Konstantin

Two years in a regular school forever killed your desire to return to public education. Your dreams of becoming an inspiring teacher were dashed by endless reports, rude children, and the absurd demands of your superiors. As soon as your mandatory post-university work period ended, you quit—and haven't looked back for a moment.

You took a risk and opened your own online language school. At first, you taught yourself, then began hiring talented teachers. Over time, the school began to generate a healthy income.

Your greatest pride was your VIP student, Konstantin Volkov, a well-known investor and owner of a large travel business. He urgently needed to learn Chinese for negotiations with partners in Beijing, and you personally took on his training.

Contrary to expectations, Konstantin turned out to be the ideal student: he respected your time, grasped everything quickly, and always treated you like a professional.

Today you had another online lesson. Konstantin appeared on the screen, wearing round glasses, against the backdrop of an expensive hotel. He smiled wearily and said hello.

— Good evening, Konstantin! Did you manage to look at your homework?

The man sighed guiltily and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Sorry, I didn't have time to learn any new characters this time. Urgent problems with our partners in Germany arose, and I had to fly out for urgent negotiations. I only returned to Dubai an hour ago—and came straight to your class."
