Chapter 348: Chapter 3 Class and Roll Call

"This is your room, Teacher Lin."

Guided by a maid, Lin Sunzhu arrived at a south-facing room within the villa.

Looking at the carefully decorated room that was a spacious eighty square meters, Lin Sunzhu barely managed to suppress her expression of surprise.

"Teacher Lin, if you have any requirements regarding food and lodging, you can come to me. Just call me Xiaojue," the maid handed Lin Sunzhu a walkie-talkie, "Housekeeper Qin has asked me to serve you. If there’s anything, just use this walkie-talkie to contact me. There is absolutely no signal in this area, and mobile phones cannot connect to the internet; this is the only troublesome point."

"Hmm, alright, no problem." After all, Lin Sunzhu’s phone was filled with plenty of novels and dramas, and she was not worried about entertaining herself during her spare time.

Handing over a walkie-talkie, how thoughtful.

"Okay, good, Xiaojue, I got it."

"Also, Teacher Lin. I will bring dinner to your room at seven o’clock. If there is any additional food you’d like to eat, you should let me know now. As long as the request isn’t too demanding, we’ll do our best to meet it."

"This ... this, no need, I’m not picky about food."

"All right, if you change your mind, just use the walkie-talkie, switch to this frequency, and then contact me."

After Xiaojue left, Lin Sunzhu closed the door and, looking at the spacious room in front of her, said, "This place is just too ... big."

If her phone had been working, she would have immediately contacted her best friend to tell her everything that was happening here.

She lay on the bed large enough for two or three people and looked out the window next to her.

"The conditions really are good ... and if I do well, I can triple my earnings after a week, that is, one thousand and eight per hour for an individual ..."

But this was still too strange.

Could these children have an illness that prevents them from going outside? But that doesn’t seem right, either? Didn’t that young man earlier look perfectly normal, walking the dog in the courtyard?

"I don’t understand. With such a wealthy family that wants to pursue elite education, they shouldn’t be hiring someone like me to teach their children, should they? And no matter what, it’s totally unreasonable not to go to school at all, even without taking university entrance exams. Even if it’s distance education, they still have to go to school for assessments, right?"

Nowadays, many famous people try to acquire high educational credentials, like donating money to a university to become an honorary alumnus. Without a high level of education, even if one is a popular celebrity, they can easily be criticized as uneducated.

And what about the internal test papers and assessments?

She picked up the paper, which first detailed a weekly schedule of the courses.

The schedule not only listed the history and geography classes she was responsible for but also other courses.

Chinese, mathematics, and English need no further mention. In addition to these, there were also Spanish, art, music, physics, chemistry, etc...

"This schedule is packed, even with classes on Saturday. As a teacher, my daily dining, sleeping, and class times are very strict: not being late goes without saying, and extending classes is not allowed either. Every Saturday there is a random subject assessment ... I can only rest on Sundays."

So many courses, all taught by private tutors?

And to think, there’s even Spanish?

"Seven children, that must be quite hard on them. Having to learn so many courses in a week, taking exams every week, and dealing with rankings ..."

Doesn’t that mean the seven kids are essentially competing against each other? This way, sibling relationships are bound to become very bad, right?

"Hmm, I can’t figure it out. Well, I’ll get to know the kids when class starts tomorrow, see what they’re ..."

Then, she looked at the paper given to her by Housekeeper Qin.

It specifically described the teaching scope she was supposed to cover with the children. Although it said it wasn’t necessary to teach strictly according to the university entrance examination syllabus, it wasn’t much different, which at least wouldn’t leave her too frazzled.

She took out her laptop from her suitcase, opened it, and looked over the lesson presentation she had prepared in advance.

"Hmm, the first lesson tomorrow morning is history class, starting with modern Western history ... I wonder where the previous teacher left off?"

She now planned to adjust the lesson presentation a bit.

"That said, I wonder how they set their examination papers? Without knowing how they go about setting papers, I can’t teach the kids in a targeted manner, and I won’t be able to ensure they score highly."

Afterwards, she looked again at the paper provided by Housekeeper Qin.

Besides the schedule, there were other house rules to be aware of while living here.

Firstly, except during teaching hours, avoid any unnecessary private interactions with the children, especially one-on-one contact with any particular child.

Then there’s the rule that, during their stay, students are not allowed to visit any villas other than the one they reside in. Besides that, they can move freely around other areas of the courtyard during their free time outside of class.

The regulations during class time are even more critical. First, there’s roll call before class to ensure no student is late. At the same time, at the end of class, roll call must be taken again to ensure no student leaves early. After class, the roll call sheet must be handed over to the housekeeper in the villa.

The roll call records must not be neglected or falsified, not even once. Otherwise, immediate termination will be the consequence.

This rule left Lin Sunzhu quite puzzled. Was it really necessary to be this strict?

Nevertheless, since it was the rule, she would just follow it. Taking attendance wasn’t a big deal.

"Could it be that these students frequently arrive late or leave early? If they’re really that concerned, why not have a housekeeper watch over the class?"

She thought it would be better to take time to meet with the children’s parents for a discussion.

Next, she looked at the last line of the paper.

"If any child does any of the following things, please report it to Butler Qin immediately.

First, if any child cries in front of you, no matter how much they wail, as long as they are not crying, you shouldn’t worry about it.

Second, if a child tells you there is a problem with your attendance taking, but after careful verification you find no issues.

If either of the two situations arises, you must report it immediately without any delay. If your report is confirmed to be true, you will receive a reward of ten thousand yuan. However, do not ask anyone why this rule is in place; otherwise, we will have no choice but to terminate your employment."

This was too strange, wasn’t it?

If the children cry, she could understand that needing to be reported; it might be that the parents were worried about their children being under too much stress. The latter rule... perhaps they were concerned about the students covering for each other in cases of tardiness or early leave. But the thing was, there were only seven children in total, not a classroom of dozens. Even without roll call, she could simply count them to know if everyone was present!

"Better prepare the slides for tonight’s lesson."

Actually, she very much wanted to interact with the children before officially starting the lessons, but the rules prohibited her from doing so.

"Or should I meet with Butler Qin again and with the children and their parents later? I know nothing about the children’s situation now; just going into teaching like this... I’m afraid I won’t do a good job."

She sat in front of the vanity, staring at the slides on her computer screen with dismay.

At that moment, outside the window, the sun began to be gradually swallowed by the horizon.

Just then, she suddenly felt an urgent need to go to the restroom.

She hurriedly left the room, looking for someone to ask for directions to the restroom.

However, there was no one in the corridor at this time.

She had no choice but to try finding the restroom on her own.

After walking for a while, she realized just how surprisingly large the place was—she had actually gotten lost!

"How did I not pay attention to the route when I came..."

At that moment, she heard a voice.

"Are you certain she didn’t touch the business card?"

Ah?

That voice, it seemed to be Butler Qin’s?

Great, she could ask him where the restroom was.

Just as she was about to walk over, another voice came through.

"I’m certain."

"Good. Destroy it. Then, make sure this item never reappears within this estate."

A business card? What item?

Just then, a voice sounded from behind her.

"Ms. Lin, do you need something?"
