Shi Heng looked at the night view outside the window. "I'll have to tell her sooner or later anyway, so why not take this opportunity? Let Nian Nian come up with the name for the library building herself, and it will be called 'Heng Nian Building'."
"Okay, what about the media..." Sim paused.
"Don't reveal it yet, let the reporters dig up the news themselves."
Shi Heng specifically instructed, "Emphasize the point of 'the mysterious rich man's hidden identity'."
Hang up the phone.
Shi Heng opened the file bag on the table and took out Su Niannian's high school graduation photo.
In the corner of the photo, Su Niannian stood at the edge with her head down, looking so lonely.
Shi Heng touched the photo distressedly and said, "I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
…
The next morning, it was just dawn.
A group of people had already gathered at the gate of Mingde High School.
Chen Ming, with dark circles under his eyes, said to the students who had arrived one after another, "Have you checked everything out? I stayed up all night last night, looking through all the information."
He pulled out his phone and, with trembling fingers, clicked on the financial news. "Look at this. The latest financial report of the Shi Group. The legal representative is Shi Heng."
"I checked the Forbes rankings."
Zhang Li interrupted, her voice trembling, "Shi Heng's personal assets rank tenth."
Lin Yan clutched her newly bought brand-name bag tightly, her nails almost digging into the leather. "That bakery owner... is actually..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Chen Ming interrupted hastily, "The most important thing now is how to make amends. Wang Lei, have you deleted all your Moments?"
Wang Lei nodded, sweating profusely. "I deleted it, I deleted it. Even the Weibo post from three years ago that bad-mouthed Su Niannian was deleted..."
Li Mei suddenly screamed, "It's over! A month ago, I was sharing photos of her struggling to raise a child in the class group, saying, 'This is what happens when you get pregnant before marriage'..."
Everyone's faces turned pale and they hurriedly started deleting the chat history.
A boy suddenly looked sad and said, "I borrowed 500 yuan from Su Niannian five years ago and haven't paid it back..."
At this moment, the school gate opened wide and the principal walked out quickly with the leadership team.
Security guards began to set up cordons and school workers were busy rolling out the red carpet.
"Quick! Get in position!"
Chen Ming was directing a battle, "Remember, be natural, be friendly, and remind her of our 'classmate friendship'!"
Lin Yan suddenly grabbed him and said, "Wait, should we prepare gifts?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Chen Ming slapped his forehead and said, "Wang Lei, hurry up and go to the nearby flower shop to buy some flowers..."
Everyone was in chaos.
Li Mei suddenly said quietly, "You guys think... could Su Niannian have known what we said behind our backs a long time ago..."
This sentence made everyone freeze in place.
In the morning breeze, more than twenty "old classmates" looked at each other, each of their faces filled with fear and calculation.
Just then, a black Maybach slowly drove over, and Shi Heng and Su Niannian got out.
This group of "old classmates" immediately swarmed over.
"Niannian! Do you remember me? I was your deskmate in the second year of high school!" A heavily made-up girl screamed.
"Niannian, I'm Zhang Li! We participated in a recitation competition together!" Another girl squeezed forward desperately.
Chen Ming even rushed to the front, smiling broadly, "Niannian! Mr. Shi! This way, please!"
As he said this, he was about to shake Shi Heng's hand.
A tall figure suddenly stood in the middle.
"Please keep your distance," Sim said coldly.
Six bodyguards in black stood behind him.
Chen Ming withdrew his hand awkwardly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. "I, I'm Nian Nian's old classmate... We had dinner together last night..."
Lin Yan's eyes turned red with jealousy from behind, and she whispered, "Why are you pretending..."
But she secretly hid the newly bought bag behind her back.
Compared with Shi Heng's status, her bag looks like a street stall item.
The other students also had different expressions.
Some people regretted their harshness last night, while others were thinking about how to build relationships.
Some people have already searched on their phones for “how to please the rich”…
"Why are there so many people?"
Su Niannian looked at the scene in front of her and asked in confusion.
Shi Heng smiled without saying anything, and just helped her straighten her collar.
The principal came over with a group of teachers.
"Ms. Su! Mr. Shi! Welcome, welcome! Thank you so much for your donation!"
"Donation?"
Su Niannian looked confused.
The principal shook her hand warmly. "The foundation stone for the library and teaching building donated by President Shi was laid this morning! The media are waiting in the auditorium!"
Surrounded by the crowd, the two walked into the auditorium, which was already full of students and reporters.
The principal took the stage and announced, "Now, please welcome Mr. Shi Heng, President of Shi Group and this donor, to give a speech!"
"What?"
Su Niannian looked at Shi Heng in surprise, "You are... the president of Shi Group?"
Shi Heng gently squeezed her hand and said, "I'll explain it to you later."
After saying this, he walked onto the stage calmly.
"Hello, students."
Shi Heng's voice spread throughout the auditorium through the microphone.
"Before becoming the CEO of Shi's, I was a top student at Wharton Business School. After being on the Forbes list, I am now a baker."
There was good-natured laughter from the audience.
“Today I want to tell you.”
Shi Heng's eyes swept across the last row. "True value doesn't lie in appearance. Just like the library we donated, what matters is how many students it can help, not how much it is worth."
At this time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Shi, can you share your learning methods?"
"certainly."
Shi Heng answered patiently, "I'm used to breaking down big goals into small ones..."
