After Zhong Yi finished reading the details of the treatment and benefits, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Cui Jingli.

Cui Jingli still had a professional smile on his face as he said, "Teacher Zhong, don't rush off yet. Actually, there's one more thing I'd like to ask Teacher Zhong for help with this time."

Zhong Yi stopped his steps, but did not close the car door, looking at Cui Jingli with doubt and asked, "What is it?"

Cui Jingli said, "It's like this. Our tutoring center has a Gold Medal Class specifically aimed at winning competitions, and they're about to recruit students. I'd like to ask Teacher Zhong to write an exam paper for this year's admissions test. As for the payment, you don't need to worry; it will definitely be the highest in the industry."

Actually, this exam paper didn't have to be written by Zhong Yi specifically. After all, Zeshu Tutoring Center has stood in this city for so many years, and there are still many good teachers.

It's just that this is a small communication trick between Cui Jingli and Zhong Yi. After all, once they get familiar with each other through back-and-forth interaction, many things will be easier to handle.

Zhong Yi slightly furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and said, "Cui Jingli, I'm afraid this isn't very appropriate. I have my own teaching duties at school, and writing exam papers is also a sensitive matter. I don't want to bring trouble upon myself."

Cui Jingli hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhong, rest assured. We will keep this absolutely secret. It won't bring you any trouble. Moreover, the payment is truly generous. I'll calculate it for you at the highest industry standard."

Regarding this request, Zhong Yi also did not want to accept it. He wasn't lacking money at the moment. Besides, how much money could writing one exam paper possibly pay, even at the highest rate? It wouldn't buy a car or a house. By then, he might not get any benefit but instead bring a heap of trouble upon himself. It was unnecessary.

Zhong Yi firmly said, "Cui Jingli, I'm truly sorry. I cannot agree to your request. I still want to focus on my teaching work at school." After saying this, Zhong Yi refused and then got out of the car and left directly.

Seeing Zhong Yi leave, the smile on Cui Jingli's face was gone. He furrowed his brow and said nothing, only watching Zhong Yi drive away.

He felt somewhat disappointed in his heart. He originally thought that with his eloquence and generous payment, he could move Zhong Yi, but he didn't expect Zhong Yi to be so resolute.

However, he did not give up. He decided to find another opportunity to communicate with Zhong Yi in the future. After all, an excellent teacher like Zhong Yi was very valuable to the tutoring center.

Song Jie finally heard their conversation clearly when Zhong Yi opened the car door.

Hearing that Cui Jingli was willing to pay a high price to ask Zhong Yi to write an exam paper, but Zhong Yi actually refused, Song Jie couldn't help but silently curse Zhong Yi as a fool.

"Hmph, not knowing how to seize such a good opportunity. What a blockhead." Song Jie muttered in his heart.

Seeing Zhong Yi drive away, Song Jie's eyes rolled.

He had been under a lot of pressure recently. Although his parents helped pay off the car loan, there were still daily expenses for the car. Plus, recently he had been spending money without restraint to pursue Zhang Xue'er, so he was a bit tight on cash.

Song Jie thought to himself, "This is a good opportunity to make money. I can't just let it pass."

Cui Jingli was about to drive away when he heard someone knocking on the car window, and he was startled.

He rolled down the window and saw Song Jie with a smile on his face. Cui Jingli didn't know him, so he asked, "What is it?"

Song Jie put on a thick-skinned face and said, "Hello. I unintentionally overheard your conversation with Zhong Yi just now. I can help with that exam paper. As for mathematics, I've always done some research on it."

Hearing this, Cui Jingli furrowed his brow. Could any Tom, Dick, or Harry run up to him and claim they were good enough? Did they really think Zeshu Tutoring Center was a place for amateurs?

Cui Jingli said somewhat impatiently, "Who are you? You think you can write an exam paper? Our Zeshu Tutoring Center isn't a place where just anyone can stick their nose in."

Seeing Cui Jingli furrowing his brow, Song Jie prepared to add fuel to the fire and said, "My uncle is Director Wang, the Academic Affairs Director of the school. I myself am the Class Teacher of Grade 5 Class 2. Zhong Yi's bit of mathematics knowledge is nothing in front of me. If it weren't for the fact that the school happened to lack a Chinese teacher when I first entered the school, and I have dual teaching qualifications in both Chinese and mathematics, I wouldn't be a Chinese teacher now."

Song Jie indeed had dual teaching qualifications in mathematics and Chinese. Back then, when he served as a Chinese teacher, it wasn't because the school lacked a Chinese teacher; the school lacked a mathematics teacher. He hadn't competed with Zhong Yi back then, and in the end, it was Director Wang who used his influence to arrange for him to become a Chinese teacher.

Moreover, Zhong Yi himself was a teacher with teaching qualifications in mathematics, Chinese, and English.

Hearing this, Cui Jingli became a bit interested. He thought to himself, "Since this person has some background, maybe I can give it a try." So he invited Song Jie to go out for dinner and chat while eating.

Hearing this, Song Jie hurriedly scrambled into the car. He didn't have as many misgivings as Zhong Yi.

In the restaurant, Song Jie and Cui Jingli sat opposite each other, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

The delicious steak emitted an enticing aroma, and the exquisite side dishes were colorful, increasing one's appetite. In the wine glass beside them, red wine swayed with a charming color.

Song Jie had a smile all over his face and tried his best to flatter Cui Jingli. While introducing his teaching experience, he also boasted about his mathematics level. "Cui Jingli, rest assured. I have my own set of methods in teaching. Moreover, I'm very familiar with the question types of mathematics competitions. I can definitely write a high-quality exam paper for your Gold Medal Class."

Cui Jingli nodded slightly, tasting the food while thinking about Song Jie's words.

He occasionally raised some questions to test Song Jie's professional ability. Although Song Jie was a bit nervous, he still did his best to answer fluently. After all, Cui Jingli was not a professional teacher and could only roughly gauge Song Jie's level.

After the meal, the two chatted quite pleasantly.

Finally, when the waiter brought the bill over, Song Jie did not let Cui Jingli pay the bill, but instead swollen his face to look fat and swiped his credit card to pay.

Although he felt some heartache in his heart, in order to leave a good impression on Cui Jingli, he couldn't care about that much anymore.

"Cui Jingli, I'll treat you to this meal. It's my honor to have a meal with you." Song Jie said with a smile.

Cui Jingli looked at Song Jie's behavior, and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. "Not bad. Teacher Song is very sincere. Then I look forward to your exam paper. If the quality passes, we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Song Jie nodded repeatedly. "Of course, of course. Cui Jingli, rest assured. I will definitely not disappoint you."

When leaving, Song Jie also specially arranged a designated driver for Cui Jingli. It could be said that the service was very attentive.

After leaving the restaurant, Song Jie's heart was full of expectation. He hoped that this time he could earn a considerable payment by writing an exam paper for Zeshu Tutoring Center to alleviate his financial pressure.

At the same time, he also thought that if he could establish a good relationship with Cui Jingli, who knew there might be more benefits in the future.

Meanwhile, Cui Jingli was thinking about whether Song Jie could really write a satisfactory exam paper for the tutoring center as he said. Plus, with his uncle's position, he didn't know if it could bring some convenience to the tutoring center.
