiling and praising Zhang Jing's energy. He said that besides encouraging students to interact more, they also needed to keep them entertained, and urged Zhang Jing to keep working hard. Zhang Jing quickly said, "Thank you, leadership, for the opportunity."
After dinner, Zhang Jing returned to her dorm to rest. She remembered her stocks and immediately became motivated. At 52 yuan, she had 2800 shares. Her assets had gone from 7840 yuan to 13 yuan. She'd made over yuan! She'd won the bet. Zhang Jing immediately remembered the other stocks she and Uncle Zhang had bought, but she hadn't had time to look at them. She'd check online this afternoon.
Zhang Jing had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone. She picked up the phone with sleepy eyes and saw that it was A-Long calling, so she weakly pressed the answer button.
Aaron excitedly shouted on the other end of the phone, "You're amazing! You've made over a hundred thousand! Sell the stocks quickly, or you'll lose a lot if the price drops!"
Zhang Jing rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, "I'm on my lunch break. Let's sell it later." A'long got anxious when he heard that: "How can that be? You can take a day off to sell it. If not, I'll go with you! Or you can call and ask for permission!"
Zhang Jing said helplessly: "I have only been working for a few days and I am embarrassed to ask for leave. Besides, I think this stock will continue to rise, so I will sell it when it reaches 60 yuan." Seeing that he could not persuade Zhang Jing, A Long had to agree to help her keep an eye on this stock.
Zhang Jing thought about it and decided that since she had already troubled A-Long, she might as well ask him to do her a favor. So she said to A-Long, "Please keep an eye on Fuyao and Gun Mine for me."
When Aaron heard that Zhang Jing also bought these two stocks, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He quickly asked, "How much did you buy? At what price?" Zhang Jing answered him without hesitation and said that she planned to hold these two stocks for a long time.
Zhang Jing knew that only by getting A-Long interested in her business and continuously investing in sunk costs would she have a chance to succeed. Properly involving him was the most effective way.
As expected, after hearing this, A-Long earnestly advised Zhang Jing not to recklessly buy and sell stocks again. He vowed that he would ask his friends for details and, once he had the details, he would tell Zhang Jing what to do next. Zhang Jing feigned innocence and agreed, but after hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but feel as if her IQ was gradually deteriorating. It was indeed difficult to pretend to be naive.
Since I couldn't sleep after waking up anyway, I might as well get up and write something! Zhang Jing thought so, and decided to write an article based on the events that happened in class today. Her thoughts flowed like a spring, and before long, she had a heartfelt and fascinating article.
The characters, such as Datou, Xiaomei, and Ali, are all vividly portrayed, each with its own distinct character. Zhang Jing revised the article repeatedly until she was satisfied with it, finally naming it "We'd All Be Wonderful in Another World." She planned to find time to print it out after finishing her work in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, she cleaned and tidied. She also had to plan for tomorrow's work. Knowing she would have to substitute for a class, Zhang Jing was paralyzed. She asked Director Chen if she didn't know how to teach and if someone else could help, but he refused. Director Chen advised that it wasn't about what to teach; as long as they were willing to come and engage in further communication, that was enough.
Zhang Jing agreed and showed her draft to the director. She also mentioned that she planned to print it out in the computer room, secretly wanting to complete her personal work as well. The director was pleased and asked Zhang Jing to finish it and send it out as soon as possible. Zhang Jing said she would expand on the content after the class tomorrow.
Just before leaving get off work, Aunt Zhuang, the cook, and her husband took the day off. Leaving the dinner group to fend for themselves, Zhang Jing realized everyone had a plan, except for herself. She decided to go out to eat, to the big cafeteria she used to frequent, mainly because it was cheaper. It was funny to think that someone with over a hundred thousand dollars in her pocket would save money by eating out at a six or seven yuan home-cooked meal.
Before leaving get off work, security guard Gao Wei stopped Zhang Jing. He asked her if she could cook and if she wanted to cook for him in the cafeteria. If not, she could help him watch the gate while he cooked for the two of them. Zhang Jing exclaimed that she had found a treasure and immediately agreed. They agreed to switch shifts after get off work. Gao Wei even asked Zhang Jing if she could eat spicy food. Zhang Jing nodded and reminded Gao Wei not to cook too much, as she mainly ate vegetarian food.
Zhang Jing finally got to taste the security guard's meal, and it was surprisingly even more delicious than Aunt Zhuang's. After all, everyone has their own unique dietary preferences, and the taste differences between the north and south are natural. But before she could finish her meal, her cell phone rang pleasantly. Zhang Jing picked up the phone, and the screen showed a call from her mother. She answered, and her mother told her she wanted to come over, but she had to wait until the dog had puppies.
Besides, Zhang Jing's mother had another important news to share: her brother had found a girlfriend, a Sichuanese woman! At this point, the mother made a request: when her brother got married, she wanted Zhang Jing and her sister to each contribute 10 yuan as a gift. This was familiar to Zhang Jing, having experienced a similar situation in a previous life. Faced with this request, Zhang Jing could only respond, "We'll discuss it when you get here." Gao Wei, standing nearby, cast a sympathetic glance. Zhang Jing hurriedly finished her meal under his gaze and left in dismay.
At this time, Zhang Jing was angry and anxious, and she wanted to get rid of it all.
