"Ah, all right!" Long Hengxu hurriedly stood up. "Headmaster, I'll be going, then. I'll draw up the proposal as soon as possible."
He bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
When he reached the doorway, he gently closed the door behind him.
Long Hengxu let out a long sigh of relief.
It's done.
As long as the headmaster agrees, the board's approval is practically assured.
After all, no one would oppose such a major achievement.

Hu Fangyuan ambled toward the entrance to his little courtyard, humming a tune. He had beaten Class One today and finalized a long-term order with Gu Yue. He was in a fine mood.
