030: Donors of the year
"A visitor is a guest. We can't chase him away if he wants to come. We can only cooperate with your mother to entertain him well."
Gu Jun was indeed very calm when he received Xu Yao's call.
On the phone, Xu Yao couldn't tell what Gu Jun was thinking.
In fact, Gu Jun really didn't care about meeting Shen Yan at the wedding banquet.
Gu Jun didn't want to be exposed unless he had no other choice, but since it involved Xu Yao's ex, Gu Jun had no choice but to take the risk of being exposed and confront Shen Yan head-on!
Before Gu Junren even arrived at the Wen family, he already felt very disgusted with Wen Yiyi.
Remarriage was a decision made by Wen Zhicheng and Lin Meixian. Wen Yiyi couldn't change her father's decision, so she took out all her anger on Xu Yao.
The last time he called, he humiliated Xu Yao and prevented her from announcing her relationship with the Wen family, fearing that Xu Yao would use the Wen family's background to establish her own persona and gain traffic.
This time it was even more outrageous, as they actually invited Xu Yao's ex-boyfriend to the wedding... Gu Jun also had an impression of the name "Wen Yiyi". He vaguely remembered that the other party was Xu Yao's mortal enemy in high school. Every time Xu Yao became famous, Wen Yiyi would make a bigger noise to attract other people's attention.
At that time, Gu Jun turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and only wanted to study. However, his classmates also liked to gossip, and after a while, they remembered the tit-for-tat between Wen Yiyi and Xu Yao.
Ten years ago, Wen Yiyi and Xu Yao were at loggerheads with each other, and Gu Jun could barely understand it, as teenage girls are inherently naive.
Ten years later, Wen Yiyi was still the same, and Gu Jun felt that she was seriously ill!
Gu Jun's calmness reassured Xu Yao. Xu Yao asked him if he was already discussing business with the college leaders. After receiving a positive answer, Xu Yao quickly hung up the phone: "You should take care of business first. I won't disturb you."
Gu Jun put away his phone. "Sorry, something urgent happened at home. Principal Tao, where were we just now?"
Principal Tao was not angry at all, and his face showed relief and pride throughout the whole process.
"Let's talk about the application requirements for the scholarship."
When Gu Jun was in high school, Principal Tao was already the vice principal. Ten years later, Principal Tao hasn't retired yet, but the "vice" in his title has been removed. Principal Tao liked Gu Jun very much when he was in school and was deeply impressed by him.
When they met again ten years later, Gu Jun came to donate money to the school on behalf of Huahu, and Principal Tao was very pleased.
The poor boy who once lived on the school's tuition waivers and scholarships did not enjoy himself after he became capable. Instead, he wanted to hold an umbrella for his younger classmates who were in the same situation.
Nothing could be more proof of the success of our schooling.
Gu Jun felt uncomfortable under Principal Tao's gaze. He explained for the umpteenth time, "The donation was the company's decision. I was just a representative sent by Huahu because the company felt I was more familiar with the school."
Principal Tao doesn't believe it.
"We're the first school Hua Hu donated money to in South City, right? The donation was Hua Hu's decision, and whoever it was donated to must have contributed to it, so don't deny it!"
Principal Tao's ideas were so straightforward that Gu Jun was a little overwhelmed.
After the two finished discussing business, Principal Tao asked about Gu Jun's life after he was admitted to university. Knowing that he had joined Huahu early on and would stay in Nancheng for the future, Principal Tao was particularly pleased: "Then you should come back to the school more often when you have time!"
Today's students receive too much information on the Internet. Principal Tao often feels that he is too old to keep up with the development of the times. Some naughty students simply don't listen to what the teacher says. Principal Tao wants to invite Gu Jun back to school to communicate closely with the students.
"Your homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, still has the manuscript of your graduation speech from ten years ago. Looking back at that speech in light of your current development, I think it's even more convincing."
Principal Tao made all the arrangements for Gu Jun very clear, and Gu Jun didn't even have the chance to refuse.
After waiting for Principal Tao to say he was tired and stopped to drink water, Gu Jun seized the opportunity to ask about the anonymous donation he received that year.
"Do you know who donated that money to me?"
Principal Tao shook his head. "Then really only your homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, knows. Hey, you didn't tell me you were coming back to school? Mr. Li's daughter gave birth, and he's out of town to see her!"
Gu Jun did receive the money from Teacher Li back then.
Teacher Li is a down-to-earth person. When the donor asked to remain anonymous, Teacher Li kept his mouth shut like a clam.
Teacher Li was unwilling to say it back then, and he may not say it now.
Gu Jun pointed at Principal Tao and asked him to think of a solution.
Principal Tao was defeated by Gu Jun's insistence. "Then I'll have someone look for it. Your teacher Li must have kept a written record of the large anonymous donation he helped to receive, otherwise he won't be able to explain it."
Gu Jun stood up and bowed to Principal Tao, "Thank you!"
Principal Tao asked someone to check the documents. Gu Jun and Principal Tao continued to chat in the office when suddenly someone knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
The person knocking on the door was the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and standing next to the director was a young woman dressed elegantly.
"This is Miss Jiang. She came to the school today to discuss sponsoring students. Miss Jiang is very financially capable and kind-hearted."
The director smiled and passed the message to Principal Tao.
Principal Tao was very surprised.
What’s going on today? Why are so many people coming to school to show their love?
However, it was impossible for Principal Tao to refuse the love that was delivered to his door. After receiving the director's hint, Principal Tao was very enthusiastic about Miss Jiang, "Miss Jiang, right? Please take a seat."
Jiang Mingjia sat next to Gu Jun. She didn't care about Gu Jun's ugly face at all, and started discussing the funding idea with Principal Tao.
Jiang Mingjia is willing to donate 500,000 yuan a year to help poor students. He doesn't care how many students the 500,000 yuan can support or how much money each student can get.
"I'm just responsible for paying the money."
Jiang Mingjia was just as the director hinted, financially capable and straightforward.
Principal Tao shook Jiang Mingjia's hand vigorously: "Miss Jiang is really kind-hearted!"
Jiang Mingjia turned to look at Gu Jun with a smile on her face and said modestly, "Actually, I never had such an idea before. It was all because of Gu Jun's influence. He cares about poor students, and I think I can learn from him."
Principal Tao realized it later and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Principal Tao's eyes wandered between Gu Jun and Jiang Mingjia. Just as he was about to tease Gu Jun, Gu Jun stood up indifferently.
"I know him, but we're not very close. Principal Tao, I've heard that many wealthy people these days engage in fundraising scams. They make grand promises of donations, but then delay the transfer of the funds. Be careful of these verbal promises. I think this kind of private funding should be accompanied by a formal agreement, like Huahu. What do you think?"
Principal Tao tasted something.
It’s not that there’s something going on between Gu Jun and Jiang Mingjia, but Jiang Mingjia is just too eager to do the job.
Principal Tao was also worried that Jiang Mingjia would treat the grant as an impulsive purchase, like shopping. Following Gu Jun's reminder, he confirmed with Jiang Mingjia, "Gu Jun just likes to joke around. Miss Jiang, please don't mind. I believe Miss Jiang is different from those rich people who only talk big."
Jiang Mingjia raised an eyebrow. "Of course the agreement must be signed. You're worried that I might change my mind at the last minute, and I'm also worried that the grant money will be misappropriated. It would be best if it was written down in black and white!"
Principal Tao smiled happily, "Okay, okay, thank you Miss Jiang for your understanding."
The more Principal Tao looked at Gu Jun, the more he liked him. Gu Jun not only came to the school to donate money himself, but also encouraged others to do good deeds.
When Principal Tao and Jiang Mingjia were discussing the details of the funding, the person who had gone to look for the files came back and handed Gu Jun a bag.
"The materials written by Teacher Li at that time also had the donor's confirmation signature at the end."
Gu Jun's hands were shaking when he took the paper bag.
He finally found the anonymous donor from that year.
Jiang Mingjia looked curious, and Gu Jun, wary, walked into the hallway to open the file bag. Teacher Li had written a simple explanation, recording the amount, source, and purpose of the donation.
At the end of the statement, there is Teacher Li’s signature and the name of the donor.
Gu Jun looked at the last name and was stunned.
