What, to save money? Gong Ruini was shocked, "They don’t plan on not paying, do they?"

Although Gong Ruini rarely went to tutoring classes, her legend had been widely spread in circles for a long time.

It’s said that as long as a student was tutored by Gong Ruini, unless they were hopelessly stupid, their grades would really improve significantly.

So to have Gong Ruini come out and tutor their children even a bit, the stakes had to be quite high.

If Gong Ruini wasn’t currently so driven by a pursuit of money, with a tutoring school wanting her to lead it, she might indeed pick up the teaching baton again for the sake of money.

"They think they can offer that? Even if I’m resting at home, I wouldn’t take it," Gong Ruini said angrily.

One must know that when it comes to compensation, once the price goes down, raising it back up is really not easy.

"Are they from a powerful background?" If they have a powerful background, Gong Ruini doesn’t mind giving a discount, considering it an investment.

Having strong connections is arguably better than just getting money.

"Powerful background?" Gong Ruwen snorted a few times.

"If they were really from a powerful background, they’d be careful in all ways not to get caught in such a situation."

In this, Gong Ruini felt he was quite right. The more established a family is, the less likely they are to make such jokes.

After all, as long as you have confidence and reputation, the family will eventually have a day to rise again.

But once the reputation is ruined, trying to rise again from the bottom is really difficult.

Or, while behaving shamelessly, have you really offended a batch of people, and when the time comes for retribution, won’t they eagerly step on you once more?

They’ll definitely make those who behaved disgracefully regret it all sorts of ways.

"These people are relatives of the Chu Family. Saying they have status, they aren’t very strong."

"Saying they have no status, yet they couldn’t possibly marry into the Chu Family."

Gong Ruini understood, these are the kind of people Chu Ling, the jewel of Old Sir Chu’s hand, wouldn’t even bother to look at.

Gong Ruini could already anticipate Chu Ling’s reaction, it was absolutely eye-rolling worthy.

"Yeah, I knew you, my sister, understood Chu Ling." Gong Ruwen actually wanted to advise Chu Ling not to be so extreme, "After all, they’re relatives."

Look, look, my big brother is being silly again, "Are they trying to take advantage?"

"Yes, they’re trying to take advantage, but they’re also trying to disgrace Chu Ling." Gong Ruini was initially annoyed, feeling these people’s actions were disrespectful towards her,

But after hearing about their relation to the Chu Family, she started to understand, "They’re testing me."

"Testing our bottom line, seeing if we’d do anything for money."

Gong Ruini really didn’t understand why, knowing money is a good thing, so-called businesspeople were still looked down upon in various ways.

Even if their family’s current status and when they first arrived in Beijing, and even if Zhao Gang and others when they just graduated are different, to some upper-class people, they were still seen as lowly people.

Gong Ruini suddenly became really worried for Gong Ruwen, if it’s really as he said, because there aren’t many in the Chu Family showing him a good face, why are there still people constantly scheming against him?

Well, that’s what those people are thinking, so they really have few scruples in how they act.

Gong Ruwen gave a wry smile, "When I’m with Chu Ling, they think it’s because I’m scheming."

"They think I beguiled Chu Ling." Gong Ruwen couldn’t help but get angry, although he was the proactive one, but would he have acted like this without Chu Ling’s hints?

That’s absolutely impossible, and Gong Ruini isn’t stupid enough not to see it, "Thanks to Chu Ling saying she’s preparing to take a foreign language major in college."

"Not planning to attend a military academy, otherwise, even if she’s the apple of the old man’s eye, it would have alarmed quite a few people." Under Chu Ling’s guidance, Gong Ruwen had really improved a lot in gauging people.

At least he wouldn’t be as clumsy as before, always thinking there were a lot of good people, no, he should feel there were many good people among relatives, now he knows that was all wishful thinking.

"Connections are scarce, if given to Chu Ling, it means others have no chance." Gong Ruini was really a bit anxious, now that someone has stepped in, she doesn’t know how they’ll make trouble, finding ways to humiliate Gong Ruwen.

Once losing face in front of Old Sir Chu, won’t those who were already prepared be happy?

"Let them think what they want, I don’t care, because I have no image to maintain."

Ah, what does this mean, is my big brother getting cocky in front of Old Sir Chu? If it were Gong Ruzhi, Gong Ruini might believe it, but as for Gong Ruwen, who would?

"I just think, in some matters, his views are a bit outdated." Gong Ruwen truly doesn’t think he’s an arrogant person.

Alright, Gong Ruini took back her previous words, if it were Zhao Guangran, he definitely wouldn’t say such things in front of Old Sir Chu.

"Sis, don’t worry, I know what to do." Seeing his sister’s worried face, Gong Ruwen originally wanted to brag a bit more.

But now he doesn’t have time to brag, it’s better to quickly explain the reasons for his actions.

"Each one of them is flattering the old man, and I think this shouldn’t be the way. Otherwise, letting the old man only see their good and obedient side will only make him more closed off."

"I directly tell the old man about the situations outside, whether good or bad." Gong Ruwen said what he had was honesty.

Oh, my honest big brother, the Chu Family members don’t want to be the villain, and it turns out my big brother takes on the role instead.

"Don’t worry, the old man sees it all."

"Otherwise, how could the old man guide me for so long?"

Really? Gong Ruini found it really hard to believe what her brother said, really couldn’t bring herself to trust,

"You clearly said before that the Chu Family treats you well." Gong Ruini meant clearly, her distrust was because her brother fooled her.

Sigh, Gong Ruwen was speechless, "Actually, it’s not bad, but his uncle’s son didn’t get promoted this time, so they felt it was because of me."

Gong Ruwen didn’t want to say more, lest it upset the family, especially why Zhao Guangran broke up with Cao Na, it’s because the Cao Family would only cause Zhao Guangran grievances.

Gong Ruwen was also worried if his family were concerned he’d be unhappy in the Chu Family, they’d want to make a fuss.

If they really made a fuss with the Chu Family, it would just make everyone feel like they had a fool running the house.

Gong Ruini didn’t understand how the Chu family’s grandson not getting promoted was related to her big brother.

Even if his achievements were good, shouldn’t he start from the grassroots in a unit?

This routine shouldn’t be a problem for Gong Ruwen, but when it comes to advancing further, will the Chu Family be willing to step in?

"Jealousy, I guess." Gong Ruwen told a cold joke.

Gong Ruini really didn’t find it funny at all, "Brother, be honest."

Helpless, Gong Ruwen could only be honest, what could he do otherwise.

"Huh, so they think just because they’ve been there long enough, they’ll be promoted?" Gong Ruini thought they’d achieved some great merit, so they were sure they’d get promoted, but it turned out to be mere lineup play?
