After being reprimanded, Director Zhang seemed to wake up from a dream. He was the kind of person who would make amends as soon as he realized his mistakes.
Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I did have too many prejudices against Ning Zheyuan.
There was no real conflict between the two.
We shouldn't have too many opinions about him.
"Okay, okay, thank you everyone."
Ning Zheyuan was momentarily confused by the enthusiasm of these people. What was going on?
If I remember correctly...
These people spend most of their time in school and have never left the ivory tower. Although they are all quite old, their mental age for interacting with society is almost zero.
This was already evident when Ning Zheyuan first came to Weiyang and made a request for funding.
As a sponsor, he should at least be treated as a VIP wherever he goes, and there have been instances where people have even asked him to be their godfather on the spot.
But when these old fogies from Weiyang made their request for funding, the look in their eyes wasn't one of flattery, but rather one of disdain.
It's like complaining that your money isn't clean.
Or perhaps it's because they dislike themselves...
To be honest, if it weren't for wanting to make the young master's last year of school life more comfortable, Ning Zheyuan wouldn't be so eager to give him money.
Especially after seeing the attitude of these people, Ning Zheyuan even considered turning around and leaving.
But there's nothing I can do...
Everything is for the young master!
"Seriously... Have these people eaten too much dog meat and gone mad? They weren't this aggressive last time I came here!"
Ning Zheyuan stroked his chin, his scrutinizing gaze filled with suspicion.
It's often said that when people get enthusiastic, they're bound to have ulterior motives.
Is Weiyang short of money again?
That shouldn't be the case...
The money I gave them last time to organize the university league was all from Ding Ge, so it should be more than enough.
Since it's a middle school, it shouldn't be like a money pit, right?
Ning Zheyuan was unsure of what to do. After thinking it over, he decided to wait and see. After all, he had come today to clean up the mess for the young master's girlfriend, and he needed to finish it as soon as possible.
As the large group of people walked in through the school gate, the school gate fell silent once again.
Just as I arrived at the vice principal's office, which had been prepared in advance, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
However, the office was quite close to the senior high school section, and the senior high school section was having tests today, so it was quiet and there was no noise at the end of class.
"Phew... As expected of Jiang City's No. 1 Middle School, the facilities along the way have been dazzling. With such excellent conditions, it's no wonder that your school has always been able to supply Jiang City with high-quality talents, hahaha."
Ning Zheyuan accepted the fragrant tea offered by the vice principal, took a sip, and, with the aroma filling the air, his eyes lit up slightly. He exclaimed, "Excellent tea!"
There were only three people in the office at that time.
Ning Zheyuan, the vice principal, and Director Zhang, who had received a signal from the vice principal to stay behind.
After all, they didn't know Ning Zheyuan's purpose in coming, and it would be much more convenient to have someone on hand who could handle things promptly.
"Mr. Ning, you flatter us. Without your generosity, Weiyang would probably not be what it is today."
The vice principal chuckled, poured a cup of tea for Director Zhang, and, under the latter's flattered gaze, put away the teapot and sat down opposite Ning Zheyuan.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Both were shrewd old men and naturally knew that even if there was a major emergency, they couldn't just bring it up right away.
Losing face.
After exchanging pleasantries, the vice principal leaned back on the sofa and took off his reading glasses. Director Zhang sensibly handed him a glasses cloth from the table beside him. The vice principal thanked him, gently wiped the lenses, and then asked casually, "I wonder... is Mr. Ning here just for a simple visit, or is there anything we can do to help?"
Are you here...?
Upon hearing this, Ning Zheyuan let out a long sigh of relief, quickly reviewed the words he had prepared on the way, and then looked at the two people in front of him and said indifferently, "Your school recently has a new student who transferred to your school. Her name is Jiang Yu. She is a poor student who transferred from Linchuan. Do you remember her?"
"Jiang Yu? Oh...yes, that little girl with a leg disability who can only use a wheelchair, right? I saw her on the day she enrolled. I heard her family is quite poor. Xiao Zhang, have you verified that?"
The vice principal was taken aback, and subconsciously thought of a certain possibility.
Part of the sponsorship brought by Ning Zheyuan was indeed distributed as student aid.
Could it be that...
Jiang Yu's status as a student from a poor family was fake, which Ning Zheyuan happened to discover, so he came here to confront her.
After all, no one wants to see their hard-earned money, after being donated, fail to reach those who truly need it.
The vice principal thought about it more and more and felt that this might be Ning Zheyuan's real purpose for coming here.
"This... has indeed been verified, and the situation is true."
Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, and guessed the vice principal's idea as well, and immediately felt overwhelmed.
Grandma's...
Although he had verified it, if Jiang Yu was the kind of person who would use the scholarship money to fool around, Ning Zheyuan might actually run into her.
It would be reasonable to then take the opportunity to propose cutting funding.
But this is such a humiliation for them.
When they were verifying the information, it was completely qualified. Their scholarships are meant to help students like this. They can't possibly send someone to secretly observe a person's character just to distribute scholarships, can they?
That's ridiculous...
Moreover, it involves disrespecting students' privacy. Once this accusation is leveled, it is far more serious than the student squandering the scholarship money, as it can easily affect their chances of getting into a good university.
"It's been verified? Then... there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
The vice principal appeared to be talking to himself, but was actually speaking to Ning Zheyuan. Noticing that Ning Zheyuan's expression had indeed changed, his heart sank, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Ning, are you here today to discuss the distribution of student grants?"
He was testing the waters.
"Huh? Ah... No, no, no, how you distribute the scholarships is your own business. I'm only responsible for paying the money; I don't interfere in that aspect."
Ning Zheyuan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the two had misunderstood. He quickly waved his hand with a smile, "How could I be so free? I have enough headaches with the Yan Yun Gang's affairs every day. I don't have time to get involved in the scholarship matter."
"You've misunderstood. The reason I'm here is because..."
"Our young master has fallen in love with Jiang Yu, so we've been taking her to get treatment recently, and her leg ailment has now been cured."
