[Chapter 148]
"Mr. Carson, I have something to take care of outside campus so I will occasionally ask for leave. I hope you can grant me this special privilege," David said.
"Oh? You want a special privilege to take leave whenever you want? Can you tell me why?" Oliver smiled and asked.
He was also curious why David was bold enough to come to the chancellor and make this kind of request.
Also, it seemed that David was sure that Oliver would agree.
"Since I'm running a business outside of campus, I will be quite busy."
"Business? Mr. Lidell, the university supports its students in starting their businesses. If you give the university the relevant documents, the university can grant you that privilege after we look through and approve it."
"I don't want to do that. That's why I came to you," David said.
"Oh? Mr. Lidell, do you think I would agree?" "I believe you won't say no, Mr. Carson." "What's the reason?" Oliver asked.
"Because I am going to donate 100 million to South River University, of which 50 million will be set up as a n impoverished student award fund, which will specifically be given to impoverished students with good academic performance, while the other 50 million will be used to improve various facilities of the university. Mr. Carson, what do you think?" David said with a smile.
When Oliver heard what David said, he was obviously shocked.
Donating 100 million to the South River University?
This was something that South River University had never encountered in all these years since it was first established.
There had never been such a precedent even among the nation's leading universities. South River University is at least in the top ten among the nation's leading universities, let alone South River University
After so many years of establishment, it had also cultivated many celebrities from all walks of life. They received, all sorts of donations but most of them only consisted of several million dollars.
South River University had been established for so many years, while the largest donation was from a student who graduated from South River University many years ago. Now he was a tycoon in the business world with billions of dollars, but he only donated 20 million to the university.
Now, a third-year student at the university actually said that he would donate 100 million to the university?
Who would believe this?
To be frank, Oliver himself did not believe it either.
In his opinion, David was probably here to play the chancellor as a fool.
"Mr. Lidell, are you sure you want to donate 100 million to the university? And you're not just playing me for a fool?" Oliver sat up straight and asked.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I come to you? To chat? If I wanted to chat, wouldn't it be better if I
went to chat with the female students?" David said with a smile.
Oliver looked at David carefully.
David was not showing the restraint the other students would normally display when they saw him. Instead, he showed a cynical attitude, proving that he was definitely not afraid of Oliver.
Was he a son of an aristocratic family?
Probably!
Could a year three student earn 100 million by starting a business? Oliver would never believe it.
If David was going to donate 100 million, how much money did he have?
1 billion?
Or 10 billion?
If David was not here to take him as a fool, then David had to be the child of one of the aristocratic families.
Plus, if the university was able to receive an additional 100 million in funding, they would be able to do a lot of things. They might even be able to hire a few of the leading lights from the province.
This would be good to upgrade the university. Oliver's dream was to push South River University into becoming one of the top three prestigious universities in the country.
"Alright, Mr. Lidell, if you really donate 100 million to the university, then I'll give you this special privilege. At the same time, I will thank you for your contribution to South River University. However, if you're just here to play me for a fool, don't blame me for doing things according to the rules."
