Chapter 424
To be able to go to school without paying money and get a scholarship to subsidize one’s family if they had good enough grades was an amazing thing.
“Okay, everyone, dismissed. Teachers, please maintain order, and students, please line up to leave. Don’t squeeze!”
After half an hour.
David, Celia, Giselle, and Mr. Johnston were sitting in the conference room of Shu City High.
Since they were having extra classes during the holidays, the school leaders at Shu City High were working on a rotation basis, and today was Mr. Johnston’s turn.
Mr. Johnston looked depressed now.
He should just let them go around and visit the campus, why did he get prompted by a sudden impulse to ask them to speak?
Was he not shooting himself in the foot?
If he did not handle this matter well, it would affect the reputation of the school.
Shu City High was now well-known both in the city and the province.
Once the students at the school spread this information and they failed to follow through oni t, he as the principal would be the one to blame when the higher-ups started looking into the matter.
If the impact was too great, he, the principal, might be forced into an early retirement.
“David, what are you going to do about this scholarship fund?” Mr. Johnston asked.
David looked at the depressed look on Mr. Johnston’s face and then at the worried expression o n Ms. Hans’s face. “Mr. Johnston, Ms. Hans, I know you don’t believe me, and I am going to apologize for not discussing this with you beforehand. To be frank, I also got the idea at the last minute.
“I started my business when I was in college and then I slowly accumulated some wealth. Now, I can fully support this scholarship fund so you can rest assured.
“If you don’t believe me, you should believe Celia, right?
“Celia, tell them,” David turned his head to say to Celia.
“Mr. Johnston, Ms.Hans, David has the money,” Celia said seriously.
Mr. Johnston and Giselle looked at each other and nodded slightly.
They might not believe David, but they still believed everything that Celia said.
After all, she was the leading light in the province.
Also, she was always well-founded and logical when she spoke, unlike David who appeared to have been dropped on the head.
If that was the case, was David loaded now?
How incredible!
It had only been three years and David had reached this stage.
That kid had not yet graduated, right?
What a monster!
Mr. Johnston said, “Um, David, are you serious about establishing that scholarship fund?”
“Of course, not only will I establish a scholarship fund, but I am also going to donate some money to the school for renovations so you can improve the facilities,” David said.
“I-It’ll be such an inconvenience to you.”
“Sir, Shu City High is my alma mater and I also hope that it’ll become better. I’ll hand the matter of the scholarship fund to the school. However, I hope that it will be run practically and honestly.”
“Of course! As the principal of Shu City High, I promise you that the money from the fund will end up in the pockets of every impoverished student,” Mr. Johnston promised.
“That’s good. I’m not worried about your character, Sir. If I was, I wouldn’t do this. Also, I’m going to donate 100 million to the school. It’s not just to renovate the school, it’s also a benefit to the teachers who had worked so hard for the school. As for how it’s going to be distributed, I’ll leave it to the school to decide. I won’t involve myself in it.”
