Chapter 186 Everyone is Happy

When Director Wang heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, "Comrade Lin has considered it very carefully. The top students will work harder for the quota, and the poor students will also study hard to get the top scholarship quota."

Principal Zhou also nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, the children in our school are very sensible and hardworking, but the conditions are limited. With such arrangements made by Boss Lin, I believe the children will be more motivated to study."

Director Wang went on to say, "It's just that the evaluation criteria still need to be carefully considered. The evaluation of poor students must ensure that the truly needy children receive financial aid, and the number of honor students must ensure that no one cheats."

Lin Jianyan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the assessment of poor students can be done by the village and the school together, based on family income, actual difficulties, etc. As for excellent students, we can take comprehensive considerations such as academic performance and daily performance. Do you think this is feasible?"

Director Wang agreed: "It is feasible. We can formulate detailed evaluation criteria in the future to ensure that the scholarship can really play a role and live up to Comrade Lin's kindness."

"How much do you plan to set for this scholarship?"

Lin Jianyan hesitated. In his previous life, he had applied for a scholarship of only over a thousand dollars at university, so he certainly couldn't be given more than a thousand dollars now.

After thinking for a while, he said, "One hundred and fifty for the top students and one hundred and twenty for the poor students. One for each semester, divided into two semesters. What do you think?"

Seeing their suddenly stunned expressions, Lin Jianyan asked in confusion: "What? Is there something missing?"

Director Wang came back to his senses, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Comrade Lin, it's not a small amount. This amount is already very considerable in our area. After all, there are many rural children here, and their family conditions are generally average. It can be said to be a large sum of money."

Lin Jianyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, it's settled then. Principal Zhou, have you drafted the contract? You can sign it now. I'm leaving in two days. If you don't sign it now, it will be very troublesome later."

"It's ready, it's ready. This contract is for ten years. If Mr. Lin is still interested after ten years, we can continue to cooperate." Principal Zhou quickly took out the contract and handed over the pen.

Lin Jianyan looked at it carefully and felt that there were no loopholes, so he signed his name. After he signed his name, Director Wang took out a seal from his bag and stamped it on two copies, and then the task was completed.

With the important matter resolved, everyone felt relieved. Principal Zhou now had time to chat about some off-topic topics.

…

"I haven't asked Mr. Lin where he got his job yet? His accent doesn't sound like a local."

Lin Jianyan smiled and said, "I am indeed not a local. I just came back from Hong Kong. My wife came back to inspect the company, so I came back to take a look."

Director Wang and Principal Zhou were both a little surprised, "You are married?"

Lin Jinyan smiled and raised her hand, showing the ring on her finger, "Yes."

Director Wang smiled and joked, "I never thought that Comrade Lin would get married at such a young age. I'm sure your spouse is also an excellent person."

Lin Jianyan thought of Qin Wu, and his brows softened. "Indeed, he is better than me."

Director Wang and Principal Zhou started talking about their families, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After a while, the two young men next to Director Wang looked at the time, and one of them said, "It's getting late, sir. You have a meeting this afternoon. If you don't mind, let's sit together and take a photo first."

Lin Jianyan turned around and looked, "Taking a photo?"

Director Wang explained: "These are the recorders and reporters I hired. I'm sorry I didn't tell you at the beginning. As you know, there are many procedures I need to follow in my position."

"This is such a meaningful thing. We want to publicize it so that more people can pay attention to rural education and set an example for other places. Of course, if you don't want it reported, we won't make it public."

Lin Jianyan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Director Wang, you are too serious. I don't care. If it can be promoted and more children can benefit, it will be a good thing. Just don't promote yourself too much. The focus should still be on rural education and children."

Director Wang laughed and patted Lin Jianyan on the shoulder: "Comrade Lin is so high-minded! Don't worry, we will definitely grasp the scale. The press conference will focus on the role of funding in promoting education and guide more social forces to devote themselves to the cause of education."

Upon hearing this, the reporter stepped forward and politely said to Lin: "Mr. Lin, is it convenient for me to do a brief interview? I mainly want to understand your original intention of funding and your expectations for the future."

Lin Jianyan nodded in agreement: "Okay."

The reporter had a high EQ and did not ask any irrelevant questions. After a brief interview, Lin Jianyan sent them away.

In the next two days, Lin Jianyan was busy dealing with school matters. He watched the school issue a notice to use his donated money to buy tables, chairs, stationery and the like.

Many students were very excited when they saw the announcement of the scholarship, and many parents were no longer so keen on preventing their children from going to school.

Once the newspaper report of the interview came out, it caused another stir, and Director Wang's position became more secure because of it.

People who lived near Zhaojia Village and knew that Lin Jianyan was staying in Zhaojia Village visited him with some small gifts, such as fruits and vegetables grown at home. Although they were not worth much, they were a token of his appreciation.

The village chief's family was very busy. The village chief's face was almost broken by laughter. He also received praise from his superiors, although there was no real reward. But it was also a exposure. If there is any good thing in the future, their village can be in the spotlight.

Zhao Dalong has been busy these two days. He bought a lot of furniture and appliances for the family. The Zhao family has become famous in the surrounding villages. Everyone knows that there is a rich child in Zhao Guodong's family.

Ever since Zhao Dalong bought a color TV for his family, his home has become very lively. It's okay during the day, but after dinner at night, many people who have nothing to do come to visit him and watch TV.

Even though they didn't understand what was said, their eyes were full of envy and admiration, and they kept saying nice things to Zhao for free. These past few days, Zhao's parents and his two brothers and their wives were almost smiling to death, and they had never been so proud before.

"Oh, you said the TV is expensive or not, I don't know, my youngest son bought it for me."

"Yes, he also bought the bicycle. He felt sorry for his sister and nephews and nieces who were too tired to walk to school, so he insisted on buying them even though he was not allowed to. He spoiled them too much."

"You mean this scarf? It's cheap, just over two yuan, but he bought several of them and gave some to his two sisters-in-law. You say this kid is just wasting money."

This was a secret boasting voice coming from Father Zhao: "This is a good cigarette that Dalong bought in town, five yuan a box, it's small in size, not irritating and sweet, I'll light one for you to try."

Father Zhao carefully lit one, let everyone take a puff, and then took it away immediately after taking a longer puff.

He asked proudly, "How is it?"

Many old men smacked their lips in ecstasy, "Mmm! Delicious!"

“Not only is it fragrant, but it also has a sweet aftertaste that moistens the lungs.”

"Brother Guodong, I haven't tasted the flavor yet, let me take another sip."

Father Zhao immediately hid himself and said, "Why are you smoking? It's good enough if you try it. A box is so expensive that I can't bear to smoke it myself. If I want to smoke it, let your son buy it for you."

Everyone: “…”

It’s sour. I won’t come again.
