Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 797 - 799: Continue to Publish Books and Make Money

Chapter 797: Chapter 799: Continue to Publish Books and Make Money

The Zhao Family and Gong Family are joining forces to hold a celebration banquet for their two children who participated in the high school exams, and this news spread like wildfire.

Business friends who have good relations with both families, upon receiving the news, all joked with Zhao Gang and Gong Tao, congratulating them on having raised a good son.

Everyone knows that Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen achieved good results, but getting a top score in the Beijing high school exams is not easy.

After receiving the news, many people not only offered congratulations but also wanted to learn the secret to their good performance.

For those who came to ask, Zhao Gang was not afraid at all, "Soon, after some time, these kids will publish a book."

Having said so much to them, there’s no better way than to have them buy the book. Of course, Zhao Gang would say a bit about studying tips—not too much, but just enough, lest it affect the book’s sales.

Looking at Zhao Guangran and Gong Tao advertising the children’s book, some bosses, even those who have good relations with Zhao Gang, could hardly control themselves, each one eager to help.

"Don’t look at me like that, it’s not easy for the kids. They said they want to earn their own tuition for college." Zhao Gang expressed that he would not take the blame for being money-hungry.

Earn their own tuition for college? That’s a fine-sounding phrase. If one didn’t know them, they’d really be tricked.

Slyly glancing at Zhao Gang, "Just bragging again."

"Exactly, who doesn’t know that your son and the Gong Tao family’s children are outstanding."

No matter how big their families are or how high their degrees, they still hope to see their children have talents in learning.

Even if there’s no talent, just having a decent diploma would suffice.

But with just these modest requirements, they wonder if they’re expecting too much from their children, none of whom meet the expectations.

Yet looking at other people’s kids, not only do they have good grades but can also make money; how could they not be envious? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zhao Gang wanted to show off a bit more, but remembering his son’s reminders, he suppressed this impulse.

"Actually, it’s because of having more kids, which leads them to compare." Zhao Gang understood how much they pampered their children.

"And also, don’t just focus on making money. No matter how much we earn, it’s still for them; their success is what’s most important."

Zhao Gang spoke about this at length; talking about how to inspire and motivate people was something he often did. Discussing children’s education, Zhao Gang was quite adept.

People present listened to Zhao Gang’s words and wished they could take out paper and pen to really jot them down.

Inside, Zhao Gang was immensely proud—a son who tops the high school exams surely brings more joy than earning a lot of money.

Zhao Xuran arrived to find Zhao Gang, hearing his father’s voice even before entering the office; he was genuinely helpless.

Zhao Xuran knew his father would boast a bit, but he didn’t expect him to keep bragging for several days straight.

"Son, you’re here." Zhao Gang paused, intending to have a sip of water to continue, and saw his son, motioning for him to come inside.

Zhao Xuran could only reluctantly go in to greet. Gong Ruini felt fortunate that she didn’t walk ahead; otherwise, she would have been dragged in as well.

"Can’t steal the top scorer’s spotlight." Gong Ruini turned into Gong Tao’s office.

Her own father’s discretion was definitely not the high-profile Zhao Gang’s; the more low-key, the better.

But as soon as she opened the door, Gong Ruini regretted it, as there were quite a few people inside.

Having people was fine, but the crucial part was hearing her father promoting their book, "When the time comes, let the kids sign for you."

"Actually, this book isn’t just for kids; adults can read it too. It’s really quite suitable for everyone." Since these friends were showing their support, Gong Tao naturally wanted to elaborate more on it.

Ah, no way—Gong Ruini was stunned, her father not only sold out Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen but also herself and Zhao Guangran, sigh.

"Ni Zi, you’re here. Share some of your study tips with uncles and elders." Just as Gong Ruini considered turning to leave, Gong Tao called out to her.

Ah, no way, letting her discuss study tips; goodness, how was she supposed to explain? Gong Ruini could foresee that once she started, it was just the beginning—there would definitely be more to follow.

Thinking of future tragic days, Gong Ruini expressed the need to stay low-key, "Dad, my grades are just average, not as good as Brother Xu Ran’s. Maybe we should find a time for him to talk to everyone?"

Regardless of Zhao Xuran’s reaction afterward, she figured she might as well sell him out first.

Besides, he was the main focus, so he should be emphasized. Even with half of the book revolving around Zhao Xuran, it was necessary to promote it widely to earn more money.

"Yes, yes, let that kid Xuran talk."

People knew that Gong Ruini’s grades were pretty good too, but nothing compares to topping the exam; honestly, if possible, they wanted to shake hands with Zhao Xuran to see if they could get some good luck from him.

Gong Ruini didn’t understand these people’s thoughts. If she knew, she would certainly laugh herself to death; it was too amusing, really; they wanted to get some good luck—do they think Zhao Xuran is some celestial being?

Gong Ruini imagined the usually aloof Zhao Xuran being exhibited like a national treasure for people to observe. Such a scene, no matter how imagined, couldn’t possibly be anything but hilarious.

"What are you laughing about?" Zhao Xuran, fleeing in panic, ran to Gong Tao’s office, not expecting people here waiting for him too.

Zhao Xuran knew his outstanding exam results would draw attention, just not the extent that scared him.

Thinking about what? Naturally wanting to see Zhao Xuran make a fool of himself; fortunately, Gong Ruini restrained herself just before blurting this thought out, or it would have been all kinds of courting death.

"I was just considering that Brother Xu Ran, you’re becoming famous; the book will definitely sell well." Unfortunately, there’s not enough hype for the exam top scorer; otherwise, Gong Ruini was confident in making Zhao Xuran an all-around top scorer.

Is she really thinking that? While it fits with Gong Ruini’s character, Zhao Xuran felt the possibility wasn’t high; yet how does this girl not admit it affect anything?

As for Gong Ruini, she probably just imagined him being trapped by people, that’s all, "Wait until your exams, then you’ll know."

When it was her turn for exams, her grades would surely get her into Jing University. As for also achieving top scores, Gong Ruini didn’t believe she’d have such good luck.

Even if she traveled through time, even if she saw many things, girls tend to be a bit weaker in sciences, just look at Zhao Guangran.

Previously, Gong Ruini absolutely had the upper hand over Zhao Guangran; now she was merely leading the way ahead, total domination was no longer possible.

This girl doesn’t believe? Zhao Xuran kept silent, letting time give her the answer.
