Chapter 1813: Integrity
“You said that your business didn’t give students a choice at first, but now they can choose to use your services or not. That means that some students were willing to work hard and learn well in the beginning, but you have deprived them of that opportunity. Isn’t that wrong?”
“Principal, I think you may have misunderstood something. The reason why I compared fighting outside school with the business was that initially, I didn’t know that what I was doing was setting up a business. Yuan Mingbo from my class didn’t want to do his homework, so he always asked me to do it for him. I wasn’t willing, so he waited for me to leave the school grounds and tried to get someone to beat me up to force me to help him out. I thought that if I didn’t help him, I would surely get beaten up, but even if I helped him, I wouldn’t get anything out of it. Thus, I decided to tell him that if he wanted me to help him, I would, but for 500 yuan a time. If he needed me to help him with his homework every day, I could give him a discount—3,000 yuan a semester. I didn’t want to get beaten up, but I also didn’t want to help him with his homework for no personal gain, so I took the money. Principal, I think my charges are still very low, and my homework business operates beyond school grounds. So, I don’t think I violated the school rules.”
The principal’s mouth twitched when he heard that. He could not help but ask, “Even if you took Yuan Mingbo’s money and helped him with his homework to prevent violence outside the school, why did you go on to establish a business to help other students with their homework?”
“Yuan Mingbo is very popular. He looks down on classmates who are poorer than him—especially me, the poorest ‘prodigy’ in the school. So, he spread the rumor that I would help people with their homework in exchange for some money. Hearing that, rich kids from all around the school came to me. They all threatened me, saying that if I didn’t help them with their homework, I would be beaten up. So, I thought that if I were to help them, I would be doing labor. With labor comes income, right? Thus, I set up this ‘business’ and gathered a few seniors who were willing to help in exchange for some extra money. Not only would they help me complete the homework, but they could protect me if anyone dared to bully me. Soon, other students found out about the arrangement and approached me. Hence, my business gradually grew.”
Besides the principal’s mouth twitching, Nangong Nuannuan, who had founded a business empire at the age of 12, could not help but laugh.
Nan Xu was simply incredible.
“Principal, my family is not actually short of money. Although I would like more pocket money, I could find other ways to make it or open other businesses. Of course, if you would like me to shut down my current business, you would have to control your students and ensure that they don’t harass me within or outside of school. If you can give your word on doing this well, I can immediately alter my line of business. However, if you can’t, I will have to continue my current business to avoid being beaten up. Moreover, I have already collected some advance pay from my customers. The teachers always tell us to be honest. Thus, since I’ve already taken my classmates’ money and given it to my subordinates, I must continue my business at least until the end of the semester. If I am forced to terminate it early, I hope that my customers can bring this issue up with you themselves.”
The principal, “...”
The teachers, “...”
The parents of Nan Xu’s subordinates who were listening in, “...”
