Chapter 916: A Mother Who Dreams of Getting Rich Every Day 16
In the commissioner’s lifetime, there was no impression of Jian Mo and the others’ gaming team appearing.
The commissioner, though she didn’t play this game, later worked in a job somewhat related to it, so she generally knew about various teams. She searched her memory and indeed found no trace of Jian Mo and the others, not knowing what had transpired in between.
She glanced at the few of them, making them feel a bit flustered under her gaze.
“Alright then, we’ll see how it goes when the time comes,” Jian Mo agreed. Since An had already mentioned it, she must have made arrangements, and besides, she would be watching, capable of remotely helping them with strategy just like being together in person.
Actually, they were curious about which team the coach had invited for their practice, but it seemed she wouldn’t say.
Ah Chen recalled something: “Does our team have a name? Even if we’re starting next year, we should do some preparations early.”
The others looked at Jian Mo, appearing as if they had already settled on a name.
Indeed, Jian Mo spoke up: “The name was thought of long ago; it’s called Canglan. Coach, what do you think? If you don’t like it, we can think of another.”
Ah Chen paused, neither saying it was good nor bad, but asked instead, “How did you come up with this name?”
“When we were initially confirming the name, everyone was thinking about it, but I suddenly thought of this name, and everyone else felt it was quite good,” Jian Mo said. He had significant sway, as he was essentially running the team, contributing both money and effort, often without needing Shen Xiaoju.
After all, he was really wealthy, with more money than he could spend in a lifetime, and he had no other hobbies, so he could freely pursue his dreams.
“I think the name is good; it sounds very grand,” Shen Xiaoju chimed in.
Ma Xuan quickly nodded: “The name Boss thought of can’t be wrong.”
“I’m terrible at naming things; when I heard the name ‘Canglan,’ I immediately felt the names I thought of were nowhere near as good,” Chi Fang said.
Xie Musheng added: “I also really like these two characters; they give a sense of surging momentum. Just thinking about competing under this name gets me excited.”
It appeared they were all quite satisfied with the team name.
Actually, Ah Chen was also quite satisfied.
“It’s pretty good,” Ah Chen said.
With those words, Jian Mo and the others felt relieved.
Even though yesterday, this coach of their age only helped with one round’s strategy, they realized the difference between professional and amateur efforts and valued her opinion greatly.
If she felt the name wasn’t good, even Jian Mo would seriously reconsider, though they truly loved the team’s name, especially Jian Mo.
For some reason, when he suddenly thought of these two characters, he felt a special sense of closeness.
Another reason everyone respected Ah Chen so much was that the materials she handed over to them yesterday were incredibly detailed. Not only were they categorized, but they also included explanations.
Thinking of this, someone asked, when did Ah Chen put together these materials? It must have taken a lot of time.
“These materials weren’t compiled by me; I had someone help out. You can call him Teacher Xiao Qi,” Ah Chen said after thinking it over. If she had other matters to attend to, she could have 997 keep an eye on things, let him interact and guide the team members online.
Upon hearing the new arrangement, 997 was very happy and subsequently added Jian Mo and the others as friends.
Then Jian Mo brought up the tutoring issue, although for some reason, they thought the coach’s expression showed some change.
Because just now, 997 had told Ah Chen he hadn’t taught before and wanted to try the experience.
“Your Teacher Xiao Qi is very good at teaching; he’s versatile. Do you want to try it out?” Ah Chen asked.
Really? Everyone was a bit shocked.
Jian Mo immediately reacted, since they hadn’t found a tutor yet, why not ask this Teacher Xiao Qi to give it a try? If he’s truly versatile, then hiring just one person would be convenient.
“Then I wonder when Teacher Xiao Qi would be available? If possible, I’d like him to help tutor all my team members’ subjects,” Jian Mo said, “Of course, we’ll pay market rate.”
[Host, your fragment here is quite good, actually willing to pay market wages.] 997 was even more pleased, [I have no objections!]
Even though objections wouldn’t matter, it sounded reassuring.
He’d already thought about how to spend his wages. Recently, he was also playing this world’s game, first deciding to buy all the skins he could…
Ah Chen found it amusing; anyone sensible wouldn’t let 997 work for free. Besides, this person was Jian Mo, this fragment was apparently quite wealthy in this world.
To experience the prowess of this tutor, 997, after lunch, they went to the rented apartment.
Turning on the computer, 997 started tutoring Chi Fang, beginning from middle school since he had muddled his way through it and needed to build a solid foundation first.
After a short tutoring session, Jian Mo and the others all felt that Teacher Xiao Qi was indeed very skilled. They followed along during the lesson and found it was very clear, easy to understand, and even Chi Fang didn’t zone out.
After it ended, they were left in a bit of a daze.
[Host, in the future, if you don’t want to earn money in the modern world, I can also do tutoring to support you. With my level, the tutoring fees would definitely be high.] 997 joked, since his host, even if not trying to earn money, wouldn’t lack funds with her reserves.
[Impressive, if that happens, I’ll rely on you.] Ah Chen praised generously, making 997 feel elated, with an urge to work hard.
In the afternoon, at school.
Pei Chen watched as Jian Mo walked into the classroom holding two bottles of water, naturally handed one to Ah Chen, and lowered his gaze, lost in thought.
Since making a fool of himself once before, Pei Chen hadn’t approached Ah Chen with questions again and spoke to her less often, silently competing with himself.
But facing An Chen, Pei Chen felt somewhat powerless.
She seemed to breeze through class, as if there was no question too difficult for her.
She handled math with ease, her English speaking was exceptionally perfect, showing no weaknesses.
With the midterm exams approaching, Pei Chen was feeling a bit anxious.
Even though he was confident in his grades, it wasn’t as if he could score full marks in every subject. However, he had a feeling that An Chen would likely achieve a stunning score in the midterm test.
In the past half-semester, the teachers occasionally gave small tests in various subjects. Except for literature, An Chen received full marks every time, and if the test had extra questions, she would do those too.
Pei Chen gripped his pen tightly, inexplicably feeling somewhat flustered.
Ah Chen noticed Pei Chen’s strangeness but didn’t intervene.
But she knew the matter with Pei Chen probably wasn’t over and that something might happen later. If she didn’t go looking for trouble, it would likely find her anyway.
To be honest, she couldn’t go causing trouble for Pei Chen at this point; it had to be him running into her.
