Chapter 2275: Chapter 2276: The Cousin Is a Capitalist Heiress 93

"Are you really not interested in the tutoring business anymore and want me to take it over?" Zhao Yadong reconfirmed with Qian Hao and Zhang Yu.

"Actually, you both could keep some shares." Zhao Yadong felt really embarrassed, as Zhang Yu and Qian Hao had contributed a lot to the tutoring business reaching this point.

"I have to work, though I’m not sure about the future. But what I do know is that I probably won’t be able to teach anymore." If she stayed working at the school, she certainly couldn’t give up the tutoring business—it’s a golden goose laying eggs; how could she abandon it?

Qian Hao pushed his glasses up. "Even though I’m not working, I have to pursue graduate studies and follow my mentor into the lab."

Qian Hao didn’t have much thought about the tutoring business; he just saw Zhang Yu and Zhao Yadong were very interested, so he stuck with it. Now seeing Zhang Yu want to withdraw, he followed suit.

"How about this: if you feel guilty, you can leave 1% of shares for each of us." Qian Hao thought for a moment.

Zhang Yu looked up at Qian Hao in surprise. Wasn’t their previous agreement to completely withdraw from the tutoring business? How come they suddenly decided to keep 1% of the shares?

Qian Hao knew Zhang Yu must be curious. "One day, if you need to take back these shares, both my and Zhang Yu’s shares will be sold to you at the price of a penny."

Zhao Yadong bowed his head in thought for a long time, then looked up at Qian Hao. "You think we’ll fight over money one day."

Otherwise, they wouldn’t just ask for 1% of shares, and certainly wouldn’t say to sell them back for a penny when recalling them.

"Yadong, I know your mindset. You feel this training institution was built by the three of us together. Yes, you’re right; it was indeed built by the three of us together, but you contributed significantly."

"Xiao Yu and I were just responsible for teaching; the rest of the work was mainly handled by you, like communicating with neighbors, students, and so on."

"Moreover, in the future, Xiaoyu and I won’t pay much attention to the tutoring business. It’s all up to you to run it."

"Which means we wouldn’t need to invest anything, just wait for dividends. Over time, I fear we’ll take it for granted, and you might feel we’re being excessive."

"How could I." Zhao Yadong angrily said, "Is that the kind of person you really think I am?"

"If not for Qian Hao, I might still be battling with them now."

"And if not for you two helping me review for exams then, with my grades? Could I have gotten into college?" Zhao Yadong knew himself too well; he wasn’t the best student back then, and later without interaction, would have returned the knowledge to the teacher. Even hearing about the reinstatement of the college entrance exam wouldn’t have sparked the thought.

"That was your own hard work. Without your effort, even if we gave you the information, you might not have been able to get into college."

After a bout of arguing between Zhao Yadong and Qian Hao, the final result was each got 2% of shares, and they were undilutable.

Qian Hao said to Zhang Yu, "Make sure to note that whenever these shares are sold, they must be sold to Zhao Yadong, each at the price of a penny."

Zhao Yadong wanted to object, but Qian Hao seriously said, "If you don’t agree with this condition, we don’t need shares."

Helplessly, Zhao Yadong could only agree, and thus the journey into the educational training industry began. In the years to come, no matter how many investors invested, Zhao Yadong never touched Zhang Yu’s shares.

Every March, after the financial report came out, dividends were promptly arranged.

No matter how the company executives or investors gossiped, saying Zhang Yu and Qian Hao were hogging the resources without contributing, Zhao Yadong didn’t change his stance, nor did he consider buying their shares for a penny.

Zhang Yu and Qian Hao lived a financially free life through Zhao Yadong’s annual dividends, including Zhang Yu’s earlier plans. She once thought about becoming an independent lawyer after working for the High Court for a few years; the idea of being a lawyer always lingered in her mind.

After all, ’Legally Blonde’ was also a dream of hers, to help more people in need.

Unfortunately, Qian Hao was busy with work, extremely busy; if she were also busy, what would happen at home? Despite the children being grown and somewhat self-disciplined, if both were busy, the house would indeed become a place like a hotel.

Though she didn’t become a practicing lawyer, her career was also very successful and she became an authoritative figure in the legal field.

Today was Zhang Tao’s turn to take care of his parents. Upon entering, he saw them watching TV, unsurprisingly watching an interview about Zhang Yu.

Gazing at that familiar face, it was as if the only difference after thirty years was more wrinkles. Oh, the aura has changed too.

Indeed, back then, she was just a young intellectual youth; now she’ll be a deputy director of the High Court, that’s right, a deputy director. Zhang Tao never imagined his family would have such an extraordinary individual.

Upon hearing the door open, Zhang Fu looked up, then returned his gaze, "You’re here. Oh, why are you late today?"

Zhang Tao placed the purchased items in the kitchen, "I just went to Second Uncle’s."

Though the relationship between the two families wasn’t as strong as it used to be with fewer interactions over the years, it was still his brother, so Zhang Fu asked with concern, "How is your Second Uncle’s health?"

"It’s alright, just worried about Xiao Hui." Zhang Tao thought of that mentally unstable cousin, making his head ache.

Xu Ling heard the name and couldn’t help but pout, "That girl was spoiled by your Second Aunt, I always said since she couldn’t get into college, she should find a job, really didn’t matter if she sold tea eggs from a stall."

"But she said that job didn’t suit her. As if your Second Aunt thinks the Ge Family would come recognize Xiao Hui."

"She doesn’t even think; if the Ge Family wanted to recognize Xiao Hui, they’d have done so long ago. They’ve already established a factory in the Mainland, she wrote to them, but what was the result? Nothing at all."

"The Ge Family doesn’t lack daughters, they certainly don’t. Look." Xu Ling pointed to Zhang Yu on the TV, "If only Xiao Hui could be as brilliant as your sister, no, even half as brilliant, the Ge Family would have recognized her early on."

Thinking of such an outstanding daughter, they had no chance to benefit from it. Xu Ling felt extremely upset, "Why did you insist on scheming for that Xiao Hui girl back then?"

"Otherwise the future for those kids wouldn’t be a concern, right? With an aunt as deputy director of the High Court, finding a decent job in the Capital City wouldn’t be difficult, not to mention back home here."

Hearing his mother’s words, Zhang Tao couldn’t help but think of his wife and son, and their complaints about him as well as his brother’s. "How can this be blamed on me? Who wasn’t good to Zhang Hui back then?"

"You weren’t particularly fond of Little Yu either. Do you really think without Zhang Hui scheming against Little Yu, she would’ve kept in touch with the family after becoming financially independent without asking for her monthly help with household chores? Did she ever send a letter home?"

"She’d rather communicate with classmates, send them things, than send anything home."

Zhang Tao refused to carry this burden, stating Zhang Yu was forced away by the family’s cold attitude.
