Protect Our Chief-Chapter 556 - 37: Master’s Responsibility! I’ll Take It~_3

At this moment, Wang Liyao had lifted her "plain and ordinary" makeup technique, revealing her stunning beauty.

Even though Lady Illusion Butterfly and Master Xuan Yao were at the Master level, they couldn’t help but show indulgent expressions when looking at Wang Liyao. This child, despite her young age, possessed limitless potential and was the future pillar of the Purple Mansion Academy. She was exceptionally beautiful, embodying all grace, like a divine lady descending to the mortal world,

"Senior Brother Yuan Shui, Senior Sister Illusion Butterfly, Senior Brother Xuan Yao." Wang Liyao got up and bowed politely, "Liyao has a business proposal here, and I would like the three Ascendants to review it." With that, she courteously handed over three copies of the proposal to the three Ascendants.

She explained, "According to Liyao’s statistics and investigation, our academy has thirty Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots, which involve driving by Spirit Platform Realm disciples, feeding of the Spiritual Birds, maintenance of the Spirit Wood Flying Chariot carriages, and upkeep of the Weight Reduction Array in the carriages. Annually, this totals approximately four hundred and fifty thousand Qian Gold in maintenance costs."

"However, at the same time, the utilization rate of the Spiritual Bird Flying Chariot is very low. After converting with academic credits and so on, the average annual income is only two hundred thousand Qian Gold. As a result, the academy suffers a deficit of twenty-five thousand Qian Gold annually on the Spiritual Bird Flying Chariot."

Master Xuan Yao and Lady Illusion Butterfly had, in fact, been privately communicated with by Wang Luqiu and Wang Luojing, and already understood the intentions and plans of the Wang Family. However, some pretense was still necessary at this moment.

"Oh? I wasn’t aware previously that the Spiritual Bird Flying Chariot had such a huge annual loss?" Lady Illusion Butterfly feigned surprise, "It’s truly heart-wrenching."

"Indeed, even if our academy has a substantial foundation, we cannot squander resources like this?" Master Xuan Yao also wore an expression of distress, "Twenty-five thousand Qian Gold a year, two hundred and fifty thousand for ten years! In a thousand years, that’s two hundred and fifty million Qian Gold, which is equivalent to the entire wealth of a Purple Mansion Family."

The temporary acting headmaster who managed the academy, Yuan Shui Ascendant, turned dark. Were these guys indicting him? Was this system set by him, Yuan Shui? These Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots were the result of his master’s pursuit of prestige and face...

Alright, alright!

Disciple doesn’t blame the master; this burden Yuan Shui Ascendant must shoulder. After awkwardly coughing twice, he said, "Exaggerating centuries is unnecessary; don’t mention it indiscriminately. Glancing at the proposal, it seems that Changning Wang Family wishes to ’contract’ these Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots?"

"Senior Brother Yuan Shui." Wang Liyao smiled gently, looking charming as she said, "My father’s intention is that our Wang Family is willing to contract these thirty Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots for 600,000 Qian Gold per year. This way, not only will the academy avoid losing those 250,000 Qian Gold, but it can also earn an additional 150,000. The difference, year by year, amounts to 400,000."

"This... What is the purpose behind the Wang Family’s investment of such substantial capital to contract these chariots?" Although Yuan Shui Ascendant was also accustomed to big scenes, a Seventh-Grade Noble Family being able to invest 600,000 Qian Gold annually was indeed a testament to their immense financial strength.

"Senior Brother Yuan Shui, this is a business secret of our Wang Family." Wang Liyao, having been influenced since childhood, was naturally not just an innocent little girl who knew nothing, "Also, the core disciples in the academy can still use the chariots, and the price will be much lower than before."

"Yuan Shui, where else could you find such a good deal?" Master Xuan Yao chimed in, "With the Wang Family helping to maintain these chariots, how many core disciples can we cultivate with that extra 400,000 Qian Gold?"

Just when Yuan Shui Ascendant was still slightly hesitant, suddenly, the headmaster’s voice rang out: "Good, good, good, truly worthy of being my outstanding disciple. Just recently admitted and already starting to earn money for the academy. Sigh, Yuan Shui, you really need to learn from your junior sister. Stop squandering resources~"

Yuan Shui Ascendant was stunned; he was about to cry.

After master had the junior sister, he didn’t even close his door anymore and wandered outside all day. That aside, these Spiritual Bird Flying Chariots were, after all, the burden left by master years ago!

Yet, regardless of how bitter it is, he could only swallow his tears. If he didn’t shoulder master’s burden, who would?
