Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 277 - 192: A Word Worth Ten Years of Your Struggle_2

As the large group ahead moved farther and farther away, the dozen or so old classmates at the back chatted and laughed before they too chased after the main contingent.

Given their outlook and status, these classmates had never had the chance to meet wealthy individuals before. Now that a top-tier tycoon had emerged among them, even if they couldn’t curry favor, it was still beneficial to show face and become acquainted.

At this moment, Chu Mo, who was encircled at the very center of the front row by a crowd of people, had already passed through the school gates, across the grand plaza of Normal University, looking at the familiar library and teaching buildings, and even the nearby cafeteria stirred a sense of emotional nostalgia within him.

He turned his gaze to Principal Yang beside him. The portly middle-aged man was brimming with enthusiasm and lacked the solemnity he had shown in previous encounters.

"Some time ago I visited Fudan University and, together with Dean Lu of the Vice-Tannen Institute of Life Sciences, invested in a cutting-edge global project,"

Chu Mo spoke eloquently, his expression somewhat solemn. The eyes of everyone present, including Principal Yang by his side, concentrated on him in earnest attention.

A donation of ten billion was no small sum. On the contrary, it was a very, very significant amount. Not to mention a Tier 3 university like Normal University, even if placed at top-tier prestigious institutions like Shui Mu University or Peking University, a single donation of ten billion would be enough for the president of Shui Mu University to receive the donor personally.

In Hua Country, there were many famous individuals who donated to their alma maters, but the ones who contributed over ten billion were truly rare.

It is well known that Ma, Hua Country’s former richest man, donated only one billion to his alma mater, Hangzhou Normal University. The founder of Xiaomi, Lei, who was worth over a hundred billion, donated nine hundred and ninety-nine million and nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand yuan to his alma mater.

The only alumnus from Shui Mu University who had donated ten billion to his alma mater was Sun Bin, the chairman of Fusion.

Chu Mo was the second person to donate over ten billion to his alma mater.

Before this, the total amount of donations received from all alumni by Normal University did not exceed ten million.

For a Tier 3 university ranked beyond the top two hundred in the country, Normal University’s receipt of a donation of ten billion truly broke many of the school’s records.

While every gaze was fixed on Chu Mo, he turned his attention to the nearby school cafeteria. He felt slightly emotional and then spoke up,

"During my visit to Fudan University, the fried chicken legs in the Fudan University cafeteria left a deep impression on me. Our Normal University should learn from them in terms of food service.

To that end, I will set aside a separate one billion exclusively for improving the cafeteria food quality. Principal Yang, we should ensure not just that our students are full, but also that all forty thousand younger brothers and sisters eat well. Only then can they put more focus on their studies."

The food served in the Normal University cafeteria had always been Chu Mo’s and his classmates’ most significant complaint. Having spent four years at the university, he was well aware of the quality of the cafeteria food. Without saying it was inedible, it certainly was a whole level below Fudan University’s standard.

As a student, he had no say in the matter and had to eat whatever the cafeteria served, no matter how unpalatable. Frequently eating out wasn’t an option either, as a student’s budget wouldn’t allow it.

Now that he was capable, Chu Mo wanted to secure a fair deal for the bellies of the forty-five thousand students at the school.

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged principal by his side immediately became serious. He said earnestly,

"The school cafeteria has always been managed by Vice-Chancellor Liu, and I’ve never had the time or energy to get involved. Chu Mo, since you care about the life of the younger students, it is my undeniable duty as the principal.

In light of this, we will rebid for the cafeteria’s contract. With the one billion you’ve provided, I assure you that each of our forty-five thousand students at Normal University will have fried chicken legs for every meal."

Chu Mo nodded with a smile, considering the matter settled without further ado. He trusted that Principal Yang beside him would definitely make thorough improvements to the school’s cafeteria.

His younger brothers and sisters would no longer have to endure the same tasteless food that he did.

The group ambled towards the administration building where a grand welcome ceremony was to be held for Chu Mo.

Meanwhile, the classmates who had been following behind had just witnessed the entire event and their faces showed complex emotions.

Back in the day, they too had struggled with the unpalatable food served in the school cafeteria, but now, with a wave of Chu Mo’s hand and a designated donation of one billion, the entire cafeteria was set for a significant overhaul.

Without a doubt, the promise made by Principal Yang for students to enjoy chicken legs every meal was certain to be implemented.

At that moment, Du Yanyan, the class monitor, lightly tugged at Xu Shu’s hand. The two girls, both with beauty scores above ninety, squeezed into the crowd. They approached behind Chu Mo, but were surrounded by principals, vice-principals, and directors—leaving no room for them to interject.

Biting her lip slightly, Du Yanyan suddenly called out softly,

"Chu Mo."

The tall young man who had been chatting and laughing at the very front abruptly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to look around, and when he saw the slender figure, Chu Mo smiled and nodded, saying,

"Big class monitor, we really do have fate. It hasn’t been long since we last met, has it?"

Graceful and poised, Du Yanyan stepped forward. If she had not spoken up, there would have been no place for her to stand here at all.

Chu Mo shook hands with her gently. When he saw the woman beside her wearing a pale pink long dress, he frowned slightly. Then, the memory of a somewhat indifferent figure overlapped with the woman in front of him. He curled the corner of his mouth slightly and then, with a full smile, said,

"Xu Shu, I didn’t expect it to really be you. When I saw you at the door just now, I hardly dared to recognize you. You’ve become more beautiful."

As Chu Mo’s words fell, a chubby executive beside him suddenly spoke up,

"Xu Shu is an outstanding instructor from our Normal University, currently she is working at the school while pursuing her graduate studies. President Chu, in this batch of graduates, there have been quite a few excellent students indeed."

As the words of that chubby executive fell, the nearby Principal Yang reflected for a moment and then nodded,

"Our Normal University is currently vigorously supporting outstanding young teaching and administrative staff; those who are capable should be promoted."

As Principal Yang’s words concluded, the executive who had just spoken immediately nodded, looking very serious, he said,

"Principal Yang, rest assured, I will implement this carefully."

With just a simple greeting, and without even needing Chu Mo to speak, the fate of the young instructor named Xu Shu had already changed.

Chu Mo naturally noticed the situation. He greeted two old classmates and then continued to walk forward.

...

In the grand meeting room of the Normal University’s administrative building, bright sunlight streamed in through the windows, and the four corners of the classroom were filled with fresh flowers. On the banner in the front row, it read, "Warmly Welcome Alumnus Chu Mo Back to His Alma Mater for Inspection."

Principal Yang Jianguo, along with a group of college leaders, surrounded Chu Mo as he took his seat, including the principal, the vice-principal, several college deans, and executive leaders, there were over a dozen people on the school’s side.

On Chu Mo’s side were himself, the Nobel Prize winner Bell, Liang Bing who was always by his side, and Jiang Tao, the head of the detective agency—four people altogether.

Originally, Chu Mo had invited his close friend Li Fei to come along, but including Du Yanyan and Xu Shu, a group of classmates were all very aware that they had no place in such a high-profile meeting room, so they tactfully did not enter.

"Classmate Chu Mo, on behalf of Magic Normal University, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your donation of eleven billion to your alma mater. The school is very pleased to welcome such an outstanding alumnus back for a visit."

Sitting beside Principal Yang, Chu Mo nodded with a smile. His voice was calm as he said,

"Principal Yang, being able to contribute to the development of my alma mater has always been my wish. Thank you for the warm reception."

With a smile in his eyes, Principal Yang nodded gently and said in a warm voice,

"Let’s hear a few words from Classmate Chu Mo."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo was not shy. He could chat amiably with top billionaires worth hundreds of billions, so the presence of these directors and principals was not enough to make him panic.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and after swallowing the tea, Chu Mo realized that compared to the top-grade tea at home worth millions per pound, this tea tasted somewhat bitter.

The moment he put the teacup down, he exuded an air of ease and elegance.

At this moment, Liang Bing, seated next to Chu Mo, fixated her beautiful eyes on his cheek, her expression concentrated and infatuated.
