Chapter 1068: Chapter 1070: Going Abroad Isn’t Easy

Luo Zijun was the first to receive this news, and she was truly shocked.

She really didn’t understand why Gong Ruini would give up such a great opportunity.

You need to know how much flattering Xu Huijuan took just to get into the student council.

But what’s the use? When they want to use you, their attitude is nice, and when they see you’re useless, they immediately ignore you.

Moreover, this incident has blown up so much, there’s definitely no good outcome for her.

"Have you guys heard?" Luo Zijun burst into the dormitory excitedly.

No one bothered to lift their heads because even if they ignored Luo Zijun, she would still spill the news.

Everyone was too lazy to echo her.

Gong Ruini continued reading; she had thought about joining the student council before, but now she thinks it’s not necessary.

Even though it was just a short time, she realized those people were split into several factions, which scared her.

Gong Ruini is not foolish; having brought Xu Huijuan down this time, would she just let it go?

Absolutely not, she would definitely look for a chance to retaliate, and would the others be willing to send off Zhao Xu, then elevate Gong Ruini?

They had been waiting so hard for Zhao Xuran to graduate, hoping to take over as student council president.

With time to waste on things like that, she’d rather listen to English tapes. Gong Ruini is now engrossed in reading English books.

Luo Zijun leaned over to Gong Ruini’s side, and unsurprisingly saw her reading an English book.

She pouted, not understanding why Gong Ruini liked reading those books so much, since she wasn’t majoring in English.

Unless she’s thinking about going abroad, is going abroad that easy?

No, just as Luo Zijun was about to mock Gong Ruini, she suddenly remembered that Zhao Xuran’s brother Zhao Guangran was studying in the United States.

It’s said that Gong Ruini’s family conditions are not bad, and they could afford to send her abroad to study.

"You’re not planning to study abroad, are you?" Luo Zijun exclaimed.

Gong Ruini was about to say she didn’t have that plan but then thought there was nothing to hide, and said, "I’m considering it."

Gao Jing and the others were stunned. They had considered this possibility, but it was quite private, and they didn’t know how to bring it up.

They didn’t expect Luo Zijun to ask so straightforwardly, "Really?" Liu Yun spoke with a tremble.

"Mainly, I want to see how big the world is out there."

"And I want to know what the foreign legal system is like."

"I want to become a great lawyer," Gong Ruini said with firm conviction about her future career.

A great lawyer..., what is that? Gao Jing and others were puzzled by what Gong Ruini meant.

Even though they’re studying law, they all thought they would work in public security, procuratorate, and court agencies in the future, so they didn’t understand what a lawyer is.

"Abroad, many people have their own lawyers who discuss whether things are legal."

"Abroad, they rarely argue face-to-face; the most they say is to talk to my lawyer."

"Oh, is it like that?" Liu Yun and the others gaped with surprise.

Gong Ruini nodded, "As a prominent lawyer, consultations are charged by the minute."

"Charged by the minute." Luo Zijun was shocked, swallowing continuously.

Luo Zijun wanted to say Gong Ruini was talking nonsense, how could it be like that, but recalling Zhao Guangran, she stayed silent.

Although her parents worked in judicial agencies, they worked domestically and knew nothing about foreign countries.

"Hmm, probably a few hundred RMB a minute." Gong Ruini didn’t know the exact rate for prominent lawyers, but it certainly wouldn’t be cheap.

With a gasp, "That’s so profitable."

Even though they knew after graduation, their salaries wouldn’t be low, it would only be a few hundred a month, unthinkable compared to earning so much in a minute, it’s terrifying.

"Yes, otherwise how can doctors and nurses make money abroad?" Of course, a few years later it would be the tech field making money.

"Sadly, studying abroad is expensive," Liu Yun envied but gave up the thought thinking of the cost.

"Indeed. Though future earnings may be high, the initial investment isn’t small. At least tens of thousands, if you can get a publicly funded foreign study, the cost could be much less.

But would such a good publicly funded opportunity go to those without connections or background?

Thus, those who were tempted gave up the idea; their families had a hard enough time funding their university education.

They awaited graduation to work and contribute wages back home, forget about expecting family support for studying abroad, staying domestically for postgraduate studies wasn’t possible.

Yet, Gong Ruini wasn’t short on money; they suddenly remembered she also ran her own tutoring school, so she could afford to study abroad, they really can’t compare.

"Is studying abroad easy?" Luo Zijun was really envious, why didn’t she have such luck?

But if studying abroad is this beneficial, she really wants to go, at least you learn a lot.

What if she became a prominent lawyer, earning enough to quickly recover those study expenses, possibly in just a few months.

Luo Zijun calculated quickly, determined that she must study abroad.

Staying domestically seemed pointless, the income so trivial, it was irritating.

"By the way, Ni Zi, is studying abroad very expensive?" Even with intentions, Luo Zijun wanted to understand the costs.

Otherwise, how to discuss it with her parents, mainly she wants to know how much.

"Not sure, but yearly it’s tens of thousands, and that’s assuming a part-time job as part of it." Gong Ruini hadn’t researched tuition.

As for working on the side, Zhao Guangran also wanted more experience and to improve his English.

A few tens of thousands for annual tuition made Luo Zijun gasp, "Wasn’t it said to be less than that?"

Right, she recalled a family friend saying their child studying abroad didn’t need that much

"Publicly funded study abroad is cheaper; the state covers part of it, but living expenses you cover, which part-time jobs can mostly handle," Gong Ruini hadn’t noticed Luo Zijun’s intrigue.

This person had previously been thinking of settling in Beijing, but upon hearing about foreign earnings, now dreams of going abroad, truly inspiring.

"Actually, there are many studying law abroad, becoming a great lawyer isn’t common."

Huh, come on, Luo Zijun was stunned, what does that mean? Is this a joke?

Humph, it must be that, who doesn’t know Gong Ruini often had these cunning thoughts.

"But once passing the bar exam and working in a firm, the salary will grow, I mentioned great lawyers, at least in their thirties," Gong Ruini calmly explained.

"Otherwise, to become a great lawyer right after graduation would be terrifying."

True, Luo Zijun thought, realizing, when her parents started in their jobs, wasn’t it from the bottom, now they’re only middle management.

"I know, I know, oh, it takes three years for a master’s as well."

"Yes." Gong Ruini continued reading.

Having said this much today, she was really nice.

As for anything else, she wouldn’t offer any more unsolicited advice.
