The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 261 - 156 "Top Ten Outstanding Youths of Jing City
Chapter 261: Chapter 156 "Top Ten Outstanding Youths of Jing City
Zhou Wang left the principal’s office, stunned and silent.
He instinctively reached out to Jiang Qingkui beside him, who knew what he wanted and couldn’t help but smile, because Zhou Wang’s cigarettes were always with him, not left with her...
But she said nothing and instead reached into Zhou Wang’s pocket to take out a cigarette and lighter, lighting it for him in a slightly awkward manner.
Zhou Wang didn’t find anything wrong with it, and after taking a drag, his expression seemed to relax a bit.
"Qingkui..."
"I’m here."
"What do you think the chances are of what Principal Li said happening?"
"Although Principal Li was being conservative, that must be how they usually speak. Since she brought it up in person, it should be a sure thing, right?"
Jiang Qingkui couldn’t help but laugh lightly, "It’s rare to see you this excited."
"Excited?"
Zhou Wang was startled, then shook his head, "This isn’t excitement, it’s... disorientation."
"Disorientation?" Jiang Qingkui was somewhat puzzled.
"It’s hard to explain to you," Zhou Wang chuckled, "It just feels a bit unreal, someone like me can be nominated for ’Jing City’s Ten Outstanding Young People’..."
"Someone like you?"
Jiang Qingkui blinked, "Are you so bad? Starting from scratch, achieving billion-dollar wealth in your early twenties. Even if it’s not unique, you’re one in a million nationwide."
Jiang Qingkui smiled faintly again, "Didn’t you hear the principal’s praise for you? She said you could even apply for Yunan Province’s Ten Outstanding Young People..."
"I’m not qualified for that, I’m self-aware."
Zhou Wang waved his hand.
The reason for his dazed state came from Principal Li Xiwen’s proposal ten minutes ago.
After confirming that the ten million in the account was indeed donated by Zhou Wang and not a mistake, Principal Li Xiwen was so overwhelmed she was slightly out of composure.
Yet she was honest, and after expressing some official words of gratitude, she had a sincere exchange with Zhou Wang, her young alumnus.
Although there were many things Principal Li couldn’t say directly, her hints were enough for Zhou Wang to understand a lot.
This unprecedented donation of ten million had significant implications.
Its importance was not only to Jing City First Middle School, but also personally to Li Xiwen.
So, as a gesture of gratitude, Li Xiwen proposed to help him apply for "Jing City’s Ten Outstanding Young People."
This is an officially endorsed honor title from Jing City, selected every two years, with a certificate, newspaper announcements, and inclusion in local chronicles...
The selection range covers outstanding youth representatives from all walks of life aged 18 to 40.
According to Li Xiwen, Zhou Wang had a good chance of being selected.
But in actuality, Zhou Wang knew this was still a win-win situation for Li Xiwen because Zhou Wang was indeed a student "brought up" during her tenure as principal.
Zhou Wang’s honor equaled Jing City First Middle School’s honor and her honor...
Of course, regardless, this was a good thing for Zhou Wang, donating ten million unexpectedly resulted in a gain in "reputation."
Moreover, this level of honor wasn’t something that could simply be bought with money.
From some perspective, it served as a sort of "protective layer," enabling Zhou Wang to enjoy the conveniences that wealth brings with peace of mind.
Thus, Zhou Wang justifiably believed that this was also the [Divine Fortune Halo] at work.
From the reward for filial piety to Li Xiwen’s urgent need for such a substantial donation to make news, it all connected.
Thinking this way and considering the lottery winnings of over ten million, the [Divine Fortune Halo] indeed matched the standards of the "Golden Magic Ball."
As Zhou Wang was pondering, the system alert sounded.
Ding!
[Real-world interaction complete]
[Business registration information has been updated, the Host has successfully acquired 30% equity of "Modu Jiahui International Hospital"]
The equity was in hand?
Zhou Wang glanced at the system notification; the corresponding contract was already stored at Yunshangyun Law Firm in Magic City, ready for him to pick up at any time.
"Mr. Zhou, let’s go. The ceremony starts in a few minutes. Have you prepared your speech?"
Jiang Qingkui asked at this moment.
"With you here, what’s there to prepare, I’ll rely on you."
Given the suddenness of the event, Zhou Wang had no preparation, but he wasn’t worried at all; he shrugged his hands with nonchalance.
It’s said that secretaries have two levels, "having issues" and "having no issues," and since their relationship hadn’t reached the second tier, Zhou Wang could only work with the first.
"There should still be time, I will help you prepare an outline for the speech and send it to your phone."
Jiang Qingkui nodded in agreement immediately.
...
When they returned to the lecture hall, most people had already taken their seats.
Even the key representatives of the alumni association from the small conference room had mostly arrived, with only Principal Li Xiwen and the official representatives yet to be present.
The awkward part was that alumni like Jiang Qingkui, who were specially invited, had designated seats at the front, with her nameplate on it, but Zhou Wang could only sit at the back.
"Mr. Zhou, how about..."
"It’s just a seat, it’s no big deal. Besides, your nameplate is there, what would it look like if I sat there? I’ll go sit with my classmates in the back."
Jiang Qingkui had just started speaking when Zhou Wang interrupted her, waving his hand, and before Jiang Qingkui could say more, he was already making his way down the aisle toward the back.
