“I’ve got a good opportunity here, see if you’re interested…”
Soon, Xu Fei informed Wang Qiang about the situation at the school. Wang Qiang, known as a rare upright figure in the business world, not only built a vast commercial empire but also seized every chance to do good deeds, like donating to causes.
Upon hearing about the school’s issue, Wang Qiang immediately agreed.
“No problem, Mr. Xu. I’m willing to donate one hundred million through my foundation. If that’s not enough, just let me know anytime!”
As expected from a real estate tycoon in the capital, Xu Fei smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then called Su Hong.
When talking to this guy, Xu Fei deliberately emphasized doing good deeds for karma a few times.
Su Hong, on the other end of the line, understood Xu Fei’s intent and genuinely shared the sentiment, so he chimed in.
“My Su family is also willing to contribute fifty million. I hope Mr. Xu doesn’t think it’s too little!”
How could Xu Fei possibly mind? He was overjoyed.
After hanging up, he recalled helping the old Zhu family before, who had left behind considerable assets.
Xu Fei then contacted Bai Zhan to help extract a few tens of millions from those funds.
All in all, Xu Fei secured two hundred million in assets and shared the news with Lan Jitong.
“Two… two hundred million? Oh, Young Master Jun, you’re truly a living Buddha! On behalf of all the teachers and students, I sincerely thank you!”
Lan Jitong was thrilled. After all, the school was only short on funds, not building a new one from scratch.
So, two hundred million was more than enough.
You see, Lan Jitong, under pressure, had turned a once-honest school into its current mess.
All the investments he’d scraped from those naive parents barely amounted to twenty million.
Twenty million versus two hundred million, even a primary school kid would know which to choose.
Thus, Lan Jitong immediately informed the school’s board and called a board meeting, warmly inviting Xu Fei to attend.
Xu Fei had no ulterior motives. The school was sizable enough for Lele to study from primary through high school.
If Xu Fei could reform the school’s culture this time, it would benefit Lele in the long run.
So, at the board meeting, Xu Fei set a firm rule: the school’s admission standards must not be based on money, a line no one could cross!
While the board meeting went smoothly, a crowd at the school gate began whispering among themselves.
Director Liu stayed out of the chatter, looking distracted as usual. A parent who spoke up couldn’t help but mock him.
“Seriously, Director Liu? Did that scene just now scare you? Maybe Principal Lan is just making a fuss over nothing, no need to worry so much!”
Hearing this, Director Liu took a deep breath and said solemnly.
“It’s not that I’m timid, but something feels off, Brother Zhao. I’ve never seen Principal Lan show such respect to anyone before!”
Zhao Sheng, however, brushed it off with disdain.
