Zhou Mo scored just 80 on the math section of the graduate school entrance exam. The mock-exam guy had crashed and burned.
People online laughed at him:
“Figures. The mock-exam guy was all talk. He’s been too scared to post his score for ages.”
He was crouched beneath a utility pole in a city village, chewing on a steamed bun, when he spotted a flyer:
“Turn yourself into a star teacher in three months! No experience needed, guaranteed employment!”
That night, the flyer flew into his head. Zhou Mo swore beneath the red glow of a lightbox:
“I’m going to make every parent in this city kneel down and pay me!”
Three months later, he stood at the lectern, hyping up the multiplication table as the code of the universe.
The parents in the audience furiously took notes: “Teacher Zhou’s lessons are so profound!”
