Huayu 1995

Chapter 146 Young and Ignorant (Seeking Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)
It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon...

"He brought me a skit assignment and asked if I could do it. Skits are my specialty, and I was so excited that I couldn't resist pulling him aside and explaining the topic to him... I don't know how the word got around, but more and more people started coming to me, ╮(╯▽╰)╭..."

Is this so hard to explain?

What might be difficult for others is very easy for Su Chao.

When I was young and naive, I liked to show off my best skills.

I'm not selling homework, I'm explaining the problems.

I won't say who leaked it, but they all came to me on their own initiative.

After some repackaging, the originally mercenary and illegal transactions suddenly became refreshing and sophisticated.

The expressions of the people present relaxed considerably.

It's normal for young people to be a little competitive; otherwise, what would they be called young people?

It's just helping with homework; it's not a heinous crime.

Teacher Chang Li is really something.

To make such a fuss over such a trivial matter.

"Didn't you take a hundred yuan from them?"

Chang Li, being a teacher, hit the nail on the head.

The problem with the homework was discovered a few days ago, so she must have more information.

Take money?

No one else could laugh anymore.

Li Baotian's eyes were full of disapproval; he had already decided to sever ties with Su Chao.

Such people……

They are simply a social cancer, the dregs of humanity.

Even Liu Dehua, who wasn't very familiar with the rules here, knew that anything involving money was no small matter.

If you hit a woman, that's called assault.

But if you take her wallet after you've finished hitting her, that's robbery.

If you pulled up your pants before leaving, then your crime is even more serious.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, if you are wrongly accused of molestation, you'd better beat her up; the charge might actually be lighter.

"Yes, there were too many people, so I had to offer to charge them, and that's how fewer people started coming... Besides, I plan to donate all of this money."

Su Chao remained very calm.

He is definitely the most troublesome student in the eyes of teachers.

Other students would confess to anything if the teacher just tricked them, but someone like Su Chao... it's good enough if he doesn't trick the teacher.

The money was collected to prevent them from buying the homework.

That's a really shady reason.

That's not enough to convince these social elites.

Unless you give them a brain-lowering aura that lowers their IQ.

So, Su Chao quickly dropped another bombshell—they donated it all!
"Donate it?"

I just don't believe it; there aren't many people here who do.

On the contrary, they felt that Su Chao was trying to defend himself.

Honestly, you're still so young. If you make a mistake, just admit it. It's really okay.

Just don't make the same mistake again next time.

Oh no, I can fix that next time.

There's really no need to say anything like "donate it".

It would only make one seem narrow-minded.

"Yes, I plan to donate all the money I've earned recently to Project Hope, but I don't know anyone at Project Hope, and I'm still thinking about how to contact them..."

Su Chao was very serious.

He asked Yan Siyuan and Chen Jiantian, but neither of them knew anyone from Project Hope.

That makes sense, since it's a nightclub.

If people who do charity work go to nightclubs to spend money, the impact will definitely be extremely negative.

"Wait a minute, are you planning to donate all your money?"

Are you out of your mind, kid?

Zhang Heping had contacted Su Chao before, but he had no intention of getting to know Su Chao.

It was only recently, because Su Chao created "The Chinese," that he began to look at Su Chao in a new light. The more he learned about Su Chao, the more he felt that this kid had a bright future.

But he had no idea that Su Chao was actually a madman.

Li Baotian is already considered a moral gentleman, but even he couldn't bring himself to donate all the money he earned.

It's really... I don't know how to describe it.

Why did you donate?

Chang Li instantly suppressed all her hostility, which was truly touching.

“My hometown is in a poor county with a very low density of primary schools. There’s no school in the village, so we usually have to walk four or five miles to go to a primary school in another village. If we don’t take a detour, we have to cross a narrow dam. Last year, two children from our village were crossing the dam, and one of them accidentally fell in. The other went to rescue her, but he didn’t make it back up either…”

Su Chao's story is not made up.

The village school has been talked about for years, but unfortunately, nothing has actually been done.

Those two children also passed away when they were seven or eight years old.

Their parents held their child and cried their hearts out, leaving a very deep impression on the original owner.

I feel like they'll never be happy in their lives.

If the money provided by the system could only be used for charity, Su Chao would definitely prioritize benefiting his hometown.

The best option would be for those involved in Project Hope to set up a school in the village.

"Your thinking... is really not suitable for your age..."

Zhang Heping couldn't quite manage a smile.

He worked within the system and had heard countless sincere words, but none of them had as much impact as Su Chao's words.

"Setting up a school must cost a lot of money, I'll donate some for you..."

Li Baotian looked at Su Chao with more affection than he would at his own son.

I had actually doubted this child, thinking he was a cunning person; that was so wrong of me. "I can donate some too!"

Andy Lau is almost bankrupt, but donating some money to build a primary school is still no problem for him.

He spends a lot of money on charity every year.

"I don't know how much money it will cost. I have no idea about it. I've saved up about 400,000 yuan, so that should be... about right."

This should be very spiritual.

Su Chao looked like he didn't know either, and was also confused.

If you attached two chicken wings to the back of his shoulders, he could cosplay as an angel.

"More than 400,000!"

Li Baotian immediately lost the desire to donate anymore.

He's a top-tier celebrity now, but it seems like he's not as wealthy as one of his children.

Zhang Heping's worldview was also overturned.

Where did Su Chao get so much money? He's worked hard for most of his life and that's all he's ever earned.

And they want to donate all the money.

More than 400,000!
This is money that many people could never earn in their entire lives.

Zhang Heping thought for a moment and said, "If it really is more than 400,000, then it's enough to build two schools."

He mainly recalled recent related reports.

The topic of the report was Hope Primary School.

This year, the Southwest Associated University called on its alumni to donate money, raising more than 700,000 yuan to build three primary schools, with an average cost of about 200,000 yuan per school.

The remaining money was used to purchase 33 sets (500 books per set) of the Hope Library, named after the Southwest Associated University, and distributed to Hope Primary Schools and Central Schools in Yunnan Province.

The 1437 alumni of the Southwest Associated University donated 70 yuan.

This incident was featured on CCTV's "News Broadcast," "China News," and foreign language news programs.

The news was also published in media outlets such as the overseas edition of the People's Daily, the Beijing Daily, the Xinmin Evening News, and the Yunnan Daily.

The China Youth Daily even published a news feature on its front page.

Su Chao alone, over 400,000!
This kid's really gone mad!
"Two hundred thousand is enough, that's good... but let's donate it all, so we can build another one in other places that need it."

Su Chao chuckled sheepishly.

He was cursing under his breath, though, because all this money belonged to the system and he had no use for it anywhere else.

Fortunately, today is a good day to bring this up.

Make the most of this money.

Zhang Heping is from the arts and literature field, Zheng Zhi is from another field, Li Baotian is from the arts and literature field, Liu Dehua is from Hong Kong, Chang Li is from the education field, and Wang Jinsong is from the China Youth Art Theatre.

This persona of a philanthropist is off the charts.

As for secretly doing charity... it's not like you're stealing, so why would you need to do it secretly?

Tax avoidance and prestige—he wants it all.

However, Su Chao did not intend to appear in the newspapers, as that would cause a lot of trouble.

Many people will be jealous, thinking you've made a lot of money.

Since that's the case, it's okay to buy your pirated tapes, right?

Some people will try to take advantage of the situation.

You're so rich, and I'm so poor, it's not too much for you to share some with me, is it?

Especially those organizations that operate under the guise of charity.

They will treat you as a "customer" and will always be thinking about how to take advantage of you.

Those who should know should know, and those who shouldn't know don't need to know. This is what it means to do charity in a low-key manner.

"Actually, you don't need to donate that much. It would be more appropriate to keep some to improve your life."

Chang Li's voice became much softer.

When she first arrived here, she was filled with anger and wanted nothing more than to slap Su Chao.

You dare to mislead young people if you don't have enough skills!

But now she wanted to cry, deeply moved by the child.

"I'm only eighteen. What's the point of improving my life? A luxurious lifestyle will only make me lose my fighting spirit."

In fact, Su Chao has no desire to work hard at all.

But there's no other way; we have to push ourselves to the limit now.

If he were given 400,000 yuan, he would buy a nice car and rent a better house.

Actually, that's enough to buy a house.

However, the concept of commercial housing was not yet fully clear, and a large number of real estate transactions would not occur until after the housing reform in 98.

The Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics explicitly prohibits the sale of courtyard houses.

"Yes, you should work harder when you're young."

Li Baotian exclaimed in admiration.

As the saying goes, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve, temper their character, and increase their abilities."

That's how he treats his son.

They won't give him money or introduce him to any connections; they'll just let their son rely on his own efforts.

Although he wasn't very successful, he wasn't a complete failure either.

"You should start school at eighteen, don't forget about school."

Zhang Heping remembered this matter.

This isn't advice for young people; it's a task assigned to him by Zheng Zhi.

He is a deputy orange-level official, corresponding to a deputy director-general.

The leader who accompanied him to meet Liu Dehua a few days ago was taller than him.

People earnestly advised Su Chao to study hard.

If you see me again and ask me about it.

Whether you say you don't know or that Su Chao didn't go to school, it will leave a bad impression on the leader.

But if Su Chao goes to school.

Zhang Heping, intentionally or unintentionally, revealed the role he played in this process.

Isn't that performance?
