Jiang Yi read the contents of the document and let out a cold laugh.
The document was filled with violations by Tiansheng University, dozens of them, most of which were fabricated and deliberately made up by them.
In short, Chairman Martin's goal was to prevent Tiansheng University from being established.
Ning Yan was right; Chairman Martin had come to cause trouble intentionally.
"Jiang Yi, do you have anything to say? The Tiansheng University you founded has violated so many regulations in our Eagle Country's education sector. I cannot turn a blind eye to this. I must prevent the establishment of Tiansheng University and punish you severely!"
"After deliberation, we have decided to impose a fine of one billion Eagle Coins. You must pay the fine within a day, otherwise, I will personally request the court to seal your Tiansheng Group!"
Chairman Martin stared at Jiang Yi and said coldly.
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed. This Chairman Martin was truly despicable. Not only did he want to prevent Tiansheng University from being established, but he also wanted to extort a fortune from him.
Ten billion Eagle Coins was nothing to Jiang Yi's Tiansheng Group, but Jiang Yi would never give Chairman Martin a single cent, nor would he let him stop the establishment of Tiansheng University.
"Chairman Martin, how much money did Jiang Wanli give you for you to be so eager to work for him?"
Jiang Yi stared at Chairman Martin and sneered.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know Jiang Wanli at all. As chairman, I am merely fulfilling my duties!"
"You are not cooperating and are instead slandering me. It seems I must punish you severely, otherwise, everyone will think I have no determination to rectify education!"
"I now officially announce that the fine has been increased to two billion Eagle Coins. You must pay the two billion within a year!"
Chairman Martin said with a gloomy expression towards Jiang Yi.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi let out another cold laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
Chairman Martin asked in a deep voice.
"It's useless even if you fine me a hundred billion. The charges you've levied against me are all fabricated! I won't give you a single penny!"
Jiang Yi said indifferently.
"You don't want to pay the fine, right! Fine, I'll call the court right now and have them seal your Tiansheng Group!"
Chairman Martin said coldly.
Chairman Martin did not take Jiang Yi seriously at all. He had come to cause trouble for Jiang Yi today and would not let him off easily.
Hearing this, everyone felt that Jiang Yi was in trouble this time.
"Alas, I didn't expect Chairman Martin to show up out of nowhere. It seems this Tiansheng School cannot be established!"
"Chairman Martin is the number one figure in the education sector of the Four Prefectures. Jiang Yi cannot possibly contend with Chairman Martin!"
"That's right. This time, not only will Tiansheng Group be unable to establish the school, but Jiang Yi will also face a huge fine."
...
The crowd began to chatter.
Some people, seeing that Tiansheng University could not be established, were already preparing to leave.
Just then, a group of bodyguards walked in from the main gate, numbering over a hundred.
These bodyguards entered the field and stood neatly in two rows.
This made everyone's expression turn serious.
Such a grand entrance must mean some important figure was arriving, and their identity must be extraordinary.
Chairman Martin's gaze was also drawn towards the main gate, curious about who had arrived with such a grand display.
A moment later, four cars drove in from the main gate successively!
Judging by the license plates, these four cars belonged to the four major lord's mansions of the Four Prefectures.
When the car doors opened, Lord Baley, Stephen, the Grand Lord of Nanmeng Prefecture, and the Grand Lord of Beimeng Prefecture stepped out of their cars.
The crowd could no longer stand still!
"Good heavens, I didn't expect all four Grand Lords to be here!"
"Jiang Yi has too much influence! In the Four Prefectures, very few people have such influence!"
The crowd could not help but discuss.
Chairman Martin's brow furrowed when he saw this. He had not expected all four Grand Lords of the Four Prefectures to come!
Lord Baley and the other three ignored Chairman Martin's presence and walked directly towards Jiang Yi, greeting him.
With Jiang Yi's help, Stephen had now become the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture. Stephen had never dared to dream that he would one day become a Grand Lord, and now his wish had finally come true!
Stephen, dressed in a black suit, exuded a powerful aura, embodying the demeanor of a Grand Lord.
"Jiang Yi, congratulations! Your Tiansheng University has finally been successfully established!"
Stephen said to Jiang Yi with a smile.
Lord Baley, the Grand Lord of Nanmeng Prefecture, and the Grand Lord of Beimeng Prefecture also congratulated Jiang Yi.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, Ning Yan interjected.
"Esteemed Grand Lords, it seems Tiansheng University cannot be established. Before you arrived, Chairman Martin came to cause trouble. Not only did he prohibit us from establishing Tiansheng University, but he also demanded that Jiang Yi pay a fine of two billion Eagle Coins!"
Upon hearing that Chairman Martin had caused trouble, all four of them showed a hint of anger on their faces.
Stephen, in particular, suspected that Chairman Martin had been bribed by Jiang Wanli and was deliberately causing trouble.
"Chairman Martin, you've gone too far! Jiang Yi establishing Tiansheng University is a contribution to the education sector of Eagle Country. If you can't help, at least don't deliberately cause trouble!"
Stephen looked at Chairman Martin.
Lord Baley and the others also looked at Chairman Martin.
"I am not deliberately causing trouble. Tiansheng University has violated many regulations in the education sector. It is my duty to prevent the establishment of Tiansheng University!"
"Esteemed Grand Lords, I have reasons and evidence. I am not causing trouble without justification!"
Chairman Martin said.
Although the four Grand Lords, Stephen and the others, managed the Four Prefectures, matters concerning the education department were directly managed by the royal family of Eagle Country. As Grand Lords, Stephen and the others could not interfere casually.
Despite being overlords of their respective regions, much of their power was concentrated in the hands of the Eagle Country's royal family, making it impossible for them to help Jiang Yi.
This was why Chairman Martin did not take the arrival of the four Grand Lords seriously.
"Jiang Yi, do you think I will let you off just because you've invited the Four Grand Lords? Don't dream!"
"The Four Grand Lords cannot control me! I can deal with you however I want!"
Chairman Martin's face was filled with gloom and a cold sneer.
In Chairman Martin's eyes, Jiang Yi was now helpless!
"Chairman Martin, do you really think I have no way to deal with you? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
"Today is the opening ceremony of Tiansheng University, and I don't want to make a scene. If you have any sense, you can still leave with your people now!"
Jiang Yi said, staring at Chairman Martin.
Upon hearing this, Chairman Martin burst into laughter, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery.
