Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1068 - Chapter 1068 Chapter 1024 The Schools New Boss

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1024: The School’s New Boss Chapter 1068: Chapter 1024: The School’s New Boss Though they claimed to need half an hour, in reality, it was far less than that, amounting to roughly twenty minutes when they all happened to meet right outside the gates of West Australia School.

Two Mercedes-Benz S600s, one BMW 7 Series, and one Bentley–all luxury cars, signifying the stature of the four individuals in Hongjiang Province.

No sooner had the cars come to a halt than the four bosses emerged from their vehicles. Boss Tan, as the main investor of West Australia School and the wealthiest among the four, alighted from his million-dollar Bentley. With a wry smile and a cupped-fist salute, he said, “My three younger brothers, I apologize for the inconvenience. I presume you all just got the call, right?”

Boss Xiong lived up to his name–sturdy and imposing like a bear–with an equally forthright personality. He spoke up, “Old Tan, what’s all this fuss about West Australia School? It’s annual expulsions are one thing, but how did it escalate to such a major issue? Director Zhao from Longhua Mining is already on his way. I had big plans in mind for the cooperation with Hongjiang Copper Industry this time.”

Boss Xiong was in the mineral resource business and knew that as the largest domestic and internationally renowned mining conglomerate, Longhua Mining had just received a perplexing call from Director Zhao’s secretary, who suddenly wanted to acquire West Australia School. This urgency had propelled Boss Xiong to rush over.

As his statement concluded, Boss Song also chimed in, “Director Liu from Minnong Group has personally arrived as well. Our company and Minnong Group are about to sign a strategic cooperation agreement, which I hope won’t fall through because of this.”

These words drew another wry smile from Boss Tan. Longhua Mining and Minnong Group were titans among domestic private enterprises.

Turning to Boss Gu, Boss Tan inquired, “Old Gu, I hope this hasn’t caused you much trouble.”

Boss Gu, poised as ever, spoke slowly, “Chairman Yang Anbang from Wal-Mart Group gave me a call.”

This succinct indication was startling. The identities of the three ladies sitting inside the school warranted the personal attention of three major company bosses.

Boss Tan’s business was the largest, making him the undisputed richest man in Hongjiang Province, with a family fortune totaling over ten billion. However, the larger the business, the higher the circles one reached, and for Boss Tan, that meant vulnerability. The call he had received was the most alarming. His company was already listed domestically and was preparing to enter the American market and go public on Wall Street. The IPO’s underwriter was the Morgan Consortium.

But just moments ago, Boss Tan received notice from Morgan that a huge predator had made a move. To stop his company from going public–something even the Morgan Consortium did not dare to provoke. The predator’s demand was paradoxically simple: acquire West Australia School, and there would be no issue.

After a rueful chuckle, Boss Tan revealed, “Thankfully, it hasn’t brought major trouble to my brothers. All I can say is that the three ladies upstairs must not be provoked. Behind them is a force even a conglomerate like Morgan, with assets of over a trillion US dollars, doesn’t dare resist. Everyone has brought their documents, right?”

The documents, naturally, were the share certificates of West Australia School. The four bosses held its entire share capital, all of which they now had with them.

Upon entering the school and stepping through the door, Principal Tan, Vice Principal Huang, and Wu De were all stunned. The presence of the bosses suggested that the three women were indeed telling the truth.

Without seeing any contact from the women, the bosses had arrived, signifying just how formidable these three women were.

With a smile, Boss Tan asked, “May I know which one of you is Miss Li Lixue?”

Li Lixue stood up and nodded, “You must be Boss Tan. Have you brought the share certificates?”

As the four men nodded, Li Lixue continued, “I appreciate the effort you’ve all made. The overall valuation of West Australia School is about 1.5682 billion yuan, and your total investment is around one billion. To ensure you don’t lose out, we’ll settle at 1.8 billion, taking into account the appreciation of intangible assets. Let’s sign the transfer agreement now.”

As she spoke, Li Lixue calmly produced a checkbook, swiftly penned the figures in bold strokes, signed, tore off the check, and handed it to Boss Tan beside her.

Following her lead, Boss Tan and the others also promptly completed the share transfer agreement with Li Lixue.

Li Lixue’s magnanimous gesture–an 1.8 billion cash manager’s cheque from Swiss Bank, without so much as blinking an eye–stunned the four bosses. Although they were also wealthy, even the richest among them, Boss Tan, would not readily claim to have such a sum in cash at his disposal.

After both parties had signed the share transfer agreement, Boss Tan stood up and smiled, “Director Li, congratulations. If there’s nothing else, we will take our leave. If West Australia School requires any assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll do everything within my power.”

Boss Tan left elegantly. The four bosses did not even glance at Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang, leaving the two utterly astonished; especially Principal Tan, who had some kinship with Boss Tan and had never seen him so courteous before.

At this moment, the atmosphere was exceptionally awkward. Principal Tan rubbed his hands together, seemingly at a loss for words. Just moments ago, he had been the authority figure, with the parents as mere visitors to the school. The power seemed to reside in his hands, but now, he had become someone else’s subordinate, and in the blink of an eye, these three individuals had become his bosses.

As Principal Tan was about to speak, the door was pushed open once more, and two people walked in–it was Zhao Xinglong and Liu Kun.

“Who do these people think they are, so full of themselves? They are ruining the futures of my nephews and nieces, despicable,” Zhao Xinglong declared, with the air of a pampered potentate.

All being over forty years old, it was somewhat improper for him to carry on in such a manner.

Next to him, Liu Kun spoke in a stern voice, “Get lost, have some dignity, do you understand what that means?”

“Dignity? Fine, I prefer warmth. It’s the height of summer, who cares about dignity?” Zhao Xinglong completely ignored Liu Kun.

These two had bickered since their youth, and here they were, fathers now, but still the same.

Beside them, Dong Wan could no longer tolerate their antics. She knocked on the table and said sternly, “Keep it professional, sign the documents.”

Dong Wan and the others would not be sole proprietors of the school. Considering Nie Zhenbang’s situation back in China, both Li Lixue and Dong Wan were extremely low-profile. During the acquisition, Dong Wan had already planned to bring Zhao Xinglong, Liu Kun, and Yang Anbang into the picture, having them take the forefront to cover for themselves.

After finishing these arrangements, these two were now shareholders of West Australia School. Zhao Xinglong looked at Principal Tan and the others indifferently and said solemnly, “You few, are fired.”

The words of young master Zhao were full of domineering assurance, leaving no room for doubt. Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang could only force a wry smile. Who could have known it would come to this?

In the past, it wasn’t unheard of for students to be expelled from the school–it was quite normal, in fact. There have been uproars from the parents, from both business and political spheres, but ultimately, they all fizzled out. Why? Because they could not tackle the fortress that was West Australia School.

But now, the two of them finally understood the meaning of “venturing too often into the mountains, one will eventually encounter the tiger.” They had indeed encountered a tiger, a figure both of them would have to respectfully acknowledge as their boss. Principal Tan was well aware that anything he said now would be in vain. Sighing, he bowed deeply and said, “Ladies, I am truly sorry.”

Principal Tan and Vice Principal Huang left; both were capable individuals, and finding an equivalent position elsewhere was not an issue for them. Moreover, considering Principal Tan’s relationship with Boss Tan, even if they left, it was reasonable to believe Boss Tan would still look out for them. Thus, Zhao Xinglong’s dismissal only hurt their pride–a minor inconvenience, not much else.

But Wu De’s situation was different. Getting into West Australia School had taken considerable effort, persuading his brother-in-law. And oh, what fine resources the school had–wealth and privilege everywhere.

Here, Wu De did not hold any administrative position; instead, he was a teacher and a class adviser, aiming to exploit the students.

Just think, as a subject teacher for a particular grade level, one would have at least several hundred students. During summer and winter breaks, not to exaggerate, let’s say one hundred students. Twenty thousand per student–that’s two million, and with two sessions, it would be four million. Quite the handsome profit.

If he were to leave West Australia School, where could he find such an advantageous position? Wu De was immediately displeased. Somewhat self-satisfied, he was quick to act and had just called his brother-in-law. By now, he guessed someone would probably be on their way.

Thinking this, Wu De felt invigorated, believing that no matter how wealthy they were, they couldn’t contend with administrative authorities. Annoy him, and he would have their school’s license revoked.

Then, Wu De stood up to face Zhao Xinglong and the others, speaking earnestly, “You cannot fire me, or you’ll bear the consequences. Besides, now that you’ve bought the school, you’re technically my bosses. I won’t make an issue of the assault. However, the tutorial classes must still be attended. You’ve acquired the school, so I believe these fees wouldn’t mean much to you.”

Wu De’s self-esteem was overinflated. He had truly set himself up on a high pedestal. As his words ended, Dong Wan let out a derisive laugh, “Tutoring classes, who allowed you to set those up privately? The school? Or the education authorities? Let me make it clear, our children will neither attend your so-called tutoring classes nor will you keep the fees you collected. They must be fully refunded. Additionally, you are fired too.”

Right after she finished speaking, Liu Kun added, “And you, who do you think you are, talking about bearing consequences? What consequences? Whatever they are, I’ll take care of it. Now, you can get lost.”

“You can’t just go; the money hasn’t been returned yet. If he runs off, what do we do if the parents come asking us for the money? Firstly, notify the parents who have paid to come and collect their refunds. After that’s dealt with, then he can get lost,” Zhao Xinglong chimed in from the side. (To be continued.
