These days, Jiang Chen had a relaxing time.
Although he found a listening device in the room, he didn't bother to investigate who did such a dirty thing. Every day, he would chat with his parents and take Ayesha around the place he used to live. He would also take pictures with his phone and send them to the three people in the apocalypse.
"This is my high school." Standing at the school gate, Jiang Chen looked at the school building with nostalgia and introduced it to Ayesha.
He once spent his youth and sweat here.
Now that she thought about it, the boy who would blush and have his heart race for half the class just by accidentally touching his deskmate's hand was really innocent and cute.
"Did Ayesha go to high school?" Jiang Chen asked nonchalantly.
"I didn't finish, it was destroyed," Ayesha said expressionlessly.
What a sorrowful memory …
"Sorry, I made you remember bad things," Jiang Chen said softly.
The cold face showed him a gentle smile. She shook her head.
"No need to apologize. It couldn't be helped. "
For those sad memories, Ayesha never felt sorry for it. Even for the tragedy that happened to her family, she just silently accepted the fact. Jiang Chen asked her if she wanted to go back and seek revenge on the people who killed her parents. As long as she wanted to, he would provide her with help, but she shook her head.
Jiang Chen didn't ask her why, but he could vaguely guess something.
It was a sad fact. The little Syrian loli in her teens was perhaps the person with the most similar thought process to the wasteland people he met in the modern world.
Only people who were used to seeing death would be so indifferent to death.
Perhaps it was because of this that she felt so close to the only person still alive in the world who made her feel warmth, the only person who made her open her heart.
Jiang Chen rubbed Ayesha's little head, smiled, held her hand, and walked to the school gate.
"Class is still in session. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the school," sitting in the security room, the old man in a military coat said sternly.
Although Jiang Chen recognized him, he obviously didn't remember everyone who walked out of here.
Jiang Chen didn't think he would be stopped by the security at the school gate. However, when he saw the vigilant expression on the guard's face, he immediately reacted.
It was understandable for the guards to stop people from entering the school. Jiang Chen remembered when he was in school, there were some thugs who liked to hang around the school gate. Even though he was just a "Luo Sir" in society, he liked to pretend to be a big brother in front of minors, showing off how "powerful" he was, and then hooking up with delinquent girls and asking honest people for money.
Ayesha's brown curly hair was obviously misunderstood by the guard as being dyed. After all, he was getting on in years, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
As if reading his mind, Jiang Chen just smiled, walked over, and casually chatted with the guard.
"Is it still President Wu?"
"Yes. You're looking for him? "
"Hmm … Give him a call and tell him that someone wants to donate a school building."
The guard was stunned.
"What?"
…
Normal people wouldn't recognize Jiang Chen, but as the principal of Hucheng Second High, how could he not recognize an outstanding alumnus? Hucheng was a small place that rarely produced a talent. Now, he was the president of a company with a market value of over ten billion, and he was named by the Wall Street Journal as being comparable to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the leaders of the "Third Technology Revolution."
Wu Zechen had worked at Hucheng Second High for more than ten years and could be considered a senior principal. Although he didn't have much of an impression of Jiang Chen, who graduated five years ago, it didn't stop him from being proud of Jiang Chen's achievements. Although it wasn't to the extent that he would tell everyone he met, he would always add a few sentences at the end of each principal's speech. He would use Jiang Chen's story to motivate the students who were still wet behind the ears. While showing off his ability to run a school, he also encouraged them to study hard and get into a good university.
Although Jiang Chen's current achievements had nothing to do with the university …
Within half a minute, Jiang Chen saw President Wu walking over with a group of school leaders. From a distance, he greeted Jiang Chen and greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to come back to visit. You didn't even give me a call." As soon as they met, Wu Zechen excitedly shook Jiang Chen's hand and said with a glowing face.
"There's no need for that. I've been away from home for a long time, so I came back to take a look." Jiang Chen smiled.
"That's not okay! Mr. Jiang is coming back to Hucheng Second High, we should at least hold a welcoming party — "
"No need, no need, I won't bother the students." Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the old principal. After shaking hands with a group of school leaders such as the vice principal, the dean, and the secretary, he was finally invited into the school gate in a grand manner.
Of course, the reason why the old principal was so enthusiastic was mostly because of Jiang Chen's opening line of "donating a school building." After receiving Jiang Chen's confirmation, his old face almost bloomed into a smile. He personally acted as the "tour guide" and took Jiang Chen and Ayesha around the school.
He originally thought he would have to stay as a principal until he retired, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to come back on a whim and benefit the education industry of his hometown.
Once the new school building project was finalized, in less than two years, he would be promoted to the education department. With this experience, he could at least be promoted from the deputy section level to the official level, and maybe even to the deputy director level. After obtaining such a great benefit, it was no wonder that he would be so enthusiastic.
In the beginning, the principal's enthusiasm gave Jiang Chen a headache. After all, he initially planned to hold Ayesha's little hand and quietly walk around the familiar campus, reminiscing the past, and at the same time, do something for his hometown. He didn't expect to be followed by a bunch of school leaders.
But soon, he began to enjoy the feeling.
As for why, it was naturally because …
"Look, look, that's Jiang Chen?" Just as Jiang Chen passed by the classroom he used to study in, a sharp-eyed girl immediately recognized Jiang Chen. She grabbed her deskmate's hand and shouted excitedly.
Among the young people using smartphones, Jiang Chen was quite famous since Future 1.0 had at least 300 million users in the country. Those who loved to use their phones to watch dramas and play games would mostly choose to install Little White to save battery and speed up the phone.
"Eh? It's true! Oh my god, Old Wu has the ability to invite the nation's husband to the school? " A beautiful girl with long, middle-parted hair widened her eyes as she stopped scrolling through Weibo.
"Put your phone away, if the dean sees it-"
"Wait, let me take a picture of him first." The girl raised her phone and posted the last Weibo post of the semester.
Not only was Jiang Chen popular among the girls, but he was also popular among the boys.
Many of the top students had already regarded this man as their role model for studying hard. They wanted to be like him one day, walking back to school with their heads held high, letting those once "arrogant" school leaders follow behind them and use all sorts of fancy words to flatter him.
With a net worth of tens of billions, the exotic beautiful secretary was the model of a winner in life!
Although Jiang Chen wanted to tell them that his achievements today had nothing to do with his studies … even if he did get into Wanghai University with high scores.
All in all, being watched by a group of young and beautiful girls with admiration and admiration was an indescribable joy.
That's right! Jiang Chen loved the feeling of being pretentious.
What was the difference between a person and a salted fish if he didn't act pretentious?
"So, is Mr. Jiang satisfied with our school's culture?" Wu Zechen looked at the smile on Jiang Chen's face and said cheerfully.
"I don't have the right to comment on whether I'm satisfied or not. But seeing how energetic the students are, as an upperclassman, I am very pleased, "Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
"Haha, of course not. A lot of students in our school view Senior Jiang as their idol. "A female secretary in her thirties said with a smile.
To this compliment, Jiang Chen smiled proudly.
"Speaking of which, where is Mr. Cai?" It was his class teacher. However, after walking around the teaching building, she couldn't find him.
"Old Mister Cai is getting on in years and has already retired. I heard that his son is doing well in the south, so he took him over. "
[Retired?]
Jiang Chen felt a bit regretful, but then he felt relieved.
He had spent most of his life in education, it was time for him to enjoy his life.
…
A five-million-yuan school building, a one-million-yuan set of modern teaching equipment, and a marble statue. Although Principal Wu enthusiastically expressed that they should have a grand donation ceremony, it would be difficult to express the gratitude of all the teachers and students.
But Jiang Chen waved his hand and refused. Afraid of trouble, he used the simplest procedure and donated under the name of Future Technology. The company's legal department would send someone to coordinate this matter and save him the trouble.
After taking care of these matters, Jiang Chen called Xia Shiyu and was about to inform her.
"Hello?" Jiang Chen said lazily into the phone.
"Ah, mhmm? What's up? "Xia Shiyu's voice sounded absent-minded.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in confusion as he said with a concerned tone, "Something's up … I feel like you don't feel right. Do you have a cold?"
"No, nothing, just a private matter," Xia Shiyu replied half-heartedly.
Her family made her go on a blind date, saying that it was difficult for a girl to get married when she was older. The guy was also working hard in Wanghai City and opened a company. What era was this?
For the past two days, Xia Shiyu had been troubled by this matter.
Unable to dissuade her parents' insistence, she finally agreed to take a leave to come back.
It was to make her parents happy.
As to the blind date, she had already sentenced him to death in her mind.
For some reason, even though they had nothing to do with each other, she still didn't want Jiang Chen to know. What was even more shameful was that whenever she thought about marriage, for some reason, what happened that night would surface in her mind.
That day, their lips were only a few centimeters apart.
If she kissed him that day …
Xia Shiyu absent-mindedly listened to Jiang Chen talk about the donation before she hung up the phone.
She let out another long sigh as she held the phone in front of her chest.
Her thin red lips were slightly pouting like a little girl, which was a rare sight.
Like she was talking in her sleep, she uttered a sentence that was unclear.
"Idiot …"
