Chapter 924: Building a School
Mo Jiaolan smiled and said, "There’s nothing we need. We can handle everything ourselves!"
Ling Feng glanced at her, "What are you thinking?"
"Well, I’ve been thinking about this before, and now is a good time to bring it up. I’m planning to build a school in our area!" said Mo Jiaolan.
"Ah? A bodyguard school?" Ling Feng’s eyes widened.
"Of course not, it’s a comprehensive school that combines culture and martial arts!" Mo Jiaolan laughed.
Ling Feng was somewhat confused and still didn’t grasp her intention, so he asked, "Hasn’t there been schools like this for a long time?"
"It’s not the same. Our school can be divided into the children’s and adults’ divisions. The children’s side will recruit kids aged 8 to 14 and cultivate them from a young age!" Mo Jiaolan explained.
"And the adult division?" Ling Feng asked.
"The adult division will mainly target young people with some foundational skills and a certain level of ability. Of course, the main direction of cultivation will still be aligned with the security agency!" explained Mo Jiaolan.
Now Ling Feng finally understood and asked, "Did Old Chen talk to you about this?"
"Yes!"
Mo Jiaolan nodded: "Some countries have already started preparing for this internationally, and we haven’t yet. So with the resources we have on hand, we can definitely train top-notch martial artists, surpassing other countries!"
Ling Feng smacked his lips in admiration, feeling that the idea was indeed quite feasible, and then nodded, "Alright, since you already have a plan, go ahead and make it happen!"
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Brother Fa and Brother Hua, smiled, and said, "Don’t worry, both of you. Once we have qualified students, I will definitely send a few your way!"
"Fantastic!"
Brother Fa and Brother Hua were thrilled and their faces beamed with joy.
Next, Ling Feng declined the dinner invitation from the two big brothers, as he had to return and discuss cooperation matters with Chen Murong.
So they agreed to meet in the Mainland in the future and chat, then the group descended the building, leaving the skyscraper.
They took the underground parking garage this time, so they didn’t encounter any fans or paparazzi.
Once they got in the car, Ling Feng looked at Mo Jiaolan: "Can you handle the school matter on your own?"
Mo Jiaolan smiled, "Of course, I can’t handle it all. I don’t have that much time and energy, so you’ll have to take personal responsibility for this!"
"Ah?"
Ling Feng was stunned, glanced at Zhou Yi who was driving, and tentatively asked, "Do I have that in my schedule?"
"Although time is tight, we can always make room, and it also saves you from running around aimlessly!" said Zhou Yi.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng suddenly felt as if he had become a contracted laborer, as if all his future freedom had been stripped away!
Seeing him like this, Zhou Yi glanced at him and asked, "What? Are you not happy?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng quickly shook his head, "No, how could I dare to be unhappy!"
Zheng Yitong, who was sitting in the back seat, watched the scene with some astonishment, suddenly unable to figure out who exactly was Ling Feng’s girlfriend!
Seeing the stern, even slightly disciplinarian manner of the beautiful woman driving, it totally looked like a girlfriend setting her boyfriend straight!
The car left the skyscraper and quickly returned to the hilltop villa.
Zhang He wasn’t there; he had gone up to sleep, having been busy all night and then followed Ling Feng to the seaside in the morning, his physical stamina was somewhat faltering.
So in the living room downstairs, Ling Feng introduced Chen Murong to Mo Jiaolan and Zhou Yi.
Since they were friends now, naturally, it wouldn’t be like a negotiation in the business world, so Mo Jiaolan introduced to Chen Murong the current development situation of Ling Corporation.
Ling Feng, the hands-off manager, listened obediently by the side, not even knowing that the group’s capital size had already reached around ten billion!
That was only the domestic capital. Over in Mianluo Country, they were finalizing a few projects. Once those were added to the funds he had hammered out from the Shadow Group in Dongying, Ling Corporation’s total assets had already exceeded twenty billion!
This was a funds scale of astronomical numbers. Ling Feng was so stunned he couldn’t believe his own ears.
After Mo Jiaolan finished introducing, Chen Murong nodded and smiled, "Indeed, a hero emerges from the young. Miss Mo is so young, yet she already manages such a large enterprise!"
"Auntie, you’re too kind. It’s not just my own achievements; all shareholders have also contributed a lot. It’s everyone’s support that brought us to where we are today!" Mo Jiaolan said with a smile.
"That’s great!"
Chen Murong nodded, then continued, "I’m still more interested in real estate and energy. Does Ling Corporation have any new projects recently?"
"Of course!"
Mo Jiaolan nodded, "We’re about to start a geothermal power generation and a hot springs resort construction project, both of which are right up your alley, Auntie!"
"That’s wonderful, I’ll go back with you later, and we can check it out on-site!" Chen Murong said with a surprised face.
"Welcome anytime!" Mo Jiaolan said with a smile.
This is how simple it is between acquaintances; investment projects worth billions were agreed upon with a laugh and a joke.
Of course, these are just preliminary verbal agreements for now. To actually implement them, there’s a need for those below to have detailed discussions, regarding cooperation methods, capital scale, profit division, and many other things!
All these were not issues that could be handled at the moment, so after discussing the cooperation, there was nothing much left to do.
So Chen Murong suggested, "Miss Mo and Miss Zhou have just come to Harbor Island, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, how about Yi Tong and I take you shopping?"
"Sure! They say this place is a shopping paradise. I’ve never been here before and was just thinking of buying some things!" Mo Jiaolan clapped her hands and laughed.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng turned into the face of a bitter gourd.
Four women going shopping, he felt he was probably going to be unlucky!
But then Zhou Yi saw his face and smiled, "Don’t be nervous, we don’t plan to take you with us!"
"Ah? Why?"
Upon hearing he wasn’t needed, Ling Feng was instead a bit surprised.
"It’s nothing, we just find it inconvenient with you around, so you’re free to do as you like!" Zhou Yi said.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng looked resigned, but his heart was blooming with joy!
As the ladies prepared to leave, he was totally relaxed, striding up to the second floor.
Estimating they would shop for at least three to four hours, Ling Feng had nothing better to do, so he planned to go back to his room to get some sleep and catch up on rest.
But upon reaching his room, he found Zhang He was actually lying on the bed!
Ling Feng was speechless at once. Didn’t that guy have his own room? Why did he come to sleep in mine?
Hearing his snoring, Ling Feng really wanted to go wake him up, but after hesitating, he gave up.
After all, he was tired all night. Disturbing Zhang He’s sweet dreams was something he didn’t quite have the heart to do!
So, with no choice, Ling Feng had to lie down on the sofa and closed his eyes.
But then Zhang He’s snoring was earth-shattering, making it impossible to sleep!
With no other option, Ling Feng got up and went out again, then went downstairs and into the yard.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, the air was exceptionally fresh. Looking at the distant blue sea, Ling Feng let his mind wander.
