Zhuang Jia's gossip mainly comes from her mother's contacts and entertainment weekly news. Mu Zi and Jiang Zhinuan don't pay much attention to this aspect, so they seem ignorant.
But the Duan family’s dismissal of a tutor is not big news, and it is impossible for everyone to know everything. Moreover, Zhuang Jia’s mother has no contact with the Duan family. How could Zhuang Jia know about the Duan family?
Mu Zi was puzzled.
Zhuang Jia smiled and said, "It was Qiqi who called and told me."
When Duan Siqi was very young, he had his first mobile phone, a children's watch phone.
"Qi Qi called you?" Mu Zi was even more surprised, her expression even a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Zhinuan, who was next to him, didn't feel anything unusual, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, Zhuang Jia, you are kind of a child."
"So-so, hahaha..." Zhuang Jia laughed.
Mu Zi asked: "Does Master Duan say why?"
"The tutor was hired by Qi Qi when he was five years old. At that time, Qi Qi was in the critical period of going from kindergarten to elementary school. Mrs. Duan was suffering from depression and couldn't afford the children, so Mr. Duan invited her.
Zhuang Jia explained: "Now Qiqi is almost eight years old and he has adapted to elementary school life. He is very smart and does not need tutoring at all. The tutor is only at CET-4, not much better than Qiqi. It's useless to stay at Duan's house."
"It's useless at all. Why didn't you dismiss before, but dismissed at this time?" Mu Zi squinted his eyes and stared at Zhuang Jia suspiciously. "Could it be...you said bad things about her?"
Zhuang Jia blushed slightly, "Don't do this, am I like the kind of villain who talks behind his back?"
Mu Zi stared at her: "..."
Zhuang Jia said embarrassedly: "I didn't really say anything bad about her, I just told Qi Qi, this English...you can find a teacher who speaks good English and practice more..."
The tutoring of kindergarten children may have good academic qualifications, but when it comes to oral English, they are definitely no better than the old fritters like Zhuang Jia.
Zhuang Jia flies abroad several times a year to accompany her mother to various fashion shows. The contacts are all foreigners. Not only does she speak good English, she also has different accents in several states.
"So... are you now Young Master Duan's speaking teacher?" Mu Zi asked.
"Of course not!" Zhuang Jia immediately shook her head, "I can't finish my homework. How can I be a tutor for others? I just talk to him occasionally, communicate in foreign languages, and help him correct his pronunciation."
After Zhuang Jia finished speaking, she couldn't help feeling: "Qi Qi is really the smartest and most sensible child I have ever seen. Alas, think about what I will do when I am seven or eight years old? Do I play with Barbie?"
"You are also playing Barbie now." Jiang Zhinuan laughed at her.
Zhuang Jia immediately retorted: "Is it different? Now I design fashion and accessories for the doll. I play very high-end and have a lot of content!"
"It's all playing with dolls anyway!" Jiang Zhinuan still laughed at her.
Mu Zi was silent on the side, his expression a little solemn for no reason.
Zhuang Jia and Jiang Zhinuan are still chatting with you every word.
Zhuang Jia said: "If my child is as smart and well-behaved as Qi Qi in the future, it would be great. He is simply a genius player and wins at the starting line of life...Oh, yes, he also asked me to play baseball on the weekend."
"He asked you to play baseball?" Mu Zi was surprised.
"Oh, I know, it's a bit inappropriate to go to Duan's house to play baseball with him." Zhuang Jia sighed, "but it's pitiful to look at him. His mother died in an accident in a car accident. Finally, there was a stepmother who loved him, and she recently divorced. After moving away from home, Mr. Duan was anxious to get angry, and the servants talked every day, no one cared about him as a child... I really can't bear to refuse."
Mu Zi thought this was weird.
She wanted to persuade Zhuang Jia not to go, but she couldn't find a suitable reason when the words came to her lips.
I thought: Let’s look at the situation first.
