This was not the first time she had seen such an ingrate, and she knew that it would not be the last.
This was human nature. She could not expect everyone to be grateful.
But she could not be a white lotus who could magnanimously forgive others after being cheated.
If she repaid evil with good, how could she repay good?
Those teachers had long placed themselves in a very high position because they had studied for a few more years.
To be honest, they looked down on the Gong family.
They always felt that the Gong family was nothing more than a tasteless nouveau riche.
"Teacher Su, when we first came, the Gong family promised that we could come and go freely. Why are you going back on your word now? "
The teacher who was clamoring to leave glared at her. Even though he had a guilty conscience, he felt that the Gong family could not do anything to him.
"Going back on my word? Of course not. We don't accept all kinds of trash here. But you didn't read our contract in detail, did you? "
She raised an eyebrow and smiled innocently.
The teacher looked surprised. According to procedure, they were indeed supposed to sign a contract with the main family.
But at that time, their attention was mostly attracted by the various generous terms and conditions. They did not remember much else.
"According to the contract, you must work at the Si Tai Academy for the next five years. During this period, the Gong family and the academy will be responsible for your funeral, wedding, and other expenses in addition to your salary. But at the same time, you have your own responsibilities. "
She looked at the teachers. Each of their faces was filled with astonishment. She could not help but feel a surge of satisfaction.
They deserved it!
They thought that the Gong family was a sucker, so all of them wanted to dig their way into the academy.
Now, she would let them know the true colors of the Gong family's profiteers.
And so, she changed the topic.
"Your responsibility is to do all the teaching work well. At the same time, you must maintain the image of the Si Tai Academy and the Gong family. If you fail to do any of these, it will be considered a breach of contract. After the breach, you will have to pay us a penalty. "
There was a hint of coldness in her words.
To be honest, her original idea about the penalty for breaching the contract was just to serve as a warning.
But now, it had become a tightly-wound iron chain around the necks of these rabid dogs.
"Penalty? What penalty? "
The group of gentlemen was immediately dumbfounded. Moreover, the contract did not specify how much the penalty fee was.
"To put it simply, if we fire you within five years, we'll pay for the breach of contract, which means we'll give you a portion of the compensation. On the contrary, if you take the initiative to leave, then you'll have to compensate us for our losses. In other words, you'll have to pay us a huge sum of money. "
Her eyes flashed with a scheming light. As soon as she finished speaking, those people were dumbfounded.
Naturally, they weren't willing to pay.
"So you guys are actually so shameless! To think that I thought you really wanted to do good things for the people of the world! "
Was there someone who wanted to retaliate against her with a red face and neck?
Unfortunately, she was made of iron. Even if she broke the teeth of those beasts, she wouldn't be afraid at all.
"Let me ask you, did you see the contract with your own eyes? Have we arranged for someone to explain it to you? Was there a third party present when you signed the contract? "
She looked around coldly, not giving them the slightest chance to quibble.
"Every single one of you here first explained the terms of the contract. Then, Mr. Liang confirmed it repeatedly and made a record with the officials before signing the contract. You can break the contract now, or you can swagger off, but I can't guarantee that your reputation for going back on your word won't reach the ears of others. "
After she finished speaking lightly, she spread her hands to show that she had no intention of threatening them.
Just now, these people had been baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Now, each and every one of them was like a frosted eggplant.
They had initially thought that even if they were no longer teaching at the Si Tai Academy, they would at least be able to find a decent job with their generous salaries over the past few months.
But now, not only would they have to pay for it, but they would also have to drag their own reputations down the drain.
Only now did they understand that in terms of the thickness of their waists, they were far from the Gong family's.
"Then, then how much do we have to pay?"
They asked in trepidation, still clinging to that tiny sliver of hope in their hearts.
Now, they actually hoped that the Gong family would be as benevolent as they were rumored to be, and not haggle over this matter with them.
"In the contract, the compensation is made up of two parts. The first part is the losses you have caused to the academy. Since the academy has yet to officially start classes and enroll students, I can discuss this with Mr. Liang after he recovers. The other part is the losses you have caused to the Gong family. "
She shot her third brother a look. After all, he would be the one to manage the academy in the future. She would leave it to him to decide how to deal with this group of people.
Unexpectedly, Gong San had already thought it through.
"The Gong family has always been benevolent. Although what you have done is really disappointing, the Gong family will not be ruthless. In that case, you will have to compensate for all your salaries, food, and lodging for these three months. As for the damage to our reputation, the Gong family will not bother about it. "
When the crowd heard this, they wished they could hug Third Young Master Gong's thighs and call him Buddha.
But Lin Mengya felt that the three of them had the potential to become unscrupulous businessmen.
Gong San looked at the numbers on the abacus with a smile on his face. After hearing the frightening sound of the abacus, he looked at the numbers on the abacus and said without frowning, "I have just looked at it.
"I took a look just now. Roughly, each person has to pay a hundred and three taels of silver as compensation. I don't think you are rich, so let's round it up and forget about the four taels. "
He was really generous.
Lin Mengya almost laughed out loud. Actually, it was easy to calculate the salaries, but not many people knew about the so-called food and lodging.
After all, only the academy's administrator knew about these things.
One hundred taels of silver was not a lot to them, but it was a little difficult for these people.
It was not a sky-high sum, but it was not easy to raise either.
Most importantly, they couldn't bring themselves to argue with the steward one by one.
Moreover, they were probably too embarrassed to borrow money from their acquaintances.
"Everyone, it's getting late. If you want to leave, you'd better hurry."
She set them on fire from time to time, continuing to torture the arrogant self-esteem of those people who were on the verge of collapse.
"Ask these people to leave. After all, they are all talented, knowledgeable, famous, and well-respected people. I don't think they would do something like running away. "
Gong San said casually. With just a few words, those people's faces turned ugly for a while.
Although he was unwilling, he was still taken away by the Gong Family in the end.
As for their final outcome, Lin Mengya did not care.
Anyway, she knew that Third Elder Brother would not let them off easily.
After the situation was under control, Lin Mengya and Gong San immediately began to check on Mr. Liang's condition.
"Mr. Liang, how are you feeling now?"
She had secretly felt his pulse. Fortunately, he was just angry in a moment, and that was why he had become like this.
Fortunately, Qi Yue had handled it well, and Mr. Liang had always been in good health, so it did not cause more serious consequences.
"Don't pretend to be kind! If not for you, my father would not have become like this! "
Liang Yue's eyes were red from crying, but she did not reflect on herself. Instead, she glared at Lin Mengya. In her heart, she had already pushed all the blame to that slut.
If not for that slut, Su Mei, those people would not have joined forces to resist, and she would not have contradicted her father in order to make this happen.
But in her heart, there was a faint resentment against her father, who had always loved her.
In the past, her father had never said a harsh word to her.
What kind of bewitching potion did that slut feed her father? For that slut, her father actually treated her like this!
No matter how she thought about it, she could not swallow this resentment.
Su Mei, that slut, had to pay for the grievances she had suffered with her death!
A trace of viciousness flashed across Liang Yue's eyes.
Coincidentally, Lin Mengya caught it.
She sneered in her heart. As a person of two lives, when did she want to make things difficult for others?
Unfortunately, there were always some people who wanted to drag her into it.
Since this was the case, she could only work hard to be a winner.
"Miss Liang, please pay attention to your words."
Gong San frowned. He had met Liang Yue a few times.
In his memory, although Liang Yue could not be considered a lady from a respectable family, she could be considered as an innocent and lively girl.
But why did she become so ugly now?
Liang Yue heard the displeasure in his tone and was shocked. Suddenly, her expression changed.
She bit her lips pitifully and looked up at him with a pair of watery eyes that were slightly red.
"Third Young Master, I … I just spoke without thinking in a moment of anger. You know Yue 'er. Yue' er has never had the intention to harm others. It was because I was too worried about my father that I acted so rashly. "
Her words were spoken in a rather weak manner, but in an instant, her evil intentions were reduced to the lowest point.
Unfortunately, if Su Mei was only a female teacher who had nothing to do with the Gong Family, then Third Elder Brother might have believed Liang Yue.
However, how Liang Yue had described her and Qi Yue in such a deplorable manner, and how she had forced her father to act up word by word, Third Older Brother had clearly heard it and imprinted it in his heart.
From then on, Third Elder Brother would never believe a single word that Liang Yue said.
"Alright, since you know that your father is in poor health, you should take good care of him. Someone, invite Madam Liang and the two ladies from the Liang Family here. "
"Yes."
Liang Yue panicked when she heard that.
She wanted to stop Gong San's men, but unfortunately, she was one step too late.
