Chapter 54

Tan Li's words were like a bomb, exploding in Wen Hongjuan's heart.

"Xiao Li, you..." She was touched, relieved, guilty, and mixed with emotions.

She pressed her eyes, "Xiao Li, you never came back after you became an adult, and I thought you didn't want to have any contact with the people here."

"I didn't expect..." Wen Hongjuan was moved, "You are successful now, and you think about everyone first."

"Xiao Li, Mommy Wen knows that our Xiao Li is the best child."

Tan Li: ...

She smiled politely.

How to explain this, is she really just ordinary, pure, and simple, just wanting to spend some money?

Seeing that Wen Hongjuan was moved beyond words, Tan Li finally gave up the explanation.

There was no point in explaining it. It wasn't her misunderstanding anyway. What did it have to do with her?

Ying Heng watched Tan Li for a long time. His dark eyes couldn't tell what he was thinking. Then, he winked at Tong Jing. Tong

Jing was stunned. For some reason, she felt that she understood what Ying Heng meant.

The two seemed to be having an encrypted conversation. Tong Jing also nodded to Ying Heng.

Tan Li: ...

What little secrets do her assistant and this little pervert Ying Heng have that her boss must not know?

**

After checking the donation list, Wen Hongjuan warmly invited Tan Li to personally deliver the gifts she sent to the children. She also took out the photo album with great interest and prepared to take some photos.

How could Tan Li, who was so lazy, be willing to do so?

She was about to refuse -

"I'll go." Ying Heng looked mature and steady at this time, like a good young man in society.

"Then I'll go and help!" Tong Jing also volunteered, looking like she was willing to go through fire and water for her boss.

In response, Tan Li smiled slightly, "Isn't this an invitation to me? How can I not go."

The main point is a rebellious.

Ying Heng and Tong Jing want to whisper behind her back?

Hey~

She will go to be an obstacle.

Ying Heng said helplessly, "Then let's go together."

Tong Jing smiled like a sunflower, "Then I'll be responsible for taking pictures! Don't worry, boss! I've studied it, and I will definitely take beautiful pictures for you!"

Tan Li:...

Why does she have a subtle feeling that she has stepped into a trap.

Tan Li stared at Ying Heng and Tong Jing deeply, but Ying Heng had the same poker face as always, and Tong Jing had the same sunflower face as always, and there was really nothing unusual about them.

She pursed her lips, wondering whether she should perform a scene of a woman's heart being a needle in the sea, and rich women are fickle.

But thinking about it, Tan Li still sighed -

"Okay, okay," she felt that she was really too amiable, and could be regarded as doting on the two young people, "as long as you are happy."

Tong Jing's reaction arc was too long, and she didn't understand the deep meaning of Tan Li's words.

Ying Heng glanced at her helplessly, but at least this time, he didn't have a weird look.

Asking means it's a habit.

Asking means compromise.

At least, Tan Li no longer calls him kid, young man, or young man, which is already very good. People should learn to be content.

Then, several people went to the activity room again.

Wen Hongjuan asked the children to line up in front of each other and receive gifts one by one in order.

Tan Li was like Santa Claus, taking gifts out of the unloaded cartons for the children, but as he was taking them out -

"People, if you want something, you should learn to fight for it yourself," Tan Li put the full carton in front of him with his bare hands, and waved his big hand, "Take it yourself."

The children had never seen such a way before, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.

A pair of round and bright eyes looked at Tan Li blankly.

Tan Li pointed to the inside of the carton, "Do you want it?"

The carrots nodded.

Tan Li pushed the carton forward, "Then come and get it yourself."

After saying that, she crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

The gifts have already fallen from the sky, and she doesn't know how to catch them. Instead, she expects others to put the gifts in her hands. This is a bit inappropriate.

And...

it's too! tiring! to take out the gifts one by one!

Such labor intensity is unacceptable for a salted fish like her!

She has already spent the money!

Don't expect her to do it again!

Tan Li leaned back in her chair steadily, ignoring the children's expectant eyes.

Wen Hongjuan was originally distributing gifts to her team. Seeing this, she wanted to speak up to ease the atmosphere.

Most of the children in the welfare home are sensitive, and she was worried that Tan Li's style would make them shrink back into their turtle shells.

But before she could say anything, she saw the little girl at the front of Tan Li's team was a little uneasy and stretched out her hand cautiously -

"Big sister, can I take this?" She was small in stature and had a small voice. She asked Tan Li holding a pink rabbit doll.

Tan Li: "Sure, if you can take it, take as much as you want."

The little girl was embarrassed to take more, but Tan Li encouraged her with her eyes. At that moment, it was as if someone gently pushed her from behind, and the little girl stretched out her hand again.

She blushed, and a voice in her heart told her that good children should only take one, but her hand seemed to have its own consciousness and grabbed a small lollipop.

"I, I'll just take another one of these, can I?" The little girl was so nervous that she stuttered.

Tan Li nodded, "I said, as long as you can carry it, you can take as much as you want."

Tan Li's tone was obviously cold, but it inexplicably filled the little girl with courage.

She felt a desire in her heart, and she grabbed a handful of it with her little hand——

Her hands were too small, so she only grabbed three lollipops, but the little girl looked as if she had received the stars from the sky.

She held the bunny doll and the lollipops, and shouted to Tan Li, "Thank you, sister!"

Then, she gave her seat to the next person.

Behind her was a little boy. Seeing that the little girl in front of her had taken so many, Tan Li said nothing. After hesitating for a moment, he also took the same amount as the little girl.

He quietly raised his head and looked at Tan Li's face.

Tan Li just crossed her legs and was in a daze.

He thought about it and secretly took one more candy.

Tan Li didn't react at all.

The little boy's arms were full, and his heart was full, "Thank you, sister!"

The third, fourth...

The children in Tan Li's team were getting braver and braver, and they took as many gifts as they could.

The children in other teams could not help but feel envious.

The quiet and happy team began to become restless.

Wen Hongjuan frowned slightly. She was very grateful to Tan Li for giving so many gifts to the children, but she did not agree with Tan Li's way of giving gifts now.

Tan Li could not take care of these children for her whole life. She let the children's desires grow today. When she patted her sleeves and left, these children would face greater loss in the future.

Moreover, it is not the lack of gifts that is worrying, but the inequality.

What do the children in other teams think of the children in Tan Li's team who got so much?

Although they are reluctant to admit it, the children in the welfare home are different from those in ordinary families. Instead of unbridled happiness, they should know how to be more restrained in their happiness, so that they will not be so easily beaten by the unfairness of the world in the future.

"Xiao Li..."

"You guys, too, come and get it yourself."

Wen Hongjuan just spoke, but was drowned out by Ying Heng's voice.

Ying Heng asked his assistant Liang Yian to move his cardboard boxes to the front, "Just like that team, take as much as you want."

! ! !

In an instant, only the children in Wen Hongjuan's team did not have this treatment.

The children in Wen Hongjuan's team looked at each other, with aggrieved, envious, and complicated expressions on their small faces.

Wen Hongjuan's brows deepened.

"No..." Before she finished speaking, the children in her team had already run halfway.

The remaining few hesitated, carefully observing Wen Hongjuan's expression while looking at the other side with envy.

As the two teams of Tan Li and Ying Heng were having a lot of fun, they started to push and shove.

"This is mine!"

"It's not yours! Brothers and sisters said, you can take as much as you want!"

"You've already taken so much!"

"Move aside, let me take it first!"

Wen Hongjuan's heart skipped a beat. She knew that these were just children after all, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves like adults. And now, something happened!

She was about to go up to persuade them to stop fighting, but the two carrot heads who were about to fight in front of the cardboard box suddenly left the ground.

???

The two children watched the ground getting farther and farther away from them, and they instinctively panicked. Their little feet twitched up, but their hands were still tightly holding the small toys they had just taken out of the cardboard box.

The other children, watching Tan Li easily pick up the two children, one in each hand like catching kittens, also calmed down immediately.

The two people from Ying Heng's team who were still fighting also froze in place.

Tan Li didn't care that she had become the focus of the crowd, and just said calmly, "Don't fight."

"Noisy."

After saying that, she put the children down.

"Are you still noisy?" She asked from a superior position.

The two children were stunned for a moment and shook their heads quickly.

Tan Li nodded with relief and fell back into the chair to be in a daze.

Although her movements were still lazy, in the eyes of the children, she seemed to radiate

the aura of a great devil... no, it should be said that she was a hermit.

The children stopped fighting for the gifts and gathered around Tan Li bravely, "Sister, you are so awesome."

"Yes." Tan Li responded without any humility.

"Sister, can we become as awesome as you?"

Tan Li thought for a moment, "Then I will build a martial arts classroom for you to practice more."

Although it is really difficult to become as awesome as her, she couldn't discourage the children's enthusiasm.

Wen Hongjuan wanted to interrupt again, but she felt it was difficult to speak because Tan Li had donated so many things, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed into a pile.

Helplessly, Wen Hongjuan had to say to the remaining children in her team, "You guys take it yourself."

"Wow--"

For a moment, every child's face was filled with joy.

After the gifts were distributed and the children dispersed, Wen Hongjuan couldn't help but say to Tan Li, "Xiao Li, you used to be here..."

She paused, feeling like she was exposing someone's scars, but she felt that she still had to make it clear to Tan Li, "You know, these donations may just be the whim of kind people."

"Children can't indulge in it."

"Sooner or later, they will have to face the injustice in society. You are like this..."

Under Tan Li's calm gaze, her voice became softer and softer.

Tan Li asked, "Just because they will face a harder life than ordinary people in the future, do they no longer have the right to be a carefree child?"

Wen Hongjuan was slightly stunned.

But after a while, she still insisted, "If being a carefree child will cause them to fall into more painful loss in the future, then it is indeed not the case."

"Xiao Li, not everyone is as lucky as you, meeting good people and living a good life when they grow up. For most children, just wanting to live like ordinary people is already extremely difficult."

"I hope they can face gains and losses with a normal mind in the future, instead of being blinded by temporary joy."

"They should get out of here on their own, instead of relying on relief that may disappear at any time."

When Wen Hongjuan said these words, her hands were folded in front of her nervously, but her gaze did not retreat at all. After

a long time -

Tan Li smiled slightly, "Then do as you wish."

"You are the director's mother. To them, I am just a kind-hearted person who came here on impulse."

"I can't be responsible for the future of these children, so I won't come here in the future."

She waved her finger behind her, "Little Tong."

Tong Jing quickly stepped out and took over Tan Li's words, "Director Wen, it's like this. The boss came here mainly to conduct an on-site assessment of the welfare home's operations and management personnel." "

After confirmation, the boss plans to set up a special orphan welfare fund to provide regular financial assistance to facilities like the Blue Sky Welfare Home in the future."

"This includes the education expenses, living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses required for each child before adulthood."

"What the boss means is that although she can't give these children a home, she hopes to give these children the confidence to build a new family." "

At the same time, we will also set up a regulatory agency to visit the welfare home regularly to ensure that every penny is truly used for the children."

Tong Jing held her head high and chest out, and her respect for Tan Li could not be concealed in her words.

I still remember yesterday, because Tan Li had a dull expression, Tong Jing initially thought that she might not like the orphanage where she had stayed.

But later, when Tan Li asked her to learn about the establishment process of the welfare foundation, Tong Jing understood that the boss was still the boss with a hard mouth and a soft heart.

Even if he pretended to be cold and ruthless on the surface, he was still very gentle in his heart.

"Of course, there will be a dedicated person to contact you later." Tong Jing said proudly, "As for our boss, he is quite busy, so he won't come here in person in the future."
