Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Not Seeking Name and Profit

"Hello, is this the home of Student Gu? I am a teacher from Capital University. Could I disturb Student Gu for a moment?" A strange male voice came from the phone.

Gu Tingyun guessed that the call was probably related to the desk donation: "This is Gu. How can I assist you?"

Indeed. Within seconds, the man on the other end spoke warmly, "As it stands, Professor Qi informed us that you intend to donate a thousand desks to our school. We gratefully accept your donation and on behalf of our school, I extend our deepest gratitude. Your generous contribution to education is much appreciated."

"You’re welcome." Gu Tingyun wasn’t surprised at all.

With the university entrance examination resuming next year, Capital University would certainly see a large influx of students.

The university had been suspended for ten years and was in need of restoration. As soon as it reopened, countless students would rush to the campus.

The man continued, "Student Gu, if you wouldn’t mind leaving your name? In gratitude to all our donors, we intend to include all donor names on a list, so their benefactions will be remembered by forthcoming generations of students."

Gu Tingyun responded indifferently, "That won’t be necessary. I am only giving back to my country."

"Well said! Since it’s getting late, I won’t intrude on your rest any longer. Thank you very much for supporting our school. Goodbye." After expressing his gratitude once again, the man hung up.

Gu Tingyun placed the handset back on the phone, turned to massage Helian Qiao for a while. When he saw the girl’s frown relax, he whispered, "Guibao, I’m going to the study to talk to grandpa about the desk donation."

"Go, go!" Helian Qiao waved dismissively.

By now, she was no longer feeling uncomfortable and her attention was entirely focused on the television in front of her.

She had perfectly embodied the phrases "burn bridges" and "use and discard."

"You ungrateful girl." Gu Tingyun squeezed her little hand helplessly, then rose and headed for the stairs.

Upon reaching the study on the second floor, Gu Tingyun lightly knocked on the door three times.

"Come in!"

The door was slightly ajar and Grandpa Gu’s steady and deep voice came from inside.

Gu Tingyun pushed the door open to see his grandfather sitting at a desk reading letters. "Grandpa, do you have a moment? I’d like to discuss something with you."

Grandpa Gu put down the letter in his hand and rubbed his eyes, "Go ahead."

"Grandpa, I plan on taking out three thousand yuan from my savings to donate a thousand desks to Capital University." He walked up and went straight to the point about the desks.

Although he was spending his own money, the amount of three thousand was quite significant, so it was necessary to inform his grandfather.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gu nodded slightly, "This is a good thing you’re doing! With the college entrance examination resuming next year, the country will need to cultivate a large number of talents. I will also donate a thousand extracurricular books to Capital University, and we should not publicize this."

Learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds anonymously!

Thinking about this, Grandpa Gu shared some sage’s words, "When we do good deeds, we aim to contribute to the country’s education, not for fame or gain."

"Yes Grandpa, I understand."

Gu Tingyun nodded and said, "I plan to approach the carpentry factory to make the desks tomorrow, and have them deliver directly to the university."

He didn’t like to be conspicuous, so he didn’t plan on leaving his name.

Hearing this, Grandpa Gu’s face revealed no significant emotion, but deep down he felt quite satisfied with his grandson.

Although he did not actively promote stern discipline, he would not readily praise his grandson either. His objective was to keep Gu Tingyun humble and to nurture a calm and balanced temperament.
