Chapter 234 My Wife, I Am Proud of You
Lin Shanshan shook her head and said, "I will cover the prize money for this award. As you can see, the profits from the three-day Canton Fair for robotic vacuum cleaners are enough to fund the Spark Technology Award for five years."
"If you really want to donate money, then you can use the Spark School Charity Foundation to help build schools in remote areas that don't have primary or secondary schools. What do you think?"
“Good, this is good. When I was a child, there was no school in the village. I had to go to the town to go to school every day, which took more than five hours round trip,” an old professor recalled.
Back then, conditions were tough. When shoes wore out, there wasn't enough money to buy new ones, so people had to walk barefoot, their feet covered in blisters.
Now that Principal Lin has made such a good suggestion, he is more than willing.
Once you've been caught in the rain, you really want to hold an umbrella for someone else.
The other professors, including Meng Zhengyang and Yang Qiwen, all agreed wholeheartedly.
Having achieved her goal, Lin Shanshan nodded and said, "Okay, then this matter will be left to Assistant Teacher Li Duomei. However, we can't donate it all. Earning money through one's knowledge is something to be proud of."
After hearing what Lin Shanshan said, everyone put aside their intention to donate all of their money, but decided to donate at least half.
Half of that number would amount to 500,000, which, based on prices in the 1970s, would be enough to build many schools.
After distributing the professors' bonuses, Lin Shanshan went to find Zhang Wei. As soon as Yang Qiwen saw Lin Shanshan, he started telling her all about the Canton Fair.
Zhang Wei deserves much credit for securing so many orders and generating such high profits.
We must express our sincere gratitude.
Just as Gu Yiye finished get off work, Lin Shanshan decided to invite Zhang Wei and Li Duomei to a state-run restaurant to eat and talk.
The military factory has completed one drone, but the military does not have anyone who knows how to operate it.
These days, Gu Yiye trains at the military base during the day and returns to school at night to learn computer operation from his professor. Of course, the professor's overtime pay is separate.
Today was a rare day off, and Gu Yiye was in high spirits, so he and Zhang Wei drank and chatted happily.
After a few rounds of drinks, the food was cleared away. Lin Shanshan took out a 10,000 yuan check that she had prepared in advance, wrapped it in a red envelope, and said, "Zhang Wei, this first battle to sell the robot vacuum cleaner was a great success. You deserve a lot of credit. This is a small token of our school's appreciation."
After saying that, he handed the red envelope to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei had been drinking and spoke without thinking: "Sister-in-law, you're looking down on me. I was just there to keep my boyfriend company and we chatted a bit. How could I possibly take this money?"
Upon hearing this, Li Duomei whispered, "Awei, you've had too much to drink."
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "No, I wasn't drunk. The old platoon leader and I fought side by side. The bond we share can't be measured in money."
Whether it was the effect of the alcohol or the memories of his arduous years in the army, Zhang Wei suddenly burst into tears as he spoke!
A grown man actually cried in public, in front of his girlfriend Li Duomei, Gu Yiye, and Lin Shanshan!
Lin Shanshan was both amused and exasperated. She was moved by the camaraderie between Zhang Wei and Gu Yiye and realized that she had indeed been rash and hadn't thought things through. She should have talked to her husband before coming.
She was about to apologize when Gu Yiye grabbed her small hand and placed it on his thigh to comfort her.
Gu Yiye remained silent until Zhang Wei finished venting his emotions before saying, "Your sister-in-law is showing you kindness by doing you a favor, and you're acting all aggrieved? What kind of man are you?"
Regardless of who is right or wrong, a good husband must stand by his wife's side.
Besides, Lin Shanshan did nothing wrong. Even close brothers keep clear accounts. Zhang Wei felt that he had a good relationship with Gu Yiye and that he didn't want money after helping him, which was also understandable.
