She trusted Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan, so she actually paid them a bit more and didn't strictly charge by the hour.
But as for other students, everyone had their little schemes in mind.
High academic and cultural levels didn't necessarily equate to good character.
Lu Youbang was an example.

If you wanted to slack off, then you earned less.
Hearing what Lu Youxi said, Teacher Song also thought of this and silently praised Lu Youxi for her intelligence and methodical approach.
She could provide job opportunities to students to help them out, but it wasn't purely out of charity.
"How many people do you need?" Teacher Song asked.
"For the internet café, we first need three administrators to work in shifts and one or two people responsible for cleaning and distributing boxed lunches," Lu Youxi said. "We'll need to look at the students' class schedules to determine the exact number of people."
