Chapter 172 Bell Tower "I thought you didn't want to be alone with me."...
"It is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Deyin. I invested in Deyin only ten years ago. But Deyin is not only a project I invested in, but also my alma mater. My feelings for this place are no less than those of the outstanding students present here."
"My son, my niece, and many people in my family have spent a wonderful time at Deyin. Today, some of them came and some did not, but I believe that they are all tied to this school in their hearts."
"Today, I would like to use this 80 million to wish Deyin a long-lasting glory, a legacy that will continue from generation to generation, and a wealth of talented people."
Yu Jingmo took the huge check for 80 million yuan handed over by Assistant Xu and handed it to Principal Li.
The media came in, the flashes kept flashing, and the applause was thunderous.
School directors: “…” As a school director, how would you respond if someone took out 80 million on the spot?
On such an important day, if I don't give anything, I would be unworthy of my position as a school director. Moreover, there will be teachers, students and media reporters from other schools. How embarrassing it would be if I didn't give a penny and reported it.
Obviously they came here to gain face, but the school directors who suddenly lost tens of millions of dollars went on stage and forced themselves to smile, signed checks on the spot, and stamped their personal seals - no wonder Yu Jingmo informed them to bring their seals!
I thought there was some important document to sign, but it turned out there was a trap here.
What else can I do? I am spending money on my own anyway, and I should be able to earn it back by the end of the year.
Principal Li was worried about the high expenses of Deyin recently and couldn't find a chance to help the school directors. Now this is delivered. "Thank you all for your generosity and help."
Director Hu, with his burnt afro and sticking goatee, had a face darker than Wang Weiqi's. He smiled in a funny way: "Several school directors have donated generously. Students and teachers, applaud with tears in your eyes!"
Wang Weiqi clapped with tears in his eyes: "Finally I found someone who is darker than me."
Tian Ruan laughed and slipped away.
Wang Weiqi turned his head and said, "Brother...where are they?"
Tian Ruan received a WeChat message from Mao Qi, saying that the flowers had arrived, but he was worried and decided it would be better to go to the bell tower and arrange them himself.
A small truckload of flowers emptied five flower shops. The bodyguards were unloading the flowers. Mao Qi directed, "Be careful. These are all the love that the lady has for her husband."
Da Zhuang complained: "I walked 100,000 steps yesterday..."
Mao Qi said expressionlessly: "So you don't have to leave today, just stand there as a transit station for the flower pots."
Da Zhuang: “…” He is indeed the living devil!
This was what Tian Ruan saw when he arrived, and he said, "Everyone who helps me move the flowers today will get an extra 100 yuan bonus."
Da Zhuang immediately became excited: "I am the transfer station of the flower pots, I am a capable little helper!"
Tian Ruan nodded with satisfaction and took a quick look. Most of them were Asteraceae flowers, colorful and very beautiful. "Put the larger flowers at the bottom, and then go up in order, from large to small, and from dark to light colors. Put more chamomile, cornflowers, and baby's breath on top."
Mao Qi: "Okay, Madam, don't move, we will move it."
Tian Ruan said, "I want to participate in the decoration, so that it will be meaningful."
He first moved the baby's breath to the top and arranged them in an orderly manner. Although the newly painted white wall paint had dried, it still had a bit of smell, so he opened the window to ventilate.
The refreshing hot breeze of early summer blew into the clock tower, and the hands clicked and turned. In the distance, one could see the crowded crowds on the playground and the unrestrained singing and dancing on the stage under the bright and warm sunshine.
Cheerful dance music came from the radio. They were watching the play and were also characters in the play.
Tian Ruan immediately found the most distinctive figure among the ant-like crowd. He sparkled in his eyes like a teardrop in the ocean.
"Mr. Yu..." Tian Ruan murmured, feeling the surging love deep in her heart.
As if they had telepathic connection, Yu Jingmo suddenly raised his head and glanced towards the bell tower in the distant crowd.
Tian Ruan froze. Will Yu Jingmo see him?
Yes, it definitely will.
Just as Tian Ruan always sees him at first sight.
"Mr. Yu?" Assistant Xu was a person with mild myopia. Unlike Yu Jingmo who had a perfect vision of 5.1, he could not tell whether it was a person or a pigeon on the clock tower.
Yu Jingmo's lips curled up slightly, "If I was so lucky before, I would be a little jealous."
Assistant Xu: "?? Sorry, I may not be smart enough to understand what you are saying."
"It's normal that you don't understand. After all, Assistant Xu is not married, so he doesn't know what it feels like to be a married man."
"…………"Assistant Xu received 10,000 critical hits. Let alone getting married, he can't even be in a relationship!
Yu Jingmo turned around and saw Assistant Xu in tears. "What's wrong with you?"
Assistant Xu raised his head and sighed: "Please God, distinguish between loyalty and treachery! Give me a girlfriend!!"
Yu Jingmo walked away, "You can continue to daydream, but your job won't support your daydreams."
In order to keep his job, Assistant Xu followed in dejectedly.
After the opening ceremony of the school celebration, the party begins with lively performances, chatting, socializing, and playing. As long as it is not too out of the ordinary, you can do whatever you want.
The school directors had their own group, led by Principal Li, and visited the performances of the opera troupe, dance department, and music club. After arriving at the small hall, Yu Jingmo looked at the opera troupe on the stage dressed in medieval costumes and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Yu, the opera troupe's performance this time is much better than last time, right?" Principal Li asked with a smile.
Yu Jingmo asked back: "Last time?"
"It was last year, have you forgotten? And Tian Ruan..." Principal Li looked as if he could not bear to look back.
Yu Jingmo didn't ask any more questions, but just made a note of it and glanced at the video recorder, "Much better."
After leaving the small auditorium, Yu Jingmo said to Assistant Xu: "Give me the video of Tian Ruan's performance."
Assistant Xu was surprised: "Didn't I give it to you a long time ago?"
Yu Jingmo thought about it, and a girl's shadow flashed by in the blur, but her face was Tian Ruan. He shook his head, thinking it was an illusion, "Then I'll go back and look for it."
After more than two hours of decoration, the bell tower looked brand new. Streamers fluttered on the stair railings, balloons were arranged into the shape of hearts on the walls, flowers were spread all over every corner, and pink and white gauze curtains hung in the air amid the colorful atmosphere, creating a dreamlike feel.
The staircase was even covered with off-white carpet, sprinkled with rose petals and gold confetti, and swirled to another capital city...
"So beautiful." The burly bodyguards exclaimed.
Tian Ruan walked down from above, and suddenly felt a little afraid to walk, "Will it be a bit like heaven?"
"That must be the paradise of love."
"Okay." Tian Ruan clapped his hands, "That's it."
It was almost noon and time to eat. Tian Ruan locked the bell tower and went to the restaurant to find Lu Qiuyan - of course he wanted to find Yu Jingmo, but he had to keep a low profile and not let anyone see that they had a complicated relationship.
As a result, Lu Qiuyan was not found, but he saw Yu Jingmo who was about to go to the third floor.
Yu Jingmo paused.
Tian Ruan also paused, hesitating whether he should step forward.
Principal Li smiled and said, "Student Tian, do you want to have dinner with your brother-in-law?"
Tian Ruan didn't dare to look at Yu Jingmo, and declined politely: "Principal and board members, you guys eat, I'll just eat with my classmates."
Yu Jingmo suddenly said, "Principal Li, fellow school directors, please forgive me. I want to have dinner with my brother and son."
Principal Li smiled and said, "Well, I'll have a drink with you all."
The school directors had nothing to say. Without Yu Jingmo around, they actually felt more at ease.
After they entered the elevator and closed the door, Yu Jingmo walked towards another elevator and said to Tian Ruan, "There is a private room on the second floor."
Tian Ruan was very careful to avoid suspicion: "I'll wait for Yu Shang to go up together, just send me the location of the box."
"Um."
It was ten minutes later when Tian Ruan found Yu Shang. He hurriedly dragged Yu Shang and Lu Qiuyan to the second floor to eat.
There was no room left on the first floor, so Lu Qiuyan had no choice but to go to the second floor with a thick face.
The box was not big, just right for four people. The waiter served the signature steak and pasta.
While eating pasta, Lu Qiuyan asked Tian Ruan: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?"
Tian Ruan made up a story: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I went to sleep in a flower field."
"...Aren't you afraid of the bugs and ants on the ground?"
"I sprayed some floral water and it's okay." Tian Ruan did spray some floral water. At the end of June, mosquitoes had already started to come out to look for food.
Yu Jingmo still adhered to the principle of not talking while eating. During the meal, only Tian Ruan and Lu Qiuyan occasionally said a few words, and the father and son of the Yu family were like gourds with their mouths sawed off. Tian Ruan was just about to make a joke when his cell phone rang. It was a message from Yu Ti.
Yu Ti: Uncle, where are you? I'll play with you in the afternoon.
Tian Ruan: I’m busy in the afternoon and don’t have time.
Yu Ti: What are you busy with? These days, junior high and high schools are communicating with each other, but you haven’t come to play with me. I’m very disappointed!
Tian Ruan: I really have something to do this afternoon. I have to help the Student Union carry manure.
Yu Ti: ...You lied to me.
Tian Ruan: If you don’t believe me, ask Yu Shang.
This is collusion with Yu Shang: "Son, when Yu Ti asks you later, just say that I am busy carrying manure for the Student Union and I am not free this afternoon."
Yu Shang: "...We are eating."
Yu Jingmo looked at Tian Ruan quietly.
Tian Ruan: “…That’s the reason.”
Lu Qiuyan put down his chopsticks speechlessly.
As expected, Yu Ti called Yu Shang and said, "Brother, my uncle said he helped the student union carry manure this afternoon. Is that true?"
Yu Shang lied with difficulty: "Yes."
"Really?? Oh my god, brother, you are so brave. If my uncle accidentally falls into the septic tank and gets dirty and smelly, aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"
"My dad knows."
"…What did my uncle do wrong that you want to punish him like this? He's still a child!"
"He asked for it."
Yu Ti opened and closed his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Yu Shang hung up the phone, lost his appetite, and said, "I'm going to pick up manure... No, I'm busy."
Lu Qiuyan looked at him sympathetically.
Tian Ruan took out a small biscuit from his pocket and gave it to him, "Son, remember to eat it when you're hungry."
Yu Shang picked up the biscuit and stuffed it into Lu Qiuyan's pocket, "Dad, I'm leaving."
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
Lu Qiuyan and Yu Shang left together.
In the small box, only the couple were left staring at each other.
Tian Ruan couldn't help but jump for joy: "Mr. Yu, finally it's just the two of us."
Yu Jingmo said indifferently: "I thought you didn't want to be alone with me."
"No way? I was being low-key. I couldn't let anyone find out that I'm not your brother-in-law."
“Why can’t we find it?”
"Mr. Yu, I want to be an ordinary high school student."
"I don't think you're ordinary at all. No high school student would start talking about picking up manure."
“…”
Yu Jingmo looked at the young man's stuck appearance and stopped teasing him. He took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, what are you going to do now?"
Tian Ruan thought of something important and asked eagerly, "Mr. Yu, are you free now? I have something for you."
Yu Jingmo curled up the corners of his lips: "I have plenty of time, you are welcome to steal my time."
