Chapter 110 A Generous Reward! (34)

Da Mimi exclaimed in surprise, her body stiffening for a moment before going limp.

She retorted defiantly, "Oh! I used glue, I signed the form, but I don't get a reward! Unless you make this lady happy today!"

Shen Shandeng couldn't help but joke, "You're all talk and no action, but why is your body so soft?"

Swish!
Shen Shandeng drew the curtains. The cold wind outside was still howling, but inside the small room, only a warm and spring-like atmosphere remained.

And the soft, joyful laughter between lovers.

Office of the Head of the Department of Management at Beijing Film Academy.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting shadows on the mahogany desk.

Yu Jianhong held his teacup, took a sip, and looked at his beloved apprentice Zhou Qifeng sitting opposite him.

After several months of honing his skills on the "Supervisor" project, Zhou Qifeng has clearly shed much of his student-like demeanor, and his expression has become more capable and composed.

"I heard that Shandeng generously distributed a ten million yuan reward at the victory celebration banquet?"

Yu Jianhong put down his teacup, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible envy: "You've been running around doing all this, you've suffered a lot, you must have gained a lot this time, right?"

Zhou Qifeng smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "My senior brother and the producers were kind enough to give me nearly fifty."

Despite being mentally prepared, Yu Jianhong's hand holding the teacup still paused almost imperceptibly upon hearing the number.

Half a million!
In 2007, this was an absolute fortune, enough for a down payment on a house in Beijing!
Even smaller apartments further away can be purchased with full payment upfront!
Before even graduating, you can already buy an apartment in Beijing.

It's equivalent to several years' salary for him
Yu Jianhong was envious; Shen Shandeng's apprentice was taking off too fast!

He suppressed the shock in his heart: "Five hundred thousand? Good heavens! Shan Deng's move is really something! This is your first real pot of gold."

As if remembering something, he reminded him, "Qifeng, what are you planning to do with this money? Not to be nosy, but you need to plan your finances carefully with your girlfriend."

Yu Jianhong phrased it rather euphemistically, but her meaning was very clear.

If you hand it all over, you'll lose both your money and your reputation.

If it were the Zhou Qifeng of the past, he might have stubbornly retorted with a couple of words.

But after experiencing the trials of the small society of the film crew, especially after being influenced by Shen Shandeng, he has clearly matured a lot.

I may not have eaten or seen it myself, but I have seen others eat or see it.

Zhou Qifeng smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I plan to save most of this money, or look for suitable investment opportunities. As for my girlfriend, I'll still give her gifts and spend money on her as usual, but the bulk of our money won't be mixed up until we're talking about marriage. My senior brother also reminded me before that even close brothers should keep clear accounts."

Yu Jianhong said, "Good! Good! That's the right way to think! It seems these past few months haven't been in vain, you've made great progress! Shandeng is indeed very good at leading people."

He sighed, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Come to think of it, I've worked half my life and haven't earned as much as you have from just one film. You're truly a force to be reckoned with."

Zhou Qifeng quickly waved his hand: "Teacher is joking. Your research and teaching achievements cannot be measured by money."

"Teacher, actually, my senior brother has always thought about you too. He is especially grateful for your support and encouragement when 'The Supervisor' was successful."

Yu Jianhong waved his hand: "That's because he's capable. I was just doing my job and saying a few fair words."

“Director Shen is not one to talk the talk,” Zhou Qifeng said. “He mentioned to me that he wanted to donate research funds to our management department, or rather, to your film industry research project, in his father’s name, as a token of his goodwill.”

Yu Jianhong was taken aback: "A donation? Shandeng is too kind, there's no need for that."

"My senior brother said that I must thank him. His initial estimate for the amount is around one million."

Zhou Qifeng came today with a mission, to give his teacher a heads-up beforehand.

"How much?!" Yu Jianhong couldn't help but raise her voice suddenly.

one million? !
This is no small sum! This gesture shocked him even more than the ten million he received at the victory celebration banquet!
This isn't just gratitude, it's practically...
Are you testing him with this?
Zhou Qifeng confirmed, "My senior brother said that he is your student, and only with the support of a pillar like you can there be hope for the future of Chinese cinema. How this money is used is entirely up to you."

Yu Jianhong felt her heart racing and her throat getting dry.

"This, this is too valuable! No, no, absolutely not! How can I accept it? What will people think if word gets out! I appreciate Shan Deng's kindness, but this money..."

Zhou Qifeng seemed to have been prepared: "Teacher, this isn't for you personally! It's a donation to your research project in the name of his father, Uncle Shen, for academic research and talent cultivation. It's a completely compliant donation. Uncle Shen has already agreed."

Having said all that, Yu Jianhong understood perfectly, and her gaze towards Zhou Qifeng changed dramatically. Shen Shandeng had paved the way perfectly, giving him ample face and consideration.

This not only preserved the teacher-student relationship but also silenced all possible gossip and firmly bound him to the management department.

The methods, the strategy, the boldness.
Yu Jianhong sat in the chair, silent for a long time, his heart churning with turmoil.

Shock, joy, and emotion were all expressed.

To be honest, I feel more gratified and joyful.

It was worth all the pressure he faced from all sides!

Yu Jianhong patted Zhou Qifeng on the shoulder heavily and exclaimed, "You've improved! You've really improved!"

"It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent instruction, which encouraged me to listen and observe more. It also relieved us fellow students of our academic worries," Zhou Qifeng said gratefully, then casually gave her a phone number.

Yu Jianhong: "."

"You were prepared all along, good for you," Yu Jianhong said with a laugh.

"Hehe." Zhou Qifeng rubbed his hands together.

Seeing the teacher make a phone call, Zhou Qifeng wisely went out and closed the door behind him.

Yu Jianhong somewhat understood Han Sanping's mindset and why he valued Shen Shandeng so much.

The returns on the investment in Shen Shandeng were both incredibly high and incredibly fast!

Most importantly, it's incredibly rewarding!
Cool!
Yu Jianhong took a deep breath, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the number provided by Zhou Qifeng to Shen Shandeng's father.

The call connected, and Yu Jianhong said, "Hello? Is this Brother Shen? Oh, it's me, Yu Jianhong, from Beijing Film Academy, yes, yes, my teacher in Shandeng. Oh, Brother Shen, you and Shandeng are too kind! How can we accept this! This donation is too generous; we feel unworthy of it!"

The person on the other end of the phone was also very polite.

Yu Jianhong waved his hands repeatedly, even though the other party couldn't see him: "No, no, Brother Shen, this really can't be done. One million is too much. We'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future, let's take it slow. Oh, what are you saying? Shandeng is like my own child, isn't it only right that I support him!"

So and so.

He declined three times and then refused again, going back and forth several times.

Finally, Yu Jianhong said, "Brother Shen, you and Shandeng are really too kind! Alright! Since you've put it this way, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse! On behalf of the Beijing Film Academy's Department of Management, I thank you and Shandeng for your generous support! If there's anything I, Yu Jianhong, can do for you in the future, just let me know! Shandeng's affairs are my affairs!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yu Jian hung up the phone with a radiant smile.

He put down his phone, looked out the window, and remained silent for a long while.

Zhou Qifeng pushed open the door and chuckled as he entered: "My senior brother means that when Uncle Shen comes, he won't show up."

Yu Jianhong shook her head and chuckled, then sighed to Zhou Qifeng, "Qifeng, I really do have a good apprentice! Both of you are!"

Zhou Qifeng nodded in deep agreement.

He was able to study art, and his family was relatively well-off, but the prize money of 48 yuan was still a large sum for his family.

With a senior brother like that, he would do anything Shen Shandeng said!

in the office.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air, and the sunlight shines just right.

Yu Jianhong couldn't be happier; he had a good apprentice, and now he had both prestige and money.

In the afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived: Tian Lili, who had come with a group of people to ask for her help.

Yu Jianhong couldn't resist showing off, because this was something perfectly legitimate.

His apprentice did well, even after he was admitted to graduate school.

"Director Tian, ​​how did you know my apprentice was going to donate some research funds to me? Haha, he's not going to make me treat him to a meal, is he?"
