My capital is quite large.

Chapter 315 Truth

Amidst this awkward atmosphere simmering with tension...

According to the procedure, it was the turn of the outstanding liberal arts graduates.

Wang Jiahui, a pretty girl, went on stage to give her graduation speech.

Wang Jiahui walked to the microphone stand.

She looked at Li Feng, who was sitting calmly in the first row below the stage, and took a deep breath.

Her scholarly spirit and unwavering commitment to fairness led her to crumple up her speech without warning after finishing her opening remarks.

"We are honored to hear about Senior Li Feng's generous donation today," Wang Jiahui's voice rang out through the microphone in the silent auditorium.

"However, as a literature and history major, I was filled with confusion when I looked at the scholarship details on the big screen."

"We both study hard year after year, and we both work tirelessly for academic pursuits. Why is it that in Li's eyes, STEM fields are valued ten times more than humanities fields? Don't we humanities students deserve equal treatment and respect in our pursuit of truth?"

"I want to ask Senior Li, where exactly is this so-called fairness?!"

boom!!

Publicly challenge them!

A liberal arts graduate who hadn't even graduated actually dared to publicly question this tycoon who controlled a multi-billion dollar empire on stage in front of the province's media and school leaders!

"Jiahui! Are you crazy! Shut up!!"

In the audience, Wang Jiahui's mentor turned pale with fright and frantically tried to wink at her from the front row.

This is Chairman Li, whom even the provincial government treats like a deity! And you, a fresh graduate, come here questioning how he spends his money?!

This is not only damaging Li Feng's reputation, but also jeopardizing the livelihoods of the entire leadership team at Jinda!

The principal, sitting in the first row, wiped his forehead repeatedly with a handkerchief, then turned to Li Feng to smooth things over:

"Chairman Li... I'm so sorry! The child is young and naive, and her behavior was a bit extreme! Please don't hold it against this little girl; I'll definitely have the department deal with it seriously!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuxi, sitting in the audience, had a face as cold as ice.

She wanted to use official language to refute this arrogant female student.

However, before she could even speak...

Li Feng interrupted Secretary Zhang.

He stood up calmly.

He walked onto the podium under the watchful eyes of over a thousand people and the focus of dozens of cameras.

"Fairness?" Li Feng's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a thunderclap.

"It's my money, I can spend it however I want!"

......

The huge auditorium was completely silent.

The phrase, "It's my money, I can spend it however I want," echoed under the empty dome, shocking many liberal arts professors and students, who turned pale.

Li Feng stood in front of the podium, looking at the somewhat stiff atmosphere below the stage, and shook his head inwardly.

I let myself go a little on stage just now. Although it sounded impressive, this was, after all, a public occasion at Jinan University's graduation ceremony, and there were quite a few reporters from provincial and municipal media outlets recording the event.

In this system that values ​​gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility, one should always try to keep things on the surface as smooth as possible.

He smiled slightly, breaking the deathly silence:

"However, Wang, and all the teachers and students present, I think your understanding of fairness may be somewhat superficial."

"We can broaden our perspective. Everyone knows about the Nobel Prize, right? It's one of the most prestigious and recognized scientific awards in the world."

"But why is there no prize in mathematics among the major awards for physics, chemistry, and medicine?"

The students below the stage were taken aback by what he said, but they quickly realized what Li Feng wanted to say.

"Because when Alfred Nobel made his will, he did not include mathematics in it due to his personal preferences."

"This is why the highest honors in mathematics today are the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Wolf Prize."

Li Feng's gaze swept calmly across the entire room: "But this does not diminish the greatness of the Nobel Prize, nor has anyone accused Mr. Nobel of favoritism back then."

"Since Mr. Nobel can decide where his funds are invested according to his own will, then why can't I, as the sole funder of the Haofeng Scholarship, do the same?"

This statement, which uses the Nobel Prize as a shield, is logically flawless.

Since the rules are set by the investors, it's not up to outsiders to interfere.

However, Wang Jiahui, standing on the stage, bit her lower lip as she listened to Li Feng's vague and general explanation.

Her competitive spirit, wanting to prove herself in front of her idol, sustained her from backing down.

She grabbed the microphone and retorted, "But senior Li Feng, if I remember correctly, the master's degree you just received from Jinan University was in Business Administration."

"Doesn't this fall under the categories of social sciences and humanities in academic disciplines?"

"You yourself are a liberal arts student, so do you not like your major?"

Upon hearing this question, the school leaders sitting in the audience broke out in a cold sweat.

This girl is insane! She actually dares to make a fuss about Boss Li's academic qualifications!

But Li Feng smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

This little girl is quite interesting; she has that unique arrogance of a small-town exam-taker.

"Wang, you can't just look at the surface of a problem."

Li Feng calmly retorted, "My undergraduate major was Computer Science and Technology, which is pure science and solid engineering. As for why I chose Business Administration for my master's degree..."

"As Haofeng Group grows larger, I, as a business manager, need more systematic management knowledge to govern my company."

"Computer science is my major, while business administration is a skill I need to master at this stage. This does not represent my preference."

"Wang, everyone here, we must distinguish between survival and long-term development."

"We are now facing severe technological blockades and sanctions from the Western world! This is a war concerning the survival of our country's high-tech industries!"

"At this juncture, the sciences are fundamental to achieving breakthroughs in science and technology, maintaining our industrial independence, and ensuring our survival!"

At this point, Li Feng's tone became solemn: "While the humanities are certainly very important, they bear the responsibility of long-term cultural inheritance, the enlightenment of human thought, and macro-level guidance."

"For the country to develop and for industries to break through, we must use resources wisely and effectively!"

"What Haofeng's subsidiaries, Huaxin Technology and Xiaomi, are currently most eager for are precisely STEM professionals in areas such as semiconductor algorithms and materials science!"

"Therefore, the scholarships established by our group will naturally give priority to those whose majors are related to the production and progress of our own company."

"That's not hard to understand, is it?"

A highly realistic and pragmatic analysis, supported by the greater good of the nation, silenced all of Wang Jiahui's rebuttals.

Science solves the present, while the humanities determine the future.

Faced with a survival crisis, any lofty sentiments must give way to real business.

"I...I understand."

Looking at her mentor's almost murderous stern gaze from below the stage, Wang Jiahui finally realized the enormity of her mistake.

If she continues to be stubborn on stage, she might not even get her graduation certificate tomorrow.

"Senior Li, I was narrow-minded. Thank you for your guidance."

Wang Jiahui lowered her head, looking somewhat pale, and bowed deeply to Li Feng.

"It's alright. It's a good thing for students to have their own thoughts." Li Feng smiled generously, then turned and walked down the steps.

Thunderous applause erupted once again in the auditorium.

Although those liberal arts students may still feel uncomfortable, in the end, the world is ruled by those who hold power and wealth.
