Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia! - Chapter 1068 - 1046: A Kind-hearted Philanthropist?
Liang Anya pursed her lips and asked sharply, "Did he throw a lot of money at UCC? You trust him that much?"
If it were an ordinary university, it wouldn’t matter, but UCC was a very sacred and noble university in her mind, yet it seemed so greedy, bowing to power?
Letting Si Yuheng become the school’s overlord, the principal actually believes everything he says... she’s a bit disappointed.
The old principal detected the disdain in Liang Anya’s words and didn’t get angry with her; instead, he exchanged a glance with the female secretary and laughed, "That’s right, REX did donate a substantial amount to the school, but that money wasn’t for us."
Liang Anya was stunned.
The old principal glanced at the secretary, signaling her to speak.
The female secretary explained, "Over the past five years, Mr. Rex has continuously funded ninety-eight poor students at UCC. Their tuition and living expenses over these five years have all been supported by him, it’s a huge amount. Among these students, some couldn’t even afford meals, some were orphans, some nearly went astray due to poverty and almost ended up in juvenile detention, but now they have graduated and become elites in various industries globally and domestically. We have also invited him to join UCC’s board of directors, but he declined, seemingly just wanting to assist students purely. And his only request is just one."
Her gaze shifted slightly: "What?"
The old principal sighed with emotion, "He only asked not to reveal to those students who their benefactor is. Therefore, Mr. Rex’s character leaves me with absolutely no doubt about the people he recommends."
She was dazed for a moment before coming to her senses; the person that the old principal and the female secretary talked about who silently aided poor students was indeed Si Yuheng.
The female secretary’s gaze shifted as if she noticed something; she raised her hand to point, "Oh right, over there are two students who are the children aided by Mr. Rex."
Liang Anya looked over, and it was a teenage boy and girl, wearing shirts and jeans, they looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, reading under the tree.
She greeted the old principal and the secretary and slowly walked over.
The secretary glanced at Liang Anya’s back and said, "Principal, Mr. Rex forbade us from telling outsiders about his aid to impoverished students over the years. Even people from Beiming Hall don’t know about it. We just told this Miss Liang; is it okay? Will Mr. Rex blame us?"
"REX doesn’t want outsiders to know, but see, is this Asian girl an outsider?" The old principal’s wise eyes smiled, showing the demeanor of someone who understands.
The secretary suddenly nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, REX has secretly carried out his donation affairs for five years, and he can be considered their friend, yet they have never seen him bring a girl to UCC University.
Let alone, he actually let this girl into UCC.
This Asian Miss seems to hold an unusually important position in his mind.

Meanwhile.
Under the tree, the two young people sensed someone approaching and looking at them, lifted their heads, and saw it was a pretty Eastern girl, and couldn’t help but be startled.
The girl was more straightforward, thinking Liang Anya was a fellow student, said gently, "Hello, which class are you in?"
Liang Anya came back to her senses and smiled, "I haven’t joined yet, I might come to attend lectures in the future, so I’m exploring around."
The boy, upon hearing she was a new student, enthusiastically put down his book, "Well, if there’s anything unclear, you can ask us."
Liang Anya nodded and seized the chance to sit down next to them.
Because the three were about the same age, they soon became engrossed in conversation.
During the chat, Liang Anya learned that the two really were new students this year.
The boy studied Law, while the girl was pursuing a degree in Medicine.
Her gaze shifted slightly, feigning nonchalance, "I heard that UCC’s Law and Medicine departments have high tuition fees and are difficult to enter. Especially Medicine, you need to study for at least five years, not counting postgraduate studies later, and the annual expenses are tremendous."
The two students exchanged a glance and didn’t hide much, the boy said, "Our family situation isn’t good, I’m an orphan, her mother passed away from cancer last year, leaving only a father with poor health, we got in thanks to donation funding."
The girl also nodded, "If not for the kind-hearted person who helped us, forget studying, we’d probably be working illegally in some small restaurant right now."
Liang Anya probed, "Do you know who the person helping you is?"
Both shook their heads, "We asked the school, but they won’t say, just mentioning this benefactor has assisted many impoverished students, we aren’t the first. We didn’t inquire further, whoever it is, must be a very kind-hearted philanthropist."
She was a bit perplexed, a philanthropist with a kind heart?
This title, placed on the tyrannical Si Yuheng, doesn’t quite fit.
At this moment, the girl’s voice came through, "My mother died of cancer, and my father’s health is also poor. On the day my mother passed, I swore if I had the chance to study, I would become a doctor, dedicate my life to the medical profession, and strive to conquer cancer. I knew studying medicine was costly; when I learned there was a donation, I was quite hesitant and was ready to give up on the medical field. But the generous person relayed through someone saying it’s okay, if I’m willing to study medicine, he will fully support and sponsor all the expenses."
"Same here," the boy seemed to stir up memories too, his eyes darkened somewhat, "My parents died in a supermarket shooting. That year, I was only five. My parents were just shopping for groceries when they encountered a heartless murderer... That murderer heartlessly took out his frustration on society, shooting twenty plus innocent people in the supermarket... In the end, with the defense from a reputed lawyer combined with mental health reports, ended up sentenced to less than ten years. Twenty plus lives, paid in ten years, huh... I’ve thought long and hard and couldn’t understand such injustice... Later, I decided I want to study law, dedicate my life to ensuring unfair matters receive as fair treatment as possible in society."
Liang Anya was quite moved, and comforted them a bit.
Looking at the two students before her, she vaguely understood why he chose to help impoverished students.
The students he aids are probably around the age he was when he lost his parents.
Their painful experiences, helplessness, and confusion mirror his own from those years.
He helps these youths as if he were helping his past self, compensating for what he lost.
He refuses to see under his watch youths suffering as he did back then.
...
The three were so engrossed in conversation that they remained unaware of the footsteps approaching.
Until a shadow descended, only then did they realize, looking up to see a tall figure standing before them.
