"So that's how it is. Next, Mayor Qin Ye, the second son of the mayor, will replace me as the head of the orphanage. Please don't worry, the decision-making will still be made by me." On Friday afternoon, Bai Yueyue began her routine meeting with Director Jiang.
"Miss Bai, may I ask what kind of person Young Master Qin Ye is?" Dean Jiang asked with some concern. Although Bai Yueyue said that she would still make the decision, if Qin Ye was a particularly troublesome person, it would be a major headache for the orphanage.
"He's a rather troublesome person, so you should let the children know in advance so they don't offend him." Qin Ye is different from Bai Yueyue. Bai Yueyue would tolerate those two troublesome sixteen-year-old brats, Lu Wu and Lu Ji, but Qin Ye wouldn't. Qin Ye was born an aristocrat, and if Lu Wu and Lu Ji dared to offend him, they would definitely be punished by Qin Ye.
In the end, Bai Yueyue will still have to handle this matter, but even if she gets involved, the punishment for the two of them will not be as simple as before.
Oh dear, Mother, I think I understand why you find things troublesome.
"I understand. Thank you for your advice, Miss Bai. I will inform the children." In short, Qin Ye would definitely not be as easy to talk to as Bai Yueyue. If the orphanage continued to treat the two of them with the same attitude, Qin Ye could deal with them in other ways, even if he didn't have the authority to make decisions, such as by disrespecting the mayor's family.
"That's good. Don't worry, I'll do my best to keep him calm. Now, give me a report on the situation at the orphanage this week."
"Yes, Miss Bai." With Bai Yueyue's promise, Director Jiang could feel a little more at ease. "A child at the orphanage had a fever last week, but thanks to Miss Bai, he has now fully recovered."
"Thanks to my good fortune?" Bai Yueyue forced a smile to avoid giving herself away, otherwise her two personal attendants, Hu Meier and Cui Ye, would surely ask her to regain her composure.
However, Bai Yueyue doesn't think she's very lucky now, since many people are watching her and some are always trying to target her.
“Is that so? I’m so glad to hear such reassuring news,” Bai Yueyue replied.
"Jiang Shu, under Miss Bai's orders, although still very worried about the children in the orphanage, has begun to complete her studies normally."
"Oh, Jiang Shu is such a well-behaved child. Please pass on this message: if she has any problems with her studies, you can write to me to let me know." Thinking of Jiang Shu, Bai Yueyue was quite satisfied; the child was gentle and kind, but actually quite stubborn. Bai Yueyue had originally thought that Jiang Shu wouldn't return to her studies normally until she found a good tutor.
What a lovely child. If everyone else were like Jiang Shu, I would have a much easier time.
"Thank you, Miss Bai, for your kindness to Jiang Shu."
"Hehe, where are the rest?"
"Yes, the other children are all very well-behaved. Thanks to Miss Bai's support, the orphanage's financial situation has improved a lot compared to before, but..."
Bai Yueyue knew that what Dean Jiang meant was that Ye Xinya and the others were afraid of her because of what happened before, and might be very resistant to her.
"It's alright, I'm satisfied to hear that they're doing well," Bai Yueyue said, not wanting to hold a grudge against the children, especially since what happened earlier would indeed leave them with psychological trauma. "What about the Lu brothers, Lu Wu and Lu Ji? I ordered them not to leave the orphanage without my permission, they probably didn't follow that rule, right?"
Bai Yueyue had already arranged for people to monitor the two kids, so she was naturally aware of their actions. This included their attempts to sneak out to look for work, only to be repeatedly rejected and even beaten for accidentally offending someone. Bai Yueyue's people were only responsible for monitoring them and ensuring their survival; they naturally turned a blind eye to these incidents.
"I'm sorry, Miss Bai, it was my fault for not supervising properly. Please punish me." Dean Jiang subconsciously stood up and wanted to kneel down to beg Bai Yueyue for forgiveness, but was stopped by Cui Ye.
Wow, Cui Ye, you really understand me! If it were Mei'er, she might even kneel down for Dean Jiang.
"From now on, record the number of times and the time when those two children leave, and give it to me during the meeting."
"Yes, ma'am. Thank you for your kindness, young lady."
After discussing some other matters, as soon as Dean Jiang left, Hu Meier said somewhat displeasedly, "Miss, please forgive Meier's rudeness."
"I forgive you. Please tell me now if there is anything you need to tell me."
"Thank you, Miss. You've been too lenient with Dean Jiang and the others. They're really pushing their luck now." Hu Meier's voice was laced with anger, clearly dissatisfied with Dean Jiang's previous attitude.
"Cui Ye, what do you think?" Bai Yueyue turned her gaze to Cui Ye.
Over the past few days, Cui Ye had adapted somewhat. After a brief moment of thought, he nodded in agreement with Hu Meier's point of view, saying, "Miss, I was unaware of Dean Jiang's previous behavior. But judging from his earlier demeanor, he must have assumed that Miss was merciful and would not punish him too harshly."
Is that so? I'm being taken advantage of because I'm kind?
“Therefore, Miss, you should issue even harsher punishments in the future,” Hu Meier suggested. Cui Ye agreed with Hu Meier’s suggestion. If Qin Ye were to handle it, Dean Jiang would certainly be more compliant now. He would never do anything to put Bai Yueyue in a difficult position, nor would he make excuses about inadequate supervision.
"I understand." Bai Yueyue nodded, but she didn't actually feel that Dean Jiang had bullied her. However, since both of her personal attendants thought so, Bai Yueyue would definitely have to consider her attitude towards Dean Jiang in the future.
So, I guess I'm still too young? Indeed, no matter what, I'm still too naive and not good at handling this kind of situation.
