The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

"The suffering that can be spoken is not true suffering; the suffering that cannot be spoken is the real suffering. The suffering of the Rong family patriarch was the latter, but your descendants in the Rong family are working hard to rewrite history."

My second uncle's Yaojiu Group has invested in several factories in China and has already gained government attention. Your Meihua Pharmaceutical is now a star enterprise in Beijing.

After a while, Uncle Wu's Worry-Free Insurance Company will also establish a branch in Huaxia, and Uncle Si's pharmaceutical company will also invest in Huaxia once it is operating normally.

Therefore, the descendants of the Rong family are outstanding, contributing to the country in various fields.

Hua Yan knew Rong Lu's ambitions, so she supported him not only financially but also through her connections.

"Hehe! All of this is thanks to you. Without you, your second uncle wouldn't have had the opportunity to invest in China. Without you, your fifth and fourth uncles wouldn't have been able to establish any companies. Without you, how could I have established Plum Blossom Pharmaceuticals?"

Thank you, Jiu'er, thank you for buying our house; otherwise, none of this would have been possible.

Ronglu was genuinely grateful to the young man who brought Huayan to buy their family's courtyard house.

Haha! That young man is working for Huayan now! He might even be in charge of the home appliance factory this time. This person is none other than Zhao Yao, a clerk at the Kyoto Housing Bureau and Miao Xianxing's high school classmate. He is now in charge of all the infrastructure work under Huayan, making him the de facto Minister of Infrastructure of the Yanxi Group.

Kyoto was no longer an option. Not only did Hua Jingxing make phone calls, but the school principal also made numerous calls. Hua Yan had promised to tutor the senior high school students, and the business had been running smoothly, but both she and Taiji had disappeared.

Now there's less than a month left, and the principal is so anxious he's got blisters all over his mouth. He can't just give away those two houses for nothing! So he's been making phone calls every day.

There was nothing they could do but arrange the return trip date for Huayan and Taiji.

Although it doesn't matter where they study, we can't let the principal down.

Sitting in the senior high school classroom, Hua Yan and Tai Ji were quite emotional. In their previous lives, life wasn't so easy. Back then, they only knew how to bury themselves in their studies. They didn't even notice when the trees outside the window turned green or the flowers bloomed. They worked from dawn till dusk, like a busy bee. Besides studying, they didn't know what else there was to do or what was worth doing in this world.

"Huayan, Taiji, you've been on leave for too long. Although you've already finished your courses, you need to familiarize yourselves with the college entrance exam syllabus so you can be more targeted in your studies."

In addition, our college entrance exam preparation classes have been running continuously. Starting today, you can all join the classes. Communicate more with your classmates and help each other.

When the homeroom teacher heard that Hua Yan had returned, he insisted on switching classes with someone else, even though the first period wasn't his, just so he could see Hua Yan and Taiji as soon as possible.

He was thinking about those two gifted teenagers! He was still waiting for them to produce results.

"Okay, teacher, we'll join the tutoring session after school."

Hua Yan stood up and agreed to the teacher's request.

Haha! Hua Yan and Tai Ji went to tutoring sessions to be free teachers for everyone. They even brought a lot of mock exam papers for everyone.

A month later, two days before the college entrance examination, the school gave all the senior students a holiday so they could focus on preparing for the exam.

Before leaving school, the principal found Hua Yan and Tai Ji.

"Your mock exam scores are good enough to get into Huada University and Yenching University in Kyoto. Don't be nervous, just perform normally. In the past month, with your tutoring, several students have also had the opportunity to get into Kyoto University. If you two had come back sooner, even more people would have been able to get into Kyoto University."

The principal's tone contained regret, but also satisfaction.

"Principal, if we both get the top score, what reward will you give us?"

"Haha! If you two get the top score, I'll grant you whatever reward you want."

"You won't go back on your word later, will you?"

Hua Yan is up to her old tricks again.

"I won't go back on my word, but it can't be too outrageous either."

"Let me bring it up first and see if you have any difficulties. My family owns a garment factory that can contract to make school uniforms. Also, I'd like to contract to run the school cafeteria. We don't need to charge low prices; we'll pay whatever price they offer to others."

Hua Yan wanted to bring in some business for her father. She didn't want Hua Jingxing to work as hard as others. As long as she could make money, that was enough. But she couldn't let Hua Jingxing be ignored.

"This is it! No problem."

"If you have any connections, you could help me get more school uniform orders. You can rest assured about the quality; it will definitely be better than our current quality."

"Okay! I'll talk to the principals of the other schools."

The principal hadn't expected Hua Yan's request to be so simple.

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"

On the day of the college entrance examination, Hua Yan and Tai Ji walked into the school surrounded by a crowd, with everyone behind them looking on with anticipation. Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang had made thorough preparations for Hua Yan and Tai Ji, fearing that any oversight might hinder their exam performance.

Hua Yan was both amused and touched, but her heart was filled with gratitude. In her previous life, she had never received such treatment because Liu Fengzhi had never taken her college entrance exam seriously. Now, Liu Fengzhi remained unchanged, still not caring.

Liang Dong, Hai Yitian, Qiu Jiu, and Miao Xianxing all made time to come. Although they were too busy to rest, they felt it was an important moment for Hua Yan and they had to be there. As soon as Hua Yan entered the examination hall, they immediately drove off to get busy.

Hua Jiao, Chai Yuan, Hai Tao, and the other Boy Scouts also came, looking at Hua Yan and Tai Ji with envy, cheering themselves on in their hearts.

Tai Ran also put aside his work to come and cheer them on.

After three days of exams, Hua Yan leaned on Taiji's shoulder as they walked out of the school. Exams are physically demanding, and those who aren't physically strong really can't keep up.

No one asked them how their exams went; seeing their exhausted appearance, everyone felt sorry for them.

"Sister! Can you take me to play now?"

Hua Rong looked at Hua Yan with delight, because Hua Jingxing told her that her sister could take her to play after the exam, but she shouldn't disturb her sister's studies before that.

Hua Rong was very obedient. After Hua Yan returned, although she always looked at Hua Yan pitifully, she never affected Hua Yan's studies.

"Hehe! From now on, I'll take Guo'er with me."

"Oh! That's great!"

Compared to Hua Rong's excitement, Hua Jingxing felt more heartache. Looking at the students who came out, they were all older children, except for Hua Yan and Taiji, who were still little ones. Although Hua Yan was older than the other children, she was still just a child.

"You must be exhausted. Today, your Aunt Chu and Aunt Sheng cooked a whole table of delicious food for you two."

Hua Jingxing held Hua Rong in his arms and pulled Hua Yan along. Taiji was led by Tai Ranzhi and followed beside them. Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang didn't come; they were at home preparing a victory celebration banquet.

Fu Lu originally offered to host a dinner for Hua Yan at the Xilai Hotel, but Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang declined, saying they preferred to eat at home.

There were fewer people picking them up today than the day they arrived. Liang Dong and Hai Yitian were too busy and had already returned to Beijing. Qiu Jiu and Miao went back to Shenzhen first, where several new projects have started, including home appliances, mobile phones, computers, and radios.

When everyone arrived home, Chu Xiu and Sheng Fang had already prepared two large tables of dishes, one for the children and one for the adults.

When the dishes and cups were scattered everywhere, everyone was a little drunk, but no one mentioned the high school entrance exam, as if it had never happened.

Hua Yan and Tai Ji exchanged a glance, knowing that everyone was trying to avoid putting pressure on them. This was for the best; at least they could have some peace and quiet.
