Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Already Guessed Pretty Much Everything

When Ryan Sterling heard the feedback from the school, he wasn’t surprised in the slightest. He simply nodded.

He had already guessed as much.

After all, Alex Grant was still just a kid. If he was doing something out of the ordinary, there had to be a reason, and it was unlikely to be a very complex one.

And since it was simple, it wasn’t that hard to guess...

"Contact Alex Grant. Tell him that if he scores over seven hundred, the school will give him a cash bonus directly. But he has to attend university this year—no repeating."

Ryan Sterling’s first consideration was that if Alex Grant delayed for another year, too many things could change; the future was unpredictable.

His second...

He didn’t want Evelyn Grant to worry about her brother.

Others might not know, but how could Ryan Sterling not? If Evelyn Grant learned her brother was delaying college over a million yuan, she would surely blame herself.

She would feel it was her fault that her brother had to make such a sacrifice.

"Alright, I’ll contact him as soon as I get back!" The principal rose with a cheerful grin and started to leave.

From behind, Ryan Sterling suddenly called out to him.

"Has Alex Grant been out of school for the past few days?"

"Yes, that’s right, he hasn’t. His homeroom teacher said he’s at the hospital taking care of his sister. He’s a good, sensible kid; whenever something comes up at home, he always wants to help out. But don’t you worry, his daily assignments are sent to him on time. After he finishes and sends them back, we have teachers specifically assigned to explain the material and grade his work."

Seeing that both sponsors were focused on Alex Grant, the principal naturally had to give him the best possible treatment. He didn’t dare to neglect him in the slightest!

It was no exaggeration to say they were practically putting him on a pedestal.

In previous years, wealthy business people had offered sponsorships or made donations to the school, but they were always doing it to boost their company’s reputation.

But these two...

It seemed that really wasn’t their motive.

They were here solely for Alex Grant.

As long as things went well for Alex Grant, they were willing to pay.

"Explaining things through a phone screen is never as thorough as teaching face-to-face."

"That’s true..." The principal’s mind raced. "Do you mean I should call him back to school immediately, so he doesn’t let his sister’s situation delay his studies?"

Ryan Sterling shot him a look, his thin lips barely moving. "I’m telling you to send a teacher to the hospital to tutor Alex Grant."

"..."

The principal froze.

Ryan Sterling’s eyes immediately locked onto him. "What? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem at all! You’re so thoughtful, Mr. Sterling. Why didn’t I think of that? We can send a teacher to tutor him there! That would be just like one-on-one tutoring."

"Good. All teachers who go tutor Alex Grant will get triple their salary. I’ll cover it."

How could the principal dare to accept that?

"You’ve already given more than enough, that’s really not necessary! Do our teachers need triple pay just to tutor their own student? Alex Grant is the top student in his grade. If a student they’ve taught does well on the college entrance exams, it brings honor to the teachers themselves! There’s no need for an extra bonus."

Of course, the principal had his own considerations.

If he accepted the offer this time, it would set a precedent.

What if the next sponsor wasn’t as generous? What would he do then?

He couldn’t just take money from the school’s budget to subsidize it.

And he certainly couldn’t use it as a reason to make demands of future donors...

Therefore, the principal had absolutely no intention of setting that precedent.
