Just as Li Xu and his team were making intensive preparations, big news broke out from Wuhan University in the distance.
The names and construction costs of the Li Mei Library and Li Ju Science Museum were revealed.
When donating these two buildings, Li Xu hoped that the president of Wuhan University would keep the names of the buildings secret for at least half a year before revealing them. He really did what he said and announced them to the public as soon as the time came, without even waiting a single day.
The donation of 10 million US dollars made the entire school teachers and students dizzy.
The most dizzy ones among them were several younger members of the Li family who were studying at Wuhan University and Li Ju's fiancé Li Haitao.
Even if others don’t know the names Li Mei and Li Ju, how could they not know them?
If you said that only one name appeared, they might have thought it was a coincidence, but now that two names appeared at the same time, if they still thought it was a coincidence, they would be fools.
At noon that day, in a corner of the Wuhan University cafeteria.
Li Haitao, Li Hongtao, Li Botao, Li Wenzhe, as well as Li Ping's daughter Li Ruike who had just started school, and Li Xu's youngest son Li Shaoyuan, the six of them sat together and talked about this matter in a low voice.
Li Hongtao said with a pained look on his face, "Ten million US dollars? How can you donate such a large sum of money just like that? How much money do we have at home?"
"Who are you asking?" Li Botao asked back, "Among our generation, you're the oldest besides my eldest brother. How can we know something you don't know?"
"Don't tell me, Sister Ke might know."
Hearing Li Shaoyuan's words, everyone looked at Li Ruike.
"Don't look at me, I really don't know." Li Ruike said quickly.
"That's impossible." Li Shaoyuan asked in confusion, "You live in the same room with my mother, aunt, and aunt. When they were talking, didn't you hear a single word?"
"Do you think they can discuss how much money the family has in front of me?"
Now it was confirmed that she really didn't know, and the other younger generations of the Li family sighed.
At this time, Li Haitao couldn't help but ask, "How come your family has so much money? Don't Brother Ping and his family help others manage their business? Besides, why do you think this money is donated by your family and not to Brother Xiang?"
When he went home for the Chinese New Year last year, his old father told him his guess about Li Ju's family's financial situation. His first reaction was to disbelieve it.
In his opinion, Li Ju's family might have some money, but it was impossible for them to have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars as his old father said.
Even when his old father later told him everything he knew, he still didn't believe it.
He was originally wondering whether this huge sum of money was donated by Xu Xiangqian, but the people in front of him all agreed that the money was donated by their own family.
This really made him confused and he didn't know why they had such an idea.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent instantly. Li Hongtao and the others stared at each other, and no one said a word.
Seeing them like this, Li Haitao became even more confused, "Why aren't you talking?"
Li Wenze quickly said to Li Hongtao, "Second brother, you are the boss here, you should answer Uncle Hai's questions."
"Yes, you answer." The others quickly echoed.
Li Hongtao glared fiercely at the brothers and sisters of this group of treacherous brothers, then thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Uncle Hai, it's hard for us to talk about this matter. You should ask my aunt."
Li Haitao was stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly had an extremely terrifying idea.
What the old father said might be true, but it was just too conservative.
Li Ju's family's assets are more than hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and saying it is 1 billion is probably an understatement.
After a moment of silence, Li Haitao hummed softly, then he picked up a piece of vegetable from the plate in front of him with trembling hands, put it into his mouth, and kept chewing.
Seeing this, the others stopped talking about this topic, exchanged glances with each other, and continued eating in silence.
After dinner, Li Haitao returned to his dormitory, while the others went to a secluded corner.
Li Wenze asked first, "What do you think Uncle Hai would do if he knew the true situation of our family?"
"Your question is really unnecessary. We don't even know the real situation at home, so how can we guess his reaction?"
"That's right. Instead of wasting your time guessing about this, you might as well think about what you're going to do in the future."
"That's quite true."
Li Wenzhe's face was bitter. He knew what they were talking about. "What else can we do? We can only fight back and deny it."
Li Ju is a well-known figure in Wuhan University, and many former students know her.
People who don't know her just don't know her name. If you ask them if they know the beautiful girl who is surrounded by several nephews every day, they will definitely say they know.
Now that the huge donation has come to light, those who know Li Ju will definitely ask Li Hongtao and others on campus.
If people determine that this Li Ju is that Li Ju, then Li Hongtao and his friends will be in trouble.
Don't think that college students these days are all gifted and will treat money as dirt.
In fact, there are only a few people who can reach this level, and the majority of people value fame and fortune.
Some people would rack their brains to scheme for a place to study abroad. If they knew that the Li family was so rich, they would stay up all night thinking of ways to scheme against Li Hongtao and others.
"You don't think people will believe us if we refuse to admit it, do you? With our performance in school, no one would believe we were admitted through exams. If this gets out, people will definitely think we were able to attend school because our families donated money to buy us a place."
"They think Rui Ke and Shao Yuan were able to attend school because of donations, which is understandable. But the three of us have been attending for two or three years. Can we still be considered to have anything to do with this?"
