Return to the Pure and Innocent Godly Tycoon

Chapter 14 Jade Bursary
After the ceremony, it was lunch time. The guests and heads above the school’s dean level went to the reception hotel for dinner, other ordinary teachers went to the staff restaurant, and the students ran around in various cafeterias.

The school opened for lunch at eleven o'clock, and students who did not have the second class came early. With the people from all walks of life attending the ceremony, the canteens began to fill up.

The cafeteria was bustling, and no one noticed when Cao Si and a group of people walked in.

On the left and right of Cao Si are Zheng Qi and Wang Ziying, behind is Feng Mengmeng, next to him is Li Gaofeng, and further away are other classmates.

A group of people took their plates, queued up to get food, and then found a large table in the middle to sit down. The large stainless steel table had a total of 8 seats on both sides, which was enough.

Cao Si turned his back to the food window and faced the washing area. He saw a lonely person sitting in the corner, Qian Xiuhua.

Cao Si felt a little uncomfortable and said to Li Gaofeng next to him, "Brother Feng, please help me accompany some beauties." He nodded to the girls, and without waiting for them to say anything, he picked up the plate and walked quickly to the opposite side of Qian Xiuhua. .

Li Gaofeng and others were a little dazed. Zheng Qi reacted quickly and wanted to pick up the plate and follow her. Wang Ziying grabbed her and said, "Don't go, maybe Cao Si has something wrong."

Cao Si sat down and said, "Qian Xiuhua, are you going to eat alone?"

Qian Xiuhua raised her head and said, "Yes." She gently pulled the plate forward, lowered her head and continued to pick up the rice. There was only one portion of rice and one vegetable on her plate.

Cao Si did not dare to look carefully and said, "Today is the first time we have met. We are new friends. I will use the canteen to invite you to have a meal with me today." He quickly ran to the food window and saw that the crowd was less and the queue was small. I ordered two bowls of the same dish, each with two servings of meat.

Li Gaofeng and others kept watching what Cao Si was doing, and they ate quietly without speaking.

Cao Si gently handed a bowl of food to Qian Xiuhua, "Here, let's borrow flowers to offer to Buddha today. Each of us will have one."

Qian Xiuhua looked up at Cao Si for a while, then said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Cao Si smiled cheerfully and said, "Let's start." He took a chopstick of food from his own bowl and went over. After Qian Xiuhua finished eating, he started to take food from the bowl in front of him.

The two of them were talking quietly, without saying a word.

Cao Si is the most eye-catching boy in the class. Qian Xiuhua naturally knows him and has a good impression of him.Although she didn't understand why the other party took the initiative to find her for dinner, she understood the kindness.Ever since she was little, she has always known what is true and good and what is false and good.

Li Gaofeng and others in the middle continued to watch. Wang Ziying might have understood something and sighed softly.

In the same cafeteria, not far away, tall Wang Yu sat with Qu Na and Tang Juan, and a group of taller men's handball players sat around them.

Qu Na was also looking at Cao Si. She saw him sitting and eating with a dark, fat, short girl. She pointed at Cao Si and smiled at Wang Yu, "Look what your Cao Si is doing?"

Wang Yu had actually seen Cao Si a long time ago. She paid attention to him from the time he sat down and stood up to change positions, then sat down and stood up again to get food, and ate with the girl opposite.After listening to Qu Na's words, she was thoughtful and shook her head in silence.

Tang Juan glanced at it, lowered her head and ate gracefully. She was silent during eating and sleeping. She was always obedient.

----

At noon, on campus, at the Sixue Fund Office, which is a special office area provided by the school to CSF.

The Sixue Fund is normally operated by the school on a daily basis, and the school is responsible for approval and allocation; Guo Zeshi supervises the fund on behalf of CSF.

Cao Si and Guo Zeshi sat opposite each other, with the tea table in the middle.

Cao Si drank a cup of tea first, then put down the cup and said, "Lao Guo, regarding the operation of the fund, it was previously promised that the school would be responsible for it, and we only have the right to supervise it."

Guo Zeshi nodded.

"I came to see you today because I wanted to mention the scholarship for poor students."

In 1999, it was really difficult for poor students.Since the mid-90s, domestic colleges and universities have begun to charge comprehensive fees, and the cost of studying for college students has become a big deal. Many people gave up because they received the admission notice and had no money to study. The story of a certain student who had to rely on fellow villagers to raise tuition fees was reported on the Internet. It has also been circulated for a long time.

After all, there are very few good people in the private sector who have money to support poor students in going to college.These days, there has not yet been an explosive growth in wealth among the people.

As for top-level support?All walks of life need a large amount of financial allocations, and the education industry is already the largest allocation, but how many schools, how many teachers, and how many students across the country?
In 1999, the country began to implement college student loans. The pilot cities were only eight cities with a high concentration of universities, and Nanbin was not among them.It was not until 2000 that it was implemented nationwide.

In terms of national bursaries, it was only launched in 2007. This is for poor students. The proportion of the recipients varies according to the region. For example, Nanbin belongs to the eastern region, and later it accounted for about 10% of the students in the school. You can get this money.With more than 3000 yuan a year, I can basically satisfy my needs.

Also in 2007, motivational scholarships were also launched.This is for the best students from poor families. 3% of the students can apply for it every year, and the money is 5000 yuan a year.

There is also an earlier national scholarship, which was established in the first half of 2002 and began to be distributed in the autumn semester of that year. In addition to receiving scholarships for different degree levels, winners can also directly receive tuition exemptions.By the 21s, only 20 percent of students will receive state scholarships.

Even if the above-mentioned student loans, bursaries, inspirational scholarships, and national scholarships were established later, they can basically only solve the tuition and living problems of about 10% of poor and extremely poor students.Of course, at that time, the middle and lower classes had a lot more money, and the poverty standards were different.

Assuming that all national scholarships are obtained by poor students, at most 1% of them are rich and poor students. If they do not send money home, the living standards of most school students are already far higher than that of most school students; 3% are students with medium consumption ability, which is the same as most school students. The living standard remains the same; 6% of poor students can already solve the problem of food.In fact, probably close to 30% of students are poor students. 10% can receive financial aid, while the remaining nearly 20% of poor students can only make ends meet. Some can work part-time, and some can apply for other types of bursaries donated by the society to colleges and universities.There is nothing we can do about the remaining food, and we eat very poorly.

Moreover, most of the social scholarships are only available to top prestigious schools. Generally speaking, donations below 985 can be obtained very rarely, and most of them are targeted or one-time.

Social donations for education are mainly donated to the development and expansion of schools, targeted project cooperation, and icing on the cake. Too little help is given to the poor in times of need.

There is no way to blame the rich for this. The saying of helping people in emergencies rather than helping the poor has been around since ancient times and has its own truth.

Therefore, at Nanbin University in 1999, the difficulties of poor students were obvious, and there was basically no help for them.What the school can do is to delay the collection of tuition fees and provide as many work-study opportunities as possible.

Guo Zeshi said: "I have talked with Principal Dong, and the school intends to provide subsidies in two parts: tuition and living expenses."

Half of the tuition fees for poor students are loans and half are exempted. The loan portion can be extended to be repaid five years after graduation without interest.

Living allowances are directly paid to meal cards, and consolation payments are provided on holidays.

Cao Si nodded, "Okay. In addition, we will prepare new clothes and shoes for poor students twice a year. The grade does not need to be high, just ordinary students."

"I have thought about this issue, but haven't told the school yet. Send money to students' accounts and let them buy clothes by themselves. Students may save the money and send it home. It is human nature to have some money to take care of the family. It is a good thing .”

"It's not a good idea to give out clothes directly. Once clothes are given out, the styles are relatively uniform, which will be more troublesome. It means that poor students are separated separately, which hurts people's self-esteem."

Cao Si finished another cup of tea and tapped his fingers on the table, "In this way, all students will be given clothes, including poor students and ordinary students."

"This money will be paid separately and will not go to the school fund account. You arrange for people to negotiate with the school and the city, and ask the city to negotiate with clothing stores and shoe stores not to increase prices, and to produce consumption coupons with a unified amount."

"Then the school will issue consumer vouchers, and the students can redeem them by themselves!" Cao Si made a final decision.

Guo Zeshi's calm face also smiled at this moment, "Good way. I will inform the school and the city to cooperate well, prohibit the resale of consumption coupons, and absolutely ensure that all students must wear the new clothes and shoes issued."

Cao Si nodded, "The student ID number and ID number are printed on the voucher. If the two vouchers and one voucher do not match, the voucher will be invalid."

As for whether there is a god who can find loopholes to exploit, the two of them don't care, as long as they ensure that the vast majority of students are covered.

The two were silent for a while, looked at each other and smiled. After almost two months of cooperation, they had more and more tacit understanding.

Guo Zeshi said: "One more thing. President Dong said this morning that various projects will be set up separately, which is what it should be. He also mentioned in private that he would like to ask you to name various funding projects."

Cao Si nodded and thought for a moment, "I'll think about the rest later. The student aid project for poor students is called..."

After a pause, "Jade Bursary!"

Guo Zeshi smiled and nodded, "Understood."

Cao Si gave him a blank look.

Next, the two continued to discuss the work-study program for poor students.

With tuition fees, living expenses, holiday condolences, and clothing subsidies, students' worries have been completely solved.But Cao Si also hopes that poor students can obtain more abundant funds through their own efforts, and that people can become more confident by supporting themselves.

The difficulty for poor students is that they cannot even guarantee food, let alone have money to make friends and expand their social circle.Except for a few people who are optimistic by nature and take the initiative to explore, which can change their life destiny, most of them spend their lives struggling in the world after graduation.

Now that they have some extra money in their hands, these people from poor family backgrounds will have more opportunities.

In the end, it was Guo Zeshi who suggested that the small supermarket in the dormitory area could be used to cater to poor students.

Each poor student works two hours a day, and the hourly wage is set at a higher rate, up to 2 yuan.A student who works 15 days a month can earn 10 yuan.

小超市每天早上7点半点到晚上23点半营业，16个小时排8个班，每个班需要5人，一天人力消耗是40人次，全月30天算是1200人次。

If one student visits 10 times a month, plus 2-3 permanent managers, we can help more than 120 students in a month, and help them get 300 yuan each. Over time, we will have 3000 yuan in a year.

Cao Si felt that these considerations were not bad and highly feasible, so he nodded in support.

Cao Si stood up and said finally, "We can open another small supermarket in the teaching area. There are many classrooms and scientific research units there. It is inconvenient for teachers and students to shop. We can solve it together. We can digest twice as many students." !”

Guo Zeshi does everything he can.
