"The most important thing for running a school is the enrollment rate. As long as the enrollment rate is guaranteed, there is no need to worry about the source of students. You will definitely not make money in the early stage, so be prepared to lose money for three years."

Ruan Qiqi first gave a warning that school is a long-term investment and one cannot just think about making money from the beginning.

Moreover, education must be based on conscience. While making money, we must also ensure the quality of teachers. We cannot abandon our conscience for the sake of making money.

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t make money, as long as the children in the gang can go to school.”

Gan Defa never thought about making money. The purpose of agreeing to run a school was to ensure that the 108 children in the gang could go to school.

"You have to make money. I don't do business at a loss. You can do this for the second half of the year. Find students with poor families and excellent grades, promise not to charge tuition, and guarantee to give them scholarships every semester. For these children from ordinary families with good grades, the school must ensure that they have a quiet learning environment to improve the school's admission rate."

"Second, recruit those problem children from wealthy families. These parents are not short of money, they just want their children to learn well. You can ask them for a higher price, 100,000 yuan per semester, and sign a military order to guarantee that within three years, the children will turn over a new leaf."

Ruan Qiqi took a sip of tea and continued, "As long as these two points are done well, the school will definitely have no problem with the source of students, and parents will take the initiative to send their children here."

“Mrs. Ruan, we are a gang and we don’t know how to teach children.”

Gan De expressed his embarrassment. It was no problem for him to manage his men, but he was really not good at educating children.

"I can!"

Xia Tao raised her hand. She is really good at teaching children.

If you don’t obey, beat me until you obey!

"Ms. Xia, you don't want to hit the child, do you?" Gan Defa couldn't help but ask.

"Have you ever heard that beating a stick will make a filial son? Our ancestors must be right. Children who don't learn well must be beaten, but it's okay as long as they are not beaten to death!"

Xia Tao snorted coldly, corporal punishment is the most effective way of education.

"Children have different personalities. Some will listen after being beaten, while others will become more rebellious the more they are beaten. Just like some of the gang members in my gang, they would not obey even if they were beaten to death. Instead, they obeyed after a heart-to-heart talk. It depends on the individual!"

Gan Defa patiently explained to her that not all children are suitable for corporal punishment.

"Then I'll be in charge of the beating, and you'll be in charge of the conversation!"

Xia Tao replied without thinking, and used chopsticks to pick the ginger from the pig's feet in the basin. Seeing this, Ruan Qiqi smiled and said, "I don't like this, you can eat it all."

This is the tonic that Gan's mother gave to her future daughter-in-law, and she was embarrassed to eat it.

Besides, she really doesn't like to eat this. She basically doesn't like sweet and sour dishes.

Xia Tao didn't hesitate at all. She took a large bowl of pork trotters with ginger and went into the house to eat. Editing school rules was too tiring, so she ate pork trotters to replenish her body.

Gan Defa sat for a while and then left in a hurry. The Glory Gang now had a lot of affairs to deal with, and as the leader of the gang, he was very busy every day.

He also left the key to the new house, so Ruan Qiqi decided to move in the next day.

Their luggage was simple and they just called two taxis to get it all done. The new home has a very good environment and is not small in size. There is a lawn in the front and a garden in the back. It is considered a super luxury home in Hong Kong.

Along with them, they also moved in with a stove that burned particularly vigorously. This was the custom in Ruan Qiqi's hometown. Moving into a new house was called "going over the fire." Bringing a stove that burned particularly vigorously with them meant that the future would be prosperous.

On the first day after moving in, Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye went to chat with their friends.

Then they all got good news.

The two men walked to the Roman columns in front of the gate and looked around. Is there really a huge amount of money in here?

The trees in the garden and the water in the pool all say that there is a huge sum of money in this Roman column, hidden by the previous landlord. The exact amount is unknown, but it must be a lot.

It was getting dark, and Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye went to pry the Roman column. They knocked it up and down a few times, and found the right place to pry. After a while, they saw a stack of banknotes.

They were all new banknotes that had just been withdrawn from the bank, without even the seals removed. The entire Roman column was filled up, a total of five million, piled on the ground like a small mountain.

The brand new banknotes shine charmingly under the moonlight.

This villa cost only over one million yuan, and the money from this Roman column not only earned back the money for buying the house, but also more.

"sleep!"

Ruan Qiqi took the money calmly. It was only five million. She had seen big scenes before, so it was not surprising.

This money must have been the stolen money of the previous landlord. No wonder he ran away without saying a word. No wonder no one dared to buy this house. Even if the previous landlord did not come back to get the money, the ICAC would not let it go.

Ruan Qiqi did not intend to give the money to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but to use it to invest in the Rongyao Gang's company.

On the third day after they moved into their new home, they received a call from Jing Tao.

"Mrs. Ruan, Shi Hongmei and the others have recovered. How do you plan to accommodate them?"

Ruan Qiqi slapped his forehead. He had been busy filming movies recently and had forgotten about these poor women.

"If I don't resettle them, will they be sent back inland?"

"Yes, there are too many of them. We can't accommodate them all in Hong Kong. They will definitely be sent back." Jing Tao answered truthfully. He also added, "If Madam Ruan is able to accommodate them, that would be the best. If they are sent back, I'm afraid there will be no good results."

Ruan Qiqi thought for a moment and asked, "If I run a factory and employ these people as workers, can the Hong Kong government resolve their identities?"

"If Madam Ruan can really run a factory, the identity is on me, and I will take care of it."

Jing Tao's tone was very firm.

"The factory won't be ready for a while. Ask them if they want to work on the construction site. It's hard work, but the wages are paid daily."

Ruan Qiqi thought of the construction site. It was the end of the year and it was hard to find workers. If Shi Hongmei and the others were willing to work, it would solve the manpower problem.

Half an hour later, Shi Hongmei called in person, her tone very excited: "Mrs. Ruan, we are willing to work on the construction site. We work in the fields every day at home and cut bamboo in the mountains. It is much harder than working on the construction site. It doesn't matter if there is no salary, as long as we can have food to eat."

"I will definitely get a salary and enough food to eat. I will come over now."

Ruan Qiqi hung up the phone and went straight to the hospital. After a few days of recuperation, Shi Hongmei and her gang looked very good, much better than before.

As soon as they saw her, they knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, working on the construction site is hard and not an easy job. You have to be prepared to endure the hardship."

Ruan Qiqi said something ugly first.

"We are not afraid of hard work as long as we earn clean money." Everyone said in unison, their eyes extremely determined.

"Okay, I'll take you to the construction site!"

Ruan Qiqi and Jing Tao completed the handover and called Gan Defa, asking him to drive a minibus to pick people up.

She and Shi Hongmei and a group of people were standing at the hospital entrance waiting. People were coming and going at the entrance, some were seeing a doctor, and some were vendors trying to sell their products. There was a girl carrying a basket covered with a piece of clean gauze, and hawking her wares along the street.

"Madam, would you like to buy some white sugar cakes? They are soft, sweet and delicious. Five cents a piece!"

"Sir, would you like some sugar cake?"

The girl's Cantonese was not very standard. She enthusiastically sold her products to passers-by and slowly walked towards Ruan Qiqi and the others.

"Madam... Sister Hong? Are you Sister Hong?"

The girl suddenly cried out in surprise.
