Chapter 630: Chapter 631: Other People’s Children Are Better
Gong Zhuang was really fuming at his silly son. He knew this kid was unreliable sometimes, but he never thought he’d be this unreliable.
Gong Zhuang wanted so badly to give his son a good beating, "You!"
Gong Jiaming really didn’t understand how the father who was praising him before, suddenly changed his face, "Dad, what did I do wrong?"
Gong Jiaming recalled carefully, from the moment he saw his dad, there really wasn’t any problem. Why was his dad so unhappy?
Faced with his son’s question, Gong Zhuang was at a loss for words. How could he say that his son said something that made him misunderstand?
Gong Jiaming might not care, but Gong Zhuang did, "It’s nothing, nothing, just don’t cry so easily in the future."
Being a big kid now, how can you just cry when you want? How can you grow up like that?
What, crying is a problem? Gong Jiaming was indignant, but seeing his dad’s unhappy face, his animal instinct told him not to say anything that would upset his dad, or he would be in trouble.
"I get it, Dad. I’m going to take a shower and then do my homework." Even though his dad hadn’t agreed yet, he wanted his dad to know that he was now different from before, a good kid who loves studying.
Homework, are you kidding? His son actually voluntarily said this during vacation, leaving Gong Zhuang stunned.
"Go ahead, go ahead." It seemed like his son wasn’t just saying it; he really wanted to try hard to get into a good school.
If he didn’t agree, wouldn’t his son give up on himself? But bringing the son and daughter to Beijing, wouldn’t that trouble his second brother? Ah, such a headache.
"Dad, I want to come here too. I can learn so much here, and Nizi’s paintings are so beautiful." Gong Jiaxin was really enchanted by Gong Ruini after spending time with her these past days.
She always felt there were many things about Gong Ruini she should learn, and Gong Jiaxin really wanted to learn from her.
Even the eldest daughter said so, should he really consider it, "Do you really study your homework every day?"
A child went to Northeast for so many days and made so much money, he must be very busy, how could he have time to study homework, really leaving Gong Zhuang in a daze.
"Yes, every night we review our homework, have morning reading classes, and while gathering Chinese medicine we memorize things too." Looking back now, we really don’t know how we got through those days, it was really tough.
Really? Gong Zhuang was truly surprised, "You’re really working this hard?"
"Yes, it’s really tough." Seeing the reluctance on his dad’s face, recalling his dad’s fondness for the brother, "Dad, you can’t relax your expectations for him."
"This time it’s cultivated a good habit of studying hard, he must maintain it when he goes back." Gong Jiaxin’s biggest gain, aside from earning a nice income, was developing good study habits.
To maintain it when we go back? Gong Zhuang was really a bit reluctant, this was too tough, besides, "There’s no one at home to make test papers."
From the daughter’s tone, it seemed like his son had been doing test papers made by Gong Ruini. Will there be such a good opportunity when he goes back?
"No rush on that, Nizi said they’re planning to publish exercise books." Gong Jiaxin casually responded, she really didn’t expect that Gong Ruini’s mom could even make money from this.
Publishing exercise books, Gong Zhuang thought it was just compiling some summary-type exercise books, he didn’t pay much mind.
"Dad, they’re planning to sell it for money." Gong Jiaxin carefully looked around before saying this to Gong Zhuang.
What, exercise books intending to be sold for money? Gong Zhuang was surprised, "Would anyone actually buy this?"
In his view, isn’t this usually published by publishers? What good could a few kids make?
If those kids could concoct something like this, wouldn’t teachers be making these exercise books too? Why would it be their turn to make money?
"Yes, it’s reportedly in high demand." Gong Jiaxin didn’t quite understand why, but she knew it was definitely profitable.
In high demand, what’s the situation? Gong Zhuang was completely bewildered, he really couldn’t understand how things developed to this point.
Not understanding, of course, Gong Zhuang needed to ask someone. He wasn’t stupid. If this was truly a hot-selling item in Beijing, couldn’t he bring some back to sell?
Knowing this was a bestseller in Beijing, surely someone would want it. When it came to making money, Gong Zhuang always had various interests.
Having thought of a prosperous venture, how could Gong Zhuang hold back? He now wanted to find Gong Tao.
Gong Tao had just finished putting the Chinese medicine from Northeast into the specially rented warehouse and returned home, planning to chat with Gong Ruini and the others, only to be stopped by his brother.
When Gong Zhuang stopped him, Gong Qiang got a shock. Could it be that the daughters bullied Gong Jiaming and the others? Otherwise, why would Gong Zhuang look like he was about to settle scores?
"Bro, I heard you’re planning to sell exercise books made by my niece and them?" Gong Zhuang felt bitter just thinking about it; same-aged kids, yet how were his kids so much worse than the others.
How could he know? Gong Tao was busy and overwhelmed. He just wanted to quickly settle things with Gong Zhuang, not expecting him to say such a thing. What was going on, how did he know about it?
How could Gong Tao not be surprised? There were things that were okay for Gong Zhuang to know, but some things weren’t talked about, maybe just not right now, but how did he know?
"Is it true?" Gong Tao’s confused look made Gong Zhuang hesitant, could it be his daughter tricked him?
Impossible. Gong Zhuang knew Gong Jiaxin, she wasn’t like that, or was she tricked?
He wanted to deny it, but if the venture really got big, it wasn’t within his control to cover it up, "Those few kids made quite a fuss, it’s true that some parents want exercise books like that."
"The kids were just thinking of making some money. You know, as your brother, my income is just so much, and it’s not easy to support the family." Gong Tao didn’t deny it but didn’t forget to explain why the kids had this idea, all because there was no money at home.
So there really were parents wanting these exercise books. Gong Zhuang was almost fooled by Gong Tao but quickly steadied himself, "Is it really good?"
"Should be pretty good, it has considerably improved their classmates’ grades." Gong Tao wasn’t happy his brother didn’t find his kids smart, making him a bit displeased.
In Gong Tao’s eyes, his kids were excellent, no one could question that.
Seeing his second brother’s long face, Gong Zhuang quickly apologized. No matter what, it was better to apologize first.
