After Gong Ruini discussed a general framework with Cao Na, she put the matter aside.

In any case, Cao Na is more driven to make money, so she should trust her, and then we just wait to collect the profits.

Cao Na didn’t find it troublesome. Although there was significantly more to do, she felt her progress.

She missed Zhao Guangran even more, even though many things about the tutoring class were said to be planned by the three of them initially.

Actually, Zhao Guangran contributed the most, followed by Gong Ruini, and as for Cao Na, she could only say she met a good boyfriend.

This time doing everything herself, Cao Na was really overwhelmed, but she remembered how Zhao Guangran managed at such a young age, so she had no reason not to hold on.

Being busy with her own affairs, Cao Na naturally hadn’t gone back for weeks.

Cao Li remembered the last time she was tricked by Cao Na, so every weekend she would go back to the Cao Family with her child.

Besides saving some household expenses, she was also thinking that when she saw Cao Na, she could give her a harsh lesson.

"Could she really have gone to be a teacher?" Cao Li exclaimed in surprise.

After all, Cao Na was a thin-skinned person; if she could avoid it, would she do this?

Unless she was out of money, but that seemed impossible.

Her monthly rent alone was enough for her living expenses.

Cao Li couldn’t understand, and Dai Yaning understood even less. Ever since Cao Na made money with Gong Ruini and the others, she began by paying the money up front, and later managed it herself.

Other than occasionally revealing a bit, nothing else was known of her finances.

"Being a teacher is also good, so she won’t compete with you."

"Do you know the old man gave you all his connections?" Dai Yaning felt her daughter’s delay in getting promoted was because the old man wasn’t supportive enough.

If the old man was supportive, would it be like this?

Dai Yaning completely ignored all the foolish things Cao Li had done.

The old man wasn’t surprised to hear from the housekeeper that his daughter-in-law blamed him for Cao Li not getting a promotion.

"Let them be, and don’t mention it anymore. If they want to think that way, let them." Always blaming others for mistakes without considering their own faults,

what’s the use of arguing with such people, except for making oneself upset?

The housekeeper nodded and walked away silently.

Gong Ruini was really busy at this moment. She didn’t donate the scholarship she received, which caused quite a stir.

Even though many were dissatisfied with the notion that receiving a scholarship necessitated a donation, regardless of their discontent, they were scared into donating because not doing so would lead to public criticism.

This made the behavior of several freshmen in the law department, who didn’t donate their scholarships, stand out even more.

Xu Huijuan was very satisfied with the donations this time. Although the amount was not as much as last year, at least she managed to suppress Gong Ruini.

Previously, there was so much commotion, with the intent to unite scholarship recipients into not donating.

But in the end, "this is public opinion."

"This is where people’s hearts lie."

"Not everyone is like her, only seeing money."

"And even Gong Ruwen and Zhao Xuran actually didn’t donate." Xu Huijuan ground her teeth in frustration.

As for these two, there was nothing she could do. They were about to graduate, and having been in the student council for a while, targeting them might provoke many to support them.

So Xu Huijuan could only focus on targeting Gong Ruini.

But before she could take action, she was stunned by the news coming in from outside.

"What? You say Gong Ruini is recruiting many to be teachers at her tutoring school?"

Even though the donations would go to students from households with average incomes, the money was limited, so each person didn’t get much.

Yet, despite not donating money, Gong Ruini’s actions were incredibly generous.

More importantly, as she said, she gave many people dignity.

"Yes."

"Don’t those students’ parents object?" Xu Huijuan didn’t get it. "You know her fees are not cheap."

"That’s why she later re-opened classes, with tuition at just ten percent."

People close to Xu Huijuan, who were also from Beijing, were particularly impressed with how Gong Ruini handled this.

"Ten percent?"

"She must be crazy. How can she still make money like this?"

"Wasn’t she someone who wouldn’t do unprofitable business?"

Xu Huijuan was shocked. If it were her, she couldn’t have been that ruthless.

"That’s why many people have a good impression of her now."

"And those working at Gong Ruini’s tutoring school have given up plans for subsidies."

What is this? She kindly gave them a hand, and this is how they treat her?

Ungrateful! Those people only know how to follow the money; Xu Huijuan was furious.

Seeing how worked up Xu Huijuan was, her friend decided not to continue talking.

"Tell me, is there still more?" After all, she’s already aware of a lot; what’s the harm in knowing more?

Her friend didn’t want to say more, but couldn’t withstand Xu Huijuan’s persistent questioning, "I’ll find out eventually."

The issue has already become big; any small ripple would spread the news even more.

"I’d rather hear it from you." If she heard it from others, who knows how it might change?

"They say that when receiving money, the numerous speeches they had to make, especially in front of so many people, was quite uncomfortable."

Of course, there were even more outrageous words she was embarrassed to repeat.

"Ungrateful! Why didn’t they mention this when they took the money?"

If they did, would they have gotten the money? Her friend thought to herself but seeing Xu Huijuan’s current agitation, she chose not to speak further.

"Hmph, so what if they don’t want it. They’re people who handle large sums, looking down on such little money."

"Hmph, let’s see how Gong Ruini handles this. I refuse to believe she will continue doing such foolish things year after year."

"I wonder if she can really bear to part with so much money." Xu Huijuan thought and suddenly felt happy again.

Keep in mind, Gong Ruini’s scholarship just wasn’t that much, but in recruiting so many Beijing University students for her tutoring school, who knows how much she’d have to subsidize them.

The losses would be unimaginable, and even if Gong Ruini’s family is wealthy, indifferent to these losses, if the number isn’t small, wouldn’t she be upset?

She’d definitely be angry, yes. Then she could enjoy a good show.

While Xu Huijuan was waiting to see Gong Ruini’s failure, Gong Ruini was equally eager to see Xu Huijuan’s blunder.

"She must think I lost this time."

In fact, even after Gong Ruzhi and the others knew, they were worried about losing a lot of money, especially after Gong Ruini mentioned it being a long-term plan, which had everyone quite concerned.
