C92 – They ttered Each Other
Cao Mingyuan, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but burst intoughter.
While Cao Mingyuan might not be wealthy, he was far from unintelligent.
His personality wasn’t all that different from Su Ming’s, which is why they had be close friends.
But the individuals who fawned over Han Peng would never dare to express such thoughts, even if they secretly harbored them.
“Young Master Han, you’re truly affluent. If I’m not mistaken, this Porsche costs over three million, doesn’t it?”
“What? Over three million for this car? My goodness!”
“I barely make a hundred thousand a year. It would take me 30 years of hard work to afford such a car!”
Most of these students had left school early to join the workforce.
Some had acquired skills and earned a stable ie, while others were still unemployed and made even less.
For them, owning a car was already an extravagant dream, let alone a sports car worth more than three million.
“It’s nothing.”
Han Peng smiled faintly and said, “With your dedication, you’ll one day have the chance to drive such a fine car.”
At that moment, Su Ming and Cao Mingyuan also approached. Han Peng looked at them with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.
What a pleasant surprise. He hadn’t expected these two fellows to show up.
Today might turn out to be quite interesting!
Among those Han Peng had bullied in primary school, Su Ming and Cao Mingyuan had been the most resilient.
They had repeatedly made him lose face. While Han Peng had matured and no longer bullied others as he had in his youth, his fundamental character remained unchanged.
Moreover, in Han Peng’s view, he had already proven that Su Ming couldn’tpare to him.
These students had gathered today to tter him. Although Su Ming had been stubborn in his youth, the harsh realities of life should have taught him to acknowledge the importance of money. Face held no practical value.
If Su Ming were to apologize to him, Han Peng might actually arrange a job as a security guard for Su Ming and his friends.
This would allow Su Ming to earn three or four thousand yuan a month.
A significant improvement over farming.
Seeing Su Ming’s arrival, the surrounding students automatically excluded him.
They were well aware that Su Ming and Cao Mingyuan hailed from ordinary farming families and couldn’t hold a candle to Young Master Han’s status.
“Han Peng?”
At that moment, a surprised voice echoed from the entrance, followed by an elderly man with white hair emerging.
“Principal Ding, why have youe out in person?”
Han Peng quickly approached Principal Ding, and they warmly shook hands, both wearing broad smiles.
“Han Peng, I didn’t expect you to attend the school anniversary. We are delighted.”
Principal Ding chuckled and remarked.
“This is my alma mater! Without my alma mater, I wouldn’t be where I am today. My parents often mention how kind you were to me during primary school.”
Han Peng replied with a smile.
“Speaking of my parents, I must convey their gratitude when I return. They contribute money every year, which allows you to upgrade many facilities in this school.”
Principal Ding continued with his speech.
“This is nothing, really. After all, my father also graduated from this primary school, and you were his teacher too. Giving back to our alma mater is the least we can do.”
They exchangedpliments with each other.
Su Ming felt a sense of disgust creeping over him as he listened.
To be honest, their skill in ttery was not on par with President Chen’s.
President Chen excelled in the art of ttery.
“Let’s head inside and chat.”
Principal Ding warmly held Han Peng’s hand and guided him indoors,pletely ignoring Su Ming and the others.
Su Ming and Cao Mingyuan exchanged nces.
The school was abuzz with activity.
The students seated on the field were in grades four to six.
On the left sat the current students, while on the right were the alumni.
Su Ming and Cao Mingyuan found a secluded spot to sit.
Other students also located seats and settled in.
Han Peng, however, received special treatment. Principal Ding escorted him to the front.
Behind the podium, there were VIP seats adorned with watermelons and bottles of mineral water.
Han Peng exchanged handshakes with the school’s prominent leaders.
VIP attendees mingled and greeted each other.
Han Peng maintained a friendly smile, hoping his facial expressions were evident to everyone.
“I’m starting to regreting.”
Cao Mingyuan nced at the zing sun.
“Don’t worry, the best part is yet toe.”
Su Ming gave a mysterious smile.
Cao Mingyuan didn’t press the matter further.
After about thirty minutes, the school’s principal began his address.
Finally, the most pivotal moment arrived.
The donation ceremony!
Wasn’t the school anniversary all leading up to this very moment?
“Dear students, parents, and esteemed guests.”
Principal Ding stood up and positioned himself at the microphone. “Our VIP seats are graced by distinguished alumni who have achieved significant positions in society. We’d like to invite a few representatives to speak.”
After uttering these words, Principal Ding initiated apuse. Han Peng stood up and adjusted his attire.
Han Peng approached the microphone and cleared his throat, capturing the attention of countless female students.
With an air of confidence, Han Peng scanned the audience and offered a faint smile. “Dear students, I want to express my gratitude to our alma mater for nurturing me and enabling my current sess. To show my appreciation, I’ve prepared a small gift today. I hope our alma mater will ept it graciously.”
Han Peng then produced a check from his pocket and ced it in front of Principal Ding. “Principal Ding, on behalf of mypany, I’d like to make a generous donation to our alma mater. I hope you’ll ept this contribution.”
