Chapter 48
What does it mean to play mahjong all night long in a villa?
It’s pretty cool, but also pretty tiring.
A large box of fruit snacks and various slightly cooled drinks had been prepared in the basement and placed on a small table and freezer nearby for free use.
However, the most popular ones are still various small preserved fruits and melon seeds. The highlight of playing mahjong is to eat melon seeds while shouting "peng" loudly.
After the "touching", they continued to chat about various interesting things between classmates, and complained about the ridiculous things that happened at work, or the gossip they saw on the Internet. Anyway, they can talk about anything under the sun, just talk nonsense, and are not afraid of spreading rumors.
The more exaggerated the words are, the better the spirit is, and the longer the dragon gate formation will last.
The fight lasted until two in the morning. Everyone had no more space to stick the notes on their faces, so they yawned and fell asleep in the lounge next door.
It’s just like when I was in college, I played, made noises, slept like crazy, and thought of ways to work. It seemed like I had endless energy and could never release it.
Of course, I also stayed in bed very late in the morning.
The four of them squeezed into a lounge just like they did in their college dormitory, pulling each other's blankets together and sleeping in a mess.
It was not until the shrill alarm clock rang that several people suddenly sat up from the bed, disheveled and looking at each other. Their first reaction was that they were going to be late for class.
The next moment, I felt something was wrong - hadn't they graduated for several years?
At this time, Xiao Dan suddenly realized: "Ahhh! What time is it now? I won't be able to catch the high-speed train!"
She crawled around for a long time before she found her cell phone. She turned it on to check the time, then lay down again.
There are still more than three hours until the bus I bought leaves, so it’s enough time.
As soon as she relaxed, she yawned again, rolled onto Li Xuan and rubbed against her, then stuck close to Xue Mi, and was finally kicked down by Lulu. She sat on the ground and turned into a whimpering monster.
"I didn't even take a shower yesterday," Lulu sniffed herself in disgust, "No, I'm going to take a shower right now."
The floor was also covered with a thick carpet. Xiao Dan simply sat cross-legged on the floor and began to look through his phone to read messages from his family.
Xue Mi said, "I told you that you wanted to go to bed early yesterday, but you dragged us along and refused to stop. I'm so sleepy. I'm going upstairs to take a shower too. Do you want to come with me? I originally arranged a room for you, but you didn't even get a nap."
They didn't feel anything at first, but after hearing this, Xiaodan and Li Xuan also felt sticky and smelled of tobacco. They couldn't stand it anymore and went upstairs together to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
Only then did Xiao Dan take a good look at the room where she had not had time to rest.
This is a very spacious suite with a living room and a bedroom. The living room is connected to the balcony, and looking out you can see the emerald green lake view. There is a large bed in the bedroom that looks soft and comfortable.
She rolled over on the bed unwillingly, then packed her clothes, went to the equally spacious bathroom, and took a shower.
After another 20 minutes, several people came out of the room.
While wiping her hair, Wang Lulu asked Xiaodan what time the train was.
She glanced at her phone: "There are still three hours left, we can go over there."
"I'll be there a little later than you, so we can go to the high-speed rail station together at that time," said Wang Lulu.
"Why not just walk while strolling? It's still early, so we can have breakfast," Xue Mi glanced at the time and wisely changed her mind, "We can have lunch, too."
After all, it's already 11 o'clock in the morning.
The four people left the villa talking and laughing, but they didn't know that several college classmates who attended the class reunion yesterday were already chatting like crazy in the small group.
"I asked my friends about it, and those people yesterday turned out to be famous second-generations in City A! For example, that so-and-so, his family not only runs a bar, but also a chain of five-star hotels. There's another XX, whose father is the famous XXX!"
"Not really. Yesterday, these people were quite arrogant at first, but they apologized to us later. They don't seem like the arrogant rich second generation."
"My friend is also a second-generation rich man. Of course, he is not at the same level as these people, but he still has no problem recognizing people."
"By the way, there's Pei Xinrou, the one who kept talking to Xue Mi. Isn't she the daughter of Zuo Jun's company boss? @左左, you should know her, right?"
Zuoyouzuo is Zuo Jun’s online name in the group.
"Then how did Xue Mi get to know these people? It seems that they all give her face. Could it be that she is actually a hidden rich second generation in our class?"
"That's impossible. When I was in school, I felt that her family wasn't well off. She worked outside all day long. Even if a rich second-generation pretends to be poor, she's not really poor!"
"Didn't she have the nickname Cinderella at that time? Maybe her family is really rich, but she also has a vicious stepmother?"
"Even if he's a rich second-generation, so what? It has nothing to do with us. The rich second-generation in the next class even paid for the class reunion."
"Why don't you go talk to the classmates and ask Xue Mi to advance the money to us?" someone immediately started to make a fuss.
"Tsk, do you think I'm stupid? How could I possibly say such embarrassing words?"
The small group chat was lively and after chatting for a long time, Zuo Jun finally popped up and asked in confusion: "What happened yesterday? What happened?"
After listening to the chatter in the group, he finally realized that after he rushed out angrily yesterday, the others not only met that group of rich second-generations again, but they even went up to the second floor and hung out with that group of rich second-generations who usually looked down on others, and drank all night!
And because of that wife who always stirs up trouble and ruins things, I actually missed such a rare opportunity of a lifetime!
He felt like his scalp was about to explode.
Zuo Jun left the bar in a huff yesterday, and later regretted it a little, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to go back.
Gao Yujia rushed back home early. Later, the two met at home and had another quarrel, which lasted until late at night before they ended up sleeping in separate rooms.
The next morning, Gao Yujia's anger finally subsided a little, and he thought about making breakfast himself in the morning as a way of making peace.
But unexpectedly, when she just took the food out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, she saw Zuo Jun coming out of the room with a stern face. He glared at her fiercely and slammed the door and left.
Gao Yujia: This bastard, does he really not want to live anymore? !
With a backhand, she flipped the noodles that had just been made and were still steaming, and they fell to the ground.
No, we can’t let this bastard fulfill his wish. After getting angry, Gao Yujia became even more ruthless and swore to make Zuo Jun’s entire family in unrest!
Over there, Zuo Jun ran out of his house angrily and walked around the garden of the community. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
He was really blind at the beginning, and he let go of such a good partner like Xue Mi and chose this woman now. If Gao Yujia hadn't interfered, he would have been able to show off in front of the young lady last night. If he could be remembered by others, his career would definitely be smoother.
Now it’s all over!
He seemed to have forgotten that Xue Mi didn't like him at all back then, and he thought that as long as he worked hard, he could win her heart.
But it’s not too late now - Zuo Jun thought again, after all, they are old classmates, so if he keeps in touch with them more, maybe Xue Mi can help him get in touch with the eldest lady?
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He quickly opened the address book and wanted to chat with Xue Mi to pave the way.
But unexpectedly, people had deleted him long ago, and she was not even in the class reunion group. This time, it was Zhang Xuan who helped with the registration and payment.
Zuo Jun: ...
He went to add Zhang Xuan again, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, no one paid any attention to him.
All in all, if Gao Yujia hadn't lost her temper and been angry with him, this wouldn't have been necessary!
A battle between husband and wife is about to break out again at any time.
Xue Mi and the others had no idea that they had inadvertently become the fuse of a conflict between a couple. At this time, they were still eating a big meal and chatting happily.
Unfortunately, happiness always passes quickly and the time of separation comes again.
The girls hugged each other and looked reluctant to leave. They agreed to meet again next time, then waved their hands and sent the other two to the station.
"Ah, the time is really too short!" Zhang Xuan sighed, "It's still okay now, but in a few years when everyone is busy, it will be even harder to have the chance to meet."
Xue Mi put her arm around her shoulders and said, "No matter what, as long as we think of each other, there will always be a chance to meet again."
Especially for a rich woman like her, since she has money and time, the worst that can happen is that she can just fly to the other city to visit these old classmates!
It just so happens that she has also ordered a private jet, which might come in handy when the time comes.
"It's a deal then. You'll pick us up on your private jet and take us on vacation to your island!" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up when she heard that Xue Mi had actually bought a private jet. "By the way, you must arrange a few more handsome guys on the island. I want to experience the feeling of being hugged by two handsome guys!"
Xue Mi laughed: "Okay, I promise to arrange all the most handsome ones for you when the time comes!"
The two of them covered their faces and burst into laughter again. People around them looked at them strangely, thinking that the two girls seemed a little crazy.
"By the way, are you okay? Please accompany me back to school." Xue Mi pulled Zhang Xuan.
"What? Didn't you go back the day before yesterday?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"It was too late that day and we didn't see anything. Let's go back and visit our old class teacher and take a tour of the school at the same time," said Xue Mi.
The school is still the same as before. The boulevard is quiet. Some students are walking slowly in groups of three or four, while others are riding bicycles or even roller skates, passing by the roadside briskly.
Although it was the weekend, the library was still crowded. Unfortunately, their student cards had been handed in long ago and they could not get in. They could only look at the high-ceilinged hall from afar and miss the time when they had studied hard there.
There are also teaching buildings, some of which have been renovated, some are still in the same shabby appearance as they were back then, and there is one that should have been newly built in the past two years, and it looks particularly majestic.
However, the most nostalgic building is probably the cafeteria.
There are three canteens in the school, each with its own signature dishes. Of course, there are also those canteens that are said to be the worst to go to, because the food tastes terrible, and because the uncles and aunts who serve the food have such shaky hands that they can drop half a spoonful with just one shake.
The two of them walked around the Swan Lake again, passed a fountain square that had never seen water spraying before, and arrived at the dormitory where they used to live.
The dormitory was still in a mess, with long clothes, shorts, socks and towels all hung messily on the balcony, fully enjoying the sunlight.
Some people were standing at the window reading aloud, some were calling their friends, some were playing games to the climax, and there were young couples in love, sticking together at the dormitory door, unwilling to separate.
Just by seeing this scene, the two felt as if they were back in college.
Even the unique smell of the dormitory makes people miss it from the bottom of their hearts.
Xue Mi took a deep breath, and accidentally smelled the smell of stinky socks.
She covered her nose, held back her laughter, and ran away with Zhang Xuan. They ran for a long distance before stopping beside a flower bed and laughing again.
It’s really exactly the same as before!
Hearing that Xue Mi and Zhang Xuan had arrived, the counselor took the time to take them to the cafeteria for a meal.
It’s not that they insisted on asking the counselor to pay, but mainly because they don’t accept cash and only pay with campus cards.
Naturally, the two people ordered their favorite dishes from that year. The taste seemed to have changed slightly, and there seemed to be more flavors worth savoring.
The counselor looked at the two people who were eating the cafeteria food with such care and couldn't help but laugh: "You are also in City A, so come back anytime if you want to eat. I'll treat you."
Xue Mi smiled shyly: "That's so embarrassing..."
Although he said this, his actions did not show any embarrassment. He ate the food in a few mouthfuls, just like a hungry tiger. Then he stared at a small fresh milk stall next to him. The double skin milk sold there was simply amazing. Ordinary shops could not produce such a pure and milky taste.
The counselor sighed helplessly: "That's enough, alright, alright, whatever else do you want to eat today, I'll let you eat as much as you want!"
The two shameless guys smiled a silly and triumphant smile at the same time.
While eating, Xue Mi asked with concern: "Teacher, how is your recent paper going?"
My boss will graduate with a Ph.D. next year, so I have stopped my counselor job this year and will focus fully on the lab, trying to produce a qualified doctoral thesis and not delay my graduation.
When this was mentioned, the teacher, who was smiling gently, immediately became worried: "Don't mention it. It's hard to describe. I just can't get the curve I want."
"No problem, we should be able to get the ideal data soon," Xue Mi said casually, and stuffed another mouthful of double-skin milk into her mouth. "I heard that your laboratory is short of funds recently. Is it true?"
"It's always happened," the counselor said helplessly. "My supervisor is very capable in scientific research, but unfortunately, getting funding has always been his weakness. If it weren't for this, he should have been promoted to professor a long time ago. But even if he was promoted to professor, he would probably still worry about this - or even more."
Sure enough, even the gentlest counselor was not polite when complaining about the boss.
The two girls laughed again and almost choked on their food accidentally.
"Counselor, I want to donate to your laboratory. I wonder if you can help me make some connections." Xue Mi said again.
"That's great news!" The counselor laughed. "Did you really make a fortune in business? You can even donate to the school. That really makes me proud."
Xue Mi wiped her mouth and said, "Of course, we can't let you treat us for nothing."
"If you are willing to donate to our laboratory, I would like to thank you on behalf of my supervisor." According to the counselor, it would be great if Xue Mi could donate a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, but in this kind of situation, even a small amount is worth it, it is always a thoughtful gesture.
Xue Mi said: "I am going to donate three sums this time. One is for your laboratory, one is for a new teaching building for our school, and the other is for setting up a scholarship."
counselor:? ? ?
She asked carefully: "How much are you... going to donate? You have made so much money in the past two years?"
It wouldn't cost much to donate to a laboratory or set up scholarships, but donating a new teaching building... was that the way she was thinking of donating?
It seems that this class has only graduated for less than three years, not 30 years. How could Xue Mi become rich so quickly?
"It's not my money, it's my mother's," Xue Mi said with a subtle smile, "I want to set up a special donation foundation, using my mother's name, called the Yaqiu Foundation. I plan to take out 50 million as the first donation."
The counselor was originally holding a bottle of soda, with a straw in his mouth, listening to Xue Mi curiously.
But when she heard the number 50 million, she couldn't help but spit out the soda in her mouth and coughed for a long time.
Five... fifty million? Is this just the first transaction? !
If this money really comes in, it may become the largest donation the school has received this year. Even if only 1/10 of it ends up in their laboratory, the supervisor will go crazy!
Zhang Xuan was also concentrating on eating double skin milk when she heard Xue Mi talking about donating money. She didn't react at first, but when she heard the number, she couldn't help but bite the plastic spoon until it broke.
Well, the rich woman still behaves like a classic rich woman. She will not stop until she has made others dizzy with money.
Zhang Xuan silently took out her cell phone and wanted to complain to the other two people.
As a result, I accidentally saw a friend request in the group. It was from Zuo Jun, who had just gone crazy at the class reunion last night.
The other party tentatively asked about Xue Mi's situation and wanted Zhang Xuan to give him Xue Mi's business card.
After all, Zhang Xuan was a veteran who had worked in public institutions for several years. He saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, sneered, and deleted the friend request without hesitation.
Maybe if I said the name Zuo Jun, Xue Mi would be stunned again and ask who this person is.
There was no need for the rich woman to waste time on such an insignificant person, and she didn't need to ask this question.
On the other side, the atmosphere of shock continued.
The counselor finally sat up straight and looked serious: "Are you sure you are serious? This is not something you can joke about."
"I can write a check anytime now," Xue Mi smiled. "Old classmate, aren't you trying to get a chance to stay in school recently? If you can accomplish this, won't your chances of staying in school be much greater?"
That's for sure.
Although those engaged in scientific research are not as snobbish as those in the financial industry and do not simply focus on money, there is still a big difference between those who can find funding and those who cannot.
Especially for people like counselors, who are on the verge of being able to stay or not, if they can suddenly help the school to get a large sum of donations, it is very likely that they will stay.
But... "How do you know that I'm trying to get a chance to stay in school recently?" the counselor asked curiously.
"For people like you who are engaged in purely basic disciplines, the best way out is definitely to stay in school. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so short of funds so often." Xue Mi smiled.
The reason why she donated money to the school and the laboratory where her counselor worked was not for the sake of return - it is almost impossible to monetize such a basic scientific research project on a large scale.
The reason why Xue Mi came over to give money today was, firstly, that she really wanted to give back to the school. The second reason was that when she was talking to the counselor yesterday, she accidentally peeked at the predicament of the counselor's laboratory.
Those who engage in basic scientific research find it difficult to monetize their results even if they produce any, so they are the least noticed people in the scientific research community.
However, if we want to promote technological progress and human development, the most important thing is actually breakthroughs in basic science.
In recent years, the relevant national funding has indeed increased a lot, but there are more people than resources. Especially for some funds, if you want to get them, you must rely on personal connections and master-apprentice inheritance. It just so happens that the counselors' mentors have obvious shortcomings in this area and often cannot compete with others.
No wonder people have been complaining about being poor for several years but there has been no improvement.
If Xue Mi had not intervened, this laboratory would probably have to endure a few more years of hard work until the supervisor finally secured a major national project, and then it would have soared to new heights and entered a period of explosive growth in results.
At that time, because the counselor failed to get a place to stay in school, he went to a foreign institution as an assistant researcher. When his domestic mentor finally became wealthy and wanted to recall this disciple whom he admired very much back then, the counselor was hit in the forehead by a stray bullet from nowhere on the way to the airport and passed away regretfully.
In such a hasty and chaotic way, he ended his short life.
But this time, with Xue Mi's intervention, everything was obviously completely different.
Laoban’s doctoral dissertation will soon produce good results. As long as there is sufficient funding and she continues to dig deeper, she will most likely get a very good impact factor. In Phantom, the reason why her original supervisor wanted to call Laoban back was because he wanted to cooperate with her and continue to study this topic in depth.
This time, with sufficient funding, perhaps this kind of cooperation can start earlier, and the old class teacher can take this opportunity to stay smoothly, without having to go back to the old path.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so good.
Xue Mi happily pulled her teacher's sleeve, shouting that she was not full and wanted to have another cup of milk tea from the stall.
Zhang Xuan also started to make trouble for the teacher.
Although the taste of the milk tea in this milk tea shop is average and the pearls are sometimes not even fully cooked, but when I wander around the campus without a cup of such milk tea in my hand, I always feel like something is missing.
The counselor was so annoyed by her that she said, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you right away, okay? Really, aren't you afraid of being too full?"
Xue Mi and Zhang Xuan were grinning, and they stood on the left and right of the instructor, holding their arms tightly, and walked arrogantly to the milk tea shop with very ordinary decoration and even more ordinary taste. They ordered a cup of the original pearl milk tea that they used to drink most often, chewed the slightly hard tapioca pearls, and grinned like two fools.
After finally eating and drinking, the counselor contacted his tutor first.
After all, this is a big event, and my laboratory can get special donations, so I must be one step ahead. I can't wait until the last minute and then join in foolishly, otherwise I can only get the leftovers.
At first, when the tutor received the call from his student, he thought it was a joke.
That’s 50 million, not 5,000 yuan!
Who would be so casual as to come up and directly ask to donate such a large sum of money?
At least we should ask the media to follow up on the report, and find a few school leaders to witness it, so that we can make it look good before we talk about donations, right?
But now, he just picked a student and then found it on himself. What's going on?
Although he was completely confused, the extremely poor instructor couldn't resist the temptation and asked a student to stare at the running data and rush over eagerly.
After rushing over, he felt even more that his students were joking with him.
The two girls, who looked to be in their 20s at most, each holding a cup of milk tea, were laughing and joking with their students, just like two childish kids, without any aura of being rich.
The instructor shook his head and said to his student helplessly: "This kind of thing is not a joke. The experiment I am working on is at a critical moment. If it fails, I will deduct your funding!"
In a laboratory full of deductions and searches, the three words "deduction of funds" are definitely the most deadly killer.
The counselor was also worried. He looked helplessly at Xue Mi who was still chewing pearls, and gently pushed her: "It's her. A student from my previous class came to me today and told me that she was going to set up a donation fund for our school and also make a targeted donation to our laboratory."
As for the specific amount of donation, she didn't have time to ask, because the two guys were still arguing about whether the pearls were boiled thoroughly or not.
They are really two guys who have no temper at all!
Xue Mi jumped over and shook hands with the instructor who looked suspicious. "Hello, teacher. My name is Xue Mi. I have attended your class before, but I'm sure you don't have any impression of me."
Wow! From her old class teacher, she saw a story full of regrets, but from this mentor who looked poor and wore an old peeling jacket, she saw a future full of hope!
The scientific research results continued to burst out, which had a huge impact on related industries and even won the world's most famous scientific award. The middle-aged old man in front of him, who looked unremarkable and had a bitter face, turned out to be the most powerful boss Xue Mi had met so far.
His research may not produce any immediate benefits, but it has made a significant contribution to the entire human race.
However, Xue Mi also realized that the most important achievement of this middle-aged old man was actually derived from his old teacher's doctoral thesis.
When the old man won the award, he even made a special speech to thank his student. Unfortunately, by then, the old teacher had already been buried in a public cemetery abroad, and he never had the chance to see this scene again.
But this time, maybe the old teacher will also have a chance to stand on the podium?
Although she was just an absolute outsider and whether she won the award or not had nothing to do with Xue Mi, she still couldn't help but shiver heavily, her face full of excitement and anticipation.
If that day really comes, she will definitely charter a plane, pay for all the food and accommodation, and bring a bunch of students from her class to watch the award ceremony of her teacher. She will definitely do what she says!
Xue Mi held the old man's hand even harder and more enthusiastically: "Teacher, this time I am going to donate 20 million yuan directly to your laboratory. The only condition is that my counselor can stay in school and continue to do experiments with you."
She said it so bluntly that the old man was a little overwhelmed, but, 20 million, that’s 20 million!
The total research funding he received last year was only about 5 million yuan. This amount alone is enough to cover his funding for four years.
The old man couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum, but because he still had doubts, he stumbled and didn't know what to say.
However, if there really is such a large donation, he can naturally expand the scale of the laboratory. At that time, it will not be difficult to retain another doctoral student as an assistant researcher. It is just a matter of reporting to the department.
As if she had sensed the old man's suspicion and uneasiness, Xue Mi made another phone call and directly called the accounting firm's team, saying that she was only responsible for paying the money and the specific coordination matters had to be left to professionals.
Although he didn't quite trust the little girl who was holding a cup of milk tea and smiling foolishly, when he saw the little girl directly shaking over a group of people in suits and leather shoes, who were obviously subordinates of elites, the old man's suspicion was finally reduced by half.
As for the remaining half, he can only feel at ease after the funds are in place.
However... the old man still felt a sense of magic when he saw his students coaxing the two little girls like they were children.
The counselor himself actually found it quite magical.
She couldn't even explain how she had such great charm and was able to attract such a large donation.
During those four years, she did have a pretty good relationship with everyone in her class, especially Xue Mi and her roommates, because they were so active, so naturally they interacted with each other more often.
But...his charm isn't so great that he'd ask a student to spend 20 million to help him stay in school, right?
That's 20 million yuan, there's nothing wrong with that money. Why would you help a college counselor for no reason?
"It's not for no reason," Xue Mi corrected the teacher's mistake very seriously, "Do you still remember that I was accused of cheating? If you hadn't insisted on helping me get to the bottom of it, I might have been punished. Not only would I not get the scholarship, I might not even be able to graduate successfully."
That was when I was a freshman.
At that time, Xue Mi had just entered university and was devoted to working to earn money. She had a somewhat cold personality and was not particularly familiar with the people in her dormitory, let alone other people in her class.
As a result, during the final exam of the first semester of her freshman year, a small ball of paper was found at her feet. The content on the paper was obviously used for cheating.
At that time, the invigilator insisted that it was the paper ball thrown by Xue Mi, and was ready to give her 0 points in the exam and criticize her through a notice.
Later, the teacher who taught her class hurried over, said some nice words, investigated, and carefully checked the surveillance footage several times, before finally proving Xue Mi's innocence and helping her keep her score on the exam.
At that time, in addition to the class teacher, three other people in the dormitory also stepped forward to not only guarantee that Xue Mi would never be the kind of person who cheats, but also helped compare handwriting to find the culprit of the cheating.
It was after that time that Xue Mi gradually opened up her heart and her relationships with her roommates became better and better.
As for the help from her teacher, she kept it firmly in her heart and has never forgotten it for many years.
She has money now, and as long as she can help her teacher, what does a mere 20 million mean?
Besides, she not only repaid the help given by her teacher, but also made important contributions to the development of human scientific progress. The money was well spent!
The intention of this large donation soon alerted the school leaders.
Although the biggest piece of fruit was accidentally given to the stubborn old man Liu, the remaining 30 million is still not a small amount of money.
Besides, this is just the first donation. There will be many opportunities in the future.
Facing the little girl who donated money, the school leaders' attitude was much calmer than that of old man Liu.
He’s just a rich second-generation guy. It’s not like I haven’t seen him before.
It's just that most of these people donate money just to get an admission quota. Generally speaking, this kind of thing is not allowed in the country. However, if the amount is large enough and they don't care about the degree, it can be negotiated.
But this is the first time they have encountered a rich second-generation person who has graduated from their school. He was low-key and unknown when he was in school, but suddenly donated a large sum of money a few years later.
We successfully reached a donation agreement with the Yaqiu Foundation. In addition to the 20 million yuan targeted donation, the remaining 25 million yuan will be donated to build the Yaqiu Building, and the remaining 5 million yuan will be used to establish a special Yaqiu Scholarship to reward female students with outstanding performance.
As for the invisible additional condition, it was to allow Zhang Ziyu, the donor's former college counselor, to stay in school and become an assistant researcher in the laboratory.
Even the school leaders had to admire that this student really dotes on his teacher!
If this matter gets out, who knows how many counselors will be enraged. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to meet such a generous and generous tycoon.
All the conditions were agreed upon one by one, and the money gradually arrived. The school leader in charge of the negotiation finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the donor whether he was willing to become an honorary director of the school.
Xue Mi thought about it seriously for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation, and asked seriously: "If I become a school director, can you give me a campus card? So that I can go to the library often and order food in several cafeterias."
School leaders: …
This is such a simple wish. Why hesitate? Just fulfill it!
So on that day, Xue Mi, who had graduated many years ago, finally got the campus card she had longed for, and became an outsider who could enter and leave the campus and the cafeteria at will. This honor was much more important in Xue Mi's heart than any honorary school director.
Hearing that Xue Mi actually received such treatment, Zhang Xuan, who had been calm about her donation, couldn't help but tear up.
“Did you donate just for this card?” She beat her chest and stamped her feet. “Ahhh, there is such a good thing! It’s a pity that I don’t have money, otherwise I would have gotten one anyway.”
Xue Mi smiled and handed the card to Zhang Xuan directly: "I don't spend much time in City A anyway, so you can use it if you want. When I come over, we can go out to eat and hang out in the library together. How refreshing."
Holding this card is like having a permanent pass to her college days. As long as she holds the campus card and walks on the boulevard, she feels as if she will always be that young college student.
Even your mentality can stay forever in that bright time.
This donation is really the best gift she has received, besides changing her old teacher's fate.
After finishing the donation matter, Xue Mi’s next step is to go to a shipyard in the south to order a yacht.
Yachts are different from private jets. If airplanes are mainly for the convenience of travel, while also taking into account luxury and comfort, the main purpose of yachts, especially luxury yachts, is for enjoyment.
Compared with aircraft that look more high-tech, the cost of this thing has no upper limit, and you can pile on as many luxurious facilities and high-end enjoyment items as you want.
After all, a real luxury yacht can be regarded as an independent luxury kingdom on the sea.
In addition to its high cost, the maintenance cost of this thing is also much more expensive than that of a private jet.
