"Mom, I don't want to go to that school anymore. The people I used to play with now all turn around and bully me. They all say I'm a fake, and they not only despise me but also make fun of me."
"I really don't want to stay in that school anymore."
"If this continues, I'll go crazy."
"Mom, I know you love me the most. Can you please help me change schools this time?"
Zhao Tianqi was utterly terrified by what happened today.
He could imagine that if he went back there, he would still be tormented by those same lackeys.
Thinking back to how many messy things I did in the past to attract the attention of my white moonlight, those lackeys still hold a grudge against me.
This made him even more aware that his current situation was definitely not going to be good.
At this moment, Zhao Tianqi really regretted not focusing on his studies back then.
His academic record is now set, and given his current situation, it will be difficult for him to achieve much further without a good result.
Without the support of the Zhao family, he was just an ordinary person.
There are really not many ways to change one's fate.
Actually, the Zhao family had taught him quite a few skills before. However, he felt that it didn't matter whether he learned them or not, since the Zhao family's resources would eventually come into his hands anyway.
So what's the point of him learning all that stuff?
Anyway, someone will manage those businesses for him in the future, so he can just relax and do nothing.
This idea was also instilled in him by Zhao Lixuan.
Zhao Lixuan has never suffered any hardship since childhood. She has always been pampered and has had all her problems solved for her.
She believed that young ladies from wealthy families and these young masters should never lift a finger and should always be waited on hand and foot; all they needed to do was learn how to manage others.
Therefore, Zhao Lixuan bears the main responsibility for Zhao Tianqi's current state.
However, it is also an undeniable fact that Zhao Tianqi himself is not ambitious enough.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhao Tianqi couldn't think of any other solutions. He could only ask Zhao Lixuan for help.
Upon hearing his words, Zhao Lixuan immediately raised her eyebrows and said indignantly:
"What's wrong with their school? Do you think my son, Zhao Lixuan's son, is so easy to bully?"
"No, I'm going to find their principal right now!"
"This is outrageous! It's utterly lawless!"
Hearing Zhao Lixuan's words, Zhao Tianqi finally felt a little relieved.
However, he always felt that something was wrong.
Finally, Zhao Tianqi realized that their identities were different now, so what was the point of going to see that principal again?
Even if they went to the principal to explain the situation, those second-generation rich kids still came from powerful families.
Will they take the principal's words to heart?
Zhao Tianqi previously attended a well-known private school in Beijing, which had top-notch educational resources. If he really worked hard and was ambitious, he could indeed achieve good results.
Of course, these second-generation rich kids aren't all bad people; most of them are actually quite decent.
After all, the family businesses that these second-generation successors will be taking over are all very powerful entities.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly carefree attitude of many people; they are actually quite cunning in private.
That makes a big difference.
However, even Zhao Tianqi himself felt that the possibility of him staying there was very small.
So Zhao Tianqi quickly grabbed Zhao Lixuan and said:
"Mom, let's assess the situation. We're famous throughout the capital now, who would still take us seriously?"
"Even if I go to see the principal, it won't help, and I'll likely only suffer more humiliation."
"Let's find another school."
"That's a safer approach."
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Lixuan became even angrier after hearing Zhao Tianqi's words:
“Back in Beijing, everyone doted on me. I was the center of attention wherever I went. Do you really think your grandfather has abandoned us?”
"He was just saying that out of anger. Just you wait and see, he'll come and take us back in a few days."
"If all else fails, I'll just accept that wild child. What's the big deal?"
“I’m going to the school to see the principal right now. I refuse to believe that my words won’t work.”
At this time, Zhao Lixuan was still very confident. After all, she had just left home and hadn't quite grasped reality yet.
Interestingly, she used to be waited on hand and foot at home, and her food, clothing and other necessities were always top-notch.
After leaving the Zhao family, Zhao Lixuan was unwilling to lower her standards and requirements. Although her accommodation was downgraded, her food, drink, and daily necessities could not be reduced.
Therefore, when it comes to meals, it's best to dine at the best hotels and restaurants.
However, the money in the card that Grandpa Zhao left her would be enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime, but for Zhao Lixuan and Zhao Tianqi, it was only enough for their basic needs of food, drink and shelter.
After all, these two are not ordinary people with a high level of spending. Zhao Lixuan's casual purchase of a luxury item is enough for an average person to buy a house.
She wanted the best of everything and to maintain a certain image. After all, many of the people she frequented in the past were unaware of Zhao Lixuan's current situation and still thought she was the same wealthy woman she used to be.
Only at times like these can she feel that she is still the eldest daughter of the Zhao family.
However, such days became increasingly difficult as money dwindled.
Although she could maintain this lifestyle for a while, Zhao Lixuan had always lived a life of luxury and ease. Even though she had worked before, it was the easiest job within the system.
She has already completed her retirement procedures and still receives a considerable pension every month, but for Zhao Lixuan, this pension is just a pittance of pocket money.
The wealthy life Zhao Lixuan had lived in the past had instilled in her a habit of being arrogant and haughty. Now that she was facing such a fall from grace, it was truly difficult for her to go from luxury to frugality.
More importantly, she just couldn't change her mindset; she still acted like the young lady of the Zhao family, maintaining her old airs.
Grandpa Zhao only let his daughter fall down so that she could experience the hardships of life after seeing that she was already crooked beyond recognition.
In fact, Grandpa Zhao also gave her a card with several million yuan in savings, which was more than enough to take care of her.
Keep in mind that this amount of money would be enough to buy several houses in many places at that time.
However, for Zhao Lixuan, that was just a drop in the bucket and not nearly enough to cover her expenses.
As their savings dwindled and there was no new income, their son even considered changing schools.
Doesn't changing schools cost money? Doesn't it require pulling strings?
The key point is that she had only heard about these things before and had never really worried about them. If she were asked to handle them, she wouldn't even know who to turn to.
However, she was still able to contact the principal of the original school.
So, in the end, she chose the most convenient way and approached the principal, an old acquaintance.
Despite her good son's objections, Zhao Lixuan went directly to his door.
