  Xiao Yu quickly exchanged ideas with Ying Min and Qin Lulu during the few minutes of preparation time before class.

  "Zhang Xiaoyu, is this okay?" Ying Min and Qin Lulu were somewhat perplexed by Xiao Yu's changes. Although there weren't many changes in their dialogue, it completely lost the original neat sentence structure.

  "Don't worry! Actually, everyday English conversation should be natural and simple. The dialogue designed by Teacher Li is too rigid and doesn't conform to real-life situations."

  "Hmm, Zhang Xiaoyu, didn't expect that, you're actually quite talented! Alright, let's change it to this!" Qin Lulu thought she should support her own recommendation, Zhang Xiaoyu, but she wasn't sure where her confidence came from.

  Ying Min thought that Qin Luolu had no opinion, anyway, she and Qin Luolu didn't change much in their lines, the biggest change was Xiaoyu's dialogue, so there wasn't much of an opinion.

  Both of their English speaking skills are very good, and they immediately memorized the revised parts.

  The public class has officially started.

  It was probably because Teacher Li had rehearsed with the students beforehand, so at first they seemed to know what they were doing. When she asked questions, all the students raised their right hands eagerly to answer.

  In fact, the students who answered questions were all arranged by Teacher Li in advance, and even the answers to the questions had been copied for the students. Teacher Li was very careful about this open class.

  The leaders of the Education Bureau nodded secretly, while the English teachers from other middle schools were all aware of this trick. It can deceive the leaders, but in the eyes of colleagues, it is obviously somewhat laughable and pitiful.

  Those four foreign teachers were even more unenthusiastic, and foreigners' teaching has always been known for its high degree of freedom. This kind of teaching, which is clearly marked with the scars of hacking, really makes people feel ridiculous and boring.

  And Teacher Li's English pronunciation also carries a strong Chinese accent, which doesn't sound out of place to Chinese ears, but sounds somewhat incongruous to native English-speaking foreigners.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second, and the open class is proceeding smoothly.

  "Classmates, now we are going to do a situational dialogue practice. Shanghai is currently hosting the World Expo, and I want three of you to come up and act out a scene. One person will play the role of a World Expo volunteer, one person will play the role of a foreign guest, and the last person will play the role of an ordinary Shanghai citizen. The theme is - asking for directions. I have written down the general plot on the big screen, which classmate is willing to come up and try it out?"

  The classmates unanimously raised their hands, they were already used to this kind of brain-dead public class. Considering that Teacher Li was not bad to them usually, they could only cooperate with him. After all, it was just raising their hands, and they wouldn't really be picked themselves.

  "Qin Lulu! Come and act as a volunteer for the Expo!"

  "Act sharp! Come and play the role of a Shanghai citizen!"

  "Hey, Zhang Xiaoyu! Come and play the role of a foreign guest!"

  When he called out Zhang Xiaoyu's name, Teacher Li couldn't help but pause for a moment, and silently let out a sigh in his heart.

  Three students walked up to the front desk, and the teachers in the back row who were listening to the class also perked up, wanting to hear what this situational dialogue was all about.

  The first one to speak was Xiao Yu. He played the role of a foreign guest who had just arrived in Shanghai, wanting to take the subway to the World Expo, but got lost on the way and wanted to ask a local for directions.

  Xiao Yu's English was so good that the teachers who were listening to the class couldn't help but secretly praise him, and even the four foreign teachers who were almost falling asleep opened their eyes wide, this young man's American accent was really authentic!

  Mr. Li was thrilled, unexpectedly finding Zhang Xiaoyu's oral English to be so good, it could be said that Zhang Xiaoyu's oral English surpassed his own by a large margin, although he was unwilling to admit it.

  Moreover, Teacher Li discovered that Xiao Yu's lines were not what he had written beforehand. What was going on?

  At this time, the Shanghai citizen played by Qin Lulu came over and enthusiastically helped the foreign guest with directions, but because the route was too complicated, it ended up confusing the foreign guest even more.

  Xiao Yu's portrayal of a foreign guest was very funny and elicited bursts of laughter from his classmates.

  Teacher Li listened and became even more perplexed. Qin Lulu's dialogue, although still conveying the same meaning she had written, seemed to be yet not quite right, but sounded much smoother and more natural. Had she received guidance from a superior?

  At this time, Yingmin, who played the role of a World Expo volunteer, walked over and offered to guide the foreign guest to the Expo.

  Foreign guests gave a thumbs up and praised the organizing work of the World Expo.

  The situational dialogue ends here.

  This conversation scene not only made the leaders of the Education Bureau and the Chinese teachers who listened to the class secretly admire, but also made the four foreign teachers nod frequently.

  These days they have listened to a lot of public classes, but they have never heard such natural and fitting situational dialogues. Especially the oral English of the male student who played the role of foreign guest left a deep impression on them.

  After the open class, Teacher Li was praised by the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau and the school leaders were also beaming with joy, praising Teacher Li highly. This year's advanced teacher award is likely to be a sure thing.

  When drinking water, one should think of its source. Mr. Li was naturally delighted with the three of them and not only often used his spare time to give them special treatment, but also wanted to exempt Wang Tao from representing the English class, letting Xiao Yu take over instead.

  Xiao Yu declined Mr. Li's kind offer, his mind was preoccupied with the decoration of the new store.

  Xiao Yu spent 100 yuan on paint and together with Da Niu painted the first floor wall of the teahouse.

  The tables and chairs in the tea house were left behind by the previous owner, and the rental company left them all to Xiaoyu. These are all available resources, and Xiaoyu will not give them up.

  Although these tables and chairs are all cheap, they also cost a lot to add up. At least they are much better than those in the wholesale market, and on one side of the wall of the tea house, there are sofa seats similar to train seats, which are very comfortable to sit on.

  Because the teahouse also sells some simple food, so in the kitchen behind, there are also stoves and other equipment. Xiaoyu spent another 1,500 yuan to buy a second-hand refrigerator and put it inside.

  The second floor of the teahouse was a vacant space, and the original owner didn't utilize it due to poor business. Xiaoyu wanted to make use of this space, dividing it into several reading rooms with private compartments, some of which would serve as dormitories for employees, while the rest would be reserved for other uses.

  Many migrant workers who do renovation work gather at the entrance of the wholesale market. Xiao Yu asked Lao Zhang to help find two workers from Hubei, and they agreed on a price of 2,000 yuan for the labor and materials, including the partition and door for the second floor.

  This decoration does not require moving the basic structure of the house, so it was easy for the two to do it quickly, and they only spent two days' effort to separate the rooms on the second floor.

  There are a total of eight rooms, four on each side, with four bright and four dark rooms. Each room is about 10 square meters in size, separated by a corridor, and the remaining space is used as a living room. To ensure good air circulation, each room is also equipped with an exhaust fan.

  Xiao Yu spent 500 yuan, and for the four rooms, he added second-hand Simmons mattresses, desks, chairs and other simple living equipment. He let his apprentices occupy one room each, and left the last one for himself.

  After the new store opens, there will definitely be all sorts of things waiting to be handled, and it's more convenient for me to live in the store. Old Zhang naturally has no objection, and as a godson starting his own business, he will of course lend his full support.

  As for the shops in the wholesale market, Xiao Yu found Li Dama and his gang, wanting to transfer the shop to them. This group of people had been setting up stalls outside and were chased by city management all over the streets, they had long wanted to find a more stable place.

  Although Xiao Yu's shop was a bit small and the location was biased, the popularity had already been cultivated. The business of fried dough sticks in the morning alone could make a lot of money, and the rent was very cheap. Li Dama Zi was naturally overjoyed and happily gave Xiao Yu 1,000 yuan as a deposit, and they went through the formalities together.

  The moving day was on Saturday, Xiao Yu borrowed a tricycle from Li Tou, the fish seller, loaded the necessary items and luggage of Zhou Xin and others, let Da Niu pedal it, while he and Zhou Xin took the bus to rush to the new store.

  "Boss, that store used to be so good for business, what a pity it was abandoned!" Tao Hong said regretfully to Xiao Yu on the bus.

  She has worked in several restaurants, but she has never seen such a good business. Can the new store's business really be better than the old one?

  Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, "Xiao Hong Jie, this popularity is created, not waited for."

  This entrepreneurial hardship is something Xiao Yu deeply understands. This time, signing a new store can be said to be a desperate move for Xiao Yu.

  The shop in the wholesale market has been transferred, and he has no way out. After paying 4,000 yuan for rent and decoration expenses, there are only more than 3,700 yuan left in his hands. If this new store can't make a living, not only will he lose everything, but Zhou Xin and several others will also lose their jobs.

  Zhou Xin saw Xiaoyu say a word, and then fell into deep thought. Her heart couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. She was very clear about the pressure on this boy's shoulders, and she admired his courage.

  Ever since that intimate contact in the small compartment, every time she saw him, he would subtly and intentionally keep a distance from her. A girl's heart is the most sensitive, and she immediately noticed this.

  "Alas, I didn't actually blame him... " Zhou Xin lowered her head, it was that day when something really happened between her and Xiao Yu, but it was also a case of both being equally at fault. Xiao Yu hadn't forced her or anything, afterwards, she had even taken the initiative."

  These days, there's a joke that if you want to find a virgin, you'd have to go to kindergarten. But Zhou Xin was indeed a genuine virgin. She didn't necessarily want to save her chastity for her future husband; she just hadn't met someone she liked yet.

  Sometimes at night, she thought that if Xiao Yu had taken her that day, she wouldn't have been at a loss. She could tell that Xiao Yu was definitely a virgin, but why did he stop abruptly that day? Was it because she didn't look good enough? Was it because her figure wasn't good enough? This made Zhou Xin puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

  Three people were each lost in their own thoughts as the bus arrived at Tianlin Road.

  After getting off the bus, walk a few steps to the left, and you will see Xiao Yu's new store.

  After Xiaoyu rented the store, Zhou Xin and Tao Hong came for the first time. When they saw Xiaoyu take out the key to open the door of the store, they were both stunned. Is this really Xiaoyu's new store? Its scale is simply incomparable to that small stall in the market.
