"Co-Master?"
Hearing this title, Jiang Xiaobai smiled. "That has a nice ring to it. I like it!"
As Jiang Xiaobai answered, Zhang Xinnian's eyes widened.
Wait, this... actually worked?
After all, the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop was a veritable nest of gold.
With that calculation method of his, Jiang Xiaobai had actually secured half the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop. This... this was beyond outrageous!
Tang Ningshuang's expression changed as well.
Though she knew nothing about calculations or mechanisms, she understood the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop's significance.
The Heavenly Mechanism Workshop stayed out of the Imperial Court, yet its name resounded throughout the martial world.
Had Jiang Xiaobai really taken half of such a colossal institution?
"This is our Heavenly Mechanism Workshop's contract."
Mo Li spoke again, taking a folded contract from inside his robe. "You may look it over first, Heir Jiang."
"Gladly!"
Jiang Xiaobai accepted it and took a look.
The terms were quite clearly written.
Effective immediately, Jiang Xiaobai would join the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop through his Numerical Calculation Method and receive half its earnings.
However, the workshop's existing affairs would remain under the Workshop Master's control.
Jiang Xiaobai could assign some of the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop's craftsmen to participate in developing devices, but could not forcibly interfere with the workshop's internal traditions and succession.
Likewise, the Heavenly Mechanism Workshop could not pass on the Numerical Calculation Method Jiang Xiaobai taught without permission.
Any use of more advanced numerical deductions required Jiang Xiaobai's prior consent.
"You've been quite thorough."
After reading it, Jiang Xiaobai raised his brows slightly.
"It is a matter of great importance, after all."
Mo Li continued, "If we don't spell things out clearly, disputes could easily arise later."
"All right."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. "I have no objections."
Mo Li nodded and gave Chang Ying a look.
