Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 870 - 872: Worries

Gong Ruini held the advertisement just delivered by Gong Tao and was ready to let Zhao Guangran find his buddies to help distribute these small flyers.

Although doing so might seem a bit lowbrow, Gong Ruini had no choice. If not, how else could they promote their tutoring class?

Zhao Guangran was well-prepared. Many of the young guys who used to hang out with him didn’t do well in academics and entered society early. If they had some family connections, things were easier; without them, life was tough.

Fortunately, these were all hardworking people. Zhao Guangran helped find them jobs here and there. Those unwilling to work for others and wanted to start their own businesses received his full support.

So, whenever Zhao Guangran needed something, they would come help as long as they had time.

When they heard that Zhao Guangran was opening a tutoring class, they all offered to help, saying they would distribute flyers as well.

"Alright, I’ll go inform them." Seeing the ads, Zhao Guangran thought of them as money.

Previously, they thought that with all the school promotions, students would continuously flock to them, and they’d have the luxury of selecting students.

But several days had passed, and except for the children of Cao Na’s relatives, not a single other student came. Even Zhao Gang’s business acquaintances hadn’t shown up, which really frustrated Zhao Guangran.

"Luckily, I’ve got a few friends who are much more helpful than some academic types." Zhao Guangran never imagined that these guys, who seemed a bit rough around the edges, would be so helpful, and it reminded him of a saying.

This young man started to sigh again, acting like a young person with so much to sigh about. Gong Ruini really couldn’t understand how he found the time to think about such things.

Gong Ruini was busy every day, and despite guarding the place, only a few people would show up, yet she kept busy setting things up.

Gong Ruini knew that their age might make many parents hesitate, but once they attended one class, she believed they would willingly pay.

"Ni Zi, Ni Zi, someone is here." Cao Na excitedly brought in quite a few people again.

As soon as Zhao Guangran heard, he rushed out. He hadn’t seen Cao Na in days, and pretending he didn’t miss her would be a lie, but she just had to go visit relatives out of town.

Cao Na dodged as Zhao Guangran rushed towards her. Why couldn’t this guy assess the situation? He was used to pouncing, but what if someone saw and spread rumors? How would she face people?

Zhao Guangran was a bit upset, but his girlfriend was the priority; he stood pitifully on the side.

Gong Ruini stepped out then and laughed at what she saw. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gong Ruini wasn’t laughing at Zhao Guangran but rather at seeing familiar faces, "You guys came."

Chu Ling was visibly excited to see Gong Ruini, "Yes, you opened a tutoring class and didn’t even tell me. If I hadn’t run into Cao Na today, I wouldn’t have known."

"And your health?" Chu Ling didn’t expect to miss such a major event while preparing for the high school entrance exams. "By the way, aren’t you opening a tutoring class? I want to join."

Back when Chu Ling had briefly taken classes from Gong Ruini, she had greatly benefited in such a short span.

Originally, she thought she wouldn’t hear Gong Ruini’s guidance again, but not only had Gong Ruini recovered, she had also started this class.

Chu Ling certainly didn’t want to miss out, "When does the class start?"

"Yes, yes, we want to enroll." The people following Chu Ling were equally enthusiastic.

"It’ll be in a couple of days. We plan to start recruitment." Gong Ruini pointed to the thick stack of recruitment materials, "Otherwise, just a few of us wouldn’t recoup the cost."

Gong Ruini didn’t feel discussing such matters with these second-generation wealthy elites was degrading. She relied on her brains, so why feel embarrassed?

Recruit more? Chu Ling was stunned, "Your academic performance is so good."

Even as a first-year student, she had heard about it, "Ni Zi, you don’t even know your own renown."

"Stop going out to distribute flyers. I’ll take care of this," Chu Ling confidently promised to handle it.

Chu Ling helping to recruit students was something Gong Ruini had no objections to, as those close to her weren’t pretentious types. Gong Ruini couldn’t vouch for how accommodating the people receiving the flyers would be.

"Looks like I owe you a meal." Waiving tuition wasn’t something Gong Ruini would mention, not because she begrudged the money.

But if others heard that Chu Ling didn’t need to pay tuition, what would they think?

All in all, Gong Ruini didn’t want to bring trouble to Chu Ling. She’d just treat her to something nice later.

"You made it yourself?" Chu Ling wasn’t really concerned about such money. If she wanted it, getting it wouldn’t be hard.

"Yes, but it’ll be a few days. I’m planning a grand opening ceremony." This marked the beginning of a long-term money-making venture, and Gong Ruini felt it warranted some celebration.

She couldn’t imagine mentioning the tutoring class’s humble beginnings in 20 or 30 years and admitting it didn’t have any celebration; that would be too embarrassing.

Gong Ruini wanted an opening ceremony that befitted the times, something to remember the tutoring class by. But to Chu Ling, it seemed like she was specially organizing it for the meal.

How could this not excite Chu Ling? She secretly resolved to help Gong Ruini recruit a few more people so that she could earn more.

Yet, Gong Ruini had no idea Chu Ling would be so proactive or that, on her way back, Chu Ling would do such a good job at promoting it that the people with her today all decided to help.

Actually, they thought that if even the discerning Chu Ling was willing to help, it spoke volumes about Gong Ruini’s character. Especially since Chu Ling’s grades had impressed her parents, how could they not feel envious?

Despite claiming not to care about grades, they did so only because their own were nothing to boast about. Anybody would want to become the kid their parents bragged about.

The prospect of reaching such heights, regardless of the tuition, was worth it; let alone the opportunity to bond with Chu Ling.

Zhao Guangran watched the people come and go in a hurry. He was busy hugging his girlfriend, not forgetting to tease Gong Ruini, "Ni Zi, if you’d done this earlier, you would’ve saved money."

"Money? Wasn’t it sponsorship?" Gong Ruini looked at Zhao Guangran puzzled, "You better not pocket the funds."

Darn it, he was just joking around. How did Ni Zi get tangled up in this? Was it really necessary?

"Oh, you mentioned bringing in a few people; ten have already signed up." Zhao Guangran felt the number was too small, but considering their fees, he thought it was acceptable.

"At most, twenty people," Gong Ruini didn’t want it to become a big class. That might not be effective.

Especially with Chu Ling involved, even though she wasn’t familiar with the others, they had a similar vibe to the Wang Brothers and Chu Ling, suggesting they were from influential circles.

If word got out, Gong Ruini feared many people would try to get in, turning her tutoring class into a place for building connections rather than education.
