Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Changgen immediately looked surprised:

"Three hundred-plus points can get you study abroad for further studies?"

In his subconscious, those who could study abroad were definitely geniuses among geniuses; how could someone with three hundred-plus points study abroad? Three hundred-plus points could at most get you into a junior college, and a private one at that.

One can only say, wealth determines horizon, and horizon determines a person's cognition.

"It can. This Mr. Wang, you might not know, three hundred-plus points just needs an intermediary to help operate a bit, and you can go to a world-renowned university abroad, and the university diploma you graduate with will even receive recognition from domestic authoritative institutions, harder than these stepping stones! The only problem is, it costs quite a lot of money."

Zhang Sheng said this with a laugh.

At that time, domestic information was not yet very open and smooth, and the trend of fawning on foreign things was also relatively prevalent, so getting a diploma from a diploma mill university abroad and returning to China, it was actually quite sought after.

Studying abroad had already developed into an industry chain.

Countless people doing the study abroad intermediary business earned basin-fulls and bowl-fulls from it.

Wang Changgen was even more astonished; his first reaction was:

"True or false? Won't it be a scammer's false advertising?"

Zhang Sheng laughed and said:

"Regardless of true or false, just treat it as letting my son go outside to broaden his horizons."

Niu Chunsheng spoke up at this time:

"Boss Zhang, you're really good to your son. If I had the conditions, I'd send my daughter abroad to study in the future too!"

Zhang Sheng laughed and said:

"Boss Niu, with your development momentum, you'll have this capability soon. I'm very optimistic about your potential!"

"Many thanks for Boss Zhang's high regard, Boss Zhang, you flatter me!"

The few people chatted one sentence you, one sentence I; Li Xiulan on the side couldn't get a word in edgewise, only able to stand there revealing a simple and honest smile.

Just then, the county leadership team entered the seating area.

A dark mass of people, surrounding the County Party Secretary, the County Magistrate, and several other important cadre members, came walking over this way with great momentum.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly left Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan behind, turned around to go welcome these big leaders.

And his image also rapidly underwent a transformation.

Just now when facing Wang Changgen, Li Xiulan, even when facing Niu Chunsheng, he was still high and mighty; now arriving before the leaders, he immediately nodded and bowed, a look of humble accompaniment.

When it comes down to it, no matter how awesome he is, no matter how successful his business, ultimately he's just a merchant.

Even if he earns tens of millions a year, he can't compare to the county leaders' monthly income of six thousand.

Because power, this thing, is something money cannot measure.

They might find it hard to help you make your business big and strong, but if they want to ruin your business, it's easy as flipping a hand.

This point is especially prominent in a remote small county town.

That is what people call the county Brahmins, the county gentry becoming aristocratic clans.

Facing Boss Zhang's active welcome, the County Party Secretary and County Magistrate merely smiled slightly and nodded, and didn't pay much more attention.

Several leading cadres arrived at the seats in front of the stage and took their seats in order.

The County Party Secretary and County Magistrate, as a matter of course, sat in the two positions right in the middle.

The other leaders then lined up in order on either side.

The leaders arrived, and this event ceremony immediately unfolded.

The host quickly took the stage, speaking flowery rhetoric.

After all, the leaders are very busy; after attending this event, they still have to go attend another event.

The host blabbered on saying quite a few words praising the county leadership team, and only then got to the key point.

"Under the guidance of the County Party Secretary, the County Magistrate, and the various big leaders of the county town, with the enthusiastic help of the various big entrepreneurs in the county, this time we raised a large sum of donations, to donate to our Top Scorer Wang Xiaohua, to encourage the grades he has achieved in his studies!"

"Next, please welcome student Wang Xiaohua, as well as his parents, to the stage to receive the award!"

The host waved her hand at them to signal; Wang Xiaohua and Wang Changgen, Li Xiulan, hurriedly walked onto the stage.

The host immediately had staff bring out a large sign, handed it to the three of the Wang family; the sign bore the words 'Three Hundred Thousand Yuan', then had the photographer take photos of the three of them.

While photos were being taken, the host had already begun the next procedure.

She took out a small card, faced the small card, and began reading the list of enterprises that donated urgently:

"Thank you to our Huangsheng Real Estate, Jiantao Group, Nanqiang Group, and twenty-seven other enterprises for their contributions to this event!"

The host had staff pull down advertising banners on the backdrop behind the stage.

Each banner bore the name of an enterprise.

Among them, the three major enterprises Huangsheng, Jiantao, and Nanqiang were in the very center position, and their banners were also wider and larger than the others.

The remaining enterprises used comparatively smaller banners, lined up in order on both sides, looking not so conspicuous.

"Didn't you donate five hundred thousand? They just give you such a small banner, can't even see our company unless you look closely! This is too infuriating!"

Below the stage, Lin Xiaofang watched all this, couldn't help but complain to Niu Chunsheng.

"This is really too dark. So many enterprises jointly donating, each at least one hundred thousand, that's at least hundreds of thousands raised, and in the end they only give Xiaohua three hundred thousand!"

Lin Xiaofang was still prattling on.

Although she didn't have much good impression of Wang Xiaohua's family, at this moment she still couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of Wang Xiaohua's family.

"You say a few less sentences."

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly advised in a low voice:

"It wouldn't be good if the Leader heard."

Lin Xiaofang smacked her lips, and cursed in a low voice:

"These guys, they eat people and don't spit out the bones. If there's an opportunity, we should move to a Big City to develop."

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"That requires having an opportunity. The County Town has the County Town's good points, the Big City has the Big City's good points. In the County Town, competition isn't that fierce; as long as you handle relationships well, it's fine. In a Big City, it all depends on ability. Whether we have that ability or not, it's not too easy to say."

Lin Xiaofang was depressed beyond measure, and at this time asked again:

"Speaking of which, didn't you say you were going to advertise at this event site? Wang Xiaohua this spokesperson has already been hired, how come we don't see our Spring City Real Estate's advertisement?"

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"I thought it over later, and decided to keep a low profile. After all, at this event, our Spring City Real Estate isn't the protagonist. We can't steal the limelight from the County Town's three major enterprises. Otherwise, it would draw too much hatred. So we didn't advertise. Waiting until after the event to plaster ads all over the city isn't too late either..."

And at this time, the event on stage proceeded to the next segment.

The host let Wang Xiaohua give a speech.

Wang Xiaohua followed routine, according to the draft he had written in advance, recited it properly and obediently.

Nothing more than thanking the Leader, thanking the donating enterprises, thanking the school teachers, thanking parents, and such words.

After Wang Xiaohua finished his speech, the host signaled for Wang Zhanggen to also say a couple of sentences.

Wang Zhanggen was a bit nervous. When he received the microphone, his hands were trembling slightly.

"Hello, hello, puff..." Wang Zhanggen tested the microphone. His mind went somewhat blank. He hurriedly turned his head to ask the host: "What do you want me to say?"

The host wore an embarrassed yet polite smile:

"You just say a couple of sentences casually. Say how you raised such an outstanding son!"

Wang Zhanggen then said:

"This is easy to say. The reason I could raise such a good son comes down to just two points. First, absolutely never let him use any electronics. Mobile phone no, MP3 MP4 no, even a tape recorder no. If he dared to secretly use one, I'd smash it to pieces right in front of his face! Second, if he made a mistake, he must be severely punished. There's a saying, how does it go? 'No beating, no talent.' My son's achievements today, he hasn't been spared the whip! He disobeys, I beat him. He doesn't do homework, I beat him. He tests poorly, I still beat him! Beat him until he submits. Anyway, however strict, that's how you do it, and it's right! My words are finished!"

Wang Zhanggen simply spoke off the cuff.

In fact, it's completely not like this, okay!

Actually, Wang Zhanggen fundamentally never beat Wang Xiaohua at all. He scolded him a few times, but it was completely not because of studies. From childhood to adulthood, he simply didn't care about Wang Xiaohua's studies at all!

Wang Xiaohua listening from the side was embarrassed to the point of curling his toes.

But the crowd below all applauded enthusiastically, expressing deep agreement.

The TV station's cameraman even specially filmed Wang Zhanggen's this segment of words. Estimated before long it will be broadcast. Who knows how many parents hearing these words will imitate, and how many children will suffer because of it.
