Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 796 - 798 Must Celebrate

"Alright, process all of this data." Back in Zhao Xuran’s study, he placed a stack of documents in front of Gong Ruini.

Ah, is he really making her verify the data? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded.

Previously, judging from Zhao Xuran’s tone, it seemed like he was using this as an excuse to pull her away, but she never thought it was actually for her to do the labor.

Sigh, Gong Ruini really didn’t want to verify this data; she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

"You can freshen up and then handle it. This is the task you’ve got for today." Zhao Xuran didn’t know how to comfort her, let alone understand how things had developed this way.

"You must have faith in your uncle." Zhao Xuran expected that Wan Qiweng must have some objections, and Cai Ming went to find Wan Dajun to intervene.

Sigh, wanting faith in Cai Ming, Gong Ruini wished she could have confidence, "Forget it, why worry so much."

The matter has already happened, and it’s not something a child like her can handle.

Gong Ruini yawned, "I’ll take a shower, then handle the stuff."

Reaching the door, Gong Ruini suddenly remembered how she foolishly agreed, "Why did I agree?"

"I’m really busy too." Gong Ruini expressed that as a freshly-minted top scorer of her middle school exams, she could continue to earn money by publishing books.

The results of the college entrance exams should have been released too, Gong Ruini thought her life really had become blurry, "Brother Xu Ran, have your college entrance exam results come out?"

"Yes, they’re out."

Oh, they are out? Gong Ruini excitedly lunged forward, "How are the scores?"

"Not bad, top in science in Beijing."

Ahhhhh, no way, really top in science in Beijing! Gong Ruini was astonished, she thought Zhao Xuran’s scores wouldn’t be bad, but she never imagined they could be this good.

Gong Ruini felt her heart was beating fast; whether in her past life or this one, she had never been so closely associated with a top student before.

No, it’s growing up with a top student, oh my god, just the thought excites Gong Ruini, "What if I write a book about growing up with a top student?"

Yikes, what’s with her, is she out of her mind? Before Zhao Xuran could express his opinion, Gong Ruini was the first to voice an objection, "Brother Xu Ran, don’t you think you, as the top science student in Beijing, should publish a book?"

"Do people still care about this?" Zhao Xuran was busy with making money outside of classes, but this didn’t mean he was giving up on his studies.

However, some outsiders really didn’t place much weight on grades anymore; to them, attending classes couldn’t compare with making money.

Zhao Xuran had heard this type of talk before and didn’t pay much mind to it. He didn’t have the time or energy to worry about these, everyone has their own path to follow, and why should he, a regular person, concern himself with this?

"Of course they do." While some people believe making money is important, there are also people who believe studying is still good.

"Then write a book." Zhao Xuran felt there was no need for it, but looking at Gong Ruini’s expectant gaze, he turned his stance to agree.

"Good, I wonder how my brother’s scores turned out." Gong Ruini knew her big brother should have no problem getting into Jing University, but wasn’t sure by how much.

She didn’t know if her brother would feel upset; as his sister, she hadn’t focused on her brother’s scores, Gong Ruini felt as guilty as she could be.

"Your brother’s score isn’t bad, fifth in science at the school and top fifty in the city, getting into Jing University shouldn’t be a problem."

Oh, not bad, not bad, Gong Ruini felt that such a score was beyond her brother’s usual performance.

Gong Ruwen didn’t have the otherworldly intellect of Zhao Xuran; although he was smart, skipping grades left him slightly lacking in basic knowledge. Scoring this well was really commendable.

"Not bad, not bad, I have to discuss holding a banquet with Uncle Zhao and them." This was a major family occasion, and not celebrating wasn’t an option.

Is there even a need to have a banquet? Zhao Xuran thought of having to deal with a lot of people he’d rather not at that time, and felt an overwhelming pressure.

"Isn’t it unnecessary?" Zhao Xuran remembered how excited his dad was when he mentioned his scores earlier.

"It was hard to persuade my dad." If Ni Zi even said it should be big, Zhao Xuran could guarantee his dad would agree without any doubts.

Persuade Uncle Zhao? "It can’t be low-key." Gong Ruini didn’t want to deal with people either, but with the Wei family pressing close at every step, they couldn’t afford to retreat anymore.

"No need to be extravagant." Zhao Xuran was really caught between laughter and tears, he dearly missed those days when his family kept a low profile.

"But being low-key won’t work." Gong Ruini insisted repeatedly; although she was shorter than Zhao Xuran, shortness didn’t matter, they could not lose face.

Looking at the cheek-puffed, insistent-but-determined face of Gong Ruini, Zhao Xuran really wanted to give it a pinch, but he couldn’t, or else this girl would get mad; he constantly restrained himself.

Zhao Xuran tried to find various ways to persuade Gong Ruini, but before he could find a successful reason.

"Ni Zi, you also think we should throw a big banquet and invite guests." Zhao Gang excitedly burst in from outside, looking as if he saw a kindred spirit.

"Yeah, we must hold one, my Brother Xu Ran is the top science student in Beijing, how can we stay low-key."

"Exactly, exactly." Zhao Gang was that excited, "I said we should have a big one, but your Brother Xu Ran..."

Zhao Gang turned his head to the helpless-looking Zhao Xuran, "See, even Ni Zi says to do it, so this matter is settled."

Zhao Gang put on the stance of a dad; now what can Zhao Xuran do?

Continue stopping it? Without Gong Ruini, Zhao Xuran would have had the confidence, but with her there, he didn’t dare.

Doing so would only provoke all sorts of reactions from his dad, who might end up making the banquet even grander.

Zhao Xuran could only make requests to Zhao Gang, hoping that the event wouldn’t be too sensational and wouldn’t turn into some over-the-top celebration like a nouveau riche wedding.

Zhao Gang, who had finally waited for his son to agree, would of course comply with his requests.

Anyway, in Zhao Gang’s plan, as long as his son agreed, he, as the father, would handle the scale and details of the event. As for whether the son would be upset, Zhao Gang didn’t care.

Seeing his dad continuously nodding and assuring him the event would follow what he promised, Zhao Xuran felt mentally exhausted, he never thought his dad could be so willful.

"Ni Zi, do you think we should do something similar for your brother?" Gong Tao felt that Gong Ruwen’s scores were an extraordinary performance, but having someone nearby with even better scores was hard to overlook.

Gong Tao was worried that his son might not be happy, so he had to discuss it with Gong Ruini.

"Then let’s hold one together with Brother Xu Ran’s, it’ll be more lively." Gong Ruini felt there was nothing bad about handling it this way.

If Gong Ruwen were someone without such a strong mentality, it would be really hard for him to still be friends with Zhao Xuran.

Even if he avoids it now, can he continue avoiding the realities of life like this in the future?
