Chapter 45: If the Li Family Won't Donate, I Will!
After refuting without any mercy, Shen Ci ignored the girl's ashamed and angry expression, turned to look at the other students and said: "I didn't know about the astronomical telescope matter in advance, but the result of this matter is ultimately caused by me. I am willing to bear the consequences of the department being implicated like this."
"How can you bear it? The school won't punish you for this kind of thing."
"That's right, what's the use of verbal commitment? The department lost a donation worth nearly a thousand. Is this a consequence you can bear by moving your lips?"
"I think everyone shouldn't be too excessive. Shen Ci has already apologized to everyone, why be so aggressive?"
"That's right, donations are voluntary in the first place. Now that the Li family has gone back on their word, it doesn't have to be all blamed on Shen Ci, right? Even if she is expelled, what's the use?"
At this time, there were actually a few female students willing to speak for her. Shen Ci cast a grateful look at them.
As for the other students who were angry and spoke evil words to her, Shen Ci didn't feel very angry, because she could indeed understand everyone's mood.
In the final analysis, this matter is likely because she offended Li Xiao's mother, which led to this result.
"I said I would bear it, so I will definitely bear it." Shen Ci said unhurriedly: "The 'Harper CHV24-33' is currently the best astronomical telescope in the world. If the Li family won't donate, I will! I donate four to the school's Astronomy Department in my own name."
Shocking words. After Shen Ci finished this sentence, the classroom fell into a strange silence for a while. Everyone seemed not to believe what they had heard.
"What do you mean? Shen Ci, you said you want to donate to the department?"
"And donate four?"
"Are you crazy? You can even say such big words? Do you know how much this astronomical telescope costs?"
"That's right, each one is over three hundred, and she actually said she wants to donate four. I don't even believe she can donate one."
The girl who was just scolded by Shen Ci sneered even more: "And she said I'm a dream girl, I think she's the one who hasn't woken up!"
The girl in the front row looked back at Shen Ci and shook her head: "Shen Ci, everyone just feels it's a pity, and it's normal to have some emotions. You don't need to dig such a big hole for yourself."
Even the teacher didn't take Shen Ci's words seriously after coming back to his senses. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said earnestly to Shen Ci: "Shen Ci, you can't just say such things casually. The teacher will take it as you are joking. Sit down."
Shen Ci's expression was calm, and she didn't show much reaction to the students' doubts, because anyone can say big words with empty teeth. It's normal that no one believes her before seeing what she donated.
So she didn't argue much, and only said at the end: "I will solve this matter as soon as possible, within a week."
Having said that, she picked up her things and turned to leave the classroom from the back door.
Looking at the direction she disappeared, the students showed disdain.
"Sure enough, beauties lack a brain. Do they really think astronomical telescopes are cheap things that can be bought four at a time?"
"She scored over 700 in the college entrance examination, how could she be a fool."
"Then do you believe her words? If you believe her, you are also a fool."
"I guess she was made stupid by falling in love. Li Xiao is also stupid. He hasn't come to class for a few days, and he's gone."
This matter spread like wildfire, and it spread to almost the entire campus of the University of Science and Technology in less than a day. Everyone who heard it took it as a joke, and no one believed that Shen Ci really had the ability to donate more than a thousand to the school.
After Gu Lianxing learned about this, she rushed back to the dormitory to verify it for the first time. Seeing Shen Ci nod, her eyes widened suddenly, and she said in surprise: "You're crazy, over a thousand!"
Even Gu Lianxing, whose family wealth is over ten thousand, thinks over a thousand is a huge sum of money.
"Money is not spent like this, baby." Gu Lianxing pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Shen Ci solemnly: "Even if you want to donate astronomical telescopes to the school, can't we donate one?"
Shen Ci pouted indifferently: "I caused the department to lose four, so donating one doesn't make sense."
"No, what does this have to do with you? It's the Li family who doesn't intend to donate themselves. Can this also let you cover the bottom?" Gu Lianxing felt it was not worth it for Shen Ci.
Shen Ci said truthfully: "I have to take this matter. It is indeed because of me."
Gu Lianxing still wanted to say something, but Shen Ci hurriedly patted her hand and comforted her: "Oh, you feel more distressed than me when spending my money? I really feel it doesn't matter."
"I just feel distressed!" Gu Lianxing pouted: "Over a thousand is enough for us to eat 'Qi Family' sushi for a lifetime."
One sentence made Shen Ci laugh: "I'll cover your sushi for the rest of your life."
Gu Lianxing was still angry, but she took out her phone and said: "You wait for me to contact my dad and see if he can find a relationship to help you get a discount."
"No need, Lianxing, I've already placed the order." Shen Ci said and showed the order on her phone to Gu Lianxing.
Four Harper CHV24-33, unit price 279, total price for four is 1116.
Seeing the total price truly, Gu Lianxing still couldn't accept it for a while, and wailed for Shen Ci: "Oh my god, it's so expensive, this is too bullying!"
Shen Ci could only laugh helplessly, but felt a sense of refreshment in her heart. The last time she had this feeling was when she bought a house and invested in Lu Jinzhao.
Sure enough, judging from her current assets, she still has to spend money like this to have a feeling.
And donating things to the department of her alma mater is a good thing, helping national education. Even if there was no such thing as the Li family going back on their word, she would be willing to donate.
That afternoon, Li Xiao, who was recuperating at home, also learned about this through his classmates.
"Mom, did you cancel the donation of astronomical telescopes to our department?"
Li Xiao immediately ran from his room upstairs to the living room in his silk pajamas to question his mother angrily.
Li Mu was arranging flowers. Hearing this, she glanced at him impatiently and said calmly: "Yes, is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem." Li Xiao said dissatisfiedly: "This is what my dad promised to the school on behalf of the Li family. What's the matter with you going back on your word?"
"And everyone knows that I and Shen Ci are breaking up. You made this happen, isn't it making Shen Ci the target of public criticism in the school, and everyone will blame her!"
Hearing that her son was still considering that Shen Ci at this time, Li Mu threw a flower at him: "Do you have any ambition? I think you are still in light pain. You have been made like this by her, and you are still speaking for her?"
"And, I want to correct you, you and her are not breaking up, but have already broken up, do you understand!"
"I haven't agreed yet!" Li Xiao was not to be outdone, and turned the topic back: "I don't care, the astronomical telescopes promised to the school must be donated by our family, otherwise Shen Ci will become a joke in the school!" ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
