After entering 22 Phelps Street, Audrey immediately saw Dawn Dantès walking out from the side corridor.
This good-looking gentleman was wearing a black formal suit and holding a gold-inlaid cane. He was conversing with the foundation staff beside him.
As though sensing Audrey's gaze, Dawn Dantès naturally turned his head and looked at the door. Then, his eyes lit up as though he had seen a treasure. Following that, he smiled and nodded slightly as a form of greeting.
Audrey responded with a smile that was flawless in terms of etiquette. She nodded and followed the staff of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation who welcomed her up the stairs to the second floor.
During this process, although she didn't look in that direction, be it her feminine talent or her instincts as a Spectator, they both told her that Dawn Dantès's gaze had been secretly following her figure until it was blocked by the wall beside the stairs.
Impeccable acting! He fully displayed the reaction of a gentleman who lacks resistance to beautiful women but is sufficiently cultured and cultured when meeting me for the second time. It's as though we really only met once at the charity gala … This is no different from what I expected. He even managed to make his eyes suddenly light up …
Is this a technique brought about by his Beyonder pathway, or is it an ability he possesses to begin with? I have to say that German Sparrow, uh, I should say Mr. German Sparrow, is really a professional — no, an excellent actor. Furthermore, he's not overly exaggerated like those theatrical performers … Audrey thought approvingly. Then, she saw a few newspaper reporters waiting on the second floor to interview the establishment of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation.
She wasn't a noble lady who liked to have her photo appear in the newspapers. As she communicated with the manservant who had followed her and informed them that they couldn't take photos in the name of Earl Of Hall, she led her personal maid, Annie, into the VIP lounge.
Earl Hall was friends with the owners of several newspapers and had made corresponding investments, so he had a lot of shares. If Audrey was willing, she could totally exchange some of the assets she had received for a sizable newspaper.
In the VIP lounge, Audrey, who felt that it was not appropriate to bring a dog on such an occasion, greeted the children of the nobles, the children of the rich, and the relatives of the clergy of the church. Out of habit, she found a place where she could see the whole audience and sat down, waiting for the formal beginning of the ceremony and the first meeting of the board of directors.
She looked around and said to the female worker in charge of receiving her.
"Lovesha, this is my first time participating in the actual operation of a charity organization. I really want to know what we should do."
The lady known as Lovesha was less than thirty years old. She also had a head of blonde hair, and her skin looked rather rough with many sunburn spots. However, her smile was very sunny, and she was rather amiable.
Upon hearing Audrey's question, Lovesha introduced without reservation.
"The current preliminary plan is to not be in a rush to expand. With Baekeland as the main focus, we will go deep into public elementary schools, Sunday schools, and night schools to promote the foundation to all students. This will allow those who need to apply to us.
"After we receive the application, we will immediately organize personnel to do a detailed review. Not only do we have to confirm the basic situation through the government, but we also have to understand the applicant's situation on the spot.
"Once the review is approved, we will distribute a bursary fund to help the poor who yearn to change their fates with knowledge …"
Lovesa had just said that when a magnetic male voice interrupted, "That's right.
"I have two suggestions.
"First, organize personnel to go to the various Sunday schools, night schools, and public elementary schools today to promote the foundation. This is because June is the examination season, a critical period to enter higher-level schools. If we aren't efficient enough, there will definitely be many students from poor families who give up on the examination due to financial reasons. Even if they later learn of the existence of the bursary fund, they won't be able to afford the loss of a year of neglect. As a result, they will lose the opportunity to change their fates.
"What we are doing may seem simple, but it affects the lives of one child after another. Therefore, we have to start as soon as possible. We can't waste time."
The person who spoke was none other than Dawn Dantès, who had just entered the lounge upstairs. His expression was gentle but serious as he expressed his thoughts.
Ah right, June is the examination season. Be it entering a grammar school to prepare for university, or going to various technical schools to gain professional experience, this is a critical period. Once they give up on the corresponding entrance examinations, they will have to wait until next June … I completely forgot about this matter. Ma 'am Lovesha and the other members of the foundation seem to have neglected this problem as well … Mr. Dawn Dantès actually noticed this detail and considered the children who are on the verge of giving up on their dreams … He's actually a very gentle person at heart, right? Audrey suddenly gained a new understanding of Dawn Dantès and German Sparrow.
This was what a Spectator had just learned.
A cold-looking assassin and adventurer actually has a gentle heart? Unfortunately, the information I have on German Sparrow is only the description of his madness. There's no way to verify it … Audrey blinked as she listened attentively to Dawn Dantès's explanation. "My second suggestion is that it's best to place the scholarship funds in a corresponding bank account.
When paying the tuition fees, bring the documents to us to withdraw it. There's no need to go through so much trouble if it's a small amount of food or lodging expenses. It can be withdrawn once a month or once a week, with a fixed amount. This is to prevent the applicant's parents, siblings, or siblings from spending the money. To a poor family, this is an irresistible temptation. Similarly, one account for one person. Regardless of the withdrawal method, there has to be a person present. This can effectively prevent everyone from being tested by the devil of greed. "
When Klein said that, he pressed his hand to his chest and said to Audrey and Lovesha, "My apologies.
Forgive me for rashly joining your conversation. "
Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Dantès, your suggestion is excellent.
"Mr. Dantès, your suggestion is very good. You made me realize that I haven't considered many aspects.
"The only problem is that it's meaningless for you to tell us this. I'm only listening to Ma 'am Lovesha's briefing."
Lovesha laughed as well.
"Yes, you should talk about these matters at the first board meeting."
Didn't I deliberately come here to convince Miss Audrey ahead of time? With Justice joining in, I can guarantee that there won't be any objections in the board meeting. Otherwise, it's very likely that someone will find an excuse to delay or change the plan, such as a lack of manpower … Klein revealed an enlightened and regretful expression as he rubbed his palms.
"I was too nervous about these matters. I wish to turn them into reality the moment I have the chance, so much so that I forgot the occasion."
Mr. Dawn Dantès's acting is a little exaggerated … He should know that he can't fool me. Oh, he deliberately came here to communicate these two suggestions to me in advance without leaving any traces, so as to get my support? Audrey instantly read his thoughts as the smile on her lips became more obvious and pure.
Although she would have supported Tarot's companions in a while if The World hadn't "informed" her in advance, she was still rather happy that she had communicated with him beforehand. This was because she could sense that he was treating her as an equal.
After "forgiving" Dawn Dantès's rashness, Audrey retracted her gaze and said to Lovesha, "I'm in charge of collecting donations at different occasions, as well as communicating with the government and parliament?"
"Forgive" Dawn Dantès for his rashness and watched the gentleman walk to the long table with drinks and desserts in the lounge.
"To you, this should be a simple matter," Lovesha replied frankly.
This was also the reason why the Church's charity department wasn't opposed to, and was even eager for, Miss Audrey Hall to join them.
Audrey nodded in thought.
"If I have spare time, can I participate in your publicity at the various schools and the vetting of the applicants?"
Lovesha was originally unwilling to agree to this matter, worried that the environment wasn't suitable for Miss Audrey. However, when she saw Audrey's clear green eyes and sensed the irresistible pleading, her heart softened. She felt that such kindness shouldn't be stopped or isolated from the lowest levels of reality.
If Miss Audrey is still willing to help those pitiful people after witnessing true suffering and ugliness, she will definitely be of greater use. It will prevent the higher-ups from always enacting unrealistic bills … Lovesha quickly found a sufficiently convincing reason as she sighed with a smile.
"No problem.
"However, you can't wear such a dress or any jewelry." “
What about Lie? Turn it into an armband and hide it under my sleeve? Audrey thought for a moment before replying with a faint smile.
"Alright."
…
With Miss Audrey Hall's support, the first board meeting after the founding ceremony of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation came to a successful end. Klein returned to 160 Böklund Street in a good mood.
As per usual, he entered his master bedroom around two in preparation for his afternoon nap.
In his hazy dream, Klein suddenly jolted awake as he became alert.
Someone was attempting to invade his dream!
Who is it? Even my afternoon nap is being disturbed now? As Klein mumbled, he changed the dream into the half-open room with the balcony.
Then, he saw the black-haired, green-eyed Leonard flip in through the window.
Can't this fellow use the main entrance? Why did he suddenly come here? Remember to leave me a way to contact you this time … Klein sat in a reclining chair in exasperation and amusement.
He looked leisurely at his poet and said, "This isn't a polite visit."
When Leonard heard that, he gave a bow that wasn't too standard.
"Mr. Dantès, I have something to consult you on."
Consult? That's not a bad attitude. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be anything serious … Klein secretly tsked.
"What is it?"
Leonard found a chair to sit down and asked after some deliberation,
He deliberated and asked, "You were embroiled in Cuarón's suicide. Who do you think the real murderer is?"
If I knew, I would've long thrown Frank's mushroom at him! However, I can't say that I'm not clear at all. It'll damage my image … Klein was very accustomed to such situations.
Without answering, he asked, "What did you find out?"
