Chapter 66: The Willow is Dark and the Flower is Bright

  Damn it, you came at the worst possible time. Chen Zongbang regretted calling her over after learning that Kang Mei Qin had seen Xie Fei Yu's test paper.

  "Director Lin turned his head and asked Kang Mei Qin: "Teacher Xiao Kang, have you seen Xie Fei Yu's test paper? How did he do? Was it good or not?"

  "Okay, okay...... doesn't seem quite right." Just as Kang Mei Qin had responded with an "okay", she raised her eyes to see Principal Chen's face turn extremely unsightly, constantly giving her the eye, and finally managed to squeeze out such a sentence.

  "Director Kang, are you going to tell the truth?" Lan Xing heard Kang Mei Qin's change of heart and felt completely disillusioned. It turned out that people were all self-serving, what justice, what fairness, were just some superficial decorations! Forget it, in a school like this, with a job like this, she couldn't continue either. She might as well take Xie Fei Yu and find another way out together.

  Thinking of this, Lan Xiang walked out unsteadily, leaning against the wall, and didn't look at anyone in front of her again. Although tears rolled down uncontrollably, she didn't reach out to wipe them away, telling herself over and over in her heart, don't cry, don't cry, it's not worth crying in front of these selfish people!

  "Miss Lan Xiang, don't go yet. I believe in you!" Through tear-filled eyes, Lan Xiang saw the long-haired girl suddenly rush over and hold onto her, and that one sentence "I believe in you" brought her immense comfort. But what's the use of just a little girl like you believing in me? Lan Xiang shook her head, broke free from the girl's grasp, and continued to walk out while leaning against the wall.

  "Dad!" The girl suddenly shouted with a crying tone to a middle-aged man beside Director Lin, then tightly hugged Lan Xiang and burst into tears in her arms, repeating one sentence while crying: "I believe you, I believe you..."

  "Director Lin, may I have a word with you?" The middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brow and said to Lin Daoming beside him.

  Lin Daoming glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and immediately became respectful. "Mr. Gu, you speak."

  Lin Daoming's respectful attitude immediately put everyone on guard. Who is this person? How can he make the Director of Education so respectful? I thought it was some departmental cadre brought by the director, but now it seems that his identity and status are likely to be above Director Lin's.

  "Come, come, everyone sit down and talk, have a cup of tea." Principal Chen warmly invited, especially for this Gu Zong, personally pulling out a chair for him and pouring him a cup of tea.

  "Is that Principal Chen? I don't know how much the total budget for this science building is?" Gu Zong also didn't stand on ceremony, sitting down on the stool and asking casually.

  Chen Zongbang glanced at Director Lin, saw him smiling and nodding to himself, and hastily replied respectfully: "The budget is 3 million, the government pays half, and our school raises half."

  "Three million doesn't include the supporting facilities inside, does it?" Gu's tone was still light and calm, but to those who heard it, there was an unspoken majesty.

  "Yes, yes, if we add the internal matching facilities, I'm afraid it will be over 4 million." Chen Zongbang replied hastily.

  "Director Lin, you see that the education department is also a poor institution, and it's understandable that the budget is tight. But isn't there a slogan that says 'no matter how poor, we cannot be poor in education'? Alright, I'll personally invest 50 million to build this science building. If we're going to build it, we should do it well, what do you think?"

  5 million? Hearing this number, everyone was stunned. What kind of person is this? 5 million comes out of his mouth so easily, without even blinking an eye, isn't he joking?

  The one who reacted the fastest was Lin Daoming, because he was the only one who knew the identity of this person. Today, Municipal Party Secretary Chang Chunlin asked him to go to the municipal party committee to receive someone, saying that there was someone willing to visit Sixth Middle School and offer support for its campus construction. At first, Lin didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw Secretary Chang showing great respect to this person, he realized that this person must have a high status. He then discreetly asked the secretary of the municipal party committee and found out that this person was actually Gu Longji, the head of Longji Industry, one of the top ten private enterprises in China, who ranked 38th on the Forbes rich list last year.

  Seeing the stunned expressions of everyone, Lin Daoming hastily introduced: "Let me introduce you, this is Gu Longji, the former CEO of Longji Industry. The Longji Industry led by Mr. Gu is one of the key investment attraction projects in our city this year. What's more, Mr. Gu is an entrepreneur with a strong sense of social responsibility. I won't mention his enthusiastic donations in the past, but just two days ago, he arrived in G City and learned that the infrastructure construction of our No. 6 Middle School was relatively backward, so he came here today."

  Longji Industry, this name exploded in everyone's mind like a heavy bomb. Shi Jia Ying, who had been in the business world for a long time, seized the opportunity with his keen sense as a businessman. He quickly stood up and extended his hand to Gu Long Ji: "Mr. Gu, let me introduce myself, I am Shi Jia Ying from G City's Shi Jewelry, it is our great honor that Mr. Gu's Longji Industry can enter G City, on behalf of the local private enterprises in G City, I welcome Mr. Gu."

  Looking at Shi Jia Ying's outstretched hand, Gu Long Ji only gave him a cold glance and didn't shake hands with him. This made Shi Jia Ying very embarrassed, his hand suspended in mid-air, neither extending nor retracting.

  "Are you Shi Zong, who donated 500,000?" Gu Longji asked calmly.

  "Yes, yes, although our Shi family doesn't have the wealth and power of Gu's Longji Industry, when it comes to charitable donations for education, I'm just like Chairman Gu." Shi Jia Ying awkwardly withdrew his hand, but upon hearing about sponsoring the science building, he thought this was another great opportunity to get close to Gu Longji. If he could gain Gu's favor, the benefits would be immeasurable.

  "You can take your 500,000 and leave, you have nothing to do with the Science Building anymore." Gu Longji's one sentence made Shi Jiaying's heart shake greatly, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where he had offended this business magnate.

  "Director Lin, I'm investing in this tech building alone, but with conditions." Gu Longji no longer paid attention to Shi Jia'ying and spoke directly to Lin Daoming.

  "Director Gu said, as long as it doesn't violate national policy, everything can be negotiated." Lin Daoming was thrilled to hear that Gu Longji was willing to invest 50 million to build this science building, which meant that the 15 million from the Education Bureau would also be waived.

  "Firstly, I want the naming rights of this tech building, secondly, I want to find someone in this school."

  "No problem, no problem. Since Gu is the investor of this building, he naturally has the right to name it. I just don't know who Gu wants to find." Lin Daoming heard that these were the two conditions and naturally agreed immediately.

  "Xie Feiyu." Gu Longji lightly spat out a name, yet it made everyone present feel a shockwave in their hearts. What kind of student was this Xie Feiyu, and why were all eyes fixed on him today?
