Chapter 29. For those with a sensitive heart, everything appears dirty. ...

A while after the team finished unloading the supplies they brought, the planning team that Qiu Yuan had hired also arrived.

As soon as the staff dressed as clowns entered the courtyard, the children immediately gathered around them out of curiosity.

The staff were well-trained; they pulled balloons from a large bag and quickly made a puppy.

The children exclaimed in surprise and surrounded him, refusing to leave.

Qiu Yuan also went over to join in the fun, and when she came back, she was holding two mini balloons in her hand.

Looking at the happy children in the yard, Xia Xin'er smiled and said to Qiu Yuan, "Your idea is the best. Why didn't I think of that before?"

Tang Ran nodded in agreement, "Xiao Yuan is very thoughtful."

Miao Tiantian had mentioned to her before that Qiu Yuan was really good at taking care of people.

"Thank you for the compliments, sisters."

Qiu Yuan handed the two balloons in her hand to them.

Tang Ran held a red heart-shaped magic wand, while Xia Xin'er held a small pink flower; both were only the size of a palm.

"How did you do that at such a small size?" Tang Ran asked curiously.

Qiu Yuan smiled and said, "I just learned it from that guy."

Tang Ran asked in surprise, "You did this?"

"Hmm." Qiu Yuan nodded. "It's not difficult to do. Do you want to learn, sister?"

Tang Ran shook her head. "Never mind."

This balloon doesn't look as simple as Qiu Yuan said, and since she's clumsy, she won't try.

Xia Xin'er looked thoughtfully at the flowers in her hand, then at the heart-shaped stick in Tang Ran's hand, and felt as if she had discovered something.

With a professional planning team in charge, the birthday party at the welfare home was exceptionally lively.

After the birthday lunch, the planning team began preparing the inflatable props for the afternoon's games.

Tang Ran's phone rang; it was President Yu calling.

She went to the back of the main building and found a quiet place to answer the call.

In a few days, there will be a Global International Equestrian Championship in Jiangcheng. Mr. Yu has a major client who loves equestrian sports and wants to book a VIP box for the competition, but he hasn't been able to.

Mr. Yu remembered that Tang Ran had told her that a friend's family was a shareholder in an equestrian club, so he wanted to ask her if she had any ideas.

The friend that Mr. Yu mentioned is from Tang Ran's small group chat, and they have a fairly good relationship.

Hearing that Tang Ran wanted to book a VIP room, they readily reserved one for her.

After returning Mr. Yu's call, Tang Ran put away her phone and happened to run into Xia Xin'er, who was returning from the restroom.

The two walked back together, and just as they reached the corner, they heard someone say, "She clearly has a girlfriend, but she deliberately seduces Senior Fang. She's shameless."

Tang Ran recognized the voice as belonging to the girl with the freckled face, and the person she was referring to was Xia Xin'er.

All morning, it was clearly Fang Kun who was the one who took the initiative to talk to Xia Xin'er.

He was the one who deliberately approached her, but in the eyes of the freckled man, it was Xia Xin'er who was seducing Fang Kun.

Tang Ran remained silent.

Not only is he ugly, but his heart is also dirty.

"And her two friends, they're not here for charity at all, I think they're just here to put on a show." The tall girl continued, "They even hired a planning team, ha, it's really impressive to be rich."

Tang Ran rolled her eyes; people with heart conditions see everything as dirty.

Birds of a feather flock together; no wonder these two can get along so well.

Qiu Yuan hired the planning team to make the children happy, but in their eyes it was just a show and flaunting wealth.

"These young ladies do charity work just to gain fame. Last month, Miss Xia even received the city's Outstanding Youth Medal."

Tang Ran recognized the voice; it belonged to Ye Xiaoyu.

His speech remained as sarcastic and unfriendly as ever, deliberately stirring up trouble.

After she finished speaking, the tall girl became even more jealous: "Hmph, we've done just as much as we've done, why don't we get medals? It's just because she's a rich girl from a wealthy family."

Tang Ran found it amusing. Xia Xin'er donated seven figures to the welfare home every year and also established a charity fund to help poor children get medical treatment. She didn't know how many people she had helped.

Participating in offline charity events is arguably the most insignificant contribution one can make, and I don't know how this person could say she deserves a medal.

Just because she's rich, does that mean Xia Xin'er's good deeds are a given, and the money she donates isn't real money?

There are countless wealthy people in this world, but very few are willing to donate money and genuinely do charity work, not for fame.

Of all the people Tang Ran knew, Xia Xin'er was the only one.

"I see." Ye Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder Miss Tang and the others came today too."

She stopped halfway through her sentence.

The freckled-faced girl immediately chimed in, "They're definitely after the medals too. These young ladies are so hypocritical."

"They're all trying to take advantage of us." The tall girl was the most indignant.

Her eyes darted around, and she said with a mischievous grin, "You like playing games, right? Then I'll..."

She lowered her voice, so Tang Ran and Xia Xin'er couldn't hear what she said.

“That’s a great idea, let’s let them have some fun,” the freckled-faced man agreed.

Ye Xiaoyu disagreed, saying with some fear, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. What if someone finds out?"

"Just make sure no one finds out."

The two men's tempers flared up, and they were determined to embarrass those young ladies today.

Ye Xiaoyu shook her head nervously: "No, no, I dare not."

The tall man gave her a disdainful look. "If you're scared, then leave it at that. We'll handle it ourselves."

Xia Xin'er couldn't stand it anymore and clenched her fists to go over, but Tang Ran stopped her.

If we just let it pass like that, at most we'll exchange a few mild criticisms, but that's not as satisfying as letting them reap what they sow.

Tang Ran and Xia Xin'er did not return to the courtyard, but went to a room on the second floor that faced the outside of the orphanage.

As they looked down, the freckled woman and the tall woman walked back and forth beside the inflatable prop.

The two walked around twice, occasionally exchanging a few words with the staff, seemingly having inquired about the game's details.

They huddled together and whispered for a while, then simultaneously looked up and pointed at a prop.

During this time, Ye Xiaoyu kept a distance from them and did not participate.

Tang Ran sneered.

Ye Xiaoyu said plenty of things to stir up trouble, but when she stepped forward, she always managed to absolve herself of all responsibility.

No wonder she was once Sun Jiaojiao's lackey; she's really good at using others as pawns.

Seeing the two people's subtle actions, Tang Ran took out her phone and dialed Qiu Yuan's number.

An hour later.

The planning team set up an obstacle course game area made of inflatable props in the open space outside the welfare home.

The host directed everyone to form game groups where one adult would lead one child.

Xia Xin'er couldn't do strenuous exercise, so she didn't participate in the game. Tang Ran and Qiu Yuan each brought a little one to participate.

Because there were children involved, the competitions were mainly for the kids, including games like ring toss, "Red Light, Green Light," and frisbee catching.

After playing for more than an hour, both the volunteers and the children were a little tired.

During the intermission, the freckled woman and the tall woman quietly went to the back of the game area when no one was looking.

Tang Ran and Qiu Yuan exchanged a glance, and Qiu Yuan waved to the host.
