NOVPUBChapter 1111: Chapter 1111: He Really Loves Making Money_1 Chapter 1111 -1111: He Really Loves Making Money_1 “You don’t need to clean up after practice; we have staff dedicated to cleaning.
This includes student apartments, they’re all taken care of.” Billy Houston said, “Our students just need to focus on mastering their culinary skills.”
Unlike what happens when they start working in Restaurants later — where chefs should clean up —
That wouldn’t happen for students at the Academy under Pingla Corp.
Gradually, Pingla students begin their career at a higher level than most.
They won’t start as an apprentice after graduation.
At the very least, they would start as sous-chefs.
Even if they start at Restaurants under Pingla Corp., even newbies won’t have to handle cleaning, special staff will be responsible for that.
Everyone has their roles; there’s no so-called “pressure” or “tempering”.
...
If they open their restaurants, there won’t even be such an issue.
Therefore, within Pingla Academy, there’s no intention to make the students clean after themselves.
“Regular exams are held at the school.
Like typical schools, we’ve monthly tests, midterm exams, and final exams.” Billy Houston slapped his head, “I forgot, regular colleges don’t have monthly tests.”
“However, Pingla’s tests are strictly conducted.
It resembles high schools more, with the monthly tests, midterm, and final exams — as well as graduation tests.”
“The monthly exams used to calculate grades, so do midterm and final exams.
Sums of annually obtained points determine eligibility.
If the total score isn’t satisfactory, the lighter consequence is repeating a grade, and the more severe is a recommendation to drop out.
Therefore, not everything’s smooth-sailing in Pingla.”
“While we don’t expect students to handle chores, the school provides you with excellent conditions, allowing you to focus entirely on your culinary arts.
If you still can’t achieve good results in this scenario, then it’s unreasonable.” Therefore, Billy Houston believes that the recommendation to drop the student out in severe cases isn’t excessive.
Cindy Clarke nodded.
“But what if these practice rooms aren’t enough?
Or during exams, if students have secret weapons, or they don’t want others to see their food preparation?”
“Please follow me.” Billy Houston smiled.
They went up to the above level where Billy Houston introduced it as, “This floor is full of separate practice rooms.
You have to swipe your cards to enter.”
Cindy Clarke noticed that each practice room door has a card swiping device.
“These practice rooms have to be booked in advance and come with a usage fee, billed by the hour.” Billy Houston explained, “Otherwise, everyone would abandon the large practice rooms queueing up for these smaller, individual ones, and there wouldn’t be enough to go around.”
But Cindy Clarke suspected that in the end, it was all about Samson Zhekova finding ways to increase income.
She asked Adrian Zhekova, “I suppose this was also Samson’s idea?”
Adrian Zhekova suppressed his laughter and nodded with a quiet acknowledgment to Cindy Clarke, “Don’t underestimate Pingla Academy’s profit-making capabilities compared to companies like Majestic.
Beyond tuition fees, Pingla Academy has plenty more streams of profit.
Samson even managed to elevate the profits from simple things like shared bicycles.”
Cindy Clarke muttered under her breath, “No wonder you want to keep him busy with tasks.
Samson can work wonders when it comes to making money.”
Despite being fully aware of his money-making scheme, no one seemed to object to his methods.
This was indeed impressive.
In daily life, it is inevitable to encounter complaints during consumption.
For instance, the question “why is this so expensive?” or “why not rob us instead?”
Samson never rose such questions, though.
“Although Samson may seem lazy and disinclined to work, he would ensure his leisure time isn’t compromised by finding ways to improve his work efficiency.
Moreover, he enjoys making money”, Adrian Zhekova said.
“It’s a bit of a paradox.”
“He’s fine with work as long as his leisure time isn’t compromised.
Daily work must not exceed 8 hours.
Any extra workload shall never extend these 8 hours.”
“He firmly believes life is short and must not be wasted.
Rest should be sufficient, and one should have opportunities to appreciate the world’s beauty.
Work shouldn’t take all the lifetime away”, Adrian Zhekova further explained.
“As a result, he pays special attention to work efficiency, yet he insists on completing tasks excellently once he accepts them”, Adrian Zhekova said.
“Such an obsessive-compulsive disorder!”, Cindy Clarke commented./p>
Little did she expect the cheerful guest she met during the New Year celebration at the family mansion could have such a complex character./p>
Adrian Zhekova laughed in acknowledgment, “Yes, but he also loves to make money efficiently.
Or simply put, he really loves making money.”
“He doesn’t want to work long hours, yet he loves making money,” Cindy Clarke shook her head in admiration, “Samson is truly interesting.”
Adrian Zhekova held his laughter, and they kept whispering.
Billy Houston maintained a respectful distance and did not listen.
If there was anything along the way that he could introduce, he would stop to introduce it.
Without realizing it, they arrived at Student Apartments.
The overall architectural style of Pingla academy dictates the height of the Student Apartments.
They are all standardized four-story buildings, with architecture that is not too high and doesn’t look out of place.
The exterior is traditional Chinese style, but inside, it is fully equipped.
Though only a four-story building, it still comes with an elevator.
An automatic vending machine is installed on each floor.
They stock beverages to snacks covering a whole range.
All daily snack needs can be met.
“Most students do not live here and use it only as a rest area, so it’s usually very quiet and without much hustle.
Only during exams when students are busy preparing, they stay up late and live here.
So everyone still pays the accommodation fee, reserves a room just in case.”
“There are still many vacant apartments that will meet our needs.
Each unit has the same layout.
Later, I will show you the record to see which floors are empty.
Feel free to choose.” Billy Houston explained.
He found an empty apartment, opened it, and showed Cindy Clark and Adrian Zhekova.
The room was small but delicately furnished.
It was a one-bedroom and one-living room structure, equipped with a kitchen.
If the demand is not high, one can even prepare food in the apartment.
After familiarizing herself with the academy, Cindy Clarke chose an apartment on the second floor.
This situation, unlike the first floor, where people coming and going could see everything, was not too high and more convenient.
And since she doesn’t intend to live here regularly, it’s best used for resting.
Cindy Clarke’s requirements weren’t too high.
It was all part of the Pingla Corp.
anyway.
Things like tuition and accommodation fees are not required to pay.
All Cindy Clarke needs to do is take her bag and attend class.
As a guest student without an academic record, she needs access to Pingla’s amenities, and all relevant records must be kept.
After everything was sorted, Cindy Clarke, along with Adrian Zhekova and their child, left.
