But over there, no one would care if you were wronged. They even had to rush to get dressed and eat. If they were a step slower, they would probably starve.
Moreover, Director Yang also heard that the staff there were not as good as here. There was the old dean supervising them, and they were all people who had been together for more than ten years. They all had feelings for each other, and they treated the children well with sincerity. However, it was different over there. It was just a job. How could it be possible for him to do his best for the children?
It was certain that Mo Jinxi and the others would be wronged if they went there. Even Director Yang's heart ached, not to mention the old director who had just heard the news.
Fortunately, the children were not here today. They had all gone to school. A few of the younger ones had not yet reached the age to go to school. At this moment, they were also learning with Teacher Wang and could not hear these words.
"But what about the children?" The old director's eyes were red and wet. "The orphanage has been here for so many years, and it has never been demolished. Why is it being demolished all of a sudden? Did they lose their conscience and humanity for the sake of making money? Did they ever think about these children? Usually, it was very difficult to allocate funds, and they had to rely on the help of kind-hearted people. Now you're complaining that we're in the way, this is … "
Director Yang couldn't help but sigh. "But what can we do? We're just ordinary people, there's nothing we can do but accept it. In the afternoon, the developer in charge will come over to talk to you in detail. "
Because the orphanage was not a personal asset, there was not even a demolition fee.
"Oh right." Director Yang suddenly had hope. "Isn't Lin Chu dating a very capable man? Why don't you talk to Lin Chu and let her boyfriend think of a way? "
The old dean opened his mouth. He was in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind.
Lin Chu must be under a lot of pressure to be with Yan Beicheng. She could tell from Yan Ningbai's birthday that not everyone accepted Lin Chu.
Yan Beicheng's mother and sister wouldn't accept it. There was also a woman with the surname Lu who coveted him.
Although Yan Beicheng's mother didn't come last time, she could tell from Yan Zhiqing's words that Yan Beicheng's mother didn't like Lin Chu and even wanted to break them up.
Therefore, the old dean did not want to put Lin Chu under pressure and make things difficult for her. It was as if being with Yan Beicheng had brought along the entire orphanage.
Even if Yan Beicheng had no objections, what if? What if the Yan family didn't like it because of this?
However, he could not allow the children to be wronged just because of this. The old director hesitated.
Just then, the doorbell rang again. The old dean looked at the door and saw three women standing outside the courtyard through the living room window. The old director's eyesight wasn't very good, so he could only tell that the one in the middle was slightly older.
The old president was about to get up and open the door when Teacher Yuan came out and stopped her. "You stay here. I'll go open the door."
When she was in the kitchen just now, she also heard what Director Yang said. To be honest, she was also quite worried about her future. At first, he thought that this was an iron rice bowl. Although he didn't earn much, his work was comfortable and he didn't have to work tirelessly.
Everyone getting along well was more important than anything else.
At the same time, he felt sorry for the children. It was like chasing them away from their own home and throwing them into the care of strangers.
Originally, they were orphans without parents. Although they looked lively and cheerful, there were also times when they were weak. They didn't even have a proper home. Suddenly, they couldn't stay in the place that they had lived in since they were young anymore. They had to go to a foreign place with no one they were familiar with, far away from their past lives and companions.
Teacher Yuan could imagine the helpless look on the children's faces. She could imagine Tian Tian crying in fear. She could imagine Stone and Mo Jinxi trying their best to hold back their tears. Their eyes were red as they comforted Tian Tian with a nasal voice.
She felt that she couldn't continue thinking about it. If she did, she would cry. She didn't know how she was going to face the children later.
How was she going to explain it when Mo Jinxi and Stone came back from school?
Her heart felt heavy when she thought of those adorable children. When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she saw three women standing outside through the metal fence. The one in the middle was slightly older.
Two of them had similar features. She guessed that they were mother and daughter.
The older one had taken good care of herself. She didn't look like someone who would have a daughter this old.
Judging from the clothes of the three women, they were also from rich families. The young girl had similar features to the middle-aged woman. She had an obvious arrogance on her face. She kept looking at the orphanage with an air of arrogance, as if the orphanage was a slum.
As if everything was dirty. She didn't have a place to step on. She couldn't see that she was condescending by coming here.
Seeing her attitude, Teacher Yuan didn't have a good face. She had been smiling politely and warmly, but now she only smiled faintly. She didn't take the initiative to invite them in.
Looking at the older woman next to her, the arrogant expression on her face was not as obvious as that of the young girl. However, when she looked at the orphanage, there was obvious scrutiny and contempt in her eyes.
It was as if …
It was as if the orphanage was a worthless thing in her eyes. She could do whatever she wanted with it. She had a superior attitude as if she had the life and death of the orphanage in her hands.
Teacher Yuan had a bad feeling. She looked at the two of them and asked warily, "You are …"
Jiang Changdai smiled elegantly and looked at Teacher Yuan with contempt. "We are looking for the director of this orphanage to talk about the demolition."
It turned out that the people standing at the door were Jiang Changdai, Yan Zhiqing, and Lu Weining.
Teacher Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Her face darkened. She looked down and said coldly, "Please come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door for them and led Jiang Changdai, Yan Zhiqing, and Lu Weining into the house.
The old director and Director Yang looked at the three people who came in. On the birthday, Teacher Yuan wasn't there, so she couldn't recognize Yan Zhiqing and Lu Weining. However, the old director was there.
She was sure that she had never seen Jiang Changdai before. However, she knew Yan Zhiqing and Lu Weining.
It was just that on that day, neither Yan Zhiqing nor Lu Weining spoke to her. Of these two people, one was Yan Beicheng's sister. She didn't like Lin Chu and made things difficult for her. The other one was obviously coveting Yan Beicheng. Neither of them were good people.
In this way, the identity of the middle-aged woman next to Yan Zhiqing wasn't hard to guess. In addition, her facial features were similar to Yan Zhiqing's. The old director could already determine her identity.
"You must be the director of the orphanage." Jiang Changdai walked to the coffee table and faced the old director. She said arrogantly and condescendingly.
The old director didn't get up. Teacher Yuan walked over and said to the old director in a low voice, "They said that they're here because of the demolition of the orphanage."
The old director's expression was solemn. She looked at the three people opposite her with a dark face. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Please take a seat."
Jiang Changdai sat down. Yan Zhiqing and Lu Weining also sat on her left and right.
Jiang Changdai glanced at the letter in the old director's hand and smiled. "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Yan Beicheng's mother. My surname is Jiang."
The old director nodded coldly. "Madam Jiang."
Some people just didn't like each other. Even if she had never interacted with Jiang Changdai before, even if she didn't have the preconceived notions from before, and even if she didn't have the preconceived notions from before, she still couldn't bring herself to like Jiang Changdai.
A person's personality could be seen from the way she acted.
The old director was old now. She couldn't do everything by herself. But in the past, for the orphanage's funds and for the children, she ran all over the place. She had seen all kinds of people. Some were warm, some were cold. She had endured it all.
Jiang Changdai really knew how to read people.
"I think you know that the orphanage and the big courtyard next to it are going to be demolished." Jiang Changdai looked at the old director's cold face and the corner of her mouth curled up mockingly. She didn't even want to pretend.
Seeing the old director pursing her lips in displeasure and not saying anything, Jiang Changdai proudly straightened her back. "The developer this time is our Jiang family's company. Originally, I didn't intend to touch this place. But because Lin Chu insisted on being with Beicheng, I was very dissatisfied with Lin Chu. No matter what, I wouldn't let Lin Chu be my daughter-in-law. I told her nicely, but she wouldn't listen. So, I could only look for you. "
Jiang Changdai looked at the empty coffee table in front of her. When they entered, the old director and the woman who guarded the door just now didn't seem to have any intention of pouring tea for them.
