An An did not act rashly until she guessed why Tao Nianlun was depressed.

But Ningning can't do that.

She was like a hardworking little bee, always circling around Tao Nianlun.

Finally, Tao Nianlun slowly spoke:

"Ningning, thank you, but I don't like sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Why?!"

Ningning was shocked. How could there be a child who didn't like the sweet and sour pork ribs her grandma made?!

Tao Nianlun said seriously, "It's too sweet. Eating too much will give you cavities. Thank you for bringing it to me."

The sweet and sour pork ribs have an attractive color and look delicious.

Ningning pestered Tao Nianlun and told him that as long as he brushed his teeth well, he would not get cavities!

After she said it dozens of times, Tao Nianlun was finally conquered by her.

"Then... I'll just eat two pieces. An'an, Ningning, you guys can eat too."

Tao Nianlun washed his rice spoon and carefully scooped out two pieces.

Tao Man rarely cooked such dishes for him.

The process of making sweet and sour spare ribs is complicated. You have to go to the market to pick out the right ribs and then ask someone to chop them into small pieces.

After returning home, it needs to be fried and coated with color.

It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.

Although Tao Man now works at a charity foundation, it is still difficult for her to raise a child alone.

So the sensible Tao Nianlun never made any requests.

The two ribs were very fragrant.

It was a sweet taste that Tao Nianlun had never tasted before.

Ningning saw that he was eating slowly, so she felt embarrassed to eat too much and could only eat in small bites.

Seeing that his two pieces were quickly gone, Ningning quickly poured two more pieces into his bowl.

"I don't need..."

"Eat!" Ningning frowned and imitated an adult. "You're too thin. Eat more! Otherwise you won't grow taller!"

The ribs were already in the bowl, and Tao Nianlun had no way of refusing.

An An also chimed in, "My grandma's sweet and sour pork ribs are even better than those made in state-owned restaurants. You'd better eat more, otherwise Ning Ning will pester you all day long."

"elder brother!"

Ningning dropped her bowl and chopsticks and started playing with Anan.

Seeing them making such a fuss, Tao Nianlun felt a lot more relaxed.

When the two finally calmed down, he spoke: "Actually, it's because I saw my father."

"What?"

"Your father?"

An An Ning Ning were both confused.

They have never seen Tao Nianlun's father, although Aunt Tao has always insisted that he has a father, but they just can't contact him.

But in An'an Ningning's eyes, maybe it was the same as Yanyan, or maybe it was...

Ning Ning asked doubtfully, "You should be happy to see your father? Haven't you always wanted to see him?"

Tao Nianlun pursed his lips.

He really wants to see his father.

Because his mother has been misunderstood and ridiculed for many years, he also insisted that he has a father.

He guessed that maybe his father was a scientist who knew a lot and was developing secret weapons.

Maybe Dad was on a secret mission and had to remain anonymous.

In short, Tao Nianlun found many excuses for his father.

In the end, all he saw was a businessman who reeked of money.

Although the other party did not reveal his identity, Tao Nianlun could feel that the person must have some relationship with him.

"I feel that he is very different from what I imagined." Tao Nianlun was a little frustrated.

An An patted his shoulder in a mature manner.

"I understand."

It was as if he had been looking forward to his birthday present for a long time, and his father gave him a big set of exercise books.

There is a world of difference!

Ning Ning saw the two little boys chatting in a coded manner and felt she had no chance to interrupt them, but she suddenly asked:

"Have you told Aunt Tao?"

"No."

Tao Nianlun shook his head. He himself was not satisfied with that person, so how could he tell his mother?

"You should have told her."

Ning Ning rarely became serious. "It's not just you who wants to see Dad. Aunt Tao must want to see him too."

Just like when mom was on a business trip, she and her brother missed mom, and dad missed her too.

I can't be so selfish as not to tell Aunt Tao Man.

Tao Nianlun was slightly stunned.

Should he tell his mother?

Ningning's words seemed to wake him up from his dream. He was indeed dissatisfied, but his mother might not be.

It is true that he needs his father, but it seems that his mother needs him more.

If dad showed up, mom wouldn't have to work so hard.

Tao Nianlun fell into deep thought, as if he had done something wrong.

…

Qin Zhiya held up a densely packed list sent by the charity, and the supplies requested on it far exceeded her imagination.

She was amazed and said, "Sister-in-law is really far-sighted."

Years ago, she wanted to expand her charity work, but fortunately she stopped in time, otherwise the number of requests would definitely be twice as many as this.

Even if she braked in time, the remaining orders would be enough for her to prepare for a long time.

"He really treats the charity as a relief hall. He even wants people to donate the bride price for marrying his wife."

Qin Zhiya looked at the many unreasonable demands inside and was amused.

Tao Man had already thought about it and said calmly, "We gave it to them too readily before, which made some people think that our money was blown away by the wind, so they dared to ask for anything."

Even when they were doing charity work, they were guiding many people to become self-reliant and even providing many jobs.

But there are still only a few people who are motivated to make progress. Many people, after tasting the sweetness of relief, are ready to live on it.

It has to be said that many difficulties are caused by their own bad qualities.

There is really no need for charitable foundations to pay for everyone.

Qin Zhiya naturally knew this. After experiencing the Tian Dafu incident, she deeply realized that many people think that he is right just because he is poor.

I felt that if the foundation could save people once, it could definitely save them a second time.

She and Tao Man called their subordinates and studied it carefully for a whole morning, crossing out all the unreasonable demands.

Even so, what remains is no small amount.

"We can ask my eldest sister for donations for things like clothing, but we can't rely solely on my sister-in-law's company for everything else."

The charitable foundation was handed over to her for management. So far, she has given out whatever money was asked for, and it has accumulated to an astronomical figure unknowingly.

We definitely can’t afford it just by relying on Yu You’s donation.

Qin Zhiya thought about Yu You’s advice last time, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Tao Man, do you think other companies would be interested in doing charity?"

"ah?"

Tao Man thought it was a fantasy.

Doing charity is contributing to society in a broad sense, but from a selfish point of view, isn’t it just throwing money into the water?

Which company would buy into using its own money to help people who have nothing to do with it?

Qin Zhiya felt that was not entirely true.

"For example, my sister-in-law's braised food shop has become well-known because of its charity work. Although their customers don't donate money, one out of every ten yuan they spend may go to the shop to help the homeless."

"This is a means of publicity, and it also reflects the social responsibility of the company."

No matter how you calculate it, companies can get some positive feedback.
