It was half an hour later when Bai Yueyue returned to the manor.

Seeing Bai Yueyue's exhausted face, Hu Meier immediately ordered someone to place the prepared hot milk and desserts on another table specifically for Bai Yueyue to enjoy afternoon tea, and helped Bai Yueyue to that table.

"Phew~" Bai Yueyue breathed a long sigh of relief as she lay on the table. The monsters she had encountered these past two days were of a strength that Li Meng and his team could hardly handle, but which Bai Yueyue could easily manage.

These monsters were weak to Bai Yueyue, but for Li Meng and his team, they would require a considerable effort to defeat. More importantly, these monsters appeared in different locations simultaneously, preventing Li Meng and his group from dealing with them together. In this situation, only Bai Yueyue could handle them quickly.

Therefore, the police's role was limited to simply informing Bai Yueyue of her location; they were too short-handed to even stop her. As for the military, Bai Yueyue and her group did not have the authority to request their deployment.

"Lord Li Meng and the others are really something. How can they trouble Miss so much? Miss is already working so hard, and now they have to deal with all this for her." Hu Meier was really distressed by Bai Yueyue's current hardship, and her words were even presumptuous and rude.

Of course, Bai Yueyue didn't care about these things. She didn't blame Li Meng and the others for being useless. It was just that these monsters were too difficult for ordinary people to deal with, and Bai Yueyue hadn't given Li Meng and the others any magical abilities.

"If only my uncles could have superpowers like Nianxin and the others," Bai Yueyue couldn't help but mutter to herself. However, she was quite worried about Nianxin and the others' powers; she really didn't know what side effects such powers of unknown origin might have.

However, since the Ten Directions Tribunal is the creator of these monsters, it is impossible for them to hand over the power that can deal with them. Now, Bai Yueyue has to face them alone.

"Wow, this is delicious!" While pondering how to deal with these troublesome matters, Bai Yueyue took a bite of the strawberry cake, her eyes instantly regaining their sparkle, and she completely forgot to hide her emotions. "My chef is amazing! The desserts he makes are so wonderful. Mei'er, do you think I should go to the kitchen to see how he makes them?"

"Miss, you are not allowed to go into the kitchen."

Hu Meier's words shattered Bai Yueyue's hopes. Now Bai Yueyue understood why Li Jieyue loved cooking so much, yet her cooking was so unique.

As the former eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Jieyue was not allowed to enter the kitchen, nor could anyone teach her these skills.

After getting married and having children, the couple was initially quite poor and occasionally missed home, so Li Jieyue thought cooking wouldn't be difficult. Thus, with no one restricting her freedom, she began going in and out of the kitchen. Even after the villa hired a chef, Li Jieyue still preferred to cook for herself.

Then, Bai Zhenhao also doted on his wife. He would grit his teeth and eat whatever Li Jieyue made, and he would praise her, which made Li Jieyue's self-confidence soar.

Fortunately, Zhao Shuli was watching over them at the manor, so Bai Yueyue and the others didn't have to face that heart-stopping food again. Bai Yueyue was very grateful for this.

"Then, Mei'er, please tell him to continue bringing me delicious desserts," Bai Yueyue said. Since she couldn't directly say she liked it, she could only praise the chef in this way.

"Yes, Miss. It is his honor."

After quickly and elegantly finishing her afternoon tea, Bai Yueyue, refreshed, began to work on the outline of the meeting she needed to discuss with Dean Jiang.

The first thing Bai Yueyue had to consider was funding, because this was a long-term project that would require a huge amount of money.

In the early stages, you can try to coax Bai Zhenhao out of money, but by the middle stages, it will obviously be impossible because Li Jieyue will find out.

Where would her funds come from, and how much would she need each time? Bai Yueyue was starting to feel overwhelmed; this was the first time she had ever worried about money.

"There's no other way," Bai Yueyue skillfully took out her phone, found Bai Zhenhao's WeChat, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Dad~ I'm broke. Can you give me a little million to play with?"

This is just her being affectionate in private, so of course it has to be cute. How can she act like an aristocrat? After all, no one else knows.

You mean Hu Meier? Didn't you see she was dumbfounded? Do you think I don't know my servants? They certainly won't tell anyone.

As for Hu Meier, she really didn't react. She even doubted whether she had traveled through time. Could this tone and these words really be spoken by a young lady?

[Is it because of the orphanage?] A minute later, Bai Zhenhao replied, [Your mother has already told me.]

Hmm, it leaked so quickly? Bai Yueyue picked up her phone and started replying to messages: [Please~]

Bai Yueyue was naturally very relaxed while chatting on her phone. After all, if she chatted with Zhang Yuyao in an aristocratic tone, Zhang Yuyao would definitely scold her: "What are you pretending for?"

"Come to the company this weekend and let's talk." Bai Zhenhao replied from the other end of the line, forcing back tears.

Waaaaah, I can finally see my precious daughter! It's all these guys' fault, I just can't leave them.

Bai Zhenhao was already overwhelmed by the people coming to investigate from the capital and other cities. He would occasionally go back home late at night, and after comforting Li Jieyue, he would have to go out again before dawn, so he never got to see Bai Yueyue.

Now, because of Qin Limin's departure, he has to face these visitors from the capital alone, and he also has to assist Qin Zijin and Qin Ye in dealing with the problems in Asia City, so he has even less time to return to the manor.

When Bai Yueyue came to the company before, Bai Zhenhao went out to meet and talk with those family members. Now that he finally had the opportunity and time to see his beloved daughter, Bai Zhenhao naturally wanted to do so.

“…This is so troublesome.” Bai Yueyue was completely overwhelmed by Bai Zhenhao’s messages, after all, she hadn’t finished dealing with her own matters yet.

However, since I need to go there in person, this matter must be very important and requires face-to-face discussion.

"Okay, I'll go over on Saturday morning," Bai Yueyue replied. She wasn't sure if she needed to write to formally confirm the time, but since it was her own father, she figured it shouldn't be necessary.

Although it was troublesome, Bai Yueyue had to go for the sake of the children in the orphanage.

At the same time, Bai Yueyue also needs to know what those children are lacking.

“Classrooms? But that would require rebuilding the building, which would be too noisy and troublesome. Teachers? But there aren’t enough classrooms. Even if we find teachers who don’t mind working at the orphanage, it would be difficult to meet the needs of so many children of different ages.” Bai Yueyue rubbed her head and listed as many issues as possible that she needed to meet with Director Jiang to discuss.

"There are three older children who will definitely need to go to school, so what about their schools and their academic progress? Oh, and what about recreational facilities? The children rarely leave the orphanage, so they must be looking forward to the outside world. Recreational facilities would make them happier. Should we hire a cook? After all, the children used to cook for themselves, so we need to be more careful about the source of the ingredients. I haven't been to their canteen or dormitory yet, so I don't know what they're like..."

Ah, so tired. I'll never talk nonsense again... Bai Yueyue wanted to just lie down and give up, because her few words and actions had caused so much trouble.
