As Jiang Yi was about to speak, Ning Yan, who was beside him, interjected.
"The bodyguard company's matters are simple enough, but the school is not!"
"I don't think it will be difficult," Jiang Yi said.
"It sounds simple, but it's difficult in practice!"
"The biggest challenge is that Tiansheng University has no reputation, and very few people are willing to enroll.
"And then there's the issue of teachers. A school must have top-tier teachers. If it only has ordinary teachers, it's impossible to cultivate talent."
"Our goal is to cultivate talent for Tiansheng Group. If we can't even cultivate talent, what's the point of this school?"
"These are just two of the problems I've mentioned. There are many other issues in establishing a good school. Only by solving these problems one by one can we succeed; otherwise, it will be all for naught!" Ning Yan stated.
Jiang Yi frowned.
These were issues Jiang Yi hadn't considered before.
He had previously thought it would be simple: just recruit students and train them slowly.
After hearing Ning Yan's explanation, Jiang Yi realized how difficult it was to start a school.
Following that, Jiang Yi and Ning Yan went directly to the castle's main hall.
Upon entering, they saw Dongfang Mei sitting on the sofa in the hall.
"Sister Ning Yan, I didn't expect Jiang Yi to actually keep you here!"
Dongfang Mei poured Ning Yan a cup of tea and then said with a smile, "From now on, you'll live with us! Make this place feel like your home!"
"I'm also very happy that you could stay. Jiang Yi told me about you; you're like his elder sister, and from now on, you'll be my elder sister too!"
"Thank you!" Ning Yan said with a smile.
Dongfang Mei's words warmed Ning Yan's heart.
Ning Yan had been drifting alone for many years and hadn't felt a sense of home for a long time.
Now, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei made her feel like she had a home again.
"Your room has always been kept for you. Since you left last time, I've had people clean it regularly!" Dongfang Mei said.
"Thank you both!" Ning Yan finally smiled.
Normally, Ning Yan was cold, giving the impression of an iceberg that no one dared approach.
Dongfang Mei chatted with Ning Yan for a while before asking about the matters in Dongmeng Province.
Jiang Yi recounted the events.
"This is wonderful! Once the yam project is successful, the entire Four Provinces will be Tiansheng Group's territory, and even the great lords of the Four Provinces will be controlled by Tiansheng Group!" Dongfang Mei exclaimed.
"While the successful yam project can indeed bring many benefits to Tiansheng Group, there are also many obstacles.
"In a way, the yam plan directly infringes upon the interests of the traditional nobles in the Four Provinces, and the nobles will do everything they can to obstruct it."
"Prince Matthew cannot provide much help; we will need the Eagle Kingdom's royal family to assist us!" Jiang Yi stated.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei's expression became serious.
"It's too dangerous for you to be constantly maneuvering between Prince Matthew and the Eagle Kingdom's royal family."
"Prince Matthew is unpredictable and highly suspicious. Even now, he might not fully trust you!"
"And the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, while outwardly representing justice, is actually full of despicable tactics and will resort to any means to achieve their goals!"
"You're constantly dealing with them, and you could be in danger at any moment!" Qin Ya worried about Jiang Yi.
"It's alright, nothing will happen to me. I now have leverage over Prince Matthew and the Eagle Kingdom's royal family. Even if they know my intentions, they can't do anything to me!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Prince Matthew's strange illness could only be cured by Jiang Yi.
Therefore, Prince Matthew wouldn't harm Jiang Yi until he was cured.
As long as Jiang Yi lived, he could live.
As for the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, Jiang Yi also had leverage over them.
The guard captain Jiang Yi had captured earlier was his trump card.
Thus, Jiang Yi was not afraid of anyone at the moment.
"Even so, you mustn't be careless. Their methods are too despicable; it's impossible to guard against them!" Dongfang Mei said.
"I understand!" Jiang Yi nodded.
"By the way, who are you planning to put in charge of the yam project? You're not actually going to let Chen Kun be in charge, are you?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"That's right, I plan to let Chen Kun take charge. Chen Kun is a good candidate. This yam project will encounter many obstacles, and a decisive person must be appointed to oversee it.
"Otherwise, this project will be difficult to succeed. Chen Kun is the only one suitable to be in charge of this project!" Jiang Yi stated.
"Chen Kun is indeed the most suitable candidate, but I'm a bit uneasy!"
"Chen Kun's killing intent is growing stronger. Last month, a noble secretly sent people to cause trouble at the Tiansheng Group factory. As a result, Chen Kun not only killed all the troublemakers but also threw that noble off Beipo Bridge!"
"I didn't tell you this earlier because I was afraid you'd worry!" Dongfang Mei frowned slightly.
"In a place like the Eagle Kingdom, it's full of vicious wolves. Chen Kun did nothing wrong. We can only survive by being more ruthless than them, or we will be devoured by these wolves!"
Jiang Yi didn't think Chen Kun had done anything wrong.
It wasn't that Jiang Yi was too cruel, but this was reality!
Jiang Yi had been in the Eagle Kingdom for over a year, and during this time, he had experienced too many situations where logic couldn't prevail. He had figured out the rules of survival in the Eagle Kingdom; being soft-hearted was simply not an option.
Dongfang Mei also understood that having Chen Kun in charge of the yam project was the best choice.
Her only concern was that if they developed their influence through such means, it would undoubtedly create irreconcilable enmities with the Eagle Kingdom's nobles, making it difficult for Jiang Yi to act in the future!
"It's getting late, let's get some rest!" Jiang Yi said.
Afterward, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, after Jiang Yi woke up and went to the main hall, he saw Alice sitting on the sofa.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Can't I come?" Alice retorted.
"Of course, you can come. It's just that I haven't seen you in a long time, and your sudden appearance to find me is a bit surprising." Jiang Yi poured Alice a cup of coffee.
"I went to the capital a while ago, and then I went on a trip. I thought that by leaving Ximeng Province, I could forget about you, but I was wrong. I can't forget you at all!" Alice looked at Jiang Yi with gentle eyes.
"It's all my fault. If I had gone to China to find you directly back then, I would be the one with you now!"
