Chapter 627: I Donate 5 Billion!

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: I Donate 5 Billion!

After Tang Mu stepped down from the stage, the principal took over.

Taking advantage of the heightened emotions, the principal prepared to announce something.

This matter was also the most important event at this alumni meeting.

"Fellow alumni, your presence at our County No. 1 Middle School’s anniversary shows that everyone cherishes their alma mater."

"I believe you all wish for our alma mater to develop and produce more outstanding talents."

"But this cannot be achieved without funding."

"These past few years, the economic situation hasn’t been great. Our school is currently stretching every penny."

"As a middle school, our teaching building doesn’t need to be incredibly luxurious or grand, as this has little impact on the students’ academic performance or their overall development."

"However, the budding success of a student cannot do without other investments. For instance, a library, better educational equipment, higher quality teachers, better study materials..."

"And all these require funding."

"For this anniversary, I, Duan Xiuming, have proposed a ’Donate to Alma Mater’ initiative. Any amount is welcome; just give within your means."

"Donations exceeding ten thousand will be recorded in the School Development Construction Record."

"And if any alumni donate to build something, it will be named after them.

After listening to these words, many alumni beneath the stage offered their opinions.

"So the purpose of this anniversary was to fundraise."

"To be honest, I support donating to the school."

"Yes, it’s also a way to show gratitude to our alma mater. Plus, it’s voluntary; if you’re willing to donate, then donate."

"I have no objections!"

"Neither do I."

"..."

Clearly, nearly ninety-nine percent of the alumni had no significant objections to the matter.

And some even started donating right away.

"I’m Xu Yun from the Class of 2009; I donate thirty thousand!"

"I’m Zhang Feng from the Class of 2011; I donate three thousand!"

"I’m Huang Tao from the Class of 2015; I donate fifty thousand!"

"I’m Chen Jing from the Class of 2015; I donate two thousand."

"..."

These alumni started donating one after another.

However, most of the donations were in the several thousand to tens of thousands range.

Even those like Huang Tao and Chen Jing who were teachers at the school contributed willingly.

All hoped to offer their modest support to their alma mater.

Of course, they gave according to their means.

Everyone simply donated their spare cash.

However, a few people played richer than they were, swelling their faces to appear fat.

They didn’t have much money, but to save face, they donated despite straining their budgets.

Such as Zhang Zhihao!

Zhang Zhihao directly donated two hundred thousand!

That two hundred thousand pained him deeply, but for the sake of his pride, he donated.

And there was Luo Guangyan.

Despite being clothed in designer clothes from head to toe and toting designer bags, she claimed to earn tens of thousands a month. In reality, she hardly had any money.

Or perhaps it was better to say she spent too excessively.

She was of the Moonlight Clan.

At that moment, she had only several thousand yuan in her card.

But donating so little would, she felt, lose face and not fit her identity.

So, she went online and borrowed a hundred thousand, and then she donated!

"Ah ah ah—"

She couldn’t speak, so she found a blank card and wrote on it:

"Luo Guangyan from the Class of 2015 donates one hundred thousand!"

This act touched the school leaders, including the principal.

The principal couldn’t help but emotionally say, "The Class of ’15, Ninth Class indeed each a talent."

After speaking, he turned to face Lin Dong’s former homeroom teacher, Rao Mingsheng, and praised, "Old Rao, you have led good students. All the school’s teachers should learn from you!"

Rao Mingsheng’s face was blooming with joy.

As for Luo Guangyan, she looked smugly in Lin Dong’s direction.

Lin Dong had no clue what she was looking at.

At that moment, a voice like that of a divine messenger sounded.

"Director Duan, I see our school’s library is a bit small and outdated. I shall donate a new library to my alma mater."

This heavenly voice belonged to none other than Tang Mu.

And her words, naturally, caused a sensation.

The principal trembled with excitement.

The school had long planned to build a new library but was always hamstrung by lack of funding. Now, Tang Mu alone pledged to donate an entire library.

The other people also started discussing among themselves.

"Even a small library would cost several million!"

"Didn’t you hear Tang Mu say she wants to build one bigger than before? The previous one already cost several million. To build a bigger one would need at least tens of millions!"

"Tang Mu is truly generous."

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Tang Mu added a sentence.

"This library will be on a fifty-million scale!"

Gasps!

As these words were spoken, everyone was further astonished.

As for the principal, the hand holding the microphone shook with exhilaration.

Below the stage.

Luo Guangyan looked once again towards Lin Dong, her hands gesturing first towards Tang Mu and then towards the sky.

Then she pointed at Lin Dong, and then towards the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Dong felt utterly speechless.

He of course understood what Luo Guangyan was trying to convey.

She was implying that Tang Mu and he, Lin Dong, were worlds apart!

Saying he, Lin Dong, and Tang Mu were not from the same world or something to that effect.

This woman, even when ’mute,’ didn’t forget to express this to Lin Dong. He just couldn’t comprehend what kind of grudge she held against him.

Zhang Zhihao sat behind Lin Dong and now said with a laugh:

"Lin Dong, although you’re not doing too badly yourself right now, you’re still not on the same level as Tang Mu."

"Look at her, straight away donating fifty million!"

"Wonder how much you’re planning to donate?"

"Even I, Zhang Zhihao, have donated two hundred thousand. You, the famed Divine Doctor, should have more money than me, right? Surely you’ll donate more than I did?"

Lin Dong held up five fingers.

"Five hundred thousand?" asked Zhang Zhihao.

Lin Dong shook his head.

"Five million?" Zhang Zhihao’s expression shifted.

Still, Lin Dong shook his head.

Zhang Zhihao’s expression changed drastically, "Fifty... fifty million?"

Lin Dong continued to shake his head and said, "Five hundred million."

"What? Five hundred million?!!!" Zhang Zhihao was first stunned and then burst into hysterical laughter.

"Lin Dong, do you burst if you don’t spout nonsense? I’d believe you if you said you were donating fifty thousand or five hundred thousand."

"But five hundred million? Do you think that’s possible for you to come up with?"

"Do you dare announce your donation amount loudly to the principal?"

Lin Dong simply shrugged his shoulders.

Then, turning towards the principal, he called out loudly:

"Lin Dong from the Class of 2015 donates five hundred million!"

Whoosh!!!

At that declaration, everyone’s gaze turned towards Lin Dong in shock and disbelief.
