Chapter 612

Yin Jisheng entered the gate: "Where is Zhao Xiao's office?"

The old man took the lock and locked the gate: "The room at the far east end of this row of houses in front."

"Thank you!" Yin Jisheng thanked him.

The school buildings are in two rows, the back row is for grades three to six, the front row has a corridor in the middle, the east side is the teacher's classroom, and the west side is for grades one and two.

Yin Jisheng looked at the school while walking; the playground is not small, surrounded by peach trees, poplar trees, and willow trees, which are already green at this time, looking vibrant.

Passing through the uneven playground, Yin Jisheng arrived in front of Zhao Xiao's office door and knocked.

"Come in!"

Yin Jisheng pushed the door open, and the door leaf made a harsh creaking sound.

The old principal looked up and was stunned when he saw Yin Jisheng: "You..."

Yin Jisheng walked quickly into the room and enthusiastically extended his hand: "Hello Zhao Xiao, my name is Yin Jisheng, we met yesterday at Teacher Cao's sixty-sixth birthday."

The old principal realized and shook hands with Yin Jisheng: "Please sit, please sit!"

Yin Jisheng sized up the office; the wall skin had largely fallen off, revealing the brick blanks inside.

"The school buildings are all brick blanks, no red bricks?"

"Yes!" The old principal said: "After liberation, everything was waiting to be done, there wasn't even a brick factory, so the school was built with brick blanks. In 1975, the Haicheng earthquake happened, and the perfectly good house became a dangerous building.

At that time, it was said to be rebuilt, and it's been said for almost twenty years, but it hasn't been built. Now I can't sleep every day, very afraid that it will suddenly collapse one day; if I, this old guy, am buried, I'm buried, but the children cannot have any mishaps."

Yin Jisheng said: "I came today regarding the donation to build a teaching building."

"What?" The old principal seemed not to have heard clearly, "You... what did you say?"

Yin Jisheng smiled: "Donate to build a teaching building."

The old principal was immediately excited and grabbed Yin Jisheng's hand: "Donate to build a teaching building?"

"Yes!" Yin Jisheng said: "After you left yesterday, Chairman Zhou told me about the school, and asked me to come over today to discuss with you about building the teaching building, whether to build it on the original site or choose a new site."

"So it was Zhou Andong." The old principal realized, a smile appearing on his face, "Building on the original site will delay the children's lessons."

Yin Jisheng said: "When I came, I took a look; we can build the teaching building at the main gate, and put the playground in the back."

The old principal pushed open the office door and looked toward the main gate: "That's also fine, tear down the wall next to my office and open a door; in the future, children can walk here when going to and from school."

Yin Jisheng said: "Then that's it, I'll go back first, get the blueprints out, and then start construction."

"Good, good, good!" The old principal saw Yin Jisheng off to the main gate and only turned back after seeing the Santana disappear from sight, picking up the phone on the desk to call Zhou Andong.

But he didn't know the number, and was so anxious that he turned around in the office several times, suddenly seeing the empty bottle of iced black tea on the windowsill, reaching out to pick it up, seeing the sales phone number on it, and quickly dialed it.

Unexpectedly, it was always busy, and it only got through after dialing for more than ten minutes, with a very pleasant woman's voice coming from inside.

"Hello, this is the sales department of Xurishang Company."

The old principal said: "I'm looking for Zhou Andong."

"I'm sorry!" The other party said, "This is Xurishang Company, if you are looking for our Chairman Zhou, please dial the group board office phone."

The old principal hurriedly said: "I don't know the board office phone."

The other party said: "Please note it down."

The old principal picked up the pen on the desk and opened the notebook next to it: "Go ahead!"

The other party said a string of numbers, and the old principal quickly noted them down: "Thank you, thank you!"

Hanging up the phone, the old principal dialed according to the number in the notebook, and this time it got through quickly.

"Hello, this is the Yugong Group board office!"

The old principal said: "I'm looking for Zhou Andong!"

Hearing the old principal call Zhou Andong by name, the other party was stunned for a moment: "The chairman is very busy, if you have anything, you can tell me, and I will report it to him."

The old principal said: "My name is Zhao Hongzhang, I am the principal of Yushan Town Primary School, and also Zhou Andong's teacher. He sent someone to the school to find me today to discuss donating to build a teaching building; after it was done, I thought about giving him a call."

Once the other party heard that it was Chairman Zhou's primary school teacher, and also because of the donation to build a teaching building, they immediately became quite polite: "Hello Teacher, I will go report to Chairman Zhou now, please wait a moment."

The other party didn't hang up the phone, and after waiting for only two or three minutes, Zhou Andong's voice came from the receiver.

"Old Principal!"

Hearing Zhou Andong's voice, Zhao Hongzhang smiled, but his voice was a bit choked: "On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I thank you."

Zhou Andong was stunned: "Thank me for what?"

Zhao Hongzhang said: "Of course, for donating to build the teaching building; I have already met the person you sent, and the teaching building will be built at the school gate, so as not to affect the children's lessons."

Zhou Andong's heart moved: "Is this person named Yin Jisheng?"

"Yes!" Zhao Hongzhang said: "He said construction will start once the blueprints are out."

Zhou Andong said: "If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't say anything. Now that I have some ability, it is only right to build a teaching building for my alma mater. So, you don't need to thank me."

Zhao Hongzhang wiped the corner of his eye, which was a bit moist, and chatted with Zhou Andong for a good while before reluctantly putting down the phone.

At Yugong Group, Zhou Andong left the board office, then chuckled and returned to his office.

Ma Zhiyao and a thin, small old man were sitting on the sofa chatting about something, and seeing Zhou Andong return, they hurriedly stood up.

"Dongzi!" Ma Zhiyao said: "Since the matter has been negotiated, we're going back too."

Zhou Andong said: "Leave tomorrow, I'll arrange a meal tonight, let's have a drink."

"No!" Ma Zhiyao said: "Wait until there's an opportunity in the future."

"Fine then!" Zhou Andong didn't try to keep them, "I'll see you off."

"No need, no need!" The little old man hurriedly stopped him, "Please stay!"

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Factory Director Liu, I will arrange for someone to go over tomorrow, as long as there are no problems, we can sign the OEM contract."

"Thank you, thank you!" The little old man left after thanking him profusely.

Zhou Andong returned to the office, having been busy all morning, finally having some leisure, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. Then he picked up the newspaper, and at first glance, he saw that Red Star Winery and Qin Chi were holding press conferences at the same time.

Fully supporting partner Zhou Andong, swearing to defend the national brand, starting from April 26, 1993, for every bottle of Erguotou (Qin Chi) sold, one dime will be donated to Project Hope.

"Bastard!" Zhou Andong muttered and cursed, putting down the newspaper, "Partner my ass, isn't it just fear of being scolded."

Zhou Andong picked up the cigarette on the desk and lit it; he didn't need to think to know it was Zhang Shenghui's idea. Pulling him, this so-called partner, in, not only would he not be scolded, but it would also boost his own popularity.

"Damn it!" Zhou Andong couldn't help but curse again, "This old fox!"
