Chapter 803 - The Principal Come Back to School!

It was Li Ji who was calling.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Qiu picked up the phone and assumed that Li Ji had encountered some resistance while reporting to his superior.

Li Ji said, “It’s approved.”

“What?”

Fang Qiu was stunned at first, but then he spoke in surprise, “So fast?”

“Is it?”

Li Ji smiled and said, “In fact, the land you want is difficult to develop. Under normal circumstances, no one wants this kind of land. In addition, the desert needs to be managed and the land near the snow-capped mountain is of no use, so the higher-ups directly granted you the land.”

“How much is it?” Fang Qiu asked.

After all, it was Yang Ningyuan who would be paying for it. He had to know the specific amount.

Li Ji said, “The higher-ups won’t ask for much money from you. They simply requested a small amount as a symbolic gesture. I’ve sent the signed documents directly to your cultivation base, so you can pay according to the amount on the paper.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction.

After he hung up, Fang Qiu called Zhao Shanlin and asked him to go through the deeds for the land as soon he received them so that he could know the price.

Then he would directly inform Yang Ningyuan that he needed to purchase these two pieces of land. He asked Zhao Shanlin to meet Yang Ningyuan on behalf of their company and sign the land purchase contract.

After he was done, Fang Qiu began to ponder.

“We do have the land now, but we don’t have enough people.”

Indeed, when he extended the place, the original number of people was obviously not enough.

However, what Fang Qiu referred to was not just an ordinary worker, but a professional in this field.

He could not let Zhao Shanlin travel all around. After all, Mr. Zhao was already old and it was not suitable for him to travel constantly.

“Professional!”

With that thought in mind, the first person that came to Fang Qiu’s mind was Chen Yinsheng.

As the Vice President of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, Chen Yinsheng certainly knew plenty of professionals.

As he thought about it, Fang Qiu took out his phone and was ready to call Chen Yinsheng.

To his surprise, the moment he took out his phone, it rang.

He took a closer look.

It was Chen Yinsheng’s name on the screen.

Fang Qiu couldn’t help but be stunned by the name display.

“Does this mean that we have a mutual understanding?”

He shook his head and smiled.

Fang Qiu immediately answered and said, “Vice President Chen?”

“Yes.”

Chen Yinsheng nodded and said, “Why did you not come back to school after returning to Huaxia?”

Fang Qiu said awkwardly, “I am at the Chinese Medicine Hospital.”

“Come back to school quickly.”

Chen Yinsheng said, “The principal is back. He wants to see you.”

Fang Qiu was confused.

It was not until then that he realized what was happening.

The principal that Chen Yinsheng had mentioned was the actual president of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. Chen Yinsheng had always been the vice president, but because the president had never made an appearance, Fang Qiu had always regarded Chen Yinsheng as the actual president out of habit.

However, after giving it some thought, this president was quite a mystery. It was the first time that Fang Qiu had ever heard about him since he entered the university.

“Why does the principal want to see me?” Fang Qiu asked.

“Does he need a reason to see you?”

Chen Yinsheng answered grumpily and then continued, “Hurry up. Come back right now. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the office building.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

After Fang Qiu returned to the consulting room and said goodbye to Xu Miaolin, he left the hospital and hurried back to school.

Back at school, Fang Qiu went to the staff office building immediately.

As expected, he saw Chen Yinsheng standing at the entrance of the building and waiting from a distance.

“Vice President.” Fang Qiu hurriedly went up to him.

“Yes.”

Chen Yinsheng nodded slightly and said, “The principal is waiting for you in the office. Come with me.”

“Vice President, the principal of our school seems to be a very mysterious person,” Fang Qiu remarked with a grin.

“Mysterious?”

Chen Yinsheng was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and smirked, “Not at all. It’s just because the freshmen are unlucky this year. When you guys entered the school, the principal happened to go to the U.S. to participate in the exchange and study program for a year, so you did not see him at all during that time. He just got back.”

“Oh, I see.” Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

Then, under Chen Yinsheng’s lead, Fang Qiu walked into the principal’s office.

Although the office had been vacant for a year, it was spotlessly clean when the principal came back. Hardly had Fang Qiu entered the office when he felt it was extremely bright.

The furnishings in the office were the same as those in Chen Yinsheng’s office.

In addition to a desk, there was a wooden tea table and a sofa set that was relatively modern.

When Fang Qiu entered the door, an elder who seemed to be about 55 years old and a little older than Chen Yinsheng, was seated behind the desk, reading all kinds of documents.

He took a closer look.

There was no beard on the old man’s face, but his hair and eyebrows were gray. His eyebrows were also quite thick, making him look like an ancient martial arts hero.

“Principal, Fang Qiu is here,” Chen Yinsheng said.

“You came.”

The principal raised his head and took a look at Fang Qiu. Then, he stood up with a smile and walked toward Fang Qiu. While taking the initiative to shake hands with Fang Qiu kindly, he praised him, saying “I didn’t expect that after only one year, an amazing talent would appear in our university and even become renowned in the world. I’ve heard a lot about Fang Qiu. Knowing that Fang Qiu is a student of our school, I was more than proud when I was in America. When those experts in America learned that Fang Qiu is a student of our university, they all treated me differently.”

“You flatter me, sir,” Fang Qiu replied modestly.

“Well, you’re indeed amazing when I see you today.”

The principal nodded in admiration and said, “Keep up the good work. The school will provide you with all the convenience.”

“Thank you, principal.” Fang Qiu expressed his gratitude.

The principal smiled with satisfaction, then turned to look at Chen Yinsheng, and said, “Great, when I was not in the school this year, you did a really good job, which was completely beyond my expectation. Not only did you enhance the reputation of the university, but you also boosted all the students’ enthusiasm to study in the university. Continue the good work.”

“Yeah, sure.” Chen Yinsheng nodded hurriedly.

“Anyway, just do whatever you need to do. And you need to continue to support whatever Fang Qiu does.” The principal reminded him on purpose.

“Don’t worry, sir.”

Chen Yinsheng immediately nodded and promised, “I’ll strive to build a better future for our university.”

“Yes.”

The principal smiled and nodded. Then he pointed to the sofa and said, “Come on, let’s sit down and talk.”

The three of them chatted for an entire morning in the principal’s office, talking about a variety of topics.

When they left the principal’s office, Fang Qiu glanced at Chen Yinsheng in confusion and asked, “Sir, what does the principal mean?”

“It means that you should do whatever you want.”

Chen Yinsheng said, “Just continue to do what you used to do. Even if he comes back, he won’t interfere. But he is the principal. No matter what kind of achievements we make, he will get half of the credit. He doesn’t need to say it clearly.”

“I’m amazed.”

Fang Qiu couldn’t help but pat his forehead and said, “Why not just say it? Why did he have to talk all morning and waste everyone’s time?”

Speaking of which, Fang Qiu gave a thumbs-up to Chen Yinsheng and said, “To be honest, Vice President Chen, I also look up to you very much. You are able to deduce what he actually means. It seems that you are the same caliber as the principal.”

“No, we’re different.”

Chen Yinsheng promptly shook his head and said, “The principal is the one waiting for the harvest while I am the one doing all the hard work.”

Fang Qiu rolled his eyes.

Chen Yinsheng, however, remained calm and collected. Without looking at Fang Qiu, he walked straight back to his office.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

At this time, Fang Qiu’s cell phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and had a look.

It was a call from Zhao Shanlin.

“Hello, Mr. Zhao?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.

Zhao Shanlin said, “Fang Qiu, I’ve finished everything here. The government has sent someone to deliver the map to us and let us choose the place.”

“So fast?”

Fang Qiu didn’t expect Li Ji to be so efficient. Yang Ningyuan also paid for it so promptly. He nodded and said, “Please entertain him for a while. I’ll go back tonight, and I’ll be there tomorrow morning.”

Zhao Shanlin nodded and hung up.

Fang Qiu instantly booked the last flight to Beijiang for the day with his phone.

After walking around the school and chatting with Zhu Benzheng and two other classmates about the cultivation base, Fang Qiu brought the three of them to fly to Beijiang overnight.

Early the next morning, Fang Qiu returned to the cultivation base.

At this time, Li Ji was having a great time in the cultivation base.

After everyone had breakfast together, Li Ji took out the resources and maps, pointing out the land that Fang Qiu and Zhao Shanlin could choose in the desert and the land near the snow-capped mountain.

Accompanied by Zhao Shanlin, Fang Qiu went directly to the site to choose two pieces of land. One was connected to the cultivation base, and the other was at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

After choosing the right places, Fang Qiu immediately recruited workers to reclaim the land. As for the snow-capped mountain, he would just leave it for the time being. What he needed most now was the desert.

After purchasing the land and extending the cultivation base, Fang Qiu and his roommates were soon busy working.

As Fang Qiu was helping out, he thought of the problem about manpower again.

“No.”

Thinking that there were still plenty of things that needed to be managed by himself, Fang Qiu felt that time was quite tight and he didn’t have much time. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. While thinking about it, he muttered to himself, “I should hire professional talents to manage these things. I can’t waste all my time on these.”

Suddenly, Yang Ningyuan called.

“Just in time.”

Fang Qiu picked up the phone and said, ” I was about to call you.”

“Oh?”

Yang Ningyuan paused and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Do you know any professional management talents? I need them so much right now,” Fang Qiu said.

“Haha.”

Hearing this, Yang Ningyuan burst into laughter and said, “Now you know that it’s not easy to do business, right?”

“It’s indeed not easy,” Fang Qiu echoed with a wry smile.

Yang Ningyuan said, “Well. You don’t need to find a headhunting company. Our human resource department has some leads. I’ll ask someone to search for you, but I don’t know if they will be willing to come.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “As long as we have the information, that’s enough. I’ll handle the rest.”
