The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 151: Paper, pen and a small head.

Alix alighted from the bathroom with a nervous heart whose pitter patter clanged like a bell in her ears. She had never personally owned anything that cost more than ten thousand yuan. The exception of this of course was everything that had come from Caishen or the Zhang family and the system.

Now, she was set to own a school. Not just a few old buildings but land as well in the city, no less. Granted it was on the outskirts and not the center but it was the city no less.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even realize that the soft melodious music that had been playing earlier inside the restaurant had been changed to pop and So Mi's catchy So nanana was playing.

As soon as she sat down at the table, madam Qian was quick to point it out enthusiastically.

"Xi Xi dear, your husband has said you wrote that song. It's so wonderful, all my nieces and nephews are dancing along to it. Your talentless are really endless."

"Oh, en, thank you." A nervous Alix responded.

She smiled tensely and then politely bowed at the man who was sitting next to madam Qian. She did the same for Jacob Hai, acknowledging him.

"Hello, young madam." Jacob greeted her. "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Jacob Hai Tao, legal council for Zhang construction."

Alix nodded and drew in short quick breaths as she tried her best to cover up her nervousness.

Under the table, Caishen who had been watching her all along took one of her hands in his and squeezed it. He could see that she was nervous and he hoped to help ease her nerves.

She turned her head to the right and smiled at him gratefully. Having him with her was like having a safety blanket.

He squeezed her hand once more and then leaned back in his chair. His aura changed and he became all business like, exuding confidence and authority with just the right hint of pride. "Let's begin."

Alix was surprised because he had taken charge just like that. She was not alone in that surprise because madam Qian shared it as well.

Jacob Hai waved his hand and the three men who were sitting at the table behind them joined them.

Briefcases were opened, Jacob Hai put a recording device on the table and two men opened laptops.

Alix who had come empty handed suddenly experienced a feeling of inadequacy. All she had come with was plain paper, a pen and her small head. She did have her laptop but that was for gaming purposes initially. Suddenly, she wondered if she should pull it out now in order to give off the appearance of a serious business woman as well.

Similarly, the lawyer the seller had come with also opened his laptop and put a few documents on the table.

"Well, we will go first." Madam Qian said. "This is Wang Ming, he is the current owner of Fuwen academy." She pointed Alix out to Wang Ming and said, "This is teacher Lin Alix, she is the one who wants to buy your school."

"Greetings, it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Wang." Alix said.

"Yes, it's a pleasure for me too." Wang Ming answered.

He was an aging man, in his late seventies. In terms of age, he was similar to the elder Zhang couple of grandpa Tai.

"I am so happy to see the school going into the hands of a fellow teacher. To be honest I was worried that you intended to close it down but madam Qian assured me that you intend to keep it open and even expand it." Wang Ming added.

Alix nodded, and her confidence started rising because Wang Ming was soft spoken and gentle. He was probably a teacher before, perhaps it was why he established the school.

"Oh, you can retire confidently secure in the knowledge that you have left it in good hands. It's an arts high school and I am a big supporter of the arts. Even though my passion is classical music I will make sure that the students get the best to put them on their desired path. Just wait, someday Fuwen academy will be the best arts high school in the world." She replied.

Mr. Wang laughed and nodded. "I can't wait for that day. Are you keeping the name Fuwen?"

"Of course." She spoke, assuring. "It stands for creativity, compassion, reliability, generosity, family and loyalty. I think you considered all these things and more before naming it so I will keep the name.

Mr. Wang suddenly felt emotional and he dabbed at the corners of his eyes with a tissue that he got from the table.

"Are you okay?" she asked him.

"I am okay." he answered in a teary voice. "I am just happy because someone is interested in carrying on my legacy. My children are not interested in education. The school has never produced any outstanding students, it's not very big and it's not popular. To be honest the only value it has is the land.

But, I gave it my all and did my best. It's like another child to me and it pains me that I cannot hold on to it any longer. I have decided to give it up so that I can spend more time with my grandchildren."

Alix approved wholeheartedly and it was not just because she was benefiting from his giving up. "That's wonderful, making time for family is important especially as we grow older." she told him.

Wang Ming smiled a little more and got his phone out of his pocket. "Do you want to see some pictures of my grandchildren? They are the most beautiful children you will ever meet. The youngest is one year old and he recently started walking."

As he was getting all emotional and explaining factoids about his grandchildren, Jacob Hai was tapping his right foot against the floor impatiently. This was not a normal negotiation, a lot of irrelevant things were happening. It was the moment to discuss the important details not how many teeth Wang Ming's youngest grandchild had.

He had already noted down a few things to ask. How many shareholders if any did the school have? How many square meters was the land? Were the necessary licenses up to date? Did he come with transfer forms?

He had never been in a business negotiation of this type where the buyer and seller gushed over baby pictures when a deal that had to do with hundreds of millions was on the table.

He couldn't decide if Alix and Wang Ming were too sentimental or simply too clueless on how these matters worked. As he thought about all these things, he looked at the available information on Fuwen academy.

As soon as negotiations started, he would get the best deal for his client.
