After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Xiaoli spoke up, "Chengcheng, can you give me your contact information? I want to sponsor him."
"Sponsor him?" Yan Chengcheng was a little taken aback.
She nodded and said, "Maybe his experience resonated with me. My dad sacrificed his life when I was 8 years old. The relatives on my mom's side who were so good to us changed their attitude just as quickly."
My mom is incredibly strong and has worked hard to raise me. We also have people like Uncle Xiao who constantly care about us. If it weren't for that, I might be in a similar situation to your neighbor's child.
Hearing about his family's situation touched me deeply, so I'll consider this an act of kindness for the day.
The four of them were stunned. When they met Jiang Xiaoli, she was a gold medalist in the International Mathematical Olympiad, a top scorer in the college entrance examination, and the founder of "Jiang Li Ji".
Although she grew up in a single-parent family, she is surrounded by various accolades, so no one would think she is "miserable".
Yan Chengcheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This kid is my neighbor. It's not your turn to do a good deed every day. I also want to do some good deeds."
Hu Jingxin interjected at this moment, "It's as if you two are the only great philanthropists. Count me in too."
Chang Yue and Ren Zhiyi also expressed their willingness to contribute their love and care.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoli said, "How about we sponsor him under the name of '307'?"
The others had no objections, and Yan Chengcheng nodded as well.
She asked, "But this kid seems pretty stubborn. How can we persuade him to accept our funding?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "It's normal to have a strong sense of self-esteem when faced with adversity. In that case, let's just rephrase it."
We sponsored him to finish high school and college and provided him and his mother with a living allowance.
After he graduates, he'll need to repay this debt or work for "307" for five years. What do you think?
The others thought about it and had no objections, but Yan Chengcheng raised her hand and asked, "What if he still wants to drop out of school and work?"
Ren Zhiyi suddenly laughed. She hugged him and said, "Then you should tell him how much money you made after you got into Peking University, and ask him how long it would take him to earn the same amount of money you've made in the past two years after dropping out of junior high school and working."
Hu Jingxin couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, although the idea of 'knowing' isn't representative, it should be enough to fool a middle school student, right?"
Yan Chengcheng chuckled, "Alright, I'll call back later and ask."
Jiang Xiaoli continued to turn to the page she had just been looking at and finished reading the establishment plan for the fast-moving consumer goods brand.
She went through the whole process in her mind and said, "Qian Yi's plan is fine, but it's not bold enough. The number of stores set up in the early stages is too small, which makes it inconvenient for us to do publicity and promotion. I think we can take bigger steps."
Chang Yue frowned. "But wouldn't that be too risky?"
Ren Zhiyi suggested, "Xiao Li, how about we do some market research first, and then decide on the number of stores once we've determined the current customer needs?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Okay, while we wait for the market research results, we can do other preparatory work. The design department will have to work overtime again."
After discussing everything, Yan Chengcheng called home and asked her mother to go next door and invite Gu Chuan, whom they wanted to help, to their house.
When Gu Chuan first heard that they wanted to sponsor him, he refused without thinking. Yan Chengcheng quickly followed Ren Zhiyi's suggestion.
"How much can a kid like you, who only graduated from junior high school, earn in a month? 500 yuan? 1000 yuan? Do you know how much a student from Peking University like me can earn in a month? More than ten times that!"
After a long silence, Tanikawa slowly said, "Sister Chengcheng, I know this is your kindness, but I cannot accept this favor at the moment, so I'm sorry, I cannot accept your and your classmates' financial assistance."
Jiang Xiaoli said directly, "Gu Chuan, the money we're providing isn't a gift to you, it's just a loan. As long as you study hard, you'll graduate soon and be able to pay us back."
Like me, I only spent four years in high school and college combined. You can ask Chengcheng if you don't believe me. Are you unwilling to accept this because you think you're not good enough, or because you think you won't be able to repay the money later?
The 15-year-old boy was provoked by her two sentences and retorted, "I can!"
She chuckled, raised an eyebrow at Yan Chengcheng, and handed the phone back to her.
A moment later, Yan Chengcheng hung up the phone and high-fived the others to celebrate, "It's settled! This guy is quite serious, he insisted that I go back and sign an agreement with him. I'll go back tomorrow, I've really become a frequent flyer these past two days."
Jiang Xiaoli patted her shoulder, "You've worked hard. When you come back, I'll invite you to my house for dinner. My mom will cook for you."
Yan Chengcheng's eyes lit up. "Really? Auntie is feeling much better?"
She nodded. "It's much better than last year. We can't keep stopping her from being active all the time."
Ren Zhiyi said regretfully, "The two sweaters that Auntie knitted are really beautiful, but they are too labor-intensive. Otherwise, they would definitely be a bestseller after they are launched."
Chang Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let me tell you, during the Spring Festival at home, I told my mom that Xiao Li's sweater was covered in roses."
My mom said categorically that the sweater couldn't possibly look like that, but then I pulled out a photo of us together, and Xiaoli was wearing that sweater that day..."
"Hahaha." Hu Jingxin laughed non-stop. "Xiaoyue, is it really okay for you to embarrass your aunt like this!"
After laughing and joking around for a while, they decided to leave work early and go home.
On the way, Chang Yue suddenly thought, "Xiao Li, I heard from Brother Dafu that you designed the decoration of your house yourself back in Xijing, and you even provided a decoration design plan for a high-end residential building. Is that true?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Yan Chengcheng exclaimed exaggeratedly, "My goodness! Xiaoli, interior design, fashion design, what other surprises do you have in store for us?"
She couldn't help but chuckle. "There are so many! You'll have to discover them slowly!"
Chang Yue asked excitedly, "Xiao Li, the house that Cheng Cheng and I bought will be handed over soon. Can you help me with the design then?"
Jiang Xiaoli snapped her fingers. "You trust me so much, how could I bear to refuse?"
Yan Chengcheng immediately snuggled against her, "Xiao Li, I want you to design something for me too..."
She agreed to everything, "Okay, okay, but let me make it clear in advance, don't blame me if you're not satisfied with the design!"
Chang Yue said with a smile, "No, no, don't be surprised, just keep designing!"
Yan Chengcheng also said, "Xiao Li, you can read my mind, you must know what kind of person I like!"
Jiang Xiaoli pushed her away with disdain, "I politely declined. I don't want to be a tapeworm."
Hahahaha.
