A restaurant owner in Hunan hired a college student from a 211 university for 3,000 yuan as a summer worker, but the situation sparked widespread online discussion. The owner, Ms. Li, explained that she initially offered the position to help with odd jobs, but after realizing the student's academic background, she assigned him to tutor her daughter in English, math, and physics instead of doing manual labor. She also canceled a 12,000 yuan summer tutoring class she had previously booked.
Ms. Li responded to netizens who joked about a romantic pairing between the student and her daughter, including digitally editing wedding photos of the two. She stated that her daughter is still a minor and that such behavior is not just a joke but a crime. She expressed discomfort seeing these posts and said she would delete them immediately.
The incident, which went viral, highlighted the student's transition from a potential waiter to a live-in tutor, working from morning to night. Ms. Li clarified that she hired the student for the summer at a wage of 3,000 yuan, and the tutoring arrangement was a practical decision to use his skills, not a romantic setup.
