    Chapter 236: Have You Thought It Through?

    Seeing Shen Fei take the initiative to ask, Deng Jianming became even more furious.

    ā€œIt’s those useless officials who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun! They came up with this stupid idea! They want to build three public entertainment facilities near our school: a library, a gymnasium, and a science museum! And if that wasn’t enough, they plan to divide our school’s sports field! If that happens, our students’ activity space will be restricted! There’s a physical education exam in the high school entrance exam! Who will be responsible if it affects the students?ā€

    ā€œThe school leaders are also unwilling, but the other side produced official documents and contacted relevant departments in the district and city. No one is willing to help, and they even said we are obstructing public management and projects. They have the right to sue us for obstructing official duties… How can we tolerate this! The school staff directly confronted them with our teachers and students!ā€

    ā€œThey came several times, and our teachers and students stopped them each time! But it was useless! The other side became even more arrogant! I just don’t understand, the location of our school isn’t even that good! Why did they choose this place?ā€

    His tone was full of dissatisfaction with the officials building the three entertainment facilities.

    And a deep sense of powerlessness…

    ā€œExactly! Not to mention, our students’ sports field can’t be guaranteed at all! And, can such a project be completed overnight? It could take two or three years, and the noise will make it impossible for students to concentrate on their studies! The teachers live at the school, and their sleep quality will be affected, not to mention preparing lesson plans! Isn’t this harming the children? Old Deng is right, these heartless people don’t do anything decent!ā€

    Niu Dawei said angrily.

    Hearing this, Shen Fei couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart, his brows furrowing.

    In his previous life, he hadn’t heard anything about this.

    At that time, he was still feeling betrayed by Han Xinyan, living a life of decadence and lack of ambition.

    It wasn’t until he woke up, worked hard to start a business, and became successful that he learned about this matter.

    However, by then, the huge entertainment facility had already been built, but it was completely different from what the officials had imagined.

    Because the location was somewhat remote, not many people visited.

    This building clearly became a major failure for the city, causing strong dissatisfaction among the citizens.

    But at that time, Shen Fei just smiled faintly and no longer cared about it.

    He just didn’t expect that the story behind it was actually related to his alma mater.

    ā€œTeachers, why doesn’t the school contact those alumni who have already become successful? It would be good to have them speak out!ā€

    Shen Fei was puzzled.

    ā€œWe did, how could we not! But who dares to provoke the officials… Ah, let’s not talk about it. Those unreasonable people can’t be stopped! I’ve bought several pairs of earplugs, and if we really can’t stop them, we’ll just have to accept it!ā€

    Dai Minhong said helplessly.

    ā€œYes! We’ve been teaching at this school for quite a long time, eating and drinking here, and we’ve obviously treated the school as our home! Seeing outsiders bullying our school, I even want to ask Director Ning of Donghai Group for help!ā€

    Liu Hao shook his head slightly, his words full of disappointment.

    ā€œOld Liu, just stop with that thought! You’re just causing trouble for others! If you say it, won’t it put them in a difficult position? If it’s resolved, everyone will be happy, and we’ll owe them a big favor! But if it can’t be resolved? Won’t it just add to Director Ning’s troubles?ā€

    Niu Dawei scolded.

    ā€œI’m just saying! If it weren’t for the problems you mentioned, I would have gone to Director Ning long ago!ā€ Liu Hao said angrily.

    These words reached Shen Fei’s ears, making him feel uncomfortable.

    After a pause, he nodded firmly.

    ā€œTeachers, don’t be sad! I can handle it!ā€

    ā€œYou can handle it? How?ā€ Deng Jianming asked in confusion.

    ā€œOf course, I’ll find a way to help the school solve this problem! Don’t worry, this is my alma mater, and several teachers are still teaching here. I can’t just ignore it!ā€ Shen Fei said softly.

    Although his words were humble, Shen Fei was confident in solving this matter.

    But in front of the teachers, he had to put on a show, otherwise, they might think he had become arrogant after starting a company!

    ā€œAlright, Xiaofei, just do your best! If you can really solve this matter, you’ll be doing a great deed!ā€

    Deng Jianming smiled and patted Shen Fei on the shoulder.

    ā€œTeacher Deng, you’re joking! I’ll find a way!ā€ Shen Fei said lightly.

    Then, his phone rang.

    It was Ji Lu, the owner of ā€œLife on a Skewer,ā€ calling!

    Could it be…

    With a slight smile, Shen Fei said,

    ā€œTeachers, I need to take a call!ā€

    He then went to the balcony.

    ā€œMr. Ji, have you thought it through?ā€

    ā€œHello, Mr. Shen! Are you free now?ā€

    Ji Lu’s voice came through the phone.

    ā€œYes! Give me an address!ā€ Shen Fei said.

    ā€œAlright! In that case, why don’t you come to ā€˜Life on a Skewer’ first? The address is 888 East Huaxi District. Check out the dining environment and give some suggestions!ā€

    Ji Lu said loudly.

    ā€œOkay! When is convenient for you?ā€ Shen Fei asked.

    ā€œAround 1:30 PM? There are fewer diners at that time!ā€ Ji Lu said.

    ā€œAlright! See you then!ā€ Shen Fei agreed.

    ā€œGreat! I’ll be waiting for you!ā€

    After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei returned inside.

    ā€œXiaofei, is there something urgent at the company?ā€ Deng Jianming asked with a smile.

    ā€œYes, but it’s not urgent!ā€ Shen Fei nodded.

    ā€œAlright! We understand! Go ahead and take care of it! It’s nothing major here! Besides, you can come over anytime you want! We teachers are always here, and we can gather often! There’s plenty of time!ā€

    Lin Qingyu said gently.

    ā€œYes, Xiaofei! We need to go check the situation over there too! Just in case something really happens!ā€ Deng Jianming agreed.

    The other teachers also nodded quickly.

    As for the school’s issue with the construction team, they didn’t mention it again.

    They were afraid that it would distract Shen Fei.

    Hearing this, Shen Fei could only nod.

    After a few more words, Shen Fei followed the teachers out the door.
