Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long, and her booming brokerage business was soon discovered by her homeroom teacher, Ms. Miao.
The commotion was too great. Students from other classes were frequently coming and going in and out of the classroom, which clearly exceeded the normal range. Generally speaking, it is rare for students to visit other classrooms.
This is also an area where children of Huang Ruiying's age tend to make mistakes. Of course, some adults may not do as well as she does, but for a ten-year-old girl, this is already quite remarkable.
It was for this reason that the homeroom teacher, Ms. Miao, discovered the clues. Instead of alerting the suspect, she followed the clues and first found out what was going on.
After she grasped the whole situation, her face was filled with shock and a mixture of amusement and disbelief!
No wonder she's the daughter of Asia's richest man; her business is thriving. It's definitely a family tradition!
However, since the school is a place for learning, such actions would disrupt students' learning attitudes, so she immediately confiscated Huang Ruiying's registration book and took Huang Ruiying and Ding Xiaojia to the office.
"Huang Ruiying, who did you learn all this from?" Teacher Miao pointed to the notebooks filled with information.
The little girl blinked her big, bright eyes a few times, her mind racing.
"I didn't learn it from anyone; I came up with it myself. I think everyone has things they want and things they don't want. If we exchange them, everyone can get what they need. That's how it is."
Well! This guy is a self-taught Tao Zhu Gong (a legendary Chinese philosopher), Teacher Miao is having a bit of a headache.
Looking at the ten-year-old girl standing in front of her, Teacher Miao was unsure whether to criticize her for disrupting class order or to marvel at her innate business acumen and resource integration ability.
After all, Ms. Miao is a very experienced educator. She discovered from the little girl's actions that her thinking and management skills far exceeded the level of a ten-year-old child.
For a child like this, and also that loyal little follower Ding Xiaojia, the education and management of these two children still requires the cooperation of their parents.
Jiang Rong was the first to know. She was called over by Teacher Miao, who told her what she knew, the physical evidence on the desk, and the testimonies of other students.
Jiang Rong was also surprised that her clever and mischievous niece had such abilities. After learning what she had done, she was quite shocked. She also did not expect that this little girl could carry out this business under her nose and do it so well, and that it had nothing to do with money. Her control was extremely strong, and Jiang Rong felt ashamed of herself.
"Auntie, please don't call my mom, okay?" the little girl pleaded with her auntie.
Jiang Rong, of course, could not agree to this request: "So you know how to be afraid!" Then she pulled Teacher Miao out of the office and said a few words in the corridor.
Before school ended in the afternoon, Yu Xiang and Qi Huan arrived at school an hour earlier than usual. After arriving at school, they went straight to Jiang Rong's office.
The two little ones were sitting in Jiang Rong's office. Ding Xiaojia looked a little worried, while the little girl seemed to be fine and even patted Ding Xiaojia's shoulder to encourage him.
Just then, the two mothers came in from outside. They both looked at the two little ones first. Ding Xiaojia shrank his neck, while Huang Ruiying stuck out her tongue.
After seeing the two little ones, Yu Xiang and Qi Huan greeted Jiang Rong separately.
"Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Jiang Rong greeted the two with a smile, "You're here! Don't be angry yet, sit down and let me tell you slowly."
Teacher Miao received the notification and arrived quickly. After a round of polite greetings, the group sat down again.
Teacher Miao responsibly informed the two parents of the situation.
"Huang Ruiying's mother, Ding Xiaojia's mother, this is the situation. Our main concern is that this will affect the children's studies."
Qi Huan was both amused and annoyed after hearing this, but it made her like the little girl even more; she was determined to have her as her daughter-in-law.
But when she saw her son cowering in fear, she was immediately furious. Who did this child take after? His father isn't a coward either.
Yu Xiang calmly asked the little girl, "Tell me! What are you thinking?"
The little girl muttered softly, "I just wanted to exchange it for some snacks. It's your fault for not giving me money but giving me snacks."
Yu Xiang was so angry she laughed. How could she be so reasonable?
She picked up the confiscated ledgers and began to read them. The records were quite detailed, including the names of the items, who the owners were, the names of the items needed, the matching status, and the agreed-upon commission, which ranged from a piece of chocolate to a bag of raisins—basically, all snacks. After a quick glance, she found the records to be remarkably organized. Yu Xiang was astonished after reading them; her daughter's abilities far exceeded her expectations. She was nothing like the spoiled, unreasonable girl she remembered.
Qi Huan, who was also watching from the side, said enviously, "Yu Xiang, your Xiao Duo is so smart, she's going to be amazing in the future!"
Yu Xiang could only respond to Qi Huan's words with a wry smile.
Putting down the account book, Yu Xiang asked her daughter with a serious expression, "Do you think what you did was right?"
Huang Ruiying pursed her lips and remained silent. She didn't feel there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, she felt it was a good thing, as it solved her own snack problem and helped other classmates get what they needed.
At this moment, Teacher Miao spoke up: "Huang Ruiying's mother, Ding Xiaojia's mother, this matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. Huang Ruiying's organizational skills and creativity are commendable. However, school is, after all, a place for learning. What Huang Ruiying did will indeed distract herself and other students, affecting the normal order of the class and the students' learning."
Jiang Rong also stood up and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, but we need to let you all know so that we can educate you when we get back."
Yu Xiang nodded: "Teacher Miao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will definitely give her a good talking-to when I get back."
She then looked at Jiang Rong: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help too!"
Jiang Rong waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? What's the trouble? They're all our own children."
Then she said to Huang Ruiying and Ding Xiaojia, "Let's go! Go home with your mother."
After arriving home, Yu Xiang told her two children to go to their rooms and finish their homework first, and that they would talk about everything else after her husband returned.
When Huang Xiaochuan returned home that evening, Yu Xiang immediately told him about it.
Huang Xiaochuan wasn't angry at all after hearing this; instead, he laughed heartily.
This infuriated Yu Xiang, and she glared fiercely at the unreliable father of her child.
"If we don't stop this, things will get out of control."
Huang Xiaochuan quickly stopped smiling and put his arm around Yu Xiang's shoulder: "Xiao Duo didn't make any serious mistake. We should focus on educating and guiding her."
