In Principal Huang’s impression, Jiang Xue was not someone who lacked money. So, he was somewhat puzzled as to why she wanted to start a business.

After all, he had seen firsthand the value of her paintings. It’s important to know that the income from one of her paintings could be equivalent to someone else’s income over decades or even a lifetime.

Given this, could she possibly be lacking money?

"Principal Huang, I have started my own company. The company has just opened, and it’s a busy time. Because I have to go to school, I’ve entrusted the company’s affairs to others. It’s just that since the company has just opened, there are many things to be busy with. So, I’m thinking, if you permit, I’d like to take leave to attend to the company’s affairs."

"Of course, I won’t neglect my studies, I just won’t be attending classes at school every day. I certainly won’t miss the exams and such." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"You are starting a company?" Principal Huang was shocked again. Jiang Xue truly impressed him time and again. Previously, she wrote beautifully, then played the piano well, and even possessed medical skills. Now she was telling him she had started her own company.

It’s known that starting a company isn’t an easy task, yet Jiang Xue had done it. He was at a loss for words.

"Yes, Principal. If you have the time, you’re welcome to visit my company." Jiang Xue said as she handed her business card to him, saying: "Principal, this is my business card."

Principal Huang looked at it and saw it read: General Manager of Muxue Technology Company - Jiang Xue.

Seeing Principal Huang staring at her business card without speaking, Jiang Xue continued: "Don’t worry, Principal, I can assure you it won’t interfere with my studies."

Principal Huang looked at Jiang Xue and did not immediately agree, but pondered. Starting a company during school time was a first at Nan University.

"Principal, is there something you’re finding difficult?" Jiang Xue asked anxiously as she watched Principal Huang remain silent. If he didn’t agree, she would have no choice but to attend classes every day.

"Jiang Xue, can you agree to one condition?" Principal Huang thought for a while and said: "Your situation is very unusual, if I’m to make things easy for you, you must give some assurance, right?"

"What does the Principal mean?" Jiang Xue had some understanding of his meaning, but before she could express it, Principal Huang spoke: "Jiang Xue, how about this, if you manage to rank within the top twenty in the year for this semester’s finals, I’ll agree to your request. After that, you just need to come to school for exams, and it’s up to you whether you attend classes or not."

"Alright, it’s a deal." Jiang Xue agreed with a smile. Although she joined mid-course, she was confident that while she might not be top, she could certainly make it to the top twenty.

"Then I will look forward to it," Principal Huang said seeing Jiang Xue’s confidence, smiling as well. He had given her the opportunity, and if she couldn’t seize it, it wouldn’t be his fault.

Of course, if she could meet this requirement, making an exception for her wouldn’t be unreasonable.

The two reached an agreement. Jiang Xue stayed at Principal Huang’s home a little longer, until Mr. Huang got up from the bed and confirmed everything was fine, then she left.

Leaving the Huang Family home, Jiang Xue noticed there was still plenty of time. She remembered Shangguan Wenbin hadn’t been home for several days, so she decided to visit and see if there was anything she could help with.

At the company, Shangguan Wenbin and Wang Jun were there, but they were in a meeting.
