Chapter 99

"Older sister, get it straight, it's you who should give her a hundred bucks, not me," Li Yi said.

"What's the difference? It's like your money isn't mine," Li Ting said, her eyes wide open.

Ren Qiaoyi secretly sipped her drink and couldn't help but giggle. What kind of thought process do these siblings have, casually offering someone a hundred bucks as a salary, and then getting confused about it!

"Of course it's different," Li Yi picked up his drink, only to find that Li Ting had already drunk it all, so he put it down again.

"I'm only responsible for you, not for the people under you. Who you hire, how much you pay, whether it's a few hundred, a few thousand, or even tens of thousands, has nothing to do with me. If you hire someone today and ask me for money, and then hire another one tomorrow, will you ask me again? If everything has to go through me, then who is actually running the study group, you or me?"

"After all this, you just want to be a hands-off boss?" Li Ting's eyes darted around, "Then you should give me some of your money, at least a hundred bucks. I've already promised her, and I need to hire her at least once today."

Even though her brother had become a billionaire, Li Ting still had no money and could only ask Li Yi for a hundred.

Li Yi reached out and rubbed Li Ting's face, smiling, "Older sister, I can give you money, but not like this. For example, if you want me to invest in your study group, you need to give me a plan first. Tell me the total amount of funds you need, the activities of the study group, the goals, and what benefits it will bring me. You also need to explain what compensation I will get if your management fails to meet the goals, after all, I can't just throw my money away."

"What? This crazy idea was yours, and now you want me to give you a plan?" Li Ting asked in surprise.

"That's right. I can give you any advice, but the executor is you, so you must have a plan."

"I think you're just trying to trick me. Tell me, what kind of plan can a study group have?" Li Ting asked.

Li Yi smiled lightly, "There can be many. For example, if you want to keep it simple, you can plan for everyone in the group to get into top universities, and the return would be that they can join our company first after graduation. If you want to make it more challenging, you can develop the study group into a school, then into a university, and finally into the world's most famous university. Once this plan succeeds, the return would be very substantial."

"You mean I can develop the study group into a university?" Li Ting's eyes widened.

"Into the world's most famous university. You're my sister, if you only run a second-rate university, I would be too embarrassed."

Ren Qiaoyi, seeing the two getting more and more excited, couldn't help but interrupt, "Cough, cough, guys, it's still daylight."

If Li Yi was sending Li Ting to Hong Kong for an exam, Ren Qiaoyi would believe it, but running a private university was just a daydream. Two high school students who hadn't even graduated were planning to run a world-class university. Was that even possible?

Wu Simeng also smiled. She didn't doubt Li Yi's ability, as he was a powerful cultivator in her eyes. But cultivators would find a famous mountain to practice, not run a university.

"Ren, of course I know it's still daylight, and I'm not talking nonsense. As long as my sister wants to, she can run the world's best university. The key is her attitude," Li Yi said calmly.

Ren Qiaoyi blinked and whispered to Li Ting, "Does your brother need to see a psychiatrist?"

Li Ting puffed out her chest, disdainfully, "What are you talking about? My brother can buy an entire mental hospital now!"

"If it's a mental hospital, the problem is even more serious," Ren Qiaoyi thought to herself.

She had long felt that these siblings were getting more and more unrealistic, not like normal people. How would she write the report for the school newspaper tomorrow?

Iron God Kobe, after getting a mental illness, saw a significant drop in intelligence but a significant increase in athletic ability, making perfect shots, countless blocks, and even dunking over the center of the school team?

Would it be unethical to directly expose the patient's privacy?

While Ren Qiaoyi was calculating in her head, Li Ting was already slapping the table, "Then the goal of our study group is to expand into the world's best university! Hey, didn't you want me to be your secretary? If I go to run a university..."

"You can do both, what's to be afraid of?" Li Yi smiled.

Li Ting's face wrinkled, "Why does it feel so tricky?"

"Don't worry, you're still young and need to work hard," Li Yi patted his sister's shoulder, "In the future, Mom will lead life science research to promote human evolution, Aunt will be responsible for high-tech product and tool development to promote civilization, and you will be responsible for building a university to train the next generation of talent. We can build the basic framework."

"It sounds like we'll all be very busy. What will you do?" Li Ting asked.

"I'll be the hands-off boss!" Li Yi laughed lightly.

"Go to sleep!" Li Ting rolled her eyes and then said, "How much money can you give me to build a university? Aren't you starting two companies? Do you still have money for me?"

Li Yi tapped her head, "You don't need to worry about money. Write a preliminary plan for me today. If I approve it, I can give you ten billion tomorrow as initial funding."

"Ten billion?" Li Ting stuck out her tongue and then said boldly, "Then it's settled."

She had grown up playing with the same toys as her brother, and in her eyes, what belonged to her brother was hers. With sixty billion, giving her ten billion wasn't a big deal.

"You, do you want to join my study group? We can build the world's best university together," Li Ting, buoyed by the promise of ten billion, pointed at Ren Qiaoyi and asked.

Ren Qiaoyi chuckled but didn't answer, thinking to herself, "You two are crazy, I don't want to mix with you!"

Li Yi glanced at Ren Qiaoyi and said to Li Ting, "Xiaoting, when you form the study group, it's best to be selective in the early stages. Don't accept just anyone, because we don't have time to train mediocre people. Like Bao Xiangxin, who has excellent character, some organizational skills, and intelligence, is a good candidate for training. The others, forget it."

"Okay," Li Ting nodded, "But I've already invited Ren the reporter. Ren Qiaoyi, are you coming or not?"

Ren Qiaoyi felt depressed when she heard this. It sounded like she was being looked down upon by these two crazy people!

If she said no, it would seem like she was the mediocre person Li Yi described. But if she said yes, who would want to hang out with two crazy people?

"Cough, cough, I also need a hundred bucks a day," Ren Qiaoyi found a reason on the spot.

"A hundred bucks a day," Li Ting frowned, thinking for a moment, "Bao Xiangxin is in the top five of the grade, worth a hundred bucks. You, not worth it. I'll give you a maximum of fifty bucks."

"Fine, fifty bucks, but I want it all at once for a year, or no deal!"

Ren Qiaoyi didn't want to argue with these two crazy people. Even if it was fifty bucks a day, it would be over ten thousand a year. She didn't believe these two crazy people would carry that much money with them.

As long as Li Ting couldn't come up with the money, she wouldn't have to join the study group.

Li Ting turned and said, "Brother, give the money!"

"I have some loose change in my bag," Li Yi said.

"You have money in your bag?" Li Ting casually opened Li Yi's bag and saw large bundles of cash inside!

"Ah?" Ren Qiaoyi's eyes widened.

Stacks of red bills, this must be at least several tens of thousands! How could a student carry so much money to school?

She didn't know that Li Yi had casually withdrawn ten thousand after finishing his securities business in the morning. Although he often used bank cards, cash was undoubtedly more convenient. For Li Yi, this amount was just a drop in the bucket, and he wasn't afraid of being robbed.

Wu Simeng also opened her eyes wide at the sight of the cash in Li Yi's bag, but she didn't think it was real money. She assumed Li Yi was using an illusion. After all, he was a great cultivator who could turn into a fairy, so creating a few stacks of money was nothing.

"Ha ha!" Li Ting, seeing the large amount of money, was very happy. Who doesn't like money? She directly slapped a stack of red bills on the table, "Fifty bucks a day, that's eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty a year. Here you go!"
