Chapter 562 Shocks the Entire School: A Teaching Building to be Donated?

While Wang Jing and others were visiting the old campus of Huizhou College, accompanied by Dean Yan Fang and others, Wang Jing and others were also there.

Rumors are already circulating in many offices on campus.

For example, in an office in the Department of Economics and Management, several professors and teachers were discussing this matter.

A stylishly dressed female teacher had just come in from outside when she lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Hey! Do you know what the dean and the others are doing?"

With just one sentence, he drew the attention of the three professors and teachers in the office.

The first to speak was a male teacher in his early thirties. He pushed up his glasses and asked curiously, "You know? You know what the dean and the others are doing?"

The other two professors remained silent, but their curious gazes were fixed on the female teacher who had just entered.

Seeing that no one knew, the female teacher couldn't help but show a smug look on her face. She continued to lower her voice and said, "The dean and the others are receiving Cao Sheng's secretary. You know Cao Sheng, right? He's the pride of our Economics and Management Department! The student who wrote a novel in his freshman year and had it published in Taiwan!"

Before he finished speaking, the two professors and the male teacher all showed expressions of surprise.

If you only mention the name "Cao Sheng," they might not immediately recognize who he is.

But if we're talking about the pride of the Economics and Management Department, that student who wrote a novel in his freshman year and published it in Taiwan, not just those few, but probably everyone in the entire Huizhou College knows who "Cao Sheng" is.

The female professor, around fifty years old, raised an eyebrow slightly and said in surprise, "Really? What is the dean's status? He might personally receive Cao Sheng, but how could he personally receive Cao Sheng's secretary? Professor Fang, you're not mistaken, are you?"

The gray-haired male professor nodded in agreement, "Exactly! How could the dean possibly entertain a student's secretary?"

Ms. Fang, the female teacher who had just brought up the topic, chuckled, pulled out her chair, sat down, picked up her teacup, and made a gesture as if to drink. "The two professors are right! Under normal circumstances, the dean and the others would certainly not personally receive Cao Sheng's secretary, but do you know what Cao Sheng's secretary brought to our school today?"

The male teacher couldn't help but press, "What did she bring?"

The two professors were also intrigued.

Ms. Fang took a leisurely sip of tea, put down her teacup, cleared her throat, and seeing her three colleagues looking at her curiously, she smiled and said, "This secretary has brought an entire teaching building to our school today! Do you think the dean and the others wouldn't personally receive her?"

"what?"

"What do you think she brought?"

"jiaoxuelou? Teacher Fang! What three characters are you referring to as jiaoxuelou? You're not making this up, are you?"

The two professors and one male teacher were all stunned.

Can't believe my ears.

Can you carry those things in the teaching building with you?

If it were truly portable, wouldn't Cao Sheng's secretary be some kind of Ultraman? The kind whose palm could hold a school building?
With a broad smile, Ms. Fang wasn't in a hurry to answer. After observing the surprised expressions on her three colleagues' faces, she smiled reservedly, as if she were the one about to donate a teaching building. "Gentlemen! I'm not making this up. According to reliable sources, Cao Sheng, this student, wants to donate a teaching building to our school. His secretary came to our school today to discuss this matter with our dean and the others on his behalf. Don't you think she's practically bringing a teaching building with her? Hehe."

The three colleagues were so shocked they couldn't speak.

The three looked at each other, and finally, the male teacher swallowed hard. "Really? Cao Shengcai hasn't been out of school for long, has he? And he's already donating a teaching building to our school? Is he that rich now?"

The female professor sighed and said with emotion, "He graduated only a few months ago, but he published a novel in his freshman year. In the past few years, he has been writing novels and screenplays. Was it last year or the year before? The news reported that he earned more than 100 million yuan in a year. Oh, I remember the news also reported that he bought three buildings in Shenzhen. He can afford to buy three buildings. If he really wants to, he can really donate a teaching building!"

The male professor leaned back in his chair, looking dazed, and said with a sigh, "Cao Sheng... this student is probably the most outstanding student in the history of our school! It's rare that he has become successful and still remembers to give back to his alma mater. If our school had more students like him, it would probably have been upgraded to a formal university long ago!"

Every junior college dreams of becoming a full-fledged university.

Huizhou College naturally shares this dream.

The school's predecessor was Tunxi Normal School, founded in 1965.

At that time, the task was to train primary school and kindergarten teachers, as well as to provide rotational training for education cadres.

It was later renamed Huizhou Normal School.

In 1978, it was upgraded to Huizhou Normal College and officially took on the task of recruiting students for higher education institutions.

after that……

It was upgraded to a provincial-level higher normal school.

It was formed by merging three schools and became what many people now know as Huizhou Teachers College, which was recently upgraded to Huizhou University.

Every step of the way has been difficult for all the veteran teachers at this school.

However, the entire faculty and student body are still not satisfied with this situation.

Everyone is hoping for further upgrades.

It has been upgraded to a "university" in the eyes of the public.

……

That noon, Cao Sheng's former counselor, Lu Xiangwei, also heard this rumor.

Surprised, he immediately dialed Cao Sheng's number.

Cao Sheng was having lunch at the time.

Cao Sheng was not surprised to receive Lu Xiangwei's call. He knew that Wang Jing would be taking people to Huizhou College today to discuss the donation of a teaching building. His former teachers and alumni would most likely call or text him to inquire about the matter once they heard the news.

really……

"Cao Sheng! I heard you're going to donate a teaching building to our school? Is that true?"

Lu Xiangwei's inquiry came through the phone.

Cao Sheng calmly hummed in agreement, his chopsticks still in his hand, as he picked up a piece of bok choy and put it in his mouth to chew.

Lu Xiangwei: "You, you're rich now? A teaching building costs a lot of money, how can you be so willing to spend it?"

Cao Sheng smiled upon hearing this and said calmly, "Teacher! Didn't you tell us back then that if we disliked our country, we should study hard and help build it up? I don't have the ability to build a school building, but I still have the money."

Did I say that?

In an office at the school, Lu Xiangwei frowned, trying to recall when he had said those words.

He thought about it, but had no recollection of it at all.

Because he never actually said that.

However, since Cao Sheng said so, then I must have said it, right?

Thinking this, he blinked and changed the subject, "So, you've always thought our school was bad?"

What do you think?

Cao Sheng held back and didn't ask the question.

"Teacher! I just feel that our school is not good enough and there is room for improvement. What do you think?"

"Uh, yes! Yes! You're right!"

After a pause, Lu Xiangwei continued, "Hey, why didn't you tell me about something this big? I could have helped with the errands; I have some connections at the school..."

At this moment, Lu Xiangwei's feelings were quite complicated.

He had always regarded Cao Sheng as his prized student. Now that his prized student wanted to give back to his alma mater and donate a teaching building to the school, he, as the counselor, felt completely uninvolved and was very disappointed.

Cao Sheng didn't think that much about it.

He has been spending most of his time and energy on writing lately, and it was already a rare treat for him to find time to talk to Wang Jing about this matter.

Who has time to think about so many interpersonal issues?
The reason he thought of having Wang Jing contact Wu Chengping, the former department head, was because he felt that Wu Chengping, as the department head, should be able to speak with the school leaders.

And what about Lu Xiangwei?
Even after being promoted, I was only the deputy director of the Department of Economics and Management.

They may not even have the opportunity to report directly to school leaders on a regular basis.

Shortly after Cao Sheng finished his phone call with Lu Xiangwei, he received another call from Guan Jincheng, his advisor during his undergraduate years.

Over the phone, Guan Jincheng also confirmed with him whether he really wanted to donate a teaching building to the school.

Although Cao Sheng also worked under Guan Jincheng for two years, his closeness to Guan Jincheng was far less than that between him and Lu Xiangwei.

There are three main reasons.

First, before his rebirth, he had spent three years in the class managed by Lu Xiangwei. In total, he had spent six years before and after his rebirth. Even if we exclude the internship period, he still had five years left.

Before his rebirth, he had no connection with Guan Jincheng.

After his rebirth, excluding the six-month internship period, he actually only spent a year and a half in the class managed by Guan Jincheng.

two is……

In the original timeline, when he was studying in Lu Xiangwei's class, he was always unknown, but Lu Xiangwei took good care of him back then.

After his rebirth, he went on to study at a four-year university, and by the time he was in Guan Jincheng's class, he was already known throughout the school as "Zhongyuan Yidianhui" (a nickname implying a certain level of talent).

After becoming famous, it becomes very difficult to make true friends.

The same applies to his relationship with his counselor, Guan Jincheng. Even though Guan Jincheng treated him well during his two years of undergraduate studies, all the teachers, students, and leaders at the school were also very kind to him during those two years. How could he tell who was sincere and who was not?
three……

As a reborn individual, his mental age is already over forty.

People of this age are hard to be moved.

In his eyes, Guan Jincheng was just a young man.

Therefore, his respect for Kwan Kam-ching was merely out of politeness.

That's why, when he spoke with Guan Jincheng on the phone, they didn't discuss anything in depth. They chatted politely for a while and then hung up politely.

……

That afternoon.

As usual, Cao Sheng was typing away at his computer in his study.

Huizhou College.

Wang Jing and others, along with Dean Yan and others, formally discussed the matter of donating and building a teaching building.

This morning, they didn't discuss any serious business. Instead, they took Wang Jing and the others to visit the old and new campuses of Huizhou University. At noon, they also had lunch together and drank a few glasses of wine.

We only started talking about serious business in the afternoon.

at the same time.

Tan Yu sat in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to start the lesson.

After a while.

A female English teacher, not yet 30, walked into the classroom with a smile, carrying her lesson plan and teacup. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was rhythmic.

The classroom quickly quieted down.

The female teacher walked up to the podium, put down her lesson plan and teacup. She had a beautiful face and a pair of lovely crescent-shaped eyes that made her seem to always have a smile in them.

At this moment, her smiling eyes swept from the left to the right of the classroom, and then from the right to the left. She saw admiration in the eyes of many boys.

She noticed this when she first came to teach this class.

Many boys in school are like that.

As long as the female teacher is beautiful enough, she becomes their object of fantasy.

At this moment, the female teacher cleared her throat and laughed, "Dear students, you may stare at me every day, but I will never be yours!"

Many students looked surprised.

Laughter erupted in the classroom.

The girls turned around and scrutinized the expressions of the boys in the class with varying degrees of interest.

Some boys silently lowered their heads.

Some boys also curiously observed the expressions of the other boys.

Female teacher: "Unless you can achieve success at a young age like your senior Cao Sheng, then you might actually have a chance to have a blush-inducing romance with me. Don't you think that makes sense?"

"Has this woman gone mad?"

"What's wrong with Teacher Xu today? What triggered her?"

"Could it be that she confessed her feelings to Cao Sheng and got rejected?"

"Is she possessed?"

……

Whispers filled the classroom.

Teacher Xu's words were really too abrupt and too explosive.

They actually said that if everyone could achieve success like Senior Cao Sheng, they would have the chance to have a blush-inducing romance with her...

Teacher-student relationships are a taboo!

Some of the whispers reached the ears of Teacher Xu on the podium.

Teacher Xu didn't seem to mind, and even smiled slightly as she scanned everyone with her eyes, continuing, "Do you know why I suddenly brought up Senior Cao Sheng with you?"

Tan Yu, who sat in the fifth row of the classroom, had been listening intently and staring at Teacher Xu ever since she mentioned Cao Sheng's name.

She also suspected that Ms. Xu might have confessed her feelings to Cao Sheng in private and been rejected.

At this moment, all the students' curiosity was piqued, and the classroom quickly quieted down as curious eyes turned to Teacher Xu.

Teacher Xu was very satisfied with everyone's expressions. "Because just as I was saying these words to you, your senior Cao Sheng's secretary was leading people to discuss the important matter of donating a teaching building to our school with our dean, vice dean, and other school leaders!"

"what?"

Holy crap! Really? A donation of a school building?

"Wow, they're so rich! They actually donated a whole building?"

"Senior Cao Sheng? Is he the novelist?"

"Ah Hui is awesome!"

……

Tan Yu was also stunned.

She never expected Cao Sheng to be so generous. She knew he was rich, but... how rich would he have to be to be willing to donate a teaching building to his alma mater?

—You always say you'll give me hundreds of millions, but... you donate a teaching building to the school. What happened to the hundreds of millions you promised? I'd rather have just a teaching building!

The thought flashed through Tan Yu's mind uncontrollably.
