Chapter 616 Not Seeking Fame or Fortune
"Hello, is this Gu's home? I'm a teacher at Capital University, could you please find Gu?" A strange male voice came from the receiver.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyun guessed that the caller was calling about the donation of desks: "This is me, please speak."
Sure enough, the next second the other party said gently, "It's like this, I heard from Teacher Qi that you, Gu, intend to donate a thousand desks to our school. Our school accepts your donation, and on behalf of the school, I would like to express our gratitude. We are very grateful for your contribution to education."
"You're welcome." Gu Tingyun was not surprised at all.
Because after the resumption of the college entrance examination next year, the capital university will definitely welcome a large number of students.
After a ten-year hiatus from university, with everything in ruins and needing to be rebuilt, countless students naturally flocked to the examination halls upon the resumption of classes.
The other party then said, "Gu, would you mind leaving your name? To express our gratitude to all the donors, our school will include your names in the donor list so that the students who benefit from them will remember it."
Gu Tingyun said calmly, "No need. I am simply taking from the country and using it for the country."
"Well said! It's getting late, so I won't disturb your rest any longer. Thank you very much for your support of the school. Goodbye." After thanking him again, the other party hung up the phone.
Gu Tingyun put the microphone back on the landline, then massaged Helian Jiao's brows for a while until they relaxed, before saying softly, "Sweetie, I'm going to the study to talk to Grandpa about donating the desk."
"Go, go!" Helian Jiao waved her hand without any hesitation.
I'm not feeling unwell anymore, and my attention is completely focused on the television in front of me.
They perfectly embody the phrases "discard the bridge after crossing the river" and "use and discard."
"You little ingrate." Gu Tingyun sighed and squeezed her chubby little hand before getting up and walking towards the stairs.
He went up to the second floor and stood at the door of the study, then raised his hand and knocked three times.
"Come in!"
The door was ajar, and Old Master Gu's deep, steady voice came from inside.
Gu Tingyun pushed open the door and saw her grandfather sitting upright at his desk, reading letters. She asked, "Grandpa, do you have time now? There's something I want to tell you."
The old man put down the letter in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Speak."
“Grandpa, I plan to take three thousand yuan from my allowance and donate one thousand desks to the Capital University.” He stepped forward and went straight to the desks.
Although it was his own money, three thousand yuan was still a considerable sum, so he still had to tell the old man.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gu nodded slightly: "You did a good job! The college entrance examination will be reinstated next year, and the country needs to cultivate a large number of talents. I will also donate a thousand extracurricular books to the Capital University. This matter should not be publicized."
We should learn from ** and do good deeds anonymously!
Thinking of this, the old man earnestly advised, "When we do good deeds, we do them to contribute to the country's education, not for fame or fortune."
"Yes, I know, Grandpa."
Gu Tingyun nodded and said, "I plan to have the desk made by a lumber mill tomorrow and then have it delivered directly to the school."
He didn't like to be in the limelight and never intended to leave his name behind.
Upon hearing this, although Grandpa Gu did not show it on his face, he was very satisfied with his grandson.
Although he didn't exactly use a strict, iron-fisted approach to education, he wouldn't praise his grandson casually either. His aim was to prevent his grandson from becoming arrogant and impetuous, and to cultivate a calm and composed personality.
