There was warm applause at the scene that lasted for a long time.
When the applause finally died down, Zhang Huaizhi continued with a smile, "Today, besides being a ceremony for everyone, is also a good day for us at Huaqing."
"As we all know, the country is currently in a difficult phase of development and construction. For us, carrying out scientific research projects is a difficult problem among the problems, and the most pressing one is the issue of research funding."
"Today, we are honored to have Mr. Xiang Chaojing, the head of Gangcheng Xin'an Company, attend our graduation ceremony. Mr. Xiang Chaojing and Xin'an Company have donated three million yuan in research and development funds to Huaqing!"
"Let us welcome Mr. Xiang Chaojing to the stage to speak!"
As Zhang Huaizhi uttered his last words, there was a gasp from the audience.
A free donation of three million yuan?! For people whose average monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan, this is simply an astronomical figure!
What kind of company is so generous? Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking forward to Mr. Xiang's appearance.
Su Qingyun was also shocked, but what shocked her was not the astronomical figure of three million, but the name of the Sun On Company. Isn’t the Sun On Company in Hong Kong the "Sun Yee On"?
A Hong Kong community came to Beijing to donate money to Huaqing? Su Qingyun wanted to laugh for a moment.
But before she could laugh, her eyes widened again because she saw clearly the appearance of the middle-aged man who was slowly walking onto the stage.
The middle-aged man who came on stage was wearing a crescent-white gown with some delicate embroidery. Although he was middle-aged, he was still tall and handsome. He looked more like an old-fashioned teacher than a businessman.
Su Qingyun stared at him in astonishment. Wasn't this the Third Master from the Sun Yee On? Was he the Mr. Xiang who had donated money to Huaqing?
Xiang Chaojing stood on the stage, his eyes naturally scanning the entire audience, and finally fell on the people in the first row in front of him. He happened to meet Su Qingyun's eyes, and he was also stunned. He didn't expect to see this little girl here again. Are they too destined to meet?
He nodded slightly as a signal to Su Qingyun, and Su Qingyun smiled proudly in response. No matter what the reason was, he and the company behind him were able to donate scientific research funds to the school free of charge, which was already worthy of respect.
He shifted his gaze towards Chao Jing, looked at the students who were all curious, and spoke slowly.
"Hello everyone, I am Xiang Chaojing. I am from Hong Kong, but I used to be a Beijinger." He told his origins in the first sentence.
Everyone was a little surprised. This Mr. Xiang was actually from Beijing?
Su Qingyun thought more, as a Beijing native, he didn't know how much he had gone through to achieve such a status in a famous society in Hong Kong. Perhaps only he himself knew the difficulties involved.
"My childhood memories are a little fuzzy. I only remember that I was from Beijing. My parents died in the war, leaving me alone. I don't know how I ended up in Guangdong Province. Later, I took a boat to Hong Kong and settled there. But I have never forgotten that my roots are in the mainland, in Beijing."
"The name Xiang Chaojing was given to me by my adoptive father. He said that I came from the capital and would eventually return to this land, so he named me Xiang Chaojing, meaning that I would always be heading towards the capital."
Everyone in the audience was stunned, including Su Qingyun. It turned out that Mr. Xiang's name had such a profound meaning?
"I've been in Hong Kong for these years, achieving some success and building a family business. When I saw the country's reform and opening-up policy, I knew it was time for me to return. I should do something for the country, even if it's just within my ability. I thought about it for a long time and felt that nothing is more important than supporting our country's education."
"Now, I have come to Huaqing and met you all."
Xiang Chaojing smiled and said, "People who wander outside always look towards home. One day, they will come back. Today, I finally come back."
The distance between the first row was very close, and Su Qingyun clearly saw tears flashing in Xiang Chaojing's eyes. His eyes were full of attachment and longing.
At this moment, she truly felt the longing for her hometown as a wanderer away from home.
