Chapter 148 Giving Up His Alma Mater, Principal Chen's Surprise
Jiang Feng understood the old principal's intention to shirk responsibility, so he didn't say anything more and dropped the matter.
They will still donate 1000 million yuan to the school for the "Love Lunch" program, scholarships, and the renovation of student dormitories, etc.
He could guess what the old principal was thinking—
I'm about to retire and I'm unwilling to take such a risk, even if I achieve something, there's no reward.
If something goes wrong, you'll have to take responsibility yourself!
The credit belongs to someone else.
The responsibility lies with oneself.
It's normal to be unwilling; you can't force it!
After leaving Yanshan Town Central School, Jiang Feng and his group went to Changshan Town, which is next door, to inquire about cooperation intentions.
Changshan Town is much larger than Yanshan Town, and its schools are more modern, with two schools in total.
Changshan Town Primary School
Changshan Town Middle School
It has primary, middle and high schools, and although the quality is not very good, it is much better than Yanshan Town.
Moreover, it's very close to Nanshan Village!
10km
The area is relatively prosperous because there are coal mines nearby; there was a state-owned coal mine during the planned economy era.
They even built a railway specifically for this purpose!
To this day, the railway is still in operation. It is a subordinate unit of the local railway bureau and has been contracted out to a railway logistics company.
Jiang Feng has already contacted the company and bought one of their railway freight stations in Changshan Town.
From now on, this will be the headquarters of [Nanshan Airlines].
The gold rush train also stops here!
Jiang Feng and his group went to Changshan Elementary School to inquire about their cooperation intentions in school-enterprise collaboration. They were warmly welcomed by Principal Chen Rong, who even invited the principal of Changshan Town Middle School to join the discussion.
An agreement was reached very quickly!
Both principals strongly support it!
Furthermore, they reported to the relevant county and municipal authorities and applied for their approval to conduct joint experimental teaching with Nanshan Group.
Unlike the former principal of Yanshan Town Central School, they are now in their prime and eager to achieve results, get promoted and receive a raise, and transfer to the education administration department to achieve a leap in career advancement.
This [school-enterprise cooperation] is a stepping stone for their progress. If it is successfully implemented, its impact will be unimaginable!
Tsk tsk tsk~
Chen Rong secretly sighed: He must have been incredibly lucky to have encountered such a pleasant surprise. He was grateful to the old principal and his family of Yanshan Town Central School, and to his ancestors for eight generations.
(￣?￣)
Wu Guodong, the principal of Changshan Town Middle School, also felt that this was a windfall and made a firm guarantee:
"President Jiang, rest assured, we will do our best to make this happen. From now on, all the children of Nanshan Group employees will be sent to schools in Changshan Town!"
Chen Rong quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's right, President Jiang. Our Changshan Elementary School has many vacant classrooms."
“We can allocate a whole floor with six classrooms to a dedicated class for Nanshan Group, one class per grade.”
Wu Guodong made the same arrangement.
"Our middle school is the same. We have a dedicated floor with six classrooms for the Nanshan Group’s exclusive classes. There is one class for each grade in junior high and high school. The student dormitory is also a dedicated floor."
The two principals showed great sincerity!
Jiang Feng was quite generous.
Without hesitation, I announce:
"I will donate 10 million yuan to each of the two schools, as well as two computer classrooms, multimedia teaching equipment for each class, and physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories."
"Install air conditioning in the entire office!"
Upgrading student dormitories—
Upgrade the synthetic track!
"In terms of teaching, I will send several bilingual teachers, or even trilingual teachers and top-level teachers to teach at the two schools. They will mainly teach our special class, as well as English to the regular classes."
"Furthermore, our company's elites, including international students and foreign employees from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of California, the Russian Capital Aviation Academy, and the University of Tokyo, will also come to the schools to give lectures and exchange ideas with our teachers!"
(⊙_⊙)
Chen Rong and Wu Guodong gasped in astonishment. A foreign teacher who graduated from a world-renowned university? That's impressive!

Jiang Feng continued, "Our students may only study in China for half a year, and spend the other half of the year studying in California as part of an international exchange program."
"Correspondingly, the children of our foreign employees in the United States, Russia, and Japan will also be able to exchange with our two schools to receive Chinese cultural education and improve their Chinese language skills."
Chen Rong, who was drinking water, spat it out.
"Pfft~"
"International exchange student? Is this... is this appropriate?"
Wu Guodong was surprised, delighted, and fearful all at once: "President Jiang, approximately how many foreign students will there be? How long will they be studying here?"
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and did a quick calculation:
"I don't know the specifics—"
"I estimate there may be close to a hundred!"
"A few months each year."
Dozens of Russian employees, dozens of American employees, as well as Japanese employees, and even the children and siblings of employees from partner companies (such as joint venture banks for African projects).
They all have a chance to apply for an exchange program with China.
After all, anyone with a brain would understand that the children trained through Jiang Feng's personally overseen educational program would become the core strength of the next generation of the Nanshan Group!
Who can not be moved?
Who wouldn't be anxious?
Lambert has already quietly sent messages to his old friends, telling them to get the kids ready and not to miss it!
Chen Rong and Wu Guodong swallowed hard.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a burning flame in each other's eyes. This matter was enormous, capable of being elevated to the level of international influence, and of great significance.
County and city-level departments simply cannot approve it.
We must apply to the higher authorities.
It may even require approval from the ministry!
But it will most likely pass, and it will be strongly supported. Those who know, know. Who doesn't like this kind of vanity project?
╮(╯_╰)╭
They deserve a lot of credit!
However, if something goes wrong, the consequences will certainly be unimaginable, and even a complete demotion would be considered a lenient punishment.
Fortune favors the bold; do they even have a choice?
Wu Guodong made up his mind and said, "No problem, President Jiang, we will definitely cooperate and do everything as you say."
Chen Rong thought about it carefully and suggested:
"President Jiang, how about this? In addition to what you said, I'd like to add one more thing: our Nanshan Group's exclusive classes are divided into small classes and large classes. They can take the small classes on their own."
"Large classes, together with students in regular classes!"
"Especially for foreign children, what's the point of the exchange program if they don't interact with more Chinese children?"
"So, they take their own private lessons."
"The large classes will be held together with the regular classes, so that our regular class students can have more exposure to foreign language communication."
"President Jiang, do you think this will work?"
Jiang Feng nodded slightly and praised with a smile:
"Principal Chen's suggestion is excellent!"
"I agree. Let's do it your way, dividing classes into small groups and large groups. This way, students can interact with each other without affecting their individual learning progress. How about we start in the new semester in the second half of the year?"
The two principals discussed the matter briefly.
There are no problems!
It's early May now, there are still 4 months to go!
Should we have enough time?
Once the approval is granted, the classrooms will be renovated, including refurbishment, renovation, and installation of air conditioning and teaching equipment.
In addition to six classrooms, there are offices, a security personnel duty room, a health room, an information classroom, and a large lecture hall.
Jiang Feng made a special request:
"Regarding the cafeteria, I can't ask you to raise the standards, so I can only arrange a separate cafeteria window for the [special class]."
"Unless the cafeteria is willing to use the vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy products, fish and poultry, pure rapeseed oil, or even seasonings that we specify."
"We won't accept branded cooking oil either!"
The fear is that they might find kerosene, water-reducing agents, or gutter oil in their food. After all, as early as three years ago (2017), Lao Gan Ma was found to contain petroleum in Europe. It has never been a secret that edible oil tankers are mixed with other products.
Chen Rong and Wu Guodong gave an awkward laugh:
"We will try our best to coordinate..."
"If all else fails, then we'll provide separate meals!"
