Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"That's it!"

At this moment, Zhou Min suddenly thought of the online education industry that would emerge in later generations.

This industry should be starting to emerge gradually now.

However, at that time, and in the years that followed, the online education model mainly consisted of online video courseware, with at most some basic online question banks.

However, in the future, with the development of technology and the popularization of the internet and electronic devices, online education will experience rapid development.

In the future, whether it's basic education for primary and secondary school students, quality education, or vocational training for various industries, you will be able to find relevant online education courses on the internet.

Zhou Min clearly understands that online education is currently a huge untapped market.

Zhou Min's computer knowledge further stirred her already restless heart.

At this moment, Zhou Min's mind was already running wild, going through the design, construction, promotion, and operation of the online education platform.

By the time Zhou Min came to her senses, more than half an hour had passed.

Zhou Min glanced at the dozen or so missed calls on her phone and once again gained a clear understanding of Zhang Kun's impatient nature.

At that moment, Zhou Min also had many thoughts she wanted to share with Zhang Kun, so she took her phone and went outside to call him.

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Kun asked impatiently, "Are you in Professor Gong's office? Did Professor Gong agree to let you go to his lab during the summer vacation?"

"No, no!" Zhou Min said with a wry smile.

"Then why didn't you reply to my messages? Why didn't you answer my calls?" Zhang Kun continued to question.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Can't I have something to do?"

"You sent me a message and then something happened right after? What a coincidence!" Zhang Kun retorted stubbornly.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you! Judging from your expression, I can tell that Teacher Gong hasn't replied to you!"

No sooner had Zhou Min finished speaking than Zhang Kun retorted, not to be outdone: "But I didn't reply to you either! Otherwise, why would you need to ask me?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min mischievously said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I just want to show off!"

"Impossible, you're not that kind of person."

After Zhang Kun finished speaking, he asked again, still unsure of himself, "I was right, wasn't I? You're not that kind of person, are you? I didn't misjudge you, did I?"

"I was just kidding you, I didn't receive it either." Seeing that Zhang Kun was really panicking, Zhou Min stopped teasing him.

After Zhou Min finished speaking, she asked seriously, "Have you not bought a plane ticket home yet?"

"Yes, we haven't bought it yet! Do you think Teacher Gong is ignoring us? Or maybe he lost his phone? But I sent it to his email address, he wouldn't have missed checking his work email for two days, would he?"

Zhang Kun's mind was still entirely on Teacher Gong.

Seeing this, Zhou Min had no choice but to say discouragingly, "Don't wait anymore, I think there's probably no hope!"

Zhou Min and Zhang Kun both started actively recommending themselves to Teacher Gong during the last May Day holiday.

When Teacher Gong initially refused, he still considered their feelings.

Later on, Teacher Gong's refusal became increasingly concise.

After not replying to their messages for two consecutive days, Zhou Min strongly suspected that Teacher Gong had blocked her and Zhang Kun to avoid being disturbed.

Zhang Kun had already guessed what Zhou Min was talking about.

Seeing that Zhou Min shared the same opinion, Zhang Kun was even more disappointed. Reflecting on his behavior recently, Zhang Kun said dejectedly, "I think so too. Teacher Gong probably thinks we're too annoying and has blocked us."

An hour ago, Zhou Min might have had a lot to say to Zhang Kun. But right now, she just wanted to quickly get to the topic she wanted to discuss.

So Zhou Min didn't respond to Zhang Kun's question, but instead asked directly, "So what are your plans for the summer vacation? Are you planning to go back?"

"I don't have any plans for now, and I don't plan to go back. I already told my family I wouldn't be going back for summer vacation, and now I'm too ashamed to go back. Sigh..." Zhang Kun said, letting out a long sigh.

Seeing this, Zhou Min quickly comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. If you're not going back for summer vacation, why don't we find something to do together?"

"What kind of work are you looking for?"

Zhang Kun sounded a little listless, but Zhou Min didn't care.

Zhou Min said directly and without hesitation, "I suddenly had an idea today. I'm planning to use this summer vacation to create an online education website and then find some educational institutions to collaborate on developing online courses. What do you think?"

"What? What? Say that again!"

Zhang Kun, who had been absent-minded, was suddenly shocked by Zhou Min's words.

Zhou Min knew that her idea was crazy for most students who had been in college for less than a year, so she understood Zhang Kun's shock.

Urged on by Zhang Kun, Zhou Min repeated her idea: "I said I want to take advantage of this summer vacation to create an online education website."

Zhang Kun heard him clearly this time, but still asked incredulously, "You're planning to start a business?"

After asking the question, Zhang Kun muttered with a hint of disappointment, "I thought you would go on to pursue a research career!"

Although Zhang Kun's voice was very soft, it still reached Zhou Min's ears clearly.

Zhou Min didn't know how to explain to Zhang Kun that when she was Zhang Kun's age, she was just like him, determined to devote herself to scientific research.

However, the reality is that after graduation, when looking for a job, one has to consider various factors such as location, salary, and career development.

Even after entering a research institution, one may have to sit on the sidelines for many years before a research opportunity comes along.

How many people, during this waiting process, gradually lose their enthusiasm due to the gap between their ideals and reality, and eventually choose to leave?

How many people are forced to give up their dreams because their scientific research work cannot meet their material needs?

Zhou Min was one of them in her past life, so in this life, she hopes to have more control over the situation.

Money is a good thing. Even if it can't make your dreams come true, it can provide a shortcut to achieving them.

Therefore, Zhou Min is happy to take advantage of the present moment to accumulate some capital for pursuing her dreams.

Zhou Min didn't want to lecture Zhang Kun on these grand principles, so she skipped his words and continued, "Anyway, we're free this summer, so it's a good opportunity to put our learning into practice. Why don't you consider coming along?"
