Chapter 1046: Welfare Home
The building of this welfare home looks very old. Some of the houses are covered with creepers outside. There are several trees in the yard. They look like willow trees, but it is hard to tell them apart. Among these trees, there is a tall one that is as tall as three stories.
There are several children sitting under the willow tree. The half-grown children are reading books. It can be seen that this willow tree has become a place for children to rest.
The old man is a little strange. Are you here to see the director?
What Jiangnan Charity Foundation?
I have never heard of it...
Didn’t the local Red Cross just come in?
They haven’t gone out yet. Why do they take turns to come here today for all these meetings?
Although it is very strange, the old man still has no intention of refusing. After all, guests are guests, so he directly let Suo Longqi and Tang Lan in.
Suo Longqi himself is fine, but Tang Lan is looking at these children at this moment. The youngest is only five or six years old. Suddenly, she feels uncomfortable in her heart. Such young children can only live in the welfare home?
"Grandpa, which of these children have just been sent here?"
The old man was a little surprised. Could it be that these two people came to adopt children?
Or some distant relatives?
But he still said truthfully: "The children who are eating in the canteen now are basically just sent here. It has been a few days. The director means that they will continue to raise them and see if there are relatives who come to claim them. If the children are willing to go with them, then they will go with them. But if these relatives abuse or prejudice these children, the welfare home will not let the children be taken away even if they sue."
It seems that the director of this welfare home is a very responsible person...
While saying this, Suo Longqi was relieved. Such a director is indeed worthy of their funding.
"The director is now negotiating with the Red Cross. You wait here for a while!"
Suo Longqi signaled the old man not to worry about them, and then walked around in this small room. Does this look like the director's office?
It seems that the director and the Red Cross people have occupied the only meeting room. From here, you can also see a small classroom opposite. The classroom doesn't look big. There are two classrooms in total, one in front and one in the back. They should be divided into two different age groups of children?
There are several books on the director's desk. They look like common story books. They should be used to tell children. This director must be a very gentle person in his heart.
There are Andersen's fairy tales, Aesop's fables, etc. on the bookshelf. On the other side of the shelf are the Analects, University, Three Character Classic, and Disciple Rules. The preparation for the children's education is very sufficient. Then, Suo Longqi accidentally saw a photo hanging on the wall.
The photo has yellowed and has been enlarged. There is a couple in the photo. They look very loving. It was taken at the beach. The woman is beautiful and wears an elegant dress. The man looks sunny and handsome. He wears a uniform and looks like... a member of the army?
Is the director of this orphanage a retired soldier?
Tang Lan's attention has been attracted by the children. Now she has come to the willow tree in the middle of the yard. Tang Lan seems to have a natural affinity. The children are not on guard against this very beautiful sister. After taking out a few candies from her pocket, Tang Lan quickly became friends with the children.
Suo Longqi leaned against the window and looked at this scene helplessly, but then a smile appeared on his face. He was willing to come out with Tang Lan because he liked the very pure smile on Tang Lan's mouth without a trace of impurities. After hearing that his daughter had been staying with Suo Longqi, Tang Lan's father also looked very relieved. From time to time, he often asked people to send some good wine to Suo Longqi's father, Chairman Suo. Chairman Suo was also a smart person and immediately understood what Tang Lan's father meant.
The attitude towards these two young people is basically not to interfere, but there is a sense of matchmaking.
So Boss Tang has an indulgent attitude towards his daughter. He doesn't care what his daughter does. Anyway, his daughter has someone to rely on in the future. It doesn't matter if they make trouble for a few years, right?
Tang's father has also seen the ambition and ambition that Suo Longqi has shown in recent years. Moreover, the young man is young and handsome, and his appearance is completely worthy of his daughter. He is also a returnee who studied abroad and runs a clothing store. It is said that he has a very good position in the head office of this clothing store. Tang Lan's brother said that the young man with a mysterious origin named Li Yi is standing behind Suo Longqi.
Although there are many rumors about Li Yi in the market, some people say that Li Yi's father is actually a senior person above, and the child could have been a politician, but chose to go into business. Some people say that Li Yi is actually the apprentice of Wang Gaohua, a business tycoon in Jiangnan City, and some people say that Li Yi started from scratch by reselling apples. Among these statements, Tang's father actually thinks the second one is the most reliable. Li Yi must have a master behind him to guide him and serve as a backer.
Otherwise, why can he get the largest store in Lianhua Plaza and open a home appliance mall and clothing store?
Wang Gaohua's Lianhua Plaza doesn't need to work hard to attract investment. The existence of Lianhua Plaza itself is a recognition of the development level of this city, at least in the eyes of Tang's father. Since Li Yi can open branches in many Lianhua Plazas, is there any doubt about the relationship between him and Wang Gaohua?
It has reached this level. Even if he is not Wang Gaohua's apprentice, it is almost the same.
Under the deliberate indulgence of Tang's father, Tang Lan has been running outside with Suo Longqi for the past two years, and the relationship between the two has been deepening little by little.
Not long, more than ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in a suit came out of the three-story building opposite and left the yard without looking back. Then a woman appeared from the small building. After the old man walked up and whispered a few words, the woman smiled and nodded. Her face was a little tired, but it did not affect her beauty at all.
The woman walked slowly to the office. At this moment, Suo Longqi was holding a copy of the Book of Changes in his hand and reading it intently. When he heard the footsteps, he put down the book in his hand and looked at the door. He was stunned!
He really didn't expect that the director of this welfare home was the woman in the photo on the wall!
The woman was obviously used to Suo Longqi's look.
