90 Hinting (1/2)
After a busy day, everyone had completed their tasks.
Zhou Yi personally went to the local government bureau and got the school approved. Someone investing in a poor village was unusual, but more than welcome. No local officials would refuse it unless they were fools.
Yuan Datong, after running around and consulting several construction contractors, had settled on a relatively affordable and well-recognized contractor and introduced him to Zhang Xiaohua.
The contractor negotiated the price with Zhang Xiaohua at HuaXiang Entertainment in the afternoon. After both parties felt satisfied, they signed an agreement and the deposit was paid. At present, the contractor had already sent people to the building site and they planned to start the construction work soon.
.....
At 7pm, Xinglong Hotel.
Tonight, Yuan Datong took it upon himself to treat the guests. He intended to wash the dust off Xu Fengnian and gather everyone together for some fun.
At this point, everyone had already taken a seat.
Yuan Datong wasn't stingy. He just earned 15.2 million today, so covering a meal was like a drizzle for him.
After the wine and food were served, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaohua and habitually waited for him to take the lead.
Zhang Xiaohua also habitually picked up the gla.s.s, but before he could open his mouth, Zhou Yi suddenly stood up and held a gla.s.s up. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua with grat.i.tude and excitedly said: ”Boss Zhang, I represent all the villagers in the village, we all pay tribute to you! Your great deeds, we shall remember for generations to come.”
After the speech, Zhou Yi raised his neck and downed the full gla.s.s of alcohol. The pungent alcohol made him scrunch up his face.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly and quickly drained up the gla.s.s of wine, and then smiled: ”No need to be so polite. Not to mention that these things are within my ability, helping the next generation is the least I can do, say h.e.l.lo to the villagers for me.”
Zhou Yi nodded and said with enthusiasm: ”When the folks heard that you were going to build a school for the children, they declared you as their benefactor. The folks also want me to tell you that if you ever need anything, just say the word and they will be there immediately.”
Zhang Xiaohua quickly waved his hand signalling it was nothing major.
”Boss, you also have our respect!” Emma stood up looking at Zhang Xiaohua and gave a toast to him.
Emma was heartbroken seeing the conditions of the children last time. She wanted nothing more than help out those children. Unfortunately, her ability was too small at that time.
