Chapter 163 System Threshold Release_3
Why couldn't Gu Heng, who actually donated ten million yuan, become a Peking University alumnus?
As the first person's applause began, a rustling, gradually cohesive applause started, resounding throughout the entire auditorium...
But when Gu Heng spoke, one completely couldn't guess what he was thinking...
It was initially thought that once the questioning voices ceased, Gu Heng would be able to speak properly.
However, his next words circled back to the beginning...
"At first, I also thought that by donating ten million to the school, becoming an alumnus was well deserved...
But after listening to Academician Chen Zhizhong and a few other alumni's speeches, I realized that I still fell far short. Compared to their contributions to Peking University, my modest contribution is nothing at all..."
So...
I decided to increase my donation, to give another new sum to Peking University."
Ten million isn't enough?
More donations?
These were the thoughts in everyone's mind...
Even the Peking University leaders sitting in the first row didn't know what Gu Heng was plotting...
"I don't plan to donate this money to the school, because to be honest, Peking University doesn't lack funds. Even if I donate another hundred million, it would only be the icing on the cake for the school...
Therefore, I plan to make this donation in the form of two funds." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
At this moment, there were no discussions in the auditorium; everyone was waiting for Gu Heng to continue...
"I will establish the Gu Heng Financial Aid and the Gu Heng Scholarship, to be jointly supervised with the school, aimed at rewarding and assisting our outstanding students at Peking University.
The Gu Heng Financial Aid, as the name implies, is to reward those students at Peking University who excel academically. It will be awarded to 2000 outstanding students each year, with a uniform scholarship of 10,000 yuan regardless of levels.
As for the Gu Heng Scholarship, it's quite simple.
All Peking University students from impoverished backgrounds can apply for the scholarship. As long as they meet the criteria, the scholarship will cover all four years of an undergraduate's tuition and provide a living subsidy each semester, allowing them to concentrate on their studies.
Furthermore, there is no limit to the number of scholarships; all students who meet the criteria can receive the scholarship aid!
Of course, I didn't discuss this with the school's leaders beforehand—it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. But since I can mention it in such a setting, I can take full responsibility. I believe our school's leaders wouldn't refuse me, right?"
The leaders sitting in the first row were dumbfounded...
They had him speak, and out of the blue, he established two funds?
But the students below were frantically clapping...
Gu Heng's donation amount to the university didn't matter to them...
Because even if he donated ten billion, the school would not spend it on these ordinary students...
But the Gu Heng Scholarship and Financial Aid he established were directly relevant to them...
Especially some students from poor backgrounds, upon hearing Gu Heng's words, almost clapped their hands swollen...
Listening to the applause below, watching the cameras of the journalists capturing the event, Gu Heng's lips curved into a faint smile...
Altogether, spending another three to four million a year, but he had markedly built his reputation...
He believed that in a few days, the name Gu Heng would completely resonate through Peking University, even across the internet...
The money was well spent!
Just when Gu Heng was feeling proud and pleased...
Two voices came into Gu Heng's mind...
[Congratulations Host for gaining immense prestige at Hua Country's top institution, Peking University, becoming a well-known alumnus of Peking University, significantly enhancing your social status, and unlocking system reward thresholds!]
[Host, in your grand speech at the Peking University anniversary, you generously used system resources to donate a large sum of money to enhance your own reputation and prove your worth. Excessively successful, awarded one billion yuan.
Due to the excessive funds, frequent operations are not feasible. The funds are currently stored in the system account, and the host can withdraw them when needed.]
Listening to the system's voice, Gu Heng's smile could no longer be contained...
The social status that had troubled him for so long was thoroughly resolved just because of his identity at Peking University's North Campus...
Inadequate social status, a mere title from Peking University, and his social status dramatically soared...
Indeed, backing by a prestigious institution brings great benefits...
