How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

So, I should take responsibility for this situation...

I can't just sit back and enjoy the merits of Gu Heng's donations without doing anything myself, without taking any responsibility, can I?

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world...

But by then, Gu Heng could no longer bear it. He stood up abruptly, interrupting Director Xu's spitting speech and said to Lin Guangzhong, "Principal, I admit what I did today was somewhat thoughtless.

If the school is unwilling to accept my donation, that's fine. I'll contact the media immediately to clear things up! I'll take full responsibility for any impact caused today.

However, I must speak plainly. To protect my reputation, I will continue to establish the foundation after clearing things up in the media; whether the partner institution will be Tsinghua, Fudan, or Zhejiang University, I'm not sure now. I'll see which university is willing to accept the donation."

Even a clay figure has a boiling point...

Not to mention Gu Heng is a living person...

Donating money and still being criticized, where is the justice in that?

Upon hearing Gu Heng's words, Director Xu glared at him and said, "Are you threatening the school?!"

Gu Heng merely glanced at this bald old man and responded indifferently, "I think you've misunderstood, Director Xu. What do you mean by saying I'm threatening the school? It's my own money. Since you, Director Xu, are reluctant to accept my donation, can't I donate to whoever I want?

What? Do you, Director Xu, have the authority to stop me from donating to other schools?"

A donation of more than a hundred million is something no university would refuse.

As soon as Gu Heng makes the offer, you can be assured that the next day, several universities' external affairs departments would come forward to secure the donation.

That is why Gu Heng is so confident...

But as long as things don't reach that point, Gu Heng also doesn't want to take such drastic measures...

Doing so would be like rubbing Peking University's face in the dirt...

Considering Peking University's influence in Hua Country...

If they targeted him now, he guessed he would have to go abroad to develop his career...

The bald old man had not been contradicted like this for so many years; his eyes bulged as big as bull's testicles and he was about to speak when Lin Guangzhong swiftly interrupted, "Director Xu, if there's nothing else, you might want to go to the auditorium and see if there are any emergency situations that need to be handled."

Knowing that Lin Guangzhong was growing impatient, the bald old man reined himself in a bit, silently returning to his seat without a word...

Lin Guangzhong, seeing that Director Xu hadn't left, didn't mind but turned to Gu Heng and said, "It's not entirely fair to blame Director Xu for his harsh words. This is a significant project. Once started, it cannot stop for at least four academic years.

If you encounter financial issues midway, the school would have to fill the funding gap.

But every penny of the school is accounted for, so we have to be cautious. Do you understand this, Gu Heng?"

Gu Heng nodded.

The principal is indeed a principal, his level of conversation was clearly not on the same level as the bald old man...

It was the same distrust towards him, but the way it was expressed was much more palatable than the bald old man's ranting...

Thinking this, Gu Heng stood up and said directly, "Principal, I understand that the school must find it difficult to trust me significantly. I get that.

So, I've thought of a solution.

I'll just directly inject the funds for four years into an account for both the school and me to jointly oversee. If the project goes smoothly for these four years, I would continue to fund the foundation, but if there are many problems during these four years, we will simply terminate the project after that.

This way, the school shouldn't have to worry about further issues, right?"

As expected...

As soon as Gu Heng finished speaking, everyone looked at him incredulously...

Director Xu had just reported the rough figures...

1.4 billion...

It was no small amount...

It was already one-eighth of what Peking University received in donations in a year...

"Are you sure?"

Hearing the surprise in Lin Guangzhong's voice, Gu Heng shrugged indifferently, "It's just over a billion, not a very large amount."

Lin Guangzhong: "..."

Liu Qiao: "..."

Director Xu: "..."

Peking University leaders: "..."

Listening to Gu Heng's casual tone, they were left speechless...

You can't blame Gu Heng for being arrogant...

The system's reward threshold had just been lifted...

And it rewarded him with 10 billion...

Now, Gu Heng had reached the most financially abundant period since obtaining the system...

Counting the 10 billion in the company account, Gu Heng was holding 21 billion in cash...

Over a billion is really nothing to Gu Heng now...

"Since that's the case, let's initiate this scholarship program. It shouldn't be just you, Gu Heng, paying alone. I will have someone draft a specific charter, and as the main constituent, we'll establish a scholarship foundation where the school contributes 20% for a 20% stake, with oversight and operational rights.

As for the remaining 80%, you'll cover it, Gu Heng.

The foundation's name, as you mentioned in the auditorium, shall be the Gu Heng Scholarship Fund, but we need to add a prefix, Peking University·Gu Heng Scholarship Fund. That should be fine, right?"

Gu Heng had no objections.

With the prefix adding [Peking University], the whole foundation gained considerably more prestige, and his name was still included. What else was there to pick on?

A group of people simply discussed the most basic charter in the meeting room...

Half an hour later...
