Chapter 866: Chapter 868: Be Serious

Wan Qiweng and Zhan Jing initially discussed the regulations for setting up the factory and then waited for the money to come in, and then they could consider the venue for the factory.

What Wan Qiweng didn’t expect was that as soon as Gong Ruini finished discussing the factory investment, she turned around and had a new investment opportunity.

"That girl," Wan Qiweng laughed, "Everyone in this family loves money."

Thinking of her son last summer hawking to do business, and then looking at Gong Ruzhi, it really runs in the family.

Zhao Guangran, talking excitedly about his ideas, was watched by Zhan Jing, "Looks like this summer vacation will be very lively."

"Exactly."

"Last year, several kids went to Yangcheng, and the house was so quiet." Before, she felt there were too many kids at home and it was always noisy, wishing for peace and quiet one day.

But when the house became truly quiet, Cai Meina felt it was better with more people around.

"Yeah." Zhan Jing also felt uncomfortable with the change, "Even the aunt says there aren’t many people at mealtimes and they eat less."

"By the way, where is your class going to be held?" Zhan Jing was concerned about where the class would be held, as she didn’t want too many strangers in the house.

"We have a small courtyard house, the tenant’s lease is up, and it’s not rented out." Zhao Xuran also didn’t want to see too many people coming to the house; he wasn’t very happy when Zhao Gang occasionally invited business friends home as guests.

"Alright, then talk to your dad and ask him to find someone to clean and paint it." After all, it’s their son’s business opening, and it can’t be handled sloppily.

Does he really need to find someone for this? Can’t the kids handle these things themselves?

Given the situation, Zhao Gang was worried there would be so few spots, they really wouldn’t be enough, "By the way, save me some extra spots."

For clients and business friends who might be interested, if there aren’t spots available, those people might not know what to think of him.

Gong Tao hadn’t thought that far ahead; he just wanted to help his daughter, "Save me a few as well."

"This time my daughter’s grades were so good, people will definitely come knocking," he said, recognizing it as a good opportunity to build relationships.

No matter how many students Zhao Gang managed to bring in, Gong Ruini had only one stance, "The money can’t be reduced."

"Don’t tell me that since they’re friends, we can make exceptions and not charge."

"I’m in it for the money, I’m not a school teacher earning a salary."

"Rest assured, if they don’t pay, we won’t even bother with them." After putting in so much effort, if those people can’t spare the money, they should just attend school classes; there’s no need to pay extra.

Some people may have money in hand now, but there are plenty who are unwilling to spend it on education.

"Then it’s settled. Oh right, Dad, when I print the test papers, give me a discount." Gong Ruini, entering a work mode, naturally wanted to negotiate the cost of printing the test papers first.

Seeing his daughter so confident about her tutoring class, and watching her seriously negotiate prices, Gong Tao couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Be serious." Finally, she could be a strong woman; her father couldn’t resist laughing in front of her, didn’t he know that would undermine her authority?

"No laughing, no laughing," but he couldn’t help it; finally, his daughter was going to make them some money, he couldn’t possibly upset her, or else what if she doesn’t give him any business?

"No need." Before Gong Tao could calculate the price, Zhao Guangran jumped in, "We don’t even know how many students we’ll have."

"Plus, we don’t know which grades they will be in, what if there aren’t many students from the same grade? If we print too many test papers, it’d be a waste."

Exactly, being printed in the factory, even one or two sheets increase the cost. Their tutoring class is a small business, after all, they must consider costs, otherwise, even a big business could be ruined.

"Dad, let’s hold off for now."

Bewildered, he hadn’t even calculated, and the deal just slipped away. Did they really need to stimulate him like this?

Gong Tao gave a disgruntled look at Zhao Guangran. This kid had been calling him Uncle Gong sweetly before, and now he’s so quick to change his tune. Could they even have friendly encounters in the future?

"If there aren’t many people, we can write on the board, have them copy the questions, and then solve them, also practicing their handwriting." Gong Ruini said, believing this approach would definitely be beneficial.

"And if there are more people, we can make our own prints." Zhao Guangran seemed to have thought of everything.

As for the test papers, even the barely two-years-into-schooling Gong Ruzhi didn’t like them, "If you’re not careful, your hands get all smeared with ink; I’d rather copy myself."

Remembering how those test papers would always leave hands and clothes stained, and if not careful, even the face, Lin Bei had no fondness for them.

Recollecting the few times embarrassment was caused by such test papers, Gong Ruzhi couldn’t favor them at all.

"I don’t like it." Wan Yihui’s face was full of distaste.

Nobody liked it; Zhao Guangran also found them distasteful, especially when it came to printing test papers, the experience was really unpleasant.

Seeing Gong Ruzhi from the corner of his eye, Zhao Guangran had an idea, "Do you guys want to make some money?"

Earning pocket money through labor worked perfectly in this context.

Money? Wan Yihui was definitely interested but was held back by Ruzhi.

It’s not that Gong Ruzhi didn’t want to make money, but he found something unsettling about Zhao Guangran’s gaze, "You’re the Big Bad Wolf in disguise."

Hahaha, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Zhao Guangran try to coax the kids; surprisingly, not only did he fail, he also got such a retort from Ruzhi.

"The Big Bad Wolf in disguise, huh, pretty fitting," Ban Xia and Zisu, entering a step too late, echoed seeing Ruzhi’s remark aimed at Zhao Guangran.

Annoyed, Zhao Guangran’s face puffed up in frustration, "So I say younger brothers are just put here to annoy me."

"I’m your older brother, I won’t argue with you." Zhao Guangran turned away, ignoring them, "If you’re unwilling, I have no objections."

Walking away wasn’t because of what Ruzhi’s evaluation implied; to him, who aimed to become a major businessman in the future, he wouldn’t give up over a few words.

Zhao Guangran was giving up only because Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini cast him unfriendly looks, reminding him of last year when Gong Ruzhi got coaxed by Wan Yihui to sell popsicles.

Just that small incident garnered various opinions from Wan Qiweng; if she knew he actually had Wan Yihui print test papers, who knows how she’d treat him then.

Moreover, getting them to work wouldn’t mean paying less; making them happy required its own effort. Was he hiring hands to work or inviting trouble? Just considering it made Zhao Guangran backtrack quickly.

Luckily, Ruzhi was unwilling too; Zhao Guangran almost wanted to hug Ruzhi, calling him a hero.

However, considering the comment labeling him as the Big Bad Wolf in disguise, a simple thanks sufficed, carrying no further obligations on this matter.
