388 Compensate for Your Shortcomings to Reduce Your Loss
Yan Qin recalled what the people he had previously sent out had said. Although Ding Nuo Academy was a little dilapidated, the surrounding scenery was good. It was located in a rare place with good feng shui.
“Mhm,” Qian Jiyun replied.
He looked at Yan Qin indifferently and continued, “Go personally to buy out Ding Nuo Academy. Don’t come back if you can’t buy it.”
Yan Qin was speechless. What did his master mean?!!
Ding Nuo Academy had been dilapidated for a long time. The academy probably wanted to sell it long ago.
However, the school was too far from the capital and did not seem like a school. Hence, no one would buy it.
He was confident that if he offered money, he would be able to buy it. Why did his master include that last sentence?
Did he think he could not buy it?
“Yes, I’ll go to Ding Nuo Academy now.”
“Master, I’ll go with him.”
Yan Nuo watched as Yan Qin left in a hurry. He quickly informed his master and followed him.
As a subordinate who had been with his master for the longest time and had never left his side, he knew his master’s personality very well. His last sentence was definitely not a casual remark.
Was he sure that Yan Qin could not buy Ding Nuo Academy?
“Why are you doing this?” An Jiuyue asked Qian Jiyun in amusement as she watched them leave.
“They’re your subordinates, after all. They might rebel against you if you bully them like this.”
“They wouldn’t dare!” Qian Jiyun snapped.
They lacked skills. As subordinates tasked with gathering information, they could not even inquire about the basics. Was he supposed to do everything for them as their master?
“They’re still taking it too easily,” he shook his head and said helplessly.
Yan Qin, who helped him gather information, had always stayed in the capital and only traveled occasionally.
However, because the Prince Zhan Yun Residence was of higher status, his subordinates tended to evaluate people partially, as if this were sufficient.
“Ding Nuo Academy is a small and unassuming establishment. They’ll inevitably be negligent,” An Jiuyue advised.
However, when she thought about it again, she realized that the least noticeable places were the best places to hide. It was very likely that trouble would arise from the most unexpected places in the end.
“However, sometimes, the smaller the place, the more vigilant you have to be. It’s good to let them be careful.
“If you discover your shortcomings early on, you can compensate for them by learning from others to reduce your losses in time,” An Jiuyue remarked softly.
Qian Jiyun was quiet.
Who was the person advising him a moment ago?
…
Yan Qin personally made a trip to Ding Nuo Academy.
He had gone there with confidence but was chased out by the dean of Ding Nuo Academy.
A few old men in their 60s held brooms and hit him fiercely, forcing him to run out of Ding Nuo Academy dejectedly.
“Good for me!” Yan Nuo patted his chest.
Fortunately, he understood the meaning of his master’s last sentence and did not stand directly beside Yan Qin.
Otherwise, the old men would have swept him away with a broom. He would be embarrassed.
He turned around and saw that the broom had scratched Yan Qin’s face. He could not help but laugh.
