Chapter 281
The day before the winter solstice, the list of scholarships for universities in the Magic City came out, and nearly half of the applications from the Foreign Languages College were approved.
As an honorary professor at Stanford University, Michel was surprised by his work efficiency.
Because Professor Mishir is nearly 70 years old, she took only four days to lead the three volunteers and picked out 2,400 of the more than 7,000 applications and prepare for the grants according to five levels.
After learning that Fu Zhengyi, who could go to the charity association's office, went to the office of the charity association, and because he did not know the specific distribution standards, he picked up dozens of application forms to compare. As a result, he found that nearly 80% of the approved scholarships were one to two levels lower than the applicant's own wishes. There were even students who applied for first-class scholarships who were only approved to give the lowest scholarships.
Seeing Fu Zhengyi very confused, Professor Mishir, who looked tired, came over and said with a smile. "Fu, the basis of the approval of the scholarship is to enable these poor students to complete their studies better, rather than to make them completely rely on this scholarship to go to college!"
Knowing that the list was reviewed by Professor Mishir, Fu Zhengyi asked. "What is the measure?"
He handed over a folder on the table, and Professor Mishir signaled him to finish reading first.
The information in the folder is the price list of the canteens of twenty-one universities, and on the back of the table are the statistics on weekly food expenses.
"Some students can't even pay the tuition, but some students just have difficulties in life. Therefore, the principle of issuing scholarships is to ensure their physical development and growth, but they do not deliberately encourage these students to become pure nerds! They still need to go out to contact society. Only in this way can they have richer social experience when they graduate and find a job that is more suitable for them!"
After careful consideration, Fu Zhengyi realized after a moment of understanding. "In other words, the issuance of scholarships is only to ensure their basic life, but those who should bear social activities during college must take the initiative to participate, right?"
"Yes, unless it is students who only engage in basic and theoretical research after graduation, this approach is more appropriate for their growth. Scholarships cannot make students lazy, but should become the driving force that inspires them to continue their efforts!"
Fu Zhengyi, who stood up and bowed solemnly to Professor Mishir, was convinced. "There is such profound knowledge in the actual operation of charity, and I have been taught!"
"I remember there is a saying in the East that 'rescue the urgent but not the poor'. The foundation of charity comes from this. This is not a kind of unprincipled alms, but a kind of assistance, which has the effect of helping the elderly and the orphans and helping the poor, but we must never encourage laziness and greed..."
Fu Zhengyi, who returned to the school with the list of scholarships from the Foreign Languages College, asked Xi Mengmeng and other members of the student union to split the list according to the requirements of the charity association, stood alone by the window and looked at the gloomy sky. After hesitating for a long time, he called Professor Mishir again and asked to take back the title of the special representative in the name of the charity association.
After hesitating for a moment, Professor Mishir asked, "Fu, do you think you can't bear such an obligation?"
Although Fu Zhengyi was not willing to admit his flaws, he finally explained. "At present, my ability is not enough to undertake such screening work. Because I am more emotional, I should not hold such honorary titles and pretend to be the representative of the charity association!"
"Pay! You are too harsh on yourself. Although the charity club needs to do more than just give out the money, as long as you have a charitable heart, there will be no big difference whether it is done well or not, whether it is appropriate or not. If you insist on canceling the identity of the representative, I will send a letter to the Foreign Languages College as soon as possible, but this may have negative impacts and misunderstandings on you. So I suggest you think about it again. The identity of the representative belongs to the charity club, which is just an honor, and it does not mean that you need to bear some responsibility!"
"It's better to cancel it. I will still do what I should do, but the title of this representative is too dazzling, especially when the scholarship is about to be issued, I don't want to be the target of being grateful for! I just hope that my four years in college can be quietly spent..."
Knowing that Fu Zhengyi had made up his mind, Professor Mishire was a little helpless, but in the end he decided to respect his decision, which indicated that he would send a fax to the Foreign Languages College early this morning.
There are more than a dozen colleges in the School of Foreign Languages. Xi Mengmeng, who had sorted out the list of charity associations, heard what he said, so she asked in surprise why Fu Zhengyi did this.
"I may apply to withdraw from the student union next semester. Don't you think this title is too dazzling for an ordinary student?"
Because of the application form, Xi Mengmeng, who has noticed some changes over the past week, frowned and thought carefully for a moment before speaking. "Fu Zhengyi, although some classmates have come to ask about the application being approved these days, I feel a little annoyed and embarrassing, but as a bridge between the charity association and the applicant, I think what I do is meaningful, so I don't agree with your point of view and think you are shirking responsibility!"
Xi Mengmeng, whose nose wrinkled, looked serious, which made Fu Zhengyi feel that his expression was very interesting, so he smiled. "Maybe you are right. But I just want to spend these four years of university life quietly, so if you want, I suggest you go to Professor Mishir to talk to him and strive to become a student representative of the Charity Association in the School of Foreign Languages. How about it?"
"Of course it's good. I'm hoping to win the title of representative. It can help those applicants, and also have more contact with the charity association to understand the way and principles of their operation, and contact the resident representatives of other universities. The social circle can be expanded and the ability can be improved, which can be beneficial but not harmless!"
Xi Mengmeng, who expressed her views with her head held high, surprised Fu Zhengyi, so she called Professor Mishir and asked someone who was willing to be such a resident representative?
"Let her come to me directly. As long as she is willing to devote her energy and time to charity, any charity association will welcome volunteers!"
When Xi Mengmeng learned about Professor Mishir's request, she couldn't believe it would be so simple. She strongly asked Fu Zhengyi to take her with her tomorrow.
"Please! It's Christmas Eve the day after tomorrow. I'll have a lot of things tomorrow. If you believe it, believe it, and if you don't, it will be over!"
Seeing that Fu Zhengyi was pretending to be angry, Xi Mengmeng gave up after laughing. She only heard that he was going back to the dormitory to get things and leaving school, but she said strangely. "Hey, the formal rehearsal tonight will start at 7 o'clock. Are you not going to see it?"
"Is it the Christmas Eve friendship party you started?"
Seeing that Fu Zhengyi really forgot about this, Xi Mengmeng was a little annoyed. "Of course! The performance was officially the night after tomorrow, so the students from the Dance Academy and the Conservatory of Music all came here to start rehearsing this afternoon. Don't have too many people to watch! The students who I asked for in advance to watch were the sea. It doesn't matter, you guy! It's so disappointing..."
Xi Mengmeng, who was chattering all the way, followed her to the boys' dormitory. She seemed to be unable to see her, but she didn't respect her labor results, but she did not support the work of the Student Union's Art Department, and she had opinions about her!
Naoren was so distressed by her. Seeing that Xi Mengmeng was chasing her into the dormitory, she had to lose and said that she would be on time, which made Xi Mengmeng turn anger and leave.
Wang Jian, who was about to go to the cafeteria, looked incredible. "Fu Zhengyi, you are so good. You are a great person who has joined the student union! Do you know how much rehearsals of the friendship party are worth looking forward to? Let me tell you, it's a big deal to get a spot for the audience!"
I will set out to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. Fu Zhengyi planned to go back to the dormitory to get things after finishing the matter, and go back to the apartment in Dongkou Garden to stay in the evening, so he said helplessly. "If you are willing to go, I will give you the quota!"
Wang Jian was even more furious when he heard this. "You kid is a cheap man! Only those who have agreed can be put in. Even if you want to distract the account, you will take us in first before you escape!"
You Yong, who had just walked to the door with the bowl, turned his face and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I'm going to find Shi Xiang after I have dinner..."
"There is no humanity in the opposite sex! Get out!"
Wang Jian, who shouted, ran over and hugged Fu Zhengyi's shoulder and licked his face and begged. "Zhengyi, please do a favor..."
After looking at the time, I saw that it was already six o'clock in the evening and I went back to the apartment alone to rest. Fu Zhengyi agreed. After the three of them went to the cafeteria together, they threw the lunch box to You Yong, who was going back to the dormitory to change clothes, and took Wang Jian to the small auditorium.
When I walked around the teaching building and saw the small auditorium, I saw the students gathered outside the window when I saw the small auditorium door. Fu Zhengyi was so surprised!
It's dense, almost all of them are boys!
A group of students who were blocking the door were arguing with the members of the student union guarding the door, and they were lying on the window ridge and looking inside, but they all said nothing and looked excited!
Seeing Fu Zhengyi's face full of doubt, Wang Jian pointed to the boys who were lying beside the window and smiled. "See? I got the news that the students from the Dance Academy and the Conservatory of Music are coming to rehearse tonight, and it was like taking stimulants in the afternoon. I heard that I escaped class at four o'clock in the afternoon and ran to watch..."
Chapter completed!
