Meng Jinse was a bit surprised, "No way? What business?"
"The Female Academy I run doesn't really make money. Sometimes, I even have to subsidize it," Bai Ruozhu laughed, "Consider it charity work."
"Ah..." Meng Jinse was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she understood.
The Female Academy hires the best teachers, and their monthly salaries are not small, plus the learning materials aren't cheap either. But not too many people attend the academy.
If twenty or so students are taught together in one class, it would naturally be the best. But if there are only one or two, they still need teachers for each subject, which means high costs.
Additionally, many families only let their daughters attend shortly before marriage to add a bit of prestige, so the academy really doesn't earn money.
With Bai Ruozhu's intelligence, if she's still running a business that doesn't make money, it shows she has a truly kind heart.
