Chapter 1055: Chapter 1057: In High Demand

Liu Yun rushed in from outside and saw Gong Ruini quietly reading a book.

She let out a long sigh of relief, "Ni Zi, how can you still sit here calmly?"

"Why shouldn’t I be able to sit still?" Gong Ruini didn’t go out, but she knew what she said in the cafeteria at noon had caused another big stir.

And it should be a topic of discussion throughout the school.

"But many of them said you went too far." Liu Yun had many guesses about Gong Ruini’s family background, but she never asked her.

"They all say your family is wealthy—no, that you are wealthy." Liu Yun asked cautiously.

See? It’s happening. Gong Ruini knew Xu Huijuan and the others would make a move, but not easily.

Maybe it’s jealousy, or maybe some people just can’t stand seeing them being too arrogant.

"Well, my dad has been in business for a long time."

"No, they say you run a tutoring business." Liu Yun found out through others’ descriptions that Gong Ruini was actually that impressive.

"Yes, I’ve been running it since high school, earning my own tuition."

Wow, it’s actually true. Liu Yun was stunned, "It seems pretty big."

"It is quite big."

Gong Ruini’s honest words left Liu Yun at a loss for how to continue asking questions.

"I know many people will envy and be jealous, but this is all the result of my hard work."

"During the three years of high school, besides dealing with schoolwork, I had to teach classes and come up with problems for them, sacrificing fun and study time, and sleep to achieve this."

"You all see that I have money now, but you never knew the effort behind it."

"I only get such a small amount of sleep every day."

"Every time there was an exam, I had to come up with a lot of review materials."

"In short, no one succeeds without effort."

"Instead of waiting for handouts, it’s better to work hard to improve yourself."

"If you think you have good grades and can tutor, you can apply at my tutoring school."

"As long as you have the ability, you can be a part-time teacher, and the pay will satisfy you."

Oh right, Gong Ruini suddenly had an idea. No matter how many teachers there are, they can’t compete with the high number of teachers who boast. As the reputation of the tutoring school grows, more students but fewer teachers make Gong Ruini anxious.

Nowadays, people who can get into Jing University generally have good grades. As long as their teaching skills aren’t bad, Gong Ruini is willing to take them.

"Really?" Liu Yun didn’t expect this was possible.

"You’re not lying?" Many people stayed to listen after Liu Yun rushed into the dorm to ask Gong Ruini.

At first, they were quite jealous. Clearly, they all attended high school, so why did Gong Ruini score so well on the college entrance exam and make money from an entire tutoring business?

They were insanely jealous, just thinking God favored Gong Ruini too much, giving her such great opportunities.

But now they’re not jealous anymore, as jealousy doesn’t help, so they each surrounded Gong Ruini, asking how to attend her tutoring school.

Gong Ruini knew there were people outside eavesdropping, but she didn’t expect so many were listening.

"No rush, I will soon write down the number of teachers I need and the requirements," Gong Ruini raised her voice.

Though unsure how many of these excited people would actually come to her school to teach, at least they would be given an opportunity.

"In any case, if your family background is average, you’ll be given priority under equal conditions." Gong Ruini recalled earlier mentioning work-study programs.

Back then, she proposed this, and now that she’s hiring teachers, she certainly wants to give them a chance, otherwise, if it gets out, people would definitely call her hypocritical.

"Alright, alright."

"Ni Zi, we’re classmates. You have to consider me."

"Right, we’re in the same department."

No matter how people outside commented on Gong Ruini, compared to the fact that they might earn money, they cared more about that.

Nothing to do with Zhao Xuran being together, even if he’s not with Gong Ruini, he won’t be with them, so why are they excited?

Though some people wanted to keep what Gong Ruini said under wraps, so that there would be fewer competitors, someone still blurted it out.

For this, there’s no avoiding being scolded, because the wider the news spreads, the more competitors there will be, diminishing their chances.

Gong Ruini was quite satisfied, the broader the spread, the better. This way, more capable people would know, adding to her tutoring school’s prospects.

Xu Huijuan was quite upset with Zhao Xuran, but just giving up wasn’t satisfying.

Even though everyone knew Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini had been together for a while, she just couldn’t believe Zhao Xuran would foolishly wait for Gong Ruini.

Hmph, obviously Zhao Guangran went abroad to study, she couldn’t understand why didn’t the better-performing Gong Ruini study abroad, especially with her better spoken English.

But it didn’t matter; she couldn’t believe Gong Ruini wouldn’t study abroad. Gong Tao did mention he’d certainly let his children study abroad to see the world.

Because of his work, Gong Ruwen couldn’t go abroad, and as for Gong Ruzhi, he’s too young; he’d at least have to wait until he graduated from high school to go abroad.

So Gong Ruini would definitely go abroad, leaving Zhao Xuran in the country, giving her a chance.

So she had to smear her, no, she had to blow things up. If possible, get Gong Ruini expelled.

Given Gong Ruini’s character, she’d definitely study abroad, and the more Xu Huijuan thought about it, the happier she felt, "This has to be blown up."

Only this will make the school take it seriously; even if Cai Meina is a teacher at the school, she can’t go against public outrage.

Xu Huijuan had been working towards this goal for a long time, finally rallying some people, only to unexpectedly hear this news.

"Impossible, how could this happen?" How could she let these inexperienced people become teachers?

Many people were envious of Gong Ruini’s money-making tutoring school, but what use was jealousy? It’s not something they could replicate.

"Isn’t this digging her own grave?" Xu Huijuan didn’t believe parents who paid high fees would let Gong Ruini mess around like this.

Hmph, even if the school ends up supporting her, she didn’t believe the parents of the tutoring school would back her lightly.

Xu Huijuan planned to wait for the situation to develop. If she made a move now, she’d likely be set up as an example by Zhao Xuran.

Better to wait until things get out of hand, then she could take the opportunity to muddy the waters, getting back at Gong Ruini without drawing attention.

Yes, that’s the plan. Xu Huijuan admired her own ingenuity, thinking of such a clever idea.

Occupied with his internship and not often at school, Gong Ruwen was stunned after hearing about this, "Sister, you’re amazing."

Able to divert topics of discussion and solve a big problem, only his own sister could do this.

But what Gong Ruwen was worried about was, "What if the parents oppose?"

The fees aren’t cheap. If some university students were to teach their children, some parents might protest.

Parental opposition? Gong Ruini had definitely considered this, "I’ll reason with them; in fact, they can listen to the class results before saying anything."

"They have their shortcomings, but they also have their strengths — they’ll be more enthusiastic."

"Moreover, they won’t stick to conventions; they’ll have their ideas."

"The most important thing is that once they know the future of this field, they might go back to their hometowns and continue helping the tutoring school."

Having developed well in Beijing, it was time to expand outside, but with a shortage of people, Gong Ruini dared not venture out.

Gong Ruini didn’t want the tutoring school to expand outside without first securing its footing, as that would dampen morale and potentially be exploited by competitors in Beijing.

So when expanding outwards, it had to be taken seriously, as no trivial matter.
