C374 – The Two Women Would Compete!
“Pay for it? Is there such a good thing in this world?” Wan Tao was curious about Zhang Xiaolong’s strange request, “Tell me, I’m afraid that this money isn’t that easy to spend, right?”
“It’s hard to say, but it’s easy to say. I bought the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant from Old Master Yang De. Old Master Yang intends to donate half of the money, and he said that he will find a way to do so. I will be back to school soon, and I don’t have time to do these things, so I can only use your men. You can decide what you want to do, but the key is to use it to do good deeds.” Zhang Xiaolong decided.
“So that’s how it is. Then, is there any promise that you will do some kind of good deed?” Wan Tao asked.
“No, and Old Master Yang doesn’t want anyone to know about it. In other words, this money is only related to him, and you will be in charge of it. As long as it is used to do good deeds, then it will be considered as a good deed. What do you think?” Zhang Xiaolong asked.
Wan Tao was slightly puzzled when he heard this, “If I use the name of Clear River Film and Television to donate, will there be any problems?”
“Of course, it won’t be a problem even if you use your own name to donate,” Zhang Xiaolong said confidently, “We are looking at the results. As long as the deed is done to help the right person, you can decide what to do with it. If it is harmless and beneficial to the career, then there will naturally be no problems.”
“If that’s the case,” Wan Tao rubbed his hands, “then this is a good opportunity. We can use this opportunity to promote Clear River Film and Television. Of course, we can also promote Clear River Village along the way. It’s just that we still need to think about what project we choose. Although we also need to use this opportunity to promote ourselves, we can’t just pretend. That would not be in line with Xiaolong’s style and would also disappoint Old Master Yang’s expectations.”
“Can I say something?” Chu Wenwen suddenly interrupted.
“Of course you can. Wenwen, what do you have to say?” Wan Tao asked.
Chu Wenwen thought for a while and said, “Xiaolong often says that he is a farmer. Even if he has other identities, he cannot forget this fundamental fact. Actually, in every big city, there are a lot of farmers. They do dangerous and hard work, but their income might not be guaranteed. What makes people heartache is that their children are in a foreign land, and it is more difficult for them to go to school and receive education than others. Many locals are hostile to the children of these people, thinking that these wild children will ruin the school’s order and bring bad influence to their children. I heard it with my own ears. That is why I feel that the education of the migrant workers’ children in the big cities is a big problem. If we establish such a school and give these children a good education, so that the migrant workers don’t have to worry about their children, and let them see the bright future of their children, I think that this should be the greatest wish of the migrant workers!”
“That’s a great idea!” Zhang Xiaolong clapped his hands, “I am ashamed of myself. I am a farmer, and I never thought of this. That’s right, farmers are not just people who are still farming in the fields. Many of them have come to the city to work and become migrant workers. Many of them have participated in the construction of a city, but they don’t have a place to stand in that city. They can’t even guarantee the education of their children. Compared to the poverty of Clear River Village, it is even worse. That’s right, this is a good idea. We should build a school for the farmers!”
Wan Tao couldn’t help but nod in praise after hearing the two people’s words, “This idea is indeed good. Supporting education is a good deed in the current era, and it will benefit us in the future. This is not only a good deed, but also a great deed!”
“Then it’s settled. Since we have such a good idea, we can’t just let Old Master Yang pay for it alone. We won’t be able to feel at ease if we just take the benefits for nothing. How about this, I will double the amount of money and make this matter better. Although we can’t care about the entire country, we can do as much as we can.” Zhang Xiaolong’s eyes turned around, “Also, this is not a one-time deal. In the future, I will take out a sum of money every year to expand this kind of school.”
“Also, Xiaolong, aren’t you promoting China’s culture and etiquette? The school is also a good place to pass down knowledge. By letting all the students come into contact with China’s virtues from the very beginning of their education, they will be able to understand gratitude, dedication, and self-improvement. This is more precious than giving them a lot of relief money!” Chu Wenwen said.
“Haha, Wenwen, you really are my confidante. I also thought of this just now!” Zhang Xiaolong clapped his hands and laughed.
Chu Wenwen’s face blushed slightly, while Wan Tao looked towards Luh Xiaoya.
He was also an experienced person. He had long noticed that this Manager Luh had an indescribable feeling towards Zhang Xiaolong. However, Chu Wenwen had stolen all the limelight, causing him to feel a little disappointed.
It was no wonder. Chu Wenwen was born with a fairy-like temperament, and with her intelligence, even if she only spoke a few sentences, she would easily become the center of attention. Furthermore, this girl seemed to be very enthusiastic about this matter.
“Manager Luh, do you have any suggestions?” Wan Tao could tell that Luh Xiaoya was anxious, so he deliberately diverted the topic.
“I…” Luh Xiaoya stuttered for a moment, but she was also a smart person. She immediately replied, “I think it’s not just primary school. The most pitiful children are the kindergarteners. Compared to primary school, kindergartens are the most worrying problem for migrant workers. Also, not only migrant workers in the city, but since we are donating to the school, there are many poor mountain and rural areas that need help. Compared to migrant workers, they, who have been living in the mountains for generations, need to broaden their horizons. Although they are poor, they can’t be poor. Only in this way, can they be better than their previous generations.”
“Well said!” Zhang Xiaolong praised her. “It seems that I have underestimated you all before. Each of you has a higher vision than ordinary people, and you are also more meticulous. You are all heroines. What we need to do is to consider everything. Although we have limited money, with this kind of heart, I believe that there will be more people who will follow us and continue this business. One year later, ten years later, one hundred years later, as long as we persevere, we will definitely have a great harvest!”
Luh Xiaoya thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Xiaolong, let’s not talk about the compulsory education school. Are the kindergartens going to be free?”
Zhang Xiaolong realized what she was trying to say, so he deliberately pondered for a moment and asked, “What do you mean?”
“According to what I said, we can reduce the fees. We can adjust the fees according to the local income level and adjust the fees to the lowest. At the very least, we can earn enough money to pay for the teachers and other soft and hardware costs. This way, everyone will be able to accept it and won’t have to bear too much of a burden. Otherwise, the expenses of every kindergarten and elementary school will probably take a few years. Not only will the scale not expand, it will drag us down instead. This is not a healthy operating model.” Luh Xiaoya spoke with confidence, “Also, regardless of whether you are poor or rich, you should know one thing. If you want to repay something, you must pay. A pie falling from the sky will only make people greedy. Only by knowing how to pay and repay will you know the true meaning of gratitude and hard work!”
