A Girl Who Wants to Be a Beneficial Person to Society

Chapter 206

Xiao Qi rode Ji Gu, drumming with great delight.

She felt exhilarated by the drumming, as if she hadn't had a good run in a long time. It was rare for someone to take her on such a fast-paced ride, burning off the excess food fat accumulated in her belly.

Every lap she made, she would encounter Li Weijin. Although they were both heading in the same direction, Li Weijin's teenage horse, Mud Stain, was clearly not very fast. It could only be considered above average, nowhere near Ji Gu's speed.

Ji Gu had incredible explosive power and remarkable endurance.

No wonder it always ate so much.

Xiao Qi felt like she was just like Ji Gu.

Except she didn't have Ji Gu's strength and robust physique. Instead, she had the endurance and stamina of a donkey, the bouncing power of a panda, the strength of a strong human, and a buff in sprinting explosiveness. Well, she should probably eat more to increase her own stamina. Lately, Xiao Qi found running to be increasingly effortless.

Previously, she would be exhausted from walking 30,000 steps every day, feeling like a dead dog. But now, after finishing her run, she could leisurely stroll without any difficulty.

Xiao Qi enjoyed this clear sense of progress in stages.

Sensing that Ji Gu had exercised enough for the day, Xiao Qi grabbed the reins and slowed down, leading Ji Gu towards the stable.

As she dismounted, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "The host's beautiful and fit figure while riding a horse has brought positive energy to her classmates, allowing them to experience the feeling of first love. Reward: +1 cm in height for the host."

Xiao Qi: ...

The only classmate on the equestrian field right now is Li Weijin, right?

What on earth is "first love"?

Could it be what she's thinking?

Xiao Qi felt extremely awkward and strange. She quickly bid farewell to Ji Gu and rushed to the club.

After taking a shower, she went straight to the dining hall.

Eating first was the priority.

Today, she ordered Western cuisine: spaghetti, cod fillet, fried chicken leg, donuts, and a pile of meat sauce, grilled bread, fresh mushroom soup, boiled broccoli, and a fruit salad. Except for the broccoli and fruit salad, everything else was high in calories.

Xiao Qi felt particularly hungry after riding Ji Gu, so these dishes should be just right.

She was originally worried about running into Li Weijin while eating, fearing that it would be a bit awkward.

But as it turned out, she sat there and saw Li Weijin. Li Weijin came out after his shower, taking longer than her. His hair was still wet, and he was wearing a pink shirt with knee-length khaki pants. The shirt was not as meticulously buttoned as usual, with the top two buttons left undone, revealing his beautiful collarbone. Was the water too hot? His collarbone looked slightly red.

His wet hair fell on his head, and his face still had a cool and aloof vibe.

Xiao Qi: ... I guess he's what they mean by "easy on the eyes."

No wonder these young idols become so popular. Their looks alone are enough to captivate anyone.

She glanced at him, lowered her head, pretending not to have seen him.

But to her surprise, he seemed even more flustered than her, glanced at her, and then... ran away.

Xiao Qi: ...

Well, she was originally worried about an awkward meal, so this works out perfectly.

Xiao Qi savored a meticulously prepared meal by Chef Luo, a master of Western cuisine. The grilled codfish was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Its golden-brown color and subtle saltiness made it incredibly delicious. Chef Luo proudly mentioned that the salt used was specially brought from overseas.

Although the fried chicken leg was high in calories, it was incredibly satisfying to eat. The outer layer was crispy, sealing in the succulent juices. The chicken meat was tender, slightly sweet, and wonderfully fresh. Xiao Qi had no problem devouring two of them in one go.

The meat sauce was also incredibly flavorful, especially when paired with toasted bread and served with a side of fresh mushroom soup. The combination created a perfect blend of textures and flavors.

The spaghetti was smooth and chewy, but the sauce was a bit on the sweet side, making it average compared to the other dishes.

The broccoli that followed was a bit oily and greasy.

The fruit salad included avocado, which itself had no distinct taste. However, when combined with the salad, it added a pleasant texture, reminiscent of plant-based fat. The avocado had a unique and refreshing fragrance and a remarkably smooth texture when eaten.

It was a perfect meal, a perfect day.

After wiping her mouth with a tissue, Xiao Qi finally noticed Xiao Shengzhou sitting in front of her.

"Did you enjoy the meal?" he asked.

Xiao Qi nodded and replied, "It was delicious. I feel like this meal was worth more than my salary."

Xiao Shengzhou chuckled. He observed how Xiao Qi's enjoyment of food could arouse one's appetite and make everything taste exceptionally good. Her sincere appreciation was evident, and indeed, this meal cost more than 200 yuan. The codfish alone would probably cost over a hundred yuan.

Xiao Shengzhou handed Xiao Qi something that looked like an A4-sized document.

Curiously, Xiao Qi took it and discovered that it was a donation certificate. Impressive speed.

"Wow, there's even a certificate!"

As Xiao Qi read the contents, she saw the title at the top, "Donation Certificate."

Dear Xiao Qi:

Thank you for your concern and support for the field of education. The 20,000 yuan you donated will be used entirely to build a school in Shanxia Village, Ladong Township, Luxi Town, according to your wishes.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Enhua University Education Development Foundation

At the bottom, there were timestamps and stamps—the stamp of the Student Union, the foundation's stamp, and the school's stamp.

It looked very official.

Xiao Qi was pleasantly surprised to receive this. She thought that Xiao Shengzhou was indeed worthy of being the student union president. Although she didn't know what would happen next, at least the donor would feel satisfied.

Many times, people are not indifferent or unwilling to help others. It's just that they don't know where to start or if their goodwill will be reciprocated. Over time, they become accustomed to indifference.

Recalling the time when she helped the groom with a broken leg and quietly donated some money, even though the other person didn't say anything, they gave her the most sincere return. They were willing to offer a genuine blessing at the cost of their own life.

Xiao Qi felt that the system was quite sincere and honest. It always spoke the truth, so it must be the genuine feelings of the other person.

Most of the people she encountered were grateful when helped. However, there were a few who seemed unappreciative and indifferent.

She was willing to continue giving to the majority because she often thought of her own family's hardships. If she were to encounter difficulties, she hoped that someone would extend a helping hand.

"Thank you, President Xiao Shengzhou. This is the first time I've received such a certificate, and I will treasure it," Xiao Qi said sincerely with a smile.

Xiao Qi's words stirred something in Xiao Shengzhou's heart. From what the young girl implied, it seemed that she had done good deeds before, but she had never received a certificate for them. He couldn't help but regard her highly.

The matter of the donations led by foreign teachers was a mix of some teachers genuinely willing to engage in charity and others perceiving China as a poor country and wanting to contribute. Overall, these foreign teachers were relatively well-off. They had decent salaries at Enhua, so it was a win-win situation for both parties to contribute some money for spiritual fulfillment. However, Xiao Shengzhou didn't expect that Su Xiao Qi, a student who worked part-time at his horse farm, would also be willing to donate.

Moreover, he was aware of the source of the money.

Because Su Xiao Qi had donated, he took the initiative to look up some information about the girl and discovered that she was not only talented in singing but also excelled at swimming. When she participated in swimming competitions, she openly admitted that it was for the prize money.

Considering the timing, it seemed like the money she donated could be used to pay her tuition fees. Enhua's tuition fees were quite high for an average family.

During the summer vacation, the girl worked as a tutor to earn money.

Her family background should be ordinary, and her life experiences were very simple. Unlike some foreign teachers who seemed to have some childhood psychological trauma, hoping to soothe their own inner self by helping others, she had no vanity of seeking fame. When she transferred the money to herself, she didn't even include any remarks and was genuinely surprised when she received the donation certificate.

Xiao Shengzhou initially planned to give her the certificate and leave, but at this moment, he changed his mind and sat down.

He asked, "I see that you are very good at horseback riding. The horses seem docile when you handle them, but in reality, they are not easily ridden by others."

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "I love horses. I feel very comfortable being around them, probably because I grew up in the mountains."

Xiao Shengzhou smiled.

"We need an equestrian master at our horse farm. Are you willing to take on that role?"

Xiao Qi was taken aback. Was he being so casual about it?

Seeing her confusion, Xiao Shengzhou became even more determined. In fact, he hadn't thought about hiring an equestrian master before. A formal equestrian master participated in relevant competitions with horses as their medium, and he was considering whether to close down the horse farm or explore other options.

But when he saw this young girl and thought about her radiant smile on horseback, he suddenly wanted to give it another try.

"Yes, the salary for an equestrian master would be much higher, and if you perform well, there will be opportunities to participate in official competitions with generous prize money," Xiao Shengzhou was a formidable person who knew how to steer a conversation.

Indeed, as soon as he mentioned the prize money, the eyes of the girl across from him immediately lit up.

However, she asked, "But I came here with my roommate. If I become an equestrian master, what about the previous job?"

"It's alright, I will find another suitable person," Xiao Shengzhou replied. This further affirmed his opinion of the young girl. It was rare for someone to not forget their friends when faced with personal gain.
