C96 So You also Have a Heart
"Chief Editor Xia, you flatter me. Actually, I am also a citizen of the city and have worked in the city for a period of time. I have seen too much of hypocrisy and deception. I feel that life is boring and meaningless. One day. . . I carried my bag and walked here, and I saw these children. . . Although they are poor, they have never given up on pursuing their dreams. So, I stayed. Actually, it was these children who changed me. . . I should say, I was very lucky to have met them. "
Xia Dong was very touched. She decided to make an interview for Ning Feng so that more people would pay attention to his deeds.
Ning Feng smiled embarrassedly, "Chief Editor Xia, the children have already prepared the piece of art you mentioned. Look. Should we go and take a look now? "
"Sure, please lead the way. "
Ning Feng brought them to the small courtyard behind the school. When they saw the things in the courtyard, the three of them were immediately shocked.
In the courtyard, twelve animals were neatly arranged. They were the size of real animals. The smallest ones were rats, and the largest ones were cows. These animals were arranged according to the order of the twelve zodiacs, and they stood in the narrow courtyard lifelike.
Ning Feng introduced, "These are the twelve zodiacs, and they are all woven from willow branches. The willow branches were picked by the children by the river. These animals were also personally woven by them. "
Ding Hao frantically pressed on the shutter while clicking his tongue and praising, "This is too inconceivable. Chief Editor, look at this cow. It's as if it's alive. These children are still so young, how can they have such good craftsmanship?"
A proud smile appeared on Ning Feng's face. "Because the people who live in this land have relied on weaving skills for generations to live. The children have also started learning this skill since they were young. "
Xia Dong was shocked and moved, "It must not be easy to weave twelve zodiacs in three days. "
Ning Feng said, "The children said that we must not embarrass the school and our hometown. Even if we don't eat or sleep, we must complete the task. "
Xia Dong's eyes flashed with tears as she said firmly, "Teacher Ning, don't worry. We will definitely complete this interview and let more people see the current situation of Yutang Primary School. We will let the school obtain the help of society and let the children focus on their studies!"
"Chief Editor Xia, with your words, we can be at ease. You are our Yutang Primary School's great benefactor!" Ning Feng's eyes were red as he bowed to Xia Dong.
Xia Dong hurriedly supported him. "Teacher Ning. You're killing me right now and we still want to interview a few kids, please make the arrangements. "
The two children who were interviewed had the best academic results but were from the poorest family. They specially changed into clean clothes, washed their faces, combed their hair, and faced the camera. They sat stiffly and did not dare to move. Outside the window, a group of children were lying on the ground and watching. They looked curiously, but no one spoke.
"Don't be nervous," Xia Dong comforted them. She wanted them to relax, but she did not expect them to be even more nervous.
She changed her way of doing things and said with a smile, "I also have two children. They are not even five years old this year and just went to kindergarten. Two days ago, their teacher taught them a child song. I will sing it for you guys. . . "
Beitang Shen's deep gaze fell on her. He did not know what she wanted to do. Ding Hao's face was bitter and he wanted to cover his ears. Unfortunately, he did not have a third or fourth hand.
"Under the banyan tree by the pond, it is called summer. . . " Her voice was soft and clear, singing Childhood that everyone was familiar with.
Ding Hao widened his eyes. It was different from the wailing and wailing of the KTV. The chief editor sang beautifully and the tone was very good.
Xia Dong sang very enthralled, as if she was deeply immersed in it. Just as everyone was moved by her, she suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "Is there anyone who knows how to sing? Can you sing with me?"
This song, Ning Feng had taught the children before, so they all knew how to sing it. They could not help but sing along with her. The two children who were interviewed also began to sing along.
After the song was sung, the children all revealed smiles. Their nervousness also dissipated. Ding Hao gave Xia Dong a thumbs up.
The information obtained from the interview made people tear up.
One of the two children was from a single family. He had lost his father since he was young. His mother sold herbs for him to live and study. He had to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads to go to school every day. He only wanted to go home and help his mother pick herbs after school.
The other child had three younger sisters at home. She was the oldest girl and her parents stopped her from studying at the beginning of the year. She knelt on the ground and begged for a day and night. Finally, her parents agreed to let her study. But school fees and living expenses had to be taken care of by themselves, because the family was so poor that they had no money to pay. Every weekend, she would go to town to pick up trash, beg on the streets, and earn tuition and living expenses.
Xia Dong could not control her emotions several times and choked her throat. Ning Feng was right. These children had strong souls. No matter how big of a disaster they faced, they were tenacious. She should also learn from them!
After the interview, Xia Dong's mood was very heavy. On the way back, she did not say a word.
People nowadays all felt that they were the most tragic one in the world. Actually, it was because they did not see anyone more miserable than themselves.
Xia Dong decided to change the fate of the children in Yutang Primary School.
In order to increase the influence of the magazine and allow more people to see the interview. Xia Dong specially greeted her friends in the circle and asked them to help promote it. She also got Baili Yun to convince the Queen Lin Weiwei to mention in the press conference, "I really like to see Charisma Magazines. I buy them every week ~" When the new issue of the magazine was released, it immediately caused a stir.
Many readers called with tears streaming down their faces. They asked about the situation at Yutang Primary School and even suggested donating to those children.
Xia Dong struck while the iron was hot and connected the relevant departments. In the entire society, she called for donations to Yutang Primary School.
The Charisma Magazine was the first to receive donations of 500,000 yuan. Xia Dong also donated 100,000 yuan in her personal name. Beitang Shen donated a million yuan in the name of the Botao Group.
Xia Dong took out Baili Han's cheque of 100,000 yuan and donated it in his personal name without hesitation.
This donation activity had a wide influence. Even the Shenghao Group's Finance Department had made the budget for this batch of donations.
Linda sent the budget of the Finance Department to Baili Han. Baili Han asked, "What is the meaning of this donation?"
During this period of time, the prince charming president was busy preparing for his wedding, so he did not pay attention to the public welfare industry.
Linda explained to him, "President, recently Charisma Magazine made an interview -"
Baili Han interrupted her, "Is it related to Charisma Magazine?"
"Yes. "
"Back off!"
"Ah?"
Baili Han's face darkened. "Refund this financial budget! In the future, our company will not participate in any activities related to Charisma Magazines!"
"Er. . . Yes. . . "
He did not want to be involved in anything related to that woman! Baili Han's face was cold and heartless.
After a while, He received a phone call. "Mr. Baili, I'm a staff member of the 'public welfare fund'. Thank you very much for your personal donation to Yutang Primary School!"
Baili Han frowned. "I think you're mistaken. I've never donated anything. "
"It can't be wrong. We received your 100,000 donation check today. Thank you very much for your support in the education industry. . . "
The staff member expressed his gratitude and respect to Baili Han endlessly, but Baili Han frowned more and more. One hundred thousand? A cheque? Could it be that. . . This cheque was the one that he asked the woman to handle on her own?
Yutang Primary School's donation, what a mess!
Baili Han said "I'm very busy" and interrupted the staff member's words, then hung up the phone.
He hated things that couldn't be controlled! Hence, he opened the website and logged into the Charisma Magazine's official website. He finally understood what the donation was.
Originally, he entered the official website with the mentality of going against the government, but after reading the interview at Yutang Primary School and reading the shocking photos and words, he was silent. He called Linda in through the internal phone. "The budget for the donation sent by the Finance Department just now, I have approved it. Inform the Finance Department to add another million yuan. "
Linda's eyes lit up, "Okay, CEO!"
Baili Han leaned back on the chair and his gaze fell on those pictures and his mood was somewhat complicated. Xia Dong had mixed feelings. You are a woman full of lies. So you also have a heart?
In just a short week, the magazine had gathered five million.
When Ning Feng heard the news, he was so excited that tears of gratitude flowed down his face. Considering the arrival of the rainy season, the school's house was too simple and crude, so the local government planned to use the money to build a three-story building for emergencies.
Beitang Shen said that the Turtle Corporation would build the building for the school for free in the shortest time possible.
The local government and villagers were naturally grateful.
On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, the local government invited Beitang Shen, Xia Dong, and a dozen other people who were very famous for their donation activities. Unfortunately, there were some problems with the Mitsui Team, and Beitang Shen had to rush back to handle it, so he missed the groundbreaking ceremony.0
Beitang Shen left in a hurry. He left the night before the groundbreaking ceremony. Before he left, he arranged for Jiang Dao to stay and protect Xia Dong.
Jiang Dao was Beitang Shen's assistant in name. Since Beitang Shen was not around, he could participate in the laying of the foundation ceremony on behalf of him and Xia Dong.
Many influential people came to the groundbreaking ceremony. The mayor and the secretary of the municipal committee also appeared. Both of them held Xia Dong's hands to express their gratitude. Of course, Xia Dong did not dare to claim credit. She pushed all the credit to Teacher Ning Feng and the kind person who donated money.
Because of this interview, Xia Dong could be considered to be a little famous. Those companies' bosses politely came to greet her. She responded with a smile. She was generous and straightforward, and she had the temperament of a strong woman.
She did not know that Baili Han had seen all of her actions.
Baili Han did not like to appear in public. He also expected Xia Dong to also participate, so when he received the invitation, he originally planned to reject it, but Madame Baili did not see it that way. She insisted on him accepting it, saying that doing charity was a good thing, and just treat it as accumulating good fortune for Yi.
It was only when the organizers arranged the ribbon cutting that Xia Dong found out that Baili Han had also come.
Baili Han stood beside her, holding a pair of scissors in his hand. He focused his attention on cutting the red satin. He didn't even look at her from the moment he got on stage to the moment he got off the stage.
After the groundbreaking ceremony ended, everyone drove away.
Xia Dong was not in a hurry to leave. She told Jiang Dao and Lilith a few things and took out large and small bags from the trunk of the car. She went to the classroom to look at the children.
