Chapter 277: 275. Punish the bear children, no indulgence (second update)_1

Ren He’s consideration for the red envelopes was to use half of them to reward outstanding employees and the annual top contributors, while the other half would be distributed through a lottery. Everything proceeded smoothly; it was clear who had made the greatest contributions to Qinghe Games, and the atmosphere was rather harmonious.

However, on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, due to the publicity department’s operation, the news about Qinghe Games giving away a million in red envelopes went viral online. As the first company to innovate the end-of-year red envelope tradition, Qinghe was once again at the center of attention.

But Ren He wasn’t worried at all, as Qinghe Games was firmly rooted in Ren’s own territory, and it had always complied with laws and paid taxes on time; no one could do anything about it.

Although Ren still didn’t know he owned such a company, he would definitely take care of any issues that arose, which was precisely why Ren He had established Qinghe Games’ headquarters in Luo City. After all, it was a foundational industry, and safety had to be considered.

Now Ren He had heard that Xu Nuo had been letting loose ever since his dad stopped managing him, like someone who had been repressed for too long and suddenly set free, experiencing an urge for an extreme outburst. Just like many prodigies who do well in high school but then get drawn into the dazzling world upon discovering all the novelties in college.

But after talking with Xu Nuo, Ren He found his head was still clear and decided not to interfere too much. After all, everyone has their own life and set of values. Even if Xu Nuo squandered his money after becoming wealthy, that was his own business. The only thing Ren He felt the need to caution Xu Nuo about was one point. He looked at Xu Nuo with an excited expression as he received the red envelope and said, "It’s good to have more money, but there are two things you must never touch: drugs and gambling. If you dare get involved with either, just wait for me to hang you from the Wangcheng Bridge to sober up, heh heh, I’ll detox you myself."

"Damn," Xu Nuo said, shuddering at Ren He’s threatening expression, his hair standing on end. He knew Ren He was definitely someone who meant what he said and quickly backed down, "Definitely won’t touch them, definitely won’t."

That’s good, as long as you don’t touch those two things, there’s basically still hope for you.

In his past life, Ren He had seen too many families ruined because of those two things. The so-called detox solutions were all fake; some drugs are impossible to quit after just one use.

After giving out the red envelopes, Ren He returned home. But as soon as he opened the door, he heard a noisy commotion in the living room. While changing his shoes at the entrance, Ren He glanced over and made direct eye contact with the mischievous child who had been pranked with a firecracker last year...

The rascally child’s plump little face trembled when he saw Ren He, first with fear, then with a resentment that seemed to glow red at the sight of an enemy!

Last year during New Year, his face had been blackened for three whole days, too embarrassed to visit relatives, while everyone else was out lighting firecrackers, he could only sit at home with a firecracker-singed face and question his life decisions...

What the hell kind of feeling was that?!

This year, the mischievous child decided he wouldn’t take a single thing from Ren He’s home. He was determined to uphold good discipline and style and not give Ren He any opportunity to act. It was time for revenge!

He had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace in all his life. No matter what he said, the parents didn’t believe that the firecracker was Ren He’s doing. Ren He had planned it too perfectly, even showing the parents the firecracker’s fuse in advance.

A whole year had passed, but the mischievous child still couldn’t swallow his pride!

As he watched Ren He head towards his room, the child sneered to himself, this is my New Year’s gift to you!

Ren He, grimacing in pain, looked at his laptop that had been disassembled into two halves. He took a deep breath. He had intended to go easy on you, but it seems there’s no chance of ending this peacefully between us today!

As it turned out, when it comes to punishing a mischievous child, there should be no pampering—absolutely no kindness or soft-heartedness!

At dinner that night, with the whole family sitting around the dining table, his uncle suddenly asked, "Ren He went to study in the Capital this year, right? How does it feel?"

"The teaching conditions in the Capital are indeed much better than in Luo City, especially at No.4 Middle School," Ren He said cheerfully. "Oh, and I brought a gift for my cousin as well."

"Oh? There is a gift? Ah, Ren He, you’ve really grown up and become thoughtful!" his uncle laughed. "What is the gift?"

"I’ll just take it out now!" Ren He said with a smile, glancing at the mischievous child, who suddenly felt a great sense of unease. The memory of the prank firecracker Ren He gave him last year had left too large a shadow in his heart!

However, he then thought, if Ren He gives me something, can’t I just not use it? Heh, do you really think I’m young enough to be tricked? You underestimate me. Once I get the gift, I’ll just throw it away as soon as I walk out the door. What can you do to me!?

Ren He went back and placed an exquisitely wrapped gift box in front of the mischievous child on the dining table: "Open it up and have a look."

The whole family was smiling as they watched the beautifully wrapped gift box, seeing the brotherly relationship between the two. Ren He had truly grown up and become sensible!

The mischievous child cautiously unwrapped the gift box, thinking to himself that even if it was a trap, it wouldn’t be sprung at the dinner table. Could it really be a peace offering? Has today’s behavior of dismantling the laptop truly intimidated his cousin?

Haha, actually, that’s not too bad!

Little Fatty’s chubby hands lifted the lid of the gift box, and what caught his eye was a pile of books, with the top one reading: "Haidian District Elementary School 2nd Grade Winter Vacation Homework..."

Fuck! Who sends this as a gift? Little Fatty stood there dumbfounded!

Ren He, putting on a serious face full of nonsense, explained to the parents: "The quality of education over in the Capital is really great, and their winter homework is the most reputable in the Capital area. It’s known as a high-quality collection of exercises, and many kids have even won gold medals in the youth math competitions because of this winter homework!"

The parents exclaimed: "Really? Is it that miraculous?"

"Yes, it’s just that miraculous!" said Ren He jubilantly.

Uncle Ren patted the mischievous child’s head and laughed: "Then I will have to supervise him to make sure he finishes all this winter homework!"

Little Fatty, with a fixed gaze on the thick pile of winter homework, was bewildered. What happened to the so-called peace offering? What happened to not being ambushed on the spot? What is this?! Sending winter homework during the New Year, is there no justice left?!

This is totally against humanity, you know?!

This was something Ren He had gone to great lengths to buy in a taxi before leaving the Capital. In fact, anyone who’s gone through elementary school winter homework knows that answers are sold outside, just a few bucks a book, and you can just copy the work. But even with the option to copy, it still feels like a burden to everyone.

And this Haidian District winter homework... Little Fatty didn’t even have a place to find the answers. He really had to do it all by himself! With such a thick stack, he probably won’t finish by the start of the school year...

Gold medal in the math competition... I’ve been beguiled by your evil!

When the Spring Festival Gala began, everyone was chatting and laughing while watching the show, except for the chubby Little Fatty, who was clutching the big gift box and sitting on the couch with a face full of despair, not knowing what to think...

Sitting beside him, Ren He said cheerfully, "Come to your cousin’s place next year for the New Year celebration too. I’ll bring you 3rd Grade winter homework, guaranteed to greatly benefit your studies!"

Disciplining the mischievous child, no quarter given!
