A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

Chapter 1233 Sponsorship
Cooperation based on personal relationships is unsustainable and will never be transparent.

However, if cooperation is obtained through corporate donations, then the situation is different.

Universities need hardware support, but it's not an easy thing to get government funding.

A little money is nothing to a single rose.

Similarly, what's difficult to find in a place like a rose is not a problem for universities.

This matter was orchestrated behind the scenes by Lu Miao, and all three parties—the company, the university, and the students—benefited.

Lu Yuanzheng, the president of Renmin University, is even more so.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination system, the educational courses of various universities have entered a stable stage in recent years.

In this situation, the next step to be put on the agenda is to gradually update the various facilities.

We must not only ensure that students learn something, but also improve the quality of their learning and life, allowing them to learn in a good environment.

With insufficient public funds at hand, Lu Yuanzheng had been troubled for some time because he was not good enough at this or that.

This matter did relieve his immediate crisis, and there was some progress in the renovation.

The seal on Renmin University was removed in the first year before the resumption of the college entrance examination.

At that time, apart from repairing the walls and tiles of the teaching building, Lu Yuanzheng only allocated the limited funds to repair the canteen and student dormitory.

But the repairs are only enough to fix the surface; some internal issues remain unaddressed.

For example, in terms of heating facilities.

Winters in the north are cold and long, and some universities and government departments had already connected to centralized heating systems in the early stages.

However, Renmin University had been closed for many years, and its facilities were left unmaintained.

After classes resumed, the heating pipes remained out of service due to various reasons such as rust and rot.

When Chen Xiangdong learned about this when he went to the school to sign the contract manufacturing agreement with Lu Yuanzheng, he immediately had an idea.

However, Chen Xiangdong was only the nominal person in charge of the company; in reality, he was just one of many small shareholders.

He has ideas, but he can't really make decisions.

So after returning from Renmin University, Chen Xiangdong immediately called Lu Miao to tell her about it.

"Sister-in-law, here's the situation. I think Uncle wants to repair the heating pipes, but he's short on funds..."

Chen Xiangdong revealed his thoughts over the phone:

"When I came back from school, I asked some knowledgeable friends about it. The cost of repairing this thing is linked to the area. Renmin University covers a large area, and if we were to repair all of the dozens of buildings, it would cost at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. We definitely can't afford that much money, but if we only repair the dormitories for teachers and students, we can grit our teeth and sponsor them for around 100,000 yuan per unit."

The Chinese language is profound and extensive; in just a few words, Lu Miao had already gleaned a wealth of information.

Outsourcing agreements are mutually beneficial.

But if the other party had signed the agreement with someone else, there probably wouldn't have been so many follow-ups.

Chen Xiangdong included Lu Yuanzheng in his group because of Lu Miao.

Lu Yuanzheng is currently facing this thorny issue.

Just like before, when Lu Miao used his connections, Renmin University was willing to sign a contract to solve their problems.

A gentleman helps others achieve their goals, and Chen Xiangdong is willing to contribute in return.

And the scope of this force has already been defined.

The issue of cochineal pigment powder has been resolved. Everyone can earn money together, and any expenses incurred will be shared through the company's accounts.

As the largest shareholder, Lu Miao naturally has the largest share.

The remaining portion, including tables, chairs, broadcasting equipment, etc., totals 150,000 yuan. Based on the company's shareholding, Chen Xiangdong's share of the expenditure is at least 10,000 yuan.

How many people outside had ten thousand yuan at that time? Ten thousand yuan is no small sum. As a friend and a partner, Chen Xiangdong was quite generous.

Most importantly, Chen Xiangdong has both expressed his intentions and maintained boundaries, and so far it has only been a proposal.

Ultimately, the decision was left to Lu Miao.

This can solve the problem Lu Yuanzheng is facing.

Since Lu Miao, as the daughter, knew about this matter and now had this opportunity, with Chen Xiangdong even offering a solution, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

But one code equals another.

The work needs to be done, but how to do it requires further careful consideration...

After a brief pause, Lu Miao said:

"I'll think about this first and not rush into a decision. I also need to talk to Gu Ying and the others about this and ask for their opinions."

Gu Ying and others hold relatively few shares, so they may not have decision-making power in matters like this, but they certainly have the right to know.

Chen Xiangdong understood and responded:
"Sister-in-law, I'll go to a meeting with them tonight."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey..."

Chen Xiangdong held the microphone in one hand and rubbed the back of his head with the other. He was about to say something like, "We're all making big money together, let's not talk about those polite words," but he hadn't even opened his mouth yet!

The microphone was already giving a busy signal.

It's obvious what happened.

It must be that his sixth brother thought his endless chatter was disturbing his sister-in-law's rest, so he forcibly hung up the phone.

Chen Xiangdong glanced at the microphone, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and hung it back on the landline. He then said goodbye to Meizi and headed to the back of the market.

Chen Xiangdong bought two jin of melon seeds and dried fruit and began preparing for the small meeting that evening.

On the other side, in the hospital.

Although Lu Miao has recovered well recently, he has been pondering these matters these past few days, trying to find the best solution, and he is finding it difficult to think about it.

She was feeling unwell after talking to Chen Xiangdong on the phone and went to bed without eating dinner.

Fu Jingyou stayed by his side, feeling extremely distressed.

When she woke up again at night, Fu Jingyou set aside the small table and took the thermos that Liu Xiaozhu had just brought to feed her.

Lu Miao sat up, leaning against the pillow.

As soon as the food was placed on the table, she stirred it with a spoon and asked:
Where did the shark fin come from?

Fu Jingyou glanced at it and explained:

“Ma Tou said it was sent by Mr. Cheng from Hong Kong. They said it’s similar to snow frog and bird’s nest, and that it’s good for you. So your aunt got some for you to try first.”

Lu Miao nodded gently and slowly began to eat with the small spoon.

The dried shark fin has a very mild flavor, with no obvious fishy or umami taste, only the slight saltiness unique to seafood.

But it doesn't matter.

The congee is made with a base of chicken broth, and then cooked with shrimp and scallops.

To make it easier for her to digest, the shark fin, which should have been chewy, was stewed until it was soft and tender. One bite was slightly salty with a fresh taste, and a faint sweetness followed by a lingering aftertaste.

Despite his poor appetite, Lu Miao was able to taste some of the flavor.

Normally, even if forced to eat, I can only manage a small portion of a bowl, but this time I finished the whole bowl.
