"What idea?" Lin Fei was very curious. Seeing Mu Shanshan's expression of sudden realization, it must be a very good idea.

Mu Shanshan laughed, "Then let's buy a school!"

"Ha?!"

Lin Fei didn't react at first. When he did, he couldn't help but sigh, "You're really extravagant!"

Mu Shanshan laughed, "How am I extravagant? I think it's a great idea, and it benefits Keke. At least Keke can get special attention from all the teachers since we are the principals. Those teachers must be meticulous, otherwise they'd be afraid we might fire them, don't you think? Isn't this a great plan?"

"Buying a school just so the kid can attend... that's something. I've never seen anything like it," Lin Fei said helplessly.

Of course, Lin Fei understood. It just showed how much Mu Shanshan cared for Keke. However, Lin Fei was worried if Keke could become independent in the future. This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't worry much. After all, as Keke grows up, she'll become more sensible, and they won't need to manage too much, since, ultimately, girls grow apart from their parents.

Since Mu Shanshan found this method feasible, she decided, saying to Lin Fei, "Then go find a school that includes kindergarten, elementary, middle, and ideally a university, and negotiate the price with them."

Lin Fei was stunned and quickly said, "Hold on, Shanshan, what do you mean by this? How am I supposed to find a school like that, from kindergarten to university? Where am I going to get that for you? And there's no need for such a school, Keke still has over ten years before college."

Mu Shanshan gave Lin Fei a disdainful look and said, "You don't understand. Our Mu Group is now preparing to expand into other fields. There's no competition left in Zhonghai. The jewelry industry has reached its peak, so naturally, we need to be involved in other industries. Although we are involved in many sectors, we lack in education."

"Then why not just build a school, wouldn't that be better?" Lin Fei suggested.

"That's different."

Mu Shanshan explained, "Building a school involves more procedures than you think. You have to deal with the Education Bureau, Land Bureau, Development Office, and there's all the engineering afterward. If we were to start, it would take at least two to three years, and I don't want to wait that long. You should start looking, and if you can't find any, then forget it. If you find one, give me a call. I'll allocate you a billion, but don't exceed that amount, okay?"

"Whoa, a billion!" Lin Fei was speechless. A billion is indeed enough to buy a school from kindergarten to university, but such schools are really hard to find.

And with just a few words, Mu Shanshan entrusted a billion to Lin Fei to spend, clearly showing the strength of the Mu Group. It seems Mu Shanshan's efforts over the years have paid off. No wonder, for so long, she's been coming home late and arriving at the company so early. It seems her business strategy has expanded significantly.

After leaving the Mu Group, Lin Fei pondered if he should get a new phone. But when he reached the commercial area, he saw a huge advertisement poster with an ad on it.

An advertisement for school enrollment.

The ad caught Lin Fei's attention. After confirming the location, he took Keke and drove to the address on the ad and quickly arrived there.

However, to his surprise, the ad's description of green mountains and waters was nothing but a wasteland when Lin Fei arrived.

At the edge of Zhonghai, it's clearly an area the city hasn't developed yet. According to Lin Fei's understanding, this place was once planned for future development, but for some reason, the plan was abandoned. Lin Fei couldn't say why exactly.

Besides, when Lin Fei arrived at the school, he regretted coming after finding the bumpy cement road. But when he saw the school, he was completely satisfied!

The school's construction was even better than the poster. It consisted of five-story buildings, with three in total, and one building with only three floors, which must be the kindergarten. The buildings had absolutely no complaint with their recent trendy design, except it's unfortunate that only kindergarten, elementary, and middle school were present, lacking both high school and university.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei almost wanted to punch himself for thinking along Mu Shanshan's lines. It's embarrassing, so he walked towards the school.

However, approaching the gate, he suddenly noticed two thugs standing on either side, giving him unfriendly looks. But Lin Fei didn't mind them and headed inside the school.

The school was much emptier than he imagined. Each class had only a few students, and some even had none. Most students came from ordinary, or even poor families, which contrasted with the school's beautiful exterior.

Inside the school, the facilities were complete. But why were there no students? That puzzled Lin Fei, as he noticed there weren't many cars here, and some places even had overgrown weeds.

Huiying Academy is the name of this school. Lin Fei arrived at the principal's office, knocked twice, and finding no response, he turned the door handle and entered. Inside, there was a middle-aged man with graying hair, fast asleep at his desk.

Lin Fei stepped forward, tapped the desk, and the middle-aged man immediately jumped up. Seeing Lin Fei, he was momentarily confused. After glancing around and confirming it was indeed his office, he quickly asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in my office?!"

Seeing the middle-aged man so startled, Lin Fei felt a bit apologetic. He pulled up a chair, sat down, and said, "I'm here to enroll my child. Are you the principal?"

"Enroll? I'm the principal!" The middle-aged man lit up at the word enroll and said, "Our school, the environment..."

"Alright, alright, enough," Lin Fei interrupted. "I didn't come here to listen to your bragging. I've seen your ad, so there's no need to repeat it."

The principal was taken aback, then said, "Alright, tuition is one hundred and fifty, from kindergarten to middle school, choose whatever you like, textbooks you buy yourself."

"..."

Lin Fei was speechless, then asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, as long as I know the answer, I can tell you," the principal replied.

"I want to know why there are so few students at this school," Lin Fei asked.

"Perhaps because there are few applicants," the principal said seriously.
