Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gao Yuan probably didn’t expect Xiang Xiaoyuan to reject him so quickly. He was stunned for a while before he stammered, “But Madam…”
Xiang Xiaoyuan interrupted him, “No buts.”
Gao Yuan fell silent again. Just when Xiang Xiaoyuan thought he was going to give up, Gao Yuan said, “Madam, this parent-teacher conference isn’t an ordinary parent-teacher conference. There are many things happening in the aristocratic schools, and there are also many rules that no one knows about.”
Thus, after Gao Yuan’s explanation, Xiang Xiaoyuan knew the purpose behind this parent-teacher conference.
In every class, besides the students, the parents of these students would also form a small group. Some parents were busy with work and did not have time for their children. Those who were not busy with work would post some things related to the students in the group, from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Every little thing that happened in the class, such as who was bullied, who had a crush on whom, would be posted in the group.

Of course, they were more concerned with monitoring the safety of their children. There was a time during a physical education class, when there was a problem with the sports equipment which caused many students to be injured. The parents almost exploded. The children only suffered some light injuries, but it was enough to attract the attention of the parents.
Their children were about to enter the third year of high school. What if such an accident happened before the college entrance examination? In order to ensure the safety of their children through the third year of high school, they wanted to find a person to monitor the school, to monitor the safety of the children, from their diet to the public facilities, to ensure that there were no hidden safety risks.
Logically speaking, such a small matter could be done by someone. Previously, a parent had asked his assistant to keep an eye on the school. When the parents asked the assistant, the assistant always said that the students were all right. Later on, the parents found out that the assistant and the person-in-charge of the school had colluded. The angry parents immediately fired the assistant and let the school deal with the person-in-charge.
However, this matter also made them realize that only the parents of the students would put the safety of the students first. Therefore, they wanted to select a parent to take charge of this matter at this parent-teacher conference.

Xiang Xiaoyuan yawned. She felt that these parents were just too bored. In her previous life, when she was in an ordinary high school, didn’t she survive well?
“The selected parents need to come to the school every day. This job is not tiring, but it will take time. What those parents lack is time.” Gao Yuan was still explaining on the other side. Therefore, in order to make up for the selected parents, other parents will raise funds to compensate them. A semester is about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. The money is not a lot, it’s just a gesture.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan responded with an “Oh”. 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per semester was equivalent to about 10,000 yuan per month. She was not greedy for this money, so she decided to focus on her own shop.
Gao Yuan continued, “Each parent will pay 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and there are 26 students in the Young Master’s class. Of course, not every student’s parents will participate. The final number of parents who will pay is estimated to be around 18.” He paused and continued, “I know that Madam doesn’t care about this little bit of money, but these parents have a background. Madam, if you can build a good relationship with them, it will be of help to you in the future.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
It was not important whether it would help her in the future. What was important was that she needed that money!

One parent would pay 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and 18 parents meant 800,000 to 900,000 yuan. Where could she find such a job that pays 800,000 to 900,000 yuan in one semester!
“Have the parents decided on a good candidate?” She suppressed her restless heart and tried her best to sound less excited.
Gao Yuan sighed. “No, the parents are too busy. No one has the time.” It would be fine if they go to school every two or three days, but the parents required them to go to school every day. It was too difficult.
Xiang Xiaoyuan almost blurted out, “If they go to school every day, they can earn 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, but they won’t do it? !” But she quickly remembered that these parents were not short of money. The time they spent at school was enough for them to gain tens of millions of assets.
“So you think I can be the person in charge?”
“I think you are more suitable, Madam.”
Gao Yuan tried to be as tactful as possible. “With your current status, the parents will be very assured.”
There was a saying that new officials are more dedicated. Xiang Xiaoyuan had just become Lu Bei’s stepmother. It was the time to put in a lot of effort to give a good impression. She would do her best and not turn a blind eye like the others.
“If Madam has such intentions, you can communicate with the other parents at the parent-teacher conference. I believe that they will be very happy.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded demurely, “I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Xiaoyuan wished that tomorrow was the parent-teacher conference! This opportunity was a windfall! However, she came to a realization. As Lu Bei’s parent, should she discuss it with Lu Bei?
