The visit of Du Lin and Ophelia plunged the orphanage into a sea of joy. The children ran out of their rooms, surrounded the two people, and chattered many things that they found interesting.
Being willing to share their happiness with the people they like is what the children here look forward to most. They like Ophelia. As for Dulin, for the sake of sister Ophelia, he reluctantly likes her too. Doolin.
The dean was standing at the door. Although she was smiling, there was some sadness hidden in her eyes. Since her child lost her life in an accident and her husband abandoned her on this grounds, she dedicated everything she had to this orphanage.
Some people think that she just likes children, others think that she may want to bet a future on these children, and some people with twisted and dark minds think that the orphanage is profitable.
But in reality, she was atonement.
Even if the accidental death of her child had nothing to do with her, this woman always felt that it was because she failed to take good care of her child that the accident occurred, and she was guilty.
Only by redeeming herself for the sins she carried in this way could she become calm. She hoped that every child could grow up healthily and not be harmed by social discrimination or suffer from indifference.
She may be selfish, because her original purpose was to atone for her sins and redeem herself, but the behavior she performed was noble. She spent all her time and life on these children.
But at this moment, she was worried that all her savings had been used to build the house that is now the orphanage, and the few savings she had left simply could not sustain all the expenses for these children and herself during the years when the city expanded.
Even if the Social Services Bureau gives her an extra grant, she can't sustain it.
Maybe, it won't be long before they forget each other and end up becoming strangers.
As if aware of the dean's unstable mood, Du Lin dismissed the children around him and walked to the dean's side.
The dean was in her forties, and she had been busy with these children, making her look older than her actual age. She was somewhat restrained and stepped aside slightly.
Even people who are completely insulated from politics can still see Dulin's photo in the newspaper and know his name.
Du Lin tilted his head slightly and walked to the corridor. Snowflakes were still falling outside, but it wasn't the wind that made the corridor very cold. He lit a cigarette, stood on the edge of the guardrail, looked at the white slums, and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Ophelia told me about the relocation of this place..." As soon as Du Lin said a word, the dean agreed with some anxiety.
Du Lin, who was inexplicably interrupted, glanced at the dean again, and then continued, "She doesn't want to be separated from these children, so I will say hello to the Social Services Bureau and buy this land..."
The dean suddenly became excited, and then interrupted Du Lin again, "You...you mean, we don't have to move away?" Her voice was trembling a little when she spoke, which may be the reason for this winter. The most joyful and happiest thing!
This is her paradise, the paradise where she can save herself and others. If she can say no, who would be willing to leave here
At this time, the sky outside was still gray, but in the eyes of the dean, the dark clouds that had been pressing over the orphanage dispersed, and the warm sunshine enveloped her, and she could not even feel the slightest bit of cold!
"Madam, can you please listen to what I have to say first before expressing your opinion?" Dulin had to clarify that it had been a long time since he had been interrupted by someone, even if the person sitting opposite him was Mag. A great person like Si will listen carefully to all his content before expressing his own opinions.
The dean was stunned for a moment, and then apologized for his behavior with some panic, "I'm sorry, please tell me, I will listen carefully."
Dulin nodded and continued, "I noticed that this place is actually not small. There are some open spaces and lawns outside the main building. After buying this land, I will invest in the structural structure here. Make some modifications and renovations." Du Lin took two puffs of his cigarette and flicked the ashes. He had had this idea before, and this time the opportunity came. "I want to build an orphanage with the best conditions within the imperial capital. Set a benchmark for welfare institutions around the world.”
Du Lin had this idea for a long time. With the development and progress of society, people's lives gradually became richer. After they were able to eat, drink, and wear warm clothes, they would start to meddle in their own business.
Of course, the word is not used in a derogatory sense here. There is a saying in the world in his dream, which is called cultivating one’s moral character, harmonizing one’s family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Although it is not quite correct when used here, the meaning expressed is quite the same.
People begin to pay attention to more things besides themselves, and then express their own opinions and want to lead a certain trend. Among them, overflowing sympathy and compassion are the most common.
Even those beggars know that begging in the slums will definitely starve to death, but begging in the uptown area will definitely have no problem filling their stomachs if they are not chased by the police.
The richer they are, the clearer their concepts of being citizens of the empire and masters of the country are, and the more they want to show their value and role to society and the country.
Therefore, when a more caring and responsible person appears in society, he can be like a bright light. Even if he cannot light up the way of others, he will still receive sufficient praise and praise.
People will always be more tolerant and tolerant of kind and responsible people, especially when this person still has money and power.
This idea can gain more positive reputation for Dulin, and also help to improve his value in society as a whole. All he needs is to take other people's money out of his own pocket, it's that simple.
The Ophelia Angel Charitable Foundation has raised millions of donations since its establishment without any formal commercial activities...
The dean who kept interrupting him for a long time remained silent. Du Lin couldn't help but look at her again and said, "You can speak now."
The dean took out a breath, and then asked timidly, "What do I need to do?" She looked at Du Lin's strange eyes, blushed, and quickly explained, "I mean I should How can I repay you and Ms. Ophelia for their crystal-clear and kind hearts?”
"You and Ms. Ophelia have given the children the brightest care. As the director of this orphanage, I should do something so that I will not live up to your efforts!"
Du Lin took two more puffs of cigarette, flicked the cigarette butt outside the guardrail, drew an arc in the air, fell into the snow, and slowly sank into the snowdrift, "As long as it is what Ophelia wants, I will do it." Do it, if you need to do something to comfort yourself, look after all the kids, that’s the best thing to do!”
After speaking, Du Lin waved his hand, turned around and walked into the room. He looked at the girl who was surrounded by children and smiled as cleanly as an angel, and he laughed inexplicably.
This is a very special girl, clean and pure, and the smell she exudes can make people's hearts calm.
She was completely different from the girls and women Du Lin knew. Those women outside would only make people impulsive, but this girl was the only one who could make him want peace.
She is the only angel in the world, so build a heaven with your own hands and let her live in the sunshine.
Ophelia's mood obviously became very, very good when she came back from the orphanage. She was walking and dancing just like she did when they first started dating. She was like an angel who fell into the world, which made people full of positive emotions. , and joy.
After returning home, Dulin made a call to his old friend, Director of the Social Services Bureau, Klein. This guy took 200,000 from him last time and used it to convince the old men at the Art Institute to solve the problem. The problem of laying signal lines for TV stations.
Later, Hagrid told him that even if the Art Institute objected, as long as the Social Services Bureau insisted that it was necessary, there was nothing the old guys could do.
To put it simply, Klein took 200,000 yuan from him for free. Of course, for Dulin, there is no question of whether he got it for free or not. I gave the money and the problem was solved, so this is a success. Cooperation.
Klein was very happy when he received Dulin's call. After a few simple gossips, Dulin talked about the land issue of the orphanage.
Perhaps because he had received a lot of money from Du Lin, or perhaps because the influence of the change of office was increasingly threatening lower-level officials, Director Klein did not make any excuses this time and gave Du Lin a very direct response. Lin quoted a price.
"One million and two hundred thousand, Mr. Dulin. In fact, some people have raised the price to more than one and three million, but we are good friends and friends should help each other. I will say hello to the people below at any time. , as long as you are free." Klein acted very generously. If Dulin hadn't said he wasn't in a hurry, he would have sent the title document right away.
The more positive he is, it means Dulin has what he needs.
"I'm really sorry to trouble Director Klein so much. I've been in the imperial capital recently. If we have time, we can find a time to sit down." Dulin said something, if Klein needs his help. , he will definitely give an accurate and detailed time and place. If he does not intend to find any benefits, then he will just say haha and forget it.
When Dulin finished speaking, as expected, Klein had something to ask for, "I heard that Mr. Dulin is going to hold a wedding soon. I wonder if I have the honor to attend the ceremony?"
