Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 524: Donation of Five Hundred Million

Xu Yang nodded with a smile in greeting, "Senior Lu, hello."

Zhao Yuxin also smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Lu Dingyu said enthusiastically, "Mr. Xu, I’ve long admired your reputation. I’m embarrassed to say that even though I graduated five years ago, my career is just starting, and I’m far from being able to compare with you."

Xu Yang replied, "Senior Lu, you’re too modest. Please, just call me junior or by my name. We are all students of Teacher Gao. When you call me Mr. Xu, it feels somewhat odd to me."

When Song Changqing addressed him as Mr. Xu, he didn’t say anything.

But it was different with Lu Dingyu. Since they were both students of Gao Lang, being referred to as Mr. Xu by him indeed felt a bit weird.

"Sure, Xu junior," Lu Dingyu was naturally very pleased.

It was known that Xu Yang was now a billionaire who had invested in many industries.

Whereas Lu Dingyu’s career had just begun, and his net worth was only a few billion.

Moreover, his company was not developing very smoothly.

Getting on good terms with Xu Yang meant that if something went wrong with his company, he could possibly seek Xu Yang’s help.

After chatting for a while, they became more familiar with each other.

Soon, the time for the celebration arrived.

The group then headed to the Arts Hall together.

By the time they reached the Arts Hall, most of the people had already arrived.

The first row was reserved for the school leaders, and the second row for government officials.

Outstanding alumni like Xu Yang were seated in the third row.

The celebration began with the principal’s speech, which lasted for over fifteen minutes.

Next, a government official took the stage to speak.

Last to speak were the representatives of the distinguished alumni.

There were three of them in total, one of whom had achieved the highest recognition in government work and was based in the capital.

This person was in his forties and delivered a speech without the authority of a high-ranking official, appearing very affable.

Another was the most successful person in the academic field, an academician at a national academy of science.

This individual was in his fifties, an academician in physics, who spoke with a humorous and witty demeanor.

The other one was Xu Yang.

Xu Yang shared some of his personal experiences, delivering quite an inspirational speech.

In conclusion, he announced a donation of five hundred million to the school to establish a scholarship to reward outstanding students.

This donation took everyone by surprise.

It was unexpected for the principal, Gao Lang, the other teachers and students, and the rest of the alumni.

Because before this, Xu Yang had not let slip the slightest hint, not even to Gao Lang or the principal.

After the surprise came delight.

Xu Yang’s willingness to set up a scholarship with five hundred million was certainly a good thing.

This was not just a matter of money, but also a demonstration of Xu Yang’s attachment to the school.

This scholarship would also become a bond between the school and Xu Yang, only benefiting the school without any drawbacks.

The principal led the applause, which was followed by everyone else.

All wished for the school to become even better.

The students currently enrolled were especially excited.

They were the ones who had a chance of receiving the scholarship.

Next up were the performances by the students.

The entire celebration lasted until eleven thirty.

After that, the school leaders and the distinguished alumni proceeded to a nearby hotel for lunch.

During the meal, the principal personally toasted Xu Yang in thanks and briefly discussed the establishment of the scholarship.

In the end, it was decided that Gao Lang would handle the matter.

Xu Yang also made a point of toasting the other familiar teachers, as well as the two alumni who had just given speeches on stage.

As for the others, since he didn’t know them, he didn’t bother toasting.

However, many of the business alumni came over to toast Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was a billionaire with a powerful network and also a potential future youngest Huaxia and world’s richest man—who wouldn’t want to build a good relationship with him?

After the banquet ended, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin said their goodbyes and left with the others.

Xu Yang had drunk quite a bit, so Zhao Yuxin drove him home.

That afternoon, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin rested at home.

Xu Yang took a nap and got up around three o’clock, then messaged everyone in the WeChat group of five.

This WeChat group consisted of Xu Yang, Wang Xiaocong, Jiang Yuheng, as well as Su Wenbin and Lin Junyi.

Xu Yang: It’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal together. How about dinner tonight?

Jiang Yuheng: No problem!

Su Wenbin: No problem!

Lin Junyi: No problem!

Wang Xiaocong: Damn, Xu Yang, you decide to mention dinner now without considering whether I can make it or not. I’m in the capital!

Jiang Yuheng said: Old Wang, if you really want to come for the meal, you can definitely make it in time. It’s just a two-hour flight, plus time at the airport and on the road, a bit over three hours in total. Or if you take your dad’s private jet, it’s even quicker.

Su Wenbin: Right, it all depends on whether you’re willing to have a meal with your brothers.

Xu Yang: Cough cough, Old Wang, I didn’t consider it thoroughly enough. I should have mentioned it earlier. But I do have something to discuss—I’ve found a project to invest in and want to bring you guys in on it. I’m planning to check it out tomorrow and wanted to get together tonight to talk about it.

If you’re not interested, you don’t have to come, or if you are interested, coming over tomorrow is fine too. You don’t necessarily need to come for dinner tonight.

Wang Xiaocong: Damn, if there’s a project to invest in, I definitely want to be part of it. I’ll also join the dinner. I’ll talk to my dad and see if I can take his private jet over. You guys must wait for me!

Jiang Yuheng: Another investment opportunity? Great, more money to be made, haha!

Su Wenbin: I can’t wait to be part of the dinner tonight.

Lin Junyi: The boss’s dinner is perfect for slacking off tonight, no need to do the live broadcast, haha!

Wang Xiaocong: I’ve talked to my dad. At first, he wasn’t happy about me using his private jet, but then I told him it was Xu Yang’s dinner and that there was an investment project, and he didn’t hesitate to say yes. In front of my dad, my credibility is nothing compared to Xu Yang’s!

Jiang Yuheng: Haha, that proves your dad has insight!

Su Wenbin: When can you get here if you take the private jet?

Lin Junyi: Geez, I’ve never been on a private jet before.

Su Wenbin: Neither have I, I wonder when I can have that experience.

Wang Xiaocong: Want to ride in one? That’s easy. One day I’ll take you all on a trip, and we’ll take my dad’s private jet. With Xu Yang’s influence, my dad will definitely agree, hahaha!

Wang Xiaocong: I should be able to arrive by six-thirty. Which restaurant are we meeting at?

Xu Yang: Junyi, I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t had much chance to watch your food exploration videos. Have you come across any good restaurants?

Lin Junyi: All the restaurants I explore are great. I recently found one that’s particularly good, Jufu Grand Banquet Hall. Let’s go to that one.

Xu Yang: Perfect!

Xu Yang: Let’s go with six-thirty then.

Lin Junyi: Alright, no problem. Your journey continues with NovelBin.Côm

A few minutes passed.

Lin Junyi: It’s booked, we’ll be in the Tian number private room at Jufu Grand Banquet Hall! Just report your name when you arrive and the wait staff will take you to the private room!

Jiang Yuheng: I know of it, it’s a newly opened place with great reviews for its dishes. I haven’t had the chance to go yet, so this is the perfect opportunity to try it out.

Su Wenbin: Me too, looking forward to a good meal tonight!

Xu Yang: Just be on time.

Xu Yang: Old Wang, don’t worry if you’re late, we’ll wait for you.

Wang Xiaocong: Yeah, I might be a bit late given the distance from the airport to the restaurant and also considering the traffic.

After some idle chat, the conversation ended.
