643 Can money solve the problem?
Speaking of this.
Gao Jianjia, who never thought she was fragile or sentimental, couldn't help but have red eyes.
After all, they are living lives!
After all, those innocent faces left her with too many memorable images!
after all...
After all, there are too many after alls.
And the oldest of them is only ten years old!
Even though she had experienced many separations between the living and the dead during the five years she taught.
Some fell down while climbing cliffs to study, and some fell down while passing the necessary rope path.
Even though she had heard a lot of bad news in the past five years, she still couldn't become numb.
Especially when she thought about when she asked those students what their future ideals were, and when those young faces expressed their lofty ideals of wanting to be scientists to contribute to the motherland, wanting to be doctors to cure illnesses and save lives, wanting to be soldiers to defend the motherland, or when they said they wanted to be the same person as Teacher Gao, she couldn't help but burst into tears every time!
Because...those children who still have problems with food and clothing are now facing a miserable and difficult fate where they have to risk their lives even to go to school!
She also asked those parents if they had ever thought about not wanting their children to take the risk of going to school because of the dangerous road...
The answer was a unanimous shake of the head.
In their words, if their children don't go to school, they will be trapped in the mountains like them, illiterate, for generations to come, and this... is something more terrifying than death!
Whenever Gao Jianjia thought of those parents' words, her heart ached and she wanted to question why the heavens would not open their eyes and show a little mercy to these people who seemed to have been forgotten by the world!
During that five-year period.
Gao Jianjia forgot when was the last time she cried before she started teaching, and she also forgot how many times she cried during those five years.
As someone who went to the mountainous areas from a big city to teach, she understood very thoroughly what it meant that while the rich live in luxury, there are people freezing to death in the streets!
Compared to those students out there who have good food and clothing but still regard going to school as a painful thing.
Almost all the children here risk their lives to study, working tirelessly for fear of missing even a minute of class, and looking forward to one day leaving the mountains with knowledge to change their fate, thus realizing their lofty ideals.
However, how can a "school" with only three teachers allow these children to compete with the children in the outside world?
Gao Jianjia has never wanted to face this problem directly, for fear that her mentality will collapse!
So she thought that what she could teach was good, at least to help these children get out of the mountains one day and not live too hard.
Looking at Gao Jianjia's red eyes.
Ye Chen did not ask further.
Instead, he said, "Why not add bridge and road construction to this plan?"
"Hmm? What?"
Gao Jianjia, who was still reminiscing with red eyes a moment ago, suddenly froze.
Building bridges and roads?
Building bridges and roads in such a special geographical environment?
This is not unrealistic!
But it costs too much!
Little did he know that Zhuang Hanlin suddenly became excited after hearing Ye Chen's words.
"Mr. Ye, did I hear you right? You said building bridges and roads? Are you kidding? Do you know how much it costs to build bridges and roads in a place like that? Do you know how high the labor and transportation costs are if you want to build bridges and roads in the depths of the mountains with special geographical conditions?"
"Can money solve it?" Ye Chen asked calmly. "Money..."
As soon as Zhuang Hanlin said the word "money", his throat seemed to be choked the next second.
Then he snorted with a sneer, "Of course money can solve the problem, but do you know how much money it takes to build a bridge? In that environment, at least tens of millions!"
Zhuang Hanlin knew that Ye Chen was rich.
But he didn't think Ye Chen was willing to spend tens of millions just to build a bridge to make it easier for those students to go to school.
Because in his opinion, all capitalists are black-hearted, and the nouveau riche are even more so!
"As long as money can solve it, that's enough! Compared with the lives lost on the road to school, tens of millions are not worth mentioning at all. Although children born in such an environment are unfortunate, their lives cannot be measured by money either!" Ye Chen said.
This guy is so fucking pretentious!
Just throwing away tens of millions?
Do you really think you have endless money to spend?
Zhuang Hanlin, who was invisible, did not realize that his mentality had become somewhat distorted, and was somewhat distorted by the stimulation of Ye Chen, the strong "opponent".
He completely forgot that the emergence of such a mentality is no longer worthy of the identity of a teacher!
"Ye Chen, are you serious?"
After a moment of stagnation, Gao Jianjia, who had ignored Zhuang Hanlin, asked in disbelief.
In the plan she made, she did not dare to ask Ye Chen to spend huge sums of money on charity, but was more practical.
For example, 50 million in the first year, 70 million in the second year, and 100 million in the third year.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Ye Chen must agree to accept this planning plan if he has the wealth.
Does she know that Ye Chen is a billionaire?
She knows!
But she knew better that no one's money came from the wind.
It doesn't mean that billionaires have to donate hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to charity!
In addition, there are only a handful of people in the entire China who are willing to continue to contribute tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year in obscurity!
So with the amount she offered, she was still worried that she might be asking for too much.
However, after Gao Jianjia said this.
Ye Chen nodded solemnly.
"Of course I'm serious. Compared to the lives of those children, money is not a problem!"
At this point, Ye Chen paused, "But..."
"But what? Do we need to wait for a while?"
Zhuang Hanlin, who already regarded Ye Chen as his love rival, immediately responded without thinking.
Little did he know that this time Ye Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Looking at Gao Jianjia, he said, "But Sister Jianjia, your plan is still a bit tight. I still say that money is not a problem! You can plan bigger, such as 500 million in the first year, 700 million in the second year, and 1 billion in the third year! I think I can still afford it!"
Five hundred million, seven hundred million, ten billion?
In an instant.
Gao Jianjia's mind went blank and confused!
Looking at Gao Jianjia, she seemed to be petrified.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and exhaled.
He explained solemnly, "If there were no welfare home, there might not be a person like me, Ye Chen, in the world. If there were no official caring policy, I, Ye Chen, would not have had any education. If there were no teachers like Teacher Gao, I, Ye Chen, would probably have gone down the road of no return at that rebellious age! To be honest, I am no different from those children in the mountainous areas. In fact, I even live a more humble and miserable life than them. The only difference is that I was born in the city and they were born in the mountains. I have been blessed by God, while they have been forgotten by the world. Since God has forgotten to have mercy on them, then let me help God to have mercy on them. After all... I have also come from the mercy of God and have come to where I am today!
