Chapter 121: Renovating Sunshine Elementary School
The students introduced themselves in turn, and when each student introduced themselves, Shen Mengfei would make a record in the notebook, and in this way, Shen Mengfei had a preliminary understanding of each student.
The two classes passed quietly, and after applauding the last student to introduce himself, Shen Mengfei announced a break between classes.
There is a lack of teacher resources, and the same teacher teaches in the morning in a class, and one teacher teaches three or four subjects.
Shen Mengfei teaches Chinese, mathematics and natural sciences.
The school has no playground, no basketball court, not even a ping-pong table.
Shen Mengfei decided to rebuild the school's teaching building at his own expense, help the children build a basketball court, buy new books, etc., and he was determined to renovate the school's educational environment.
After recess, students returned to their classrooms.
"Students, after listening to your dreams just now, I think everyone's dreams are great, and what the teacher wants to tell you now is the meaning of dreams."
"What's the point of dreams? Does anyone know the answer to this question?" Shen Mengfei asked.
"Teacher Shen, I know." Zhu Yanzhen raised his hand and said.
"Okay, Yan Zhen, stand up and say something." Shen Mengfei said.
"My grandfather told me that dreams are to tell us the right direction." Zhu Yanzhen stood up and said.
"Okay, that's a great answer, please sit down."
"Does anyone have a different answer?" Shen Mengfei asked.
The students shook their heads.
"Students, Yan Zhen's answer just now is basically correct, but not completely, now the teacher will add it."
"The dream is one of our long-term goals, and it is very difficult to achieve this long-term goal, so we need to continue to study hard, and we must have the faith to keep working hard for this goal."
"Dreams are a vague direction, and they don't tell us how to go next, so what do we do? We have to learn, and only by learning can we know how to go to our dreams."
"So in order to realize our dreams, do we have to study hard?" Shen Mengfei asked.
"Yes." The students replied in unison.
"The students are all very good, and now everyone is applauding themselves and praising themselves for being so great."
Under the leadership of Shen Mengfei, the students in the Primary 1 class applauded themselves one after another.
"Okay, then let's learn the knowledge in the books, please turn to page 5 of the Chinese textbook, let's learn Chinese characters."
...
The morning was fleeting, and after the students came home from class, Shen Mengfei found the principal.
"Is there anything Mr. Shen is looking for me?" Seeing Shen Mengfei coming to find him, Principal Hu Yue asked.
Hu Yue is a high-achieving student who graduated from Imperial Capital University with a master's degree, and in 28 years this year, she should have been able to do some easy white-collar jobs in a big city, but she chose to come to this poor mountain city to be the principal.
Shen Mengfei admired Hu Yue's behavior very much.
"Principal, I plan to donate money to build a new school building, build a basketball court and playground, and buy new books, desks and chairs." Shen Mengfei said.
"That's going to cost a lot of money. Haven't you already donated a lot of money? Do you still have that much money?" Hu Yue asked.
Hu Yue has paid attention to Shen Mengfei since his debut, and Hu Yue is clear about Shen Mengfei's deeds.
Shen Mengfei has a nickname called: The Dream of Thousands of Girls, among these thousands of girls, Hu Yue is also included, but after watching the first love to dusk, Hu Yue is completely dead.
The movie uses its real name from first love to dusk, and what meaning it represents is already self-evident, not only Hu Yue is dead, but the thousands of girls are basically heartbroken.
"What I donate is just the money from Mengwan Entertainment, and the salary and dividends from my movies are still in my hands. I estimated that 100 million yuan should be about the same for the renovation of the school, if it is not enough, later
I'll make up for the difference." Shen Mengfei said.
This primary school has a total of four classes and 317 students. The scale is very small, so according to what Shen Mengfei said, it won't cost 100 million.
"It shouldn't cost 100 million."
"Teacher Shen, when are we going to find someone to start the work?" Hu Yue asked.
"The sooner the better, in the afternoon, ask the parents of the students who are in the construction industry, this kind of mountain city area is not easy to find work, if you can help these people, it would be great." Shen Mengfei said.
"Hmm."
Hu Yue liked Shen Mengfei at first because Shen Mengfei was talented, but now she found that Shen Mengfei was not only talented, but also had excellent morals.
Eh, it's a pity, why wasn't I the first person to meet Phineas? Hu Yue felt very regretful.
Of course, Shen Mengfei didn't know what Hu Yue was thinking, if he knew, he probably had to deliberately stay away from Hu Yue.
During class in the afternoon, after inquiry, Shen Mengfei learned that Zhu Yanzhen's father was engaged in the construction industry.
After school in the afternoon, Shen Mengfei followed Zhu Yanzhen to the construction site to find Zhu Yanzhen and her father.
Zhu Yanzhen's father is called Zhu Fusheng, and he is a construction contractor.
"Lao Zhu, your daughter is coming to you." A middle-aged man on the construction site saw Zhu Yanzhen and recognized her as Zhu Fusheng's daughter, so he turned his head to Zhu Fusheng next to him and said, and pointed out the direction to Zhu Fusheng.
Zhu Fusheng looked in the direction pointed by the worker, and found that it was indeed his daughter who came to look for him.
Seeing that his daughter didn't come home from school, but came to the construction site with a young man to find him, Zhu Fusheng couldn't help but get nervous.
It can't be that something is going on at home, right?
Zhu Fusheng put down the work in his hand and walked over.
"Dad." Zhu Yanzhen said to Zhu Fusheng obediently.
"Ah Zhen, you don't come home from school, what's the matter with coming to the construction site to find your father?" Zhu Fusheng asked gently.
"Hello Yan Zhen's father, I am the new teacher of Sunshine Primary School, and I am also Yan Zhen's current homeroom teacher, my name is Shen Mengfei. Actually, it's not Yan Zhen who wants to come to you, it's me who asked her to bring me to you." Shen Mengfei said.
"Hello Mr. Shen, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhu Fusheng asked.
"That's right, the teaching building of Sunshine Primary School is too old, the school plans to build a new teaching building, and at the same time, the school will also build a basketball court and a playground, so we need to find someone to build it, and I just know that you are in the construction industry, so I want to find you to be responsible for building the teaching building, basketball court and playground." Shen Mengfei said what he meant.
"No problem, when will the construction start? The construction site we are responsible for now will take more than ten days to be completed, and if the school is not in a hurry, we will start work when it is completed." Zhu Fusheng said.
"You are in the construction industry, and you should have a lot of contact with the person in charge of the materials needed for construction. If it's convenient, I hope you can help you procure the materials. Anyway, if you need anything, you just buy it. After you get it done, you go to school, and we will estimate how much it will cost at that time, and I will transfer it to you when the time comes, and then you can start work directly." Shen Mengfei said.
"Teacher Shen, what you said is all wrapped up in me, and I will do my best to build the school." Zhu Fusheng replied affirmatively.
Living in this mountain, Zhu Fusheng certainly hopes that the teaching environment here can be better, after all, he grew up in this mountain, and his children are also in school here, so he is very happy to be able to do a good job of school resources.
"Well, you can go to the school when you have time, and the principal and I will tell you exactly how to build it." Shen Mengfei said.
"Okay." Zhu Fusheng replied.
"That's okay, it's nothing, I'll send Yan Zhen back, and I won't disturb you to continue working." Shen Mengfei said.
Zhu Fusheng wanted to refuse Shen Mengfei, but after thinking about it, for the safety of his daughter, he could only trouble Shen Mengfei, and when the time came to go to the school to build a teaching building, he would thank him.
"Then thank you, Mr. Shen."
"Ah Zhen, then you tell Shen
How can the teacher go?" Zhu Fusheng said.
"Well, goodbye Dad." After Zhu Yanzhen finished speaking, he made a gesture of goodbye.
......
Thirteen days later, Zhu Fusheng came to school.
Shen Mengfei and Hu Yue told Zhu Fusheng how big the teaching building would be, and then the playground and basketball court were built in that location, which was clearly explained.
According to Shen Mengfei and Hu Yue, Zhu Fusheng roughly estimated the material cost and labor cost, which was about 12 million.
"12 million?" Shen Mengfei asked.
"Yes, 12 million, I calculate it according to the average material cost, and the labor cost is also calculated at the lowest price, if the budget is overrun, the materials of the basketball court and playground can be used with cheap materials, and the labor cost I will discuss with everyone, so I don't need labor costs."
"Our group of people who work on the construction site are all children of this mountain, doing good deeds for their hometown, and they should be willing to do it without money." Zhu Fusheng thought that 12 million was over the budget, so he thought of a way and said.
In Zhu Fusheng's view, the quality of the basketball court and playground almost has little impact, but the teaching building is different. He would rather not be paid himself than make the school building worse.
"Brother Zhu, you misunderstood, I think the budget of 12 million is not too little, our teaching building, basketball court and playground must be built with the best materials, and the labor cost can be calculated according to the labor cost of the big city."
"You budget for the highest amount of money you need." Shen Mengfei said.
"Are they all budgeted to the highest standard? Then I'll do the math again." Zhu Fusheng said.
After recalculating, Zhu Fusheng said: "I calculate the labor cost according to the market price on our side, and then the material cost is calculated according to the highest standard, and the budget is about 15 million."
"15 million, that's okay, I estimate that the desk and stool shouldn't cost much, so let's build a small library." Shen Mengfei said.
"That, Teacher Shen, Principal Hu, I want to know how much money was sent from above, and this time it has basically changed the entire school." Zhu Fusheng asked curiously.
"There is no money from above, and the money is all paid by Mr. Shen himself. Mr. Shen used to be a big star and made a lot of money, but he was framed by others, so he quit the entertainment industry. Now that he is here as a volunteer teacher, he plans to pay to renovate the school environment and build a good learning environment for the children."
"You don't have to worry about money, Teacher Shen can handle it." Hu Yue said.
"Huh? It turned out that it wasn't the top that sent money to the school. Teacher Shen, in this way, we only charge daily food money, and you can help us renovate the school, and our local villagers will not collect wages, so we will be considered to contribute to the school." After Zhu Fusheng heard that the money was paid by Shen Mengfei alone, he decided to just take the daily meal money.
If they weren't too poor, they wouldn't have asked for food.
"Brother Zhu, you said so, then I don't have to say anything, although you build according to the highest standards, don't worry about the money, I'll transfer 16 million to you first, how much is still the difference when the time comes, you tell me again."
"By the way, the school wall is not very strong, we need to rebuild it, and build the wall as well." Shen Mengfei said.
"Okay." Zhu Fusheng replied.
When Shen Mengfei heard Zhu Fusheng say that he would not charge labor fees, he had already thought about it, and when it was time to finish, he would send them the wages of each worker in the form of red envelopes.
