C248 Do You Have Any Shame
"Dean Yao, if it wasn't for you taking me in, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have now."
As the woman spoke, she took out some money from her bag.
"This is a little token of my appreciation. Thank you and the orphanage for raising me that year. I hope you don't mind it."
Dean Yao was a little embarrassed and pushed the money back.
"Hsiao Qing, I did not take you in that year to get your money..."
"Director, I know you didn't do it to get my money. But I have the ability now. It is only right that I return to feed the orphanage." Hsiao Qing said with a smile.
"This..." Dean Yao hesitated for a moment.
All these years, the children who grew up in the orphanage grew up one after another.
Many of them also participated in work.
However, most of the abandoned children had some illnesses in their bodies.
As a result, when they participated in work now, most of them could only do basic jobs such as waiters or massage technicians.
Hsiao Qing, on the other hand, had mixed up.
Not only did she find a white-collar job in a high-end office building, but she was also rumored to have just been promoted to supervisor.
Now that she had returned to donate some money to the orphanage, it was only natural for her to do so?
"Since that's the case, I'll take the money first. Later, I'll use all of it for the follow-up construction of the orphanage"
After Dean Yao said that, he prepared to keep the money properly.
Unexpectedly, Hsiao Qing suddenly stretched out her hand to block it.
"Director, I donated money to our orphanage. You don't have anything to say?"
"Yes?" Dean Yao was a little confused.
Donating money meant donating money. What else was there to express?
Could it be that he still wanted to give her a big red flower?
"I'm donating money, you can't possibly let me donate it for free, right? It would be best if you could get me a banner or something. On it, there were words such as' charity, 'and' helping others to have fun '. Only then will the others know that I've donated money to you!" Hsiao Qing said.
Dean Yao's expression froze for a moment.
He looked at the money Hsiao Qing donated on the table. It was only 300 yuan in total.
It was like she was sending a beggar away, yet she deliberately asked him for a banner?
How dare she!!
"That... Hsiao Qing, making a banner now costs more than a hundred dollars. You see... Can you save it this time? When you donate it in the future, I will accumulate it and make it for you?" Dean Yao tried to negotiate.
After all, there was only a total of 300 yuan.
Spending more than 100 yuan to make a banner, the rest of the money fell on every child in the orphanage, perhaps not even a single coin.
He... really couldn't do such a thing.
"How can that be!"
Hsiao Qing immediately rejected his suggestion, "Since I have donated, no matter how much I donate, you have to make a banner for me. You must not accumulate until next time."
Otherwise, wouldn't she have suffered a loss?
"Hsiao Qing, this..." It was rare for Dean Yao to have such a rare bald head.
Over the years, he had received donations from many people.
There were many, but there were also a few.
However, there had never been a person like Hsiao Qing who asked for the banner!
"Dean Yao, return the money to her." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Dean Yao turned his head and saw Lu Qi walking in with Tian.
"Qi, you are here? Sit, sit, sit!"
Dean Yao was very happy and quickly personally made a cup of hot tea for Lu Qi.
"I heard Tian say you were coming. I thought he was joking. I didn't expect you to really come now."
Lu Qi nodded slightly.
Her cold gaze swept across the three bills on the desk.
"This is your so-called donation?" She cast a sidelong glance at Hsiao Qing.
Hsiao Qing met her eyes and felt a little guilty.
"So... so what?"
She calculated that she and Lu Qi could be considered old acquaintances.
Back then, Lu Qi was still young, and Chen Qingquan had been busy with the internal affairs of the Mystic Gate, so he was often not at home for a few months.
In order to avoid starving to death, Chen Qingquan would send Lu Qi to the orphanage as soon as he went far away.
Over time, Lu Qi became familiar with the children in the orphanage.
Hsiao Qing was also one of them.
However...
For so many years, Hsiao Qing and Lu Qi's relationship had never been good.
Firstly, Lu Qi had relatives who loved her.
Secondly, Lu Qi had been pretty since she was young and learned things quickly.
And these things were all things Hsiao Qing did not have.
Hence, she was madly jealous of Lu Qi.
Furthermore, whenever there was a chance, she would fabricate lies and slander Lu Qi in the orphanage.
However, for some reason, Lu Qi could turn bad luck into good luck almost every time.
On the contrary, if she provoked Lu Qi, she would become especially unlucky during that period of time.1
At the very least, she would have nightmares every night.
At the worst, she would fall into the abandoned well behind the orphanage and almost drown.
As a result, after so many years, when she saw Lu Qi again, she still subconsciously felt a little afraid.
"Do you know how much the director spent to raise you to 18 years old?" Lu Qi drank the tea on the table and asked faintly.
Hsiao Qing said, "I... I am not an accountant. I... How would I know!"
Lu Qi slightly hooked her lower lip and turned her eyes to look at Dean Yao.
"Children of the orphanage, calculated by the monthly allowance of 500 yuan per person. It is 6,000 yuan per year. You raised her for 18 years, the money you spent on her, the money you spent on her, the money you spent on her, the money you spent on her, the money you spent on her, the money you spent on her... That should be $108,000 in total. This number did not include finding a teacher for her. And... Give her the doctor's fee. Now, she was willing to spend 300 yuan to buy off this debt of gratitude. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Qi, don't... Don't talk about this..." Dean Yao's voice was a little choked up.
Actually, compared to other children, she poured the most money and time into Hsiao Qing.
Back then, when she had just picked up Hsiao Qing, Hsiao Qing had a very serious respiratory disease.
But she still raised Hsiao Qing.
She raised her well and did her best.
The one time Hsiao Qing had the deepest impression was that she was almost sick. She braved the heavy snow and sent Hsiao Qing to the hospital to take a look.
Because she was in a hurry and did not bring enough money, the doctor was not willing to treat her.
She had no choice. In the end, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the doctor, begging the doctor to save Hsiao Qing.
The doctor was moved. Under the circumstances where he did not pay enough money, he performed the surgery for Hsiao Qing in advance and saved his life.
Regarding this, she had never thought of letting Hsiao Qing repay anything.
But... She never would have thought that Xiao Ting would actually donate 300 yuan today.
She even risked her life to ask for a banner, as if she wanted to put on a show.
Only now did she feel that all the care and love she had given Hsiao Qing for so many years had been fed to the dogs!
"Whether it is suitable or not, what is the matter with returning it to you! You didn't even donate a single cent. What right do you have to point fingers at my donation here?" Seeing that Lu Qi was about to tear down her own table, Hsiao Qing did not even have the time to be afraid.
One must know that this time, the company was selecting a project manager.
She and another colleague were the most likely to be promoted.
In a situation where both performance and ability were about the same, the two of them had never been able to determine the victor.
Thus, she chose to be biased and set her sights on other aspects.
For example, doing charity and getting a few banners to make the company feel that she was a responsible and caring person, so that they could promote her to the project's newest person-in-charge without worry.
