Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Chapter 274 Testing

The call was answered quickly, and when Zhou Min heard Teacher Gong's voice, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed to speak.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhou Min didn't speak, Gong Yu asked again.

"It's nothing, it's just... I heard that my aunt's husband called you this morning?"

Zhou Min hesitated for a moment. After what happened last night, she still hadn't figured out how to face Teacher Gong.

Now I'm being forced into this situation, and I'm reluctantly making this call.

"Ah."

Teacher Gong's answer was brief, but the more brief it was, the less Zhou Min could figure out his attitude.

"Did you tell your uncle and aunt about having dinner tonight?"

Zhou Min was a little nervous. At this moment, Zhou Min wasn't sure what answer she wanted.

"I'm waiting for your notification. Should I say anything?"

Teacher Gong's voice remained as calm as ever.

However, Zhou Min was annoyed by his composure.

What do you mean?

What does it mean to wait for my notification?

If it weren't for that conversation last night, Zhou Min wouldn't have thought much of it.

However, considering what he said last night, it's clear that Teacher Gong's words now have a hidden meaning.

Then I need to be careful about my answer now.

Moreover, according to what Teacher Gong said, he has now essentially handed over all the decision-making power over this matter to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Min couldn't help but grip her phone tighter.

Zhou Min still doesn't understand what Teacher Gong means.

Does he have feelings for me? Or is it just because he's getting married and doesn't care who the bride is, even if it's me?

Thinking about this, Zhou Min couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Why should I be the only one making wild guesses?

These things were all caused by Teacher Gong. If it weren't for what he said last night, things wouldn't have become so complicated.

Zhou Min became increasingly angry as she thought about it, and eventually, she simply followed Teacher Gong's example and kicked the matter out of the picture.

"It's your decision!"

After Zhou Min finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Teacher Gong's reaction.

Zhou Min had made up her mind. With Teacher Gong's qualifications, even if this matter came true and she married him, she wouldn't be at a loss.

If Teacher Gong didn't mean it that way, then I should stop being so presumptuous and save face for my future self.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Min stood there for a while to calm herself down before returning to the crowd.

The group, who had been secretly observing Zhou Min, immediately surrounded her upon her return and asked, "What did Xiao Gong say?"

Zhou Min sounded clearly unhappy when she made the phone call just now.

Everyone was also worried that their good intentions had backfired and caused trouble for Zhou Min.

"He didn't say anything, except that the timing for his parents' side still needs to be confirmed."

Zhou Min wasn't going to be too definitive; who knew what Teacher Gong's attitude would be later!

If he comes, I'll take him.

If he doesn't come, then I'll continue to be my own boss.

With that in mind, Zhou Min continued to make arrangements for everyone: "Let's not worry about that for now. Today I'll take you shopping. The malls here are quite big, with everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment."

Zhou's mother and the others originally did not want to go, but thinking about the dinner party that evening, they felt that they should go to the mall to see if they should buy some more clothes.

So, encouraged by Zhou Min, the group marched headed towards the mall in a grand procession.

After dropping the children off at the playground, everyone went on a shopping spree.

Because the items in the mall were quite expensive, everyone was initially a little hesitant to pay, even though Zhou Min was supposed to.

However, because there were so many people, and everyone was looking at one thing at a time, it eventually turned into a buying frenzy.

Fortunately, Zhou Min is now financially independent, otherwise she would have been scared to death.

When everyone was rushing to buy things, they didn't even realize it.

When they saw Zhou Min pay, everyone felt incredibly guilty.

But with so many people, it's hard to just ask them to return their own belongings.

As Uncle Zheng watched Zhou Min swipe her card to spend money, he clicked his tongue in amazement and tentatively asked, "Minmin is really rich now! I'm only wearing such expensive clothes and shoes for the first time because of Minmin."

There is an information gap between my hometown and the capital.

They had all heard about Zhou Min opening a company in the capital, but no one paid much attention to it.

Firstly, Zhou Min was still in school, and the company she ran part-time was probably just a small-scale operation. It was only because Zhou's parents were wealthy and only had Zhou Min that they could give her so much money to run around.

Secondly, they had also heard that the website Zhou Min and her classmates created was free.

If you don't charge money, no matter how famous you are, you won't make any money.

So although her relatives and friends back home knew that Zhou Min had started a company in the capital, they all thought that Zhou Min was losing money to gain publicity and didn't really think she was that great.

But seeing Zhou Min swiping her card without batting an eye today, everyone suddenly felt that Zhou Min might have really become rich.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min, who was swiping her card, paused, then forced a smile and said, "It's alright, anyway, I've run out of money, I'll just ask my parents for more."

Zhou Min didn't want them to know her current situation.

Back in my hometown, it's still a society based on personal relationships. It's very normal for relatives to help each other out.

When someone becomes rich, many relatives will come to visit, hoping to help them get rich, or at the very least, to ask for a job.

This is understandable, but among their relatives, there are clearly no capable people. Otherwise, Zhou's parents would have subsidized them quite a bit over the years, and none of them would have made it big.

Back in their hometown, they can still do some small business and make a living.

If they came to the capital, given their condition, they simply wouldn't be able to survive here.

Although there were still many unimportant positions available for them in her company, Zhou Min knew that they were used to being idle in their hometowns, and given their relationship with her, they would definitely be difficult to manage once they joined the company.

With a personality that can't tolerate any flaws, you might end up pleasing neither side.

The best way to prevent this from happening is to not get involved in their affairs in the first place.

Anyway, with Zhou's parents around, they won't be mistreated.
