Ning He glanced at Ye Rong, and deliberately remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Brother Rong, it's not that I don't want to give you money, it's that I really have no money."
"Where's your money?" Ye Rong asked excitedly.
As soon as he asked the question, he realized something was wrong because he saw a hint of evasion in Ning He's eyes.
Ye Rong softened his tone and explained, "Ningning, I'm not being mean to you. I'm just afraid that you've been cheated. Tell Brother Rong where your money went."
It really seems like you are just kidding a child.
Ning He finally told Ye Rong after Ye Rong coaxed her: "Brother Rong, this is what happened. My brother wants to open a school in our village, and I have invested all my money in the school."
"Invest in a school?" Ye Rong's expression changed constantly.
Seeing Ning He nod, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you invest in the school?"
"My brother said that there are many children in our village. If we build a school, the children in the village will not have to travel a long way to the county town to go to school. Moreover, my brother can be a teacher himself, which can save the cost of hiring a teacher. If we set up a cafeteria in the school, we can earn a lot of money by paying each student's tuition, textbooks and monthly lunch fees. Isn't this better than working as a laborer outside?"
Ye Rong is not so stupid. He doesn't believe he can earn so much.
Ning He said, "My brother said that college students are valuable now, so we will specifically look for college students to be teachers. Everyone will be willing to send their children to our school. After all, every parent hopes that their children can get into college when they grow up."
That's true. Ye Rong himself is a college student. Although he has no money, he can still be respected in Lucheng because of his status as a college student.
Ning He added, "My father told me that when the poverty alleviation policy is implemented, our Shili Village will be the first village in the entire county to be lifted out of poverty. Will we still need to worry about not being able to recruit students by then? I'm afraid that all the children in the entire county will flock to our school to study."
"Besides, my brother said that many adults in the village are working outside and definitely don't have time to help children with their homework. At that time, we can set up a daycare service, let the children finish their homework in school, and then send them home one by one after dinner. Wouldn't that be another way to make money?"
Apart from other things, Ning He's ability in making big promises is unmatched.
Well, after listening to Ning He’s analysis, Ye Rong felt itchy in his heart.
Ning He's father is the village chief, so what he says cannot be false.
This is a good opportunity. Instead of using the money to buy furniture, it would be better to use it to build a school. Wouldn’t there be a steady stream of money coming in then?
Ye Rong smiled and asked, "How much does it cost to build a school?"
Ning He thought for a moment and said, "It's estimated to cost one hundred thousand."
"What?" Ye Rong's eyes widened in disbelief. "One hundred thousand! There are not many people with an annual income of ten thousand yuan nowadays. How can you build a school for one hundred thousand? Where can you get so much money?"
Ning He smiled and said, "Brother Rong, my brother has raised 70,000 yuan, and only needs the last 30,000 yuan."
"Thirty thousand is not a small amount."
Ye Rong has been in Lucheng for so long, but he hasn't even saved up a thousand yuan.
Ning He sighed, looking somewhat dejected, "Isn't it? There are only 30,000 left. My parents have already taken out all their savings, but they just can't raise the money. My brother said that if it really doesn't work out, he will just quit being the principal. Whoever can pay the remaining 30,000 will get the lion's share."
Ye Rong felt excited after hearing this. With only 30,000 yuan, he could become the principal and control the entire school in his hands. This was simply pie in the sky!
But when Ye Rong thought of Ning Chen's gloomy face and the scrutiny in his eyes every time he looked at him.
How could someone like Ning Chen do such a thankless task?
"How could your brother, who is such a smart man, give up the entire school for 30,000 yuan?"
Finally, he got to the point, and Ning He raised the corners of his lips slightly in a smile.
"So my brother came to me. I gave all my money to my brother, but we still had a little money left. My brother wanted my child's father to borrow some money from his comrades. Then the school would be in my name. I would make the most money and my brother would make the less. We are all family, so he was naturally willing to do so."
So that's how it is.
Ye Rong nodded thoughtfully, and it made sense when he thought about it.
Although Ning Chen had some complaints about him, he was really good to his sister.
With Ning He's presence, everything becomes much easier.
Soon Ye Rong started to make a plan in his mind.
After thinking it through, he looked at the two big unity notes in Ning He's hand and said with determination, "Ning Ning, you should also invest these twenty dollars into the school."
Ning He shook her head and refused no matter what she said: "No, I promised Brother Arong before that I will pay for the furniture. I must keep my word!"
Oh, this little fool, Ye Rong was so anxious.
He quickly said, "Ningning, let's put the furniture thing off for now."
"Why?" Ning He frowned and asked in confusion.
Ye Rong simply said, "I thought about it and felt that your brother's idea was right. I can't afford a house in the city even if I work so hard in Lucheng for a few years. It's better to open a school and teach in the village. The house in the village is spacious and comfortable."
Ning He looked at Ye Rong in surprise and asked, "Brother Rong, what do you mean..."
Before Ning He could finish, Ye Rong said, "Ning Ning, I'll pay for the remaining 30,000 yuan. When the time comes, you can talk to your brother and let me take a share of the school."
Ning He hesitated for a few seconds and asked again: "Brother Arong, do you want to be the principal? My brother doesn't know about what happened between us, and I'm afraid he will have an opinion." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.
The tone sounded particularly afraid of Ning Chen.
Ye Rong was naturally afraid of Ning Chen, but he thought about the fact that in the future he would own a school, and even be the principal of the school.
Just thinking about it made him extremely excited.
Even if he had to borrow from others, he had to borrow 30,000 yuan!
"Ningning, I believe you have always been on Brother Arong's side, right?" Ye Rong stared at Ning He seriously.
Ning He noticed the greasiness in his eyes, and forced herself to suppress the urge to vomit, and nodded.
Ye Rong smiled and said, "I knew Ningning you still care about me."
Ning He pulled the corners of her lips and smiled: "Brother Rong, I can do whatever you want me to do."
With Ning He's words, Ye Rong finally felt at ease to tell Ning He about his plan.
"Ningning, don't tell your brother about this yet. Wait until I raise 30,000 yuan. I'll do it in your name. You sign the contract first, and then transfer it to me."
Ning He suppressed her nausea and put on an affectionate look on her face, her eyes crystal clear and moist.
"Brother Rong, thank you for always trusting me! Don't worry, I will keep everything that belongs to you safe for you."
As for the things that belonged to the original owner, I will do my best to get them back for her!
