It was still the quiet corridor, or the quaint door... The difference was that last time it was someone who tried his best to tempt me to enroll, but this time it was me who wanted to try to get others to give me a passing score. The giant of the stellar was so embarrassed by a small exam. I don’t know if it was because the exam was too powerful or my luck was too memorable. And I was also ready to be a good thing for the old fox principal Adam. It was obviously unrealistic to want to retreat in front of that old fox. No one who had much to do with him had gained any benefits from him, let alone what I asked for today?
I pushed open the door of the principal's office and walked in with a decision that never returned. The old fox Adam sat leisurely at the principal's desk, drinking coffee.
I looked up and glanced at me, an uninvited guest who broke in without knocking on the door. Facing my sudden visit, the old fox did not show much surprise on his face.
"You are here" the old fox's words and his calm face made me unable to understand whether this was a positive or a question. But judging from Principal Adam's calmness, he had already expected that I would come to him. Since this was the case, he probably had already figured out how to minimize me without making me feel disgusted.
Since I came here, I will be content with it. As a businessman, I know that I have to pay a certain price for everything I do, and the difference is just the size of the price. I also know very well that Adam, the old fox, is also very concerned about my identity, and this is my biggest bargaining chip today.
"Do you want a cup of coffee?" Principal Adam's voice broke the tranquility of the principal's room. "What wind blows our classmate Chris today. You are such a rare guest!"
While talking, Principal Adam poured me a cup of coffee and brought it to me.
I nodded and expressed my gratitude to the old fox. I picked up the slightly hot coffee and sipped it. Then I frowned. The coffee the fox poured me was so fucking bad! Even that batch of instant ones was better than this. I really don’t know how he made such a hard thing, it was really hard for him.
Seeing me frowning, a smile appeared on Principal Adam's face, but it was just a flash and was not discovered by me. "How is this coffee smelling?" The old fox asked knowingly, but before I could answer, he said to himself, "The school is short of funds. As the principal, I should set an example and promote the spirit of saving. This coffee... Chris should not mind."
Damn, this old fox thinks I am an idiot. This GAO is a member of the American "Evergreen Teng" alliance. The education subsidy received from the government every year is enough to support the daily expenses here.
Moreover, the average annual tuition fee for each student at Los Angeles is about 30,000 US dollars. Although the scholarship at Los Angeles is also very generous, only a few students can get it, and most of them can only pay the full tuition honestly.
The above two types of income are actually not the largest source of income for the increase in Los Angeles. The largest source of income comes from donations from celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles and elites from various industries who have graduated here. If sometimes the US government has any scientific research projects assigned, then the project subsidy is a considerable number.
And the principal of a school who is so rich that he is almost overwhelmed, actually cried in front of me, making me both angry and ridiculous.
But when people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads. Who made me ask for him? However, it is not easy to get money from me.
"This coffee is really not very good, and drinking more coffee will make people's reaction nerves slow, so I decided to donate high-quality tea from China to the school in my personal name to show my feelings for this school. I wonder what you think, Principal Adam? This Chinese tea has a wonderful effect, and it is a rare good drink to clear heat and cool down."
Principal Adam, who originally wanted to get a sponsorship fee from me, found that the only thing he could get was the tea that was not worth much, which made the old fox feel extremely unhappy: I have seen stingy rich people, but I have never seen such stingy and rich people.
However, with the principle of not letting go of mistakes, the old fox Adam still accepted the promised several kilograms of tea without hesitation. After that, Principal Adam began to talk to me about the campus style, and he was just talking nonsense about the grades. He was not in a hurry, but I was in a hurry. If the grades were officially implemented, it would be too late to change them by then. What was waiting for me was to rebuild this road.
This old man is not serious about his work, so I can only speak, but in this way, the initiative is definitely in his hands. "Principal Adam, I came here to ask you to help me a little bit. You also know that the final exam of our art department is divided into written tests and creations, and I made it difficult for me to speak in front of others. But when I came here, I didn't care about this. I made up my mind and continued, "I failed the exam because of an absolute accident. This time I came here to make you turn this failure into a passing."
I didn't have to answer the old fox at once. Principal Adam just looked at me with deep thoughts and smiled from time to time. I felt uncomfortable. If I hadn't known that Principal Adam was already a wife, I would have thought he was an old glass.
"Mr. Chris of the Star Club has spoken, and this matter is for me." Just as he saw me as if I was about to go wild, the old fox finally spoke, "But..."
The fox's tail was finally revealed.
I did not interrupt Principal Adam, but nodded to him to continue saying, "But does Mr. Chris think the facilities in our school are a little worse? Are these teaching buildings a little older? Are there less green belts in the academy? Are there less books in the library? Are there less funds for the activities of the student union? Are there less scholarships than those of Harvard and Yale? Are the salaries and benefits of faculty and staff a little less? Are the project funds a little lower?…………………”
I resisted the urge to strangle the old fox Principal Adam to kill him and listened to all his words. Although I was ready to bleed, no one could stand it when facing such a thing.
"Then, you want, more or less?" I said word by word. If the eyes could kill people, the old fox in front of me would have already become a pile of minced meat. But without using spiritual power, my eyes would only make him feel very successful.
"If Mr. Chris can invest 10 or 20 million..." Principal Adam's words clearly showed a sense of pride. Of course, the meat sent to his mouth would have to be bitten hard. "For a super rich man like Mr. Chris, this 20 million is not like a dollar or two."
Only a person as thick-skinned as Principal Adam can say so righteously that he can use 10 or 20 million to pass the exam. But he was right. This is really not much different from one or two dollars for me. It’s just that he was cheated by him for vain. I feel unwilling to accept it.
Principal Adam was not in a hurry to know my answer. He thought in his heart that it would be impossible for me to spend so much money to pass the exam. He said the number of 10 or 20 million at once, leaving only a room for bargaining for himself. In fact, he was very satisfied with the fact that he could get sponsorship of 5 million.
But what I said scared him: "I can give you 100 million."
The old fox didn't answer. He was almost a spirit, of course he knew that I had the following: "But I want to become a school director!" My tone was affirmative, leaving no room for maneuver. I knew that Principal Adam just wanted to get some investment from me, so he could not risk offending me to reject this reasonable request. After all, using 100 million to exchange for the identity of a school director is a transaction that only makes money but not loses for any school. The savvy Principal Adam naturally agreed.
Of course, I wouldn't be so idiotic that I really spent 100 million yuan to exchange for a school manager. Spending this money is just to lay a solid foundation for the future.
The conversation with Principal Adam quickly ended under the 100 million dollar offensive, and the minor issue of changing grades was naturally no problem. When everything was agreed, Principal Adam, the old fox, took out an exquisite bottle from his desk drawer, which showed great coffee beans at a glance.
After carefully grinding it into powder, Principal Adam made me a cup of coffee again. This time, just smelling the fragrance, you will know that it is definitely a top-notch product, and it is simply apart from the cup that can barely be called coffee just now.
In this world, it’s really good to have money.
