Huang Xing didn't know that Li Mu himself had brought several news media from Yanjing, and the local provincial and municipal media had also been notified by Dong Ai. They should also come when the time comes. After all, it was a donation of more than 200,000 yuan. From today's perspective, , more than two hundred thousand yuan is indeed a huge sum of money. Even a house in the provincial capital is now only two thousand yuan per square meter. More than two hundred thousand yuan is a proper three-bedroom apartment in the provincial capital.
In Huang Xing's eyes, he thought that Li Mu was a passionate second-generation rich man from a big city who was looking for fame. He gave an exaggerated condition of doubling the donation amount, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted. Once he donated the money, The Education Committee would not really exaggerate this amount. For the amount of four to five million, the higher-level units would probably come to grab the meat. As long as Li Mu agreed, he would have no choice but to watch if he went back on his word.
Li Mu despised him in his heart, but asked with a hint of inducement: "If I donate 250,000 yuan, can the Education Committee claim to the media that I donated 500,000 yuan?"
Huang Xing patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, if you ask me to donate 250,000 yuan to the Education Committee, the Education Committee will definitely explain to the outside world that the amount of your donation is 500,000 yuan."
Li Mu asked: "Isn't it not in compliance with the regulations for the Education Committee to do this?"
Huang Xing has worked in the Qingshui Yamen of the Xilan Education Committee for so many years, and his real official experience is not as good as that of a village official in a wealthy area. When he saw hundreds of thousands of funds at once, he just thought of ways to eat it, without caring about whether it looked good. , so he said very nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this, Boss Li. The rules are set by people, so it's no big deal."
Li Mu asked again: "Why doesn't the Education Committee not want me to donate money to the poor students in Xilan Middle School? They will take the college entrance examination next year. With this money, it will be of great help to them. Maybe these more than 20 people will take the college entrance examination. Ten thousand, maybe it can change the fate of more than 200 people. Even if it doesn't work, it can be regarded as giving them a toll to go out, so that they can go out of the mountains and visit big cities like Yanjing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. , It’s always better to venture out than to stay in the mountains.”
"Hi!" Huang Xing waved his hand and said with a smile: "They are already burning incense when they can reach the third year of high school. To be honest, the education situation in Xilan County is very low. The penetration rate of nine-year compulsory education is very low. They are already better than most People are so much luckier that donating money to them will do no good.”
As he spoke, Huang Xing made a sincere expression and said to Li Mu: "Boss Li, look, the annual family income of the poor students in Xilan Middle School is less than 3,000 yuan. What should such a child be encouraged to study? College? Encouraging him to go to college is not a good deed, it is a sin. Don't be angry when I say this. Seriously, think about it, if a child goes to college, how much pressure will his parents face? How can Can he afford to go to school? He threw the notice at home, crying and shouting that he wanted to go to college. His parents would not be able to live a good life in the next three or four years. In order to go to school for himself and drag down the whole family, it is better to let him go to college. After graduating from high school, he goes out to work to support his family, or he goes home to help his parents farm and share some of the burden of life for his parents. This is a good deed."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "The more this goes on, the harder it will be for children in the mountains to change their own destiny. Only when more and more children from the mountains go to college, go out and change their lives can we inspire more people." Children in the mountains should study hard and follow the power of role models to change their own destiny. Otherwise, it will always be a vicious cycle like you said. When will the hat of poverty be taken off?"
Huang Xing thought he had deceived Li Mu, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly start educating him again. He didn't want to respond to Li Mu's words, but said impatiently: "Boss Li, you don't have to worry about these things. Even the country As we have said, education is a century-old plan and it will take a century to achieve results. There is no point in worrying about it. Let me tell you, let’s talk about donations. I know you are going back to Yanjing tomorrow. What I just proposed Do you have any objection? You announced a donation of 500,000 to the outside world, and you will look so proud when you return to Yanjing!"
Li Mu's face suddenly turned cold. The recording was almost done. Huang Xing would definitely pay a heavy price for his remarks, and he would also be the first person to sacrifice a flag to him. There was no need to continue at this time. He was talking nonsense, so Li Mu said coldly: "Director Huang, your heart is not in education at all. As the saying goes, people who are different do not work together. We have nothing to talk about. Please go back first."
Huang Xing was stunned. What do you mean? You were fine just now, but now you're going to fall out? The conditions are as high as this, and you still don’t agree? Do you really want to come here to help students? Don't be kidding. Who the hell would believe a young man who is at most twenty years old and takes hundreds of thousands to support his studies
"Boss Li, if you are not satisfied with the specific conditions, we can discuss it again..."
Li Mu stood up, pointed at the door and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
Huang Xing is also angry. You brought money. I want to get it and I will treat you as the God of Wealth. If you don't even let me touch it, how can I still provide it to you? What a joke!
Standing up immediately, Huang Xing pointed at Li Mu and said: "Li, this is also the land of Xilan County. Don't toast, eat or drink as a fine, and don't cooperate with the Education Committee. You can donate this money if you want." stay home!"
Li Mu frowned and asked, "What? If I don't give you the money, you won't let the students accept my donation?"
"That's right!" Huang Xing sneered: "I want to see who dares to take your money from Xilan Middle School!" After saying that, Huang Xing was afraid of directly scaring Li Mu away, so he threatened again: "Not only is there no one If I dare to take your money, I will contact the media and tell them that you are coming to Xilan County to assist students, but privately you insist that our Xilan County Education Committee double the amount of your donation when telling the outside world, you alone You guys, we are an educational institution, let’s see who the masses believe more when the time comes.”
Li Mu laughed angrily, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I've received everything you said. Whatever you do, I will still go to Xilan Middle School to donate money tomorrow morning. If you have the ability, feel free to come over."
Huang Xing gritted his molars and said harshly: "Okay! I'll make you cry without tears tomorrow!"
After saying this, Huang Xing slammed the door and left. Li Mu took out the recording pen, stopped the recording, and played it again. The imported recording pen specially used for reporters is indeed powerful. The high-definition stereo recording function captured what Huang Xing said. After recording everything word for word, Li Mu immediately called everyone to his room. More than a dozen people gathered together to listen to Huang Xing's words again.
After listening to the recording, both Li Mu's classmates and reporters in the room were shocked. Such a shameless Education Committee official was rare. The thin Chen Lei jumped to her feet and said that she must expose this unscrupulous Huang Xing when she went back. Other reporters They were all filled with indignation. Li Mu said: "We will go to Xilan Middle School tomorrow morning with cash. They will definitely not be able to stop us. As for him threatening the media to smear me, we have these recordings as evidence, and you Yanjing media are here to prove it." , I’m not worried either.”
Chen Lei said: "Don't worry, Li Mu, he can't smear you. I have a classmate who is working at CCTV in the news department. When I get back to Yanjing, I will go find him and ask him to find a way to be exposed on CCTV."
Li Mu said: "I am not a media person, nor do I have any media connections. I have to rely on everyone to expose the matter. After all, the 3321 student aid campaign will continue to be carried out in the future. I don't know how many people will be like them in the future. If this can become a benchmark event, it will also scare other similar local officials."
…
At around eight o'clock the next morning, everyone checked out of the room, took a Coaster to the reserved bank and withdrew 220,000 in cash, and then drove directly to Xilan Middle School.
Wang Jianshe had long been looking forward to Li Mu's arrival. This morning, he convened a meeting with the school's main leaders and requested that during the 9:30 recess, while all the students in the school were doing exercises in the playground, he would gather everyone together on the flag-raising platform. Hold a donation ceremony and have all the teachers and students in the school witness it. Even if they don’t attend the third period, they must watch the donation in its entirety.
On the one hand, Wang Jianshe also wanted to repay Li Mu, and what he could give back to Li Mu was nothing but sincerity; on the other hand, he also wanted all the students in the school to witness such a grand event, and it was also for students in other grades. An inspiration.
At nine o'clock, Coaster drove into Xilan Middle School. As soon as Li Mu and the others arrived, the first and second leaders of the county education committee came on motorcycles.
This morning, Chen Kai and Huang Zhenhong discussed for an hour and finally decided that if Li Mu really refused to take the hard way, then they would start with Wang Jianshe.
Li Mu can donate money to students, which they can't stop, but they can force Wang Jianshe to take the money back from students.
Chen Kai has already thought about it. These senior high school students are still seven months away from the college entrance examination, so simply tell them that the money will be supervised by the school for them and will be returned month by month, 150 yuan per month, regardless of whether the students believe it or not. If you are willing, it is mandatory to take back 850 yuan per person.
Seeing that he will retire in a few years, Chen Kai is really anxious. No matter what, he has to get this money. If he can't get it from Li Mu, he will get it from the students.
Li Mu left everyone waiting in the car and divided the cash into one thousand yuan. He and Liu Nian went to the principal's office to meet with Wang Jianshe.
Because he had prepared the amount of 220,000 yuan before, Li Mu decided to donate 220,000 yuan this time. There were 209 students in the poverty bracket designated by Wang Jianshe, and there were still 11 places left, so Li Mu donated the remaining 200,000 yuan. Among the people, those with the worst conditions were selected, and eleven more people were selected, and a list of two hundred and twenty people was decided.
Wang Jianshe told Li Mu about the arrangements for the donation ceremony at 9:30. Li Mu had no objection and just said to Liu Nian: "For this donation, you will distribute the money to all students."
The three chapters will be fulfilled tonight, no matter how late it is.
