Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 280 - 168: When It Comes to Showing Off, Yang Chen Is Second—No One Dares Claim First
Ge Sulan: "Haha... Understood, understood. I won’t disturb President Zhou any further, you go ahead and get busy, and we’ll talk about the details later."
After hanging up the phone, Ge Sulan excitedly returned the phone to Yang Chen, then eagerly shook Yang Chen’s hands and said, "Yang, thank you so much. You’ve really done a huge favor for our alma mater. Not only did you help the school secure land, but you also saved 20 million. So, I’ve decided to name the teaching building after you, and call it Yang Chen Building, what do you think?"
What?
For just one yuan spent on a phone call, I’ve gained the naming rights to a teaching building?
What would those alumni who donated a lot more think?
They must be feeling pretty sour right now, right?
The alumni all look bewildered.
They fought so hard, both openly and secretly, and donated a lot of money, yet it couldn’t compete with Yang Chen’s one yuan phone call. Who could they complain to about this?
But they had no choice but to accept it because they don’t have Yang Chen’s abilities.
Not donating a penny and still bagging the naming rights to a teaching building, even Yang Chen felt a bit embarrassed.
Before Yang Chen could say anything, Ge Sulan continued, "It just so happens that our Alumni Association needs a vice president. If Yang doesn’t mind, how about you take the position? You’ll be responsible for managing the connections with Finance University’s alumni, and for any issues, you can contact the president, who is also the Education Bureau Director, Wang Zhengxia. How does that sound?"
Oh dear, this is quite embarrassing.
Don’t give me so much, it’s too much. The alumni next to him are speechless, they look pretty unpleased.
Yang Chen didn’t donate a cent and managed to snag two major benefits just like that.
Brother Chen always wins people over with virtue, logic, and money. There’s no reason for them all to feel unhappy.
Yang Chen: "Principal Ge is too kind, I’m a bit embarrassed."
Ge Sulan: "No! Don’t feel embarrassed, you deserve it."
Ge Sulan is savvy too, as long as she maintains a good relationship with Yang Chen, in future, the school can seek help from him whenever there’s difficulty.
In the adult world, nothing is simple, everything is about profit and gain.
Yang Chen: "I’ll accept the naming rights for the teaching building, but I won’t take the vice president role in the Alumni Association. Let Chen Liang take it for me, I trust him. Since everyone showed their support for our alma mater’s birthday, I can’t just give nothing. I’ve noticed that the university’s activity center is a bit worn out, so I’ll donate for a new university activity center. You can discuss the details with Mingyang Real Estate later, and I’ll cover the costs for the center. Okay?"
Ge Sulan: "Haha... Yang certainly is exceptional! Of course, this is a great thing, on behalf of more than 20,000 teachers and students at the university, I thank Yang for his generous donation. The university activity center will also be named after you. The teaching building will be Yang Chen No. 1 Building, and the activity center will be Yang Chen No. 2 Building. How does that sound?"
Yang Chen: "I graduated from Finance University, naturally, I’ll defer to the principal."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Chen Liang joyfully chimed in, "Thank you, Brother Chen."
Chen Liang suddenly realized that not opposing Yang Chen turned out to be nice, it’s much happier than before.
Ge Sulan: "Today has been so joyful, thank you all alumni for your help. Things have gone better than we expected. Come on, let’s go to the auditorium now. You all as representatives should definitely give a speech. Yang, you should talk a bit more to set an example for the younger students."
Yang Chen dislikes such fake speeches the most, and Zhao Feifei was also at the auditorium; he did not want to see her again.
"I’m not going, there’s still something important to do here. You all go ahead, and I wish everyone a pleasant day at our alma mater," Yang Chen said.
Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, you’ve put in so much, what could be more important than going on stage to set an example for the younger students?"
Yang Chen: "I’ve already wasted too much time today, I need to go pick up passengers. After all, I’m a ride-share driver, and I need to do my job well."
"..."
There was silence again.
Chen Liang looked at Yang Chen with admiration, thinking to himself, "I always thought I was good at boasting, but now I realize Brother Chen is the real master. In terms of boasting, if he’s second, no one would dare claim to be first. Impressive!"
Come on, you’re the one bragging, your entire family is boasting. This is called being dedicated to my work, okay?
