Chapter 185 Types of Funding
Lin Jianyan sat in the car while David drove back. Suddenly, he thought of something and said to David, "David, don't go back yet. Go to town."
David responded and turned around to head towards town.
They soon arrived in the town, and Lin Jianyan found a newsstand and borrowed the phone there.
He should have called Qin Wu yesterday, but he forgot about it. Qin Wu must be worried now. I wonder if he is busy now?
Qin Wu was in a meeting when his pager rang. He frowned slightly, apologized to everyone, and walked out of the meeting room to answer the call.
"Hello, who is this?" Qin Wu's voice was interrupted because the meeting was interrupted, and there was a hint of unconscious seriousness in it.
Lin Jianyan's smiling voice came, "Who else is there?"
Qin Wu recognized that it was Lin Jianyan, and his tense nerves relaxed a little. He complained, "You little heartless person, you still knew to call me. I thought you had gone wild after you went out."
"I'm sorry, I should have called you yesterday, but then some things happened and I forgot about it. Are you worried?" Lin Jianyan's voice was filled with apology.
Qin Wu snorted unhappily, "How can you not be so anxious? I almost thought you didn't want me anymore."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, there won't be a next time, I swear."
Qin Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I don't mean to blame you. How is it? Did you have fun?"
"I'm so happy. The meal that Dalong's mother cooked yesterday was very delicious and had a very farm-like taste. The people in his family are also very nice..."
Lin Jianyan said a lot, and Qin Wu just listened quietly. His hand holding the receiver unconsciously relaxed, and his eyes became softer. It was as if he could see the fireworks-filled scenes described by Lin Jianyan through the receiver.
Qin Wu listened to Lin Jianyan's narration, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. "It sounds really good. Tell me in detail when you come back."
Lin Jianyan responded, spoke a few words to Qin Wu, and then hung up the phone.
Qin Wu returned to the conference room in a good mood, and his tone during the meeting was much softer. The nervous people in the conference room were a little confused, but they also felt relieved.
Thanks to the emergency call, otherwise they would have been so depressed that they wouldn't dare to breathe.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianyan felt relieved and went back to Zhaojiazhuang with David.
Time passed quickly, and three days went by. When Lin Jianyan was wondering why Principal Zhou had not spoken yet, he saw him riding a bicycle that afternoon, with Zhao Fengjuan following him.
Not only him, but also the leaders above him were extremely surprised and took it seriously after Principal Zhou reported the funding matter.
After all, it doesn't cost them money and can add to their performance, so of course they have to pay attention to this kind of thing.
So the person who came was not only Principal Zhou, but also a car following behind.
When they entered the village, it became even more lively. All the idle people in the village gathered around the Zhao family.
"Hey, what good luck did Guodong's family have? How come two cars came in the past few days, and both of them went to his house?"
"Who knows? Didn't the boss often eat at his house last time? Maybe the people in this car are going to visit the boss."
"That's what you said."
"Isn't that Principal Zhou? Is Juan'er sitting on the back of his bike? It looks like he's also going to Guodong's house. Is there anything wrong?"
"Come on, let's go and take a look."
When Mrs. Zhao heard the commotion outside, she quickly opened the door and walked out. She saw at a glance that their daughter Juan'er was brought back by Principal Zhou.
She hurried over and said, "Principal Zhou, what's going on? Did our Juan get into trouble?"
I watched several well-dressed people getting out of the car behind me, led by a middle-aged man with a serious expression and dressed like a leader. I became even more panicked.
Principal Zhou smiled and explained, "Don't be nervous, Aunt Zhao. It's a good thing. Classmate Zhao Fengjuan was just showing me the way. I came to your house to look for Boss Lin."
When Mrs. Zhao heard that Principal Zhou said it was good news, her tense nerves immediately relaxed and a smile appeared on her face: "Oh, you scared me. You are looking for Ah Yan. He is in the room. Please come in. Leaders, please come in too."
After welcoming the people in, Zhao's mother quickly closed the door, blocking everyone's sight.
Lin Jianyan heard the noise and came out, and happened to meet the people outside. Several people who had never seen Lin Jianyan were shocked when they saw him for the first time.
How could such a noble person exist in this small rural family?
The middle-aged man in the lead had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jinyan. He had heard about Lin Jinyan's appearance from Principal Zhou, but he thought it was a bit exaggerated at first. He didn't expect that he was such a successful young man.
Principal Zhou saw this and quickly introduced the two people, "Boss Lin, this is Director Wang from the County Education Bureau. He is here to discuss the issue of school subsidies with you."
"Director Wang, this is the Boss Lin I was talking about."
Director Wang came back to his senses and smiled as he extended his hand: "Comrade Lin, we have long heard of your great name. This time, your generous support for rural education is something that everyone in the bureau admires very much. We also hope that you can fully cooperate and make this good thing a success."
Lin Jianyan smiled and shook Deputy Director Wang's hand, saying humbly, "Director Wang, you are too polite. I just want to do my best to help."
Director Wang nodded, his eyes full of praise: "Comrade Lin is not only young and promising, but also cares about education. This sentiment is precious. We are here to discuss this funding with you."
Lin Jianyan leaned over and made a gesture of invitation: "Then let's talk in the house, please."
In the main room, Zhao Dalong and David saw this, stood up and left their seats for them, and naturally walked to stand behind Lin Jianyan.
Director Wang was slightly stunned when he saw the momentum of Zhao Dalong and David. Lin Jianyan smiled and explained: "They are my bodyguards, not outsiders."
Deputy Director Wang suddenly understood and nodded with a smile: "So that's how it is." But in his heart, he secretly had more guesses about Lin Jianyan's identity and background.
After everyone was seated, Director Wang got straight to the point: "Comrade Lin, I won't beat around the bush. Thank you again for your generosity. We promise that your donation will be used where it should be. But regarding the scholarship you mentioned, I would like to ask your opinion."
"Because we have temporarily divided the scholarships into two categories, scholarships for poor students and scholarships for top students."
Lin Jianyan nodded, "I know this. At first I said three places per grade. At first I thought they were all for the poor. But I thought about it. Most of the children in Principal Zhou's school are from the surrounding villages. They are not rich. If they are all for the poor, it would be too one-sided."
"so……?"
"So I decided to set up two scholarships for top students and one for poor students. No matter what, I still hope that the children can at least complete the nine years of compulsory education."
