Chapter 561 Worship
"The most important thing is to ensure that students eat hygienic and healthy food, which is easier for the school cafeteria to control, so I think the school cafeteria should be responsible for it directly, with a standard of five yuan per portion."

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said.

Although a company in Yulin City has launched a safe breakfast that looks good and tastes good, it is difficult to say whether it is healthy or hygienic. Once the catering industry is linked to capital, it will most likely change.

"By the way, what are the prices in the school cafeteria now?"

Zhou Jing added.

"Then let's do as Xiao Zhou said. After the school subsidy, the price of breakfast in the school student cafeteria is 70 cents for a steamed bun, 1 yuan for a portion of porridge, 60 cents for a boiled egg, and 1 yuan for a vegetable sandwich. If the standard is 5 yuan, let the senior three cafeteria provide it according to the standard for teachers' breakfast, and then add fresh milk to the breakfast menu."

Upon hearing that Zhou Jing had set such a high standard for breakfast for the senior students of Experimental Middle School, the principal could not hide his excitement.

The prices in Yulin are not low, but five yuan is more than enough to have breakfast on the street.

"This senior year class is lucky to have made it just in time."

"Yes, a five-yuan breakfast is enough to fill you up and make you eat well. Two eggs, a meat bun this big, and a half-pound cup of milk are enough to fill a grown man up, let alone a girl."

Other school leaders said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it. The school will supervise the purchase of ingredients."

Zhou Jing nodded and said.

"Thank you so much, Xiao Zhou. We will do our job well and ensure that it is implemented so that every senior high school student can have a full and good breakfast."

The specific matters were discussed in just a few words, and the principal shook hands with Zhou Jing again.

Originally, the principal was worried that Zhou Jing would allow off-campus restaurants to enter the campus in the name of subsidizing students' breakfasts, and run commercial operations under the guise of charity, or promote commercial catering, such as purchasing safe breakfasts. When he heard Zhou Jing's proposal that the school cafeteria should be responsible for school supervision, the principal appreciated Zhou Jing, the young alumnus, even more.

"Principal Liu is so polite. I will continue to work hard to ensure that freshmen and sophomores can also enjoy free breakfast in the future."

Zhou Jing said while holding the principal's hand.

“We work together.”

The principal was grinning from ear to ear, with such benefits, how could Yushi Middle School and No. 1 Middle School compete with Experimental Middle School in next year's high school entrance examination? It would be just a matter of time before Experimental Middle School becomes the best high school in Yushi. When that day comes, it will be a great achievement for the leaders of Experimental Middle School.

Zhou Jing has deposited a total of 12 million yuan, including one million yuan in scholarships for the 13- academic year and two million yuan in breakfast funding for senior high school students, into the account jointly supervised by Ideal Technology Company and Experimental Middle School.

The account background is in the Finance Department of Experimental Middle School. The school needs to send the list of grants and scholarships and student contact information to Ideal Technology Finance each time. The company cannot guarantee that all students who receive grants are poor students, but this method can at least ensure that the money funded by the company is actually given to the students.

To supervise the free breakfast, Zhou Jing proposed that the school set up a supervision office, which would be staffed by relevant school management personnel and student representatives. The student representatives would have the right to inspect the canteen's purchase of food.

The principal naturally has no objection. As long as the sponsor is sincere in sponsoring students, the principal will supervise the students in whatever way the sponsor says. If the sponsor is not given this little power, how can the principal expect the sponsor to donate money with confidence?

September 1st and 2nd are the reporting dates for freshmen in the first year of high school. Originally, the reporting location was on the playground, but to make room for the mobilization meeting for senior three students, the reporting location for freshmen was moved to the front of the teaching building today.

"It's almost ten o'clock, let's go to the playground, Xiao Zhou please."

After drinking a cup of tea, the principal looked at the time and said.

"Everyone please."

Zhou Jing has always been humble and respectful in front of the teachers and leaders of his alma mater, both when he was a student and now.

Before ten o'clock, twenty classes of senior high school gathered in advance on the playground. More than 1,100 senior high school students, all wearing blue and white school uniforms, sat neatly in the playground, looking like blue sky and white clouds under the clear autumn sunshine.

Above the podium in the playground, a banner reading "Win the senior year of high school, win the future" fluttered in the wind. The eight characters gave people a sonorous and powerful feeling. Zhou Jing guessed that they were the bold words of the Dean of Academic Affairs Gao Huaidong.

In the middle of the rostrum, there was a row of tables covered with red cloth, and on each seat there was a name card and a bottle of water.

"Why is the senior mobilization meeting so early this year and so formal?"

"That's right. It coincides with the registration of freshmen in high school."

"After taking make-up classes and finally taking two days off, we had a mobilization meeting early in the morning."

The freshmen of high school reported in the past two days. The seniors finished their make-up classes the day before yesterday and were supposed to have holidays on the 1st and 2nd, but they were notified to hold a mobilization meeting. Many students complained.

"Is there something important? Does Teacher Wang know?"

"We have invited an alumnus, which seems to be a great benefit for you. Please applaud him later."

"I see."

"There's a car worth over three million yuan parked in the parking lot behind. It should belong to that alumnus."

"What car?"

"Maybach."

"Our school still has such great alumni."

"You underestimate Experimental Middle School. You know Ideal Cellphone, right? It's the company Zhou Jing has been sponsoring us for the past two years. Ideal recently launched a smartphone. I went to the store to try it out yesterday. It's pretty cool. There's also a smart speaker. I wanted to buy one, but unfortunately I can't afford it."

"real or fake?"

"Really? The Ideal smartphone was released last month and it was broadcast live on Tangdu TV."

"The Ideal smartphone is really powerful. Teacher Zhang, are you not going to collect the phone today?"

The senior high school students on the playground were discussing one another, and one student took out the Ideal 1.
"Wow, so beautiful."

"Let me see, how much is it?"

"This one is priced at 2599, and the other one is priced at 1199. Ideal has launched a smart speaker that is really awesome. You don't need to press any buttons to listen to songs. You can control it by voice when connected to Bluetooth. You can just choose any song you want to listen to by voice."

"This is too sci-fi. Has technology developed to this point?"

"This senior Zhou is so amazing."

The top students usually only focus on studying. Many of them have never even seen a smart phone. It is hard to imagine that mobile phones have developed to this point. Therefore, it is not advisable for some top students to just bury their heads in study. In addition to studying, they need to pay attention to social development, which will help them choose their career direction.

"Wow, the handsome senior is here."

"No wonder we have a mobilization meeting today."

"Zhang Jiayang will soon receive a scholarship of 1,000 yuan from Senior Zhou. Are you looking forward to it?"

"Of course I am looking forward to it."

The petite girl named Zhang Jiayang comes from a poor family. Her mother is disabled and her father has a bad stomach and needs to take medicine every day. One thousand yuan can relieve a lot of pressure on the family. With the one thousand yuan, she does not have to ask her family for living expenses for more than two months. She ranked second in the class in the midterm exam last semester and received a scholarship of 500 yuan. She also received a poverty subsidy of 1,000 yuan from the Zhou Xuechang Foundation, which made the family's New Year's Eve dinner a little more sumptuous.

"Principal Liu, please sit here."

Zhou Jing's seat was in the middle of the podium. Zhou Jing swapped his name tag with the principal's.

"Xiao Zhou deserves to sit in this position."

"That's not what the principal said."

Zhou Jing insisted on not sitting in the C seat, so the principal sat in the middle.

After everyone was seated, the Dean of Academic Affairs took the microphone and knocked on it to preside over the meeting.

"Everyone, please be quiet. After ten consecutive days of classes, you must be unhappy about holding a senior mobilization meeting during the holiday today. But don't complain. So many teachers are here to accompany you. And today we are very honored to invite alumnus Zhou Jing who has made great contributions to the school aid cause of Experimental Middle School. From 10 to the first half of this year, your senior Zhou Jing has donated a total of million to Experimental Middle School, and sponsored more than students."

"Zhou Jing continued to increase funding for the Experimental Middle School when the fall semester started. In addition to the quota provided by the Yu City Education Foundation, he also provided an additional 3 million yuan in funding for the Experimental Middle School."

"Wow, that's a lot of money."

"One million of it will be used for scholarships and grants for the first, second and third grades this semester and next semester, and two million will be used to subsidize breakfast for all third-year students. Starting tomorrow, the third-year cafeteria will provide free breakfast to all third-year students every day."

The Dean of Academic Affairs Gao Huaidong first introduced Zhou Jing and at the same time eliminated the students' negative emotions.

“Is it free for the whole year?”

“Are day students also free?”

"Be quiet. Isn't it made very clear to all senior high school students?"

"This is great! Senior Zhou is so awesome." "Hey, you guys are so lucky this year! Even the teachers don't treat you so well."

"."

Upon hearing the news about free breakfast, all the senior high school students were excited. They instantly lost their dissatisfaction with holding a mobilization meeting during the holiday. Such a good thing could actually happen to them.

"Breakfast is provided to you according to the standards of the teachers' cafeteria. The seniors' goal is to ensure that everyone is well fed and that everyone does not go to class hungry. We will resolutely put an end to waste. If anyone is found wasting, their free meal qualification will be revoked."

Gao Huaidong continued.

"It's a shame to waste."

“That’s right, never waste anything.”

"Our class is so lucky. Senior Zhou, I love you."

"."

The students were extremely excited, especially those who usually didn't want to spend extra money to fill their stomachs. Zhou Jing could be said to be their second parent.

"Everyone welcomed Senior Zhou with warm applause."

After the opening remarks, Gao Huaidong led the applause to arouse the students' enthusiasm.

Bang bang bang bang
Thunderous applause broke out in the playground, and the applause of more than 1,100 students seemed to overturn the playground.

"Now, please let Senior Zhou speak a few words to everyone."

Gao Huaidong moved the microphone to Zhou Jing's desk.

Bang bang bang bang
The applause that had not yet died down became louder again, echoing throughout the entire campus.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm." Zhou Jing started to speak, and the applause stopped. Zhou Jing continued, "I am honored and happy to be able to attend the senior high school mobilization meeting of my alma mater. Seeing you all so high-spirited is like seeing my own past."

"Ambition begins with the first step. I wish you all success in the exam next year."

After speaking briefly, Zhou Jing handed the microphone to the Dean of Academic Affairs Gao Huaidong, and thunderous applause broke out from the audience again.

"Ambition begins with the steps. Mr. Zhou is very talented."

"I heard that Senior Zhou worked as a math teacher at Experimental Middle School for a year after graduating from university."

"The top scorer in math in the liberal arts and science section of Experimental High School in this year's college entrance examination was in your senior's class in his freshman year. The math scores of the ordinary class he taught were better than those of the experimental class."

"How embarrassing for the experimental class."

"."

The boys and girls in the audience were full of admiration for Zhou Jing.

"If you want to join Senior Zhou's company in the future, you have to work harder. Senior Zhou's company is now a well-known technology company in the country. Ideal mobile phones are sold all over the world, and the company recruits people with the lowest academic qualifications from 211 universities."

Gao Huaidong turned on the microphone and promoted the Ideal mobile phone.

"Only 211 universities have such opportunities, and the requirements are so high."

"Technology companies need talent, and good technology companies don't recruit from ordinary universities at all."

"."

"Do you have the confidence to join Senior Zhou's company in the future?"

"Have."

There was a deafening sound in the playground. If they had the chance, how could they not want to join Zhou Jing's company.

Being young means being passionate, Zhou Jing said to himself.

Next, the mobilization meeting for the senior year officially began. Gao Huaidong reported the college entrance examination results of the Experimental Middle School this year. After that, the principal and the grade director spoke in turn. Student science and liberal arts representatives took the stage to give speeches. All the teachers and students of the senior year took the oath, etc., and finally there was the signing session.

The staff spread the banner on the table on the rostrum, and the people on the stage signed first. Zhou Jing, as a VIP, signed first. Zhou Jing exchanged some pleasantries with the principal and then took the white pen to sign.

Having not practiced artistic signatures before, Zhou Jing used a cursive script signature and handed the pen to the principal after signing.

"Xiao Zhou's handwriting reflects his personality."

The principal took it and signed it just below Zhou Jing's name.

"Principal Liu, thank you for your praise."

After the people on the stage signed, the staff switched the banners left and right, and then all the teachers in the third grade signed. Having taught in Experimental Middle School for a year, Zhou Jing knew almost all the teachers.

After the teacher signs, the student representatives will sign. The student representatives are the top three students in each class in the final exam of the previous semester.

"Hello, senior."

There were sixty student representatives from twenty classes of arts and science. The top three in each class would receive scholarships sponsored by Zhou Jing. They were all excited about the opportunity to be close to Zhou Jing, and they greeted him one after another as they passed by him.

The boys have short but unkempt hair, and the girls have longer hair so it's inevitably messy as they don't have time to dress it up. But at eighteen or nineteen years old, they don't look sloppy at all. Instead, they look youthful, clean and neat. This is the real youth.

"Senior Zhou, what major would be best for me to study in your company after graduating from college?"

A boy who seemed to be smart walked around to Zhou Jing, bent down and signed on the banner.

"Zhang Peng asked a good question. Senior Zhou must be very clear about the employment environment. You can all listen to it."

Gao Huaidong patted Zhang Peng on the shoulder and said.

The other students signed and stopped to wait.

"Computer science, information, software, electronic science, and communications are all majors that can be given priority. The country will vigorously develop the science and technology industry in the future, and our company recruits the most people in these majors."

Zhou Jing gave them some guidance and advice.

"Thank you, senior."

The students nodded one after another.

"Remember the computers, information, and software. Senior Zhou's advice is definitely more useful than that of a professional consulting agency."

Dean of Academic Affairs Gao Huaidong repeated it to the students.

After the student representatives signed, the senior high school mobilization meeting came to an end. The principal wanted to invite Zhou Jing to lunch, but Zhou Jing declined. Zhou Jing didn't have time and didn't want to attend the dinner, so he said goodbye on the grounds that he still had work to do.

The principal and other school leaders had no choice but to give up and send Zhou Jing to the car together.

Zhou Jing had just left school when he received a call from his high school biology teacher Kong Fangfang. Previously, Zhou Jing had arranged for Kong Fangfang's cousin to work at Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd. Kong Fangfang's cousin had graduated from a first-class university with a degree in electrical engineering and was already a technical backbone at the headquarters of Bowen Network Technology Co., Ltd., with a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand, which was very good in Tangdu.

Kong Fangfang learned that Zhou Jing had returned to Experimental Middle School. She called simply to express to him in person that she had to see him in person at school and that he had already left the school and would not be returning, so a few words on the phone would be enough.

Yang Wenwen went to the second primary school to register her child in the morning, and cooked at home at noon. When Zhou Jing returned, the meal was ready.

"Dad is back."

Hearing the door open, the little girl rushed out and threw herself on Zhou Jing.

"Did you meet any familiar teachers?"

Yang Wenwen came out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

"No, I left after the mobilization meeting."

Apart from Yang Wenwen, Gu Jia, Zhao Xin and Kong Fangfang, the teachers Zhou Jing was relatively familiar with at Experimental Middle School were Yang Wenwen and Gu Jia. Yang Wenwen and Gu Jia had both resigned, Zhao Xin was not back to work as the teacher of the first grade this year, and Kong Fangfang called Zhou Jing but he did not see her.

"CC, wash your hands and have dinner." After dinner was ready, Yang Wenwen called to her daughter who was playing with the cat, and brought half a bowl of porridge to Zhou Jingxian and said, "What time can you come back this afternoon?"

"Four or five."

Zhou Jing is going to visit the municipal party committee in the afternoon. There are two projects in the city that need some investment.
