Andy arrived at the hospital and knocked on the ward door.
The two patients with fractures in bed were unable to open the door.
"Come in, come straight in," the square-faced bodyguard shouted.
When the person opened the door and came in, seeing Andy holding a bouquet of flowers, the square-faced bodyguard immediately rang the doorbell.
The nurse rushed over: "What happened?"
The square-faced bodyguard pointed at Andy: "Please, help me get rid of this guy!"
The nurse was in a difficult position.
"If you don't kick him out, I'll call the police and have them come and take him away!"
Fearing the police would arrive and cause a commotion, the nurse could only say apologetically to Andy, "Sir, your friend might not be too welcoming. He needs time to recover. Please come back another time."
Andy smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The nurse was surprised that this gentleman was not only handsome but also so polite and courteous.
"May I put down the flowers I'm holding? They're for that lady."
"Sure, sure." Because he had readily agreed to leave, the nurse also readily agreed to his request.
"No! I don't want your flowers, take them away!" the dean roared.
Andy looked hurt: "I didn't expect you to have such a big prejudice against me."
Andy handed the flowers to the nurse: "Since she doesn't want them, I can only give them to you. If you don't need them either, please throw them away for me, thank you."
"These flowers are so beautiful, I can't bear to throw them away, thank you!"
Andy smiled slightly and left the ward.
He came as if to admire his spoils, and left after looking at them.
Han Fei came over with a lunchbox and, seeing the flowers on the table, asked in confusion, "Has someone been here?"
The dean was furious and told her about Andy's visit, how she had captivated the nurse, leading the nurse to forcibly place flowers on her desk and even "lecture" her.
The director said worriedly, "I've left the orphanage, and the higher-ups might send someone to temporarily take my place."
Han Fei narrowed his eyes.
Is it coming?
The person who sent the children away one by one.
If this person hadn't failed to properly verify the adoptive parents' information, none of the subsequent tragedies would have occurred.
"Then I'll have to meet this temporary dean."
...
It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Instead of transferring a new director, someone was selected and promoted from among the existing teachers at Ping'an Orphanage to temporarily serve as director.
Wang Na sat in the dean's office, reaching out to touch the dean's old, creaky chair that he had sat on for a long time.
"Now that I've been given this seat, I'm not going to give it up easily."
"This chair is really old. I wish we could get a new one."
A foreign couple came to the orphanage.
"We want to adopt a little girl."
"Ideally, she should be cute; the eyes are the windows to the soul, and her eyes should be clean and beautiful."
Wang Na looked troubled: "Given your circumstances, you are not eligible to adopt."
"We really love Chinese children. Please, give us a chance. We promise to treat our children well!"
"We can't have children, but we really love children! We'd love to adopt a child from China!"
"I'm so sorry," Wang Na said, but she still saw the two of them out.
The next day, outside the dean's office, a teacher called out, "Dean, you have a package! It's huge!"
The dean arrived at the hospital gate: "Is this my package?"
"Are you Wang Na? We need to verify your phone number, 13xxxx..."
"Yes, it's my phone number."
"This package was sent to you by a lady named Helen."
"Send it to my office first."
"Can."
After everyone left, Wang Na closed the office door and opened the box by herself.
It's a big one, the Herman Miller II Ergonomic Chair.
It looks like a thin layer of cloth, but it has a high load-bearing capacity. When she sits on it, her whole body is pressed against the chair, as if someone is gently supporting her bottom.
The gossipy teachers knocked on the door, eager to see what goodies the dean had received.
Before the door opened, the dean hid all the instruction manuals and other items, threw the box aside, and left only a chair.
The teachers came in and scrambled to sit down.
"This chair is so comfortable!"
"It must have cost several hundred, right?"
"Ergonomic chairs are quite expensive now, they might cost over a thousand."
As they discussed the chair, Wang Na smiled sarcastically: "They're all ignorant country bumpkins. This chair costs at least 15,000 yuan and is hard to find. It's reserved for successful people, like the president of a certain country, the richest man in a certain country, or a stock market guru."
In the afternoon, Helen, who had brought the gift, arrived at the dean's office. She was the woman from the couple who had been refused adoption the day before.
Helen saw that the dean was already seated and hadn't refused her gift, so it seemed like things were going well!
"Which child do you like?" Wang Na asked.
Helen handed a group photo to Wang Na: "My husband and I visited the children yesterday and brought some snacks and books. This child really likes the notebooks and has drawn many beautiful flowers in them. She has a lot of artistic talent. She has very beautiful eyes. We want to adopt her. She will have a better future in the arts if she goes abroad."
Wang Na tapped the table with her pen: "Okay, as long as the child agrees, I have no problem with that."
The dean asked someone to call the little girl over.
This girl is the one who asked Han Chengda for two servings of milk and snacks, and also the one who asked Xiao Liu for two notebooks.
"Would you like to go home with your new mother?" Wang Na asked.
The girl clutched the hem of her clothes and cautiously glanced at the foreign woman. She was actually quite scared because the foreign mother had green-blue eyes and blond hair, looking like a man-eating monster from an animated film.
"With your new mom, you can eat whatever you like, as much as you want. You can also learn to paint, learn to paint with great artists, and grow up to be a painter yourself..." Wang Na began to brainwash the child, making grand promises.
The little girl remembered what Xiao Liu had said: You can exchange it!
Later, she traded a cookie she didn't like for a notebook with a little boy who loved cookies.
She then realized that many things don't necessarily have to be asked for.
In fact, you can obtain it in a more dignified way. You can exchange it, using what you have, what you have extra of, or what you don't like to exchange for what you like, what you lack, or what you want to have.
The orphanage is better now than before. She can tell them what she wants to eat, and someone will bring it to her the next day. I heard that an old man arranged for someone to deliver it. He is a very kind old man.
She wanted gold watercolor pens, but the orphanage didn't have any gold ones in their watercolor pen boxes. She tried writing "gold watercolor pen" on a wish card, and sure enough, the next day, the old man sent someone to deliver a large box of gold watercolor pens.
She thought the orphanage was good now, and she didn't want to leave with someone who looked like a man-eating monster.
"I don't want to," the little girl said, mustering her courage.
"Slap!" A loud slap resounded.
The little girl covered her face and looked at the new director in disbelief.
Wang Na gritted her teeth and glared at her angrily: "You ungrateful wretch! Studying abroad is the dream of so many people, and you don't even know how to cherish it!"
“I’m telling you, you have no choice but to agree. If you don’t leave the orphanage with your new mother, believe me, you won’t have a good life in the orphanage.”
Wang Na lowered her voice and said in a sinister tone, "I'm in charge of the orphanage now. If I don't want you to have a good life, how can you expect to? I advise you to be obedient and go with your new mother."
