Zhao Guangran saw Chu Jianbo’s figure from afar, and it startled him.
The principal, a busy man with important affairs, has no ti to visit an ordinary family.
"It seems they’ve already learned about the school transfer." A leader who never considered visiting families suddenly appears, it’s obvious why.
"But don’t you think you’re too late?" Zhao Guangran recalled the grievances he and Ni Zi had suffered, including the rift with Uncle Gong Tao, largely thanks to this guy.
"With a deceitful look, he’s definitely secretly calculating sothing’s worth." Zhao Guangran particularly disliked Chu Jianbo.
Many guests at their ho marvel at the spacious yard, feeling envy and jealousy.
Yet, despite a righteous facade, his eyes were calculating, which seed utterly mismatched.
Zhao Guangran stared at Chu Jianbo for a long ti before quietly leaving to find Gong Ruini.
Gong Ruini was listening to a storytelling radio show in the study, simultaneously practicing yoga.
Though Gong Ruini wasn’t keen to admit it, she felt last year’s clothes now noticeably tight.
Gong Ruini wasn’t fond of running, so she resorted to yoga for weight loss.
Seeing Gong Ruini performing incomprehensible movents in the yard, Zhao Guangran pursed his lips, baffled at her preference for yoga over boxing.
"What’s up?" Gong Ruini asked curiously while continuing her exercises, since this guy previously said he was going to find Cao Na.
"Chu Jianbo is here."
Chu Jianbo’s arrival? It’s a common occurrence, right? "Is he alone?"
"Who else would co? Just him is good enough." Zhao Guangran hoped no one else would co, "Otherwise, if soone clever arrives, talking wisely, what if they change Mom and Dad’s minds?"
"Still, Chu Jianbo is preferable, he’s just a brainless man." Zhao Guangran found comfort in this stupid principal.
"Teacher Feng didn’t co?" Gong Ruini was puzzled by Feng Xueyan’s absence since it was unlikely for the horoom teacher to miss this.
Indeed, Zhao Guangran suddenly realized Feng Xueyan wasn’t seen, "Maybe she’s occupied, school is about to start, and you know how busy horoom teachers are."
Gong Ruini thought so too, with the horoom teacher of special classes being the busiest, "Let him talk to Brother Xu Ran."
Though Gong Tao was supposed to handle it, he continuously stated being disgusted by Chu Jianbo, preferring not to see him, as it would be impossible to contain his reactions on his turf.
Zhao Gang was too lazy to bother with mindless folks, as he rhetorically stated he’d rather consider how to make money than worry over these matters.
Ultimately, the responsibility ended up at Zhao Xuran’s feet.
"Imagine him seeing my brother as the host; how would he react?" Zhao Guangran eagerly anticipated seeing Chu Jianbo’s face, sure it would be awkward.
How would Chu Jianbo react, Gong Ruini didn’t know, but one thing for sure, "He’ll be furious."
Walking there, the grandeur struck Chu Jianbo, initially thinking they were rely small-scale entrepreneurs, unaware of their significant ventures, which he regretted realizing.
Chu Jianbo didn’t consider it his own failure but rather blad Feng Xueyan and Gong Ruini for the oversight.
"Had I known earlier, wouldn’t I have supported them more?" Alas, being blessed with wealth and talent, Chu Jianbo wished he could slap himself several tis for his foolishness.
Contemplating how to nd relations with Gong Tao, he knew he must make him forget previous grievances.
"Hello, Principal Chu." Zhao Xuran saw Chu Jianbo’s eyes surveying the surroundings stealthily and felt annoyed. No matter how unfamiliar he was with splendid yards, couldn’t he just look openly instead of sneaking glances?
It truly matched his character of being sly and indecent.
"Zhao Xuran, it’s you." Of course, Chu Jianbo rembered soone who brought honor to the school, yet he was expecting to et the parents, not him.
Though Zhao Xuran was a college student, to Chu Jianbo, he’s just a child, lacking stature for discussions, "Gong Ruini’s father?"
"They went on business trips." Despite his disdain for Chu Jianbo, Zhao Xuran initially considered making tea; after all, a guest is still a guest.
Hearing such disrespectful remarks, Zhao Xuran’s mood soured, opting to pour just plain water.
Only plain water? Wasn’t there tea? Upon entering, Chu Jianbo glanced around, spotting so decent tea leaves, curious about their authenticity, but they should serve him a taste regardless.
Why only plain water? Isn’t that bullying? Chu Jianbo couldn’t ntion it, as it’s unbecoming for a principal, detrintal to the conversation.
"Business trip, do you know about Gong Ruini’s school transfer?"
Chu Jianbo also sought connections to inquire about Gong Ruini’s transfer to Fourth Middle School, thinking he could exploit its diocre reputation to sway Gong Tao against it.
"Yes, it was a mutually agreed household decision." Zhao Xuran calmly inford Chu Jianbo it wasn’t just Gong Ruini’s own wish.
"Ah." Impossible! How could it be unanimous, "Zhao Xuran, having attended high school, you should know Fourth Middle School’s level."
Knowing Fourth Middle School’s standing, the key issue was, "Did Gong Ruini’s previous excellent scores have anything to do with the school?"
Of course not; despite his earlier unfamiliarity, Chu Jianbo had to praise Gong Ruini, compelling a thorough understanding.
Through his research, he realized nurturing such talent isn’t easy, "Well, while she didn’t need teachers initially, she’ll surely need them in her later years."
Chu Jianbo stuttered, knowing he could have leveraged First High School’s faculties to persuade Zhao Xuran’s family early on, but now uncertain what to assert.
Damn, Chu Jianbo was infuriated recalling his excessive praise for Gong Ruini, leading many to notice her, resulting in her recruitnt elsewhere.
Chu Jianbo felt regret, internally marking a big cross against Fourth Middle School’s principal, vowing not to let this upstart thrive.
"We voluntarily chose Fourth Middle School, since they assured no grievances for my siblings at school."
"We don’t bully, but it doesn’t grant others the liberty to bully."
Poor fellow, still believes Gong Ruini’s transfer resulted from others poaching, never self-reflecting, "A school seeking honor by exploiting them, yet never present against injustice, attracts no allegiance."
Even with comndable results, although schools offer rewards, won’t Fourth Middle School do likewise?
Even if not, are Gong Ruini and her siblings lacking financially?
