Looking at Xu Jiahao's reply, Gong Jinkang suddenly realized something.
Holy shit, is that how it is?!
At that time, I thought that our class teacher, Mr. Zhou, was simply too lazy to collect the class fees!
Thinking of this, Gong Jinkang couldn't help but feel moved.
Although Gong Jinkang's family is well-off, he doesn't care about the small amount of class fees.
However, put yourself in his shoes. If you, as a student, have a teacher who cares about you, loves you, and considers you in everything, would you be very touched and respect him?
The answer is naturally self-evident.
So, with respect for his class teacher, Mr. Zhou, Gong Jinkang immediately started discussing the matter with Xu Jiahao again.
Gong Jinkang: "What should I do? Actually, it's no problem for me to pay for it alone. I just asked my mother for 500 yuan. Now I have this 500 yuan, and I can contribute it at any time."
Xu Jiahao: "Get lost now, why are you being used to steal the spotlight?"
Gong Jinkang: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. So what do you think we should do? We can't let Teacher Zhou pay so much money alone, right?"
There was no response from Xu Jiahao on the other side of the screen. After a long while, a new message came.
Xu Jiahao: "Well, I have an idea. Typing is too troublesome! When we get to class later, we can discuss it face to face with the class leaders to see if it works."
Gong Jinkang: "Come on! Then, class monitor, go and notify them. We'll see you in class later!"
Xu Jiahao sent an 'ok' emoticon and did not reply again.
Gong Jinkang didn't care. He quickly got up from the bed, tidied himself up, picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go out.
"Dad, Mom! I'm back to school!" Gong Jinkang shouted into the kitchen with his schoolbag on his back.
"Okay!" Gong's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted to Gong Jinkang who was changing his shoes, "Remember to keep the money, don't drop it!"
"knew!"
...
...
Riding on his bike, Gong Jinkang rushed to school at lightning speed.
The temperature in Ruxu in December was already very low. When Gong Jinkang rode all the way to school, his face was already icy cold from the cold wind.
After pushing the car into the carport and locking it, Gong Jinkang took off his gloves and quickly covered his face with his hands.
"Hiss~"
The temperature of his hands warmed up his cold face, but the biting cold still made Gong Jinkang cry out softly.
Gong Jinkang climbed up to the fifth floor step by step and when he arrived at the familiar classroom, he found that many people had already arrived in the class.
Xu Jiahao, who was surrounded by several people, caught a glimpse of Gong Jinkang who had just entered the classroom. He quickly waved to Gong Jinkang, "Old Gong, here!"
Seeing that Xu Jiahao, the class monitor, had already started a discussion with the class leaders and some other people, Gong Jinkang quickly put his schoolbag back on the desk, then walked into the small circle and joined in.
"That's roughly what happened," Xu Jiahao repeated what Gong Jinkang had told him to the others. Everyone listened very carefully and nodded from time to time, expressing their approval of what Xu Jiahao said. "So, we asked everyone to come to the classroom early to discuss what we are going to do."
After Xu Jiahao's publicity, the general consensus now is that Teacher Zhou should not pay for it, but they should pay for it themselves.
Having been in Class 27 for such a long time, the students naturally know exactly what kind of person their head teacher is, and they also know exactly how their head teacher, Mr. Zhou, treats them.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Now think about it, the head teacher is so good to them, but they still ask the head teacher to pay for it. It is a bit too much, even if it is the head teacher's good intention.
However, although this is Teacher Zhou’s good intention, Teacher Zhou’s money did not come from the wind!
So don’t say that the money is for them, even if it is not, they are willing to pay it out.
The only key now is how to get the money.
Just as Xu Jiahao said, the family situations of the students in the class are different. Not all students come from very wealthy families like Xu Jiahao and Gong Jinkang. There are also many whose conditions are not so good, and there are even several who are particularly poor.
"So, I have an idea to share with you all, do you think it's feasible?" Xu Jiahao looked at everyone present and expressed his idea, "Let's do an anonymous donation. Make a box similar to the anonymous voting box, the kind that's not transparent!"
Xu Jiahao gestured as he spoke, "Then, let's find a time to explain these situations to everyone as soon as possible! Let's make it clear to everyone that the money for this event cannot be paid by the class teacher. We have to pay for it ourselves, so we have to organize this 'voluntary donation' activity in the class."
"As for the amount of donation, we have no limit on the amount! It doesn't matter if it's a few cents or a few hundred!"
"But there is only one requirement, which is that we adopt a completely anonymous method! When everyone donates money, in order to keep it confidential, the money is wrapped in paper and stuffed into the donation box, so that no one else can know the individual amount."
"When the specific amount is finally counted, for the sake of confidentiality and fairness, only I and a few others will do the counting. If the money is not enough, I will make up for it. If the money is enough, I will add a little more. It's not easy to hold an event, so let's do it well!"
"Everyone, do you think this is okay?"
In short, what Xu Jiahao did was to use secret ballot to collect donations in the class.
The benefit of doing this is that it allows students from poor families to feel a sense of participation, avoiding their inferiority complex such as "holding back the class", and also takes good care of their emotions.
If Xu Jiahao had not been worried that others would think that he had embezzled the money, he would have even intended to let only himself be in charge of counting the amount of money.
Everyone agreed with Xu Jiahao's idea, and some even felt that Xu Jiahao's approach was very thoughtful and could take good care of the emotions of those students from poor families.
only......
Gong Jinkang showed his dissatisfaction when facing Xu Jiahao's words, "Squad Leader, what do you mean by this? What do you mean you will make up for the lack of money when the time comes?"
Seeing Xu Jiahao looking at him, Gong Jinkang said indignantly, "Aren't we human beings?! Why should you be the only one to pay for this?! I protest, I want to pay for this together with you!"
Xu Jiahao's body trembled and he looked at Gong Jinkang in disbelief.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
However, after a few seconds of silence, everyone started to speak enthusiastically.
"Gong Jinkang is right! Why should you be the only one to pay for this? We have to pay too!"
"That's right, squad leader, don't even think about paying for this by yourself!"
"That's right, we are also part of the class. Why do you want to do it alone?!"

I was originally planning to take a leave today. There was no special situation. I just wanted to take a leave and not write.
But after thinking about it, I felt that asking for leave was not a good idea.
So I waste my time hesitating between taking leave and not taking leave.
At night, I tossed and turned in bed, and I felt restless even when playing with my phone.
So, I finally got up from the bed and chose to finish writing two chapters.
