Chapter 242
Jin Chaochao drew the layout of the orphanage and took the drawing home.
When Fu Tingyuan came back, he brought back a document.
He handed the file to Jin Chaochao and said, "The engineering team has found it for you. The designer also has it. Here is the engineering team's information and the contact information of the person in charge."
Jin Chaochao opened the document and glanced through it.
The people Fu Tingyuan found were very reliable, and she was very satisfied.

It has been about ten days since Wen Yan transferred to another school.
After lunch that day, everyone was in the classroom doing their homework.
Wen Yan gets along very well with his classmates. Everyone is having a great time and making the final effort for the college entrance examination.
Wen Qing lost a lot of face because of the book donation and kept a low profile in the classroom for several days.
In the morning, Wen Rong called Wen Qing to tell her that the books he donated would be delivered today.
He heard from Wen Qing that Jin Chaochao donated 100,000 books, so he gritted his teeth and increased the original 7,000 books to 70,000.
In order to save face, Wen Qing mustered up the courage to walk up to the podium and said to the students, "The books donated by my father will be delivered this afternoon. I will apply to the library then, and the students in our class will have priority to borrow them."
The students who were doing their homework looked up and said with a smile, "Really? That's great. This time, Sister Wen Yan donated a lot of books, but we couldn't borrow many of the ones we liked."
"What a pity! All 30 copies of my favorite Atlas of World Insects have been borrowed."
"Wen Qing, among the books your father donated, is there a copy of Monet's Manuscript? I want to read that, and all the new thirty copies were sold out."
"All three hundred sets of the hardcover review materials for senior high school students have been snatched up. If your father donated this book, I'll be the first to borrow it."
Wen Qing showed a proud look on her face, "Just wait, when you get there, just go and borrow it."
She looked at Wen Yan provocatively.
Wen Yan ignored her, lowered his head and continued studying. He had no time to argue with her.
No matter how much Wen Rong donates, it has nothing to do with her.
Everyone has the right to borrow books donated to the library.
Rushing to borrow books will increase students' enthusiasm for learning.
If everyone has a copy of a good book, there will be no passion for reading.
She now values time more, and the science tutoring Jiang Li gives her has helped her make rapid progress.
She is confident that she can rank among the top ten in the grade in the upcoming monthly exam.
In the afternoon, the books donated by Wen Rong arrived.
Two large trucks drove into the campus with great momentum.
When the teachers and students saw the newly donated books, they all showed happy expressions.
When unloading the goods, everyone was very motivated and even happier than the last time they received the donated books.
After all, when we received the book last time, we didn’t know it was so good, so today everyone is full of expectations for the new book.
After the books were put into the warehouse, the librarian looked at the list and was completely dumbfounded.
He hurried to find the principal and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Principal, look, this is the list of books."
The principal took a quick look and frowned, "These are all old editions of books, and they are all slow-selling books."
"That's right! There are not many novels by famous authors, and the textbooks are all old editions, and many are even pirated." The administrator's expression was a little ugly. "Although other people's donations of books are a little thoughtful, you can't be so perfunctory!"
Now compared with the previous batch of books, these books are simply garbage!
The principal immediately said, "Sort out the list and see how many books we can use."
The administrator spent two hours sorting out the available books. "Except for the five thousand volumes of Chinese classics, the rest are all pirated and inferior books, and there are even many romantic novels that were popular in the market a few years ago."
The principal sat in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.
This is a school library, which is more suitable for quality literary works, popular science books, knowledge accumulation, history, psychology and other books. It’s not that romance novels are bad, but they are not suitable for high school students to read. What's more, these were novels that were popular a few years ago, not the hot novels now.
There were two full carts, and 90 percent of the books were obsolete and unsaleable.
The quantity has indeed increased, but the quality is hard to describe.
The administrator was somewhat embarrassed and asked, "What should we do with these books?"
There is no point in reading obsolete and unsaleable books. What's the difference between them and waste paper?
The principal was so worried that his head was bald. "Then we will select them and put the ones that are readable on the shelves for students to borrow. The ones that are not readable will be put in the warehouse."
The administrator shook his head helplessly.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all the time he had been managing the library.
If you don't have much money, you can donate less, but using unsold books to make up the number is a bit too much.
When school was over in the afternoon, Wen Qing thought she would hear the principal's speech.
Who knows, nothing happened after school.
Wen Yan went home after school as usual and studied hard to prepare for the monthly exam.
The next day, someone spread the news that Wen Rong donated the unsaleable books.
The classmates looked at Wen Qing with naked mockery.
"It's so funny. If you can't afford it, then don't donate. Why do you have to bully us like this? We are high school students, not fools."
"When I was moving books the other day, I seemed to see 'The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me'. Wasn't this the popular romance novel about CEOs five years ago? The paper is yellowed and it's a pirated copy. Why doesn't the school put it on the shelves? I want to read it."
"Let me tell you, the Daodejing published by that rubbish publishing house has many errors in the annotations."
"It turns out that what we moved to the warehouse yesterday was a pile of waste paper. Our efforts were in vain."
Walking on the campus, you can hear the discussions of your classmates.
Wen Qing cried out of anger.
She didn't know why things turned out like this.
She called Wen Rong with trembling hands.
"Dad, have you carefully screened the books you donated?"
Wen Rong was puzzled. "I gave my secretary some money and asked her to buy 70,000 books. Do I need to select them?"
Wen Qing suppressed her anger and asked, "How much did you give?"
Wen Rong: "I spent two hundred thousand on these books. Why do you think it's too little?"
Wen Qing's eyes were red, and she cried and choked, "Mrs. Fu donated 100,000 books, and it is estimated that she spent about 3 million. You might as well donate 7,000 books, at least everyone can read them."
"Wen Qing, don't be ungrateful! Our Wen family donated 200,000 worth of books just to give you face, and this is your attitude." Wen Rong was obviously annoyed.
Jin Chaochao donated books on how much money she wanted, that was her ability.
The 200,000 yuan worth of books he donated also showed his good intentions.
If he didn't feel sorry for Wen Qing, he wouldn't have donated a penny.
How dare they complain that the book is not good enough?
Wen Qing could feel Wen Rong's anger and dared not say a word.
After hanging up the phone, she wiped away her tears and could only swallow the pain.
After all, she is not the Wen family's biological daughter, so it is impossible for them to be devoted to her.
If she had known that Mrs. Fu was so nice, she should have agreed to work as a servant in her house. If she had gone then, she would be the one enjoying it now.
Wen Qing couldn't hold her head up anymore at school.
