“What are you standing there for?
Are you waiting to get yelled at and have to pay compensation?
Run!” As he ran, he secretly rejoiced: ‘Luckily, I ran fast!
Losing money?
That’s impossible!
I’d never lose money in my life!’ Zhu Zhuqing, holding the heavy wooden plaque, watched her teacher’s retreating figure, which was faster than a rabbit, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She discovered that her teacher seemed a bit unreliable, and even a little mischievous!
If it were her, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.
The two ran at breakneck speed, kicking up clouds of dust, and unknowingly arrived at the dilapidated village where Shrek Academy was located.
From afar, a long line could already be seen forming at the village entrance.
“Zhuqing…” Lin Feng stopped and instructed, “I think you’re right, preparation is very important!
Now, I’m giving you a glorious task: go and find out if that little courtyard across from Shrek Academy is available for rent!” Zhu Zhuqing, holding the wooden plaque, was somewhat bewildered: “What?
Rent a house?
Teacher, isn’t this a bit hasty?” She had already guessed what Lin Feng was planning to do.
Is it enough to just put up a plaque and rent a small courtyard to start an Academy?
“Um?” Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile, “Only your first day as a disciple, and you dare to question your master’s decision?” Zhu Zhuqing didn’t want to be labeled like that, so she lowered her head and replied, “Okay, alright, I’ll go ask right away!” She handed the plaque to Lin Feng and turned to leave.
As she walked, she was still mentally ranting: ‘Isn’t this hasty approach questionable?’ She had only taken two steps when Lin Feng’s earnest words of advice echoed behind her, his voice carried on the wind: “Remember to haggle!
Haggle like crazy!” Zhu Zhuqing stumbled!
She steadied herself, took a deep breath, and walked toward the dilapidated courtyard with a frustrated expression.
Lin Feng slowly approached, his gaze falling on the winding queue in front of Shrek Academy.
‘I don’t understand why so many people would sign up in such a remote village.’ This is truly bizarre.
He carried the plaque and slowly walked around the crowd a few times, but couldn’t find the person he wanted to see.
Thinking that the two people probably hadn’t arrived yet, he turned around and saw Zhu Zhuqing waving at him from the opposite side.
He walked straight over and asked, “How did it go?
Is it done?” Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him: “Ten gold coins a month.
The courtyard is quite spacious.
What do you think of the price, teacher?
Do you want to rent it?” Lin Feng silently considered the matter, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, let’s rent it for a month first.” After saying that, he reluctantly took out ten gold coins and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated and didn’t reach out her hand.
Now she no longer needs to pay the registration fee; she can use the gold coins she has saved to rent this courtyard.
Consider it tuition.
After all, the things Lin Feng gave her were priceless.
Spending this little bit of money herself is totally worth it, and it even makes the teacher happy.
“Teacher, please keep the money.
I’ll pay the rent.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and quickly walked towards the landlord to continue discussing the details.
Seeing this, Lin Feng put the gold coins back in his pocket, not caring who paid for them.
Saving a little bit is something he’s happy about.
He walked to the courtyard gate, gestured with his hand, and then hung the plaque on the door frame.
Just as the plaque was hung up, the original owner and his family came out with large and small bags, greeted him briefly, and left without a second thought.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but wonder: ‘Did I give them too many gold coins?
Will I get beaten up if I try to bargain now?’ He thought about it and decided against it, since it wasn’t his money anyway.
After everyone had left, he stepped into the courtyard and took a walk around.
Except for some valuable items that were taken away, almost everything else was left behind.
It must be said that this courtyard is indeed quite nice, with plenty of rooms, after all, it used to house a large family.
The kitchen and dining room are fully equipped, making it quite a good temporary place to stay, since we won’t be staying long anyway.
“Teacher, we still need to clean up a bit.
Why don’t you go outside and wait a moment?
I’ll take care of this.” Lin Feng waved his hand and immediately assigned her a new task: “The cleaning isn’t urgent.
Go outside and keep an eye out.
If you see a girl with brown hair and wearing a light blue lace-trimmed skirt, her name is Ning Rongrong.
Also, the girl with braids and wearing a pink skirt from yesterday is called Xiao Wu.
You’ve seen them before.
Try to persuade them to invite them to our academy.” Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Why did this kind of job fall to her?
Will you really get beaten up for poaching someone’s student right in front of their Academy?
“Teacher, are you serious?” “Of course, otherwise why would we be here?” Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and replied.
Zhu Zhuqing looked reluctant, but she still obediently went out.
Unable to disobey her master’s orders, she could only stand outside the courtyard, looking around for her target.
Before long, she caught a glimpse of the man and woman she had seen at the hotel yesterday, one of whom was the one Lin Feng had mentioned, named Xiao Wu.
Once again, she felt that Lin Feng seemed to have the ability to foresee the future, even predicting that they would appear in front of Shrek Academy.
This wasn’t the first time this had happened; she had tentatively inquired before, but the teacher never offered an explanation.
As Tang San and Xiao Wu drew closer and closer, they finally stopped in front of Shrek Academy and consciously joined the queue.
“Xiao Wu, we’ve arrived.
This is it.” Xiao Wu looked around and couldn’t help but mutter, “Xiao San, this place is so shabby!
Why did you have to choose to enroll here?” Tang San remained calm: “It was clearly you who insisted on coming with me.” Xiao Wu pouted, displeased but said nothing more.
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t hear what they were saying; she only knew it was time for her to go to work.
Once the two of them had stopped, she quietly approached and gently tugged at Xiao Wu’s sleeve.
Xiao Wu turned around alertly and looked at Zhu Zhuqing: “Who are you?
What do you want?
I won’t give you this position.” Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, as she was misunderstood as trying to steal a seat.
She leaned closer to Xiao Wu and whispered, “Can you come with me for a moment?
I have something I want to tell you.” Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a puzzled expression.
She was certain that she did not know this person!
Tang San was standing nearby and naturally heard their conversation.
Seeing that the other person was also a girl, he didn’t stop her, but he was also a little curious: ‘what exactly did this person want to do?’ Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, seeking his opinion with her eyes.
Since it was just a few words anyway, Tang San didn’t pay much attention and nodded, saying, “Go on, come back quickly, it’s our turn to register soon.” So, Zhu Zhuqing led Xiao Wu to the entrance of the Supreme Academy across the street and finally spoke: “Your name is Xiao Wu, right?” Xiao Wu was stunned.
In this remote village, someone actually knew her name?
Has her reputation as the “big sister” spread this far?
