The town high school principal wasn't about to be outdone, slapping his chest in assurance, "Xia Ningxing, don't listen to him, if you're willing to stay at our school, I'll waive your tuition fee!"
"Pah, what's a waived tuition fee!" The bald man scoffed coldly, but when he looked at Xia Ningxing again, he wore a gentler expression, and his tone became even more affectionate, "Xia, as long as you're willing to come to our school, I won't just waive your tuition fees, but also your boarding fees, and even your meal fees. Plus, I'll give you an allowance of ten bucks a month!"
He couldn't believe she would refuse such an enticing offer.
"I'll give fifteen!" The town high school principal, fearing Xia Ningxing would agree, immediately raised the bid.
"Then I'll give twenty!"
"Twenty-five from me!"
"Thirty-five!"
"Forty!!!!!"
Seeing that the two men were about to come to blows, Xia Ningxing and Mrs. Xia: "..."
What exactly is going on here?
It's not plotting something foul?
