Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Paying a Visit in Person

"Oh, right, right! Mr. Jiang, did you happen to drop this three million in my pocket?"

"What are you all talking about? Mr. Jiang, this is a seventy-year-old Ganoderma I went out of my way to find. I heard the director of your welfare institute isn’t in the best of health, and this is an excellent health supplement."

...

Once someone started, the floodgates opened, and it was impossible to stop.

Everyone there tried to shove the fine things they had brought, or money, into Jiang Fan’s hands.

The sheer spectacle of it all startled Jiang Fan.

He couldn’t help but take a few steps back. "Everyone, please calm down."

"This isn’t my decision. It’s Mr. Li’s."

"The school is indeed no longer enrolling from the public, and Mr. Li is only our honorary principal."

"So, we appreciate the kind sentiment."

"I’m truly sorry."

Jiang Fan’s response was flawless. He didn’t offend anyone, but he still refused them.

He had also used Li Jiaxiang’s name as a shield, bringing him up directly.

Upon hearing Li Jiaxiang’s name, everyone froze. Honorary principal! That was still a principal!

This made them even more convinced that the school was established with official backing from above.

And Jiang Fan was Li Jiaxiang’s representative.

This was precisely why they had come today.

"If there’s nothing else, please leave."

After saying this, Jiang Fan turned and left without a moment’s hesitation.

He didn’t even give the crowd a chance to speak.

Seeing Jiang Fan slip away so quickly, the group was somewhat disappointed.

But they weren’t willing to give up.

After all, if they could establish even the slightest connection with that big shot, the benefits for their future careers would be immeasurable.

One by one, they lingered at the school gate, and their numbers grew.

From an initial seven or eight people, the crowd swelled to twenty or thirty.

Luxury cars were parked in row after row. The spectacle even startled Jun Yue as she arrived.

"Why are you all blocking the school gate?"

After opening the school gate, Jun Yue drove her car in, parked, and walked over to ask.

Seeing this woman, an idea sparked in everyone’s minds.

According to the background information they’d gathered, Jiang Fan was one aspect, but this woman was also one of the school’s founders.

’Could she also have a connection to Li Jiaxiang?’

"Um, miss, your surname is Jun, correct?"

"Then we share the same family name! Look, could you help us ask Secretary Li or Mr. Jiang if they can squeeze in a few more people at the school? A school this big, adding a dozen or so students is no big deal."

"Take this. Consider it your reward."

An old man with a beaming smile stuffed a gift box into Jun Yue’s hands.

"This is for me? Is that what all of you want?"

Jun Yue’s eyes darted around as she feigned curiosity and ignorance.

"Of course, this is definitely for you."

"That’s right, Miss Jun. They’re just some worthless little trinkets. Just take them. Don’t be polite with us."

In the end, Jun Yue was holding more and more things, until she couldn’t carry them all.

"You’re all doing this voluntarily, right? I didn’t force you."

Jun Yue suddenly turned her head to the right. "There are security cameras here, you know. If you’re going to have second thoughts, take your things back now. I’m going inside. I’m not wasting any more time with you."

"It’s voluntary, it’s voluntary! You just need to pass on the message and ask for us."

"Yes, yes!"

The crowd nodded eagerly.

They were terrified that Jun Yue would go back on her word.

"Alright then. Wait here for a bit. I’ll go inside and ask for you now."

Carrying all the gifts, Jun Yue swaggered toward the main academic building.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan was shocked. He rushed over to meet her and took all the things from her hands.

"Are you crazy? You actually took this stuff? Do you have any idea how much trouble this is?"

"I know. They said they gave it to me voluntarily. Besides, there are security cameras recording everything."

"Let me ask you, are you willing to let them in?"

Jun Yue asked casually.

"Of course I’m not! I already refused them earlier."

Jiang Fan replied, slapping his thigh.

"Exactly. You aren’t willing, and neither am I. I’ve already asked, and I’ve accepted the gifts."

"Isn’t this free stuff? It’d be a waste not to take it. Don’t you know there’s some really good stuff in here?"

"These things will be very good for Director Grandma’s health. And look! See what this is? Checks!"

"In the future, this can be used entirely as development funds for the school."

"Once we have more and more children, we’ll be spending money like water, you know."

"Qian’Er, what do you think? Am I right?"

"You know, Jiang, I think Junyue was actually right this time."

"They’re all rolling in money anyway. We can just think of it as robbing the rich to help the poor."

"Even if Director Grandma can’t use them, the children will be able to in the future."

"And if they really can’t be used, we’ll just sell them for cash."

Li Qian’Er never had a good impression of those people to begin with, so she was naturally thrilled that Jun Yue could swindle them out of a fortune.

"But..."

Jiang Fan was about to say more, but Li Jiaxiang cut him off. "If you took it, you took it. Qian’Er has already spoken."

"Why are you being so indecisive? You’re a grown man. Do you really think they’re hurting for any of this?"

"Which one of these people who came here isn’t either rich or powerful?"

Now that the big boss had spoken, Jiang Fan could only pinch his nose and accept it. What else could he say?

’Anyway, if this causes trouble down the line, since you’re the one who said it, you’ll definitely have to help, right?’

"By the way, Junyue, since you’re here, could you keep them company for me?"

"I’ve already had lunch delivered. We’ll be eating in the cafeteria shortly."

"The chefs we hired for the cafeteria won’t arrive until tomorrow."

Jiang Fan said, placing the gift boxes and presents to the side.

"Aren’t you eating? Where are you going?"

"Me? I need to go contact the other welfare institutes in the area."

"I need to check on their situations. You all go ahead and eat. Mr. Li, I’ll be leaving now."

Jiang Fan said his goodbyes, and Li Jiaxiang nodded at him.

"Then let’s go. I’ll walk with you to the gate."

"It’s the perfect chance to tell them no."

Jun Yue said nonchalantly.

"I’m begging you, just wait here for a little while. Go tell them no in half an hour."

"Just say Mr. Li said so."

Hearing this, Li Jiaxiang, who was sitting to the side, rolled his eyes.

’This kid really knows how to use my name for his own ends!’

However, the fact that Jiang Fan was personally visiting the other welfare institutes to inform them, rather than just making a casual phone call, made him exceptionally satisfied with his son-in-law.

’That’s basic respect!’
