Chapter 108: Not Strong Enough

Yesterday, Shen Sangyu and He Huai agreed to go to Qin Duanshan to ask for research funds, but she was too tired last night and overslept.

When she went downstairs, He Huai had been standing at the bottom of the building for an unknown period of time.

It hasn’t snowed in the city this year, but the cold wind was still biting.

He Huai’s face was a little dry and cracked, and he shook his feet from time to time.

Shen Sangyu looked apologetic: “He Huai, how long have you been waiting? I overslept.”

He Huai had been waiting for half an hour. He probably knew that Shen Sangyu couldn’t get up in the morning in winter.

Not only was he not angry, he smiled and said: “I just came for a while. Where’s your scarf? Hurry up and put it on.”

Shen Sangyu came in a hurry and came down after a simple wash.

He Huai reminded her and found that her neck was a little cold. At this moment, the wind blew and she couldn’t help shrinking her neck.

“Wait for me, I’ll go back and tidy up.”

He Huai was helpless: “Take your time, I’m not in a hurry.”

However, Shen Sangyu was still very fast and came downstairs in a short while, with a blue scarf hanging around her neck.

The two went to the office together.

Because the topic had been selected, Qin Duanshan had been waiting in the office for students to come and apply for funding.

Everyone came early, and when Shen Sangyu arrived, there was a long queue in the office.

The funding application needs to be reported first and handed over to Qin Duanshan, who then applies to the school.

Shen Sangyu and He Huai were the last to arrive, because a long time had passed and no other students came behind them.

Qin Duanshan’s review was very fast, and some funds were not passed and were sent back for re-counting, so it was soon Shen Sangyu’s turn.

“Teacher Qin, this is our group’s funding application.”

Shen Sangyu was well prepared.

She made a handwritten manuscript on underwater power and some equation calculations last night. After all, it was just a model, so the demand was not great.

Sure enough, Qin Duanshan showed no satisfaction after seeing the schedule written by Shen Sangyu.

However, before he could say the word “not bad”, Qin Duanshan’s face suddenly changed.

“Shen Sangyu…”

Qin Duanshan rarely called Shen Sangyu by her full name. Shen Sangyu secretly thought that something was wrong, and hummed in a low voice, then looked at Qin Duanshan blankly.

Qin Duanshan sneered: “Did you calculate the funds wrong?”

Shen Sangyu quickly took her little notebook and took a look, and carefully calculated it again: “No, it’s this number, Teacher Qin, I wrote it all on it.”

Qin Duanshan: “…You want 300 yuan for the experimental funds for a midterm assignment?”

Shen Sangyu: “I’m already very frugal. I plan to make a lot of the materials myself.

I originally planned to ask for 500, but I think you will definitely not approve it. This really can’t be any less. I can’t do it if it’s any less.”

Shen Sangyu looked like a gangster and almost angered Qin Duanshan to death.

“The total funding for a class is only 200 yuan, and you want 300 yuan alone?”

This time it was Shen Sangyu’s turn to be shocked: “Only 200 yuan for a class?”

Indeed, Shen Sangyu has always known that the research funding is not much, but she didn’t expect it to be so little.

There are dozens of students in a class, and how much money can be divided among 200 groups?

Shen Sangyu was shocked: “Ten yuan can’t even make a propeller!”

Qin Duanshan’s mouth twitched slightly: “If you can’t make it, just change the materials. You still think 200 yuan is too little? At that time, we had to pay for the experiment!”

Finally, Shen Sangyu left the office and fell into deep thought while looking at the small notebook in his hand.

He Huai comforted: “It doesn’t matter, brother has money.”

But Shen Sangyu shook her head, and her mood suddenly became heavy: “Teacher Qin is right, it costs so much money for a midterm, and we will have so many experiments to do in the future.

By then, the funding will definitely not be able to keep up. If we can pay for it once, there will be a first and a second time. Now our country… is not strong enough.”

He Huai was speechless for a while.
