Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 271 - 166: Junior Sent an Invitation and Got Scammed by a Crash-for-Cash Gang (Part 2)
Chen Yu: "No time! I’m going on a business trip to Beijing tomorrow, and I don’t know when I’ll be back."
Liu Li: "Same here, I have to go to Buddha City because there’s a problem with the supplier. I have to check it out. Who knows how long I’ll be away; I can’t attend either."
Liang Zhentao: "My grandma is getting married the day after tomorrow, I have to go back and attend."
Wu Yi: "What the hell, Brother Tao, could your excuse be any more far-fetched? Your grandma’s getting married, does your grandpa know?"
Liang Zhentao: "Damn it, it’s true. My grandpa and grandma didn’t have a banquet when they got married back then, so while they’re still in good health, we’re making it up to them."
...
Almost as if someone would say their own mom is having a baby. It’s really not putting any heart into it.
Anyway.
We’re all adults, we understand each other, it’s better not to expose each other.
Xu Xiaowan to all members: "If everyone is too busy, then I’ll let Teacher Huang know, okay?"
Subsequently, Xu Xiaowan sent a private message to Yang Chen.
The most successful in the class is Yang Chen, he probably isn’t short of money.
Xu Xiaowan: "Yang Chen, will you attend?"
Yang Chen: "Not attending, no time."
Indeed, Yang Chen is not short of money.
But he has to be willing to donate himself; this direct way of asking for money is really hard to swallow.
Xu Xiaowan: "Alright then. I’ll tell Teacher Huang that everyone is too busy."
Yang Chen: "Okay."
Xu Xiaowan replied to the homeroom teacher Teacher Huang, saying that everyone is very busy, and really can’t find the time to attend the school anniversary.
Teacher Huang was furious, is there really no one doing well in the entire class?
Not only Yang Chen’s class, but most other alumni were also reluctant to go.
Because there’s no standard when it comes to donations; donate too little and it’s embarrassing, donate too much and it’s a burden.
The most important thing is, how many people are truly so enlightened to donate their hard-earned money for nothing?
Even donating to disaster areas can deduct taxes.
What good does donating to the school do?
You get nothing!
Seeing the unfavorable recruitment situation, Principal Ge Sulan thought of another method.
Whoever can sponsor the construction of this teaching building gets to have the building named after them.
For example, many schools have Yifu Buildings. If someone donates this building, they can have it named after themselves like Mr. Yi Fu, allowing future students to admire it.
This clever move by Ge Sulan indeed had an effect. After all, who doesn’t want to leave a good name in this world?
Especially those who really aren’t short of money, what they internally pursue is a good reputation.
If they can have the building named after them, this money is indeed worth donating.
After Finance University reissued the "Hero’s Invitation," the number of alumni accepting the invitation noticeably increased.
Zhang Runfa, the head of the finance department, came to the principal’s office to report: "Principal Ge, we have a graduate from our finance department named Chen Liang, now working as a vice president at Shengjin Investment Bank’s Hai City Branch on Wall Street in the United States, with an annual salary of 3 million. I’ve already contacted him to attend the anniversary event, and he agreed to come, and he even said he could consider donating at least 300,000 to the school to build the teaching building."
Chen Liang is the guy who internally screams "Why was Liang born if Yu was already born?"—the guy who was overshadowed by Yang Chen five times.
From his tendency to show off, you can guess what his words mean.
"Consider donating at least 300,000," means you need to give him enough face to show off in front of the alumni, it all depends on whether the school understands.
After returning from Jinshan Resort last time, Chen Liang was supposed to be removed from the vice president position.
But Liang Xiuyun didn’t want to offend Yang Chen, so she left him alone.
Yang Chen had said, as long as Chen Liang and his group still call him Brother Chen, he will always be their leader and will keep looking after them just like in school.
Liang Xiuyun, being experienced, naturally knows how to handle things.
Ge Sulan happily said: "300,000? Though it’s not much, it’s better than nothing. A vice president of an investment bank, at least we found one student doing relatively well."
Zhang Runfa: "But Chen Liang also told me another thing, that his classmate from the same year in marketing, Yang Chen, is doing even better, owns a lot of assets, roughly estimated to be worth at least 1 billion. Even the boss of Shengjin Investment Bank treats him with respect and even offered him a phone proactively to curry favor."
Ge Sulan was shocked, stood up, and said: "Worth at least 1 billion? Wow, our Finance University finally nurtured a wealthy entrepreneur! Quick, get me his homeroom teacher!"
Zhang Runfa nodded and called Huang Yuxuan.
Soon, Huang Yuxuan arrived at the principal’s office.
After listening to the principal and Zhang Runfa, Huang Yuxuan exclaimed: "What? Worth billions? Are you sure there’s no mistake?"
Zhang Runfa confidently said: "Absolutely no mistake! My student Chen Liang, vice president at Shengjin Investment Bank, told me personally that his classmate from the same year in marketing, Yang Chen, has at least a billion-level wealth."
Huang Yuxuan recalled that back then, there was indeed a guy named Yang Chen in the class he led.
But he was an orphan at the time, how did he suddenly become so successful?
No matter, better contact and confirm first.
While Yang Chen was driving, a call came in from Huang Yuxuan.
Huang Yuxuan got the number from Xu Xiaowan, as he never exchanged contacts with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen answered using a Bluetooth headset: "Hello, who is this?"
Huang Yuxuan: "Haha... Student Yang Chen, I’m your university homeroom teacher, Huang Yuxuan. We’re hosting a 60th-anniversary celebration the day after tomorrow, you must come if you have time."
