Chapter 1119 - 1121
Gong Ruini stood at the hospital entrance, all sorts of impatient.
"Why can’t we go in yet?" Gong Ruini didn’t even know how many times she had yawned.
Zhao Xuran was half-lying in the passenger seat, although he was already prepared to give the Zhao Family a hard time.
But he hadn’t expected that before he even saw the old man he’d never met, they were left hanging like this.
"If they still don’t let us in after twenty minutes, we’re leaving." What grandfather, sorry, Zhao Xuran really didn’t have this concept.
If the elders want all kinds of respect from the younger generation, the elders should at least show they’re reasonable first.
Gong Ruini said "oh" and looked at her watch, "It’s three twenty now."
"Alright, we don’t need to go back. There happens to be a nice piece of land; we can go take a look." Since they’re already out, they should handle the serious matter along the way.
Checking out a piece of land? Is it for the school’s land? Only now did Gong Ruini remember something important, "I discussed it with Cao Na yesterday."
"We think it should be set up in a place with convenient transportation, preferably somewhere lively nearby."
Convenient transportation? "I think as long as it’s reachable by subway, it should be okay."
"The place we picked this time is just two kilometers past the subway terminal. That distance can serve as their exercise."
"The land price there isn’t expensive, so we can acquire more of it. In that design plan you came up with, we were thinking quite a lot, so let’s do it according to a fifty-year plan."
My knees are weak; I really want to kneel to this rich person. "Is it possible to acquire that much land?"
Nowadays, everyone knows the price of land. Even though the price isn’t as astronomical as it might be in the future, it’s certainly not something that can be bought like a cabbage anymore.
More importantly, some people are already keeping an eye on them. Several times, when they chose a piece of land, someone immediately jumped in to snatch it.
"Don’t worry, not many people are interested in that place." Zhao Xuran isn’t stupid, knowing that people are watching them, waiting behind to pick up scraps.
Then he just thought of another way. Moreover, if the chosen piece of land isn’t too ideal, the price won’t be too high and will be quite cheap.
The money saved can all go toward infrastructure, allowing Zhao Xuran to do it even better and more beautifully.
"We need to differentiate between the living area, learning area, and factory area."
"Then we can collaborate with the nearby villagers; some of the cleaning jobs can be done by them."
"We can also negotiate with them to purchase their agricultural and sideline products."
"And with so many students there, they could set up stalls at the school gate as long as their products are clean and sanitary."
So the school will open in the countryside, alright. No wonder Zhao Xuran has confidence that he will do better.
Since the Hot Spring Villa was established in the countryside, over the years, Zhao Xuran has gained all sorts of experience in getting along with the villagers, and he’s quite eloquent when he talks about it.
"In the future, the school can start a school-run enterprise, and we can hire a few laborers from the village. Then those students can study while creating benefits."
A lot of so-called vocational schools in the past had school-run factories, and God knows how many benefits they gained from the students.
Of course, Gong Ruini wouldn’t exploit them; only through hands-on practice with machinery would they learn more.
Gong Ruini isn’t a ruthless boss either, "At that time, we’ll pay them per piece as long as their products are qualified."
"If materials are wasted, the cost will be deducted from their income."
We absolutely can’t lose money for nothing. Although tuition is collected, what if there’s an idiot who wastes all the materials?
Gong Ruini is thinking about making money off students, not being a benevolent figure.
This is a great idea. On one hand, if it goes smoothly, you can earn tuition fees plus some extra money from products. More importantly, once they’ve interned at a school-run factory, their skills will improve significantly.
By then, will they still have trouble finding a job? They’ll definitely be in high demand.
"I’ve made up my mind. Any good students must stay; otherwise, I’ll be crying." Zhao Xuran always remembers the reason for establishing a vocational school.
"That’s a given." As long as her own conditions are good, Gong Ruini doesn’t worry about not keeping people.
The two of them took out pen and paper and noted down the key points of their current discussion in a notebook. These were just drafts; specific details would only be worked out once they returned.
Gong Ruini looked at the two pages filled with notes, "Looks like we still need more discussion."
She previously thought her written proposal was quite good and that there wasn’t much to add. Unexpectedly, she added a bit more yesterday and again today.
"Yeah." Zhao Xuran confidently mentioned that he knew Ni Zi would surprise him in all sorts of ways, even though he was already quite pleased with the proposal they had before, but he just wanted to know how far Ni Zi would go.
Oh my god, originally, Gong Ruini was pondering where else needed additions, but hearing Zhao Xuran’s words, she suddenly looked up.
"Wow, so you were bluffing me."
"No wonder you returned the draft so profoundly, making me think for myself."
So this guy didn’t know where it needed modifications. Gong Ruini was heartbroken, worrying to the point her brain almost went on strike.
"Didn’t it work quite well?" Zhao Xuran wasn’t afraid of Gong Ruini’s threatening expression.
You know what they say, ’Hitting is affection, scolding is love.’ "Ni Zi, I know how to handle this."
"See how quickly Guang Ran is improving."
"If I pointed out every time where he was wrong, do you think he would activate his brain in all kinds of ways and improve his level?"
"What Guang Ran can do, there’s no reason you can’t handle it, or perform worse than Guang Ran. Right?"
Zhao Xuran wanted to boast about how insightful he was and how he knew Gong Ruini would handle this well.
But as his words went on, his wife’s look toward him became more terrifying and pressuring.
Comparing her to Zhao Guangran? Are they even comparable? If she didn’t have the advantage of being a time traveler, Gong Ruini really wouldn’t dare to compete with him.
If not for the past experience to support her, Gong Ruini wouldn’t even dare to think about how Zhao Xuran might look down on her.
Then her image might crumble, oh my god. Gong Ruini felt a wave of fear; Zhao Xuran and Cao Na had so much faith in her.
She must study well, absorb resources from all sides, enrich herself in all ways. Otherwise, her true form might be revealed.
"I’ve decided, I need to read more books on business management, economics, and politics." It’s always beneficial to read more books.
As for reading time, luckily, with the cheat tool of space, she can make it work.
Soon it’ll be winter; whether she stays in the dormitory or goes home, she can absorb all this knowledge.
As for the legal books she used to focus on, they can wait for now. If possible, she can look at them at school.
Since it’s already out in the open, there’s no need to hide it.
Zhao Xuran watched Gong Ruini in her ambitious state, feeling like he dug a hole for himself.
His wife is truly outstanding in every way, putting all kinds of pressure on him.
He can’t afford to slack off, seeing his wife working hard. Starting today, after finishing business matters, he will read more books.
Zhao Xuran recalled Zhao Guangran telling him after going to the United States that Americans are quite knowledgeable, putting pressure on him.
Well-informed, as someone living domestically, he couldn’t compete, but he could read more foreign books and journals.
He used to refrain from bothering Zhao Guangran too much, not wanting to hinder his part-time job income, considering the high expenses abroad. Couldn’t let the kid complain about money only being spent on collecting books and shipping fees for the home country each month.
Now that he knows Zhao Guangran is a small money-making expert, there’s no need to save money for them.
