Chapter 52: How about you?
Shen Ci's tone was sincere and neither humble nor pushy. The key was that she had also uprightly produced real evidence to prove that her money was obtained through investment.
Principal Wang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the amount of shares Shen Ci held in the stock market; it was a full two thousand yuan.
He also traded stocks himself, but his vision wasn't good, and he had lost at least dozens of yuan over the years. He was actually not as capable as a female student.
Taking a light breath, Principal Wang finally smiled. "Good, worthy of being a top student at our University of Science and Technology, capable and responsible!"
The department head also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this matter would fall through. He couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Then Principal, should I contact the media? Let's promote this properly; this is a big deal!"
Such a large donation, and donated by a student currently at the school, reporting this would be very beneficial for the school's promotion. Who wouldn't call it a beautiful story after seeing it?
Moreover, having the media present when accepting donations was also a convention. Sometimes the school was responsible for contacting the media, and sometimes the donating enterprise contacted and operated it themselves. In short, it was all for a good reputation.
Principal Wang nodded. "Right, it must be promoted. We must properly praise our student Shen Ci."
"Principal, there's no need for promotion." Seeing this, Shen Ci hurriedly spoke. "I just said that I like to be low-key. Besides, the essence of this matter is that I am making up for the trouble I brought to the school myself; there's nothing worth promoting."
The department head and Principal Wang were stunned upon hearing this and couldn't help but look at each other.
Seeing this, Shen Ci added, "How about the principal, the department head, and I take a photo with the telescopes together? And then post the photo on the school's bulletin board?"
Seeing Shen Ci say this, Principal Wang couldn't help but smile and nod. "That works too. Since student Shen Ci says so, then we won't invite the media; we'll just take a photo among ourselves to celebrate."
Hearing this, the department head hurriedly echoed, "Then I'll go to the school's photography club and find a student to help take the photo."
According to Shen Ci's suggestion, several school leaders, the department head, and Li Jianguo took a photo with the four donated astronomical telescopes, while Shen Ci was arranged in the middle position, unable to refuse the warm invitation.
After taking the photo, the school leaders all went to visit the telescopes. Shen Ci took the opportunity to pull the department head aside and whispered, "Director, I would like to ask for leave from you."
"Ask for leave?" The department head asked, "For how many days?"
"Isn't the National Day holiday coming up soon? I want to go home. I plan to ask for leave directly until the National Day, so that it will be more ample when connected with the holiday."
If it were a weekday and a student wanted to ask for continuous leave before a holiday for no reason, he would definitely not approve it.
But after today's event, Shen Ci was clearly different. The department head nodded and agreed without even thinking. "No problem. Have you prepared the leave note?"
"Not yet. Should I send it to you this afternoon?"
"No need. I'll approve it directly. You can just make up the leave note for me when you come back."
Seeing this, Shen Ci smiled and thanked him repeatedly.
Instead, the department head saw that there was no one around and said timidly, "Shen Ci, can the teacher ask you for advice on stock trading?"
Shen Ci: "..."
In the end, Shen Ci naturally declined. Even if she really was a stock market genius, the stock market ultimately carried risks, and there were always unstable factors.
No one could be 100% stable and never lose money.
——
"Qijia Sushi" Nanhuan Branch.
Shen Li brought her roommates here to celebrate successfully receiving her remuneration.
"Baby, you are so good at choosing a place. This is the most delicious sushi restaurant in Longcheng." Wang Chuhan couldn't help but praise as soon as she entered the store.
Sun Yuan also nodded. "That's right. I heard the ingredients are all air-freighted on the same day; they are especially fresh."
Zhao Meina smiled and said to Shen Li, "Ali, we won't be polite with you today; we must eat and eat!"
All three were locals of Longcheng, and their family conditions were quite good. They had clearly eaten at this restaurant before.
And Shen Li was also because her sister had taken her to eat here once. She liked it very much herself and also felt that the price and grade of this place were worthy of the word "big meal." She just wanted to treat her good friends to a big meal.
"Don't be polite with me at all. Eat more, pick the expensive ones!" Shen Li was rarely so lively and said happily to the few. "After eating, let's go to SKP. I'll give each of you a gift!"
"Then I won't be polite with you this time." Hearing this, Wang Chuhan hugged Shen Li's arm and said with a smile, "Because I want to catch some of baby's good luck. The things baby gives will definitely bring good luck. When I also get a role and earn money, I will definitely return a gift to you."
Zhao Meina nodded and said, "That's right. The things that have happened to Ali recently have all been too smooth; she must be favored by the Goddess of Luck. We should also catch some good luck."
The few were laughing and chatting as they entered the store. As a result, as soon as they looked up, they bumped into Xu Zishan who was coming head-on.
"Bad luck!" Wang Chuhan subconsciously muttered when she saw Xu Zishan.
Xu Zishan was also followed by two companions. They had clearly finished eating and intended to leave. When she saw Shen Li and the others, Xu Zishan's expression instantly filled with disdain.
After the press conference, the heart she had been hanging finally returned to her stomach. Shen Li was clearly not one of the leads, and as for who she was playing, she didn't really care.
Shen Li didn't want to bother with Xu Zishan and even took the initiative to pull her roommate to the side to let the other party pass first. As a result, Xu Zishan still stopped in front of her.
"Although I don't care, I'm still very curious." Xu Zishan looked at Shen Li with contempt and asked, "Who exactly are you playing?"
"Don't tell me you're playing 'Aru'; your makeup and styling that day were not a maid's styling at all."
Seeing Xu Zishan bullying Shen Li so blatantly, Zhao Meina immediately spoke up to defend her. "What Shen Li plays has nothing to do with you. You used means to snatch her role, and you still provoke her in front of her every day. Do you really think we don't know?"
Wang Chuhan snorted coldly and echoed, "Exactly, not ashamed but proud."
But the words of the two seemed to have no effect on Xu Zishan at all, because her family had that strength, and she could take shortcuts.
"If you have the ability, you can also spend money to buy a role. This isn't my patent, and I didn't stop you." Xu Zishan said, looking at Shen Li again. "It's fine if you don't say it. I guess it's just some wealthy young lady with not many scenes in the play."
Combining Shen Li's makeup and styling that day, Xu Zishan felt that her guess should be close to the truth.
And a short-haired girl beside Xu Zishan also suddenly spoke at this time, deliberately making things difficult for Shen Li. "You should have received your remuneration too, right? How much? Our Shanshan has 35 yuan!"
Shen Li looked at Xu Zishan's triumphant look and finally responded in a low voice, "8 yuan."
"Ahahahahaha!"
"Eight yuan?"
"How cheap!"
"Oh my god, I thought it would at least be fifteen yuan."
Xu Zishan and her group burst into laughter upon hearing this. Xu Zishan even mocked, "Then you guys must be careful when eating today. This place is very expensive; don't eat half of your remuneration in one meal."
Shen Li waited for her to finish without expression before adding faintly, "I am eight yuan per episode. How about you?" ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
