Chapter 199: Teachers’ Astonishment (Part 2/2)

“Speaking of Su Xiaoli, she really is outstanding too! It’s just that Tang Feng’s presence sometimes overshadows her. Today, I felt that very clearly. Next time they come, we must pay more attention to Su Xiaoli’s feelings.”

“Before Tang Feng revealed his true capabilities, Su Xiaoli was always the top student in the grade! Not only was her performance stable, but she was also very disciplined! I think when we’re training students, we should indeed take her as a standard! Tang Feng’s kind, we can’t possibly teach!”

“Based on Su Xiaoli’s usual grades, even if she had been admitted to Jingcheng University, she would basically rank very low! She would have had no right to choose her major! Fortunately, in the last period, Tang Feng tutored her, allowing her to achieve such good results! It has to be said, Tang Feng is impressive!”

“Why do you think Tang Feng did this? He completely sacrificed his own time for Su Xiaoli.”

“Isn’t it obvious? Because he likes her! Look, the two of them are together now!”

“I heard they’ve been close since childhood, always had a good relationship! Even when Tang Feng wasn’t doing well in his studies, Su Xiaoli was always good to him! I guess that’s why Tang Feng was willing to help her.”

“Anyway, I hope they have a good relationship and eventually step into the marriage hall. Otherwise, I think many people will be disappointed in love.”

“Don’t worry! They grew up together and know each other inside out! Once they decided to be together, it must have been after very careful consideration.”

“Alright! Let’s stop talking about this! Let’s get back to work!” Mr. He Yong said.

While the teachers were busy discussing, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli returned home.

There was no one at home.

“Where are Uncle Tang and the others?” Su Xiaoli asked as she sat down on the sofa.

“They went to the Emperor Square, and it’ll probably take a while before they return,” Tang Feng replied.

Su Xiaoli’s eyes were fixed on Tang Feng.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s making me a bit nervous,” Tang Feng asked, half jokingly, half genuinely puzzled.

“Did you already have the idea to establish a scholarship at the school before you went this afternoon?” Su Xiaoli inquired.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “I probably wouldn’t have brought it up if Principal Fang hadn’t shown up.”

“So, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision?” Su Xiaoli continued.

“Not exactly,” Tang Feng shook his head again, “I’ve had this idea for a while, just never mentioned it to anyone.”

“I’ve always had such an idea too. It’s just that I haven’t earned that much money yet. To be honest, I was quite excited when you mentioned it to Principal Fang,” Su Xiaoli admitted with a smile.

“Did it feel like a significant achievement?” Tang Feng asked with a grin.

“Of course! I think anyone who earns enough money will have this kind of thought to some extent! The saying goes, ‘When poor, one tends to oneself; when wealthy, one can help the world.’ We also hope to earn respect and recognition from others!” Su Xiaoli responded.

“Do you think fifty million is a lot?” Tang Feng inquired.

“For a high school, fifty million is definitely not a small amount! After all, the total number of students in a high school is just over a thousand!” Su Xiaoli answered.

“In the coming years, the high school will surely expand its enrollment. The number of students at No. 1 Middle School will at least double, maybe even triple. By that calculation, the interest from fifty million won’t be much. When there’s a suitable opportunity later, I’ll donate some more,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

Su Xiaoli nodded, “You’re right! Universities seem to be expanding their enrollment too! Our grade, compared to the one before us, has seen a significant increase in admissions! The expansion of high school enrollment is inevitable.”

Just then, Tang Long and his wife entered, laughing and talking.

Seeing Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli sitting on the sofa, they were somewhat surprised.

“Little Feng! Didn’t you go to the school to visit your teachers? Why are you back so early?” Tang Feng’s Mother asked with a smile.

“We stayed in the teachers’ office for a while, then sat in the principal’s office for a bit. All in all, it was less than two hours,” Tang Feng replied.

“We took our relatives to the Emperor Square’s basement level! They all thought the location was excellent, though the concept of a basement level seemed a bit odd to them,” Tang Long said.

“People in our family have rarely seen a basement, so they think the basement level isn’t great! But I don’t think so! I find the basement level’s location exceptionally good! Customers just need to park their cars and then can walk right in! Very convenient! If it were on the first floor, it would take a lot more steps! Many customers might choose not to visit the supermarket just because of those few extra steps,” Tang Feng explained.

“There’s also a vacant lot opposite, rumored to be up for auction. Little Feng, do you think we could buy it and build a commercial building?” Tang Long discussed with his son.

Tang Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing his father’s words.

He was very clear in his mind that it wouldn’t take long for Emperor Square to become the most bustling area in Binjiang District.

Taking advantage of the supermarket not yet opening, if they could buy the vacant lot, even if they did nothing with it, they could make a significant profit.

Of course, if they built a commercial building as his father suggested, they could earn even more.

“I think it’s a good idea,” Tang Feng nodded, “You can inquire further to see how much they plan to sell the land for. If the price is right, let’s buy it.”

“Okay! I’ll get on this as soon as possible,” Tang Long said.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Tang Feng’s mother called out.

“Sister-in-law, it’s me! Su Gang!” the visitor responded.

“Why is my dad here?” Su Xiaoli was surprised.

Tang Long hurried to open the door.

“Brother Tang!” Su Gang greeted.

“Did you just get off work?” Tang Long asked, examining him.

“Yes!” Su Gang nodded, “I just heard the news that Little Feng plans to establish a scholarship at Binjiang No. 1 Middle School, so I came to verify.”

“Establishing a scholarship! Is that true?” Tang Long and his wife’s gaze fell on their son.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “We decided on it this afternoon when we met with Principal Fang at the school.”

“How much money is needed to establish this scholarship?” Tang Long asked.

“The amount of the scholarship has no limit! I plan to contribute fifty million,” Tang Feng replied.

“Fifty million! My goodness! That’s a lot of money!” Tang Long and his wife couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Fifty million is the principal amount, which is untouchable. The scholarship money given to the students each year will come from the interest on this money. So, it’s not that much,” Tang Feng explained briefly.

“But fifty million is coming directly from you. Little Feng, I know it’s easy for you to make money, but you should still be cautious when spending it. After all, this money didn’t come from the wind,” Tang Feng’s Mother earnestly advised.

“I have a clear understanding. Fifty million, to me, really isn’t much. But for many students at Binjiang No. 1 Middle School, it could potentially change their destinies. I’m willing to use this money to help them achieve a better future,” Tang Feng said seriously, his expression solemn.

Su Xiaoli looked at him, her eyes filled with admiration!

For her, what Tang Feng was doing was very much to her liking.

“Little Feng, is there going to be a ceremony for establishing the scholarship?” Su Gang inquired.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded, “Principal Fang needs to report to the higher-ups, and then the date for establishing the scholarship will be set. The relevant leaders will definitely attend.”

“Can we go then?” Tang Long eagerly asked.

“Of course! Why not! Uncle Su, if you have time, you’re also welcome to come along,” Tang Feng offered.

“Great! I’ll go too! Maybe I can get to know some of the District leaders,” Su Gang readily agreed.

Although his current business was doing well, he rarely had the chance to meet the main leaders of the District.

If he could establish connections with these leaders, many things would become simpler.

“Uncle Su! Please sit here for a while! I’ll prepare the food,” Tang Feng said, heading to the kitchen.

“I’ll help you!” Su Xiaoli followed.

“Xiaoli, you’re a guest, how can we let you cook?” Tang Feng’s Mother quickly stopped her.

“Auntie, look what you’re saying! I’ve been with Feng for so long, we’re already family!” Su Xiaoli chuckled.

Seeing her say so, Tang Feng’s Mother no longer insisted.

Tang Long and his wife got busy in the kitchen.
