Chapter 558 - He called me illiterate? (1/2)

Zhao Ming pursed her lips in a thin line and stared at the head of the school. His expressions turned stiff and showed his reluctance towards her.

She remained silent and just stared at the doc.u.ments in Ji Cheng's hands. The budget plan this time was more than the last time, but what bothered her was not money.

But something else.

” What? Is there any problem?” Ji Cheng asked when he saw her serious expressions.

She didn't say anything for a few moments which made everyone anxious.

”This...this budget cannot be passed. There is no need for so much money for such less students. It's just a waste of money to spend everything just to make the school more luxurious” She said without hesitation while pointing towards the budget in Ji Cheng's hands.

Her words made everyone shocked because until now, the Paradise school's budget has not been challenged by anyone and was passed every time without any difficulty.

But she was saying that it won't be passed? The head of the school Duan Yashu was baffled and annoyed at the same time.

She doesn't know anything about how a big school like Paradise is being maintained and that everything is necessary when it comes to the development of the children.

And she is saying it's a waste of money?

Ji Cheng pursed his lips as he was confused as well hearing her words. But his reaction was not that dramatic like others because he knows that she must have a reason for it.

” And why do you think that this budget should not be passed?” He said in an indifferent tone.

” You said that Paradise is the only school in Ji city that parents from noble families want to send their children to your school, right?” she asked as she looked at the head of the school with her sharp gaze.

He haughtily nodded and said, ” Of course, the sons of all the ministers here are studying in our school.”

Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and pursed her lips.

” What about the children who don't belong to noble families? Did your school give admission to those children as well who doesn't belong from wealthy families? If yes, then I will happily pass the budget. ”

Everyone suddenly became quiet as they stared at Zhao Ming with an unexplainable gaze.

Duan Yazhu looked at Zhao Ming as if she was an idiot and said, ” Your Majesty, paradise school is not any school where anyone can take admission. It is a school only for nobles. So to maintain the royalty of our school, we need more funds. So I hope you can pass the budget without any issues.” He tried to be calm when he said this.

Duan Yazhu was stupified when he heard her words. She wants him to give admission to those students who don't belong to noble families?

It is called paradise school because it was luxurious and was fit to be attended by the children of noble families. It requires lots of money to maintain the luxuriousness.

” Your majesty, I think you have forgotten that Paradise school is only for noble families, and sons from normal families cannot afford to take admission.”

She chuckled and said, I know it very well. But I think you're not listening to my words seriously.

Zhao Ming pursed her lips and said, ” Since this school is the only elite school in Ji city, I am sure that the number of donations your school has received every month must be quite high. These things can be covered from those donations then why do you need an extra budget.”

” Also, the amount given by the palace for the maintenance is not low at all. Where is all the money going that you need extra money to maintain the school?” She asked in a cold and indifferent.

” You're not even asking the money to sponsor the education for those children who don't belong to wealthy families so why do you need so much money?”
