Chapter 1447: Chapter 1015: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 23 (five thousand)_2
As expected, upon hearing there was such an agreement, those who truly wanted to study showed no hesitation, while those attempting to use studying as a guise for trickery stayed away.
After being screened, the investigated individuals were indeed all genuinely eager to study and were good kids.
Besides donating scholarships, they also chose particularly needy schools to donate book corners to, allowing more children to learn about the splendor beyond the mountains.
Sure enough, the establishment of this foundation garnered her a lot of new fans.
Many people said that the establishment of this foundation was very meaningful and wasn’t for show; it was genuinely doing public welfare. Fans follow the lead, and more and more caring individuals joined in. She ensured that every cent was spent where it mattered, with reports of every cent published.
Whenever there was a disaster, her foundation would make donations immediately. In addition to donations made in the foundation’s name, she would also donate personally, each time not falling behind others, thus showcasing the greatest value of an influencer.
With the foundation’s establishment, her team quickly expanded to over fifty people.
In the past six months, Qi Yong earned around twenty to thirty thousand yuan from working and transferred it to the old man via WeChat, showing clear signs of repentance.
Qi Qi, seeing that he was no longer as irresponsible as before, called him personally.
"I’ve noticed your changes. Now I’m giving you a chance to mend your ways. My scholarship foundation needs someone to go undercover for me, and I think you’re perfect for the job. However, this job is tough; it requires traveling all over the country, often on rough rural dirt roads that might not allow for driving and would need trekking over mountains."
Before she could finish, Qi Yong agreed without hesitation: "Sis, I’m willing, and thank you for giving me this opportunity. Rest assured, I will do my best. I’m grateful that you’ve raised the children so well. I’ve watched the videos Dad sent me; they’re adorable, clean, and beautiful, and they can sing nursery rhymes and recite Tang poetry. I... I don’t deserve to be their father. I was wrong, Sis, I really regret it, and I’ve wronged Mom."
Qi Yong cried, he sobbed uncontrollably over the phone. Even with her iron heart, she couldn’t resist his genuine repentance.
"Alright, the past is the past. I’m sure Mom wouldn’t want us to hold grudges. Use these meritorious deeds to make amends for your sins! Don’t you have a driver’s license? I’ll give you a phone number; you can contact them later and mention it’s for an interview."
For work purposes, their company constantly recruited local temporary workers for public welfare since outsiders unfamiliar with the area might end up making useless trips.
Letting Qi Yong tag along with these people a few times, he’d naturally integrate once familiarized, and there’s a project manager tasked with it now, so she’s not supposed to interfere.
Whether Qi Yong becomes appealing to them depends on his own fortune!
As for salaries, it would be discussed with the people under him, so she doesn’t need to intervene directly.
Qi Yong also understood what his sister’s ’interview’ represented, and he calmly accepted it.
To build Ah Dou up, he needs to familiarize himself with every aspect of her work, from traversing mountains and rivers as a public welfare worker to live streaming as a sales host. She hopes he becomes adept at everything so that in the future, he can truly become her right-hand man.
Good soup requires slow simmering to develop its flavor; as long as Qi Yong has the awareness to change, she isn’t bothered by the lateness of his repentance.
On November 8, 2028, Qi Qi turned thirty and took her family out for a seafood feast. Fortunately, no one was allergic to seafood.
Of course, Aunt Chen also went with them. She’s like family now and is brought along everywhere they go. Even her son, Deng Bin, is now a regular guest at their home. The children used to call him brother, but Aunt said it messed up the generations, so they now call him uncle instead!
Since Deng Bin is only a few years younger than Qi Qi, calling him little uncle was appropriate and seemed natural.
Deng Bin is often working overtime at Li Xingchen’s place, so he’s frequently unavailable when they eat here.
The old man didn’t know her birthday, and even Qi Yong didn’t. Men generally aren’t as meticulous as women in this regard.
Although her ID card states October 20, in reality, that’s her Lunar Calendar birthday, which translates to a date in November according to the Solar Calendar each year.
In her hometown, people still observe the Lunar Calendar for dates, unlike our generation, which prefers the Solar Calendar.
