Half an hour later, Chai Ning walked out of the container, his eyes slightly red.
She walked quickly to Zheng Yiwen and bowed deeply.
"Base Commander, this was my dereliction of duty, but I would like to ask you to wait for me to thoroughly investigate the matter and give the children an explanation before punishing me."
Zheng Yiwen looked down at her, remaining silent for a long while.
The original purpose of establishing the welfare home was to provide children with a warm and safe place to live, but now the original purpose has been reversed.
This welfare home, which should have been a safe haven for children, has now become unrecognizable, a place where some morally bankrupt individuals deceive their superiors and act recklessly.
He believed that Chai Ning was not involved in this matter, but as the director of the welfare home, she was completely unaware of such an incident, which was a dereliction of duty on her part.
When Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but turn to look at him, Zheng Yiwen sighed softly and slowly said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll give you another chance for now."
But remember, this is also your last chance.
You know the consequences if you don't handle this properly.
"yes!"
Chai Ning nodded heavily, quickly wiped his eyes, and hurriedly left.
“An’an,” Zheng Yiwen turned to Jiang Nian’an and said, “it seems we’ll have to ask you to stay up here for a while.”
Jiang Nian'an smiled and said, "It's alright. Right now, I'm the most idle person in the entire Shen family."
Zheng Yiwen hummed in agreement, then her expression turned awkward, as if she had something she couldn't say.
Jiang Nian'an noticed, but since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask, and even turned her head to look elsewhere.
Zheng Yiwen thought Jiang Nian'an would ask him first, but she completely ignored him.
Having no other option, he had to take the initiative and say, "An'an, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter..."
He paused briefly, seemingly considering how to phrase his next words, before continuing, "The expenses for supplies at this welfare home are not small, and we really can't manage on our own."
If they ask about it from the south, I hope you... can put in a good word for them.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, I can handle this little matter."
Jiang Nian'an withdrew her gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a calm and composed demeanor.
"As long as the welfare home can guarantee that this will not happen again, we will continue to supply supplies according to the previously agreed terms."
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that." Zheng Yiwen's worries were put to rest.
He was afraid that the Shen family would get angry and stop supplying the welfare home with supplies.
Jiang Nian'an walked to the door of the turnover box and glanced inside.
Qi Xing was feeding the little ones.
"Base Commander!"
Three people in welfare home uniforms ran over from a distance and stopped in front of Zheng Yiwen, panting. "The director sent us to take over Group 67."
"Um."
Zheng Yiwen looked them up and down and said earnestly, "I hope you will learn from the lessons of those people before you, do what you should do, and don't reach out for what you shouldn't."
"Rest assured, Base Commander, we swear on our integrity and dignity that we would never do anything that only beasts would do!"
The three people, with solemn expressions, expressed their stance in unison.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Zheng Yiwen waved his hand, and the three of them entered the container.
"Qi Xing, come out here."
Jiang Nian'an waved to Qi Xing, and Qi Xing immediately ran out.
“These three were personally dispatched by the dean. They are different from the previous ones. They will take good care of these five. Now come back with me to pick up the others.”
"Okay!" Qi Xing nodded.
"Uncle Zheng, we'll be going now."
After finishing her business, Jiang Nian'an didn't linger and took Qi Xing back to the previous courtyard.
The children had finished eating and were warming themselves around the electric heater, glancing at the door and secretly praying that Qi Xing and Jiang Nian'an would return soon.
"Little sister, your brother is back!"
As soon as Qi Xing entered the courtyard, he shouted inside.
"elder brother!"
"Brother Qi Xing!"
Qi Yue and several other children rushed out and surrounded Qi Xing, asking him all sorts of questions.
Qi Xing told them the outcome of the matter.
"Great! We won't be beaten or go hungry anymore!"
After hearing this, the children jumped for joy, running and cheering around the yard.
"Qi Xing," Jiang Nian'an called out to Qi Xing, who quickly pulled Qi Yue to her side, "Sister."
"If you hadn't met me, were you planning to find another opportunity to bring the rest of your children out as well?"
Jiang Nian'an stared into his eyes.
Qi Xing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to lie and nodded, "Mm."
Jiang Nian'an walked into the house and sat down next to the electric heater. She patted the spot next to her and said, "Bring Qi Yue in and let's talk."
Qi Xing pulled Qi Yue along and obediently sat down next to Jiang Nian'an.
"Have you thought about how you'll live after you bring them all out?" Jiang Nian'an asked.
"some."
Speaking of this, Qi Xing chuckled, quite pleased with himself, "The container area opposite the Shen family's house is hiring people to move bricks and build houses, and they'll pay three level-one crystal cores a day."
Our group, number 67, not only has children, but also seven or eight older brothers and sisters in their teens. They can work in the container area to earn crystal cores to exchange for food.
I can take the remaining little ones to clean up the trash near the base, or run errands for the superhumans, or go out begging like today. Maybe I'll meet someone as kind-hearted as you, sister.
