After Mi Tao and her mother left, Zhong Yi carried the package of buns still giving off wisps of heat and walked upstairs with light steps.

At this time, Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na were still busy at their respective desks, the lamplight falling on their focused faces, reflecting their serious expressions.

After all, for a company this large to run well, it indeed could not rely on Zhong Yi alone.

Seeing Zhong Yi bring things in, Zhang Wanqing slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, and asked: "Zhong Yi, why haven't you gone home after work? Is there something urgent?"

A warm smile appeared on Zhong Yi's face as he said: "It's not that I saw the two beauties still working overtime and thought you must be hungry, so I came to bring you some late-night snacks."

Speaking, he gently placed the buns on the table.

Liu Na curiously opened the bag, saw they were buns, slightly wrinkled her nose, and said: "Buns? Where are they from?"

Speaking, she took out two and handed one to Zhang Wanqing.

Zhang Wanqing took it, took a bite, her eyes lit up, and praised: "Mm, really delicious. This taste is quite special."

Zhong Yi poured a cup of water for both of them and said softly: "They were brought by Mi Tao's mother, wrapped by her own hands. Mi Tao's mother is very grateful for my teaching of Mi Tao."

Hearing this, Liu Na couldn't help but mutter: "Several thousand yuan, exchanged for just a few buns. That's really not worth it, is it?"

She had always had some objections to Zhong Yi waiving half of Mi Tao's tuition.

After all, the company was now in its startup stage and needed capital to operate; every penny had to be carefully budgeted.

Zhang Wanqing didn't mind those few thousand yuan of tuition too much; she valued the company's long-term development more.

But now the company had not made progress, and she was still quite anxious. She slightly furrowed her brow and said: "Zhong Yi, we have to find a way to get the company on track as soon as possible. Otherwise, continuing like this is no solution. Look, we've invested so much time and energy; we can't keep having no results."

Zhong Yi nodded and said seriously: "I understand your worry, Wanqing. I've been thinking about this problem too. Actually, I have some ideas for these past couple of days: add some interesting questions to the cram school, then edit the students' answering processes and post them on short video websites. That way we can attract more students and parents to pay attention to us."

Zhang Wanqing listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "This idea is not bad. Are there any other plans?"

Zhong Yi continued: "The monthly exam is coming up soon. I'm confident these students will achieve good results in the monthly exam. At least in this nearby area, our company will have some reputation. Then I'll have Liu Na start hiring several video-related employees tomorrow, specifically responsible for editing and publishing videos. Also, have our company's APP partners come over tomorrow to talk, see if we can expand some business. Education matters can't be rushed; after all, results can't come in a short time. We need patience, taking one step at a time."

Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na looked at each other, both feeling Zhong Yi's plan was feasible. Liu Na said: "Alright, I'll go hire people tomorrow. Teacher Zhong, don't worry. I'll definitely find suitable people as soon as possible."

Zhang Wanqing also said: "Then do it according to your plan. Hope we can see results soon. Let's work together and make the company bigger and stronger."

Zhong Yi nodded firmly, believing that as long as everyone worked together, the company would definitely get better and better. "That's right, let's work hard together. I believe as long as we persist, we will definitely succeed."

The next day, Tian Yulan got up early and dressed up carefully, knowing that today's matter was extremely important.

Afterwards, she and Yan Zi You's grandparents came to the Zeshu Tutoring Center together.

Upon entering the tutoring center, the bright lights and clean environment immediately came into view; the walls were covered with students' excellent works and honorary certificates, making one feel the strong learning atmosphere and professional strength here.

They were led by the staff to Cui Jingli's office.

Yan Zi You's grandfather spoke first, his tone full of earnestness and expectation: "Manager Cui, you see, our eldest grandson wants to join the Gold Medal Class. This child has always been especially hardworking, and we elders also hope he can have better development prospects. Can you make an exception?"

Cui Jingli slightly furrowed his brow and said with a troubled expression: "Mr. Yan, it's not that I don't want to help; this matter is really difficult. The spots for our Gold Medal Class have already been decided, and classes have already started. Besides, you know Yan Zi You's grades; they indeed don't quite meet our Gold Medal Class admission standards."

Yan Zi You's grandmother anxiously said on the side: "Manager Cui, please do us a favor. Our Zi You is very smart; she just didn't perform well in this exam. For a family like ours, even if the child wanted to go to an international school, we could afford it. But we just happened to take a liking to your Zeshu Gold Medal Class; we parents really have no choice."

Cui Jingli's expression looked a bit unpleasant; he felt Yan Zi You's grandmother's words were somewhat inappropriate. He slightly darkened his face and said: "Our Zeshu values the child's ability and potential, not the family's financial strength. We need to be responsible for every student and cannot casually break our admission standards because of other factors."

Yan Zi You's grandfather quickly patted Yan Zi You's grandmother's hand and reminded her softly: "Watch what you say."

Then he said to Cui Jingli: "Manager Cui, don't be angry. We also know you have your principles, but we really hope to give the child a chance. We're all businessmen; everything can be negotiated, right?"

Hearing this, Cui Jingli's expression became even more serious. He stood up and said: "Mr. Yan, we are in education; we dare not call ourselves businessmen, nor do we lack money. We have our principles and standards and cannot casually break them. I still have a meeting; excuse me."

Seeing Cui Jingli's unpleasant expression, Tian Yulan hurriedly went over to explain: "Manager Cui, please don't be angry. My mother-in-law didn't mean it that way. We really hope Zi You can join the Gold Medal Class; can you consider it again? We also know Zi You's grades this time weren't ideal, but she will definitely work hard in the future."

But Cui Jingli didn't listen at all and directly left the office.

Tian Yulan stood helplessly in place, her heart full of disappointment.

She turned and blamed Yan Zi You's grandmother: "Mom, you went too far with what you said. Now look, you've made Manager Cui angry. There was still a bit of hope before, but now it's all gone."

Yan Zi You's grandmother also felt wronged: "I wasn't doing this for the child? Who knew he wouldn't give face like that. I just wanted him to know our family values Zi You's education very much."

Yan Zi You's grandfather sighed: "Alright, stop arguing. Saying these things now is useless. Let's go; we'll think of another way when we get back."

The three parted unhappily, each leaving the Zeshu Tutoring Center with heavy hearts.
