Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 67: 67. Entrepreneurial Ideas

Granny Li was old and shrewd, so how could she not see Ye Fei's doubts? Thinking about it, she was indeed like someone who tried to curry favor with someone after hearing about his identity.

She hurriedly explained with a smile: "You misunderstood. I am not polite to you just because you are the relative of a high-ranking official. But Mayor Liu is different. She is the best mayor I have ever seen in my life. If it weren't for her, we would have been in more trouble."

Ye Fei subconsciously looked around and asked, "But how could she let you live in such a place?" The furnishings in this room were too old."

"The only electrical appliance, apart from the small electric lights, was a black and white TV from the 1980s that could perhaps only be seen in antique shops. I guess this was because this was Grandma Li's room. I really didn't know what entertainment the children here usually had."

Granny Li sighed, "Although Mayor Liu has the final say here, she can't represent the entire government after all. If she only treats us specially, it would be unreasonable. There are too many places like ours around Wanghai, and she can't manage them all.

She also suggested that we all go to a public orphanage, but the children here are already accustomed to this place, and I don't want to leave, so we have stayed here."

Ye Fei nodded, feeling a little ashamed. He had just been blaming his aunt in his heart, but he didn't expect that she had already paid attention to this place. This misunderstanding made him feel a little apologetic, but now was not the time to think about this. Since he was already here, he should do something for them.

He was just helping out in a personal way and would not make it difficult for his aunt.

Thinking of this, Ye Fei was about to ask Granny Li something else, but he found that she seemed to be having a hard time sitting there. He also remembered that Zimao had asked her why she got up before, and it seemed that she was not feeling well, so he changed the topic and asked, "Granny Li, are you feeling unwell?"

Granny Li smiled and said, "It's nothing, just an old problem. I'll be fine after a rest."

Ye Fei could also see that Granny Li didn't have any serious problems. She was just a little weak due to her old age and long-term malnutrition. He hurriedly said, "Then you should go and have a rest. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get tired."

"Okay, I'll go into the inner room to rest first. If you have any questions, just ask Maomao. He knows everything here very well." Granny Li did not refuse.

In her eyes, Ye Fei and the others were the same children as Zimao, whom she had seen grow up. As for children, she loved them very much, otherwise she would not have set up such an orphanage that made her worry so much at this age.

Looking at the somewhat hunched figure of Granny Li walking inside, Ye Fei's heart was filled with admiration. What a great old woman she was, who gave everything she had to these helpless children.

Even if it was not for anything else, just for this great old woman, Ye Fei decided to do his best to help this orphanage, and he also had a preliminary idea in his mind now.

After the Granny Li closed the door, Ye Fei asked Zimao, "Why don't I see other people? Don't you have more than a hundred people here?"

Zimao said, "Some of the ones who are about my age have gone to school and will not be back at noon. The younger brothers and sisters have followed Sister Xue'er to help in the nearby factory."

"Helper in factory?" Ye Fei frowned: "Do all the factories here employ child laborers?"

Although this is considered a way for the children here to make a living, Ye Fei, who has been influenced by Liu Fengyi since childhood, is somewhat disgusted with factories that employ child laborers.

Zimao smiled and said, "It's not considered child labor. We just help with some odd jobs there. We don't ask for wages. We can just bring back some waste they don't want and sell it to the recycling station. This is also our main source of income."

"Before going to high school, everyone will do these things to collect tuition for older children so that they can go to school with peace of mind. Granny Li has always hoped that we can all have a promising future and help more children after graduating from college."

At this point, a gleam of resentment flashed in his eyes: "But over the years, although we have produced many talented students here, only Sister Xue'er is willing to come back after graduation. The others who are better will send some money home, but most of them have no news at all."

Zimao's words made Ye Fei respect Granny Li even more. After experiencing so many things that were close to betrayal, she was still able to adopt these orphans as always. Her spirit was so strong.

Besides Granny Li, there was another person who made Ye Fei sigh. That was Sister Xue'er, whom Zimao had mentioned more than once. From what Zimao said, she not only returned to this place after graduation, but also intended to replace Granny Li.

It was extremely difficult to meet such a good person at ordinary times. Unexpectedly, there were two of them in this shabby orphanage. Ye Fei suddenly wanted to meet this Sister Xue'er, so he asked, "What kind of person is the Sister Xue'er you mentioned?"

"Sister Xue'er is the person we are most grateful to besides grandma." Speaking of Sister Xue'er, Zimao showed an admiring look on his face. "She is also the most outstanding person here in all these years. She entered Wanghai University with the first place in the province, and her performance during her time in school was also outstanding."

"Because she studied economics and management, many companies approached her before she graduated. However, after graduation, she did not go anywhere, but returned here to help grandma take care of us children and teach us to read and write. We learned all the knowledge before high school from her. Since she came back, the children here don't have to go to elementary school and junior high school."

"After Mayor Liu knew about this, she also allowed us not to have academic qualifications. When we reach the age, we can directly take the high school entrance examination and enter. Otherwise, we would not be able to have many of us studying till highschool. This makes our studying here much more easier..."

Zimao admired Sister Xueer so much that he could not stop talking about her. However, Ye Fei only listened to a short part and ignored what Zimao said afterwards.

What he heard was that Sister Xueer was a top student in business management, and from the fact that those companies tried to hired her in advance, it could be seen that she was not the kind of nerd who could only talk big on paper. So, wouldn't the most important and difficult part of his plan be solved with her?

Ye Fei originally just wanted to come here to take a look, and then go back to think about how to solve their problems, but now he doesn't want to leave. He can't wait to meet Sister Xueer.
