The middle-aged man in front of him had inherited Tu Liguo's scholarly deanor. As soon as he entered, he mumbled, "We need to raise over a million in sponsorships. Where are we supposed to get that from?"
After complaining, he plopped down on the sofa and only then noticed Ye Feng sitting nearby. He nodded as a form of greeting.
The middle-aged man was nad Tu Jiazhong, Tu Liguo's son. Coming from a family of teachers, he followed in his father's footsteps and also beca a teacher.
When Ye Feng was in high school, Tu Jiazhong wasn't teaching at Liancheng Experintal High School. He was transferred here only in the past two years.
So, Ye Feng knew Mr. Tu had a son, but he never had the chance to et him and felt quite unfamiliar with him.
Tu Liguo quickly introduced the two of them.
Then, Tu Liguo asked the sighing Tu Jiazhong, "Jiazhong, what's wrong?"
Tu Jiazhong sighed and slowly said, "Dad, you know our school is planning to build a new teaching building, right?"
Although Tu Liguo was retired, he was aware of this matter.
"The school just held a eting, saying there's still a funding gap of over ten million for the new building. They've assigned tasks to us teachers to seek sponsorships from forr students."
Tu Jiazhong explained slowly.
This seed a bit unfair to Tu Jiazhong, as he had only been working at the school for two or three years.
He hadn't had the chance to nurture many students yet, and even if he had, they were still in college and hadn't graduated.
Where was he supposed to find sponsorships?
This made him frown, silently cursing the principal for being unreasonable.
Despite his complaints, he still had to find a way to complete the assigned task. Otherwise, if he ended up at the bottom and got nad by the principal, it would be too embarrassing.
This was why he deliberately sighed in front of Tu Liguo, hoping his father could help.
Sure enough, Tu Liguo frowned. Having taught at this school for a long ti, he was well aware of the routine.
Although seeking sponsorships didn't have much to do with the job itself, it greatly affected the year-end performance evaluations.
In the past, Tu Liguo had also been assigned such tasks. That year, Ye Feng generously donated ten million.
At the ti, he gained significant face in the school, and his performance evaluations were all rated excellent, with bonuses much higher than in previous years.
"Dad, can you reach out to your forr students and help get so sponsorships for the school?" Tu Jiazhong asked eagerly, seeing hope in his father's expression.
Tu Liguo almost rolled his eyes. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "I can reach out to so of my forr students, but I can't guarantee how much help they'll be."
Tu Liguo sighed, ultimately deciding to help his son.
In fact, the school had already initiated the sponsorship drive. Many of Tu Liguo's forr students were doing well, but so of his contemporaries hadn't retired yet.
By this ti, many students might have already given their sponsorships to other teachers.
And since Tu Liguo was retired, it was difficult for him to compete with forr colleagues for sponsorships.
This was not an easy task for him either.
If he hadn't retired, many students might have given him more face and contributed sothing.
But now, it seed a bit difficult!
Even Ye Feng, sitting nearby, could see this.
However, Tu Jiazhong didn't fully understand. Hearing that Tu Liguo agreed to help, he showed a look of joy.
In his subconscious, he believed that his father's status among students was far higher than his own.
In this regard, Tu Jiazhong felt he could never compare to his father.
After getting his father's agreent, Tu Jiazhong soon left.
Tu Liguo sat there, looking a bit troubled, letting out a deep breath as a flash of disappointnt crossed his face.
Ye Feng keenly noticed his teacher's difficulty. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "Teacher, how about I help you get so sponsorships?"
In the past, Ye Feng was very enthusiastic about sponsoring the school's construction projects.
Later, he beca sowhat resistant.
Back then, Ye Feng donated ten million, and the school leaders treated him like a god of wealth.
They held a grand welco ceremony and even had a permanent display in the school's cultural corridor, highlighting Ye Feng's outstanding contributions.
The teaching building was even nad Wenfeng Building in his honor.
But!
The mont Ye Feng was imprisoned, the school almost overnight removed the display from the cultural corridor.
The golden letters on the teaching building were also taken down, eager to sever all ties with Ye Feng.
To them, Ye Feng was no longer a source of pride but a disgrace.
When Ye Feng visited the school again, he felt a bit resentful after learning about this. His previous enthusiasm for his alma mater instantly turned cold.
However, upon reflection, he found it understandable. After all, the school didn't know the truth and thought he had committed heinous cris.
Moreover, the school didn't kick him when he was down or use him as a negative example. They simply erased his information quietly.
By now, Ye Feng had co to terms with it. After all, he didn't donate the money expecting anything in return from the school.
He just wanted to give back to the school, hoping to provide students with a better learning environnt.
Hearing this, Tu Liguo's eyes deepened. If it were the old Ye Feng making such an offer, he would have believed it without question. But now, it seed a bit difficult for Ye Feng to sponsor the school.
Ye Feng understood what Tu Liguo was thinking and quickly said, "I may not have the money to sponsor directly, but I still have so connections. I can get so companies to sponsor the school."
Ye Feng didn't want to publicize that he was the chairman of Yunfeng Group, so he told a little lie to Tu Liguo.
As the leading enterprise in Liancheng City, Yunfeng Group allocates a fund every year for local education and charity projects.
This fund amounts to several million each year, but with so many schools in the city, it's a case of too many monks and too little porridge.
Which school can secure the funds depends on their own abilities.
This ti, the construction of the experintal school's teaching building didn't secure sponsorship from Yunfeng Group.
Tu Liguo's expression relaxed.
"Ye Feng, you don't have to feel pressured. If you can get sponsorships, that's great. If not, it's fine," Tu Liguo said candidly, not placing any pressure on Ye Feng.
He didn't pin his hopes on Ye Feng and planned to promote the sponsorship drive among his forr students.
Ye Feng nodded, not forcing the issue.
After chatting for a while longer, Ye Feng took his leave.
By then, the rain outside had stopped, but the cold wind still blew, making the leaves in the school dance.
Ye Feng returned ho and checked his phone. As expected, Tu Liguo had posted a ssage.
He ntioned that the school still had a funding gap for the teaching building and hoped that students who were able could provide so sponsorship.
Although the ssage was posted in a group, it was generally aid at those who were doing well.
Those who weren't doing well usually chose to ignore such ssages.
Originally, he thought the ssage would sink without a trace, but He Chunqing replied.
"Mr. Tu, I've already finalized my personal sponsorship with Mr. Chen!"
He quickly followed up confidently, "Mr. Tu, if you need, I can secure so education funds from Yunfeng Group!"
