On the morning of August 30th.

Zhang Da and Cheng Mingming arrived at the airport in Phantom.

Chen Yuanbo and others were already waiting for them in the dedicated terminal for business jets.

In addition to the staff of the charity association, there are also several volunteers who are going to Guizhou with Zhang Da this time.

The total number of people reached 37.

Therefore, Zhang Da had to give up the Bombardier 7500, which could only carry 19 people, and switch to Boeing BBJ2 to travel.

Two hours later, the plane landed in Zhucheng, the provincial capital of Guizhou.

Chen Yuanbo made arrangements in advance. As soon as Zhang Da and others left the airport, a bus took everyone to Bijie.

On the way, Chen Yuanbo sat in the last row of the bus and reported to Zhang Dahui:

"Mr. Zhang, we have rented an office in Zhucheng and Bijie. The office in Zhucheng is used to coordinate charity work across the province, while the office in Bijie is focused on charity going to the countryside, as well as the management and coordination of volunteers."

"Well, this is good. I will also go to the Bijie office to have a look." Zhang Da said softly, "The employees and volunteers who stay on the front line are working very hard."

"It is indeed hard work, but being able to help others gives everyone a sense of accomplishment." Chen Yuanbo said, "Mr. Zhang, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The accommodation conditions there may be relatively average."

"No problem." Zhang Da shook his head and looked at his bare arms and said, "We didn't come out to play in the first place. We are all mentally prepared."

Cheng Mingming, who was sitting next to him, also nodded seriously.

"That's good, that's good!" Chen Yuanbo said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, Principal Zhong of Hope Primary School hopes that you can give an opening speech at the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow."

"I'll forget it. It's better to leave the mobilization work to Principal Zhong!" Zhang Da thought for a while and refused, "You know, I don't understand education."

"I only hope that the children in the school can change the fate of their families through learning. In this way, our work will be meaningful."

"I understand, Mr. Zhang!" Chen Yuanbo bowed and said, "I will convey your exact words to Principal Zhong."

"No, I'll tell him personally when I visit the school tomorrow." Zhang Da asked, "I heard that Principal Zhong is not in good health, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, Principal Zhong has hypoglycemia and chronic gastritis. In addition, he also has pharyngitis and cervical spondylosis, which are occupational diseases among teachers."

Chen Yuanbo said, "Mr. Zhang, you know that before Principal Zhong's primary school received our donation, it was just an ordinary rural primary school. Not only was it short of money, it was also short of people."

"Principal Zhong used to hold many positions such as school principal, Chinese teacher, plumber and electrician. He worked day and night, which laid the root of many diseases. In fact, not only Principal Zhong, but also several original teachers of this rural primary school were in poor health.

Very good.”

"In this way... you can go back and contact the top tertiary hospital in Shanghai. When the time comes, you will register a specialist and give Principal Zhong and the school's previous faculty and staff a comprehensive physical examination. The cost will be borne by us."

Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "While the school now has teachers and volunteers helping, let them take good care of themselves."

Chen Yuanbo wondered: "Mr. Zhang, actually I tried to persuade them, but Principal Zhong and the others didn't agree, saying they were worried about what happened in the school."

Zhang Da said: "I will talk to Principal Zhong and the others in person tomorrow! Also, don't tell Principal Zhong that I will go there tomorrow, so as not to cause them to come to pick us up again and cause trouble in vain."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang!"

...

Early the next morning, Zhang Da, led by Chen Yuanbo, came to the first Hope Primary School built with Mingda's charitable donations.

"Mr. Zhang, the school's teaching buildings and hardware equipment are all built to the standards of Jinling City's primary schools."

Chen Yuanbo’s deputy, Zhu Wenjun, who is responsible for the project construction work of the foundation, said,

"In addition, we have also built new school buildings for faculty and staff."

"Well, you did a good job." After walking around in a circle, Zhang Da praised Zhu Wenjun, and then said to Chen Yuanbo, "Let's go to the principal's office."

Chen Yuanbo nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang, go this way."

Zhu Wenjun bowed slightly and said: "Mr. Zhang, I'm leaving first. I'm going to visit the construction site of another Hope Primary School."

Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, slow down on the road."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern."

Two minutes later, Zhang Da and the others arrived in front of the office door.

Chen Yuanbo took a step forward and gently knocked on the door.

In the office, a vicissitudes of life but a kind voice suddenly came out: "Please come in!"

Chen Yuanbo gently opened the door and turned sideways to let Zhang Da enter the room first.

Zhang Da nodded towards Chen Yuanbo and walked into the office.

An old man with gray hair and a thin face was standing in front of his desk.

On the desk, there is a Chinese language book and a notebook full of notes.

It seems that Principal Zhong is preparing lessons.

Zhang Da took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Principal Zhong!"

Cheng Mingming and Chen Yuanbo, who were following him, both said, "Hello, Principal Zhong!"

"Hello!"

Principal Zhong showed a smile, and then cast a questioning look at Chen Yuanbo.

"Principal Zhong, this is President Zhang Da of our foundation." Chen Yuanbo said, "The girl next to me is President Zhang's secretary, Miss Cheng Mingming."

"Oh, are you Mr. Zhang Da?" Principal Zhong's eyes showed gratitude, and he was about to bow and said: "Thank you!"

"Principal Zhong, I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" Zhang Da quickly supported the other party, "I can't afford the word 'sir' in front of you. Just call me by my name, or Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Da respects the old principal from the bottom of his heart.

This school is located in a mountainous area, and it takes a lot of effort to walk to the school.

I heard from Chen Yuanbo that before the foundation sponsored the school and provided cars to the teachers, Principal Zhong had to go back and forth on this mountain road two or three times a day.

In addition to teaching in schools, he also visits the homes of some children with difficult family conditions.

He would encourage the parents of their children to find ways for their children to continue studying, and even use his own salary to subsidize their children's family income.

"Then let me call you President Zhang." Principal Zhong extended his hand, "On behalf of the entire school staff, I would like to thank you again for your help to the school."

"I'm just doing what I can. You are the one who has given everything to this school." Zhang Da shook hands with him and said, "Principal Zhong, thank you!"

"I'm just doing what I can." Principal Zhong said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk. I'll ask all the school's faculty and staff to come over."

"Same goes for you, Vice President Chen. President Zhang came without telling us. At least let us welcome President Zhang and express our gratitude."

"Principal Zhong, I asked Vice President Chen not to tell you, just because I was afraid of troublesome you."
