At about ten o'clock, Xu Nanzhi and Jiang Huaibei arrived at the venue.
The Jiang family was the organizer of this event, so Jiang Huaibei went over to give a speech first.
The next step is to auction the paintings drawn by children in the mountainous areas and donate money to them.
The children who came today were all representatives sent from the mountainous areas. They were inevitably a little restrained in such a grand occasion.
Xu Nanzhi stood below and watched the expressions of the children.
She turned around and asked the staff in charge of the venue to get her some chocolates.
When the children came down, Xu Nanzhi walked up to them and smiled at them: "Hello, kids?"
Then give them the chocolate in your hand.
These children had an impression of Xu Nanzhi. They had just met this sister with their team leader. She gave them a large sum of money and spoke gently.
"Sister, hello."
Xu Nanzhi smiled and said, "These chocolates are for you. The song you sang on the stage just now was really beautiful. This is a reward."
Xu Nanzhi's smile is so kind that it makes people want to get closer to him.
Among these people, the little girl in the lead looked at herself, then looked at Xu Nanzhi, and then carefully took the chocolate from Xu Nanzhi's hand.
One could even notice that when she was there, she tried her best to avoid contact with Xu Nanzhi. Xu Nanzhi saw all of this and felt a little distressed.
These so-called sponsors are here, dressed in expensive gowns and talking attentively, while these sponsored children are wearing their best clothes to greet the sponsors' gazes and the obvious sympathy and compassion.
This huge gap requires them to have a very strong heart, because in their eyes, these sympathetic eyes are a guarantee for them and even other friends.
Although they are sponsors, at this moment, Xu Nanzhi still wants to do his best to make these children feel more comfortable.
"How old are you this year?"
The leading girl took the chocolate and shared it with the other children, then answered Xu Nanzhi's question: "Sister, I am 10 years old this year."
This surprised Xu Nanzhi a little, because she looked like a child less than eight years old.
The whole person is thin and yellow.
He raised his hand, ready to touch her hair, but the little girl dodged it.
Xu Nanzhi's hands froze in the air. The little girl looked at it and panicked: "Sister, I, I just feel a little dirty."
Xu Nanzhi felt distressed when she heard this. She lowered her hand and touched her hair: "You look very beautiful today. You are like a little angel when you sing."
"I want to make friends with the little angel, so, is the little angel happy to be my friend?"
As he spoke, Xu Nanzhi extended his hand towards her.
The little girl looked at Xu Nanzhi's outstretched hand with some hesitation, but finally, under Xu Nanzhi's expectant gaze, she stretched out her hand.
In an instant, Xu Nanzhi smiled, and in the eyes of the little girl, he looked extremely beautiful.
She thought to herself, this sister must be a fairy.
"Hello, my name is Xu Nanzhi. May I know the name of this little angel?"
Meeting Xu Nanzhi's gaze, the little girl said, "Hello, sister. My name is Li Ruonan."
"Ruonan?" This name made Xu Nanzhi stunned.
The little girl explained: "I am the only girl in my family. Besides my parents, my grandparents hope that I can be like a boy in the future."
Xu Nanzhi felt sad after hearing this explanation.
She knew that in many mountainous areas, and even in other places, the situation for girls was not very good. Either they had multiple children just to have a boy, or the names of girls were mostly chosen casually.
There are even many Zhaodi.
Although Xu Nanzhi has lived a wealthy life since childhood, she can still empathize with such a situation.
The old man had said more than once how nice it would be if she were a boy, how nice it would be if she had a younger brother.
While affirming her, there will always be some regrets.
If Old Xu hadn't seen this, I'm afraid that if he had followed his grandfather's approach, he would have really made Old Xu have another younger brother.
However, even though Old Xu did not follow the old man's request, the Xu family now has a male heir of this generation as the old man wished.
No one knew that the reason she was praised so much since she was a child was to prove to the old man that she was no worse than any other boy.
Whether it's taking over the family business or coming out on top, she is the best.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Xu Nanzhi slowly said, "Ruonan, what do you think?"
The little girl shook her head: "I don't know either, but my grandparents have worked very hard, so I hope I can give them a better life in the future."
Looking at her, Xu Nanzhi said, "Then you should study hard. In the future, you will definitely let your grandparents live a good life."
"Besides, excellent people are actually not divided by gender."
Xu Nanzhi originally had a lot to say to her, but after looking into her eyes and thinking about it, he decided not to say it.
After all, she is just a child.
Seeing their team leader coming over, Xu Nanzhi smiled and said to the others, "You too, must study hard. Once you are able to get into a university in Beijing, you will be like these brothers and sisters who are here today."
Although this may be a bit exaggerated, for these children, expectations are more important than anything else.
Although many of those who came today are children of wealthy families, there are also some who have made it on their own, but they are still in the minority.
"Ms. Xu, thank you very much for your donation." The teacher leading the team was a middle-aged woman.
Xu Nanzhi smiled at her and said, "It's just my humble contribution. Besides, these children are very cute. I like them very much."
Afterwards, looking at her, Xu Nanzhi took the initiative to say: "Would it be convenient for you to add a contact number? If you have any financial problems in the future, you can contact me."
The woman looked at Xu Nanzhi with some surprise, and seeing her serious expression, she said, "Of course, Ms. Xu. Thank you so much."
The two people added each other's contact information, and Jiang Huaibei walked towards Xu Nanzhi.
"Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Huaibei nodded to her.
Then he said to Xu Nanzhi: "It's getting late, it's almost time for us to leave."
Xu Nanzhi glanced at the hungry time and nodded: "Okay."
Afterwards, she said to the children, "Sister is leaving first. See you next time."
After getting in the car, Jiang Huaibei looked at Xu Nanzhi and asked, "Do you like those kids very much?"
“They’re cute.”
