30: Chapter 30: To round it up to one hundred million.

Director Hu Qibin followed behind, and seeing Qin Chuan buy at least several thousand yuan worth of books, he was full of admiration; the height of Qin Chuan in his heart rose another level.

"Secretary Qin is remarkable."

He is wholeheartedly devoted to the teachers and students of Dahe Township Central School; first, he paid out the back wages, then he came to the provincial capital to run around for funds, and now he is paying out of his own pocket to buy thousands of yuan worth of books in one go.

A sense of lofty respect welled up in his heart!

So much so that by the time Qin Chuan had bought the books and finished payment, Director Hu Qibin had not yet fully come back to his senses, until Qin Chuan called his name.

"Director Hu, here is the receipt. Keep an eye on when this batch of books arrives at our Central School."

Having bought so many books at once, the Xinhua Bookstore provided a shipping service, and it was even free of charge; these books would be packed and then mailed to Dahe Township Central School.

Director Hu Qibin hurriedly put away the receipt, "Very well. As soon as the books arrive at the school, I will report to you immediately."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

Not long after the two walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore, Qin Chuan's mobile phone rang. Although it was an unfamiliar number, Qin Chuan answered it without hesitation.

It is different within the system; regardless of what kind of call it is, one generally has to answer it.

"Hello, this is Qin Chuan," Qin Chuan said in a clear voice.

Secretary Zhang Yuntao's voice came from the phone, "Secretary Qin Chuan, this is Zhang Yuntao. Are you free tonight? Could you do me the honor of having a meal together?"

He was a department-level cadre, his rank unknown how much higher than Qin Chuan's, but at this moment he had no airs at all, as if friends were talking on the phone.

Qin Chuan smiled, feeling quite happy inside.

See, this funding should be no problem now that the other party had taken the initiative to call. Qin Chuan readily replied, "Secretary Zhang, it just so happens that I also wanted to introduce you to the situation of the various schools in Dahe Township. How about we eat and chat tonight?"

"Good, no problem," Secretary Zhang Yuntao said, "Then I will host. I also want to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the situation in Dahe Township."

After finishing the call, seeing Director Hu Qibin looking at him with some excitement, Qin Chuan said, "That was a call from Secretary Zhang Yuntao of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League."

At once, Director Hu Qibin could no longer hide the excitement in his heart!

Secretary Zhang Yuntao had taken the initiative to call!

He had taken the initiative to invite Secretary Qin Chuan to dinner!!!

This, this, this was simply like a dream; the surprise was truly too great.

Immediately afterward, thinking that Secretary Qin Chuan was the son of the Provincial Party Secretary, Director Hu Qibin felt this was somewhat normal.

In the evening, Secretary Zhang Yuntao hosted a banquet and warmly entertained Qin Chuan.

The two drank and chatted about many things.

Qin Chuan introduced the situation in Dahe Township quite comprehensively, not just the Central School, but also introduced several other major primary schools.

Secretary Zhang Yuntao listened attentively, asking a few questions from time to time.

After listening to these introductions, Secretary Zhang Yuntao asked, "Secretary Qin Chuan, having heard your introduction, I can basically make the decision. You completely meet the requirements for our Project Hope model project."

"Have you done a budget? For the Central School and the eleven primary schools under it, to be completely demolished and rebuilt, how much funding is needed in total?"

Dahe Township is relatively large and has a relatively large population. Originally, there were twenty or thirty primary schools, but a few years ago, they were merged. Now there are eleven primary schools in total, plus the Central School, making twelve in all.

How much money would it need?

Qin Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "If our Dahe Township Central School is demolished and rebuilt according to the construction standards of an urban junior high school, it would take about fifty million, and adding the eleven primary schools below, it would take about eighty to ninety million."

Secretary Zhang Yuntao said, "I will give you one hundred million, let's round it off, how about that!"

"Clatter!"

The cup in Director Hu Qibin's hand fell to the ground.

His heart was in turmoil; oh my god, one hundred million!

He had originally thought that twenty or thirty million would be good, but it turned out to be one hundred million. If this news were to spread back to Dahe Township, the entire Dahe Township would be in an uproar.

As the cup fell to the ground, Director Hu Qibin immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

Qin Chuan did not criticize him, just smiled; such a reaction from Director Hu Qibin was very normal.

Hearing about one hundred million, Qin Chuan was also very pleasantly surprised, but his mentality was very strong, so it just wasn't as obvious on his face.

"Secretary Zhang Yuntao, thank you for your support for the educational cause in our Dahe Township. We will definitely use this one hundred million well, earmarking it for its specific purpose, and will certainly build these schools into high-standard schools."

"Good. Then come to my office tomorrow morning, and we will sign the formal documents."

So fast, so direct?

Qin Chuan was a little surprised, thinking that Secretary Zhang Yuntao would at least have to go to Dahe Township for a field inspection before allocating these funds.

Who knew that the field inspection was skipped entirely; the documents would be signed tomorrow morning, and it was estimated that it wouldn't take many days for the money to be allocated.

"Good, then I will come to bother Secretary Zhang again tomorrow morning."

After the meal, the two shook hands and then went their separate ways.

Director Hu Qibin said, "Secretary, I still feel like I'm dreaming; this is one hundred million!"

Qin Chuan said, "You are not dreaming; this is real. Before long, our Dahe Township will have one beautiful school after another."

The next day.

Qin Chuan, wearing athletic shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and sneakers, was running along the beautiful asphalt road inside the Provincial Party Committee Villa District.

Provincial Party Secretary Qin Zhendong did not come along today; he had run two or three kilometers yesterday for the first time ever, so he probably needed to stop for two or three days.

Qin Chuan was jogging alone and feeling good. After running for a while, his eyes lit up slightly. Ahead, a girl with a long ponytail, also in athletic attire, with a very good figure, was jogging there.

Although he couldn't see her face, this figure from the back was attractive enough; this figure was at least a 95 out of 100.

Long legs, rounded hips, slender waist, fair skin...

He just didn't know what her face looked like. Qin Chuan sped up, caught up in a moment, and took the initiative to greet her.

"Beauty, out for a run too?"

The beauty was very pretty; not only was her figure good, but her face was also exquisite, also scoring at least 95, even prettier than many celebrities.

Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

In the Provincial Party Committee Villa District, there was actually such a pretty girl; whose family had such strong genes?

"Hello."

The girl knew that those who could morning jog here would not have simple backgrounds, mostly likely the children of some provincial leader, so she also responded.

Qin Chuan was sunny and handsome, 183 cm tall, with a physique that killed 99% of boys, naturally able to win the favor of girls.

The pretty girl's face turned slightly red, appearing a bit shy.

Qin Chuan was a boy, so he was much thicker-skinned; he simply ran side-by-side with the girl, talking and chatting from time to time.

It was just that he didn't expect this scene to be seen from afar by his mother, Luo Rong.

It was rare for her son to come back and stay for two days, so Luo Rong personally cooked breakfast, not even letting the nanny help. Today was the same; early in the morning, she went out and bought a lot of ingredients, including the dishes for lunch and dinner.

Who knew that from afar she would see a familiar figure.

"That's my son!"

After recognizing it was Qin Chuan, she immediately looked at the girl beside him and quickly recognized her too. Isn't that Vice Governor Zhu's daughter?
