Chapter 242: White Rites

"Hey, what's this for? With so many cars, what big people are coming to our embroidery city? ”

"I haven't heard of it, what big leader is coming? The one who can pick up people at the train station is the premier of the State Council! ”

"Huh? Why do you have to be the prime minister to come to the train station to pick people up? ”

"You don't understand that, do you? If it is a high-ranking public servant in the province, he must have come by car, and Mukden is not far away anyway. If it is a provincial or ministerial level from the central government, most of them also make a plane to Mukden, and then transfer a car to our embroidery city. I think that only the prime minister, who can mobilize the special train, will work so many people waiting at the train station. ”

"Oh, that seems to make sense. Oh, that's not right. If this is coming at the level of the Elders, why can't you see a car in a province? ”

"Well...... Look, there's someone in the car! ”

The Xiucheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can be said to have poured out of the nest today, and even the old secretary who was already waiting for retirement took the lead in getting out of the car tremblingly and with crutches.

The Xiucheng Yangtze River Bridge followed, followed by the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Municipal Youth League Committee, the Red Cross Society and the Propaganda Department.

After the train from Beijing entered the station, it was not long before a sparse crowd began to come out of the station. As long as the people who come out have long eyes, they are not blinded by the luxurious lineup in front of them.

Damn, who has such a big face, and actually let the leading brother of the two sets of teams of the Xiucheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government come out to welcome together? Could it be that there are high-ranking public officials such as provincial governors and secretaries who have taken a ride with them?

Thinking about it this way, the crowd was really a little excited.

The crowd at the exit of the train station went from sparse to swarming. Then it sparse again. Until the last of the year, two figures, one old and one young. Only then did I walk to the ticket gate.

Seeing that the two of them had picked up the tickets, the old secretary of the municipal party committee took the lead and Jiang Daqiao followed. A large number of public servants behind him also took a hula step.

"This is Mr. Bai, right?" Although the old secretary was on crutches, he still saluted him with difficulty. His posture was very low, almost in a pious gesture, as if he were paying homage to his predecessors.

"Bai Lao, this is Secretary Zhao of the Municipal Party Committee of Xiucheng. This is the mayor of our city, Fujiang......"

Zhou Shuo stood beside Bai Lao and introduced the public servants who came to greet him one by one.

"I'm Bai Fangli, but I don't dare to be Secretary Zhao's gift." Veteran Bai helped the old secretary up, don't look at him is over eighty years old, but his body is much tougher than Secretary Zhao.

"Hello Bai Lao. I'm Changjiang Bridge. Jiang Daqiao also took the initiative to stretch out his hand, tightly held Bai Lao's wrinkled hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Mayor Jiang, hello!" Bai Lao's voice was loud and confident. Although the old man is already in his old age, he does not have the old age of the dragon bell at all.

"Hello Bai Lao, I am Wang Dazhi, director of the Xiucheng Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Hello Bai Lao, I am Zhang Danian of the Municipal Youth League Committee."

"Hello Bai Lao......"

The public servants who followed behind Jiang Daqiao also stepped forward one after another, respectfully introducing themselves to Bai Lao.

White salute. It is the chairman of the Panhan Scholarship Foundation that Zhou Shuo found all the way from Tanggu. This old man, who is already old, how can he be virtuous, and how can he be treated so seriously?

The vast majority of people present did not know the answer to this question. But that didn't delay them. Show your respect to this old man with the white salute.

The 100 million yuan Pan Han Scholarship Fund, in addition to national projects, was probably the largest scholarship fund in China at that time. The establishment of the Foundation requires the consent of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The subsidy objects need to be collected by the Municipal Youth League Committee, and the funds need to be allocated by the Red Cross Society......

Anyone with 100 million in cash. Waiting to be distributed through them, this person will be respected by them. Even if you can't get up and down their hands. The expansion of power alone and the resulting achievements are already very mouth-watering.

Such a grand treatment has long attracted a large group of citizens, forming a thick circle around it. In the distance, people whispered to each other, guessing the identity of the mysterious old man. In the eyes of the citizens, this old man must undoubtedly have a noble social status, or an outstanding identity and bloodline. Because before that, I had never heard of the two leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government welcoming an ordinary person together.

"Who is this old man, I think this is the old revolution that we have left in the embroidery city?"

"It's probably the father of a senior civil servant, I haven't heard that any of us from Xiucheng have become big officials in recent years!"

"Hey, don't guess. Who is the person next to the old man? I know, the chairman of the Pan Han Group! The old man is rich, I guess this old man is his grandfather! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Principal Zhou is a native of Xiucheng, and his parents are both workers in the 266 factory. His grandfather died 800 years ago, who doesn't know about this matter in the 266th Factory? ”

"Then how do you know that Lu Dao is not his grandfather's brother?"

", it's his grandfather's brother, can he be worthy of the municipal party committee and the municipal government to greet him?"

"Damn, who are you looking at with these little eyes?"

"What are you doing?"

"I'm not convinced, right?"

……

Not to mention the sudden chaos in the crowd of onlookers, anyway, at such a time, there will definitely be plainclothes to deal with emergencies soon.

Ye Weiran, a front-line reporter for Xiucheng TV, and Pi Pi Nan, a cameraman, ran over from the old broadcast van with a long wire. The fresh and beautiful Ye Weiran quickly attracted the attention of the masses.

"Three, two, one!" As the indicator light of Pipi Man's camera turned green, Ye Weiran raised the microphone and began to introduce the scene.

"Hello audience friends, now I am at the exit of Xiucheng Railway Station to bring you a live report. The leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government of our city are here today to greet Mr. Bai Fangli, Chairman of the Panhan Scholarship Fund......"

"The name Mr. Bai Fangli may not have been heard of by most people, why can this eighty-two-year-old man become the chairman of the Pan Han Scholarship Foundation, which has 100 million student funds? Below, I will introduce to you the deeds of this old Mr. Bai Fangli's student aid. ”

Since 1987, Mr. Bai Fangli has relied on the money earned from three rounds of pedaling to help poor students fulfill their dreams of going to school. He used all the money he received for his labor to support education. In the past eight years, he has donated a total of 20,000 yuan to the society, and he has never stopped in the wind and rain......

This time, Mr. Bai Fangli was invited by Zhou Shuo, chairman of Panhan Group, and then went north to take up the chairmanship of Fanhan Scholarship Foundation. This foundation is committed to helping all poor students in the Xiucheng area, not only laid-off workers who are living in difficulty, poor students in rural areas, but even families in Xiucheng who are unable to study in universities and students from other places who are studying in Xiucheng, can apply for grants from the Pan Han Scholarship Fund. ”

"For students who apply for bursaries, they will all be confirmed by Mr. Bai Fangli. For the outstanding students who have excelled in their studies, the Panhan Group will also award scholarships of varying amounts every year......"

Ye Weiran's explanation was not only recorded by Pi Pi Nan's camera, but also reached the ears of the surrounding onlookers.

20,000 yuan in 1995, many people bought out after ten years of service, which is so much. What's more, relying on manual work such as pedaling three wheels, it is really hard-earned money. What's more, Bai Fangli has not only been riding for eight years, but has been riding for nearly twenty years. From the age of seventy, all the way to the age of ninety......

In 2001, White donated the last sum of money. At the age of nearly 90, he can no longer pedal a tricycle or run his volunteer teaching company. Just at the station, I showed people the train, put one or two cents of change in a lunch box, and saved five hundred yuan.

Then he handed the money to the Yew Wah Center and said frankly: "I can't do it anymore, I may not be able to donate it again in the future, this is my last money." ”

Almost all the teachers and students in the school wept.

Seven years after the old man died of illness in 2005, CCTV's "Moving China" belatedly presented him with the honor of "moving Chinese characters". The spirit of the old man Bai Fangli is widely known to the people of the whole country.

Zhou Shuo didn't want to consume the deceased, but hoped that if there was really a crossing. Then saving the life of such an old man may be a more important thing than revitalizing the national industry.

Although there were many young men in their twenties and thirties present, they couldn't help shaking their heads in their hearts when they asked themselves if they could do it to such an extent. Comparing hearts to hearts, I feel more and more that the old man Bai Fangli is worthy of respect. Only then did I feel that the leaders of the Xiucheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government came to greet him in person, which was really deserved. That's why I feel that the Fanhan Scholarship Fund really wants to make some contributions to ordinary children.

"Great, my second uncle and three boys' families have been laid off, and they are still worried about the tuition fees of the girls at home. I see, it's right to look for this white square gift! ”

"Yes, the old man looks kind, and he will definitely be able to understand our difficulties!"

"If you want me to say, there has to be a Fanhan Group, otherwise there will be no chaos in this market."

"Yes, I heard that this Fanhan Group is very rich before, but I didn't expect it to be so rich! took out 100 million to run a student fund, without blinking an eyelid. ”

"No matter how rich you are, it's a billion! What is a billion? I am afraid that none of these factories in Xiucheng are worth this price. ”

"Yes, to be able to come up with so much money to help students, I think this Panhan Group is really good."

"I've heard that it's not just about helping students, but also helping laid-off workers start their own businesses. I heard that it's that, oh yes, it's the ...... of Panhan Investment" (to be continued......
