Chapter 30: Urban God-Tier Tycoon System (29) (Extra Chapter~ Thanks to

"Have you heard? They're building a technical school in the eastern suburbs of our county, giving priority to local junior high graduates who didn't make it into regular high school."

"A technical school? Isn't that the same as a vocational high school? The tuition is much more expensive than regular high school, yet you don't learn anything."

"The tuition for this technical school is even cheaper than regular high school, and the technical courses they're offering look quite practical to me. There's tea planting and processing, Planting and animal husbandry, mechanical repair, fashion design, Chinese and Western pharmacy, Chinese and Western culinary arts... I heard they even introduced that dental molding technology that's been so popular in South Korea lately... My neighbor's kid is taking the middle school entrance exam next year, and the neighbor has been asking around everywhere. If the technical school starts recruiting next year, she'll just have her son go learn dental molding if he doesn't get into regular high school. Wouldn't it be pretty good to find a job at a dental hospital after graduating?"

"That sounds good, but surely the tuition for this kind of private vocational school must be very expensive, right? Huh? Cheaper than regular high school? Is that for real? Then I'll go ask around too. My son's grades aren't great either; he might as well go learn a trade after finishing junior high."

"Exactly, having a skill to fall back on is always better than knowing nothing."

"Hey, wait up, I'm coming too!"

"Aren't you just pregnant? Your sister's kid just started kindergarten; isn't it a bit too early to be asking about this..."

"Hehe, can't I plan ahead for the baby in my belly?"

"..."

Even Xie Yang herself hadn't expected that among the projects launched in Xiaoling County, it was the technical school that would get the first response.

Not only parents of middle school examinees in the county, but many parents with junior high students from other areas also called one after another to inquire: When will the school start recruiting? What are the requirements for enrollment? Can junior high graduates without local household registration attend if they pay a transfer student fee?

This left her between laughter and tears.

Even the leaders of the Xiaoling County Education Bureau were twitching their lips in confusion.

You say, of all these regions, which one isn't richer than our Xiaoling County? Which one doesn't have more regular high schools and vocational schools than our Xiaoling County? If you can't get into high school and want to learn a skill, are you worried you can't find a suitable school? Why come here to join in the fun?

However, this matter gave the Xiaoling County Education Bureau a great inspiration: So, this is how you can attract students?

It's a pity that enthusiastic citizens like Ms. Xie, who are wealthy, generous, and donate money and goods at every turn, are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns locally. Otherwise, if all the regular high schools in the jurisdiction learned from Ms. Xie's technical school, they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to retain high-quality students!

Thinking about the serious loss of students, the leaders of the Xiaoling County Education Bureau were so worried they were going bald.

When Xie Yang heard this, she indicated that anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem!

With a wave of her hand, she donated five million to each of the local high schools, along with a batch of the latest computer equipment and laboratory apparatus. Afterward, she even had a cargo plane transport books that were hard to buy domestically from her City Library City, which had hundreds of millions of volumes, and distributed them to each high school.

Now, even the only comprehensive university in the neighboring prefecture-level city was green with envy.

The school leaders came to Xiaoling County and visited these high schools. Of course, the focus was on the collection of books donated by Xie Yang; besides being envious and jealous, they wished they could pack them up and take them to the university library.

The county leaders, having no choice after being pestered by the university president, had no choice but to bring them to find Xie Yang with thick skin.

Xie Yang was currently at the county hospital. She had recently donated a batch of top-tier medical equipment to the hospital, and was currently being enthusiastically kept in the office by Dean Zhao to drink tea.

Hearing that the university president wanted to ask her to purchase a batch of original books on his behalf, Xie Yang thought for a moment and said:

"How about this, I'll donate another sum of money to the county to expand our county library, and I'll take a portion of the collection from the City Library City under my name and open a branch here."

"!!!"

"You have a City Library City under your name? Where is it located? Is it convenient for us to go visit?"

"It is possible," Xie Yang smiled slightly, "but have you heard of the Global Library City, which currently ranks first in the world in terms of collection size, located abroad?"

"!!!"

Who hasn't heard of it! That is simply a paradise for book lovers!

Never expected that this was actually a private library under Xie Yang's name!

Then they thought, if Xiaoling County became a branch of the Global Library City, domestic and foreign tourists attracted by its reputation would probably come one after another.

Was there any need to worry about the tourism industry that had always troubled the county leaders?

The next second, they heard Xie Yang ponder: "Why didn't I think of this method before! If the City Library City can open a branch here, then why not have the hospital and the nursing home build a branch in our county too! If the county hospital isn't expanded, those pieces of equipment I donated might not actually fit."

"!!!"

The super-sized pie that fell from the sky almost knocked everyone present unconscious.

Just tell us, how many more industries do you have under your name that benefit the common people?

Xie Yang completely became the apple of the eye in the eyes of the Xiaoling County leaders.

Perhaps worried that other counties, or even prefecture-level cities and provincial capitals, would come to snatch her away, the county sent people every day to follow her as she ran around inspecting plots of land, wanting to start this project as quickly as possible to avoid long delays.

At the same time, they also sent police cars to clear the way for her and special police to provide security, and the procedures were given the green light all the way.

As a result, the people Wu Tianyu sent to track her could only trail far behind, not daring to get too close, and thus didn't know what exactly Xie Yang was busy with.

Ask someone to find out? Are you kidding! The county's lips were sealed tight, fearing that peers would come to intercept the project. Before the project was officially launched, they wouldn't say a word to anyone who came to ask.

Wu Tianyu asked for the answer time and again without success, and just then, the demolition compensation for Wanhua Residential Quarter came through. His head got hot, and he stirred up a mess...

"Yang Yang, I have to go back to your eldest uncle's house, Niannian is missing!"

That morning, Xie Shuling, who was making a loving breakfast for her daughter, received a call from her eldest brother. He said he had taken Niannian to that sesame seed cake shop at the entrance of the town to buy sesame seed cakes, Fried Dough Stick, and drink soy milk. In the time it took him to turn around to pay, the little one was gone.

"Your cousin-in-law is worried sick, afraid that Niannian was taken away by human traffickers, and plans to call the police. They say you don't have to wait 24 hours for a missing child."

"Mom,..."

Just as Xie Yang wanted to say something, the phone on the table vibrated a few times, and she received an MMS from an unknown number. The little one in the photo, happily gnawing on a candied hawthorn, was none other than Niannian, the child the elders were turning the world upside down to find.

The photo caption read: 【Hope to cooperate happily with Ms. Xie.】

Xie Yang immediately guessed the owner behind this MMS: Wu Tianyu.

Is this guy brain-dead? He kidnapped her cousin, yet still delusional about cooperating happily with her?

She was so furious that she tapped on an app on her phone's home screen. After a few taps, she stopped Xie Shuling, who was rushing to help find the child: "No need to look, Mom, I know where Niannian is."

As early as the second day after arriving in Xiaoling County, she had equipped everyone in the family with a smart watch that could automatically track their location.

Niannian was still small, and she was worried he wouldn't be able to keep it on, so she specifically found a manufacturer to customize it, fixing the positioning Chip into the small red-stringed peach basket he wore on his little wrist, which was both secure and inconspicuous.

The people who kidnapped him would never have imagined that the little peach basket on the toddler's wrist was actually a smart watch, causing their whereabouts to be completely exposed.
