“Principal Ye, right? I think our school has too few basketball courts. Could you find some time to build ten or eight more on campus?”
The boy who had been resting with his eyes closed stepped forward and spoke in a commanding tone.
The principal was ordered to build another ten or eight basketball courts all at once?!
Ye Chen felt a pang of emotion.
If the other party says they want to build one or two, or even two or three, Ye Chen thinks it's negotiable.
After all, this is a good thing, as it shows that students are being encouraged to exercise.
To ask them to build ten or eight at once is simply outrageous.
It's worth noting that as a prestigious private school, it already has a lot of sports facilities, such as a swimming pool, volleyball court, badminton court, soccer field, and so on.
There's even a small golf course next to the school.
According to the information Ye Chen had previously reviewed, Elton International University already had more than a dozen basketball courts, which was quite a lot considering the university's size.
Moreover, after entering the school, Ye Chen drove past two basketball courts, and there were no more than five people on both courts combined.
Now this guy actually wants the school to build ten basketball courts?!
"Um, Cui, ten or eight is indeed too many. How about we build four more?"
Ye Chen remained silent, but the vice principal next to him spoke first.
Moreover, his opening remarks were not a rejection, but rather an attempt to negotiate and bargain with the other party.
“Vice Principal Lu, I think you’re wrong. If we’re going to build, why only build four? We should build ten or eight.”
No sooner had the vice principal finished speaking than dissenting voices arose.
However, this time it wasn't the boy who offered the suggestion who spoke up, but Ye Chen.
The students in the office, as well as the vice principal, looked at Ye Chen with some surprise. They hadn't expected Ye Chen to say that.
After a moment of stunned silence, Han Shao and the other students in the office became smug.
Wasn't the new principal just now very assertive?
So, after hearing the vice principal's account of their identities, you know they're not to be trifled with, right?
That kid knows what's good for him.
"Thank you, Principal."
The boy who offered his opinion smiled smugly, and then prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Seeing this, Ye Chen stopped the other party.
"Since you made this request yourself, not the whole school, you'll have to pay for the construction of these ten basketball courts."
Ye Chen also smiled and spoke:
“Our school has limited space, and now we need to allocate a large area to build a basketball court, which will require a lot of funding.”
"Building a basketball court costs about 20 million yuan, so ten basketball courts would cost 200 million yuan."
"After it's built, there will be maintenance and other miscellaneous expenses every year. Ten basketball courts would cost at least 50 million a year. You can support the maintenance costs for five years, which would be 250 million."
"Student, if you calculate it this way, you only need to spend a mere 450 million to get the ten basketball courts you want."
As Ye Chen finished speaking, the entire office fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
A mere 450 million.
Is this what you call "merely"?!
That's a huge number.
"You really dare to ask for that?"
The boy who made the request sneered repeatedly.
Building a basketball court, even a basic one, might only cost around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, while a better one would cost several hundred thousand yuan.
But this kid wants 20 million to build a basketball court, that's a 100-fold increase!
Moreover, in addition to the construction costs, they also expect me to pay 250 million in maintenance fees. They're treating me like a sucker.
Let alone more than 400 million, he can't even come up with 40 million.
"Hehe, it's not that I actually dare to ask for it, it's that you actually dare to say it."
Ye Chen retorted to the boy.
"If you can't even come up with a mere four hundred million, what kind of demands are you making?"
"If you're bored, go to class or go play basketball."
Ye Chen immediately told him to leave.
The boy was speechless after being confronted, and in desperation, he simply turned and left.
Standing not far away, Han Shao's expression turned serious. This new principal didn't give them any face at all; the first person he sent had returned empty-handed.
Seeing this, Han Shao gave another thin student a look, signaling him to test Ye Chen.
This student has a more impressive background and identity than the boy from before.
The skinny boy stood up, walked up to Ye Chen, and said arrogantly:
"I'm a sophomore majoring in finance. The female counselor the school assigned to our class is too ugly. I hope you can fire her and replace her with a prettier one."
It seems they never took the principal seriously, so the other party didn't even bother to make up lies or excuses, and just told the truth.
Um? ! ! !
After hearing what the other person said, Ye Chen was stunned.
This was the first time he had ever heard such an outrageous request.
Because the counselor is not pretty, they want to order the school to fire him and replace him with someone prettier.
This isn't a student, this is practically a living ancestor!
"Well, Qin, dismissing the other party is a bit too much. Teacher Lin is a dedicated worker and a very good teacher. How about this, we will consider getting a new counselor for your class."
The vice principal spoke gently.
Faced with such an outrageous request, the vice principal not only did not get angry, but also tactfully agreed.
“Principal Ye, this guy has a very powerful background, second only to that guy surnamed Han. Changing the counselor isn’t an unreasonable request, so let’s agree.”
After the vice principal finished speaking, he whispered some words of advice to Ye Chen.
"That's fine too."
The thin boy was quite satisfied with the vice principal's answer.
"Wait, Vice Principal Lu is wrong. The school will not only not replace this Teacher Lin, but will also praise her."
"As for you, you will receive a demerit."
Ye Chen spoke up, not only refusing to agree with the other party, but also giving them a punishment.
"What did you say? You're going to punish me?!"
The skinny boy could hardly believe his ears.
"Kid, do you know who I am? How dare you punish me?"
The skinny boy pointed at Ye Chen and began to threaten him.
"Threatening the principal? Very well, now you don't need to be punished. You can pack your things and get out. You're expelled."
