The school can accommodate thousands of people and has not only bright classrooms, but also a canteen, dormitories, playgrounds, and many other things that they don't understand.
"Hey, there's a library here too?" someone's eyes lit up.
"I heard this is different from the one outside. There aren't any books here yet, but they'll be added gradually. However, the variety certainly won't be as rich as the ones outside. But it's still good because it can be open to students at will in the future."
"This is actually a dormitory. Compared to an inn, apart from being smaller and having fewer things, it's not much different. Students here are so lucky."
“I just saw it. There’s such a big open space over there. They say it’s for students to exercise in the future. Principal Chi’s training here will be different from the training outside. Physical fitness is also very important.”
"I wonder if they'll still accept someone my age. I'd love to study here too."
"Forget about it this time. I've already asked, and currently the enrollment is only for the children of inn staff and some special talents. We'll have to see how the school arranges things."
"How can those girls even study?" the man asked with disdain and deep incomprehension.
"Heh, you're from out of town, aren't you? In our Huaixi City, women have a high status. You'd better change your mindset as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many more things you won't like in the future, and you'll suffer then." The other person's tone was sarcastic, completely forgetting that he had thought the same way a few months ago.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and Chi Mu was also unable to calm down.
This was his first time seriously visiting a campus, and thinking about how he would be teaching and educating people here in the future, he couldn't wait for the semester to start.
Chi Mu shared the same thoughts as several of his friends. Some were nearing forty, some were still thinking of continuing their studies through the imperial examinations in an attempt to enter officialdom, and some were disheartened and only taught two or three students in their hometown.
After receiving Chi Mu's letter, they came here mainly because it was a land of immortals, a place where they could get closer to the immortals.
The moment they saw the stone tablet at the school gate, the seed of defiance hidden in their hearts took root and sprouted again.
They were full of common sense, but their personalities were really not suited for an official career; otherwise, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time due to being suppressed by others. Since they were fortunate enough to be chosen by the immortals to teach here, and had such good teaching conditions, they didn't think about anything else and only wanted to focus on teaching.
Soon, the first enrollment event for the Fairy Inn began.
For the inn's staff, the thought of their children attending such a wonderful school with renowned teachers was more valuable than anything else. As soon as the enrollment announcement was made, eligible children eagerly signed up.
Due to limited teaching resources, the number of places available for students who are not employees' children is limited, and they also need to undergo an assessment.
However, this phenomenon is only temporary. The school has already announced the recruitment of teachers, and it is believed that the teaching staff will be further improved soon.
An Ge barely interfered in school affairs. She only drafted a set of school rules and teaching guidelines based on the situation of her previous school and gave them to Chi Mu, making it clear to him that these things were for reference only.
An Ge did this for two reasons. First, the social environment is different. With her around, the school can make exceptions for some things, but if it interferes too much, it will be difficult to adapt.
Secondly, it was because of her absolute trust in Chi Mu. Putting aside everything else, at least in the area of teaching students, An Ge was ashamed of herself.
Chi Mu felt deeply moved by An Ge's trust in him and resolved to run the school well.
He stared at the school rules and teaching guidelines that An Ge had given him, his eyes widening.
"Yes, that's how it should be done." Chi Mu couldn't help but applaud.
He had always felt that learning should not be solely for the purpose of passing the imperial examinations, but he didn't know how to do it specifically. An Ge's booklet gave him inspiration.
Soon after, Xianyuan School issued a new notice, but this time it wasn't for enrollment; it was for hiring teachers. The reason this notice caused such a stir was that the teachers they were recruiting were not scholars, but craftsmen and farmers, regardless of gender.
Many people felt that Chi Mu's behavior was absurd; the shop manager had entrusted the school to him, yet he had squandered it. Some students were heartbroken, feeling that Chi Mu shouldn't have done this, and their initial desire to apply for the job had faded.
In An Ge's words, these people probably feel that their idol's persona has collapsed.
An Ge thought that Chi Mu's approach was correct. Her original intention in opening the school was not just to have students take the imperial examination, but to cultivate talents in many fields.
Regardless of what people thought, the number of applicants for jobs at Xianyuan School still exceeded expectations.
They originally came because of the reputation of the immortals, but they immediately changed their minds after seeing the teaching benefits and conditions.
With such excellent learning conditions and no oppression from aristocratic families, only a fool wouldn't stay.
Chi Mu was quite self-aware. Although he had a certain influence among scholars, it was not enough to attract excellent teachers. In the end, he relied on the reputation of being an immortal.
However, he was confident that this was only temporary. Once the Immortal Affinity School had grown and developed, even without immortals, many people would still come to it.
With the school's development on track, An Ge immediately began arranging the construction of the foundry workshop. Once all these matters were settled, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Yunmo finally returned from the capital.
"Manager, I've missed you so much these past few days," Yunmo joked as soon as they met.
An Ge felt that Yun Mo's smile didn't reach his eyes, and considering his state when he left, she wisely refrained from asking further questions.
"Oh, you've finally decided to come back? I thought you were going to develop your career in Beijing."
"Look at what you're saying, nothing in the capital has the development potential of Huaixi City. I also brought some good news with me when I returned to the capital this time." Yunmo said mysteriously, but seeing that it didn't arouse much interest in Ange, she pouted in disappointment.
"Many merchants in Beijing aspire to work in shopping malls, and some of the better ones are planning to rent a stall there."
"I'm leaving this to you. You can handle it yourself."
"You trust me way too much. After all, the mall is yours."
“But you have shares now. I’m not afraid of losing money, and you aren’t?” Before Yunmo left, Ange told him about the shares. After acquiring the shares, Yunmo became more attentive to the business.
Yunmo sighed and rubbed his forehead. He knew he couldn't treat the store manager as just an ordinary partner. The manager didn't care about the mall's profits or losses, but he couldn't. This time, he had invested a considerable amount of money.
After discussing it with Yunmo, Ange decided to allow merchants to gradually move into the mall in the coming days.
After Yunmo left, Ange opened the system shop that she hadn't used in a long time and gritted her teeth to buy the layout blueprint.
With the increasing number of buildings, some layouts are clearly unreasonable, so Ange decided to replan them using a layout blueprint.
An Ge clicked on the blueprint, and the next second it turned into starlight and vanished. Just as she was feeling a little curious, she heard a gasp from outside.
