Ding Yue handed over the cash prize to Tian Jinliang, Peng Hui, Wang Xiaoping, and Chu Xiao.
When these four initially heard Principal Ding announce that the whole school would commend them, they were already very excited. Now, with the addition of the award money from Principal Ding, they didn't know what to say.
"Principal Ding, this money, we... we can't accept it. This time we only visited the Huangcheng Forest Farm, and the ultimate exposure was due to your and the school's efforts,"
Tian Jinliang shook his head, declining the school's recognition prize money.
The other three basically felt the same way.
They knew that the school giving them the chance to visit this time was already quite good and that the news exposure of the Huangcheng Forest Farm incident was largely due to Principal Ding and the school's significant efforts. Otherwise, the press releases they wrote after their visit and interviews would not have been published or even known by more people.
