After coming out of the Yun family house, Li Su’s best friends didn’t quite understand. “Susu, can’t you just give money for this kind of thing? Does it need to be so troublesome?”
Yes, it was only a hundred thousand. It was not as expensive as one of their bags.
“It’s easy to solve a person’s difficulties if you just give money. But, there are so many poor people. Even if we scatter all our family’s wealth, we can’t help all of them. Moreover, this time there was a difficulty. If you give money, then what about next time? Will everyone reach out for money? As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Simply giving money will not change their fate. Moreover, although we are doing charity, we cannot be completely reckless. For example, this time, it only cost a few hundred thousand, so I could give them money. But once this is done, what if someone comes to ask for help next time? Should I also give them money?”
Lisa and the others blinked. “Okay, I don’t quite understand, but I can understand a little bit. I’ll listen to you!”
Liu Tingting had bright eyes behind her. The boss was so handsome! She also wanted to be a good person like the boss.
The principal also watched Yun Yi grow up. He didn’t want Yun Yi to give up such a good opportunity. He quickly took out his cell phone, ran to a hill, and called Yun Yi’s head teacher. He then contacted Yun Yi, and informed Yun Yi of this matter.
“Yun Yi, this is a good opportunity. I checked and the Yuansu Charity Fund is a very formal foundation. The chairman of the board is also very good. She promised to donate school buildings and books to us, along with a library and computers. Although the conditions she put forward are a bit harsh, it would be a pity if you gave up this opportunity,” the principal persuaded earnestly.
Yun Yi listened carefully. “Principal, are you telling the truth? The other party really promised to help me pay off my debts and help me go to school, on the condition that I go to work with them after graduation, and that I will not be allowed to resign until ten years after?”
“Not only that, but also requires you to be admitted to the university they want and study the major they want. This is a bit too harsh.” The principal knew that Yun Yi was a child whose strength lay in liberal arts. Yun Yi could write a good composition and has participated in junior high school competitions. She even won first place. If she wanted to accept their help, she would have to take the major they wanted, which is a bit harsh.
“I accept! Principal, I accept!” Yun Yi said without hesitation. “Principal, where are they now?”
“They should have gone back to town. Don’t worry. I’ll give you their contact number. You should contact them before they leave.”
After the principal finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and gave the number to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi hung up the phone and dialled the phone number without hesitation. “Hello, I’m Yun Yi!”
Li Su received a call from Liu Tingting. She went downstairs and saw the weak figure.
Yun Yi was accompanied by the head teacher Qin. The head teacher, as her representative, talked with Wang Wenying. The head teacher made a careful request and wanted to see the relevant documents to make sure the contents were as proposed.
Li Su came over and said, “You are Yun Yi?” She was indeed the female lead. She wasn’t only pretty. If she just stood there and did nothing, the first thing everyone would see would be her.
Li Su remembered that what attracted the male lead and Lin Jihao to her was not her appearance, but her character. How should Li Su put it? Yun Yi was not a traditional Mary Sue female lead. She was strong, independent, gentle, and calm. Her unique personal charm was the reason why the male lead and all the male supporting characters admired her.
Yun Yi and Teacher Qin looked up. Liu Tingting quickly introduced everyone. “This is Chairman Li of our foundation. Chairman, this is Yun Yi and this is her class teacher.”
Teacher Qin was a little embarrassed. “Hello!” Li Su was such a young and beautiful chairman and had a good background. Obviously her appearance and clothes were out of place in this ordinary guest house, but she looked happy and content.
Li Su sat down on the sofa with a smile. “Please take a seat. How did your conversation go?”
Wang Wenying said a few words in her ear, and Li Su smiled. “You should be careful. Teacher Qin is a good teacher.”
Teacher Qin was a little ashamed, then looked at Yun Yi. “Yun Yi, I’ve taken a look and I don’t see any problems. As long as you have thought about it, you can sign it.”
Yun Yi nodded. She took the pen without hesitation, signed her name, and stamped her handprint.
Wang Wenying looked at the contract. After he confirmed it was correct, he nodded. “Young lady Yun, come with me. I’ll have someone give you the money. Do you have a bank account? Tell me. We will pay you monthly in the future, tuition and living expenses are all included. If you need extra money to spend, just say so. As long as it is a reasonable cost, we will give it to you.”
Yun Yi nodded. “Thank you. But… Can you send someone with me? It is a lot of money and I’m afraid…”
“That’s fine.” Wang Wenying escorted Yun Yi.
Teacher Qin had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow when he saw this. He was happy that Yun Yi could continue to study and no longer had to worry about money, but he was worried about the price Yun Yi paid for this. She had to give up her dreams and freedom.
Li Su could understand Teacher Qin’s thoughts, but she didn’t care. The world was like this. One had to pay a certain price for what one wanted. Everyone was like that. It was nothing to worry about.
“Teacher Qin, I wanted to ask if there were any other students like Yun Yi?” Li Su asked.
Teacher Qin’s eyes lit up. “Yes! There are many more.”
“Go back and ask them if they would be interested in the contract I signed with Yun Yi. It will be the same for them. We will, of course, choose schools and majors based on each person’s academic performance,” Li Su said with a smile.
Teacher Qin gritted his teeth. For these poor children, going to school was the only way out. Compared with this, their dreams and freedom may not be as important. “Okay, I’ll tell them when I return. How long will you stay here?”
“You have our contact information. When the time comes, you can ask Yun Yi! Determine the list of children and then contact us. We will send someone to check the situation. When it comes to that, it would be best to prepare their academic records and so forth,” Li Su smiled and said.
Teacher Qin rubbed his hands excitedly. “Thank you so much! Really! I thank you on behalf of those students! You are their hope!”
Li Su smiled. “I’m not that great either. I hope everyone has the opportunity to learn, but I also want to recruit more talents for our company and foundation.”
Teacher Qin wiped away his tears. “You still gave them a chance.”
When Yun Yi left, Li Su handed her a cell phone. “This is the cell phone I used before. It has a calling card in it and it contains the contact information of me and the rest of the Foundation. I also downloaded WeChat for you, okay? Study hard. I hope to see you soon at Feiteng International or Yuansu Charity Foundation.”
Yun Yi looked at the brand new cell phone and did not dare to take it. Li Su looked at her and said, “This is an investment. You will have to pay me back in the future. Take it. I need to know your study situation from time to time.”
Liu Tingting patted Yun Yi on the shoulder. “Little sister, take it.” This is the phone that the chairman found from somewhere in her car. She didn’t know when it was left there. Although it was a model from two years ago, it was still new.
Yun Yi thought for a while, then reached out to take the phone. “I will work hard. I won’t let you down.” After speaking, Yun Yi bowed to Li Su.
Li Su smiled proudly.
After returning, Li Su was always in a very good mood. Li Su invited Lin Jihao to have a meal together. At the dinner table, Li Su said cheerfully, “I have gained a lot from this charity trip.”
Lin Jihao knew about Li Su’s sponsorship of students and the content of the agreement. He had no opinion so long as the stepmother was happy.
“Well, this is her. I took a secret photo. What do you think? Although she’s not very beautiful… How can I put it? She’s very eye-catching. You will notice her in the crowd. Her name is also nice. She’s called Yun Yi. She’s a very good child. There is an entire wall covered in her certificates of merit. She is the first in the grade every year.” Li Su suddenly approached Lin Jihao, picked up her phone, and brought up Yun Yi’s photo to introduce her.
Lin Jihao raised his head and glanced at the picture. She was very ordinary. Nothing special. He didn’t see anything outstanding.
Li Su was still chattering. “She’s studying very hard, but she reports to me about her studies every day. Now, here are her exam papers for various subjects. Look at her level. I want to send her some extra materials.”
Lin Jihao didn’t expect his stepmother to be so enthusiastic. He was a little curious. Who the hell was this girl? He then took the phone and looked at the picture seriously. After a while, he nodded. “Not bad. For her to be able to learn at this level in such backward conditions… There is no need to buy the material. I still have a lot of information here so I will sort it out for you later.”
Li Su rolled her eyes and said, “Send her some of your previous study materials too, including the books you’ve read, the papers you’ve done, your notes, and whatnot. It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if you wrote it. Just to let her see the gap between you and her.”
Lin Jihao always felt that his stepmother was thinking of something, but he couldn’t figure it out. It was just some data, so it should be nothing.
If Li Su knew what Lin Jihao was thinking, she would definitely scold him for not knowing what to do. Who was she doing this for? Wasn’t it for him to get in touch with the female lead earlier and get to know her more so that he could embrace the beauty earlier?
In Y Town at the number 1 middle school, Yun Yi received another big box. She was a little happy. Auntie Li Su said that she had sent her a lot of study and tutoring materials, some of which were used by her son and should be of some use to her.
Yun Yi asked again if these materials could be used by other students. Auntie Li Su said that there was no problem, but it was best not to give the contents in the blue package to others. They were used by her son, and if they were given to others rashly, her son would be unhappy. She could copy it and lend it to others.
