Qiao Mei sat next to Yan Xi and said, "I've been lecturing in class all morning and I'm really a little tired. So I asked Mr. Wu for half a day off."
Yan Xi pointed at Qiao Mei and said to his wife, "Look at this child. She's exactly as I described! She has the same temper as her grandfather!"
"I was brought up by my grandfather, so of course I resemble him the most! But I'm not as stubborn as my grandfather!" Qiao Mei said with a laugh.
"That's true. Your grandfather has a very stubborn temper. Child, you can't just take leave and not go to school just because you have good results, do you understand? If every student can skip school because of good results, then won't Sixth High be in a mess?" Yan Xi said as he looked at Qiao Mei earnestly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYan Xi knew that Qiao Mei had worked hard this morning. Anyone would be very tired if one had to take on the workload of four teachers. When he went to school tomorrow, he would reprimand these teachers for making a pregnant woman work so hard.
Qiao Mei nodded in embarrassment and said, "I understand. I'm indeed throwing a tantrum today. I'll definitely go to school obediently tomorrow! I won't be so willful anymore! However, I'm indeed here today to discuss something with Grandpa Yan Xi."
"Your grandfather and I are good friends. His granddaughter is my granddaughter. Just let me know what you need. I'll definitely help if I can," Yan Xi said.
"I'm pregnant now, so it's not very convenient for me to ride my bicycle or walk to school. I usually drive to school, but there's no parking space near the school. I'm thinking of buying a parking space at the school. I wonder if it's alright?" Qiao Mei asked tentatively.
There were parking spaces in the school backyard for the school teachers, but these were all bicycle parking spaces. There had never been anyone who needed to park a car!
In this era, only government officials and people with important positions in the military would be given cars by the country. Apart from businessmen like He Ning who could afford to buy his own car, the common people could only fantasize about getting a car.
"About this…" Yan Xi said awkwardly. No matter his position, he could not make such a big decision. The school's leadership team had to hold a meeting to discuss this matter.
Qiao Mei immediately said, "I'm willing to donate a laboratory building to the school! Then I'll fund the construction of a car park next to the laboratory building so that it'll be easier for the leaders of the Education Bureau to park their cars when they come by for inspection!"
The country was undergoing very rapid development at the moment. A lot of times, it was difficult for the school to keep up with the expenses of buying materials for the students, let alone have the money to buy new equipment, tables or chairs for the school. If Qiao Mei really donated a laboratory building to Sixth High, it would be a blessing for the students and would allow them to learn better.
"Qiao Mei, this is no laughing matter. The cost of a laboratory building is not a small sum. Can you really afford it?" Yan Xi asked worriedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQiao Mei had already made a huge loss from donating the experimental seeds. The current situation at the factory was not the most optimistic either. Qiao Mei had spent a lot of money and manpower on the experimental fields. If she were to use the factory's money at this time, it would be equivalent to closing down the factory!
"Yes, I can. Grandpa Yan Xi, don't worry. I've considered this matter thoroughly. Sixth High is also my husband's alma mater. This laboratory building can be considered a token of our appreciation for our alma mater. I hope you can agree to it," Qiao Mei said.
Even if the factory did not have much money, it did not mean that Qiao Mei did not have money in her coffers. Besides, she could still use the ginsengs to extort money from He Ning! Even if she did not have money, He Ning had a lot!
He Ning sneezed violently at home and muttered softly, "Why am I sneezing… Is the weather too cold?"
After much consideration, Yan Xi agreed to Qiao Mei's suggestion and made preparations to inform the Education Bureau about Qiao Mei's gesture so that more people could see how much she had contributed to the school.
The news agency would also specially write a column on this matter. It was not only to thank Qiao Mei for her efforts, but more importantly, they wanted to appeal to other companies to sponsor the school so that the students could have a better learning environment.
Qiao Mei had almost forgotten the most important thing she came to do. She quickly took out the scroll from behind her and handed it to Yan Xi. "Grandpa Yan Xi, I know you like one particular artist very much. This is a painting that I received by chance. It's the artist's final piece of art. I specially brought it here today to give it to you."
