Jiang Yan stepped outside to take a call and returned shortly after.
He happened to overhear Teacher Yu apologizing to Mu Jiawen, "... I told the principal not to mention your names or offer any praise, but he was so excited. After all, this is the first time someone has donated so many books to the school all at once. While praising you, he also wanted to motivate the students to strive for success, to prove to them that children from rural backgrounds can create their own success. The intention was good, but I was worried it might cause you unnecessary trouble, so I never let him hang the banner with your names on it in the library."
Jiang Yan thought to himself that trouble had indeed come looking for him.
But he didn't voice this thought; after all, when he had heard about the whole school praising them from Xie Lin, he had anticipated this.
