The next day, Fang Zheng brought Fei to the hotel again and met with the orphanage director, Teacher Theresa, and the children. The latter naturally thanked her again. Then the children went to eat, and Fang Zheng began to ask the orphanage director about the fire. In fact, there was no need to ask to know that this was definitely not an accident. At that time, Fang Zheng, Fei and Chlos all saw the arsonist. Fei also fought a fierce battle with the other party, but failed to capture him.
The question now is, how free is the other party that they actually came to burn down the orphanage?
However, Teacher Teresa was also at a loss. She ran this small orphanage alone and had never had any conflicts with others. In addition, Maria Orphanage itself was very remote. Even if ordinary thugs wanted to cause trouble, they would not cross the street and run here to set fire, not to mention that the other party had guns... This scared Teacher Teresa a lot. She was just an ordinary person. She and her husband originally ran the orphanage, but her husband died before, leaving her alone to raise four little kids. How could she have thought that such a thing would happen?
“Knock, knock.”
Just as everyone was talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Chloë walked in.
"Teacher, two guests have arrived."
As she spoke, Chloë stepped aside and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man and a blue-haired man who looked like a secretary walk in.
"Mayor Delmont."
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of her, Teacher Theresa also stood up hurriedly.
"I didn't expect you to come..."
"Haha, as the mayor, I can't just ignore such a big thing. It's been a long time since we last met, Teacher Theresa. I'm relieved to see that you're safe and sound."
Mayor Delmon looked to be in his 40s or 50s, well-maintained, and spoke in a decent tone. He smiled at Theresa and then spoke.
"After receiving the report, I rushed here. I never thought that something like this would happen. I was extremely worried."
"I'm really sorry to ask you to take time out of your busy schedule to come here..."
"It's nothing. This is Mayor Luan's duty. Although I don't know who did it, they were so inhumane to burn down Joseph's beloved house... This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable. As Mayor Luan, I will get to the bottom of it and will not tolerate it!"
Mayor Delmon spoke passionately, while Fang Zheng smiled and said nothing. In fact, he used the Whispering Banner to investigate the truth of the whole matter after returning. In fact, the mastermind behind this matter was the mayor in front of him. He wanted to build a high-end villa area on this beach, but he thought that this small orphanage was dirty and messy and affected the environment, so he simply burned it down, and then took the matter on himself, and finally successfully took the land into his own hands.
Well, to be honest, this process reminded Fang Zheng of the urban online novels he read when he was in college.
A mayor wanted to demolish the protagonist's house, but the protagonist refused to obey. So the mayor gave an order and sent a team of special police to demolish it. Then the protagonist broke out and defeated the fully armed special police... and then a melee began.
Isn’t this a poisonous plot in online novels?
Are you playing this with me in real life?
Are you trying to make me laugh?
"By the way, Teacher Theresa, I want to talk to you too."
At this moment, Mayor Delmon ended his hypocritical greetings and went straight to the center.
"Now that the orphanage has been destroyed, the children have nowhere to live. Do you have any ideas? After all, it will take some time to rebuild the house, and it will cost a lot of money."
"Well...to be honest, I don't know what to do."
Hearing Mayor Delmon's question, Teacher Theresa lowered her head in embarrassment, while Fang Zheng chuckled at the same time.
"Don't worry about that. We will arrange it."
"Who are you……"
Hearing Fang Zheng suddenly speaking from the side, Mayor Delmon looked at him in confusion, while the latter smiled under Mayor Delmon's gaze.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Mayor Delmon. I am Fang Zheng, the president of Starlight Technology. I am deeply saddened by the arson incident at Maria Orphanage. Therefore, Starlight Technology will use part of its charity funds to assist in the reconstruction of Maria Orphanage. Before that, we will pay to rent a house here to provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the children."
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
Hearing this, Teacher Theresa immediately spoke hurriedly.
"We are very grateful that you rescued us from the fire. How can we ask you to pay for it?"
"Don't worry, Teacher Theresa. Starlight Technology has always had a charity fund for the maintenance and construction of orphanages in various places. One more or one less won't make much difference, so you don't have to be polite to me. Besides, we have more money than we can spend anyway, so a little bit of it doesn't matter, right?"
"Well……"
Faced with Fang Zheng's self-righteous answer of "more money means more freedom", Teacher Theresa didn't know what to say for a moment. Mayor Delmon next to him also looked a little stiff, but Fang Zheng seemed not to notice Mayor Delmon's expression and just smiled at him.
"That way, there won't be any problems, right, Mayor Delmon?"
"Ah, well... since the president of Starlight Technology is here, then there must be no problem."
Mayor Delmon's expression was obviously a little ugly at the moment, but he still forced himself to smile and then looked at Teacher Theresa.
"Then I'll take my leave first. If you have anything else, please come back to us."
After saying this, Mayor Delmon left in a hurry with his secretary, while Fang Zheng looked at the two people's embarrassed backs with a smile, and said nothing. On the contrary, Chlos stared at the scene in confusion, without saying a word.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, this is really too much trouble for you..."
"Ms. Theresa, there's no need to be polite."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, indicating that Teacher Theresa didn't need to thank him.
"You can go and find out. Charity aid, especially the maintenance of orphanages, has always been the foundation of our Starlight Technology Fund. We don't just give you money. Even if there wasn't the fire yesterday, Starlight Technology would still give money after hearing about this. If you don't believe me, ask Chlos."
"Ah, yes, sir."
Hearing Fang Zheng suddenly throw the topic to herself, Chlos was also stunned and nodded quickly.
"Starlight Technology does have a special fund for this purpose. It has branches not only in Liberl, but also in the Empire and the Republic. So you don't have to worry about this, teacher."
"Of course, charity is charity, but we at Starlight Technology are not just a bunch of idiots who will take advantage of you. We audit the use of funds every quarter, so Ms. Theresa, you need to be prepared for this."
"Of course, please rest assured, Mr. Fang Zheng, we will definitely make good use of every penny!"
"That's fine. You and the children can stay here today. Starlight Technology will send someone to connect with you tomorrow."
Hearing Teacher Theresa's answer, Fang Zheng nodded slightly.
"Fei, make a note and have Enaya come over tomorrow to sign the agreement on behalf of Starlight Technology."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Outsiders may not understand what Fang Zheng's order means, but Fei knows very well that among the four sisters, when Fang Zheng needs her to appear, it is usually to fight against the hunters. If Enaya is asked to deal with the problem, then there is a high probability that someone will die - after all, Enaya's ambition has always been to learn "black" and become a killer.
"Asshole, how could this happen!!"
However, Mayor Delmon did not know at this moment that he was in great trouble. After returning to his mansion, he immediately started to lose his temper.
"What the hell did those idiots from the Intelligence Department do?! We asked them to start a fire, and it turned out like this!"
Mayor Delmon originally thought that after the fire, Teresa would be left alone, so he could send her to the capital, and then the land would belong to him. But he didn't expect Starlight Technology to show up and ruin his plan!
This won’t do!!
You know, Mayor Delmon has put a lot of effort into planning and building this high-end villa complex, and he was also able to get in touch with Duke Kenan, a member of the royal family. The other party expressed his satisfaction with his high-end villa complex. If it is built, the profits it will bring to him will be immeasurable.
But now...how come it’s just a small orphanage that can’t be cleaned up?
"Mayor, do you want us to send more people to attack Starlight Technology..."
"Are you out of your mind?"
Listening to his secretary's nonsense, Mayor Delmon wanted to slap him.
"That's Starlight Technology!"
Although most people in the Kingdom of Liberl had no idea what kind of company Starlight Technology was, as the mayor, Delmon knew that it could cooperate with Chase Central Workshop. No matter what he did, it was not someone that a small-time Mayor Luan could afford to offend.
But Mayor Delmon couldn't accept letting it go. After all, he had invested so much money, and he would not be willing to lose money because of this orphanage.
simply……
Thinking of this, Mayor Delmon's face turned cold.
Let’s go all out and kill those annoying little devils in the orphanage!
