President Yu smiled and said, "President Yan is a good man. Our company is not only involved in multiple industries, but we have also established a charitable fund. Every year, we donate a large amount of our dividends to charity. The financial aid for children who drop out of school is not just for Red Star Village. Many people in Beijing and other provinces have also received the aid. This aid is unconditional."
"Really? There is such a good thing?" Village chief Wang never expected that the children in the village would be sponsored for free. He thought that the money would be earned back from the children. This was truly unexpected. It seemed that people really did good deeds without expecting anything in return.
"It's true. Our company has a long list of sponsors, and every year the dividends we give to the foundation are completely spent. However, President Yan and his wife don't feel bad at all. They've been doing this year after year since the foundation, without stopping the dividends." President Yu praised sincerely, "Our President Yan and his wife are truly kind-hearted. I heard that his wife saw many children who had dropped out of school and couldn't afford to continue their education. She felt sorry for them, so she proposed establishing a charitable foundation to help them get back to the life they deserve, free of charge."
Studying is indeed a very good way out for children from poor families.
Village chief Wang nodded repeatedly. If this could really be accomplished, the Yan family would truly be a family of great virtue.
"A strong youth makes for a strong country, and a prosperous youth makes for a prosperous country," President Yu continued, "This is what my wife said. She particularly hopes that our country will be full of talented people. Many families cannot send their children to school due to financial reasons. As a result, many good children and future talents are missed out. My wife hopes to reduce this situation and help as many people as possible, to the best of her ability."
Village chief Wang nodded frequently, nodding for every word he said; as if he had finished speaking, he was filled with emotion.
"Mrs. Yan is a person with great love. There are seven or eight families in our village who have dropped out of school. To be honest, if possible, I would also like to help them." Village chief Wang shook his head and sighed. Wasn't he regretful?
"But my family is like this, with so many children, I can't help even if I want to. I can only watch good children miss out on the opportunity to study. Comrade Xiao Yan and his wife have really helped the village a lot this time."
Mr. Yu nodded slightly, confirming that this was indeed the case. "We'd like to first inquire about the specific circumstances of the dropout families in the village so that we can write a report. Once this is reported, Mr. Yan will review it and confirm it. Once he signs it, the funds will be transferred to me."
He didn't say he was solely responsible for this.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please sit down and I'll explain it to you in detail."
Village Chief Wang invited a few people to sit down, and then said to his wife, "Go and cook. Keep a few of you for lunch."
"No, Village Chief, we won't have dinner here. After things are settled, we will go to visit Mr. Yan's home." Before, I didn't know that Mr. Yan lived here, nor did I know that the old man and his wife lived in Hongxing Village. Now that I know, it would be unreasonable not to visit him.
"It's the same if you visit after dinner. Right now, only the old man and a few children are at the Yan family. Mrs. Yan has gone to work. She won't be back until she gets off work in the evening, so you won't see her even if you go." Village chief Wang privately thought that the man wanted to visit Mrs. Yan. That lady was full of temperament and was truly... standing in the village, she was definitely more impressive than anyone else.
It’s not that he’s trying to suppress others on purpose, but even though his aura is restrained, it’s still very outstanding.
Mr. Yu said with a cheerful smile, "Madam is a very busy person. I won't be able to see her if I visit her during the day. It would be nice if I could just see the old man."
Village Chief Wang then realized that he had misjudged the person, but fortunately he did not say it out loud.
"Is that rude?"
"You're welcome, village chief. We'll have many more opportunities to meet in person when we work together in the future." Now that I've taken on this matter and the funding has begun, it's normal to deal with the village chief.
"Okay, let me first tell you about the eight families in the village whose children dropped out of school."
Mr. Yu made an invitation gesture, "Please come in."
"There aren't many families in Hongxing Village, but eight of them have children who've dropped out of school. I'm guilty of my dereliction of duty, and I'm ashamed of myself." Village Chief Wang said a few polite words before getting to the point. "The eight families in the village are the Nie, Xu, Chen, and Xu families. Three Nies, two Xu and Chen, and only one Xu are facing difficulties. These eight are the hardest hit right now."
"For various reasons, their families are struggling, either with no income or unkind elders. It might be presumptuous of me to say this, but I must say what I need to say." Village Chief Wang said, "They're truly struggling! They even have to count their meals. These days, every household has seen some improvement, but these few are the only ones facing such extreme hardship that they only have one set of thick clothes in the winter..."
The more he spoke, the more embarrassed Village Chief Wang looked. "Don't worry, the families I told you about are indeed in great difficulty. If their children don't hinder their future, they may still have a chance to turn things around. I'll give you a list of names, you can check it out. I won't fool you."
In order to get this kind help, he didn't care about his face.
"As far as I know, the industry that Mr. Yan set up in Zhongguancun is also recruiting people in Hongxing Village, right?" Because there are relatives in Hongqi Village, they will inevitably hear some news about several villages during the New Year holidays, which makes many people envious.
Village Chief Wang said, "Yes, we have recruited two families. I recommended them. These two families are from poor families, but they are very good people. However, there are only two jobs available, and there are many people with good character in our village."
I can help one, but I can't help all.
Mr. Yu understood and said, "I understand. Mr. Yan must have guessed this situation, so he wanted to help the village."
"I have to thank Comrade Xiao Yan very much. He and Old Man Yan are both very good people, and his wife is also a good person!" He never hesitates to praise those who have helped the village. Now that he is old, he can say good things without hesitation.
Mr. Yu nodded in satisfaction and winked at his assistant, "You and the village chief should write down the list of children. We'll report it when we get back."
"Okay, Mr. Yu." The assistant was very perceptive and took out a pen and paper from his bag. "Village Chief, please describe the situation in detail. How difficult is their family's situation? How many people are there? What are the ages of the men and women? How many children have dropped out of school? I'll record it for you."
Village Chief Wang quickly responded and explained the situations of the various families to his assistant. The three Nie families were the most difficult. The Nie family also faced the problem of unkind elders, as parents always favored their children. The three Nie families were the ones who weren't favored. Their families were in dire straits, and they even faced the situation of an elderly man who had to support several sons to support another.
The Nie family hasn't had any major conflicts in recent years, they are really tolerant.
