Chapter 1072: Chapter 1074: Not a Deserter

Gong Tao had no objections, so during a certain dinner time, Gong Tao brought up this matter.

Of course, it was unanimously agreed upon without any surprises.

Cai Meina was excited, she wasn’t stupid, everyone’s agreement was likely due to Gong Tao and Gong Ruini’s influence.

"I’ll perform well." No matter how beautifully one speaks, it still depends on actual actions.

"Mom, you’ll definitely do well." Gong Ruini encouraged Cai Meina.

"Yes, sis, you should learn well from Ni Zi." Cai Ming didn’t expect that someone who had planned to continue academic research in university would resign; they must be unhappy with their work.

Especially very unhappy, Cai Ming wasn’t angry, but since his sister didn’t bring it up, he pretended not to know.

On her own turf, Cai Meina didn’t feel anyone would bully her.

"I will, I will." Previously, Cai Meina was conflicted that at her age she had to receive education from Gong Ruini, even though she too graduated from Jing University.

But the man was right, her investments weren’t managed by her; others managed them, while the skincare industry, though not big or small, was most suitable to get a grip on.

Gong Ruini ate quietly, truly she was exhausted from various tasks, she had never known she would be pulled one by one to instruct Cai Meina on various matters.

Pushing her out was really troubling.

After returning to school, Cai Meina handed in her prepared resignation letter.

The submission of Cai Meina’s resignation letter really caused quite a stir.

However, some people weren’t surprised, since Cai Meina’s husband earned a lot of money, letting her stay stuck in school listening to various lectures wouldn’t suit her temperament.

Especially since Gong Ruini planned to study abroad, which indirectly offended some old teachers who would not speak kindly.

Though Cai Meina graduated from Jing University and her teaching was commendable, not a single person tried to persuade her otherwise, approving her resignation promptly.

This speed not only left Cai Meina stunned but also shocked the other young teachers.

Not one person attempted to convince her otherwise, simply responding as such, really left people feeling chilled.

After receiving the approval, Cai Meina immediately called home, asking Gong Tao to pick her up, even though she came home daily, she had lots of belongings in her office after so many years of teaching.

If it was before, Cai Meina wouldn’t take these things home; it’s not like her house lacked, but now she wasn’t willing.

When one after another pushes her around, why didn’t they think of that, but when they begrudgingly couldn’t gain, they wouldn’t receive it.

Then selling goodwill, asking her to give away her things.

Huh, even if given to an outside beggar, she wouldn’t give it to them.

Watching Cai Meina pack her belongings into boxes, some expressed dissatisfaction.

Yet their anger didn’t matter, they genuinely didn’t dare to ask for her stuff, as they clearly saw Cai Meina’s mocking expression moments ago.

Hmph, although they lacked money, still possessed some dignity, how could they be bullied by her.

"What’s up?" Considering they found someone to manage the factory, it should start preparing, luckily when scouting land for the furniture factory, the site was marked.

This time land was acquired right next door, the larger the tract, the more efficiently utilized later.

But there’s a lack of workforce to build factory buildings, Zhao Xuran felt deeply constrained by development, not by funds or staffing issues, but by limited construction crews.

"Actually, I think it’d be great to have our own construction crew," Gong Tao was impatient, "If we had our own construction crew, we could work at our own pace, avoid queues, etc."

Zhao Xuran was thoughtful; this was a feasible direction, and more importantly, despite occasionally struggling with acquiring land, building houses could lead to selling them and earning more.

Zhao Xuran’s eyes lit up, if handled well, the money-making potential was huge, but who would oversee it?

At this moment, Zhao Xuran was genuinely cautious about ventures; finding profitable ones wasn’t hard, but sensible management was an issue.

Would hiring outsiders provide peace of mind? Zhao Xuran was anxious.

Just as Zhao Xuran worried over these matters, the home phone rang.

Upon answering, Gong Tao’s expression twisted with anger.

"What happened?" Quickly rafts through thoughts; seemingly nothing to upset him.

"I’m off to fetch Aunt Cai."

"These people are really excessive, making Aunt Cai leave today," as if to suggest she linger there for higher wages.

What, making her leave today? Zhao Xuran was stunned.

Gong Ruini was also shocked, handing over sorted red materials, learning such explosive news left her speechless.

"Doesn’t it usually happen at semester’s end?" Gong Ruini questioned; it’s not rare for teachers to depart but it should wait till term completion.

Leaving mid-term, unless a teacher’s health was poor.

"They are putting mom on the spot," Gong Ruini puzzled over why they resorted to such extremes.

Zhao Xuran sneered, "Simply because they think we’re too high-profile."

"After all, you’ve accomplished things they haven’t, making them look incapable." Zhao Xuran initially believed it might advance the school’s incompetence.

Unexpectedly, they could go further.

"It’s all my fault." Gong Ruini never anticipated such outcomes, "Perhaps Xu Huijuan’s also a pawn."

"Just a pitiful pawn like me." Oh gosh, Gong Ruini questioned herself.

Despite being a time-traveler, a local managed to play her into corners; lucky her initial wealth build-up as a nobody went unnoticed.

Only when noticed, some form emerged, making rash moves impossible.

Yet when life’s flow seemed steady, someone unexpectedly nudged them hard.

Thankfully, upon gaining wealth, they didn’t get carried away, else Gong Ruini dared not imagine.

"It’s alright, they just want to tarnish your mom’s reputation, she said she’ll teach when she has classes, without rushing for an office."

"Without an office, how will mom handle student assignments?" Gong Ruini worried knowing if Cai Meina left school, rumors would circulate about her mom.

This isn’t an issue, "We can find a place near the school for your mom," Gong Tao firmly mentioned, though it’s unknown who’s behind this; just a few suspects.

If answers are found, they’d definitely retaliate aggressively.

"Ni Zi, watch out for yourself; if anyone’s rude, just go abroad," home Ni Zi enrolled early, studying in the United States would mean she’s young.

"No, I want to stay at Jing University." Gong Ruini determinedly decided not to be a deserter; she must obtain Jing University’s diploma.

And graduating with laurels, "I don’t believe they can dominate forever."
