Chapter 35 Chapter 35

◎I can’t contact Xiao Wang anymore!◎

The secretary, waiting for no response, had no idea what kind of worldview shock her boss had experienced. She had already opened her phone to dial 110: "Boss, if you agree, just say so. I understand."

Wei Jingchen looked at the creatures beside him who were not sure whether they were human or ghosts. Despite his ups and downs in mood, he actually felt a kind of otherworldly calmness.

"It's okay, no need to fight." He closed his eyes and tried to speak. "I can handle it. You can go home now."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jingchen was helped by his sister to sit up straight.

Lian Jiu took the other demon gods away, leaving the brother and sister some space. After all, his sister would be more useful in comforting her than himself.

Wei Jingxuan poured a glass of water for her brother and said, "Brother, I've never seen you look so miserable."

After drinking a glass of water, Wei Jingchen finally realized: "This water..."

"Ordinary water." Wei Jingxuan was speechless. "Don't be so suspicious all the time."

"What's going on?"

Wei Jingxuan then told Wei Jingchen everything she knew about the kindergarten and Fuyu Mountain, leaving him stunned.

"That's right, so they're not really bad people. They're just trying to protect the monsters here."

Wei Jingchen looked at this strange mountain area again. Anyone could see that if it were in the south with this kind of climate, there would be no snow-capped mountains anywhere, but there were some here. Every blade of grass and every tree here was in sharp contrast to those outside.

No mountain area, whether artificial or natural, can compare to it.

"Then Director Lian Jiu..."

"She's a human being just like us," Wei Jingxuan said. "But she also chose to stay and help develop the mountainous area."

Now Wei Jingchen finally understood why Uncle Wu had said before that Lian Jiu was doing something unprecedented and unparalleled.

Yes, no one has ever dared to work alone in a place full of monsters, and he would also help the monsters get out of poverty.

If this incident becomes known to the world in the future, it will be recorded in history books.

"Don't be afraid, these monsters are quite kind." Wei Jingxuan poured him another glass of water. "Didn't you see that when we got here by car? I even think they're much better than some of the hypocritical people we met."

Wei Jingchen calmed down completely.

We have already experienced many major events, and being so panicked before was completely beyond our crisis expectations. This abnormal phenomenon is even more difficult to accept than encountering a criminal.

Thinking about the fact that the man knew everything he had done, Wei Jingchen asked, "Do they have super powers?"

"Of course there are demon gods protecting the mountainous areas," Wei Jingxuan said, "but ordinary demons are not much different from humans, they just have some special features."

Wei Jingchen thought of the little carp spirit blowing bubbles in the water, and thought: That's quite a skill too.

He put down the cup and said, "I'll talk to the headmaster again."

Wei Jingxuan immediately ran to the office happily to call the principal.

The two faced each other again, and Lian Jiu apologized: "Sorry, I scared you."

Wei Jingchen said with a wooden face: "It's okay, it will happen sooner or later."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Lian Jiu felt relieved and sat down and asked, "Jingxuan should have told you about our situation in general. I wonder if you are still interested in cooperating?"

Wei Jingchen thought about this question for a long time after he came to his senses. If this was an ordinary kindergarten, it would be fine and the money would not be a big deal.

But this is a monster kindergarten, and people of different races actually have different positions.

If something goes wrong with the funding, wouldn't I become the sinner of the conflict between the two races?

Wei Jingchen displayed his usual serious attitude towards work: "What department director are you in the Municipal Bureau? Is this matter legal and reasonable?"

As smart as Lian Jiu was, he guessed his concerns at once.

"Of course, we now have a special liaison department with the human world. If you are interested in cooperating, I can ask the head of that department to act as a guarantor."

"Is it a human?"

"Yes, his name is Zhang Chi, and he was specially sent here by the country."

It has risen to the level of national value, so it is no longer a simple subsidy.

Wei Jingchen pondered: "If that's the case, then the country should attach great importance to you. Why is there nothing?"

Lian Jiu sighed: "In fact, the concerns they have for us are the same as your current concerns."

"The emergence of the demon world is still an unknown to all humans. Humans don't fully trust us, and likewise, we don't fully trust humans. That's why I asked you to come alone."

This problem will exist no matter what era it is in and cannot be ignored.

Wei Jingchen understood and nodded. "After this cooperation, I have the right to know the complete whereabouts of your kindergarten's funds."

Lian Jiu's expression lightened: "Of course."

"Let's stick to what we agreed on before. I'll equip you with all the necessary facilities, and I'll have my assistant provide you with a monthly living allowance of 200,000 yuan. We'll discuss any further needs later on," Wei Jingchen said. "But this is a partnership, and we can't just give this money away for nothing. It's like you're making a public service announcement for our company."

"Is it the same as Jingxuan's cake commercial?"

"It will be a little different. It's not just about increasing sales." Wei Jingchen pulled up videos of the company's previous charity work on his phone. "We will be filming regularly and attending charity events. And your kindergarten will also have to display our company logo during the live broadcast. This will benefit our company's brand image."

On his phone, there was a video of LK executives interacting with the children. Lian Jiu frowned slightly and said, "Unless they are screened, I cannot agree to allow so many strangers to interact and communicate with our children for the time being."

She couldn't guarantee what these people were thinking, and if she met someone with bad intentions, she would be in chaos.

Considering the special nature of the Monster Kindergarten, Wei Jingchen thought for a while: "This kind of activity will be very rare, so it can be put off until later. I will screen the employees in advance."

Lian Jiu, however, came up with a good idea: "How about interacting with other residents in our mountain?"

"you mean?"

"Our monsters have high self-control and won't scare your employees," Lian Jiu said. "As you can see, the outside world will be very interested in how our mountain people and animals get along. If you want, you can come and interact with our monsters."

After this reminder, Wei Jingchen thought of the previous Mid-Autumn Festival video.

That was also the origin of his first interest in this mountain and this gardener.

Moreover, team building in such a place is beneficial to the employees' physical and mental health, and ordinary people cannot get in, so it is the best of both worlds.

However, apart from this, Wei Jingchen heard another meaning: "What else do you want to do?"

After all, sponsoring a kindergarten is one thing, and interacting and communicating with the big monster is another. If you look at the two separately, they have nothing to do with each other.

Lian Jiu sat up straight with a faint smile on his face. "Mr. Wei, I'd like to ask if you could give us a little more funding? We can give you some financial feedback on this."

Wei Jingchen: "About the big monster?"

"Yes." Lian Jiu stood up, "I can take you to the mountains to have a look."

This is what Wei Jingchen is interested in.

Now that I have come to the demon world, of course I want to see everything.

When Wei Jingchen got on the so-called school bus in the mountains and it took off, his heart almost flew with it.

I even had a thought in my mind that, let alone funding it, it would be well worth spending some money to experience this in one's lifetime.

Hold on tight, don't look like an inexperienced person. It's just a roller coaster without tracks!

Wei Jingchen cleared his throat and asked like a boss, "Would you like to take me to see your vegetable greenhouse?"

"No." Lian Jiu opened the window. "The issue with the greenhouse has been resolved for the time being, Mr. Wei, please take a look."

Wei Jingchen looked down the mountain where her finger was pointing and saw some children playing. He felt something was wrong: "Why did they come all this way to play? I don't see any houses."

Lian Jiu: "They don't have a house."

Wei Jingchen looked into the distance and indeed did not see any other houses except the kindergarten at the beginning.

"So?" Wei Jingchen found it a little funny. "You want me to build a house for you?"

"That's too greedy." Lian Jiuye laughed, "This time, I really want to cooperate with you in business."

"Tell me in detail."

Lian Jiu: "I plan to make a movie with all the monsters in the mountains."

"..." All the people and monsters turned their heads.

Yu Chongming said in surprise: "What did you say, Director?"

Wei Jingchen also thought she was being a bit fanciful: "Making a movie isn't something you can just talk about. Putting aside the funding and the crew, are you planning to use monsters as actors?"

"That's right."

Wei Jingchen was surprised: "You seem very confident."

"To be honest, I do have some confidence in this point." Ever since hearing Duan Zi'an's words that day, Lian Jiu has never let this matter go. She raised her eyes and smiled, "I believe Mr. Wei will have the idea of ​​seeing a paradise when he enters the mountains."

"indeed."

Lian Jiu pointed out the window again: "Now?"

Wei Jingchen answered every question: "It's not real, it's very strange."

Lian Jiu's eyes were bright. "In the past, scenes like this could only be seen in movies and fairy tales, right?"

Suddenly, Wei Jingchen understood what she meant. He once again looked at this mountainous area full of adventures, as if opening a door and entering this world.

Whether adults or children, we have always dreamed of such a place.

No worries, no worldly affairs, just a simple fairy tale paradise.

"No special effects, no sets, and even a small investment is not necessary," Lian Jiu said. "Do you think the idea of ​​a movie that presents a virtual world is feasible, Mr. Wei?"

"That's an idea." Wei Jingchen agreed with her point of view, "But you seem to be mistaken. I don't work in the entertainment industry."

Lian Jiu: "I know, I want to ask Mr. Wei to make this investment."

Wei Jingchen looked at her with interest. "What happens after the investment? Do you have the channels to contact the script, the director, and the production team? Even these monsters of yours need acting instructors."

"And you also said that I need to consider my employees when they come to do charity work. But you don't consider such a large team coming in?"

Lian Jiu faced the challenges head on without any stage fright: "So this is a long battle, and I will do my best to accomplish all of them."

The other demons and people in the car didn't say anything.

Because no one can guarantee that they can do this.

Only Director Lian Jiu has the courage to do this.

Lian Jiu didn't have the courage, but she felt that she had to do something to change the status quo, and the greater the achievement, the greater the risk.

We have already taken the first step in recruiting teachers, and we can’t let all our efforts go to waste.

After a while, Wei Jingchen finally held out his hand: "Okay, I promise. As long as you can meet all these requirements, I will provide all the funds for this film."

Lian Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over to shake his hand: "Thank you!"

"Don't thank me too soon," Wei Jingchen said. "This isn't something that can be accomplished just by talking about it."

“But you have to say it before you know how to do it.”

Wei Jingchen nodded: "That makes sense."

"What are they saying?" Yuan Qing sat behind Si Lan. "I don't understand a word they say."

Si Lan didn't say anything.

In fact, he didn't understand either.

He seldom goes out, so naturally he doesn't understand those so-called film teams or investments.

Compared to Lian Jiu, he seems to have always been conservative.

Maybe in the future, even if Lian Jiu really buys a house, he won’t be able to buy himself a toilet.

Si Lan answered the question irrelevantly: "Yuan Qing, what do you want to do?"

"Me?" Yuan Qing thought for a moment. "That's too much. I want to play with my phone, look at those pretty girls on it, eat delicious food, and even better, try all the fun things in the human world. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing." Si Lan said calmly, "I just think it's difficult for you to buy a house."

"?"

-

The cooperation was successfully reached, and Lian Jiu invited Wei Jingchen to have a meal in the mountains. The little turtle cub and the little carp spirit came to the school to play and interacted with him. He insisted on having dinner before leaving the mountain.

Out of respect for the rich man, Lian Jiu delivered it personally.

When he reached the mountain gate, Lian Jiu suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

She turned around and saw Wang Shanqing and Duan Zian running out. She said anxiously, "Director, I have to go out for a while too. I can't contact Xiao Wang."

"What?"

"I used to talk to her every day. She planned to visit the orphanages to see the children who had been separated. She would always let us know she was safe before visiting each orphanage, but after she went this morning, there's been no news. She didn't respond to my messages, and my phone calls are unavailable."

Wang Shanqing grew up in an orphanage. Now that the orphanage is gone, she has no family or friends left. After coming to kindergarten, she has a good relationship with several teachers and everyone cares about her.

Lian Jiu: "Did she say which orphanage she went to?"

"It seems to be from the House of Hope in the west of the city."

Wei Jingchen: "Angel's House of Hope?"

Lian Jiu turned his head and asked, "Mr. Wei knows?"

"Yes, it's quite large," Wei Jingchen said. "We've collaborated with them before, but there were problems with their financial statements, so we stopped funding them."

Hearing this, Lian Jiu had a bad feeling in his heart: "I'll go and take a look."

She called out into the mountains, "Si Lan!"

In an instant, Si Lan's figure appeared in front of the mountain gate.

Lian Jiu knew that he usually came and went without a trace, but this was the first time he saw him.

Everyone was stunned. He was far away one second and appeared in front of them the next!

Si Lan: “I heard it.”

Everyone: Fuck!

What kind of mount does a god like this need?

Lian Jiu turned to Wei Jingchen with an apologetic look on his face: "Shall I call another painted horse to take you home?"

Wei Jingchen: "I can go with you. I know where it is, and if I'm there, they won't dare to do anything if something happens."

"Yes!" Wei Jingxuan had already rushed into the car with the other teachers and sat down. She poked her head out the window and said, "My brother can go and calm the situation!"

Lian Jiu always felt that this huge group of people seemed to be going to fight.

An hour and a half later, the car stopped in front of Angel Hope House. Because it was already night, there were few lights inside and it was very quiet.

The scale is indeed very large, and a large iron gate outside isolates people from the outside.

At this time, Wei Jingchen's identity was very useful. The doorman could recognize him and directly open the door to let him in.

After a while, the dean here came out to greet them in person.

The dean was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked honest and kind, but Lian Jiu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him. Wei Jingchen said that the man's surname was Liu and his name was Liu Pingyuan.

Liu Pingyuan came over with a big smile on his face: "Boss Wei, what's the big deal? Why are you here so late?"

Wei Jingchen was completely different from the out-of-control look he had been in the mountains. He spoke with the aloof arrogance of a superior: "I went out to discuss cooperation today, and I remembered you guys, so I came to see you."

"That's right. You haven't visited the children for a long time. They miss you very much." Liu Pingyuan said, "You must be tired from standing there. Let's go to the office and talk."

Wei Jingchen winked at the group of people and monsters behind him, and everyone followed silently.

After arriving at the office, Liu Pingyuan looked back. These people were all unfamiliar to him, but each of them had an extraordinary appearance and manners, and one of them was even wearing ancient costume.

I guess they are not an ordinary family, so I smiled even more: "Everyone, please sit down. Don't be polite."

Then he walked over to Wei Jingchen and sat down. "Mr. Wei, are you missing your children? I'll call those children you like over here."

Wei Jingchen frowned: "What time is it? Why don't you let me rest?"

"That's right, I was confused." Liu Pingyuan poured tea himself. "Then what brings you here so late? Well, to be honest, our hospital has been in a real difficult situation recently."

Wei Jingchen made a stop gesture: "I have something to ask you."

"What's up?"

"Are there any outsiders in your courtyard today?"

"We have outsiders coming to our orphanage every day," Liu Pingyuan said. "As you know, our children are sensible, so there are often kind-hearted people who come to adopt them."

Wei Jingxuan found a photo of herself and Wang Shanqing on her phone. "Where's this person?"

Liu Pingyuan: "This is..."

Wei Jingchen: "My sister."

"It's Miss Wei." Liu Pingyuan immediately stepped forward, adjusting his glasses, and carefully examined the photo in her hand. "I personally receive guests in the courtyard every day, but I've never seen this person before."

Wu Shanshan immediately pointed out: "She clearly came to your hospital to see the child today."

Liu Pingyuan shook his head: "Our guards have daily records of admissions and discharges. You can go and look them up."

Wei Jingchen smiled and said, "Didn't we register when we came in?"

"...Isn't it because you're an acquaintance?" Liu Pingyuan said with an apologetic smile, "I've never seen this girl before."

Lian Jiu didn't participate in the questioning at all. Instead, he stood up and said, "My stomach hurts a little. Where is the restroom here?"

Liu Pingyuan saw that she was more beautiful than ordinary people, so he did not neglect her: "Just go out and turn right."

Lian Jiu tugged at Si Lan's sleeve: "I'm a little scared, come with me."

"We have separate restrooms for men and women here," Liu Pingyuan reminded. "Why don't you ask a girl to accompany you?"

How can that be? I need Si Lan's help.

Before Lian Jiu could say anything, Wei Jingxuan snorted coldly, "They are boyfriend and girlfriend. What do you have to say if they don't want to separate?"

Lien Jiu: "..."

Meeting Liu Pingyuan's inquiring eyes, Lian Jiu put his arm around Si Lan and smiled, "That's right, we can't be apart for even a moment."

Si Lan's eyes moved slightly.

The author has something to say:
