The leisurely life of the rich start

"That's good, that's good!" Chen Yuanbo said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, Principal Zhong of Hope Elementary School hopes that you can give a speech at the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow."
"I'll forget it. It's better to leave the work of mobilization to Principal Zhong!" Zhang Da thought for a while before refusing, "You know, I don't understand education."
"I only hope that the children in the school can change the fate of the family through learning. In this way, our work is meaningful."
"I understand, Mr. Zhang!" Chen Yuanbo leaned forward, "I will pass on your exact words to Principal Zhong."
"No, I'll tell him in person when I visit the school tomorrow." Zhang Da asked, "I heard that Principal Zhong is not in good health, is he?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, Principal Zhong has hypoglycemia and chronic gastritis. In addition, he also suffers from teachers' occupational diseases such as pharyngitis and cervical spondylosis."
Chen Yuanbo said, "Mr. Zhang, as you know, Principal Zhong's primary school was just an ordinary rural primary school before receiving our donation. Not only is it short of money, but it is also short of people."
"Principal Zhong used to be the school principal, language teacher, plumber, etc., working day and night, which caused many diseases. In fact, not only Principal Zhong, but also several teachers in this rural primary school were in poor health. Great."
"So... you go back and contact the third-level hospital in Shencheng, and when the time comes, you can register for an expert account and give Principal Zhong and the school's former faculty and staff a comprehensive physical examination. The cost will be borne by us."
Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "Now that the school has teachers and volunteers helping out, let them recuperate well."
Chen Yuanbo wondered: "Mr. Zhang, I actually persuaded them, but Principal Zhong and the others disagreed, saying that they were worried about school affairs."
Zhang Da said: "Tomorrow, I will personally talk to Principal Zhong and the others! Also, don't tell Principal Zhong that I will be there tomorrow, lest they have to come to pick us up again and cause trouble for nothing."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"
...
Early the next morning, Zhang Da, led by Chen Yuanbo, came to the first Hope Primary School built with Mingda's charitable donations.
"Mr. Zhang, the school's teaching buildings and hardware equipment are all built according to the standards of primary schools in Jinling City."
Chen Yuanbo's deputy, Zhu Wenjun, who is responsible for the construction work of the foundation, introduced,
"In addition, we have also built new buildings for the faculty and staff."
"Well, you guys did a good job." After walking around, Zhang Da praised Zhu Wenjun, and then said to Chen Yuanbo, "Let's go to the principal's office."
Chen Yuanbo nodded, stretched out his hand and signaled, "Mr. Zhang, this way."
Zhu Wenjun bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang, then I'm leaving first. I'm going to visit the construction site of another Hope Primary School."
Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, slow down on the road."
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your concern."
Two minutes later, the three of Zhang Da came to the office door.
Chen Yuanbo took a step forward and gently knocked on the door.
In the office, there was a vicissitudes of life but a kind voice: "Please come in!"
Chen Yuanbo gently opened the door and turned sideways to let Zhang Da enter the room first.
Zhang Da nodded towards Chen Yuanbo, and walked into the office.
An old man with gray hair and a thin face was standing at the desk.
On the desk, there is a Chinese book and a notebook full of notes.
It seemed that Principal Zhong was preparing lessons.
Zhang Da took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Principal Zhong!"
Cheng Mingming and Chen Yuanbo, who were following behind him, said together, "Hello, Principal Zhong!"
"Hello!"
Principal Zhong showed a smile, and then cast a questioning look at Chen Yuanbo.
"Principal Zhong, this is President Zhang Da of our foundation." Chen Yuanbo said, "The girl next to me is President Zhang's secretary, Ms. Cheng Mingming."
"Oh, you are Mr. Zhang Da?" Principal Zhong's eyes showed gratitude, and he was about to bow immediately: "Thank you!"
"Principal Zhong, I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" Zhang Da hurriedly supported the other party, "I can't afford the word 'Mr.' in front of you. You can call me by my name, or Xiao Zhang."
Zhang Da respected this old principal from the bottom of his heart.
The school is located in a mountainous area and it takes a lot of effort to walk to the school.
According to Chen Yuanbo, before the foundation sponsored the school and allocated cars to the teachers, Principal Zhong had to go back and forth on this mountain road two or three times a day.
In addition to teaching in schools, he also visits the homes of children from poor families.
He will encourage the parents of their children to find ways to let their children continue to study, and even use their own salary to subsidize their children's family.
"Then I will call you President Zhang." Principal Zhong stretched out his hand, "On behalf of the whole school staff, I thank you for your help to the school."
"I'm just doing what I can, and you are the one who has given everything for this school." Zhang Da shook hands with him, "Principal Zhong, thank you!"
"I'm just doing what I can." Principal Zhong said with a smile, "Let's sit down and chat, I'll let all the faculty and staff of the school come over."
"Vice President Chen, you are too. President Zhang came here and didn't tell us. At least let us greet President Zhang and express our gratitude."
"Principal Zhong, I told Vice President Chen not to tell you, because I was afraid to trouble you."
Zhang Da laughed, "I heard that you are not in good health?"
Chapter 319 Opening Ceremony and Buzzer Signing
Hearing this, Principal Zhong, who was still smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression: "President Zhang, I am very strong!"
Chen Yuanbo reminded helplessly: "Principal Zhong, you have hypoglycemia."
Principal Zhong shook his head and said, "I carry biscuits and candy with me, just eat a little when I feel dizzy."
"And your gastritis?"
"It's an old problem, just take some medicine."
"Laryngitis..."
"Is this considered a disease?" Principal Zhong slapped the table, "Go out and have a look, out of ten teachers, eight or nine have this problem!"
Chen Yuanbo scratched his head, then turned to look at Zhang Da.
"Principal Zhong, I know you can't let go of this school." Zhang Da said, "However, the body is also very important."
"I think there are many teachers who support teaching in the school, and employees of our charity foundation can also help manage the campus. Why not take this opportunity to take care of your health and come back to work?"
"You don't have to worry about the cost, the foundation will fully bear it."
"President Zhang, thank you for your kindness." Principal Zhong still shook his head, "You have helped the school a lot, and you have also helped many needy families in the village. I personally cannot accept your help anymore."
"Besides, these diseases of mine are chronic diseases. How can they be cured so easily? I don't think it is necessary to waste time on treatment. I want to spend all my time on education."
"Principal Zhong, I am really touched by your professionalism!"
Zhang Da stood up and bowed to the old principal.
Principal Zhong also stood up: "President Zhang, you don't have to do this..."
"You deserve all the respect!"
After Zhang Da finished speaking seriously, he suddenly showed a sly smile, "But..."
Seeing Zhang Da's smile, Principal Zhong suddenly instinctively felt something was wrong.
"However, if you are unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment, our donation to the school may have to be suspended."
Principal Zhong: "..."
After being silent for a while, he said helplessly and comfortingly:
"President Zhang, thank you!"
Zhang Da strikes while the iron is hot: "There are also several old faculty and staff of our school who will go to the hospital in Shencheng with you for examination."
"President Zhang, I listen to you."
...
After solving the problem of Principal Zhong's reluctance to go to the hospital, the three of Zhang Da had a meal in the school cafeteria before returning to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, the opening ceremony of Hope Primary School was held as scheduled.
No media coverage, no banners and bunting.
The primary school, which carries the future and hope of the village, officially opened.
Principal Zhong stood on the high platform of the playground and said with a look of relief:
"Children, for yourself, for your family, and for your country, you must study hard!"
In the crowd, Zhang Da and others clapped vigorously.
"Zhang Da, we are not in a hurry to return to Jinling, are we?"
At 9:[-], after the opening ceremony, Cheng Mingming quietly asked.
Zhang Da shook his head and said, "There's no rush, it doesn't matter if we don't go to the company this month."
After Netflix's sponsorship issues were resolved, all parts of the group were on a steady path.
Zhang Da also became the hands-off shopkeeper again.
"Then let's stay here for a while longer!" Cheng Mingming said, "I want to stay in the school as a volunteer and try to help as much as possible."
Zhang Da smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
Then, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a WeChat message to the manager of the Caibao shop.
Unexpectedly, he found out when he took out his mobile phone.
At 8 a.m., Edwards called him several times.
After calculating the time difference, Zhang Da tentatively sent a private message to Edwards.
Just half a minute later, Edwards called.
"Mr. Chairman, hello!"
"Hello, Director Edwards, I'm sorry I didn't hear the call before." Zhang Da switched to English and said, "Have you not rested yet?"
"Not yet, Mr. Chairman." Edwards smiled, "I want to report to you about the transfer. But I think, you must have seen the news by now, right?"
"Ahaha..." Zhang Da suddenly laughed, "I don't have a good signal today."
"Uh...Okay, Mr. Chairman..." Edwards was stunned for a moment, then continued, "We signed Joao Phoenix from Atletico Madrid before the end of the transfer window."
The sports director of Liverpool, who stayed up until the early hours of the morning, suddenly felt a little lost.
Obviously just three days ago, Chairman Zhang was still chasing after the club's transfer work.
How come it's only been three days, it's like forgetting the club?
Zhang Da asked, "That's great, how much did it cost us to sign Phoenix?"
After getting Zhang Da's affirmation, Edwards regained some spirit: "6500 million pounds, Mr. Chairman."
Zhang Da was suddenly a little excited: "It's great!"
Portugal's talented teenager, Phoenix, spent a full 1.2 million euros when he transferred from Benfica to Atletico Madrid.
Although his development was far below expectations after joining Atletico Madrid, his value also fell again and again.
But in any case, this Portuguese genius who is not yet 22 years old still has a lot of room for development.
The price of 6500 million pounds is also considered appropriate.
"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Mendes also contributed to it." Edwards continued, "In addition, we sold Grujic to the Porto team for 1000 million pounds."

Zhang Da asked: "Okay, so how much is our net spending this summer?"
"6600 million pounds, Mr. Chairman." Edwards said, "You have left us with 9400 million pounds of transfer funds."
"The top management of the team agreed that the team does not need to continue to sign in in a short period of time. Therefore, you can use this fund for other purposes."
"Let's use 5000 million pounds to expand the stadium first." Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "Fans can enter the stadium in the new season, and the ticket revenue is also a lot of money."
Edwards said: "Understood, Mr. Chairman, I will pass on your instructions to Director Harrison."
Zhang Da said: "Okay, I will also call Director Harrison tomorrow."
