Chapter 157 Chapter 157 1st update
Afternoon, Capital University Auditorium.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the auditorium, their attention was attracted by the banner hanging at the door: Mr. Su Jingnian's donation ceremony and lecture.
"Is Mr. Su Jingnian coming here in person? Didn't they say that the inspection team has already gone to Shenzhen?" Yuan Lan asked curiously.
"Could it be that the school specially invited him back to quell the rumors?" Wu Yanan glanced at Feng Manni, who had a cold expression on her face, and whispered, "After all, the rumors in the school recently are really not good."
In fact, Yuan Lan joked that Su Jingnian might have fallen in love with Lin Yiqing. It was not her own nonsense, but there was actually such a rumor in the school.
Why do the returning rich men spend so much money? Of course, it is to make beautiful women smile or something.
Lin Yiqing has been quite high-profile recently. Although she has never directly said in public that Su Jingnian's donation of the library had anything to do with her, she has hinted many times in her words and deeds that this matter was related to her.
At first, the public opinion was that the reception work must have been done well, and it allowed the returned overseas Chinese businessmen to see the style of Capital University students. But later, no one knew when it started, but rumors like "playing tricks on the princes" emerged.
Because of this, Lin Yiqing had a big fight with Feng Manni, believing that it must be Feng Manni who was spreading rumors maliciously.
In fact, Wu Yanan had encountered this once. People from other dormitories asked Feng Manni if this happened. Feng Manni said she didn't know at the time.
Although they were in the same dormitory, Lin Yiqing had a very average relationship with Guan Qianqian except for her slightly better relationship with other people. She didn't pay much attention to others, and other people really didn't know much about her affairs.
Of course, if you asked other people in the dormitory, everyone might help to refute the question out of roommate friendship. But if you asked Feng Manni, who had the worst relationship with Lin Yiqing, it was expected that Feng Manni would say she didn't know.
You can't expect Feng Manni to help Lin Yiqing defend herself.
But after the gossipers spread the story, they changed the story and said that Lin Yiqing's roommates did not deny it. This made the rumor spread even more.
Wu Yanan tried to explain for Feng Manni, but in return Lin Yiqing said, "You are all birds of a feather."
The atmosphere in the dormitory dropped to freezing point.
In the past two days, Lin Yiqing basically ignored anyone in the dormitory except Guan Qianqian.
Shen Moer didn’t know that things had turned out like this until noon. She was silent for a few seconds and said, “Everything will be clear after the meeting in the afternoon.”
Yuan Lan: "That's right. The school obviously invited him back to clarify the matter. Mr. Su still has a speech to give. I want to hear what Mr. Su has to say about whether the moon in the United States is really rounder than ours."
Chen Moer laughed and said, "Let's be materialistic. The moon exists objectively. Whether it's round or not, it's still the same moon."
Several people entered the venue and found their seats in the Political Economics Class.
Lin Yiqing and Guan Qianqian had arrived a long time ago. Lin Yiqing, contrary to her usual behavior, was chatting and laughing with the classmates around her. When she saw Shen Moer and the others, she glanced coldly and looked away.
Shen Moer asked the others to sit in the middle first. At this moment, the counselor Zhong Xuewen came hurriedly over: "Shen Moer, your seat is in the front."
Zhong Xuewen looked at Shen Moer with a complicated expression.
He never imagined that the source of all the commotion in school recently was actually Shen Moer.
How can this person be so calm?
Acting as if it's none of his business.
Oh, if it weren’t for today’s donation ceremony, this matter really didn’t seem to affect her.
It’s really strange, how could this person not reveal any information at all? After all, he is the counselor of their class.
I haven't seen Lin Yiqing, a student who is usually very low-key and noble, but she seems to be a little bit arrogant recently.
But it turned out that was not the case at all.
Zhong Xuewen couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, and looked at Lin Yiqing with some sympathy. This girl really put him in a dilemma.
"Hurry up, follow me."
Zhong Xuewen retracted his gaze and urged.
Shen Moer responded and followed calmly.
Leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What's going on? Where did Lao Zhong arrange for Student Shen to go? Ouch, he's going to the front row!"
"Is this the treatment for the squad leader?"
Yuan Lan suddenly jumped up: "No, you are confused, I am the monitor of the Political Economy Class 1 now, it's me!"
The man immediately reacted and laughed, "Sorry, sorry, isn't it because Class Leader Shen deserves the title so well? I always have the illusion that she is still the class leader."
Yuan Lan suddenly became even angrier: "What the hell do you mean? Do you mean that I don't deserve the title?!" She raised her sandbag-sized fist.
The man immediately held his head and begged for mercy: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. You deserve the title, and no one deserves it more than you!"
The others burst into laughter.
Lei Zheng laughed and said, "Well, that must be because our Director Shen has a different status. I heard from the people at the school's machinery factory that Director Shen got a batch of equipment for her garment factory, which the Capital Fifth Garment Factory couldn't get."
Shen Moer couldn't manage her time, so she ended her part-time internship early. The others were still working at the Capital University Machinery Factory, especially Lei Zheng and Jingui, who got along well with the old masters in the machinery factory and learned the skill of rubbing parts from them.
Shen Moli was the last one to get the equipment contract, so other units and factories didn't know about it at first. Later, the news gradually spread, and later, almost all state-owned factories, big and small, in the capital heard about it.
There was no way out. The equipment that the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory failed to acquire was finally acquired by Huacai Garment Factory, a foreign social enterprise. This was so surprising that anyone who heard about it would have to talk about it to the people around them.
There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.
"Our Director Shen is awesome!"
"That's right. Our Director Shen is not only awesome, but also very low-key. If the people from the machinery factory hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about him."
"Our Director Shen is indeed a man who can do great things!"
Amidst the praises, no one noticed that Lin Yiqing's face gradually became gloomy.
Chen Moer followed Zhong Xuewen all the way to the front row. Zhong Xuewen complained as he walked: "Student Chen Moer, can you let me know in advance about important things in the future? Tell me, I'm your counselor, but I don't know anything. It's hard for me to do this!"
Shen Moer admitted her mistake with a smile, saying that she was indeed inconsiderate this time. She thought the matter had little to do with her, so she did not report it to the counselor. She would definitely correct her mistake in the future and report to the counselor as soon as possible.
Zhong Xuewen: “…”
Don’t think that I will believe you just because you honestly admit your mistakes. It’s you who actively admits your mistakes and refuses to change.
never mind.
Zhong Xuewen took Shen Moli to the first row and asked her to sit at a seat near the edge of the first row. He then turned around and moved to a seat a little further back.
Shen Moer greeted the teacher next to her with a smile. Sitting on her left was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair on his temples and an elegant temperament. Shen Moer looked at him and always felt that he seemed somewhat familiar.
The middle-aged man smiled gently and said, "Student Shen Moer, I have heard of your name for a long time!"
Shen Moer was surprised and said, "You are joking. I may be a little famous in the Economics Department, but I should be just a nobody in other departments, right?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I am Xu Bowen, the dean of the Department of Physics. Your wife Fu Mingze is my student. She is a well-known model of loving wife in our department. I don't know about other departments, but Student Shen is very famous in our department."
Shen Moer finally realized why she felt that the other person looked familiar. She must have seen Director Xu from afar when she occasionally went to the Physics Department.
"Director Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now."
Xu Bowen shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. You're not a classmate of our physics department. Is it strange that you don't know me?"
Changing the subject, he suddenly asked, "I heard that Mr. Su who is coming today is your uncle?"
Shen Moer didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and nodded in response: "Yes, he and my mother have been separated for decades, and it was only by chance that he was recognized this time."
Xu Bowen nodded: "It's really a coincidence. It's not easy for you to meet each other in such a vast sea of people and tens of millions of compatriots. I also heard that he originally wanted to inject capital into your factory, but later chose to donate to our school to build a library. What a sincere heart of an elder!"
Shen Moer smiled: “Uncle also wants to do something for China.”
Xu Bowen clapped his hands and said, "Indeed, all the overseas Chinese and Hong Kong businessmen who have returned to China in the past two years have a sincere desire to serve their country."
After a brief pause, he continued, "I just wonder if your uncle has any idea of sponsoring a domestic laboratory?"
Shen Moer: “…”
Finally, she understood why Director Xu talked so much to her. Could it be that he wanted to raise sponsorship funds for their physics department's laboratory?
In fact, Shen Moer had also heard from Fu Mingze that the funds allocated by the state to Capital University were already relatively large among all universities, but China was weak in foundation after all, and funds were limited. Capital University only received slightly more than other universities, and the school was still stretched to the limit.
Especially for those in the engineering field, the experimental funds are never enough, forcing a gentle person like Xu Bowen to ask for funds everywhere.
Xu Bowen was famous for asking for funds everywhere. Shen Moer hadn't thought of it just now, but as soon as he opened his mouth, she immediately remembered it.
Suddenly I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But thinking back, Shen Moer actually admired Xu Bowen very much. You know, Chinese people have always been more reserved, especially intellectuals. They value the integrity of not accepting food given out of pity and not bowing for a few pieces of silver. It is actually very rare that Xu Bowen can do this for the department's funding.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my uncle for you. If that doesn't work, I can ask other overseas Chinese businessmen for you. But I can't guarantee whether I can get the funding."
Isn't there Cui Jianzhong? He sold a batch of equipment to her. It shouldn't be too much to use some of the money he earned to sponsor China's education, right?
Shen Moer was thinking about how to intercept part of the payment for the goods.
Su Jingnian told her privately that Cui Jianzhong was not short of money, but he had a strange temper. If she wanted him to spend money, she had to please him.
Xu Bowen said cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay. Just hearing your words is enough. It's just that Fu Mingze is a fool, otherwise there's nothing wrong with him being his nephew-in-law."
Shen Moer: “…”
Well, it seems that Director Xu has already contacted Fu Mingze.
