Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Zheng Miaoying said that if she were to teach others, she would need to practice for at least another month.

Lin Ting had no objection to this, because she also needed time to organize her vocabulary, and—

"Mr. Fang, please try our Sweet Honey Milk Tea Shop's milk tea."

Upon hearing the word "tea," Fang Deliang instinctively squeezed his legs together.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, took the plastic cup, and took a small sip as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Mr. Lin has a brilliant idea. This drink is very popular now," Fang Deliang said, taking a sip and putting down his cup. He looked at Lin with a smile. "My daughter took a taxi with her classmates to Beiliao University a couple of days ago to buy a few cups. She kept complaining that it was too far from home and wished she could move there!"

Lin understood what he meant, smiled and said, "Tell your sister not to worry, the other milk tea shops will be opening next week."

Fang Deliang was slightly disappointed; he had thought Lin Ting had come to him to discuss the sale of the milk tea shop.

He had roughly calculated that a store could earn four or five thousand yuan a month, which was much more than renting a house.

However, he just smiled and said, "That would be great. I wish Mr. Lin a prosperous business."

Lin Ting took a sip of milk tea before saying, "I'm here to ask if you're interested in another business opportunity."

Fang Deliang knew that Lin Ting wouldn't be looking for him for no reason, but he couldn't think of any other business she might be involved in.

She can't possibly drag me into dealing with steel, can she?

They're too small for heavy industry stuff...

Fang Deliang unconsciously started thinking about things too far ahead. In fact, he had been thinking about this matter almost every day and night for the past few days.

Lin cleared his throat and said, "I plan to open a tutoring school to teach English."

Fang Deliang: "...?"

He considered ten thousand possibilities, and Lin heard the ten thousand and first one.

This girl really dabbles in every industry!

They are all completely unrelated professions.

Fang Deliang was stunned for a while before saying, "Ahem... there are quite a lot of these tutoring classes nowadays."

“There are indeed many people who teach English to children, but what we do is TOEFL training to help people go abroad.” Lin heard, “Shenyang has a population of over five million, many universities, and many college students. And right now, at least five out of ten college students want to go abroad.”

"Mr. Fang, this market is much bigger than you imagine."

Fang Deliang became interested. He thought to himself, "Let alone college students, even my nephew, who's a vocational school graduate, is always clamoring to go abroad."

He unconsciously sat up straighter and looked at Lin Ting, asking, "Mr. Lin, please elaborate?"

"For most non-English major students, the TOEFL is the first hurdle for them to overcome when going abroad, and this exam is unavoidable whether they are applying to schools on a government scholarship or on their own."

Lin Ting repeated what he had said to Jiang Zong before: "Assuming each student pays thirty yuan a month, two hundred students would pay six thousand, and two thousand would pay sixty thousand... Given the size of Shenyang, if we do well, the number of students will be far more than two thousand."

Fang Deliang unconsciously rubbed his fingers together a couple of times under the table.

So, the profit margin is indeed very high.

but--

"What can I do?" Fang Deliang laughed self-deprecatingly. "I'm just a roughneck. Asking me to do education would only be misleading the young people!"

Lin Ting smiled slightly: "Of course, we don't need you to teach, and you don't need to worry about the operation. What I need you to do is issue the school's operating license and find us a location to operate the school."

Before Fang Deliang could ask any questions, Lin Ting said, "I'll give you five percent of Shenyang's profits."

Five percent means nearly three thousand yuan per month for two thousand people, and five or six thousand yuan for four thousand people.

All he needed to do was get his older brother to approve a school operating license for them, and then find a place to run the school.

Of course, to ensure stability in the future, he also needs to maintain good relationships with others, lest someone come knocking on his door to take advantage of him.

Fang Deliang quickly calculated in his mind, feeling that he could still negotiate the price.

"Isn't five percent a bit low?" Fang Deliang said. "I have a lot to bribe on my end, so I won't get much in my pocket."

Lin Ting smiled and nodded, as if she understood his feelings perfectly: "If you feel the price is not right, then forget it."

Fang Deliang: "...?"

Is it really okay to negotiate a deal at such a fixed price?

Lin Ting sipped her milk tea and looked at him innocently, saying, "I've known you for a long time, and the price I'm offering you is naturally my bottom line. I don't see the need to play mind games with you."

"So, if you feel the price isn't right, then we'll just have to let it go. I'll look for you again next time we have the opportunity to work together."

Her expression was unusually calm, yet for some reason Fang Deliang felt he could trust her.

Of course, the main reason he believed it was because... Lin Ting had more than just him as a network of connections.

He had heard that all the approval procedures for the Sweet Honey Milk Tea shop were completed in just one and a half days.

It goes without saying who made the connections behind this.

Fang Deliang remained silent, unwilling to give up the immediate benefits, yet too embarrassed to directly change his mind and agree.

Lin Ting noticed the change in his eyes, chuckled softly, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I came to you because I thought your brother would be somewhat interested in education."

Fang Deliang was taken aback.

He has little political sense, a point his older brother has mentioned many times.

However, having been by his elder brother's side for many years, he still possessed the necessary intuition.

He thought for a moment and realized that this job was not just about money, but also about political achievements.

If Lin Ting really succeeds in making this tutoring school a success, then his older brother will be a hero in promoting the development of education in Shenyang!

Fang Deliang was deeply moved.

He cleared his throat and said, "This matter involves many people and things, and I can't guarantee that it will work out. So, Mr. Lin, give me a day so I can go back and discuss it with my older brother."

“Of course,” Lin Ting nodded. “I’ll wait for you for a day.”

Fang Deliang then asked Lin Ting what her requirements were for the teaching location.

Lin replied, "Cheap, spacious, and preferably with few people around."

Fang Deliang thought to himself, "Then why don't you just convert the garment factory into a proper place? This place meets all your requirements in every way!"

But he didn't dare say it, because he knew without a doubt that Lin Ting would never give up the garment factory.

Without further hesitation, he noted down Lin Ting's request and hurriedly left to discuss the matter with his elder brother.

As Lin left the teahouse, Zhang Liang immediately approached him and asked in a low voice, "Boss, did it go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly, and I discovered something very important." Lin Ting looked seriously in the direction Fang Deliang had left.

Zhang Liang unconsciously tensed up: "What's wrong, boss?"

Lin Ting: "It's really cheap to do business with Mr. Fang. Two yuan's worth of milk tea is enough for him."

Zhang Liang: "..."
