“I think we can discuss it with Tao Nong first.” Song Mengmeng tilted her head and smiled as she suggested to Yao Anna, “Let’s plan the itinerary and arrange some of the issues, and then have Tao Nong go with us to see the dean. I think that will definitely be much easier than if we go to the dean to bring this up ourselves.”

"Right! How could I forget that? If Tao Nong can help us, it will be much faster!" Song Mengmeng's suggestion made Yao Anna very happy!

As if afraid of wasting time, the little girl hurriedly got up and went to discuss the matter with Tao Nong.

Tao Nong was just finding a quiet spot to memorize her lines when Yao Anna suddenly grabbed her, startling her. She racked her brains trying to figure out what she had done wrong, but before she could finish her questioning, Yao Anna pulled her up from her seat and hurriedly dragged her towards Song Mengmeng: "Come on, come on, I have something to discuss with you!"

"W-what's wrong?" Tao Nong was dragged off her feet by Yao Anna, but she could only follow her footsteps for the time being, and she really didn't understand what had happened.

Yao Anna pulled Tao Nong to Song Mengmeng's side, and then stood up and bowed to Tao Nong very decisively: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My attitude was bad just now. I apologize to you first. Please don't take it to heart."

Tao Nong was startled by Yao Anna's actions. She quickly got up and, while declining, smiled and told her it was nothing. The two chatted for a while before sitting down and starting to talk about the important matter that Yao Anna had called her over for.

"You, you really want to take the kids to the amusement park?" Tao Nong was a little taken aback by Yao Anna's suggestion. She hesitated for a while before saying uncertainly, "Actually, I had thought about taking them to the amusement park before, but firstly, there are quite a few kids, and the cost for a day is not small. Compared to spending money on this, we might need to spend money on other things."

Most importantly, our orphanage has over ten disabled children who have difficulty moving around. If they want to go out and play, the other children definitely won't be able to enjoy themselves properly if we take them along. But if we don't take them, they are part of our orphanage. It would be even more wrong to abandon them like this!

Tao Nong didn't hide the difficulty of carrying out this matter. After all, from the perspective of the orphanage, taking these thirty or forty children out for a trip would cost at least ten thousand yuan, including entrance fees, transportation, and lunch at the amusement park. With that ten thousand yuan, and if they saved up a bit more, they could afford to have limb correction surgery for the children whose conditions were slightly milder.

"I've thought about it. If we're going that day, I'll arrange transportation in advance, as well as caregivers for the children with mobility issues. I'll also have someone book lunch at the restaurant in the park. The kids just need to have a happy and relaxing day. Mengmeng and I can cover all other expenses!"

Yao Anna looked at Tao Nong and decisively repeated the action plan that she had just discussed with Song Mengmeng to Tao Nong. Then she asked tentatively in a low voice, "Do you think there's anything else that needs to be added?"

"You, isn't this something your agency should handle?" Tao Nong was a little surprised. When she first heard Yao Anna's suggestion, she thought it was an idea from Yao Anna's agency to use charity to promote the celebrity on Weibo and create a persona.

But after listening to what Yao Anna just said, it seems that's not the case at all!

“No, I just heard Mengmeng mention that you’re from the Chuxin Orphanage, and I happened to have been there once before.” Yao Anna said, taking out the photos from her phone to show her again: “Look, this is a photo I took with Yueyue and the others when I went there last time.”

"Ah, so the pretty older sister that Yueyue kept talking about, the one who bought them new clothes and changed the playground, is you!" Tao Nong finally matched the person in her mind with the living person in front of her when she saw the photo.

She felt both grateful and apologetic, and hurriedly apologized. The two of them went back and forth like this for a while before finally getting back to the main topic.

With this relationship established, the subsequent conversation becomes much simpler and more straightforward.

Because this was entirely Yao Anna's personal desire to do something for the children in the orphanage, she naturally didn't want to make it public knowledge. The three girls huddled together and whispered for a long time before quickly finalizing the arrangements.

However, a small accident occurred at the end of the event. When Yang Ye suddenly appeared in front of them, neither Yao Anna nor Song Mengmeng looked happy.

Although both Yao Anna and Song Mengmeng had deliberately maintained contact with Yang Ye during this period, it seemed that this guy had taken some kind of wrong medicine and was always looking for various opportunities to get close to her.

"I heard you mention the orphanage just now. Are you going to do volunteer work?" Yang Ye seemed completely oblivious to the refusal on Song Mengmeng and the others' faces. He approached them with a friendly smile and suggested, "I used to volunteer at welfare homes and nursing homes often. If you have any activities planned, you can invite me to join you."

"No need, thank you. We've already discussed it." Yao Anna's smile almost crumbled. She took a deep breath and looked at Yang Ye, decisively rejecting his request.

As if he had anticipated that his suggestion would be rejected, Yang Ye was not angry. He turned to look at Tao Nong standing next to Song Mengmeng and continued with great sincerity: "I know you. You introduced the Chuxin Orphanage where you used to live during your live broadcast. I have always wanted to do something for the children there."

Since you don't agree to my joining this time, can't I at least donate some money to the children?!

“Thank you for your kindness. On behalf of the children in our orphanage, I thank you for your generosity. If you wish to donate, Mr. Yang, you can go directly to the orphanage and speak with the director. However, in order to ensure that the children have a peaceful living environment, our orphanage does not accept outside interviews or celebrity events.” Tao Nong was very polite to Yang Ye, but the meaning behind her words was quite clear: she was refusing.

This finally made Yang Ye lose his composure. He glanced at Song Mengmeng standing beside Tao Nong without showing any emotion, and asked, feigning confusion, "Then why can they?!"
