Chapter 321 Sitting at the Principal's Table
Ding Manman sat next to Wei Ming. Before Shen Yuan came, the two of them chatted for a few minutes across the empty seat, so they could be considered acquaintances.
She learned that Wei Ming was an alumnus several years older than them and graduated from Zhejiang University. Zhejiang University is ranked third in comprehensive strength in China, and Ding Manman felt a little admiration for him.
It is natural to admire the strong, especially Wei Ming, who wears gold-framed glasses and has a gentle and elegant temperament, which makes Ding Manman like him even more.
But such a senior whom I admired actually flattered a classmate whom I looked down upon, and even called myself a fool and said that Li Ya had taught students like us?
Ding Manman couldn't figure out the reason. Could it be because Shen Yuan was a rich second generation?
During his second and third years of high school, the whole class knew that Shen Yuan's family had some money, otherwise he would not have been able to enter their class.
But they all got in based on their own abilities, so how could they look down on students who were forced in by paying money?
The key is that he is not motivated and often skips classes to surf the Internet. Whenever he has free time, he will go to the playground with the last-ranked student in the class to watch other classes do morning exercises.
Everyone knows that they went to watch girls from other classes running.
She couldn't understand why Senior Brother Wei wanted to please him.
Ye Yu and Zeng Jianyao's faces were equally ugly. It was bad enough that they were scolded, but they couldn't refute it.
Ding Manman just introduced him to them, and they also knew that the man with gold-framed glasses was a senior who graduated from Zhejiang University.
But he graduated from Zhejiang University after all, so his way of speaking is so uncultured!
"Brother, what you said makes sense."
Shen Yuan was amused by the expressions of the three people. He also asked: "Is there any need to keep in touch with classmates like this?"
“That’s totally unnecessary!”
Wei Ming said firmly, "Forget about communicating with a classmate like this. Even keeping him in my address book is unnecessary. No matter what you think, I will definitely delete him."
Ding Manman's face turned even greener because she had just asked Wei Ming for his WeChat ID.
Shen Yuan nodded and said, "I think so too."
"People like this have already gotten so cocky they haven't even memorized a single one of Liya's school mottos."
Wei Ming said comfortingly, "There are all kinds of birds in the forest. If you ask me, Junior Brother, you don't have to be angry with this kind of person."
“.”
Ding Manman and the other two really couldn't bear to listen to a word. If the venue wasn't so crowded and there weren't many seats for three people in a row, they would have wanted to change seats directly.
Shen Yuan is such a dog, he just had to lead them in this direction, deliberately making them unhappy!
Shen Yuan is now very satisfied. It is much more satisfying to use someone else's mouth to scold people than to scold them yourself.
However, he did not talk about this topic for too long, and instead talked to Wei Ming about things in the medical field. He is now also involved in the medical field, after all, he owns 15% of the shares of Hemu Medical Group.
When Tongzi distributed Hemu shares before, Shen Yuan also made up for his knowledge of the medical field.
The more Wei Ming talked, the brighter his eyes became, because although Shen Yuan was not a medical major, he had some knowledge of the medical field. Could his family run a hospital?
He wants to expand his social resources through this alumni association, and it would be best to have resources from peers.
However, not long after, he confirmed his guess again, because Qi Xi, who was in the same class as him, actually came over to say hello.
Qi Xi actually noticed Shen Yuan a long time ago, because he was so outstanding in the crowd. With his figure, age and temperament, he was always eye-catching no matter where he went.
She was not an extrovert, but considering that this was one of her bosses and that he had helped her out in Yanjing last time, she should say hello out of courtesy.
So after hesitating for a long time, Qi Xi timidly walked up to Shen Yuan: "Mr. Shen."
"Um?"
Shen Yuan looked up and saw that it was Qi Xi, who was wearing denim shorts, revealing a pair of slender straight legs, and a simple white printed T-shirt on her upper body, which highlighted her curvy figure.
Needless to say, her facial features must be good-looking to be selected to attend that dinner, especially since she and Dong Ya were the two most beautiful people that night.
"Did you also graduate from Liya?" Shen Yuan asked.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Shen, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Qi Xi quietly glanced at Shen Yuan's expression, then nodded to Wei Ming beside her. Then, with her social anxiety, she pointed to the corner and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Well, go ahead." Shen Yuan waved his hand.
Wei Ming was a little confused when he heard that name. It wasn't Brother Chen, nor Mr. Chen, but Director Chen?
She knew that Qi Xi worked at Hemu Hospital, and if it was a position with "Dong" in their hospital, wouldn't it be a director?
Wei Ming swallowed his saliva. He attended the alumni association and happened to sit next to the director of Hemu Medical Group. He also left a very good impression on the director. Doesn't this mean the dawn of a bright future?
Wei Ming suddenly became very excited, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yuan was different.
Shen Yuan couldn't keep a low profile now. A simple sentence "Mr. Shen" not only changed Wei Ming's mentality, but also surprised Ding Manman and the other two beside him.
Mr. Shen?
I seem to have only seen this name with the character "Dong" on TV.
They exchanged glances, and could read some absurdity and confusion in each other's expressions.
My former high school classmates were being called this before they even graduated from college. It sounded a bit strange and indescribable.
Wei Ming planned to confirm with Qi Xi later, but judging from Qi Xi's attitude just now, his guess should be almost right. The significance of confirmation was only to confirm the remaining one or two points.
He didn't think much about it, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then asked for Shen Yuan's WeChat.
This kind of thigh, hug it as tight as you can!
Not long after the conversation, the alumni association officially began. The host was the vice president. After his brief introduction, Principal Tang began to speak.
When Shen Yuan was in high school, it was Principal Tang who was in office, and it was still him after a few years.
Because of his big belly and chubby face, his classmates gave him the nickname "Soup Dumpling".
At that time, everyone liked to give teachers nicknames based on their physical features. For example, Lao Yu was nicknamed "Fish Bubble Eyes" because his surname was Yu and his eyes looked like fish bubbles.
While Principal Tang was speaking, Wei Ming leaned over to Shen Yuan's ear and said, "Back then, you probably also called him a soup dumpling, right?"
Shen Yuan glanced at him and said, "You didn't take it then, did you?"
Wei Ming smiled and said, "Anyway, when I was in the first year of high school, he was already called a soup dumpling."
“.”
Lao Tang kept talking non-stop, and only ended abruptly when everyone was getting a little impatient.
Then came the turn of a distinguished guest speaker, Academician Li from the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has made outstanding contributions to the theoretical research and public model development of special vehicles, and can be said to be a true national treasure.
Academician Li is over 70 years old and has gray hair on his temples, but as soon as he appeared on the stage, thunderous applause broke out in the venue.
Seeing Academician Li standing on the stage, Shen Yuan was also in awe.
This society always advocates the idea that money is supreme, but the country can develop into such a powerful country today without the contribution of these national treasures.
After Academician Li finished his speech, Principal Tang talked about Li Liya’s Education Development Foundation.
"One of the purposes of establishing the Liya Education Development Foundation is to develop the school, improve teaching facilities, update teaching equipment, and upgrade hardware standards."
"The second is to reward outstanding teachers and students by establishing scholarships and teaching awards to reward students with excellent academic performance and high moral character, as well as teachers with outstanding teaching achievements and dedication."
"Third and most importantly, we must help students from families with financial difficulties complete their studies, ensure they do not drop out of school due to financial reasons, and guarantee educational fairness."
"In addition to government grants and corporate donations, we also hope that the outstanding alumni present here can contribute their own share of the funds!"
At this point, Wei Ming whispered, "Junior brother, to be honest, the Liya Education Development Foundation has been established for more than ten years. I was a poor student back then, and my alma mater covered all my tuition and living expenses for three years of high school."
Shen Yuan nodded: “This foundation is indeed meaningful.”
"yes."
Wei Ming said with emotion: "This is the financial aid part, and as long as you are in the top five in the class and the top 50 in the grade, you will also receive scholarships. I received quite a lot at the time. It's a pity that I have only been working for two years and cannot donate too much."
"It doesn't matter, there will be a chance later."
Shen Yuan patted Wei Ming's shoulder.
After the story about the Education Development Foundation was finished, it was time for the interactive lottery. Shen Yuan found the class teacher, Lao Yu, and said casually, "Lao Yu, I plan to donate some money."
"Mr. Shen, how much do you plan to donate?"
Old Yu asked with a smile, he was not surprised at all, with Shen Yuan's current wealth, he was surprised that he didn't donate money.
Donating money to a school like Li Ya is not only charitable, but also brings reputation and prestige.
“This number.”
Shen Yuan gave a thumbs up.
"100,000 or 1 million?"
Lao Yu asked.
Shen Yuan smiled and said, “Ten million.”
"Ten million?"
Old Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he reacted. He swallowed twice and said, "How much is your net worth now? Your donations are calculated in tens of millions?"
Lao Yu couldn’t imagine how much wealth someone who could donate 10 million yuan had, was it in the billions or tens of billions?
"If you donate that much, I can sit at the principal's table at the teachers' opening banquet."
Old Yu thought about it and laughed: "Maybe Old Tang will toast me twice by then."
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "You said I am giving you such a big face now, but when I received the admission letter, you gave me that look."
"I didn't know you would be where you are today."
Old Yu scratched the back of his head, but then he straightened up suddenly: "I'm going to report to the principal later. My students are going to donate 10 million!"
Old Yu was only serious when he was in class or working, and he was like a child at other times. Shen Yuan chatted with him for a few more words and then returned to the venue.
After the interactive lottery, it was time for free communication and visits. Everyone was in groups of three or two, but Shen Yuan didn't even have a companion. The three classmates looked down on him, and no one knew where Wei Ming had gone.
Forget it, just go shopping by yourself.
Ding Manman and the other two wanted to drag Lao Yu along for a stroll. After finally finding the beaming Lao Yu, they invited him, "Teacher, let's go to our old classroom together."
"You go ahead, I have important news to report to the principal."
Old Yu said happily.
Ding Manman and the other two were a little puzzled. It had been so long since the college entrance examination results came out and universities were about to start. Was there any good news?
Lao Yu just walked over and suddenly remembered something: “Did you talk to Shen Yuan just now?”
The three of them shook their heads in unison: "No."
"Why don't you chat?" Lao Yu asked puzzledly.
The three of them didn't know how to respond, let alone chat, they didn't even say hello.
Of course, they did not admit that they were wrong because Shen Yuan did not take the initiative to greet them.
Old Yu had been a homeroom teacher for so many years and was very good at judging people. He sensed something in the silence between the three people and simply sighed, "After all, you haven't graduated yet, so it's understandable."
The three of them were even more confused as to what Lao Yu meant by sighing. It was as if he was sighing that they were not motivated enough.
Ding Manman was a little curious: "Old classmate, what is Shen Yuan doing at home now?"
Ding Manman wondered if Shen Yuan's family was doing some big business, otherwise why would the two senior brothers and sisters be so respectful to him and call him "Mr. Shen".
"He doesn't rely on his family, he relies on himself."
Old Yu simply explained, "He's currently working in the health and medical field. He owns his own company and also owns shares in a high-end medical group. In terms of earning power, he's definitely Liya's top graduate in the past decade."
"oh."
Zeng Jianyao nodded indifferently. He just hadn't graduated yet and hadn't had the chance to show his talents. Maybe he would achieve more than him in the future.
Ding Manman and Ye Yu were not as stubborn as Zeng Jianyao. They were a little bit incredulous: "He earned it himself?"
"What else?"
Old Yu asked back, and then seeing that the monitor he had chosen that year still had a nonchalant expression, he added earnestly, "You guys, don't always set your sights too high. Good grades don't necessarily mean you'll achieve great things in the future."
"Keep a normal mind, don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate others."
Lao Yu has seen off so many classes of graduates and has seen many students who flew high but also fell badly. Some students can get up again after falling, but many others never recover.
"Okay, I'm going to report the good news to the principal."
After saying that, Lao Yu left, leaving Ding Manman and the other two standing there in a daze.
Ding Manman and Ye Yu still couldn't believe it. Their high school classmate had become a winner in life before he even graduated from college?
Zeng Jianyao was thinking about what Lao Yu said later. Wasn't "keep calm" a hint to them? Didn't the old teacher think that he would be better than Shen Yuan in the future?
At this time, Shen Yuan was casually strolling around the campus, admiring the school girls in their school uniforms.
High school students are constrained by schools and parents, and with the pressure of academics, they dare not open up completely, so they all have pure natural looks and wear long ponytails.
Of course, there are also girls who cut their hair short to save time on washing their hair.
However, despite the pressure, their nutrition has been kept up. Under their short-sleeved school uniforms, they walk with a swaying gait, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
Shen Yuan admired them, and they were also secretly glancing at him. After all, he was tall, handsome, and had good taste in clothes. Girls of this age were very concerned about their looks.
Just as Shen Yuan was enjoying the view, two voices suddenly sounded behind him.
"Senior."
"Director Shen."
Shen Yuan turned around and saw Wei Ke'er and Qi Xi. They were not together, but coincidentally they were both looking for Chen Yuan and called out at the same time.
"Do you have something to ask Senior?"
“Do you have something to do with Mr. Shen?”
The two girls had such a damn good understanding that they looked a little embarrassed. However, Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It shouldn't be anything important, so why not go for a walk together?"
