Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 944 - 946: Luck Is Too Elusive

When Chu Ling received a call from Gong Ruini, she was truly surprised. She really didn’t understand why Ni Zi would seek her out.

And this was just two days after returning to Beijing from her hometown. What was going on?

Chu Ling didn’t understand, but maybe it was for some local specialties, so she thought she might as well go and get them.

This reason wasn’t even believable to Chu Ling herself. After letting her grandfather know, she set off to find Gong Ruini.

Walking on the road, Chu Ling didn’t realize that she was in an exceptionally good mood, even exhibiting a slight bounce in her step.

Old Sir Chu watched from the upstairs window, thinking, "Truly grown daughters cannot be kept at home."

Although he wasn’t very satisfied with Gong Ruwen, the young man had his own abilities. It’s not about acceptance, but rather that in the future, his granddaughter might be talked about.

"Everyone makes choices, and perhaps one day this girl will be happiest with that choice."

Though they were part of a large family composed of many surnames, their feelings were good, and they had little economic disputes, which was much better than marrying into a complex family.

And these past few years, they’ve risen to prominence; is it really just good luck?

Old Sir Chu never believed in the concept of luck. Luck seemed too elusive.

But these kids had walked a path where, besides ability, a bit of luck was involved, especially when they encountered the Wei Family. Coincidentally, they used this opportunity to grow stronger.

Old Mrs. Chu came in gently with a cup of tea, "Are you decided?"

Previously, the old man had said to wait and see, why the change of attitude now?

"It’s not decided, but it’s now on the consideration list." The old sir was somewhat satisfied with Gong Ruwen’s achievements, "But the specifics still need looking into."

"Girls from the Chu Family are not easy to marry." They are precious, and if they casually agreed, what if they are looked down upon?

Seeing the old man’s proud attitude, having gone through so much together, his wife knew this matter was practically settled. "I don’t even know if the girl will regret it in the future."

All the granddaughters and grandnieces had married into families of similar status, yet this girl was marrying low. In future gatherings, who knows how she might feel?

Regret? The old man shook his head, "She won’t regret it. You don’t know her personality; a high marriage might ruin her."

Would a low marriage not matter? The old woman shook her head.

The old man remained silent, realizing that besides marrying low, he also saw the Gong Family didn’t suppress capable women, not even daughters-in-law. Such a good family would absolutely support Chu Ling’s growth.

As for the Chu Family not being able to provide much help, does marrying at the same level guarantee aid? With only so many connections, the family would have much to consider.

The Gong Family is different; they would certainly do their utmost to help Gong Ruwen.

Chu Ling was completely unaware that her grandparents had differing opinions on her marrying into the Gong Family. The young girl only knew she was about to enjoy good food and could discuss matters with Gong Ruwen.

As for marrying into the Gong Family, there was only a bit of affection; there was still quite a gap between whether she was willing to marry into the Gong Family.

"Ni Zi, what’s up?" Chu Ling excitedly wanted to give Gong Ruini a hug, but was taken aback by the few people in the room.

"What are you doing, about to have a barbecue?" Chu Ling didn’t expect the much-anticipated meal to be barbecue; though tasty, she really didn’t prefer it.

"Yeah, barbecue, and discuss which date to host a dinner, just to invite everyone. This winter break was supposed to have makeup classes, but due to family matters, the classes didn’t open, need to apologize." Gong Ruini motioned for Chu Ling to help.

To invite everyone for a meal as an apology meant they wouldn’t let anyone leave?

"It’s better to decide this early, otherwise people will feel uneasy." Chu Ling really didn’t want to discuss tutoring matters with certain friends, as she still didn’t know how things would turn out.

"Yes, we definitely need to decide, interested in joining us?" Gong Ruini handed some chicken wings to Chu Ling, signaling her to handle them.

Zhao Guangran shivered, as besides the Chu Family, not many could make Chu Ling do this.

Gong Ruini found it normal, treating Chu Ling as a friend meant including her when busy.

Chu Ling took over the task without a word, "Join you? To help introduce those who want tutoring?"

"I don’t think I need to recommend; there’s already a line of people waiting to join." Chu Ling didn’t care much but had heard that there’s limited space, with people trying all sorts of ways to secure a spot.

Could they hope she would stand up to block some people using family status to jump the queue? Chu Ling felt she was powerless against such craziness.

"No shortage of students," Gong Ruini proudly indicated they were about to select students, presently needing no promotion but needing to stabilize student grades.

"Turning the tutoring group into a school, interested?" Gong Ruini asked directly.

Huh, into a school? This pace seemed quick, but understandable given the favorable circumstances; not expanding might slow growth.

Gong Ruini would definitely not make such a mistake, the question was why include her, "Are you thinking I would support this?"

Gong Ruini didn’t hide from Chu Ling, "That’s exactly what I’m considering."

Nothing to conceal, as denying might make Chu Ling unwilling and even more doubtful.

"More importantly, if you want to get someone in line in the future, you could use your shareholder status."

"Most important is the potential earning; you know it’s lucrative."

Profiting, it’s certainly profitable; besides the initial investment, eventually only teacher salaries needed paying, other inputs aren’t much. Recouping investments is easy.

Such a good venture has no lack of investors. Even though Zhao Gang’s business was diverse with lots of investment, this required little investment and could easily involve bank loans.

There must be an ulterior motive. Chu Ling thought for a while but couldn’t figure out a way to misuse the Chu Family’s name.

"Even if I invest, borrowing Chu Family’s name isn’t at my whim." Chu Ling reiterated.

Gong Ruini wouldn’t dare use the Chu Family’s name, "I merely thought no one would meddle; if someone influential showed interest, we’d be powerless."

"I think it’s fine; we won’t engage in wrongdoing." Gong Ruwen didn’t understand why his sister proposed this, but seeing Zhao Xuran, he seemed to agree.

Given that, Chu Ling wasn’t the hesitant type, "Alright, how much to invest, I don’t have much money." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"We’re planning a meeting to discuss together." Gong Ruini was capable of planning extensively, yet Zhao Xuran was right, they needed Zhao Guangran and others to feel included.

After all that work, it would be bad not to reap benefits and be critiqued for being too domineering and solely deciding everything.
