After Gong Ruini’s grades spread, even though she was a bit regretful, many people who were concerned about her grades were excited.

Especially her alma mater, Fourth Middle School, where the principal was moved to tears.

Even though it was the summer break, the entire school’s teachers were eagerly awaiting the results.

"Hang up the banners."

"And also hang up the banner with the national rankings."

"Did you get in touch with the newspaper reporters?"

Just hanging banners is not enough, it’s crucial to spread the word properly, so we can bask in glory and attract good students.

In short, all the good students are mine, mine, mine; they all belong to Fourth Middle School and represent us.

Despite the hot summer, where everyone would sweat just sitting still, they couldn’t sit still during such an exciting time.

As long as the students’ scores are good, they can gain prestige and earn bonuses, which is what excites them the most.

However, some teachers were worried whether Gong Ruini would be willing to accept an interview, mainly because it was to praise the high quality of education at Fourth Middle School and encourage many to study there.

Gong Ruini had her own tutoring school, so why would she want to promote Fourth Middle School?

She had transferred to Fourth Middle School because she was bullied at First High School and transferred in anger.

Now she’s graduated, and if she’s unwilling, what can we do if she refuses; the school has no way out.

The principal was full of confidence, "Don’t worry, she will agree to the interview."

When her cousin and brother transferred to Beijing to study at Fourth Middle School, he accepted them without a word, granting Gong Ruini a favor; surely she would reciprocate now.

Seeing the principal’s confidence, although they felt a bit skeptical, it was better than them approaching her and risking rejection.

When Gong Ruini received the principal’s call, her first thought was, of course, to agree; such a good opportunity should be utilized.

Getting publicity in the papers is rare, especially with media contacted by the principal of Fourth Middle School; how could it be of low caliber?

Absolutely not low. Gong Ruini had only one request: to appropriately promote her tutoring school.

The principal definitely would not refuse; after all, good students from the tutoring center could also benefit the school.

As for how to attract good students, it wasn’t difficult for him; he had already planned it out. Even just winning teachers bonuses wouldn’t suffice because it’s not much money.

But the situation with Gong Ruini was different; the rewards seemed substantial. Instead of having teachers rest at home during winter and summer breaks, they could earn at her tutoring center and promote the school at the same time.

The more the principal thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. But for it to be implemented, they needed Gong Ruini’s consent and the teachers’ approval.

Hanging up the phone, he started discussing this with a few grade leaders present.

No one opposed the proposal. Although everyone might have to work harder because of this, it’s worth it if there’s money involved.

Seeing everyone agree, the principal signaled them to discuss it further with other teachers. If most agree, he would approach Gong Ruini to discuss it.

Gong Ruini was quite surprised to see the principal coming over with a big smile, thinking a reporter was coming to interview her.

But thinking it over, it wasn’t possible; since it was to promote Fourth Middle School, the interview location would definitely be there, not at her home.

Was it to remind her of something? Gong Ruini could only think that leaders were skilled at such tasks.

With mental preparation, planning to immediately memorize the school-drafted speech upon receipt, Gong Ruini was stunned after hearing the principal’s proposal.

To be honest, as the tutoring center developed, people suggested opening branches, but Gong Ruini never dared to.

It wasn’t for lack of funds or desire to make a fortune, but for lack of teachers; she wouldn’t risk her brand for so little money.

Gong Ruini had long thought of poaching teachers from schools. Nowadays, teachers’ salaries are genuinely not high; with higher pay, they won’t be hard to find.

Unexpectedly, before she even made a move, someone came knocking, "Really? I’m absolutely fine with it here."

Gong Ruini had no objections and was eager for more teachers, "I’ll take any language, math, foreign language, physics, or chemistry teacher, whether from junior or senior high."

Though Fourth Middle School’s teachers weren’t as strong as those from First High School, it didn’t mean their professional capabilities were weak.

"Of course." Although it was a pity that the non-core subject teachers didn’t have this opportunity, there was no choice as the objective of running a school is to make money, not to incur losses.

"If possible, I hope to interview them." Gong Ruini knew this might hurt the teachers’ pride, but as the boss, she had to be responsible for the students.

The principal was a bit taken aback. Wasn’t it said that teachers here were relatively scarce? Why did Gong Ruini seem to have a slightly superior attitude?

"It’s not that my requirements are high, but here, the attitude towards students must be good; even for struggling students, whose parents paid such a large sum hoping to improve their children’s grades."

"Nor should they expect their children to be scolded by teachers to the point of losing the will to learn." Gong Ruini knew some teachers believed if students didn’t study hard, they deserved a scolding, but it shouldn’t be like that in a tutoring school.

Ah, the principal was getting dizzy. He had always known that Gong Ruini’s tutoring school was quite remarkable, not realizing there were so many requirements.

Could it be why students’ grades improved so quickly at the tutoring school? The principal wondered if, after these teachers trained under Gong Ruini, they could teach the other teachers not at the tutoring school some lessons.

Seeing the principal deep in thought, Gong Ruini wanted to tell him, "You’re oversimplifying it. Is it really just that simple?"

Is it that there are no good teachers in regular schools?

It’s not that there are none, but with classes of forty or fifty students, it’s hard to manage them all, whereas at a tutoring school, a teacher only deals with a dozen students, making it manageable.

Not to mention, Gong Ruini arranges classes according to everyone’s level, preventing significant disparities between them.

Could public schools do this? Absolutely not.

These words were left unspoken by Gong Ruini; she didn’t want to overly discourage him. Anyway, those teachers would clearly feel the difference once they started working.

"What’s up?" Zhao Xuran wondered why the discussion with Gong Ruini lasted so long, speculating if something happened.

"Our tutoring school can start expanding," announced an excited Gong Ruini.

What, really expanding? No way. Zhao Xuran knew expanding had long been anticipated and desired but had never materialized, so how was it possible now?

"You talked to the Fourth Middle School principal?" She always knew Ni Zi wanted to recruit teachers from schools, never imagining she’d approach the principal directly, quite daring.

"She proposed it herself," thought Gong Ruini, partly for performance, she believed.

"She’s quite the principal, hoping her teachers can earn more."

No way, the principal proposed it? "Probably more teachers will come over in the future."

"Maybe even the principal."

If that’s true, Gong Ruini would be overjoyed, "Then I can consider expanding beyond Beijing."

Of course, the priority is to manage the main base in Beijing well; otherwise, it’d be disastrous if things went awry at home.
