I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

"Brother Chen, are you sure... you don't want to add any restrictions?"

Su Qing's voice carried a hint of worry.

Although she didn't understand business operations, she knew that if such a large sum of money was spent without any expectation of return, wouldn't she just be a fool who had too much money to spend?

What if we raise a few ungrateful wretches like Jiang Xuewen, who use the Jiang family's money to finish their studies, then pack up and run away abroad? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Hearing Su Qing's question, Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously, turned his head, and held up one finger to her.

"I, Jiang Chen, enjoy doing charity work."

A playful smile curved his lips.

"But I will never be a saint."

"If you take my money, you have to follow my rules!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen immediately issued a second instruction to the group's public relations department.

Soon, on the official website of the "Jiang Family Special Scholarship Fund," a brand-new, and only, supplementary clause was added below the inspiring charter.

This clause is simple, direct, and can even be described as extremely domineering!

[All top talents who receive full funding from the Jiang Family Special Scholarship Fund must, after completing their university studies, unconditionally join any industry under the Jiang Family Group as a senior consultant or core technical personnel, with a service period of no less than three years!]

The moment this regulation was announced, the internet exploded.

Just moments ago, the comment section was filled with praise and amazement, but immediately some self-proclaimed righteous "keyboard warriors" jumped out and started stirring up trouble.

"I told you! Capitalists' money isn't so easy to take. Their true colors have been revealed!"

"Ha! This isn't sponsorship; it's practically a disguised 'contract of servitude'! They're buying out the most precious three years of our nation's top geniuses' youth with money!"

"Three years! Graduating and being tied to a township enterprise! How is this any different from ancient slavery? Those evil capitalists!"

"Boycott! This blood-stained funding must be resisted!"

For a time, all sorts of sarcastic and unfounded arguments were rampant.

However, before Jiangjiacun's legal and public relations departments could retaliate...

An official statement that caught everyone off guard, a true bombshell, has gone viral across the internet!

In an unprecedented move, Tsinghua University and Peking University, two of China's top universities, jointly issued a statement on their official website in support of the Jiang Foundation!

The wording of this statement can be described as extremely emotional!

In his statement, the highly respected former president of Tsinghua University practically pointed his finger at those keyboard warriors and cursed them.

"You bunch of keyboard warriors who just hide behind your keyboards and type, you know absolutely nothing!"

"Do you know the size of the Jiang Group now? Its businesses span super agriculture, fully automated logistics, biomedicine, and AI high-tech manufacturing! It's a commercial behemoth with assets approaching one trillion!"

"Can you even imagine what a core position in a company of this caliber is like? Forget about fresh graduates; even many senior executives who have worked for Fortune 500 companies for over a decade would kill to get in!"

"President Jiang, this isn't 'enslavement' at all! This is clearly guaranteed job placement after graduation! Giving these students from poor families a golden opportunity! A chance to rise to the top in one step!"

The equally white-haired president of Peking University was even more outspoken.

"Mr. Jiang's actions are a great contribution to the present and a benefit for future generations! He has not only preserved the most valuable talent for our country, but also provided these children with an unparalleled platform for practical experience! Our two schools will fully support the operation of the Jiang Foundation!"

With the official endorsement of these two top universities in the country, the online public opinion underwent a dramatic reversal!

Those impoverished but gifted students who were still hesitating in front of their computers and being misled by keyboard warriors were moved to tears when they saw this statement.

"Waaaaah... Mr. Jiang, you're like a second parent to me!"

"What contract of servitude? To be able to work for a god-like figure like President Jiang for three years, that's like my ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke!"

"Stop talking! I've already filled out the application form! Let's go buy the train tickets now!"

The Jiang Foundation's official website server crashed three times due to excessive traffic.

Application emails flooded the foundation's inbox like snowflakes.

There were even a few genius students from remote mountainous areas who had just won the provincial science championship. Because their families were too poor to afford computers, they simply packed a few steamed buns and took a slow train overnight, enduring two days and two nights of bumpy travel, to reach the entrance of Jiangjia Village.

Without saying a word, when they saw Jiang Chen come out of the village, they immediately knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and kowtowed, begging for a spot in the foundation.

The scene became extremely exaggerated at one point.

But the most outrageous things are yet to come.

In order to secure more funding slots for their school's students.

The two former presidents of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, disregarding their status as academic giants, personally led teams to the countryside.

The next morning, two elderly people with white hair, each carrying a basket of fruit, appeared at the entrance of Jiang Chen's large apartment, specifically asking to "go through the back door" to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen warmly received the two national treasure-level principals in the spacious living room of the large apartment.

Faced with the two elderly people's almost "pleading" attitude, Jiang Chen not only readily waved his hand but also directly added one hundred special quotas to each of the two schools.

He even had the finance department advance 50 million yuan of operating funds for the first year, which was directly transferred to the joint account of the two schools.

When the two principals left, they were so excited that their faces turned red. They held Jiang Chen's hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly. They almost bowed to Jiang Chen on the spot.

After seeing off the two satisfied principals, Jiang Chen stretched and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked out the window at the neatly planned, lush green farmland spanning thousands of acres, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"The talent pool is now secured."

Jiang Chen picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button.

"Big Gou."

"Hey, Brother Chen! What can I do for you?"

Jiang Chen's eyes turned fiery.

"Tell everyone in the village who is able-bodied to be alert!"

"Get ready for the first bumper harvest of Jiangjia Village!"
