Alright, alright. Lets not talk about this anymore. Li Chuhan said.

Go about your business.

Got it, Director Li.

The matter surrounding w.a.n.g Zeyi quickly died down. After that, the people in the department didnt pay much attention to it anymore.

They seemed to have accepted it.

What do you want to eat for lunch? Ill order it, Li Chuhan whispered when it was almost noon.

Lin Yi looked at his watch. I have something on in the afternoon, so I wont be eating in the department. I might not come in the afternoon.

Go ahead. Ill keep an eye on things.

Yeah.

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi changed his clothes and left. He drove to Lingyun Group to ask about the company.

In twenty minutes, well gather at the Zeexuan restaurant next to the company. The two of you can book a private room for us.

Lin Yi called He Yuanyuan after leaving the hospital.

No problem.

Ring!

Just as he hung up, Lin Yis phone rang again. It was Sugar.

Are you coming to school this afternoon?

How do you know that?

I heard from Princ.i.p.al Zhao, Sugar said. Im not feeling well this morning. Can you pick me up on your way there?

You have your own car.

My car was. .h.i.t. Its being repaired at the 4S store.

Alright, give me your address. Ill pick you up then.

Uh-huh, Sugar said. Do you have time now for a game?

Youll have to pay me to play.

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove to the Sichuan restaurant he often frequented.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the private room, he smelled the fragrance of chili.

There were seven or eight dishes on the table, and only one cold dish was vegetarian.

Qi Xianzhao sat obediently at the side while He Yuanyuan ate happily. She had no intention of waiting for Lin Yi.

Director Lin.

Qi Xianzhao stood up to greet Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded and looked at He Yuanyuan.

Im still the boss. Did you really start eating without me?

Its mainly because Im too hungry. President Lin is too much. How can you accuse me of such things? He Yuanyuan licked her lips and said.

I wont argue with you about this, but there are only three of us. Can you really finish so many dishes?

I cant finish it. He Yuanyuan said.

Ill take the rest home with me so that I can have dinner. Itll be a waste not to enjoy some of the company funds. Im not as stupid as Brother Qi.

You dont take me seriously at all!

Dont say that. Youre still very important to me. Who else can pay me so handsomely?

In view of your performance today, shall I deduct a little more of your salary?

Dont. He Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks. Dont always threaten people with money. Dont you have any feelings for me?

Stop fooling around. Lets eat.

Lin Yi stopped joking around with He Yuanyuan and said as he ate,

Hows DiDi doing?

Its just an empty sh.e.l.l over there. The data center has been moved to our side, He Yuanyuan said.

However, the acquisition involved many personnel adjustments. President Cheng and President Tian are actively dealing with these matters. In another week at most, everything will be settled.

Alright, lets keep this matter under control. After Im done with Cisco, Ill start the related work.

Speaking of Cisco, I just remembered something, He Yuanyuan said.

Cisco is almost done with our three billion yuan order. A conservative estimate is that the goods will be delivered in another week.

Already?

They found many factories in the country to support them, so their rate of production naturally increased.

Not bad, not bad. Its time to put my plan to action.

Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan were both very curious about President Lins plan.

Something big must have happened.

Boss, is there anything else we can help you with? He Yuanyuan asked.

Although she always bickered with Lin Yi, she was always on his side.

Sing a song to liven things up. That way, I can eat more.

I wouldnt want that. You should eat less. After all, I get to bring the remainder back home.

Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan could not do much about Cisco.

At this point, Cisco was about to deliver the goods. The main partic.i.p.ant was in this matter still Longxin.

When he had time, he had to make a trip to Longxin and arrange the relevant tasks.

Having said that, after killing Cisco, the two of them would be busy.

Boss, do you want to hear about the foundation? He Yuanyuan was full from eating and drinking. She picked her teeth with a toothpick and looked like a female hooligan.

Tell me. I have nothing else to discuss anyway.

So far, weve sponsored 174 orphanages across the country. The total donation amount has reached 82 million. A few days ago, we held a meeting to study it and decided to slow down our expenditure in this area. Were also prepared to provide further a.s.sistance to the inst.i.tutions under us.

Go on.

Director Zhao, the person in charge of the foundation, submitted a report to Brother Qi. I think her a.n.a.lysis makes sense, He Yuanyuan said.

She said that the foundation is a bottomless pit and cant create any benefits for the company. She wants to restructure it so that itll benefit us.

Its not effective to just fund orphanages. If we want to invest in some key poor counties in the country, we should build a Hope Primary School or something. Its better to teach a man how to fish than to give him the fish directly.

Have you accepted this proposal?

Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan looked at each other and nodded.

We dont think its a big problem. Yuanyuan did a project calculation in the early stages. If she wants to build a Hope Primary School, the cost, from the administrative expenses in the early stages to the completion in the later stages, will amount to a total of about two million yuan. Its not a huge sum. With the current scale of Lingyun Group, we can still afford it.

Is this just the cost of building an elementary school?

Yes, but if you want to do a Nongkuo Junior High School, about 500,000 yuan will be enough. Moreover, you can entrust the projects to Chaoyang Group. This can be considered as keeping the goodies to yourself.

Thats fine, its not much anyway, Lin Yi said, Do you have a specific target now?

In Director Zhaos report, she gave us two choices. Beiqiao Town and Furong Town are both poor towns in Yangcheng. Its not convenient to travel out, and there are many children left behind. Educational resources are very limited, so theyre very suitable to use as a test group.

Beiqiao Town?

Lin Yi mumbled. Wasnt this Li Chuhans hometown?

President Lin, do you know Beiqiao Town?

I know a little about them. I heard its a pretty poor place.

Theyre more than poor, He Yuanyuan said. Theres not much farmland in the town, and much of the land there is salted. When the heavens are in a bad mood, they cant even feed themselve.

He Yuanyuan changed her posture and continued, Ive checked the information about this place. Their annual GDP isnt as much as your annual income.

Um

Lets get down to business. Dont talk about my precious income. Isnt this a personal attack? Lin Yi said.

Besides, even if that was the case, it doesnt mean that their GDP is small.

I underestimated you.

Then lets do it this way. Lets set the location of the Hope School to be in Beiqiao Town. Lin Yi said.

But what about the teachers? If there are no teachers in the school, this will all be empty talk.

Weve thought about that too. Taishui City is about thirty kilometers away from Beiqiao Town. Its a small fourth-tier city. Although its a little small, its level of urbanization is not bad. We can conceptually teachers in this place and have them commute to and from work.

Just 30 kilometers?

Qi Xianzhao nodded and sighed.

Its just that the road conditions arent good. Even if its only 30 kilometers away, theres only a muddy dirt road, mountain road, and a suspension bridge connecting the two. Its very difficult to travel by car. This problem can only be overcome with high salaries.

If thats the case, the time spent on the road every day will exceed four hours. Even if we can offer them a high salary, we cant be sure if theyll be willing to come.

That is indeed a problem, the two of them said in silence.

Phew

Lin Yi took a deep breath. Its only thirty kilometers, how many childrens dreams have been ruined because of this?!
