CHAPTER 478: CHAPTER 478: HOW DID HE GET INTO COLLEGE

After receiving Cai Ming’s letter, Cai Guoqing was anxious. With Cai Meina and her husband getting into college, he wouldn’t overthink it.

No matter how successful the Cai Family’s eldest daughter is, she’s the one who gives him money. Cai Guoqing wishes for Cai Meina to do even better, so as a younger brother, he can also benefit.

What? You think Cai Meina dismisses him and won’t give him benefits?

Cai Guoqing really doesn’t worry whether Cai Meina looks up to him, he’s not anxious. Aren’t the parents still there?

As long as the parents speak up, whether or not the eldest sister is willing, they’ll hand out the money.

For Cai Guoqing, the important thing is how to deal with the looming threat that is Cai Ming.

Gong Zheng was stunned to learn from Zhang Lan that Gong Tao and his wife both got into Beijing University, "They actually got into college."

Despite Gong Zhuang’s earlier claims about Gong Tao’s good grades, Gong Zheng never believed it one bit. What a joke! Others might not know, but Gong Zheng does.

Their grades back in the school days were just ordinary, let alone after graduating and working for so many years, how good could they be?

To Gong Zheng, this was nothing more than Gong Tao boasting, only Gong Zhuang, the fool, would believe it.

Speaking of Gong Zhuang, Gong Zheng got angry. He really didn’t comprehend how someone who seemed so useless could have such good fortune to work in the procurement department. If he had the capability, at least that, but does Gong Zhuang have capability?

"Yes, I’ve always said second brother is smart." Watching Gong Zheng’s flustered expression, Gong Zhuang felt satisfied, hmph, this brat used to brag endlessly, like he was so clever.

"Gong Zheng, it’s not that I’m lecturing you, but you really shouldn’t always think you’re exceptional, like the big brother. When second brother was around, at least he lived well, not many bullied him, but now." Gong Zhuang could only say some people are just greedy.

Always thinking their skills will definitely push through, yet not realizing the gap between thinking and doing is not slight.

Though he had done nothing, Gong Zhuang insists on bringing him up as an example, how could he not be angry?

Yet no matter how angry Gong Qiang was, it didn’t matter. The once underestimated Gong Zhuang suddenly transformed overnight, entering the procurement department. Gong Qiang now had no grand ideas, no thoughts of becoming a leader; just hoping for a somewhat easier position.

Otherwise, Gong Qiang wouldn’t have bowed to Gong Zheng, only hoping to live a slightly better life.

Unexpectedly, that fool Gong Zheng led life so miserably. If he weren’t living even worse, Gong Zheng really wanted to loudly mock him for a round, to think someone supposedly supported, capable brother would end up like this.

Gong Qiang was unhappy, but Zhang Lan was even more displeased. She had previously pinned great hopes on Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng, always believing her future good life must rely on these two sons.

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this; the least promising became the most successful, while the supposedly best son turned out useless. How could Zhang Lan endure this?

"Do we really know for sure?" Zhang Lan scoffed.

"Just a letter saying he got accepted into some university, who knows the truth?"

"If he’s capable, bring the admission letter back for me to see."

"Gong Zheng just got those scores, you think he can score well?" Zhang Lan truly didn’t believe it one bit.

Gong Qiang also didn’t think highly of Gong Tao, "Exactly, what grades did he have back when studying."

"If the grades were good, he would have started working much earlier." To Gong Qiang, even though his life is rough, constantly suppressed by Gong Zhuang and Gong Zheng, at least he’s not a farmer, at least he’s a city person, at least he has a stable job.

And what does Gong Tao have, just a guy depending on the whims of nature. Yet now he actually got into college, what kind of concept is this?

No matter how ignorant Gong Qiang was, he just had to see Gong Zheng’s envious eyes to know that getting into college is undeniably impressive, making Gong Qiang all the more jealous.

Mail the admission letter back? You’d have to be brain-dead to do such a foolish thing, "In the end, we’re all living our own lives now, Mom, you follow Gong Qiang to live your life. Whatever happens to us brothers is our own life." Gong Zhuang was most pleased that he got promoted, life was steadily improving.

"It’s late, I’m heading back." Glancing at the dishes on the dinner table, he truly had no desire to touch them.

This was still a meal on the fifteenth of the first month, specially inviting them back for dinner; if they weren’t called back, who knows how terrible the food would be.

"Not eating?" Zhang Lan watched Gong Zhuang prepare to leave, feeling various kinds of reluctant, "Didn’t you go to the procurement department, see if you can get your big brother moved there."

Despite being disappointed in Gong Qiang, he was still her son. She originally hoped Gong Zheng would succeed and pull up his big brother, but now truly didn’t dare expect minor son to be successful.

Moving Gong Qiang to his unit? Gong Zhuang looked at Zhang Lan in surprise, he really wanted to ask, "Are you my real mom? Do you think I’d be stupid enough to let a turncoat into my unit."

"I’m not as dumb as second brother, who got duped once by the turncoat, I won’t let him be duped a second time."

When Zhang Lan spoke, Gong Qiang raised his head, hoping Gong Zhuang would relent, but didn’t expect Gong Zhuang to speak that way, making Gong Qiang furious.

"What do you mean by that? That’s all in the past, why do you keep mentioning it." Gong Qiang regretted deeply. Had he known things would turn out this way, he’d never have gone against Gong Tao, not only harming Gong Tao, but crucially, himself too.

"Past events?" Gong Zhuang looked at Gong Qiang seeming indignant at being pursued, truly felt this big brother just seemed like a child, but he’s not a child, already in his thirties.

"Yes, for you, it’s all past events, but for second brother, it’s obvious betrayal."

"Do you think after seeing you strike once, I’d ever trust you again?"

"Not just me, big brother, you probably have no friends now either." Who would want to be friends with someone who could betray at any moment? Nobody wants to meet a miserable end.

"And mom, I don’t have the ability to help others. Back then at the factory I did average, wanted to ask dad for help when I came home, but how did you and big brother react? Saying everything should rely on oneself, don’t expect dad to help." Remembering the faces Zhang Lan and the others showed back then, Gong Zhuang was filled with anger.

Never thought he could find redemption now, his mood brightened.
