"Another person I want to thank is a girl named Chu Suhe. I am very grateful to her for pulling me out of the darkness. Without Class Monitor Chu, there would be no Xia Ruoming today, so this 100,000 yuan should belong to her. I know Susu is shy and will refuse to accept it if I ask her to come today. I ask the school or the leaders to give it to her on my behalf!"
Her words drew countless applause and exclamations from the audience. She was so successful but she was grateful. Moreover, she spent 300,000 yuan in this trip without blinking an eye. The demeanor of the top scholar was truly admirable.
"The third thing I want to thank is our school. I know our school is not very rich. Compared to our long-time competitor Jiaxiang High School, it can be considered poor."
"There are many poor students in our school, such as Su Su, who I mentioned earlier. She only ate pickles and steamed buns all year round, which led to hypoglycemia and malnutrition. She scored 668 points in the exam this year, but if I hadn't found her in time on the day she fainted, she might not have been able to take the college entrance examination due to the sequelae, and the country might have lost a talent because of this."
"I know that there are still many poor students in our school. It is poverty that prevents them from getting better education and better health."
"So, I decided that I would only accept the 80,000 yuan prize money. Next, I will take out one million yuan of my own money and donate it together with the 500,000 yuan prize money to the school, totaling one and a half million yuan. This money will be used to help poor students in our school! I hope you will study for the rise of China!"
As Xia Ruoming said this, she handed the sign of the 500,000 yuan bonus to the old principal who was sitting in the leadership seat. The old principal also stroked his beard and laughed.
The audience went from applause to complete silence, with some people even secretly wiping away tears.
Xia Ruoming's family is not wealthy, but she still said that she would take out 1.5 million yuan, including her own bonus, to help poor students. She said it in front of many media outlets. She is not the kind of person who only talks empty words.
Some people may think that she is just seeking fame and reputation, but she is really doing practical things.
Although, this amount of money is really just a small amount for her...
After a brief silence, there was thunderous applause from both the leadership seats and the press seats below the stage.
Flash lights kept flashing around her. The old principal also walked over to Xia Ruoming with a cane and held up the sign that said 500,000 yuan in bonus.
After an impassioned speech, the old principal assured that all the money would be used to aid poor students. In the future, the school cafeteria will also open a window for poor students to ensure that every student can get the best educational conditions!
Many leaders gathered around again, clapping and taking photos.
Only Liu Ruoxue looked confused. She didn't know where Xia Ruoming got so much money, but she knew her daughter too well. Since her daughter said it, there was no way she couldn't do it.
If this was the result of her daughter's careful consideration, she would never ask any more questions.
Finally, the picture is frozen in one photo after another...
The reporters in the audience can figure out what the headlines should be with just their toes.
The top scorer donated 1.5 million yuan on the spot to give back to his alma mater. What a shocking thing!
After the news came out in newspapers and various self-media, there was an uproar everywhere.
Whenever Liu Ruoxue goes out to buy groceries, she will be chased and questioned. Although she felt very proud at first, she is a bit annoyed now. She can only use the supermarket's vegetable delivery service and is too lazy to go out.
Only Xia Jingsong enjoyed wandering around and repeating his famous scenes over and over again.
"Hey, Lao Xia, how are you today?"
"What? How do you know that my daughter got the top score in the country with 742 points?"
“…”
As time went by, no one bothered Xia Jingsong anymore.
At the same time, Xia Ruoming was having a small gathering with Chu Suhe and three other people in Luo Qingxuan's shop.
"Senior, congratulations on becoming the top scorer. I haven't even formally congratulated you yet." Luo Qingxuan, who was wearing a floral skirt, sat next to Xia Ruoming, holding up a coffee cup and gently clinked the cups with everyone.
"Ruoming... I'll return this money to you..." Chu Suhe timidly pushed a bank card over. This card was used to pay her tuition. When the school called her to ask for her bank card number, she didn't know what happened. It was only after seeing the news that she knew that Xia Ruoming had transferred a huge sum of 100,000 yuan to her. Although she often owed Xia Ruoming a favor, this gift was really too expensive...
"Take it, Susu." Since when, Xia Ruoming also got used to calling Chu Suhe in He Ya's way.
"Yes, Susu, Ruomeng is so kind, so just accept it. She said that without you, she wouldn't have been able to pass the imperial examination. This is her way of thanking you. You also have a share of the top prize." He Ya echoed from the side.
"No...no...this amount of money is too much...I can't accept it..." Chu Suhe stuttered and was about to put the bank card directly into Xia Ruoming's hand.
"Susu, you've already said that you want to go to Zhejiang University with me, but Susu, you can't afford the tuition."
When Chu Suhe heard this, he immediately lowered his head.
"So, consider this money as a loan from me to Susu, and Susu can use it to pay tuition. I also plan to do something at Zhejiang University, and Susu can work for me, and use part of her salary to pay back the money. How about that?" Xia Ruoming said as she gently stroked the back of her hand.
After hearing this, Chu Suhe silently put away the bank card.
Not to mention that she and Xia Ruoming are not formal girlfriends, even if they are, she would not use so much of Xia Ruoming's money for nothing.
