Ning Shi was not angry at Tong Baiming's provocative words. He smiled and said, "I'm here on behalf of the Norse Republic Academy. In the name of the academy, I'm inviting Yuan City to cooperate."
Tong Baiming's eyes narrowed as he asked solemnly, "How can I trust you?"
"You don't have to believe me right away," Ning Shi said calmly. "The city construction I mentioned just now is just a goal and a promise. The initial cooperation has nothing to do with building a city.
"I'm here to talk to you now because I want to reach an initial agreement with you.
"In these two days, the principal of the Republic Academy, Liang Wenli, will retire. Three days later, the academy will hold a principal election, and the new principal will be one of us.
"After he takes office, the Norse Republic Academy will cooperate with Yuan City."
