Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Previously, when delivering medical services door-to-door, Xueyao had discussed with the city lord the idea of helping those families in need. The city lord was deeply moved and promptly dispatched manpower and material resources.

When Xueyao and her team were carrying out the specific operations, they were done in the name of the public.

Xueyao doesn't care about the reputation she gets, she just wants to truly help those in need.

At that time, the city lord's daughter Huo Yitong wanted to join the actions of Xue Yao and others, but her family kept her at home and did not allow her to go out because the eldest lady was not suitable to show up in public.

When she heard Xueyao was going to open a school, she was determined to get involved, even threatening her life. Fearing she might do something irreparable, her family reluctantly agreed.

Xue Yao was a little surprised by Huo Yitong's persistence, but she also knew that although the city lord's daughter was spoiled, she had firm beliefs and pursuits in her heart.

"Yitong, have you thought it through? Are you not afraid of hardship?" Xueyao asked with a smile and concern.

"Don't be afraid, Xueyao, believe me." Huo Yitong replied in a crisp voice.

So, Xueyao accepted Huo Yitong's joining and made her a part of the school's construction.

She thought to herself that if Huo Yitong could really persevere, perhaps one day she would be of great use.

Xueyao followed her pre-planned plan to build a large-scale academy in the center of Liancheng, naming it Liancheng Academy. She also built two branch academies in the east, south, west, and north, each of which was also quite large.

Funding is not a problem, so construction can start at several locations simultaneously.

When recruiting construction craftsmen in the early stage, Xueyao found Liu Maodong and said, "Master Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."

Xue Yao smiled slyly, "Besides, there is no profit sharing for this cooperation."

"You are doing good things for the common people. I am honored to be able to participate." Liu Maodong was naturally willing to do so.

With the business connections he had accumulated over the years, Liu Maodong quickly found several teams of construction craftsmen. These teams consisted of a few or a dozen people, and the members of each team often worked together, so they had a good understanding of each other.

After meeting and discussing the wages, Xueyao felt that the four construction team leaders were quite honest and she was very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, the last one was very arrogant.

"You are Miss Xueyao, right? I heard that you are going to build an academy?" The head of the construction workers was a big man in his forties with a beard and looked very rough.

Xueyao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I am Xueyao. May I know your name?"

The big man snorted and said, "I'm Liu Tiezhu, the best craftsman in this city. But, Miss Xueyao, the wages you offer are a bit low."

Xue Yao frowned slightly. She had already inquired about the market conditions, and the wages offered were already quite fair. This Liu Tiezhu was obviously trying to raise the price.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It's not that Xueyao can't offer higher wages, but she can't make this concession and let others who need to build houses in the future also bear the high price.

She didn't express any dissatisfaction, but said calmly, "Master Liu, I know you're a famous craftsman in the city, so your skills are naturally not bad. But building an academy is no small matter, and I hope to find a truly capable team of craftsmen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tiezhu immediately lost his temper. "What do you mean? Am I not as good as those little craftsmen? Let me tell you, Miss Xueyao, my craftsmanship is among the best in all of Liancheng."

Xue Yao smiled faintly, "Of course I trust Master Liu's craftsmanship. However, the development of an institution requires teamwork, not just the level of individual skills. I hope that our cooperation can be pleasant, rather than having disagreements from the beginning."

After a pause, Xue Yao looked at him with a half-smile, "Besides, whether the wages I offered are really too low, your Master Liu knows better than me."

Xueyao's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Liu Tiezhu was stunned and suddenly felt like he was stripped naked.

His expression softened slightly, but he still maintained his arrogance. "Miss Xueyao, I can make some concessions on the wages. But you must promise me that after the school is completed, you will erect a stone tablet at the entrance with my name engraved on it."

Xueyao was a little surprised. Liu Tiezhu's request was rather unusual. But after thinking it over, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, as long as Master Liu can complete the work with all his heart and soul, I can agree to this request."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tiezhu's face lit up with joy. "Haha, great. Miss Xueyao, don't worry. I, Liu Tiezhu, will definitely live up to your trust and build the school beautifully."

In this way, Xueyao successfully persuaded Liu Tiezhu to join the team in building the school. Although the process was somewhat bumpy, Xueyao believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to complete this great project.

Xueyao personally supervised the construction according to her own design.

Everyone in the Secret Garden also has their own mission.

She gave some instructions to Renhu, Yun Duoduo, Xueyu and Xiaolin'er, asking them to go to the four branch offices respectively to coordinate some affairs.

The leader of the spirit Su Xin is still responsible for the management of the secret garden.

As for Huo Yitong, Xue Yao asked her to be responsible for the management and dispatch of materials, and to keep account books.

The construction of the Liancheng Academy is in full swing, and Xueyao communicates with the craftsmen every day. The construction of the Liancheng Academy is in full swing, and Xueyao is busy at the construction site every day.

Not only did she go to the construction site in person to check the progress and supervise every detail, she also frequently communicated with the craftsmen, listened to their opinions and suggestions, and ensured that every link was done to perfection.

She wanted the construction of the school to be in line with her vision and meet the actual needs of use.

Although Liu Tiezhu has a somewhat arrogant personality, he is indeed a skilled craftsman.

The team of craftsmen he led worked very diligently and made rapid progress under Xue Yao's strict supervision.

Knowing that he was arrogant, Xue Yao also understood his personality and knew how to please him. She specifically handed over the construction of the school headquarters, that is, the school in the central city, to him.

As a member of the school's construction, Huo Yitong also actively participated in it and did things in an efficient manner.

Although she came from a prominent family, she had changed her old, spoiled, and unassuming ways, getting along well with the craftsmen. Besides the tasks Xueyao assigned her, she often helped with other tasks within her capacity.

Sometimes he helps Xueyao handle various affairs, and sometimes he personally participates in physical labor such as moving materials and cleaning the construction site.

Her tenacity and perseverance impressed Xueyao and further strengthened her trust and expectations of her.

Xue Yao was very pleased to see Huo Yitong's performance. She believed that the daughter of the city lord would be able to play a greater role in the future.

Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the construction of Liancheng Academy progressed smoothly. Soon, magnificent buildings rose from the ground, becoming a beautiful part of Liancheng's landscape.

The teachers were all recruited by Liu Maodong through various channels. When they heard that Xueyao had opened a school in Liancheng, many people in the literary circle were moved.

"The children of Liancheng are blessed."

"This is something that will benefit us in the present and for generations to come. We are fortunate enough to be able to contribute our modest contribution. What more could we ask for?"

When the Lotus City Academy was officially completed, the entire city was in an uproar. People flocked to the academy, eager to see the splendor of this new institution.

Xueyao and Huo Yitong also stood at the highest point of the school, overlooking the land where they had worked together, their hearts filled with pride and satisfaction.

"Xueyao, we did it!" Huo Yitong hugged Xueyao excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, Yitong, we did it." Xueyao responded with a smile, a determined light flashing in her eyes, "This is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go."

Under Xueyao's leadership, Liancheng Academy will begin a new chapter. They will continue to work hard to provide a better education for the children of Liancheng and sow the seeds of hope for the future of this land.

After the school was built, Xueyao specially invited local literati to write plaques for the school and held a grand opening ceremony.

Xueyao stood at the entrance of the academy, looking at the bustling crowd, feeling a sense of accomplishment. She could almost see the talented men and women who would emerge from here, showcasing their talents in various fields.

But just as she was about to look away, a familiar figure in the crowd caught her attention.
