That evening at the Huo family dinner table, the old man told Huo Haoshen and the others that they must study hard in the next few months, otherwise it would be embarrassing if Ruan Ruan went to teach at Peking University while they hadn't even been admitted to university.
At first, Huo Haoshen said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Apart from some necessary trivial matters, we are now making the most of every minute to learn at the factory."
However, Huo Haocheng, who was sitting next to Ruan Ruan, had just put some vegetables in the bowls of the two children when he realized what was going on and whispered in his wife's ear, "Grandpa just said you're going to teach at Peking University. What's going on?" Although he said it was a whisper, the dining table was so small that everyone in the family could hear him.
"Yes, Principal Fu came to see me today and said that the leaders had a meeting and gave me the title of professor, inviting me to supervise the medical department at Peking University." Ruan Ruan answered Huo Haocheng's question while putting food into her bowl, speaking very casually, as if it was just a simple job for her.
Though said unintentionally, it was taken seriously by the Huo brothers, who felt quite resentful at that moment.
"It's outrageous! You're the youngest in our family, and now you're a professor, teaching classes, while we're still stuck here studying hard for the college entrance exam." Huo Haoshen didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like if they got into Peking University and met again at school, with him calling Ruan Ruan "Teacher." God, just thinking about it was terrifying.
"Now you feel it's unfair? When you were little, we told you to study hard, but how many of you actually listened? Every holiday, we would hide your schoolbags, afraid that if we saw you, we wouldn't let you go out to play and would force you to study. Now look what's happened, Ruan Ruan has become your teacher. I wonder how you'll answer when your classmates ask you questions in the future?"
As he said this, the old man was thinking that they really didn't discipline their children enough when they were in school. Every family spent money to send their children to school, but a bunch of brats didn't study properly.
Now, after the old man's description, everyone has a vivid image in their minds: a group of grown men, books in hand, chatting and laughing with classmates as they walk through the school, when they bump into Ruan Ruan, who has just finished class. Their classmates greet her with "Hello, teacher," and "Hello, classmates." After Ruan Ruan leaves, the classmates who know the situation will ask them, "Hey, your sister is a teacher at Peking University now, why are you still students? Was it because you weren't valued at home when you were little?"
"Huh... thank goodness, I don't have to take the exam!" Thinking of this scene, Huo Haocheng was extremely grateful. Thank goodness, he no longer had to go to school. Otherwise, the scene of calling his wife "teacher" would have been incredibly embarrassing.
"...Good heavens!" The brothers were speechless after hearing their eldest brother's exclamation.
"Oh my god, eat up! After you finish eating, go read your books." The old lady found it funny to see her grandsons looking like that, but she was also quite happy to know that her beloved granddaughter didn't have to take the college entrance exam and had become a professor.
“Your grandma is right. Your goal now is Peking University. After you finish eating, go back to studying. From now on, you don’t need to worry about your children. Your grandparents and I will help look after them. You can focus on your studies.”
Hearing that her daughter had become a professor at Peking University and would be teaching there, Ruan Ruan's eyes shone with pride. Seeing Huo Haoshen's wailing and howling, she ignored her daughter-in-law and sat down right in front of them, setting a goal for them: Peking University. If they didn't get in, she'd teach them a lesson when they got back.
And so, the Huo brothers spent the rest of their days with books in their hands. Ruan Ruan even created test papers for them based on the question types found by the system, and gave them a test every week. The brothers went from scoring as low as 100 or 200 points on their first test to gradually stabilizing at around 350 points, all in less than two months.
May arrived quickly, and the weather gradually improved. On this day, Ruan Ruan brought her new planning proposal to the pharmaceutical factory office.
"Xiao Jie, go and inform your brother and the others, and also call the factory managers and deputy factory managers of the furniture factory and the clothing factory over. We need to have a meeting together."
Zhu Meng was the place where everyone's dreams began, so after the pharmaceutical factory was built, Zheng Xuyang reserved an office for Ruan Ruan. Knowing that she usually came here to announce something, her office was quite large so that everyone would have a place to sit. In addition to her own desk, there was a small conference table and a coffee table, which was also arranged to facilitate the reception of important guests.
Upon hearing his sister's words, Xiao Jie immediately ran towards her office. After notifying Huo Haoshen and the others, he also called the furniture factory and the clothing factory to invite them to a meeting.
Half an hour later, after everyone had finished their work, Zheng Xuyang and his group came over on their own, while Huo Haoshi and Li Renzhao also came by bicycle provided by the factory.
This bicycle was from last year when Ruan Ruan was working at the factory. Once, she needed to go from the clothing factory to the pharmaceutical factory to pick up some documents. Although the pharmaceutical factory and the clothing factory seemed to be in the same factory area, the gates of the two factories were nearly 10 kilometers apart. Ruan Ruan was tired of walking back and forth, not to mention Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen and the others, who frequently ran back and forth between the factories. Later, Ruan Ruan ordered 30 bicycles for them, placing a few in each factory, and even arranging bicycles for the school, the health center, and the shopping mall.
The bicycles are parked in the parking areas at each main gate, where the gatekeepers watch over them. Anyone who needs to go out can ride one, as long as they register with the gatekeeper. Before riding away, they must sign for the bicycle, and when returning it, they must have the gatekeeper confirm that it is undamaged before signing for it. This is also a way to protect the factory's property.
