…
An hour later,
Xu Mengyao finally received a call back from Huang Shao.
"It's okay. Take Xiaomei to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. Also, she won't live in that dormitory anymore. Consider whether to let her move to your dormitory or move back home. My suggestion is the latter. You've made all the friends you should have made in the past six months, and the dormitory conditions are limited. It's better for her to live at home next semester." Huang Shao's steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle! Long live Fourth Uncle! I'll think about it carefully."
When Xu Mengyao heard that everyone was fine, the heavy stone in her heart was finally put down.
As for whether to live on campus next semester, she also needs to discuss it with Xiaomei.
After all, the dormitory space is small. Even if Xiaomei moves in, no one will object, but there will be no place to put all the luggage, which will cause inconvenience to everyone.
Moreover, she herself is a light sleeper and snoring can often be heard in the dormitory. The conditions are the most difficult in winter and summer. If she could live at home, she would naturally be willing to do so.
Seeing that everyone was still chattering, she did not immediately tell everyone that everything was fine. She decided to wait for Teacher Luo to announce it tomorrow.
The next morning, after class, the students were taken back to Mr. Luo's office. Mr. Luo sat behind his desk with a serious expression, while the students stood before him, feeling nervous.
"The school has already investigated yesterday's incident." Teacher Luo said.
"Although your starting point was to help your classmates, your methods were ill-considered. On behalf of the school, I am giving each of you a verbal warning. Don't make the same mistake again next time, especially you, Li Yan. If you don't behave well, you will lose your scholarship for next semester."
Li Yan immediately stood up straight and answered seriously:
"Thank you, Mr. Luo. I will study hard and make progress every day."
Teacher Luo called out their names and continued:
"Don't be so sarcastic. I know you're not convinced, but be alert. The school is letting you off lightly this time. The people in the Management Department have been given serious warnings and are on probation. This will be recorded in your files from now on."
Hearing that the other party had received a more severe punishment than them, several people instantly cheered up.
They answered in unison: "We will follow Mr. Luo's instructions."
Teacher Luo nodded, and his tone softened a little:
"Alright, Huang Wenjuan will stay, and the rest of you can go back first. I hope you can learn from this. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you should handle them calmly and not act impulsively."
Teacher Luo waved his hand and started to chase people away.
When Zhou Zhou left, he lip-read to Xu Mengyao and silently said "take care".
Xu Mengyao was a little unsure of the situation for a moment, and stood there nervously asking, "Teacher, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Teacher Luo looked at her and said meaningfully:
"The principal asked me to thank your parents for their generosity. Although the other party was wrong in this matter, I hope you will avoid such things in the future. You had excellent grades when you entered the school, and you always had the highest credits in the class. With such a family background, you will achieve greater success in the future. The teacher looks forward to your continued success."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo. I will work hard."
Xu Mengyao answered respectfully, but she was a little confused. She didn't understand what Mr. Luo meant by "generous donation".
"Okay, then you go back first."
Teacher Luo picked up the teacup and signaled her that she could leave.
Xu Mengyao walked out of the office with mixed feelings. She decided to take Xiaomei to the hospital for a physical examination first, and then go home to ask Huang Shao.
In the hospital, the doctor carefully examined Xiaomei's injuries. Although the bruises on her face were a bit scary, it was not serious.
The doctor prescribed an ointment and reminded her, "Little girl, remember to apply it regularly. It would be ugly if scars were left on your face."
The two returned home and had dinner before waiting for Huang Shao to come back.
Xu Mengyao stepped forward attentively and took the briefcase from his hand.
"Uncle Si, what did our teacher mean when he said the principal thanked you for your generosity?"
Huang Shao took off his coat, took the hot soup from Xiaomei, and pointed at Xiaomei's face.
He smiled and said, "You girls hit hard in a fight."
Xiaomei lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and said softly:
"Fourth Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Xu Mengyao urged, "Hey, Fourth Uncle, please tell me quickly."
Huang Shao scooped a mouthful of soup with a spoon and said nonchalantly:
"Nothing. I told your principal that since some students are so poor that they can't even afford toothpaste and laundry detergent, I'm willing to sponsor a 50,000 yuan scholarship for your two departments every year. This will be used for students from poor families who are academically excellent."
Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei were stunned when they heard this.
"Ah? That means you will have to spend money again. No, I have to pay for it." Xu Mengyao immediately expressed her opinion.
Xiaomei also said anxiously: "No, no, you are all helping me, I can pay for it."
She did a quick calculation in her mind and realized that the coal business could now earn her about 10,000 yuan per month. Brother Wenbin said that if they continued to expand the business in the future, the profit would be even greater, so she could now afford 50,000 yuan a year.
Huang Shao couldn't help laughing as he watched the two girls fighting over it.
"Don't rush me, I haven't finished yet. My promise to donate to your school is conditional. Outstanding students who complete their studies with the scholarship must work for our company after graduation. This is the cost of cultivating elite talents for our company, and neither of you has to pay for it."
When Xu Mengyao heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately praised him.
"Fourth Uncle, you're amazing. You helped us solve our problems while also handling our official business."
Huang Shao finished his soup and pushed the bowl away.
"Your fourth uncle has been so powerful for a long time. Go upstairs and sleep."
The two girls went upstairs laughing. Xu Mengyao snuggled in bed and called her elder sister Huang Wenrong to tell her what had happened recently.
Huang Wenrong on the other end of the phone said enviously:
"You guys in your dormitory are pretty united. I miss you and Xiaomei so much. I wish I had applied to Haicheng when I first applied for college."
"What's wrong? Is your roommate difficult to get along with?" Xu Mengyao asked with concern.
Huang Wenrong sighed.
"I can't really say. Everyone seems to be very busy. We haven't gotten to know each other very well in half a year. Let's not talk about me. How's Xiaomei? Is she going to live in your dormitory?"
"It's just a superficial injury, with some scary bruising, but it will be fine once it goes away. Except for her, everyone else in the dormitory has been punished, so they don't dare to cause trouble again. The holidays are just a few days away, and we agreed to go home at night next semester. The lunch break will be short, so she can just rest with me in the dormitory." Xu Mengyao's tone was relaxed.
"You guys are really good at making arrangements." Huang Wenrong chuckled.
"Sister, are you still filming during this holiday?"
"No, I want to go home. I miss you guys." Huang Wenrong said immediately, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"We miss you too. See you at home then." Xu Mengyao responded with a smile.
