That was the reality. She understood what Asher was saying, but it was only a wild dream. Those who sympathized with Aria nodded. Most of them were self-made after difficulties, so there were quite a few who knew the lives of the really poor ones.

"That's why I knew it wasn't really worth discussing."

Aria, who briefly shed her melancholy mood in the past she didn't want to recall, again she wore a mask of pride. At her cold words, their gaze towards Asher was not good. There was even a hint of why Investor A might have picked such an idea.

In the atmosphere of such criticism, Asher did not lose his composure. Rather, it seemed normal for him to get the thorns on himself. He took some papers out of his arms. They were documents with lots of letters on them. He lifted and showed them to the people for an explanation.

"Don't worry. We are going to give them jobs along with their studies."

To sum up, the plan was to provide a fixed amount of work and pay salaries in the name of a scholarship student, without hiring extra workers after constructing a school. He also explained that several people would share simple tasks in less than four hours a day so that they would not interfere with their studies.

"And we are going to be commissioned a professional job from outside and make the able students work. We will waive tuition fees based on grades and receive external investment. Ah, some people have already expressed their intention to invest."

He continued his explanation quite plausible. There seemed to be someone to invest, even if not Aria. Moreover, given the wealth he had sent to Mielle before, he seemed to be able to do it alone, even without the investment. Someone asked, who was listening to his story.

"Do you intend to build a new school?"

"Yes, we've already secured the amount."

If necessary, the budget would be organized in the imperial family, and without doing so, they would have accumulated a lot of money from what they had already done last year

The building would cost quite a lot of money to build, but the conference room was in a quandary when it was said that it had been secured. It was also because they were not as desperate to start as they had been.

Doubtfully, Mrs. Clean asked Asher, "If you have that much capital, why do you have to do this business? The idea sounds great, but you want to give the common people a chance rather than a business, and I don't think it's a business. Personally, I think it's better for you to invest in other businesses."

"That's..."

The gaze of Asher, who was about to answer her question, went to Aria. His eyes facing her seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. Still, there was emotion in her tender eyes.

Because of that, Aria's shoulders trembled once. 'Why are you looking at me without answering questions?' It was embarrassing, but on the other hand, she had a guess, which made her face flush.

'Don't tell me, it's not about me.'

Disappointment soon turned into expectation. It was Asher who had overestimated her, who was a lowly position among the common people. He had praised her for her intelligence and invited her to the meeting. He might not know the fact that she was Investor A, but in any case, he was different from the others who neglected her without any reason.

Breaking the long, long silence, Asher answered the question. "Because I need talented people who are unspoiled. Fresh talented people, not infatuated with a desire for power."
