"That guy named Li is so arrogant!"
In the private room of the Anyuan Hotel, Huang Xing cursed angrily. In front of him, Chen Kai, the director of the Xilan County Education Committee, also looked very ugly.
Shen Dong added jealousy on the side: "That boy doesn't take our county education committee seriously at all. No matter what my brother-in-law tells him, he doesn't buy it at all. It's so disgusting!"
Huang Xing added: "Director Chen, I can't wait for a few years for such a rich man to come, more than 200,000 yuan in cash! Tomorrow morning he said that he would withdraw the money directly from the bank and go to the school to distribute it. If we don't think of something, If you miss this opportunity, it will be a long time before the next time!"
Chen Kai, who had been silent all this time, was now livid.
After all, he is also the top leader of the county education committee, and an official of Qingshui Yamen is also an official. He doesn't even accept the banquet he hosted. This kid is indeed too arrogant. Is it amazing to come from Yanjing? He casually took more than two hundred thousand and gave it to more than 200 poor students in a middle school he managed under his nose. This is like starving himself and someone gave it to hundreds of people in front of him. Who are you trying to scare to death by giving you a big meal, only letting yourself smell it but not letting yourself get started on it
Chen Kai slapped the table and angrily shouted: "The boy from Yanjing is so arrogant. It's so fucking weird. Why did he go straight to Xilan Middle School?"
Shen Dong said hurriedly: "This kid came from Xilan Middle School who ranked first in this year's college entrance examination and ranked second in our county."
Chen Kai nodded with sudden realization: "In other words, this God of Wealth was invited back by a graduate of Xilan Middle School."
"That's right."
Chen Kai then said: "Okay, let's meet with the student who graduated from Xilan Middle School first, offer him some benefits, and ask him to persuade the boy named Li. If that doesn't work, I will go to the guest house where he lives in person. I still don’t believe it, in Zealand we can actually get him to bypass us and donate more than 200,000 yuan!”
Huang Xing said: "That kid looks very tough. I'm afraid it's hard to tell. We have to make first-hand preparations. What will we do if he really takes the money to Xilan Middle School tomorrow?"
Chen Kai said coldly: "If we can't reach an agreement tonight, I will personally go to Xilan Middle School tomorrow morning and I will stop the money no matter what!"
…
Li Mu and others returned to the guest house. Liu Nian made an appointment with his father to meet in the county town in the afternoon and gave him the things he bought for his family and some cash, so after returning to the guest house, he took his things out.
For dinner, Li Mu asked Li Yawei to book a relatively clean ordinary restaurant. The group came out of the guest house and went to the hotel to have dinner. Liu Nian did not come, but found a small roadside restaurant in the county and ate with his father. Yes, they had eaten early before it got dark, and Liu Nian's father had to rush home.
Time was short, and Liu Nian didn't have time to go home and take a look. He felt a little sad, but he gave his father all the money he earned in two weeks and what he bought, including two thousand yuan and a bunch of Yanjing. Souvenirs.
Liu Nian's father asked him if he had left any living expenses for himself. Liu Nian said: "I will have income as a tutor next week, which is enough for me to spend. From now on, I will send some money back to my family every other month." "
Liu Nian's father said with a bit of relief and a bit of shame: "You can earn so much money just after you go to school, and you are more promising than me. Your mother said that if your job as a tutor is stable, you can start next spring." Our family is only building three tile-roofed houses, but I don’t know how long you can work as a tutor?”
Liu Nian is very aware of the situation at home. The house he lives in now was built ten years ago. It used to be an adobe thatched house and was converted into a brick house ten years ago. However, in order to save money, the roof is still made of thatched grass. Over time, There were leaks everywhere. When he was at home, he and his father had to repair the roof every time it rained. The conditions were really difficult.
“How much does three tile-roofed houses cost?”
Liu Nian's father thought for a while and said, "If we tear down our old house and tidy up the old bricks, we can save a lot of money by buying bricks. It should cost more than 10,000 yuan to build it. We still have Three to four thousand dollars.”
Liu Nian nodded slightly and said: "This year's Chinese New Year is on February 12th, and our holiday will probably be in early February. Calculating this way, there should be three months left. I will try my best to earn 10,000 yuan before the year ends. money."
Hearing the figure of ten thousand yuan, Liu Nian's father's eyelids jumped. He originally didn't want to ask his son to help build a house, but the old house was too dilapidated and there was no hope of making money from him. Now his son can make money. Only then did the family see hope of building a house.
Liu Nian's old father sighed and said, "Lai Zi, dad has no future, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Nian smiled slightly: "Dad, don't say that. I am a man now, and I should shoulder some of the burden for the family."
After dinner, Liu Nian watched his father ride away on the big 28 bicycle left by his grandfather. Seeing his rickety body and the old bicycle that was obviously a little too big, Liu Nian felt so uneasy. My heart was full of sadness.
If it doesn't rain, it would take two hours to ride back from the county seat. It just rained in Xilan County today. On the road in front of your home, you probably have to carry the bicycle to get through it, right
Thinking of the hardships of his father's journey home, Liu Nian's eyes turned red, and hot tears rolled down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
After a while, he wiped away his tears, took one last look at his father's figure that was already drifting away, turned around, and walked towards the guest house with long strides.
The farewell of family love is a deep sadness, and the hardship of poverty is the pain of helplessness. However, life is always developing in a better direction. At least he can now support himself and support his parents who are struggling.
Give yourself another four years. When you graduate, get a stable job, and take root in that distant city, you will definitely have the opportunity to take your family out of this mountain nest.
When Liu Nian returned to the guest house, Li Mu, the others, and the reporter were eating at a restaurant about one kilometer away from the guest house. When he came to the door of the guest house, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Liu Nian's way.
Liu Nian looked at Shen Dong in front of him and politely called: "Principal Shen."
Shen Dong smiled slightly, looked at Liu Nian, who was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and said, "Classmate Liu Nian, do you have time? I have something I want to talk to you about alone. How about we go to a nearby teahouse?"
Liu Nian said: "If you have anything to do with Principal Shen, just tell me here."
Shen Dong smiled and said in a low voice: "I'm here to thank you on behalf of the school. Not long after I went to school, I brought back a rich man to our Xilan Middle School, and he donated two hundred thousand yuan. It's really a generous sum. .”
Liu Liu said: "Then you should tell Brother Mu face to face, not me."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "It's just that Li Mu speaks too categorically. It's not suitable to talk to him about things. Liu Nian, you are a top student from our Xilan County. You must know how difficult the rural primary and secondary schools in our county are." , if you want to talk about this money, you should first give it to those who need it most, right? You, please advise that Li Mu, if you put 200,000 yuan in Xilan Middle School, you will donate more than 200 students. Our Education Committee can help at least two thousand primary school students. You can definitely tell which one is more meaningful, right?"
Liu Nian was not a fool. He knew in his heart what Shen Dong was planning, but his personality had always been more feminine and he was not easy to refute verbally. He nodded and said, "What you said, Principal Shen, makes sense, but this Qian Mu Since I have decided to donate it to Xilan Middle School, I am not qualified to intervene."
When Shen Dong saw that Liu Nian agreed with his point of view, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Student Liu Nian, Director Chen of the Education Committee has said that whoever can put this money into the Education Committee to benefit rural primary school students will be our Western He is a great contributor to Lan County’s education and will receive a bonus of 5,000 yuan!”
Liu Nian understood and said with a bit of anger: "You are really dirty! This money is donated to poor high school students to help them go to college. You even care about this money. It is simply inhumane!"
After saying that, Liu Nian pulled Shen Dong aside with both hands, bypassed him and entered the guest house door.
Shen Dong stood there for a long time before he realized that this boy was as arrogant as the man named Li. What did he mean? Could it be that the Education Committee really can't get the 200,000 yuan
Shen Dong was furious, but he couldn't let it go. He could only call his brother-in-law Huang Xing and tell him that he hadn't figured it out and he had to come up with the last solution in person.
The last solution is to have a showdown with Li Mu. The Education Committee wants to withhold donations, so it can only play the card of suffering and reputation with Li Mu. But when it comes to the card of suffering from rural schools, Li Mu will not pay at all, and now it can only use the card of reputation. Doing the seduction.
He has to ask his brother-in-law Huang Xing to come over and make it clear to Li Mu in private that the money will be donated to the Education Committee. The Education Committee can help him gain more reputation. If this road still doesn't work, then there is really no other way.
After Li Mu returned to the guest house, Liu Nian told him privately about his encounter with Shen Dong. Liu Nian was indignant, but Li Mu had no mood swings. On the one hand, he was not surprised. On the other hand, compared to them, eating It's much more ugly.
However, what Li Mu didn't expect was that at nine o'clock in the evening, Huang Xing came again.
Huang Xing found the room where Li Mu was and asked to have a chat with Li Mu alone. Li Mu said that it was no problem and asked other people in the room to leave first. Then he also found an excuse to exit the room first. I borrowed a portable voice recorder from Chen Lei. After learning how to use it, I put it in my pocket and returned to the room.
After a few polite words to Li Mu, Huang Xing knew that it was useless to play the sympathy card, so he directly stated his conditions, saying: "As long as this money is donated to the Education Committee, we will absolutely cooperate with you to do other things, the banner, Needless to say thank you letters, they are all trivial matters. We will also arrange TV interviews and newspaper interviews. When our Education Committee makes them public, we can double the amount of your donation! Oh no, triple it! "
I originally wanted to write three chapters last night and two chapters today, but now it seems I'm just showing off. The company has arranged a dinner party on the weekend, and it's almost ten o'clock when I get home. Let's make up for it with three chapters tomorrow.
