"You must have something to say to me," Dean Xiao said with a smile, shaking his head. "Go ahead, what is it?"
"I want to buy Notting College!"
"What?"
Dean Xiao frowned, his eyes becoming serious as he looked up at Xiao Chenyu.
"I want to buy Notting College!"
Xiao Chenyu repeated it again to make sure Dean Xiao hadn't misheard.
"Aren't you just being ridiculous? The academy isn't a toy," Dean Xiao scolded.
"Yes, the academy is not a toy, but in my eyes, Notting Academy, which is managed by my third uncle, is already holding Notting City back."
Xiao Chenyu's words were ruthless, but he knew this was the best way to communicate with Dean Xiao.
If he tried to appeal to emotions, Dean Xiao wouldn't pay any attention to him.
Moreover, he is a junior, so this time he mainly needs to create the image of a messenger, rather than revealing his true intentions right away.
Dean Xiao laughed in anger after hearing this. "Notting City has been making a lot of moves lately. Your father sent you here, didn't he? Tell me, what is he going to say about me now?"
Xiao Chenyu chuckled, "You're the one who sees things clearly, but what Dad said is also true."
As he expected, after saying all that, Dean Xiao would naturally blame the matter on City Lord Xiao.
Before Dean Xiao could say anything, Xiao Chenyu continued:
“Things are different now. You should know that I’ve become the Crown Prince’s study companion. The Crown Prince will increase the development of Notting City, and the threshold for Notting Academy will be raised accordingly. The current management model is no longer suitable.”
"The Crown Prince..."
Dean Xiao frowned and sighed inwardly.
If it were just about developing Nottingham, he could stick to his opinion.
But since the matter involved the Crown Prince, he knew that things were already out of control.
From the very beginning, he did not want Xiao Chenyu to become the Crown Prince's tutor. The deeper he got involved with those nobles, the more likely he would be to be dragged into a quagmire.
It now seems that City Lord Xiao and Xiao Chenyu are already caught up in it.
"Uncle, I have innate full soul power. I would rather live a life of great achievements than a life of mediocrity."
Xiao Chenyu, who had gleaned something from Dean Xiao's expression, spoke with the spirited confidence of a young man.
Of course, I only told this to my family. If I didn't know Qian Renxue's true identity, who would dare to gamble like that?
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chenyu changed the subject, his expression becoming sincere and earnest:
“If you’re reluctant, we will fund the construction of a junior academy for you in another location, and you can take all the current students and teachers with you.”
This was his honest opinion, and it was also his bargaining chip for buying the academy.
Dean Xiao was also a great help to him. If the other party was unwilling to get involved, he would definitely be willing to spend money to build an academy even better than Notting Academy.
"Alright, tell me your plan for change. I don't need the money, but I want to retain my position as Dean of Notting Academy." Dean Xiao shook his head and made the final decision.
Now that Xiao Chenyu and his son have made their choice, how could he, as a family member, back down at this time?
When Xiao Chenyu runs into trouble, his experience as someone who's been through it all can always offer some help.
“Thank you, Uncle! The Crown Prince said that if you are willing to stay, you will still be the nominal dean of Notting Academy!” Xiao Chenyu said earnestly.
Despite the nominal appointment, Xiao Chenyu had no intention of actually letting Dean Xiao take the position.
In terms of strength, Dean Xiao is definitely one of the top in Notting City.
However, in terms of management ability, Dean Xiao is not on the same level as City Lord Xiao at all.
Of course, as he said this, Xiao Chenyu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance.
Although he was in charge of the matter, it still needed the 'Crown Prince's' approval.
However, Qian Renxue had no objection to this matter.
For her, getting Notting Academy up and running was enough. Of course, it would be even better if it could eventually surpass Spirit Academy.
However, she also knew that this was unrealistic.
If we find a team of highly talented Soul Masters to focus on training, and have the support of the Elder Hall and the Crown Prince's Mansion, then there is still a sliver of hope.
There is absolutely no hope of surpassing the Martial Soul Academy with existing resources.
In terms of teaching staff and student quality alone, they are not even in the same league.
"good!"
Dean Xiao readily agreed, mainly because he wanted to stay and lend a hand.
As for Notting College, it would be impossible not to feel reluctant to leave.
However, being able to witness the development of Notting College firsthand somewhat made up for his regrets.
Upon hearing Dean Xiao's agreement, Xiao Chenyu smiled:
“Uncle, now that you’ve agreed, let’s discuss the reform of Notting Academy.”
"Um!"
Dean Xiao nodded, knowing that Xiao Chenyu had come mainly to discuss this matter.
As for the affiliation of Notting Academy, he will probably just be informed.
"First, Notting Academy will be divided into Notting Senior Academy and Notting Junior Academy. Notting City will allocate the entire northern part of the city to the academy, ensuring that the academy becomes self-sufficient within 5 years."
"Advanced academy... qualifications aren't a major issue, the faculty and student body..."
Dean Xiao looked up at Xiao Chenyu and shook his head.
If they knew it was the Crown Prince who was going to open an advanced Soul Master Academy, they could at least get some decent teachers.
Even without Contra's support, a lineup of several Soul Saints and Soul Emperors would be more than enough.
As for the final student intake, it's not a big problem.
Once you establish a reputation, good students will naturally flock to you.
At least compared to the recently established Canghui Advanced Soul Master Academy, Dean Xiao doesn't think Notting Academy can compete.
