“I can’t remember the name, but I remember that the kind person who helped us was called Li Su. My granddaughter called her Auntie Li Su,” Grandma Yun said honestly.
“That’s the one. I watched the live broadcast of their foundation. They have built several primary schools in poor mountainous areas. It turns out that your granddaughter is a poor student sponsored by them!” the young girl said excitedly.
“Now that you mention it, I also recall her. The chairman of their foundation seems to be the mother of President Lin of Feiteng International! That’s one of the top ten richest people on the Forbes list. Really rich!” The old man who just said he wanted to ask for help spoke again. “Tomorrow I will ask my son to go to the foundation to ask for help.”
Grandma Yun knew that she said the wrong thing. She was scared and was about to cry. “It’s not like that. It’s not like that.”
The young girl couldn’t stand it any longer and sneered: “Che, although the Yuansu Foundation is a charity, do you think that everyone is a fool? Before building schools in impoverished mountainous areas, their people will conduct field inspections. The same is true for subsidizing poor students. Do you think people will donate to you just because you say you need help? You really think that money just drops from the sky?! Besides, old man, your son wears Armani and drives an Audi A6. Do you still need donations? Don’t waste the kindness of others, okay?”
The old man glared at the young girl angrily. “It’s none of your business!”
The young girl’s grandmother was not happy. “Why are you raising your voice at my granddaughter?! What she said was not a lie. Look at you! What is wrong with you? You have been in the hospital for more than a month, so aren’t you wasting medical resources? You are morally corrupt! Society has become what it is now because there are too many shameless people like you.”
The old man was not convinced and replied, but the other people in the ward didn’t agree with him, and they all blamed the old man. The old man couldn’t retort, so he covered his head with the quilt angrily and pretended to be asleep to hide.
Grandma Yun was very depressed and kept her head down and wiped away tears. The nurse beside her persuaded her. The young girl thought about it and walked over. “Grandma, don’t be sad. It’s alright.”
“Girl, am I causing trouble for the Foundation?” Grandma Yun grabbed the young girl’s hand and asked.
The young girl looked at the black color that could not be washed away from Grandma Yun’s fingers, and was a little disgusted, but she held back. “It’s okay. They do charity work. I have seen many people like this and there are ways to deal with them. Don’t take it to heart.”
The grandmother of the young girl saw her next to her and smiled. She was her granddaughter who said everything was fine. Her granddaughter didn’t know much about the world, but that was okay. It was the same with all the young people of today.
Her granddaughter was still very good!
“Yes, older sister, don’t worry about it. It’s fine. If you’re really worried, your granddaughter and the young girl will come later. You can just say no to her.”
The rest of the people comforted Grandma Yun, and Grandma Yun was relieved. She felt that this was the fault of her being too talkative. After that, she refused to speak any more and listened to others most of the time. She couldn’t help but want to talk, so she pinched herself.
When the others saw her, they only thought she was pitiful and respectable. They hurriedly diverted the topic to other innocuous things. They discussed short stories about parents and social news. It was only then that Grandma Yun dared to speak.
Over there, Liu Tingting took Yun Yi to Feiteng International. She just contacted the boss, and the boss said that they could enter Feiteng International.
Yun Yi waited downstairs in Feiteng Building. She looked at the towering building in front of her. She was very surprised. “Is this whole building Feiteng International?”
“Of course it is. But it is not all office areas. There are some companies inside and some of it is hotel. Feiteng Building was designed by Feiteng International. It is a landmark building in the city. It has seven underground floors and has parking lots and bars. There are seventy floors above the ground. The first and second floors are the lobby, and the third to fiftieth floors are mainly office areas and leisure areas. The fifty-first to fifty-fifth floors are mainly gyms, cinemas, swimming pools and other leisure and fitness places. Employees of Feiteng International can enter with their cards. The fifty-fifth floor and above is the hotel, and the seventieth floor is the sightseeing hall,” Liu Tingting introduced. Yuansu Charity Fund was also affiliated to Feiteng International. Strictly speaking, she was also a member of Feiteng International and she was very proud.
Yun Yi was very excited. Liu Tingting took her directly into the elevator and went to the 50th floor. “The chairman’s office is on the fiftieth floor. Older sister Li also has an office here, but older sister Li usually doesn’t stay in the company. Let’s go find older sister Li first. I’ll show you around later.”
Yun Yi nodded and followed closely behind Liu Tingting.
The elevator door opened, and a woman in a white business suit stood at the door with a smile. “Hello, I’m Wang Zhiye. The chairman asked me to pick you up. Come with me!”
Liu Tingting was very excited to see her, and whispered to Yun Yi, “She may be young, but she graduated from Columbia University’s Business School with a master’s degree and is studying for a doctorate. She was hired as the assistant to the chairman and is trusted by the chairman. She is who many of us are aiming to be like!”
Yun Yi felt that Wang Zhiye also had an indescribable temperament. That kind of temperament was something she had never seen before. It was very attractive. She wanted to be like that too, so she would try.
When she entered the chairman’s office, Yun Yi’s first impression was that it was very big, bigger than her classroom. When she entered the door, she saw a mahogany cabinet full of books.
Yun Yi liked to read books, and seeing these books made her happy. But she had heard people say before that many rich people put a lot of books in the office in order to show off, but they were all fake. She didn’t know if the books here were real or not.
Li Su was talking to Lin Jihao, and when she saw them coming, she smiled and said to Wang Zhiye, “Thank you Secretary Wang. I brought you a set of skin care products and put them on your desk. Let me know if you like them!”
Wang Zhiye also smiled. “Thank you, older sister Li.” She knew that Li Su preferred the more intimate title of older sister Li than Madam Lin.
Liu Tingting pouted involuntarily.
Li Su glanced at her. “You will have your share. The employees of the foundation have received it. It’s a Valentine’s Day gift and will be sent to you the day before Valentine’s Day.”
Liu Tingting cheered a little. “Thank you, older sister Li! Older sister Li is the best!”
Li Su gave her a look and then glanced at Yun Yi. “Yiyi, have things been arranged for your grandmother?”
Yun Yi reluctantly retracted her gaze from the bookshelves. She had just seen several books in the bookcase that she had been thinking about for a long time, and she really wanted to borrow them.
“Thank you, Auntie Li. Grandma has been hospitalized.”
“Come and sit here. Tingting has already told you about it, right? Let me hear what you think.” Li Su pulled Yun Yi to sit down.
This approachable aura was something even Lin Jihao had never seen before, let alone Liu Tingting.
Lin Jihao couldn’t help but look at Yun Yi carefully. He wanted to see what was so good about her that made her worth his stepmother’s concern.
Yun Yi also felt that Li Su was going too far when she saw how Li Su was treating her. Everything auntie did for her was good and created a better living and learning environment for her. She was so forward-looking! How could Yun Yi be worthy of auntie’s hard work?!
Yun Yi was not a sloppy person. She immediately stood up and bowed to Li Su seriously. “Thank you, auntie! I will! I will definitely study hard, and I won’t let auntie down!”
Li Su said with a smile, “Okay, okay! There’s no need to be so serious. I know. You don’t need to worry about leaving your grandma alone. I read your grandma’s medical report, and there are a lot of problems with her body which need to be taken care of. In your hometown, the medical environment was not as good as here, so that’s why I arranged it like this. Don’t worry, I will send people often to look after your grandmother. As for you, study with peace of mind and prepare well for the exam. After the high school entrance examination, I will let someone pick you up. But it will take a few months.”
Yun Yi nodded. “I know! Auntie, don’t worry!”
Li Su touched Yun Yi’s hand and said, “Study is important, but so is your body. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Don’t hoard your living expenses in the future. I know that there are many people in this world who need help. When you have the ability, you can go help others. Until then, taking care of yourself is the most important thing.”
Yun Yi was a little ashamed. Most of the living expenses her aunt gave her were kept for her grandmother to buy medicine, and the rest was distributed to other students in the class who needed help, and she only kept a small part. Anyway, she came here like this before, it’s okay.
It was just that, now that auntie said so, she always felt that she had failed auntie.
“Auntie, I’m sorry. I know that I was wrong.”
“I don’t mean to blame you. It’s a good thing that you can help others without forgetting your original intent. It’s just that I hope you can help others while taking good care of yourself. Didn’t the ancients say that if you are poor, you will only think of yourself, but if you are successful, you will help the world! “Li Su said.
Lin Jihao couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Who would believe her?! How come she never cared so much about her stepson?
When Li Su saw Lin Jihao like this, she couldn’t help but say, “Look at you! You don’t look like a chairman! Watch your image! Do you understand that you have an image to maintain?” Damn, who am I doing this all for? You still dare to make this kind of look!
When Yun Yi heard Li Su’s words, she looked up just in time to see Lin Jihao roll his eyes. She couldn’t help but laugh, but then realised that it wasn’t good to laugh. She was afraid that Lin Jihao would be angry, so she covered her mouth and looked at Lin Jihao with big eyes .
Lin Jihao looked at those clear eyes that were like mountain springs and changed his posture, feeling uncomfortable. He tapped his fingers on the table. “Is there anything you don’t understand about your studies recently?”
Yun Yi looked at Li Su and saw a smile on Li Su’s face. She quickly put down her hands and took out her cell phone from her backpack. “I took some pictures. I don’t understand a few questions.”
“Why are you so far away? Come here!” Lin Jihao frowned when he saw her standing over the table.
Li Su gave Yun Yi an encouraging look and Yun Yi walked around the table. She walked to Lin Jihao’s side and showed Lin Jihao her phone.
Over the next while, Li Su and Liu Tingting were chatting about gossip on Weibo while Lin Jihao and Yun Yi were talking about topics. Both groups had their own version of fun.
When Secretary Wang knocked on the door and came in, she saw this strange but harmonious scene. She was stunned for a while and then said, “Chairman, older sister Li, it’s time for lunch. Do you want to go to the dining hall or…?”
Lin Jihao was instructing Yun Yi and found that Yun Yi was smarter than he thought. She was such a smart student, and he felt comfortable teaching her. It seemed that the difficulty of the questions could be increased appropriately in the future.
“Mum, you call the shots!” Lin Jihao said without raising his head. He found that he called her mother more easily now.
