Chapter 586: The Pull of Fate

Upon hearing this, Dean Zhang shook his head.

"We tried it before, but it was stopped. Then the Red Cross allocated money, but the donations every year are either too little or delayed. It is very difficult."

Alas, these days, applying for relief money is extremely difficult.

Dai Qing felt sympathy for Dean Zhang as he looked at his helpless expression, but she could do nothing about it. When it came to money, it was easy to be caught because there were too many unspoken rules involved.

Unless there is institutional reform, it is almost impossible to bring about change through the efforts of one individual.

But when it comes to children, it is indeed hateful that some people are too indifferent.

"If Dean Zhang has connections, he can organize a charity dinner and try to get some companies to show their love, which can also be regarded as finding another way out for the children."

Hearing this, Dean Zhang shook his head.

"You know, in the eyes of businessmen, welfare homes are a place where you only lose money and never make money. No one will pay attention to us."

Since taking over the welfare home, she has tried countless methods, but all have had little effect. Now she can only rely on the little relief allocated by the Red Cross every year to barely make ends meet.

As long as there is profit to be made here, no one will pay attention to it.

"It's hard for small businesses and private companies to make money. They are lucky enough to protect their own employees. They don't have extra money to do charity. I don't have any connections with big companies. I can't even get through the door."

As long as she had a way, she would not be at a loss.

Dai Qing was silent for a moment, expressing her understanding.

"I seem to have heard someone say that if a company donates to a place in need, it can be exempted from some taxes, but I'm not sure about the details. I'll ask for you later... If you want to raise donations, the best way is to attend charity dinners. The really wealthy bosses are all there."

"If there is a charity dinner in the near future, I will try to get you a ticket. As for whether you can raise funds for the welfare home, that depends on your personal ability."

Upon hearing this, Dean Zhang's eyes lit up. He shook Dai Qing's hand and thanked her repeatedly.

"That's great. It's a blessing for the children to meet such a kind-hearted person like Miss Dai. I'll leave you my phone number. If you have any news, just call me. Whether it works or not, you have to try your luck."

She had been running around all these years, and her face had become thicker. As long as she could get into the party, she would bring back some donations for the children.

While the two were talking, the fat lady suddenly came in happily holding Wuyou.

"Miss Dai, I brought Wuyou to you. Take a look at this child. Has he gained weight again?"

Dai Qing looked at the little girl's big round eyes. She had her fingers wrapped in her mouth and was eating delicious food.

"It has definitely grown a lot."

Dai Qing pinched her cheeks. The little girl noticed her, immediately reached out her hands, and threw herself into her arms, babbling.

"Not bad, little girl still remembers me."

Dai Qing took the child over. The little girl had a sweet milky scent on her body, and the child was well taken care of.

The fat lady was standing beside him, her eyes narrowed into slits due to her laughter.

"I feed her the milk powder you bought every day. She is getting enough nutrition and is growing fast."

"I can only buy some things, but I can't take care of the children. Auntie is more worried."

Dai Qing held Wuyou and played with him for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she handed the child to Auntie Pang and left.

Dean Zhang and Auntie Pang carried the child and sent Dai Qing to the gate. Dean Zhang glared at Auntie Pang as they watched her walk further and further away.

"Ms. Dai is a smart person. Don't play tricks in front of others next time."

Having her thoughts exposed by the dean, the fat aunt smiled embarrassedly.

"I also saw that Miss Dai and Wuyou have a connection, so I wanted her to take care of our orphanage for the sake of the children. Miss Dai is not an ordinary person. As long as she is willing, the children will definitely get better care. The director won't have to beg people for that little bit of relief money every day."

"This is my responsibility. When I take over the orphanage, I have to consider the children."

Dean Zhang smiled gently, turned to look at the little girl in the fat aunt's arms, and tapped her forehead.

"Fate is a very strange thing. How far we can go depends on whether this girl can hold Miss Dai's heart."

"I think so. Every time Miss Dai looks at Wuyou, her eyes are particularly loving, just like a mother looking at her own child."

Auntie Pang chuckled. That was why she brought Wuyou home. If they could build a relationship in advance, maybe one day Miss Dai would be kind enough to adopt the little girl.

Dai Qing didn't know what Auntie Pang was planning, so she took a taxi back home. Just a moment after she entered the house, the phone rang.

He Ning invited her to his house for dinner, saying that the meal was cooked by his mother herself and asked her to come and taste it.

He Ning's mother would cook for her personally, so Dai Qing would definitely not refuse.

Over the past few years, she and Wang Yu have become familiar with each other, and they can get along well and have the same ideas. He Ning often says sourly that they are real mother and daughter and she is an outsider.

Dai Qing thinks that they are like sisters. Who made her think so old?

After taking a hot bath and changing into light clothes, Dai Qing strolled to He Ning's house.

"Xiaoqing, you're here. Come and sit down. There's only one more dish left." Wang Yu, wearing an apron, greeted her with a smile.

"Auntie Wang, let me help you." Dai Qing handed the fruit to He Ning and followed her into the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up.

"Oh, no need, go out and sit down."

Wang Yu directly pushed Dai Qing out and asked He Ning to pour her tea and serve her some fruit.

"Sister Dai, please stop arguing with my mother. She treats you as her benefactor."

Hearing this, Dai Qing was stunned.

"What do you mean? How did you suddenly become my benefactor?"

"Of course it's because I've become successful. You may have heard how messed up I was before. Since I've been with you, I've become more knowledgeable, more positive, and surrounded by helpful friends. My mom even wakes up from her dreams with joy."

He Ning poured her a glass of water and explained with a smile. He is a world silver medalist. Although he is the second, he is also important.

Looking at his exaggerated expression, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing.

"That's because Auntie Wang taught you well. With strength and luck, it's hard not to fly."

Some people can be brought to power, in addition to luck, they also need strength and character. If they have all these, as long as the time is right, they can soar to the sky.

"Okay, the last dish, the pork elbow in rock sugar is out of the pot."

Wang Yu brought a plate of shiny pork elbows to the table.

“It takes a lot of time and effort to make this pork elbow, but it is tender, delicious, fragrant and not greasy.”

"My mother started preparing this meal in the morning. She also had to soak the brined beef and pork noodles for two hours after stewing them so that they would be more flavorful..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Wang Yu, who waved his hands at him in disgust.

"I'm treating Xiaoqing to dinner, so stop talking nonsense and quickly go get the wine I bought and pour it for Xiaoqing."
