Chapter 182: Changing Schools

They walked over and discovered it wasn't just one person but a group. The soundproofing here was excellent; from a distance they heard nothing. Only when they approached and opened a door did they hear the pounding sounds.

The noise was so loud it made Su Yu more curious. She covered her ears and shouted, "What are they doing?"

No one answered Su Yu, nor gave them any glance. They seemed not to notice the two adults and two children, continuing with their own work.

Wulongcha turned around, 【Host, should we stop them?】

【What are they doing?】

【On the surface they're building sports facilities, but secretly they buried something!】

The Su family's financial resources are not weak either!

Moreover, Su Yu hasn't started school yet. If she could secure the enrollment investments for both families at once, her bonus would surely skyrocket!

"Let's check the teaching building first!"

"Hehe!"

"We're here, I'm going to check out another school!"

"For you, those are all studies. The normal school you mentioned differs in focus from the school Huo Huo chose."

The four of them toured the campus, and the relevant person in charge arrived late.

As long as the child is normal and doesn't bully classmates, treat her with the utmost tolerance! The teacher responsible for Liang Yan will have double salary!

Teachers who object to this decision are not allowed to teach Liang Yan's class.

【6!】

"Each pet has different habits; we've specially left several floors empty for different types of pets to live. On weekends and after class, students can come here to play with pets. During class time, the pets are also in class."

Su Xi countered, "What do you think a normal school should be like?"

"We've finished touring; let's go to the next school—we're almost at the appointed time."

"Does Liang Yan want to visit the teaching building or the art building first?"

The principal's materials show that these big-family children can play several instruments by a few years old. Though not proficient, they start faster than other kids. They might prefer the art building?

"Ah?"

【Why do I feel this is perfunctory? Earlier they said there was a traffic jam, now they say they can't come?】

"Hello!"

"This must be little Liang Yan, right? So cute!"

Looking now, their biggest rival seems to be courting disaster, making the sponsor dad unhappy? This is truly great news!

They want to show the sponsor their school's utmost sincerity!

"The school also has a library, conference hall, broadcast hall, animal learning center, laboratory, cafeteria, living hall, and dormitory building. Our school does not require boarding. The dormitory building has single and double rooms. Each grade can freely combine them. If Liang Yan has a favorite friend and finds the single rooms too cramped without a living room, you can stay together in a double room!"

"Why does that school not at all resemble a normal school?"

Therefore, during the introduction, the teacher was even more enthusiastic.

"That place is quite new, yet it's going to be renovated again?"

If it noticed these people intentionally blocking Su Yu et al.'s view, it wouldn't come closer to look. Wulongcha probed a bit; they had already sealed the thing halfway, and even squeezing in, it couldn't see clearly.

【That school is so huge, with so many strange things, completely unlike the school where grades are everything!】

The school Tang Can attends mainly accepts children of ordinary low-ranking officials. This school, however, takes a more varied clientele. Because its overall operation model is more commercialized. To parents, its professionalism seems inferior to the previous one.

Two male teachers drove the front vehicle, another male teacher stood at the rear. A female teacher gave explanations, while two other female teachers each took charge of a child.

"Exactly, it's all glass, but the uncles are placing things to block it, so I can't see what they're installing!"

"Yes, Liang Yan, please rest assured; our school's activities are freely chosen by students, respecting their personal interests. We won't have mandatory group projects; we support individual work. Of course, the school encourages collaboration. Collaborative learning is also a form of learning!"

Several teachers felt excited and delighted inside.

Ji Yan had previously regretted not giving Su Yu a good education. After returning to the Su family, because of that report, no one dared to urge Su Yu to go to school.

The art building requires students to apply for use!

"After students enroll, they earn campus points. Entering the art building, library, living hall, broadcast hall, and animal learning center all require points."

"This school differs greatly from the previous one!"

Zhu Xueheng called his wife.

"Besides the art building, what else does the school have?"

After Zhu Xueheng sent the message to Liang Lijiang, the four of them visited several schools, and Liang Yan ultimately still wanted to choose the school they had looked at second.

"That person said it was a traffic jam!"

After touring the whole school, Su Yu almost suspected it was a private school. This school's overall style really doesn't resemble a proper public school!

"Dear, do you like this school?"

The teacher noticed that when Liang Yan heard about bringing small animals to play, his expression became somewhat excited. So, upon reaching that building, the teacher led them first to the pet companionship area.

"Good morning!"

【What was buried?】

Liang Yan felt the enthusiasm of this school's teachers, his mood somewhat elated.

……

Tang Can doesn't like school renovations. The renovated stuff she can't use, yet she still has to pay, making her family look like a sucker.

The female teacher handed the detailed explanation manual to the two adults.

Ten thousand equals one point! A full score of one thousand points equals ten million!

This is a Treasure Basin that automatically produces gold!

Floors one to four of the art building are divided into two main zones: one for Chinese instruments, one for foreign instruments. Each floor's middle has a corresponding teacher; if students are interested, they can have the teacher give on-site instruction. The fifth floor introduces various civilizations. Floors six to thirteen encompass singing, dancing, painting, etc., covering the artistic characteristics of different ethnicities and nations.

But wealthy families basically go to private schools or send their kids abroad; there are very few like Tang Can. Even if they wanted to attract investment, they couldn't.

Zhu Xueheng took Liang Yan's hand and left, while Su Yu took Su Xi's hand and followed.

Tang Can leaned forward to look at the photo, and indeed could not see what those workers were installing.

Zhu Xueheng really is a fool with too much money!

Seeing this points system, Zhu Xueheng wanted to max out the payments for his daughter!

The teacher nearly cried out upon hearing this!

"Hello there, little one — so poised and confident, you look like a good kid at a glance!"

"Soft and squishy, what do you need from me?"

The teacher who came to receive them was a bit bewildered; by the time she reacted and tried to stop them, they had already driven off.

Tang Tang frowned — the stadium was under maintenance, so how come they parents didn't know about it?

Tang Tang sent the news about the stadium maintenance to the group chat to ask the other parents. The parents in the group hadn't received any notice either, and were already @-ing the teachers in the group.

The points system wasn't designed to make things hard for students, but to screen out those from families that weren't particularly well-off yet were rather mischievous. Before the points system existed, they would intentionally or unintentionally damage school property. The school would then go to the parents for compensation. Some parents, burdened by mortgages and various loans, genuinely couldn't pay the compensation. Their school couldn't exactly drive students' parents to bankruptcy, could they?

Moreover, these students were clearly mischievous and constantly causing damage, but after enough incidents, the parents wouldn't think the child was at fault — instead, they'd think the school was "staging accidents for compensation"!

After multiple lessons learned, the school introduced the points system, and quickly screened out that batch of people.

On the way home, Su Yu had something she couldn't figure out.

Su Yu sent the photos she had taken to Tang Tang's account while talking, and Tang Tang forwarded them to the group chat right away.

The teacher was a sharp one too. She caught Liang Yan stealing glances at Su Yu no fewer than five times, and knew the two had a close relationship.

Tang Tang: So you're just going to praise her to the skies, huh?

Su Yu nodded — she'd already won on attitude!

Ji Yan listened very seriously, then asked a question.

"Can Can, it's Xiao Yu!"

"Can Can, Huo Huo and I took a stroll around your school and saw people doing maintenance by the stadium!"

"Good morning, Auntie!"

Liang Yan asked on her own initiative, and the teachers present were all very excited.

Their teachers' cafeteria didn't have even half the variety of the students' cafeteria!

"This is our art building!"

Wulongcha could see these people's construction work from every angle with no blind spots. They had split into two groups: one part was installing sports equipment, and the other part was burying things!

"These are some specialty items from our cafeteria, specially made for children of our various age groups. If the little ones don't like the standard-made items, they can also order individually."

Su Yu was impressed despite herself!

【By the time that person comes over, these people will have finished installing everything — what's left to say? Better not say anything at all!】

Su Yu took a photo with her phone and backed out first.

Liang Yan was a bit confused listening, but she understood the gist: she could complete the homework independently and didn't need to find anyone else to do it together.

Liang Yan had picked a place, and now just needed Liang Lijiang's opinion.

Whether or not she inherited the family business, she still had to attend school normally. Private schools were too draining — so she'd enter a public school together with Liang Yan.

"Little Yu is right!"

This time they received news that the Zhu family was looking for a new school for Liang Yan, and their Principal had long since issued orders: they absolutely had to dig this gold nugget into their school and treat her well.

Liang Yan rather liked it. "Will the kids here be as bad as the kids at the school I went to before?"

"Can Can is amazing! Your auntie is so smart!"

The teacher was a bit surprised, but that didn't stop her from praising her.

"Sweetheart, when do you start school?"

This wasn't a matter of illusion!

Children might not understand, but adults generally got it at a glance. Most adults could accept this points system. The points were essentially a deposit. When a child made a mistake and the parents were unwilling to pay, the school could deduct from the deposit!

"Not bad! Just the quota is a bit small!"

"Like a TV drama? The school Huo Huo chose has way too many things that have nothing to do with studying!"

The female teacher thought of this and gave a soft inward scoff — it must be a kind heart and beautiful soul! Rich beyond all reason! If Liang Yan could come to their school, this Boss Zhu would be a god of wealth delivering riches!

The teachers present looked at Liang Yan with even gentler eyes!

Liang Yan, who had been coasting through her studies at school, felt a momentary twinge of guilt. She just didn't want to sit with anyone else!

Su Yu and the others were just a prospective student and her family touring the school — interfering with the renovations here made no sense.

Su Yu understood a little. If Liang Yan formally enrolled, she could also enter that school along with Liang Yan. Either way, Su Xi would be the one spending the money, so she might be able to pocket the price difference and use it to Draw card!

"Really, I can't see clearly either!"

One focused mainly on grades, the other on learning a variety of things.

Su Yu got out of the car and saw three men and three women standing at the entrance.

"Student Liang Yan, please get in the car!"

Su Yu was on board, and Liang Yan was equally supportive.

Su Yu opened her phone. "Hey, Can Can!"

Su Xi and Zhu Xueheng didn't look good either. Their status and positions were not low, and this was the first time they'd been treated like this.

The teacher immediately gave a brief introduction and led them to the next spot.

"Sorry, the previous teacher had something come up and couldn't make it. Shall I show you around the campus?"

Liang Yan didn't understand.

【Does this school put on such airs? If Liang Yan came to this school, the Zhu Clan would definitely donate a building or equipment. And they can't even bother sending a professional to liaise?】

"But my auntie already put the photos in the group chat, so the teacher definitely knows what it is!"

After getting home, Su Yu chattered away to Ji Yan about the schools she had toured today.

Zhu Xueheng nodded. If the reception at that previous school had been better, he might have just invested directly and let his daughter go there. But now he leans toward this school, and he doesn't know whether Liang Lijiang agrees or not.

Who should accompany?

Are the desks and chairs here also single-person?

【The problem is, how do I tell everyone they're burying something else?】

Liang Yan really is a studious good kid!

Little Yu, this school looks better than the previous one, right?

It shouldn't be!

Then I want to come here to study!

Now the situation is different; Su Yu brought up school on her own, and she wasn't as resistant in her words, so Ji Yan wanted to take this opportunity to let Su Yu go to school to study.

Great! This place isn't fun at all!

Liang Yan, what animals do you like? The school's zoology hall has introductions to all kinds of animals, plus a large animal area. Students can bring their own small pets to play, or adopt animals from the school.

【Is this topic a bit off? I just mentioned the school I saw; did I give Mom the wrong impression, making her think I want to go to school?】

This sound is torture to the ears!

Huo Huo, you guys come see the school yourselves, with no one accompanying?

Hearing that the rival school had offended two little kids, the teacher in charge of reception was almost bursting with joy! The rival school, relying on donations from the Tang and Ren families, had overwhelmed them, and their principal was extremely dissatisfied.

Wulongcha didn't know either, 【Can't see clearly, anyway it's not anything good, they're intentionally blocking our view.】

Liang Yan isn't very interested in artistic things.

Dear, I'm serious; when do you plan to go to school?

【Really have to go to school, huh! Let me think, what excuse should I make?】

Thanks for the votes, cuties~
