Chapter 622 was not donated by me.
After selecting their books, the two prepared to pay and place their order.
Because it was donated to the school, the library sold it to Gu Tingyun at almost cost price and even gave him a set of high school reference books as an extra gift.
Just then, Helian Jiao ran over with a Sherlock Holmes storybook in her hand: "Gu Tingyun, I want to buy this!"
She had just read it for a while and found this type of detective novel quite interesting.
Upon seeing this, the librarian said, "The library has the complete set of this book. If you buy the whole set, we will only charge you the cost price."
It's a good thing that young people enjoy reading.
Helian Jiao waved her hand generously and said, "No need for a discount, I have money!"
She's a rich dragon!
Moreover, Grandma said that these days everyone has a hard time making money and living, so we shouldn't take advantage of others.
Gu Tingyun nodded, "Director, sell this set of books however you want. You've already given us a huge discount; the library can't go without making any money."
Upon hearing this, the curator couldn't help but say to Grandpa Gu, "Grandpa, you've raised this child so well. He's so young and already knows how to contribute to the education of our country."
They don't care about such a small amount of profit.
It is truly remarkable that someone so young has achieved such a feat.
Because Gu Tingyun handled all the communication throughout the book purchase process, and even personally selected the books, the librarian assumed that he had paid for the books to donate to the school.
"I didn't donate the book; my grandfather paid for it and donated it," Gu Tingyun explained calmly, without any intention of taking credit.
They would never proactively mention that they had donated desks.
After a moment of surprise, the curator's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation as he said, "Not bad! Such character and integrity at such a young age, he will surely become a pillar of the nation in the future!"
Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Bai Jun's face still showed some childishness, but his words and deeds were more proper and dignified than many adults.
"One should be honest and upright in life, there's nothing to praise," Old Master Gu said modestly, but he was very proud in his heart.
He raised his hand and patted his grandson's shoulder, everything was understood without words.
Then he said to the librarian, "Please send these thousand books directly to the Capital University without signing them."
"good!"
The curator readily agreed, knowing that the old man was doing a good deed anonymously.
Only through such teaching by example can such outstanding descendants be raised.
After leaving the library, the group drove to a lumber mill in the suburbs to order desks.
This time, as always, Old Master Gu stood by with his hands behind his back, leaving the negotiations to Gu Tingyun.
"Hello, I would like to order a thousand sets of desks. How much would that cost?" Gu Tingyun told the lumber mill staff.
The staff member's face lit up with surprise and exclaimed, "Young man, you really want to buy a thousand desks?!"
This is a big order!
The desks are all made of wood, and even if they are not used, as long as they are placed in a dry place, they will not break for eight or ten years.
With the college entrance examination suspended for ten years and no universities enrolling students, the addition of a thousand desks is quite unusual!
"Yes."
"A thousand desks is quite a lot. According to the lumber mill's regulations, the retail price of each desk is three yuan. But we'll give you a discount if you buy in bulk, and we'll give you a 50-cent discount per desk!" the staff member said skillfully.
Gu Tingyun: "Thank you. With the five hundred yuan saved, we can buy another two hundred desks."
