At this moment!
Ye Si Zhe’s motion of eating grapes suddenly froze there, his face was full of astonishment.
He thought to himself that he was just putting on an act, trying to be cool.
Why did this teacher actually leave?
“Hey hey!”
Seeing that Chu Yuan didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping, Ye Si Zhe was genuinely panicked now.
Where the hell did this teacher come from?!
He originally thought that he would give the new teacher a taste of his arrogance, so that he could have the upper hand in their interactions later on.
As a result!
It seemed like he only now realized that this fellow in front of him wasn’t playing by the rules!
His previous preparations for a big cry and tantrum!
It seemed?
He wouldn’t be needing any of them now?
At this moment, Ye Si Zhe no longer cared about eating grapes, he stood up and quickly chased after Chu Yuan.
He quickly called out to Chu Yuan, “Wait, don’t go yet.”
“I wonder what the young master has called me for? This one is still in a hurry to inform your esteemed wife that you don’t need this teacher!”
Chu Yuan smiled faintly.
“Ahem!”
The little fatty coughed dryly and said sheepishly, “It’s not necessary to rush to find my mother.”
He wasn’t stupid either.
This teacher had not even started teaching before being driven away by him. He would definitely be severely reprimanded by his mother later.
“After all, we can’t let the young master miss out on his grapes!”
“Since the young master has demands, and I can’t guarantee that you will become a high-ranking official, then this one will not take up the young master’s time anymore.”
He replied with a smile!
Chu Yuan was about to leave, which made Ye Si Zhe completely panic.
At least I, the young master, have tried to keep you, and yet you are leaving like this? You want to tell on me!
…
…
“Wait!”
“Just now, this young master was reckless with his words, please forgive me, sir, let’s continue chatting!”
The little fatty quickly flattered him.
At this moment, he was like a different person from the domineering figure he was before.
Chu Yuan turned his head!
He smiled with a hint of amusement on his face, saying:
“The young master, first you want me to leave, then you want me to stay, this puts me in a difficult position.”
Seeing that Chu Yuan wasn’t falling for it!
The little fatty’s attitude also softened, he then negotiated with Chu Yuan, “Sir, can’t you just discuss with me?”
“How about this, we each take a step back!”
“I won’t be so demanding, and when we’re in class, you have to listen to me, how about that?!”
In fact!
He didn’t really mind going to class, he just didn’t want to be disciplined and didn’t want to accept other people’s arrangements.
However!
Chu Yuan remained unmoved.
After listening to Ye Si Zhe’s suggestion, he turned around and continued to walk away:
“Young master, there’s no need to take a step back, it’s this one who is incapable and unable to meet your demands, so this one will just leave.”
At this time!
The two of them went through another round of pulling and tugging.
Finally, seeing that Chu Yuan was about to leave the backyard, Ye Si Zhe no longer dared to play around, he quickly called out to Chu Yuan: “Sir! Sir!”
He had to admit that the person in front of him was something else.
He was truly impervious to reason: “You don’t need to listen to me, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“Are you sure?” Chu Yuan asked with a smile.
In fact!
Dealing with a student with Ye Si Zhe’s personality, the best way was to be even more arrogant and rebellious than him.
“Sure, sure! Go on, what do you want to teach this young master?”
The little fatty was at a loss for words for a while.
At this moment, he could only surrender under Chu Yuan’s magic against magic.
In his imagination—
He was supposed to be the one who would persuade the teacher to leave, and then the teacher would be under his control, giving in to him, the young master of the Earl’s mansion, discussing everything with him.
As a result!
He didn’t know what went wrong.
Looking at the current situation, it seemed like the teacher in front of him was the one who had the upper hand.
What a disaster!
…
…
Soon.
Ye Si Zhe’s lessons began.
In fact!
Chu Yuan wasn’t planning on teaching anything today.
After all, this kid had “Uncooperative” written all over his face, and a hint of defiance lingered in his eyes.
In this situation!
Chu Yuan naturally didn’t want to do anything pointless.
He simply told him to stand there, then stretched out his back and leaned back on his reclining chair.
With a relaxed expression, he said, “You can think carefully about what you want to learn.”
After saying that!
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and leaned back on the reclining chair, looking like he was about to go to sleep.
He casually picked up the grapes that the little fatty hadn’t finished eating!
He stuffed them straight into his mouth.
He enjoyed himself with a carefree air, these grapes were really sweet!
“Sir, those grapes are mine!”
“Then should I leave?”
“It’s fine, eat them, there are more…”
“Stand properly!”
“Yes!”
This rapid-fire exchange of questions and answers, if anyone else were present, they would have been shocked.
They wouldn’t have expected that Ye Si Zhe, who was like a little tyrant at home!
Would have such an obedient day!
Seeing his grapes being quickly devoured, Ye Si Zhe’s chubby face…
It was as if he had put on a mask of pain!
To this!
Chu Yuan pretended not to see it.
He continued to provoke the little fatty, “You know, being your teacher is pretty good, I can lie down and sleep, and I get fifty taels a day.”
“Wait!”
This time Ye Si Zhe couldn’t keep calm, almost out of instinct towards money, his eyes widened instantly.
He asked Chu Yuan, “What did you say, fifty taels?”
“What’s all the noise about, can’t you see I’m trying to sleep?!” Chu Yuan smiled without looking at Ye Si Zhe.
He didn’t even open his eyes, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
“Don’t go to sleep!”
Ye Si Zhe shook Chu Yuan’s body, “Sir, quickly tell me, what is this fifty taels about?”
“What else could it be?”
“It’s of course the money for being your teacher!”
Chu Yuan smiled!
He opened his eyes and started to talk nonsense seriously, “Fifty taels a day!”
…
…
Afterwards!
When Ye Si Zhe learned that Chu Yuan could earn a daily wage of fifty taels just by staying with him for a day.
He was shocked.
Although he was young, as the son of the Minister of Revenue, he was in charge of financial matters.
He had an innate sensitivity towards money.
Therefore!
He had tolerated Chu Yuan coming to be his teacher.
He had tolerated him eating his grapes.
But…
A daily salary of fifty taels, he couldn’t tolerate it:
“Sir, is your mouth made of gold? Fifty taels a day, why don’t you go rob someone?!”
However!
Chu Yuan ignored him, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
“Sir, don’t go to sleep!”
Seeing that Chu Yuan was about to sleep again, Ye Si Zhe was instantly heartbroken.
This was fifty taels a day!
“Sir, I beg you, let’s start the lesson quickly, this money is making me feel sick!”
