Chapter 307: The Library
Ann was shocked, and when she had said casually that she had not expected Penn to be of any use to her, she hastened to agree
“Yes, I’ll arrange the time. The president of Arcadia
University is an old classmate of mine. You met him when you were a child.”
“HMM.”
Ann is still calm on the surface, but her heart is already boiling. As a mother, she has never made a contribution to her son’s study and career, and she can’t make it with force. Her son is too strong and doesn’t need her at all. This was the first time her son had asked her for help, and she would do everything she could.
After secretary Peck left, Ann went to her study and began to make the schedule for tomorrow. Since her son Penn spoke, she must hand in an answer with full marks. Not only did he call the president of Arcadia University to make an appointment for the next day, but he also called several other friends and colleagues at the university to give him the green light if Penn wanted to expand their business.
Ann has never asked others to do anything before she retired. In the past, there were relatives‘ children who wanted to enter a good high school, or relatives who taught in colleges and universities who wanted to have an
advantage in the evaluation of professional titles. When
0.00%
asked to come to her, she refused unseldomly and ruthlessly.“Let your child take part in the high school entrance exam and enter Arcadia University High School by his own ability, otherwise he will not be qualified to enter, and the child will be under great pressure.“Said that her relatives on the spot want to break off relations with her, do not ask you to do it, more is other relations into.
College evaluation of professional titles is not to mention
“I gave you a professor on the relationship, there are only a few places, you are on, what about those teachers who have more scientific research results than you?” It is better to teach and do scientific research well, and sooner or later we will be judged.”
I’ve offended every kinswoman in my family. At work, she really doesn’t like people who spend all their time thinking about side ways.
In this way, she now calls her old classmates and colleagues one by one, and scares the other party repeatedly asking what happened to the Future Better Technology Company?
Ann had to say
“No.Penn’s company has plans to expand the college business, and I want to help him a little bit.”
The other party laughed loudly
“Candy, you are overworried. We universities are eager to cooperate with the Future Better Technology Company.”
This is also true, in addition to the school’s smart devices.
17.37%
are using Future Better Technology Company’s products, more importantly, they want to cooperate with Future Better Technology Company. And a research grant from the Future Better Technology Company.
However, in these aspects, the screening conditions are harsh, and not all colleges and universities can pass the audit.
Ann hung up the phone for a moment a little melancholy, their hard to save most of the contacts, his son can not use one.No, it means that the connections she’s built up over most of her life mean nothing to her son.
A little blow, a lifetime of work, the maintenance of family image, these values, it seems to have been denied.
The next morning, I got up and dressed up, choosing a set of clothes that would normally only be worn when I
accompanied Benedict Humphery to meetings or foreign visits, grand and elegant. These sets of clothes are purely handmade, stitch and thread are very exquisite, wear on the body, the whole temperament immediately highlighted.
Nanny looked straight praise, kua Candy spirit is good, a good spirit, wear anything good.
The people living near Humphery Familyvilla are all in the same circle, and each family does not see each other. The news that Penn came home yesterday has been known to several official wives, and there are many people who have nothing to do on ordinary days, and they have sent their close nanny out to inquire about the news.
As for these official wives, they are all harmonious on the
surface, but in private, no one can see who is good. In the past, there was no comparison between the status of older Mr. Humphery and the Humphery Family. Now that older Mr. Humphery has passed away, they can also be on ant equal footing with the Humphery Family. With the same status, they naturally dare to compare.
The nannies are done with each other, reporting back
“Candy got in Penn’s car and didn’t know where to go.”
“Are they reconciled?”
“I don’t know. There seems to be no communication.”
Indeed, there is no communication, Ann did not speak after getting on the car, I do not know what medicine his son sold in the gourd, and dare not easily ask, Benedict Humphery can explain last night, what the son said to listen to, don’t always think of retorting, in the verbal upper hand.
The driver drove them all the way to the Arcadia University campus, where the car was parked in a faculty–only parking space outside the president’s office. The principal was already waiting outside. He said hello to Ann and then to Penn.
Ann’s external atmosphere was still strong, like the leader came to inspect the work, the principal took them to the meeting room, after sitting down, the principal assistant poured tea for them, and then withdrew to sit aside, holding a small book to make meeting minutes.
The principal took one look at Penn and sighed
“Candy is blessed.”
Ann didn’t know, so she looked at Penn, then at the principal, and smiled
“You speak your mind.”
The principal laughed too.
“Candy doesn’t know? Mr. Humphery, here at Arcadia
University, has donated in your name to build a fully digital intelligent library, which will be named after you, the Zhimin Library.”
Ann was stunned and her heart beat faster. It was surprising, even incredible, that Penn would do this for her. Not his style at all.
“I wanted to tell you as soon as I heard the news, but Mr. Humphery said it was a gift for you and he wanted to keep it for you as a surprise. He said Candy was not easy, that he had dedicated his life to education, and that when this library was completed, he would be a witness to your life’s work.”
The president said, of course, in fact, this paragraph, not Penn himself said, his secretary on behalf of the message.
Ann, used to being tough, suddenly burst into tears when she heard such words.She’s worked hard all her life, all her time in education, all her time in the Humphery
Family.However, the Humphery Family, especially Benedict Humphery, never recognized her work, but felt that all of her work was riding on the Humphery Family’s east wind, even the government wives around her felt so, and over time, she
73 63
also felt that she could achieve this position.It’s all the Humphery Family.
This is the first time that someone is so sure of her life’s work, and still with her son who has an enemy, how can not be excited, at this moment, I would like to hug my son Penn tightly, but see that he is still alienated temperament sitting there, she had to stop.
“Candy, don’t get too excited, you deserve this, you can raise such a good child, it proves your ability.“There’s a lot of work ahead that needs your guidance. The library plans came out. There are three versions, and Mr. Humphery said you could choose.As well as the later construction, you can not help but guide.”
