"Xiao Meng? What are you doing? Why is it so noisy?" the sound of a heavy bass mixed with noise came from the other end of the phone.

"What? I can’t hear you?! I’ll tell you when I get back!"

Staring at her phone for a while, she gave up and decided to play her little game instead. Just as she was about to open it, an unfamiliar number called in.

"Hello, are you Miss Mu Bingtong?" A gentle voice, like a customer service from 10086.

"That’s me."

Was the call about having her cover a class? As a coach?

Anyway, she was just going to spend the summer doing nothing, so she might as well find something to do and make some extra money!

"Hello, I’m Mu Bingtong!" After announcing my name, the front desk immediately led her to the second floor.

The door was half-open, and someone inside was talking. One of the voices sounded very familiar. Who could it be?

"Let’s leave it at that, I have something else to do, I’ll go first."

At the same time, the receptionist knocked on the door, and as it opened, a familiar figure stood up from the sofa and looked toward the door—Chu Ge?!

She stared with her mouth open in surprise. How could Chu Ge be here?

"Why are you standing there dazed? Hurry and come in!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Say hello to the principal first," Chu Ge introduced the middle-aged man opposite.

"Hello, Principal."

"No need to be so formal, Lady Mu."

"Principal Li, please take care of Mu Bingtong," Chu Ge said to the middle-aged man, "Can I borrow Mu Bingtong for a moment?"

"..." What’s with the ’borrow’? She’s not a commodity!

"This summer, don’t wander around aimlessly, just focus on being your Coach An here."

"Why are you here?"

"Stop trying to change yourself, you don’t have to force yourself to wear dresses. One day, you’ll wear them naturally," she recalled his nagging from a few days ago####

"Why are you here?"

"Be good. Next month, I’m going abroad for half a month, so I might not have much time to call or video chat with you."

"You’re going abroad?"

"Yeah."

"Why are you here?"

"..."

Why wouldn’t he answer her question? Forget it. After seeing off Chu Ge, she returned to the Children’s Palace. The staff inside looked really familiar, and everyone greeted her with a smile. I think I’ll have a great time here?!

"Mu Bingtong, let me show you around first." Is Principal Li personally leading the way??

Little her felt flattered and surprised. The Children’s Palace is so big; it must cost a lot to train here, right? Kids these days aren’t easy to compare with.

"Any questions?" Principal Li asked.

"No, no," she quickly waved her hand.

She was just very curious about her tutoring fee, but seeing Principal Li’s enthusiasm, she was embarrassed to ask.

She looked down, tapping her fingers together.

"As for your tutoring fee..." Principal Li was about to say when the phone interrupted him.

Who is it, so lacking in awareness! Principal Li’s sucking-up face while answering the phone looked so much like kissing up!

"Mr. Chu, rest assured, I’ll handle it, alright, alright, alright, yes, alright!"

Chu Ge?

This salary is a bit too high, isn’t it?

Principal Li, are you sure you didn’t miss a zero?

I originally thought it was just a few hundred bucks...

"Mu Bingtong, let’s leave it that way today, and officially start teaching tomorrow, okay?"

They’re actually asking for her opinion!?

"Of course, she can even teach today."

After bidding farewell to the principal, she went to the Taekwondo Room, where training was underway. All ages were present.

The coach inside noticed her and had a child run over to open the door for her.

"Anything I can help with?" the coach asked.

"Master!" Her mentor!

"Mu Bingtong?" The coach recognized her too.

The coach was her mentor, who taught her for eight years. They have a deep bond, that’s undeniable, but now there’s an added talisman. The coach said he felt like he didn’t dare to recognize her just by looking, and recognized her by her voice.

She told him she would start working here part-time tomorrow, and the coach said now he could be a little lazy.

Oh, what a nice day, bumping into Chu Ge and seeing her mentor...

"Xiao Meng, why did you call?" Looks like this girl finished her work.

"Didn’t you call me this morning?"

"Oh right, what were you doing this morning? It was so noisy."

"My cousin got married today, quickly tell me what you need, I’m still busy here, and calling you is not just for chatting." Haha, this kid!

"Nothing now!" Of course, it’s nothing, I saw her Chu Ge, and I know he’s been busy lately, too, "Let me tell you..."

Before she could finish, the call was hung up!

Just like Fang Huai! Loves to hang up on her!

She went home and told her parents about it, and they thought she’d run into a scammer. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Even if there were, it wouldn’t happen to their daughter.

The next day she quietly left home and went to the Children’s Palace, thinking she’d show her skills and impress the little brothers and sisters. Instead, she was told she didn’t have to do anything today, just watch how the coach did it. Her mentor looked helpless too. She spent the whole day just sitting and watching them. Suddenly, a little boy ran over, "Sister, why are you always sitting? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

"No, sister has nothing to do, so she just sits here."

"Can sister fight too?"

"Yes, I can."

"Then let’s come and fight together." With that, he grabbed her hand with his little hand.

Thinking about just sitting like this, it’s really not quite right. She was almost bored to mold, quickly mingling with the kids. The following days repeated the same thing, she had to ask the principal clearly!

Passing by a classroom, she suddenly heard someone mentioning her name. Curiosity made her stop by the door, just as she was about to push in, she heard someone inside saying, "Since when did our Children’s Palace start keeping loafers?"

Loafers?

"Exactly, you see that new girl, Mu Bingtong, she’s just showing off as Mr. Chu’s girlfriend, not doing any work, yet receiving the same salary as us."

"Keep your voice down; this was specially arranged by the principal."

Mr. Chu’s girlfriend? Chu Ge? So that’s how it is.

She angrily went to the principal’s office.

"Principal, why haven’t I been given any tasks after being here for a few days?"

"Your task is to ensure the children’s safety, you know."

"..."

"Don’t worry, Mu Bingtong, we won’t shortchange you."

"Principal, I’m quitting!"

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"Ah, Mu Bingtong, everything can be discussed, you want to teach, right? I’m just afraid those little kids might make you angry."

"Principal! I have the confidence and ability to teach every student well. Besides, you wouldn’t want a loafer attracting criticism for the company, right?"

The principal’s face clearly tensed for a moment, pondered a while, and slowly said, "Alright, just afraid Young Master Huang Pu might blame..."

"I’ll take the responsibility!"

She wanted to show those who badmouthed her that she did have real skills.

"Miss Mu, bring a detailed resume tomorrow, I’ll take a look at the situation first."
