Chapter 831: The Children Have Grown Up (1)
Translator: Lordbluefire
Shen Ruojing wasn’t in a rush.
Because the three children always supported each other, they definitely hadn’t faced much adversity at school.
When the teacher called her, her tone carried a sense of helplessness. She asked her to come to the school after classes.
Shen Ruojing didn’t want to face the teacher’s criticism alone, so she waited until Chu Cichen finished work and came home before they went to the school together.
The three kids were now in elementary school, having skipped multiple grades. They were currently in the sixth grade, and although they had already learned high school-level knowledge, Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen were still holding them back a bit.
After all, the three children were still quite young. If they went to college at this age, their social relationships wouldn’t develop properly, creating pressure for them. The two of them agreed that the three kids should go to college at the age of 15. Even so, it was becoming hard to restrain these three children.
They skipped grades time and time again, and they were about to take the high school entrance exam at the age of twelve or thirteen…
Once they arrived at the school, they went directly to find the homeroom teacher for the three children.
The three kids were somewhat of celebrities at the school due to their excellent academic performances. As such, the school had always been quite lenient with them. They didn’t know what major issue had arisen this time to the point that even the parents were called in.
When the homeroom teacher saw them, they sighed deeply and then asked them to sit down. They began to talk, “Mr. and Mrs. Chu, do you know that Tianye has established a small company at school?”
At these words, both Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen were taken aback. They looked at the homeroom teacher in bewilderment, “Huh?”
Seeing their expressions, the homeroom teacher realized they were unaware, so they explained the situation,
“We only found out recently that Tianye has established a small service company at school. Its services include but are not limited to helping with homework, running errands, getting meals, cleaning… At present, he has already recruited over fifty people, with representatives from almost every class. He charges a fee for helping with extracurricular assignments, and the division of income is three-to-seven between his subordinates and him. He gets 70%, and the person who does the homework gets 30%… Also, if someone doesn’t want to do cleaning, they can hire his team. Even during breaks, if someone wants to buy snacks, they can contact them… Oh no, he even found a student in each class to act as a snack distributor… In short, he offers whatever services and products students want.”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
Chu Cichen,”…”
Both of them exchanged a glance, utterly flabbergasted.
Was Chu Tianye’s little brain really this sharp?!
Shen Ruojing frowned.
Chu Cichen cleared his throat and slowly asked, “Is this limited to the elementary school?”
“Not at all.” The homeroom teacher sighed helplessly. “It’s spread throughout the whole school, including the middle school and high school sections. And…” The homeroom teacher struggled to continue, “In the high school section, the fees for homework assistance are even higher because only Tianye and his two subordinates are capable of doing the assignments…”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
Chu Cichen,”…”
Both of them apologized to the school, promising to give their kids a stern lesson at home. Then they dragged the three kids back home.
Chu Tianye remained completely oblivious to his wrongdoing and argued righteously, “None of my projects are illegal. Why won’t they let me continue? Some students are just lazy and don’t want to clean, while others come from poor families and want to earn some income by helping with cleaning. I’m helping my classmates! And making some money on the side!”
Shen Ruojing actually found his argument somewhat reasonable?!
Chu Cichen, however, cut his thoughts off with one sentence, “Your company doesn’t have a business license, and you’re hiring minors. This is all illegal. If you want to run a business, wait until you’re older.”
Chu Tianye,”…”
The little guy looked rather aggrieved, feeling as if his path to wealth had been abruptly cut off. It seemed as if he’d been sentenced to death, “1 still have ten years until I’m legally an adult! Besides, the employees in my company are happy, the students 1 help are happy, and even the teachers are happy because the assignments are neat and they don’t have to struggle to grade them. It’s a win-win for everyone. Why can’t I do it?”
Shen Ruojing rubbed her temples.
Chu Cichen chuckled and said, “Tianye, people of your age group shouldn’t indulge in a period of laziness. If someone helps you with your homework every day, you’ll develop a bad habit of not doing it yourself. This isn’t making money; it’s misleading others.”
He patted Chu Tianye’s shoulder. “Ill-gotten gains are never good. This is the bottom line of doing business. Remember that.”
Chu Tianye seemed to half understand, “Okay.”
Chu Cichen didn’t scold him further. Instead, he called Chu Xiaomeng and Chu Yu together. “No matter what professions you choose in the future, 1 only hope that you can be people who bring value to society.”
He looked at Chu Xiaomeng. “You love research, so work on creating things that benefit humanity.”
Then he turned to Chu Yu. “You’re the future heir of Country A. I hope you can make the people of Country A prosperous and achieve complete liberation for A country’s women.”
Finally, he looked at Chu Tianye and smiled. “The Loong Corporation was built by me. 1 hope you can establish an even more formidable organization in the future.”
Chu Xiaomeng and Chu Yu were fine, but Chu Tianye’s eyes immediately lit up. “Daddy, just wait. I’ll definitely be the wealthiest person in this family in the future!”
“Well, i believe you.”
No one could have anticipated that, years later, this statement would become reality..
