219: Chapter 219 The Intensive Competition in Education! Estimated Revenue of Tens of Millions!

Chapter 219: Education Involution! Estimated Income Over Ten Million!

Whenever a student jumped from a building, he often saw comments below saying things like today's students are too psychologically fragile...

Su Yang wanted to retort. A bunch of adults working 996 or 007 jobs have the nerve to whine and complain online.

Those students driven mad by the competition aren't any lower in terms of "labor intensity" than those on 996 or 007 schedules!

Moreover, students have extremely few outlets to release stress and are strictly controlled by their parents and schools.

Adults can slack off at work, go for foot massages after hours, or simply lie flat and give up if things get tough.

They claim they won't work for capitalists!

But as children, sometimes they are forced by their parents to study!

What's working 12 hours a day?

Some students sleep less than six hours a day!

Whether at home or at school, they are under surveillance, and it's hard to find a suitable excuse to slack off.

They are also frequently emotionally blackmailed by their families.

After all, in the eyes of many people in the country, dropping out is more abnormal than jumping off a building!

Even Su Yang, a grown man, felt a chill thinking about this!

And students are naturally not mature enough, both physically and mentally...

Qin Shuang continued, "Yesterday, I took Anan for an eye exam. His myopia has gotten worse!"

"Is it necessary to push so hard?"

"If you don't get into a good university, how can you find a good job later?"

"Does getting into a good university guarantee a good job?"

"..."

Su Yang looked at Qin Shuang and remarked, "Sister Qin, I feel like you have too much free time on your hands. Don't focus all your attention on Anan!"

Qin Shuang's smile gradually faded. "Are you criticizing me?"

"Of course!" Su Yang nodded frankly. "Doing this puts a lot of psychological pressure on Anan. You're not short of money. I think it's fine if he learns reasonably well. There's no need to kill himself over it. Wouldn't it be nice to live happily?"

In Su Yang's view, given Qin Shuang's wealth, there was absolutely no need to subject her child to such intense competition.

Anan, from birth, had already surpassed the vast majority of children in the country.

As for whether Qin Shuang would be unhappy with him saying this...

So what if she's unhappy!

Qin Shuang scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe I have a problem too... I just want Anan to become more outstanding!"

If anyone else had said this, she might not have listened!

But since Su Yang said it, she had to consider it seriously.

After all, Su Yang's abilities were indeed far superior to hers!

"A strong physique and a healthy mind... aren't those also forms of excellence?"

"I can't help myself sometimes... but I will think about it seriously!"

"Hmm!"

"By the way, does your little girlfriend like the gift I gave you?"

Qin Shuang timely changed the subject.

"She probably hates you to death right now!"

"How so?"

"She suggested I try it on you too!"

"Hahaha..."

After dinner, Qin Shuang took Su Yang to sing.

Her villa had a home theater room.

When the ambient lights were turned on, it really had that KTV atmosphere.

On the coffee table, there was red wine, beer, and washed fruit.

It was getting there!

When he was young, Su Yang had been taken to KTV by relatives to sing.

Back then, KTVs in county towns were still very popular.

But he was young at the time, not very outgoing, and rather shy.

Sometimes, when the atmosphere was right and he felt like singing, he found he couldn't grab the microphone at all!

She held the microphone, stared at the TV screen, and sang:

"Not caring to ask about your heart, my kiss, weary of my debt replacing the one you love, at this moment my heart falls like scattered petals... Like standing on a bridge under the scorching sun, tears streaming down, falling on my face... 'Tear Bridge'"

"Was it good?"

After finishing the song, Qin Shuang looked at Su Yang expectantly.

"Extremely good!" Su Yang applauded for her. "Interested in signing with our Spark Media? I feel you have great potential, the makings of a million-follower female streamer!"

Qin Shuang sang quite well; she had probably studied it seriously.

Her voice was soft and pleasant, full of emotion, and very distinctive.

She sounded better than most female streamers in variety shows.

"Being a streamer or something? I'll pass." Qin Shuang was also very pleased by Su Yang's lavish praise. "What song do you want to sing?"

"I want to hear you sing!"

"Alright!" Qin Shuang nodded. "Then I'll sing another one for you!"

The screen changed. Qin Shuang switched to a song called 'Resent the Heavens for Changing Their Mind'.

After the musical intro started, Su Yang heard her sing with deep emotion:

"If I were to meet you, and you were still young, I'd use the truest heart to exchange for your deepest affection!"

Qin Shuang turned and looked at Su Yang. Su Yang seemed to see something inexplicable in her eyes.

"If you were to meet me, and I were still young, I'd also believe eternity is an unchanging past; If I were to leave you, and you could be calm, I only wish for you to be at ease and not worry... Time and space separate us, not just a long road ahead; Feelings entangle, not just long hair flowing..."

Qin Shuang put down the microphone and asked, "Was it good?"

"Just singing a song, do you have to be so sentimental?"

Qin Shuang's singing had stirred something in his heart.

Qin Shuang leaned into Su Yang's arms without saying a word.

Seeing the atmosphere was off, Su Yang said with a smile, "Pick a song for me too. The songs you sing are too old!"

"Old? Then what do you want to sing?"

...

A minute later, Qin Shuang watched with a strange expression as Su Yang took a sip of beer, picked up the microphone, and sang:

"Don't look at me, I'm just a sheep, the green grass becomes more fragrant because of me, the sky becomes bluer because of me, the white clouds become softer because of me..."

But soon, Su Yang gave her a look, and she smiled, picked up the microphone, and joined in.

The two sang together:

"...No matter what problems come to hinder me, I won't feel heartbroken, no matter what dangers appear before me, I won't panic, even if a pack of wolves chases me, I'll treat it as a game, I love to be happy at all times, smiles will always soar, even if I fall, I'll get up and never be discouraged..."

As they sang, their gazes met and intertwined in mid-air.

Then, when the chorus part of the song arrived.

Qin Shuang simply stood up from the sofa and started dancing as she sang!

A kindergarten-style dance!

To be honest, at that moment, she really had the youthful vitality of a kindergarten teacher!

On Monday, Su Yang received news from Yi Jiangang over in Mountain City.

He had officially negotiated the acquisition price of the gym with the owner of Shanyue Fitness, settling on 800,000.

800,000 was the acquisition price Su Yang had instructed Yi Jiangang to aim for after the asset assessment!

Yi Jiangang had clearly done a good job.

After formally acquiring Shanyue, Yi Jiangang's team still had to negotiate the acquisition with the owner of another gym.

That gym, over a thousand square meters, had also passed Su Yang's "review".

Anyway, Spark Fitness was about to make a major entry into Mountain City!

Over at Meijia Housekeeping, they were continuously recruiting employees. The number of staff had now exceeded fifteen.

This afternoon, several nannies and cleaners would come for interviews, all recommended by Meijia Housekeeping's executives or other related professionals.

These nannies and cleaners at least had solid professional skills and were honest and reliable.

Meijia Housekeeping's base salary of two thousand, plus social security contributions, was still very attractive!

Once these people joined, Meijia could assign them work. Tu Zhiqiang and the others still had their channels.

However, to be safe, Su Yang definitely wanted to review them.

At the very least, their moral standards couldn't be too low.

As for Meijia Housekeeping's promotion, Tu Zhiqiang had already coordinated with the general managers of his other six companies. Those six companies would cooperate, specifically arranging promotion times and locations for them.

If their own employees used Meijia Housekeeping's domestic service personnel, they would definitely get a discount.

Of course, they wouldn't shortchange those domestic workers; Meijia could just earn a little less!

Tu Zhiqiang also planned to go to Spark Media for a face-to-face meeting with Yu Siying.

They might still need to use some of Spark Media's local promotion channels in Rongcheng.

As for Spark Media, in just half a month, nearly twenty signed internet celebrities had left, bringing in several million in breach penalties!

The reason was that Spark Media had cultivated another seven internet celebrities with over a hundred thousand followers in the first half of the month.

Moreover, several signed internet celebrities like Ou Li, who had left Spark Media earlier, were performing exceptionally well at their new companies.

Especially Ou Li!

Under Ronghua's vigorous cultivation, Ou Li's follower count had broken through to eight hundred thousand!

In terms of resource promotion, Spark Media still had a certain gap compared to big companies like Ronghua!

These early departures had practically become living advertisements for Spark Media!

Many MCN companies, seeing the performance of people like Ou Li, started eyeing Spark Media's signed internet celebrities with greed!

Spending four hundred thousand to poach a potential internet celebrity like Ou Li was an absolute steal!

Anyone could see that Ou Li had a very promising future!

And poaching people from Spark Media seemed to only require paying the breach penalty...

This was also what Su Yang wanted other MCN companies to see.

After all, those who stood out early and were noticed by other MCN companies...

were the ones Xinghuo had intentionally invested some resources in!

Jealous?

Good, be jealous!

Want to poach people?

Then pay the breach penalty!

However, operating this way did bring considerable pressure to Spark Media.

But Su Yang felt it was manageable. At least Spark Media's future looked bright.

The ordinary employees also seemed to be holding their breath, and their loyalty was gradually increasing overall!

And the several million in breach penalties received were quite sweet.

He estimated they could receive over ten million in breach penalties this month.

Over ten million could almost match half of his monthly income.

He didn't have any company yet that could generate over ten million in profit in a single month!
