Chapter 642 Ready
For Xiao Shun, the dinner party tonight was not considered a success. Tan Guangqi’s unexpected move meant he couldn’t fully control the Harrow Chamber of Commerce, but it wasn’t a major issue. Even though half of the people had already left the Harrow Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Shun felt like he still had everything under control. He smoothly handed the plan to deal with the Tan family over to Fatty and Yao Cen. He wanted to take advantage of this time to relax.
Two days passed quickly. During this time, Harrow remained calm. With Fatty’s help, Yao Cen successfully took over the Harrow Chamber of Commerce, replacing the former president Tan Haohan. As most of the opposition had already left that night, the plan went smoothly. The Tan family had also been restrained recently, not resisting Starline’s oppression, and Yao Cen and others had not yet had the time to deal with the Tan family. Despite this, many discerning individuals had already realized that a storm was brewing in Harrow.
Early that morning, Zhuang Jin called Xiao Shun. “Boss, the school over there is completed. If you have time, you can come and have a look!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun put down the remaining piece of Wind Spirit in his hand and smiled.
An hour later, in the outskirts of Harrow, as soon as Xiao Shun got off the car, he saw the vast mountain range. This mountain range, called Brow Mountain Range in Harrow, was incredibly famous, stretching from north to south through the entire city, lush and green. His attention shifted to the foot of the main peak of the Brow Mountain Range, the “Apex Peak.”
Below the towering mountain, a group of buildings stood. Zhuang Jin, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked towards Xiao Shun with a smile on his face. “Boss, how does it look?” “Not bad!” Xiao Shun smiled and nodded.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon getting confirmation, Zhuang Jin grinned. “This place was originally meant for Persimmon Commercial to build an entertainment venue, and everything was ready. After I took over, I made some modifications, so the task was completed quickly.” This land for the school construction was like a ready-made gift for Xiao Shun. After all, it was commercial land bought by Persimmon Commercial, with all the building materials at hand, and he only had to pay for some labor costs.
Sha Hai was wise in his lifetime, but he never thought that all of his efforts would end up benefiting someone else. Although it is said that one reaps what one sows. The future he faced was of his own making, so there was no need to lament or regret.
Xiao Shun, led by Zhuang Jin, then visited the newly built campus. The school occupied a large area, with a large grass playground dividing the Southeast and Northwest four buildings. Each building had five floors of classrooms, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of students.
“Boss, do you think our school can recruit so many students this year?” Zhuang Jin looked at Xiao Shun with some confusion. When he started this project, he thought Xiao Shun only wanted to set up a small school, but after hearing his suggestions, he realized the scale of the school was immense. This scale could even compete with some of the large universities in Harrow.
Facing Zhuang Jin’s question, Xiao Shun remained silent and smiled. He took out his phone to make a call, but his phone rang first. Looking at the caller ID, Xiao Shun smiled lightly and answered the call. A hearty yet dignified laughter came from the other end. “Mr. Xiao, how is the preparation for your school over there?” “I was just about to call you about this.” Xiao Shun chuckled and replied, “The school construction is complete, now I’m waiting for you to bring the students.”
Upon hearing this, Song Qingzhou on the phone was delighted and replied gleefully, “Rest assured, since you informed me the day before yesterday, I have already found a group of exceptionally qualified children from all over, and I will send them to you tomorrow.” Xiao Shun nodded, “Alright, I will prepare for the school unveiling ceremony tomorrow, and you must attend.” Song Qingzhou’s special status is pivotal in the government. If he could attend the school unveiling tomorrow, it would undoubtedly boost the confidence of many forces hesitating between the Old School Society and New School Society. After all, a force recognized by the government, who would dare to question it?
As Xiao Shun pondered silently, Song Qingzhou on the phone continued, “The idea of the school and the New School Society itself was discussed between you and me to deal with the Old School Society. I happened to be busy during the establishment of the New School Society, but I will definitely not miss the school unveiling this time.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun felt a wave of relief and said, “Great, tomorrow I will be here waiting for Mr. Song’s presence.” “Not just me, but also the more than three thousand exceptionally qualified children.” Song Qingzhou laughed and then hung up.
“Boss, are we unveiling the school tomorrow?” Zhuang Jin spat out a mouthful of spit. “Strike while the iron’s hot!” Xiao Shun nodded lightly, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He had to establish the school while the Hero Cup’s momentum was still hot, using his invincible reputation in the competition to attract more people to join the school.
Zhuang Jin, unaware of Xiao Shun’s intentions, was not one to ask questions. Since the boss had spoken, he followed suit.
He asked, “Is there anything I need to do?” Xiao Shun pondered for a moment and replied, “Inform some of the local forces in Harrow to attend tomorrow’s school unveiling ceremony.” “No problem!” Zhuang Jin nodded heavily, then threw away his cigarette butt and walked straight to the school gate.
After watching him leave, Xiao Shun called Yao Cen and asked her to invite the local wealthy tycoons in Harrow to attend the school event tomorrow. Yao Cen readily agreed. Although she was a woman, she was a prominent figure in Harrow, and no one dared to disobey her orders.
After assigning these tasks, Xiao Shun then notified his disciples Yang Song and Ning Zhiyuan to go to the school with him. He also called Luo Yiqian and Ye Xun, asking them to come over to the school.
