Chapter 93 - Mr. Su You Are Here too
“The school has supported you as a matter of course, and we don't expect anything in return.”
Principal Ding swiftly declined.
“Principal Ding, you're mistaken. You've worked tirelessly. As students, it's our duty to give back. Moreover, this money isn't for you personally; it's for the school and the future generations of students.”
Han Peng pretended to be indignant.
“Very well, then I'll express my gratitude on behalf of the school.”
Principal Ding sighed and feigned helplessness. “Students, let's give our seniors a round of applause.”
Amidst the applause of his fellow students, Principal Ding examined the check more closely, and his eyes widened.
“One million! Thank you, Student Han!”
“You're welcome, Principal Ding. Lately, my company has been facing some financial constraints, and this one million yuan is just a small contribution. When my company's funds become available, I'll make another donation.”
“Certainly!”
Principal Ding nodded with a smile.
“Young Master Han is truly remarkable. He just donated one million yuan.”
“I only earn 100,000 yuan annually. He donated ten years' worth of my income in one go.”
“We can't even compare. I wonder if Young Master Han has a girlfriend now.”
“Even if he does, so what? Wealthy men can have multiple partners.”
Many of the girls sitting near Su Ming couldn't help but whisper.
Some of the distinguished guests and parents couldn't help but be a bit astonished.
This wasn't a trivial sum; it was a total of one million.
What did it signify for someone to donate one million? It indicated that their wealth far exceeded that amount. One million was a mere fraction to them.
Han Peng had come here today to display his wealth. He felt a surge of pride when he noticed the envious glances from his peers.
This was the exact scene he had hoped for.
Furthermore, he couldn't help but glance at Su Ming.
How did it feel?
Su Ming had always been at odds with him during their youth, and now the disparity between them was evident.
Back then, as youngsters, they hadn't comprehended the true value of money.
“Let's express our gratitude to Student Han for his generous donation. We have another guest!”
Han Peng represented the younger generation, while the next person was from the middle-aged generation.
This individual was around forty years old, with a few strands of white hair and a neatly dressed attire. Despite the hot weather, he wore a shirt and suit pants, appearing remarkably vibrant.
He stepped up to the podium, offering a faint smile. “Young Han's generosity at such a young age is truly admirable. I'm in awe. I'll contribute 2 million.”
His announcement didn't elicit a significant reaction.
After all, he was relatively older, and his career had already peaked.
People knew that he worked in the banking sector and held a senior executive position.
Two million yuan meant little to him.
Han Peng, on the other hand, was only in his twenties and had just started his career, yet he had already donated one million yuan.
As Han Peng aged, his accomplishments were bound to be impressive.
Although the response from the audience was relatively subdued, Principal Ding was still elated.
He had just secured three million in donations at once.
This amount of money would enable him to upgrade the school's equipment and carry out some basic renovations.
Furthermore, he stood to receive a share of the donation.
“Mr. Zhang, we appreciate your generous contribution,” Principal Ding addressed Zhang Chongyang with a warm smile.
Principal Ding stepped closer to Zhang Chongyang and continued, “Your support means a lot to us.”
Zhang Chongyang responded modestly, “It's the least I can do.”
Many individuals found it meaningful to give back to their alma mater. Not only did it enhance their public image, but there was also the prospect of having a commemorative plaque displayed at the school's entrance.
Some people accumulated wealth from undisclosed sources, even tainted money. Oftentimes, they chose to donate such funds.
As Zhang Chongyang spoke, he suddenly noticed someone in the crowd.
The person struck a familiar chord with him.
Zhang Chongyang scrutinized the individual more closely and was taken aback.
It was Mr. Su!
So, he and Mr. Su were actually former classmates!
Without delay, Zhang Chongyang released Principal Ding's hand and made his way swiftly through the crowd.
The audience below the stage, as well as those in the VIP section, were bewildered.
What was happening?
Several people stood up, attempting to get a better view of the situation.
Breathless, Zhang Chongyang arrived in front of Su Ming, who was grinning. He inquired, “Mr. Su, what brings you here?”
Su Ming responded with a faint smile. Zhang Chongyang worked under President Chen and held the position of vice president at Tianhua Bank.
“Mr. Su, I had no idea you were a fellow graduate of this elementary school. It's an honor.”
Zhang Chongyang extended his hand for a handshake with Su Ming.
When he was pulling weeds, he was just an employee at the bank, working diligently.
He had diligently climbed the ranks.
“I'm equally surprised,” Su Ming said with a subtle smile. “They're all waiting for you.”
Vice President Zhang shook his head vehemently.
He couldn't miss this opportunity.
The donation had already been made, and now all he needed to do was accompany Mr. Su.
“Mr. Su, it's quite warm here. Would you consider joining me in the VIP section?”
“No need, here is perfectly fine,” Su Ming replied with a smile.
Zhang Chongyang looked around and spotted a large parasol nearby. He fetched the parasol and approached Su Ming, placing it behind him.
A hush fell over the crowd.
People were taken aback.
Vice President Zhang was actually holding an umbrella for a young man?
The entire assembly fell silent.
Everyone was left stunned.
Zhang Chongyang's actions raised eyebrows.
There was no doubt that Su Ming held a significant status!
