"Don't worry." Han Fei stood behind the dean, his gaze fixed intently on the departing figure.
Suddenly, the man turned his head sharply, but he only saw the dean.
He assumed the sharp gaze came from the dean and sneered, "Just an ant."
Han Fei was positioned so that the view was blocked by the door.
He could see Andy, but Andy couldn't see him.
The dean turned to look at the calm and kind old man, and said in a panic, "Mr. Han, you heard that? I almost forgot you were still here."
"Dean, close the door, let's continue drinking tea."
The dean really couldn't drink it, but seeing the composed old man, she nodded in agreement.
She poured Han Fei a full cup of tea and said respectfully, "Mr. Han, please drink your tea carefully, it's hot."
"Thank you." Han Fei took a sip of tea.
His voice was steady: "Ping'an Orphanage hasn't been repaired in a long time. I see that some of the children are quite old, and their clothes don't fit well. Their pants are like cropped pants. They should get some new clothes."
"It hasn't been repaired for five years," the director sighed. "Clothes and pants are all made to size; you can't have them custom-made. They're bound to be a little ill-fitting."
"I will personally invest 30 million to take good care of these children."
Han Fei wrote a check directly to the dean, unlike Andy who just verbally raised the price but didn't actually do anything.
The dean stared in disbelief at the check that was being pushed in front of him.
"Mr. Han, is it because of that gentleman that you acted impulsively? Please don't be impulsive. It doesn't cost that much. The repair fee and the new clothes won't cost much."
Han Fei laughed out loud, but his eyes became even more complicated.
Xiao Liu was adopted from here, which means that all seven children were sent to this orphanage.
Given the director's personality—such an honest person who would refuse money offered to him—he probably wouldn't have allowed those shady characters to adopt seven children.
In the end, the children were adopted and suffered mistreatment.
It's possible that Andy was the one who made the move.
Andy's threats failed, and the dean was murdered?
Han Fei's face darkened.
The dean thought he was angry and said in a low voice, "Mr. Han, I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that thirty million is a really big number. I'm afraid you're just acting on impulse."
She assumed it was just the rich man's bad temper acting up, and that he was unhappy because he had been rejected.
Han Fei shook his head: "Dean, it's not because of you."
"Is Mr. Han angry because of that person?"
Han Fei nodded: "I invested 30 million because I hope the children in the orphanage can have a better life."
“I think this money is enough for them to grow up safely. In a sense, all the children here are my children now. I don’t want anyone to adopt them. Director, do you understand what I mean?”
“I’m not like him, threatening you with words. I prefer to discuss things with you properly using money.”
The dean silently thought to himself: Yes, yes, you don't need to threaten me with words, just throw money at me!
However, the way the old man used money did not make her feel humiliated.
Unlike that gentleman from before, who added millions upon millions with an oppressive air, his cold indifference revealing contempt and dominance. His superior attitude was very unpleasant.
Mr. Han's original intention was the same as hers; she also hoped that the children could have a good life in the orphanage.
If the orphanage can afford to raise the children and provide them with a good education and life, she is willing to raise these children until they grow up and enter society.
Even after they enter society, the orphanage will still be their home, and she will always be their director and mother, welcoming these children home at any time.
She didn't really want the children to be adopted, not because she was selfish and wanted to keep them in an orphanage, but because there were too many examples of adopted children not having a good life.
For an orphanage, the chances are only a few percent, but for each child, becoming one of those few percent ruins their life!
“Mr. Han, I’ll accept the money and remember your words.”
"The children in the orphanage are all your children. They can't be adopted by just anyone!"
She hesitated, then said, "But I'm worried..."
"You're worried that the man just now put pressure on you."
"Yes, since he said this place will be demolished—"
Just as he finished speaking, the dean's phone rang.
After hanging up the phone, the dean looked somber: "He did it. He was forcing me."
"Is this place going to be demolished?" Han Fei asked.
The dean nodded: "I will receive compensation, but it will take some time for the funds to be transferred. I need to leave now."
Actually, with this 30 million yuan, the director isn't too worried. At worst, he can rent a place with the children and rebuild the orphanage when the compensation money comes through.
But I just don't feel right. Why are they forcing her like this? Does having power and influence make you so great?
Does having power and influence give you the right to break the rules?
She wouldn't even let a single child of such a person be adopted, let alone three! She was afraid the children would be led astray by him!
“I won’t give him even one of my children!” The director clenched his fist.
Han Fei looked at her, not doubting that she would indeed fight to the end and never yield, but...
In the original storyline, the children were still adopted.
Her insistence will only lead to destruction.
Since she's an obstacle, given Andy's personality, she'll definitely make sure this obstacle disappears completely.
Before saying goodbye to the dean, Han Fei wanted to leave his square-faced bodyguard behind.
The square-faced bodyguard had very mixed feelings.
He was rejected by the Third Young Master, but Old Master Han took him in. Now he's been handed over to an orphanage director. Is it because he's dissatisfied with his work?
"Don't worry, I'll still pay her salary, not a penny less. Just protect her."
"Yes, sir!"
The dean repeatedly declined, saying, "No need, really no need..."
"Your persistence will only bring you danger; that person is someone who will not give up until he achieves his goal."
"I'm not afraid of him!" the director retorted, "Don't even think about taking any child away from me!"
Han Fei sighed: "If you die, he can take all the children in the orphanage with him!"
The dean's pupils dilated in shock, his voice trembling: "He... he can kill people?"
"I don't know, safety first, take care of yourself."
The dean stopped chasing the bodyguard away and instead leaned closer to him, whispering, "Little bodyguard, you'd better protect your sister. I'm a good cook, I'll make sure you have a good meal!"
Square-faced bodyguard: "...Dean, you're wearing perfume? You're too close, it's suffocating me!"
The headmistress blushed and said, "It was the kids who sprayed it randomly. It's cheap stuff, so it's a bit pungent. I'm sorry."
The square-faced bodyguard said coldly, "I have a lot of perfumes that my former employer gave me when he went on business trips. I'm a man and I don't need them. I'll bring them all next time and give them to you so the kids can play with something better. Cheap stuff isn't good for their health."
Seeing that they got along well, Han Fei turned and left to find his eldest grandson.
Surprisingly, besides the eldest grandson, the youngest grandson was also there!
"Little Six, what brings you here too?" Han Fei patted his head.
Xiao Liu gently nuzzled Han Fei: "Grandpa, I was shopping for clothes for my sister when I passed by here. I remembered that my older brother was here, so I came!"
"How many clothes did you buy for Xiaoqi?"
Xiao Liu spreads his arms wide: "So many!"
Bodyguard A added: "Young Master Liu, after entering the store, pick out three items you don't want, but keep everything else."
Bodyguard B added: "Young Master Liu regards money as dirt and spends it like water."
Han Chengda's eyes reddened. The children in the orphanage didn't even have clothes that fit, yet his younger brother was so wasteful!
Where did Xiao Liu get the money?
He looked at Xiao Liu, who had gone from being a stubborn mule to a docile and clingy kitten, and instantly understood!
It must have been given to him by the old man!
The old man is rich!
The old man will definitely be able to change the fate of these children!
Han Fei felt himself being locked onto by a pair of incredibly intense eyes. He turned around and met Han Chengda's bloodshot eyes.
Han Fei asked in surprise, "You've been crying?"
Han Chengda shook his head somewhat awkwardly: "No."
Xiao Liu whispered in Han Fei's ear, "An uncle who likes men wants to adopt three children. My older brother was furious when he found out. He's so angry he's practically red in the face."
An uncle who likes men? Andy?
Han Fei frowned deeply and gave Xiao Liu a strange look.
Xiao Liu tilted his head, puzzled: "Grandpa, the way you're looking at me is so strange, like you're looking at a poor little thing."
Han Fei chuckled and patted his head: "You bought so many clothes for your sister, but you didn't buy a single one for yourself. Aren't you a pitiful little thing? Come on, Grandpa will take you to buy clothes!"
Little Liu waved his little hand: "I have enough clothes!"
Han Chengda hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Han Fei's hand: "Grandpa, take me to buy some clothes that fit the children."
Han Fei was startled when he was held by those sweaty hands and heard the word "Grandpa"!
"You called me? What?"
"Grandpa! Aren't you my grandpa?" Han Chengda said somewhat awkwardly, "I lost the bet last time, and you opened an entertainment company and have now made Xiao Wu famous. I should have called you grandpa long ago."
“Grandpa, they are so pitiful. Many of the children’s clothes are worn out by the older children, and if they are not worn out, the younger children will take them and wear them. Some of them have holes in them, but they are still wearing them. Their shoes are obviously too small, and their toes are bleeding from being rubbed raw, but they are still wearing them…”
Han Fei remained silent.
So that's why he called himself grandpa, it was for the sake of these orphans?
Isn't that a bit insincere?
Well, it's better than still calling myself "Grandpa" in a distant way.
The dean walked over and said with a smile, "Student, don't worry. Mr. Han has already donated 30 million. I will buy the children new clothes that fit well, and the shoes will definitely fit too."
"Thirty million!" Han Chengda looked at Han Fei in disbelief: "Really?"
Han Fei nodded.
Han Chengda's eyes welled up with tears, and he called out again, "Grandpa!"
Han Fei sensed that there was some sincerity in that "Grandpa".
Han Fei handed him a tissue: "You're such a grown man, why are you crying? Your classmates are watching, they'll laugh at you."
