"No!" The dean and Ken interrupted Xiaoke's thoughts at the same time, "You already escaped death last time, aren't you just looking to die if you go again?"
"Ah, then what should we do? We can't have a bunch of people here, can we? They sleep together every night, it's hard to even turn around … "Xiaoke said worriedly as she looked at the horrible environment," It's so hot, I'm afraid the kids might get heat rash … "
"Xiaoke sis, maybe you should go look for Lin Yi bro again?" Ken hinted, "Didn't he bring a bunch of donations to the orphanage last time?"
"That was already the limit. Most people have already donated money. How can we make things difficult for them again?" Xiaoke shook her head, "Plus, my relationship with Lin Yi isn't that good, he seems to look down on me … I don't want to trouble him …"
"Look down on him? I don't think so? "Ken thought. Look down on you and still go save you? How was that possible? Ah, this was a bit troublesome. He'd promised Lin Yi, but he couldn't tell Xiaoke, he could only hint at her, and she wouldn't understand …
"Xiaoke's right- we can't always trouble other people, we need to think of a way ourselves!" Ol 'Amos nodded and said, "He helped us once before. How can we trouble him again?"
"Oh …" Ken nodded, thinking that he should find a chance to call Lin Yi and ask him if he had any ideas. It seemed like Xiaoke sis was going to marry him in the future, so it was only right for him to do something for the orphanage now. Otherwise, how could he bring home the goddess of the orphanage?
Now, the ones with the biggest headache were Qibing and Cihua. They didn't have the mood to negotiate with the orphanage anymore, it was the same as looting a burning house, and giving the police something to use against them!
Of course, this wasn't the main thing- the main thing was that Qibing's new building was burnt down, and he couldn't help but curse his bad luck! Ever since he started his business, he hadn't done anything successful! His real estate business had been failing from the start!
Luckily, Elder Bi didn't care much about external things, and Cihua took all the responsibility, so Elder Bi didn't blame Qibing! After all, as far as he was concerned, Qibing was focused on practitioning now, leaving the company to his underlings. This was his underling's doing out of goodwill, but it had nothing to do with Qibing!
After the noble house meeting, Lin Yi and Yushu returned to Songshan. According to Lin Yi's promise with them, he was going to bring them to Starwest Village for a trip in August. (Holy Church)
Yutian, Lingshan, and Chentian, on the other hand, went back to their houses. The situation in the noble houses had changed, and they needed to go back and discuss countermeasures. In actuality, as Lin Yi's strength increased, so did his view of the world.
In his eyes, those noble houses that were high and mighty were nothing more than this now, so Lin Yi wasn't too enthusiastic about the Cultivator's Union. He was just making a name for it, and in actuality, his right and left hands were Chentian, Yutian, and Lingshan. As for their families, it was fine as long as they didn't cause trouble for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi received a call from Ken on the way back, and only then did he know that the orphanage was on fire, and now it was a pile of ashes! The funny thing was that Qibing's building was burnt down to a skeleton as well, and he had to tear it down and rebuild it.
"Ken, you're suspecting that the fire has something to do with Zhao Qibing?" Lin Yi understood what Ken was trying to say.
"We all suspect it, but we don't have any evidence, and their building was burnt down as well. That's their excuse!" Ken was a little mischievous, and he understood the situation very well.
"Oh, I don't need evidence to do things, so we need to ask them for money!" Lin Yi wasn't Lingshan, and he only needed to suspect!
Lin Yi thought, was this little bastard Zhao Qibing's leg itching again? Hadn't he broken it enough? It seemed like he had to find a chance to break it again!
At the mention of money, Ken said, "Male thief bro, can you support the orphanage with some money? You're a male thief, you must be rich … Or else, Xiaoke sis has to go on a mission again, and you don't want her to take the risk, do you?"
Ken was asking Lin Yi for money, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said it as if it was the right thing to do! From his perspective, Lin Yi wanted to marry Xiaoke, so he should at least give her some money, right?
"You know about it?" Lin Yi was a little surprised at Ken's analysis. It seemed like Xiaoke had told him about what happened that day.
"I guessed." Ken said, "How could there be such a coincidence? I just told you that Xiaoke sis was in trouble, and the male thief went to help her?"
"Ha …" Lin Yi smiled helplessly. How was he a male thief? A proper male thief would've died a long time ago, where would he get the money? But he still asked, "How much does the orphanage need?"
"I'm not sure … But rebuilding it might need a lot of money! Xiaoke sis and the dean are worried about it! "Ken said.
"Alright, I'll think of a way." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Lin Yi wasn't a nosy person, but with his relationship with Xiaoke, he couldn't just ignore it. Besides, Lin Yi had seen how hard it was for the children in the orphanage. Now that it was on fire, it must be even more difficult!
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Thank you, male thief bro!" Ken heard Lin Yi's agreement and was very happy.
"En, wait for my good news." Lin Yi said.
"Alright, thank you, male thief bro!" Ken thanked Lin Yi again, "Don't worry, I'll help you keep your identity a secret!"
"Haha, okay." Lin Yi was a little helpless towards Ken. Although his last sentence was almost a threat, meaning that if Lin Yi didn't help, he would tell Xiaoke his identity. But Lin Yi didn't dislike it at all because Ken wasn't doing this for himself. He was doing this for the orphanage, just like Xiaoke!
"Shield bro, what's wrong? Can you talk to Shu about it? "Yushu asked when she saw the frown on his face.
"Zhao Qibing, that idiot, burned down the orphanage and his new building. He's really looking for trouble. I think he needs a beating, so he's looking for trouble!" Lin Yi shrugged. "That's right, I'm looking for trouble!" Lin Yi shrugged.
"Ah? Seriously? Burned again? This guy is really unlucky. " Yushu subconsciously stuck out her tongue when she heard that Qibing's building was destroyed again. Was this guy a jinx? Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Chapter 1718 Thank you for your hard work
"His bad luck is secondary. The key is that the children in the orphanage don't have a place to stay anymore. They're all living in a three hundred square meter attic, and it's so crowded!" Lin Yi said. "How much does it cost to rebuild an orphanage?" Lin Yi said. "How much does it cost to rebuild an orphanage?"
"I'm not sure about that, but if it's our land, we'll only have the construction fees left. Shield bro, you can ask Fatty Lai. Wasn't he a professional in construction?" Yushu reminded.
"Okay, I'll ask him," Lin Yi said and called Fatty Lai.
"Boss? You're back? " Fatty Lai was one of those who was well-informed. He had heard the news of House Yu's downfall and that House Kang's application to become a noble house had failed. This made him even happier. With this, House Kang had even less of a competitive edge.
House Lai's status would rise, and Lai Changyi's name would become more and more famous. After all, he was Lin Yi's follower. Lai Changyi had long expected that he would have such a day! Now, he had an advantage over any noble house because he was one of the first followers of Lin Yi!
"Not yet, it's on the way." Lin Yi said, "There's something I want to ask you. I want to build an orphanage. If we have the land, how much does it cost?"
"Ah?" Fatty Lai paused. He didn't understand why Lin Yi asked this but he still answered honestly, "Building an orphanage depends on the type of building. If it's a larger scale, it'll be comparable to a school. For example, those orphanages in big cities have dormitories, activity rooms, libraries, and so on. Some even have their own kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools. If we build all of these together, it'll cost at least one hundred million. Of course, if we buy all the necessary facilities, it'll cost at least two hundred million!"
"That much?" Lin Yi was surprised.
"Of course, if it's just a normal orphanage, providing food and lodging for the orphans, a few million would be enough," Fatty Lai said, "The key is what kind of building you want it to be, Boss …"
"If we want to build it, we'll do it in one go and build it better!" Lin Yi listened to Fatty Lai's price and felt a headache. Two hundred million? How could it be so much money? But thinking about it, if it was as Fatty Lai said and all the facilities were built, the entire orphanage would be comparable to a small university. It would indeed require a lot of investment! But Lin Yi wasn't willing to just build it the same way it was.
"Actually, we don't need that much. We can do it step by step and build it slowly. Don't invest in the unnecessary things like the computer center, library, and gymnasium for now. If we just build the dormitory and canteen, a few million will be enough. If we have our own land, we won't even need this money!" Fatty Lai said, "But the beds, tables, and other facilities will add up to five million."
"Do you have any money left?" Lin Yi asked.
"I can definitely take out a few million. If it's too much, it'll affect the company's operations," Fatty Lai said.
"Forget it, I'll think of something myself!" Lin Yi spent a hundred million when he participated in the Ice Palace's trial, and it made Fatty Lai's side a little tight. The medical company was still developing rapidly, and it wouldn't work without money.
"Boss … I … I'm really ashamed to let you think of something yourself …" Fatty Lai was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I understand your difficulties." Lin Yi was thinking about where he could get two hundred million. Although he could borrow from any noble house, it would still make people think that Lin Yi was extorting them.
Lin Yi thought about it and thought about the old man. He went on missions a few years ago and earned a lot of money, right? Even if it wasn't a few hundred million, it was at least tens of millions. Lin Yi felt that he should ask the old man for some money.
He called the old man's number, and Old Lin's lazy voice came from the other side, "Little Yi, what's the matter? Is everything done over there? "
"Yes, it's all done. I'm calling to borrow some money from you," Lin Yi said.
"Borrow money? No, "Old Lin said straightforwardly.
"No? Where did the money I earned from the missions I did go? Don't tell me that I only earned tens of yuan from one mission! " Lin Yi heard Old Lin's words and found it funny and annoying at the same time, "I didn't want to argue with you before, but I really have something to do now …"
"Wait, I'll send you something," Old Lin didn't answer Lin Yi's question and said.
"Oh?" Lin Yi wanted to ask something but Old Lin had already hung up.
Not long after, Lin Yi received a message on his phone. He opened it and saw a photo of a bunch of receipts. Lin Yi zoomed in and took a closer look. They were receipts for donations and remittances … Seeing this, Lin Yi was silent!
It seemed that Old Lin had donated all his money to charity all these years. Thinking about how stingy Old Lin was at home, Lin Yi felt a little sour in his heart. He used to misunderstand this old man, thinking that he was a stingy person who didn't spend money and even made him work part-time to weave straw sandals for money!
But now it seemed that Old Lin really didn't enjoy anything at all! As for the money used to raise Lin Yi, it was most likely all from the money he earned from his medical practice in the village. Moreover, his treatment was almost free, and he only earned a little from buying medicine. It wasn't easy for him to raise Lin Yi with this kind of income!
Lin Yi sighed and quietly called back.
"Did you receive it?" Old Lin asked straightforwardly.
"Yes, it's been hard on you all these years," Lin Yi said.
"Haha, it's nothing." Old Lin laughed and said, "What do you need money for?"
"It's similar to what you're doing. I have an orphanage here that caught fire. I want to rebuild it, and I want to build it into a first-class orphanage," Lin Yi said. "So I'm in urgent need of money."
"I see," Old Lin said. "Do you still want to carry out missions? This is faster to earn money. If you want, I can help you keep an eye out! "
"Sure!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth and agreed. "Help me keep an eye out. If there are missions, help me introduce them, but it's best not to go too far."
"I'll help you take a look. There might not be any. If there is, I'll contact you again," Old Lin said.
