After September, Heishan County on the Loess Plateau immediately turned cold. The short summer was about to end. Once winter arrived, the year would be over.
Huai Sheng High School finally got on the right track during the summer vacation. Lu Yiwei faced all kinds of doubts and pressure and quietly contributed. The most controversial was the 3 million yuan donation from Mr. Yu Huaisheng, which made some people extremely jealous. Even the County party committee secretary Yan Bugao couldn't help but try to pry a piece of the pie.
On this issue, Lu Yiwei had too many helpless choices. On social donations, whether it was laws, regulations, or policies, they were all very vague. Should the money go to the beneficiary or the department in charge? If it was not used up, should it be returned or used for other projects … Mr. Yu Huaisheng clearly pointed out that the money would be used for the construction of Huai Sheng High School and was a free donation. Since that was the case, the money could be directly transferred to Huai Sheng High School's account. However, all the departments jumped out and fought fiercely for the management of this fund.
The first to jump out was the Civil Affairs Bureau. The Civil Affairs Bureau believed that this was a social donation and should be managed by the Civil Affairs Bureau. The Education Bureau stood up and criticized the Civil Affairs Bureau. Mr. Yu clearly said it was education funds and had nothing to do with other issues. The Civil Affairs Bureau couldn't compete with the Education Bureau, so they let their subordinate China Charity Association confront them. This charity organization had a teaching program, so it was natural to take over the money. In the end, even the Red Cross Society joined in, hoping to get a share of the pie.
The money was brought back by Lu Yiwei with great effort. What did it have to do with them? This situation was completely Yan Bugao's doing behind the scenes. Lu Yiwei's attitude was very tough. Other than Huai Sheng High School, no other units should even think about it.
This made Yan Bugao a little unhappy and he called him to his office to persuade him. He said, "It's true that you brought back the money, but considering the reality of Heishan County. If we become rich, who would still think about this money? Because of this money, many departments have opinions on me. Especially Hu Guoxing from the county's First High School. He told me many times that the county's First High School was raised by a stepmother and didn't give a single cent. Instead, it was invested into Huai Sheng High School. This year, my focus is to build Huai Sheng High School. But perhaps you and I don't want to see a fight over money, right? "
Lu Yiwei thought it was ridiculous. It was only three million yuan. If it was thirty million yuan, they would definitely fight over it. He said, "Secretary Yan, what you said is reasonable, but Sir Yu said that every cent of the money should be used for education. If it is used for other purposes, then it will go against his original intentions. How can I explain this to him? With this precedent, will they still support the development of their hometown in the future? "
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Yan Bugao said with some disgust, "As the class monitor, I have to be fair. I can't be partial, and I can't spoil someone. How about this, I propose a compromise. Huai Sheng High School will keep 1 million yuan, right? The rest will be given to the county's No.1 Middle School, and the other departments will also get some profits. That's it. "
Lu Yiwei gritted his teeth in hatred, but he was powerless to retaliate. If Yu Huaisheng were to find out, what would he think?
Soon, the county's No.1 Middle School transferred 800,000 yuan in the name of repairing the students' dormitory, and the remaining 1.2 million yuan was secretly transferred to the library through the Finance Department. This move was very puzzling. What was the intention of transferring money to the library when they could not get it from the proper place? But the answer was self-defeating, which made Lu Yiwei very angry.
The librarian was a woman, and it was said that she had an unusual relationship with Yan Bugao.
The black circle finally reported that the box of treasures was sold for more than 7 million yuan. Although it was lower than expected, it was good enough that it could be sold. Immediately after that, he and Tong Huan discussed the details of the foundation, hoping to set it up as soon as possible. Setting up a foundation was different from setting up a business. It needed to be filed with the Civil Affairs Department to check if you had the ability and qualifications. Once approved, two channels would be opened, one entrance and one exit. The entrance meant that it could accept donations from other companies or individuals. The exit was very arbitrary, and without a strong background, it was impossible for the higher-ups to approve it.
The other way was to be affiliated. If it was affiliated with the Red Cross and other departments, complicated things would be simplified. However, Lu Yiwei thought that charity was too simple. He thought that with enough money to set up a foundation, he could carry out social relief or fundraising. He was very wrong. Under the current system, once it was separated from the government, it was basically difficult to do anything. The Shao's Foundation could develop and grow, to a large extent, thanks to the protection of the government.
After many efforts, he still could not get the approval. Tong Huan went straight to the point, "If you really want to do charity, do you have to set up a foundation? If you donate in the name of a company, the effect will be much better than a foundation. In addition, people are not aware enough now, and not many people are willing to donate. The 7 million yuan will be squandered in a few days. Therefore, I suggest setting up a company to make money and setting up a foundation to open up donation channels. "
Lu Yiwei was a little hesitant about Tong Huan's opinion. After all, the money was not his, and the Xu family still had descendants. If he went against Xu Jiayin's original intention, would it be inappropriate? For this reason, he called the United States to ask for Xu Jiayin's opinion. He did not expect that Xu Jiayin's attitude was very clear. The money was given to him, and how to deal with it was completely up to him. He would not ask.
What kind of company should he set up? Tong Huan set his sights on the fast-developing real estate market, but Lu Yiwei vetoed it. The investment in the real estate market was too large, and there were too many variables. If he was not careful, he would lose everything. If he really lost everything, how could he live up to Xu Jiayin's trust? Even if he could not lose, the 7 million yuan was not enough to buy land, let alone building a building.
However, Tong Huan resolutely said, "Even if she doesn't do real estate, she will enter the real estate industry."
"Why?" Lu Yiwei was quite curious.
Tong Huan resolutely said, "One day, I will crush Ding Changhua and make him kneel in front of me and beg for mercy."
Thinking of Tong Huan's tragic experience, Lu Yiwei did not say much.
The renovation of the 300-square-meter house in Shengjing Yu Garden was finally completed, and it was ready to move in. Lu Yiwei did not manage the renovation and left it to Fan Chunfang. Fan Chunfang asked her best friend, Yang Ran, to help and hired a famous designer from Beijing to personally design the house. The decoration materials were directly transported from Beijing, and even the workers were professional construction teams with certificates. With such a standard, the effect of the decoration was naturally not ordinary. Of course, the price was astoundingly high.
The main color of the house was cold gray, with a European style and a Chinese ambience, making it look calm and grand. The spacious living room on the first floor was open to the north and south. The second floor had a unique style of a small garden with all kinds of flowers, and there was a swing hanging on one side. Lu Yiwei sat on the swing, looking at the street in the distance, feeling very comfortable. It was really not easy to find such a quiet place in the busy city.
Fan Chunfang walked behind the swing, hugged Lu Yiwei, and whispered in his ear, "Yiwei, are you satisfied with our house?"
Lu Yiwei nodded, "It's pretty good, as long as you like it."
"Come here!" With that said, Fan Chunfang pulled Lu Yiwei to a bedroom and said, "Yiwei, this room is reserved for Xiao Yu. Do you like it?"
Seeing that the room was decorated like a princess' room, with pink walls and all kinds of dolls, Lu Yiwei was very touched. He said, "Chunfang, thank you."
Fan Chunfang smiled and said, "This is what I should do. As long as Xiao Yu is happy, I don't mind if she comes back every day. Besides, our neighborhood is next to the best middle school in the city, Jiangdong No. 4 High School. In the future, let Xiao Yu study there, okay? "
Lu Yiwei smiled and nodded gratefully.
"Come here!" Fan Chunfang excitedly pulled Lu Yiwei to another room. Inside, there were all kinds of baby toys, decorated according to a boy's style. She said excitedly, "Yiwei, this is our child's room in the future. Are you satisfied?"
Lu Yiwei picked up a toy car, "How do you know we will be boys in the future?"
Fan Chunfang said seriously, "It must be boys. I like boys, don't you?"
"Of course." Lu Yiwei blurted out.
Fan Chunfang smiled slyly, pulled Lu Yiwei's hand and placed it on her belly, and said happily, "Yiwei, touch your son."
Lu Yiwei was stunned, and stared at Fan Chunfang with wide eyes.
Seeing Lu Yiwei in a daze, Fan Chunfang covered her mouth and snickered, "Are you stupid?"
Lu Yiwei touched his slightly bulging belly, and quickly squatted down to listen. Fan Chunfang touched Lu Yiwei's head, "Silly, it's only two months, how can you hear it?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Yiwei stood up excitedly.
Fan Chunfang said, "I didn't want to give you a surprise."
"This surprise is too timely, haha." Lu Yiwei was so happy that he could not close his mouth, and suddenly hugged Fan Chunfang. At this moment, Fan Chunfang was no longer the subordinate she used to be, but a wife in the truest sense.
After going through so many hardships, Lu Yiwei finally ushered in the peak of his life. His career progressed smoothly, he got married, he had his own house in the provincial capital, and now he had a new life. For a man, wasn't this success?
"Put me down, be careful of the child!" Fan Chunfang agreed, and she was very excited. She knew that from this moment onwards, Lu Yiwei had accepted her from the bottom of his heart. It was said that a child was the modifier of a marriage. The existence of a new life was a testimony to the difficult love, and it also allowed her to hold Lu Yiwei tightly in the palm of her hand.
"Chunfang, from tomorrow onwards, don't go to work. Focus on taking care of the baby." Lu Yiwei said excitedly, "I'll get my parents to come and take care of you, or you can just go back to our home in Eastern State. The environment there is better."
"You're making too much of a fuss. It's still early." Fan Chunfang said sweetly.
"Then, do your parents know?"
"Yes." Fan Chunfang said, "My mother has already applied for leave to stay at home to take care of me. You guys are making such a big fuss. I'm still in good health, hur hur."
"Oh, then do they know about the house?" Lu Yiwei said worriedly.
Fan Chunfang said, "Not yet, but we should tell them that as long as the money is clean, there's nothing to be afraid of."
