D:OA
When Gao Jianjia and the elegant man arrived.
Ye Chen was already waiting inside.
With the experience of the last visit to DO A.
So Gao Jianjia also led the elegant man to the threshold of D:O.A and announced Ye Chen's name with ease.
Then, under the respectful guidance of the waiter, the two came directly to the exclusive area of Bauhinia Black Card.
"Sister Jianjia!
As soon as he saw Gao Jianjia appear.
Ye Chen immediately stood up and grinned childishly.
It's hard to imagine that a nouveau riche with a net worth of tens of billions would have such a side of him that is like the boy next door.
However, when the elegant man saw this, he became jealous and regarded it as hypocrisy.
Although in his understanding of Gao Jianjia, the other party is not the kind of vain and greedy person, but also has always regarded money as dirt and has a rare noble character. Otherwise, she would not have resolutely given up the olive branches thrown by many companies after graduating from graduate school and devoted herself to teaching in mountainous areas, and would not have defined her career as a teacher so early...
However, Ye Chen and she had known each other for many years after all, and whenever Gao Jianjia talked about Ye Chen, she would always feel a spontaneous sense of nostalgia and a smile, a smile that was never seen on Gao Jianjia at other times.
It would be fine if the elegant man simply regarded Gao Jianjia as a friend, but his admiration for Gao Jianjia since his student days has never changed!
So it doesn't matter even if you know that Gao Jianjia regards money as dirt, and it doesn't matter even if you know that Ye Chen is a nouveau riche with a family.
At this moment, even though he was a refined man who had always prided himself on being a gentleman, he couldn't help but feel jealous and started to act like a villain.
Well...this upstart who had a long history of bad deeds before he made his fortune definitely has some evil intentions towards Jianjia, absolutely!
"snort- -"
A slight snort came from the elegant man.
Gao Jianjia didn't catch it, but Ye Chen did. "Hmm? Sister Jianjia, who is this?"
Without waiting for Gao Jianjia to respond, Ye Chen looked at the elegant man with a teasing smile.
"Ye Chen, sorry, I forgot to tell you that I'm coming here with a friend!"
Smoothing her scattered hair with a slight smile, Gao Jianjia introduced the elegant man, "Let me introduce him to you first. His name is Zhuang Hanlin, and he is my college classmate. He now works in a middle school in Jiangzhou. He was one of the people who visited the mountainous area with me some time ago!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhuang! My name is Ye Chen. I'm sure Sister Jianjia has told you about me, so I won't go into details!"
Ye Chen smiled and stretched out his hand towards Zhuang Hanlin.
"Well, hello to you too, Mr. Ye!"
He forced a smile and greeted the hand that Ye Chen extended to him. Even if he was unhappy in his heart, Zhuang Hanlin did not dare to show it at this moment.
"Teacher Zhuang, you are too polite. You don't have to call me Mr. Ye. Just call me Ye Chen like Sister Jianjia. After all, the profession that I respect most in my life is teacher. If it weren't for the mentors I met in school in the past, I, Ye Chen, would not be where I am today. So I have always maintained great respect for teachers!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, you're too kind. Jianjia is Jianjia and I am me. I dare not call you by my full name, haha..." Zhuang Hanlin forced out a smile awkwardly.
"Hanlin, that's not what you meant, right?
Gao Jianjia frowned when she heard Zhuang Hanlin's strange attitude. "Jianjia, it's true. If a little teacher like me calls Mr. Ye by his first name, it would be a bit disrespectful. To be honest, even if Mr. Ye came to our school, the principal would probably have to smile and address him as Mr. Ye!" Zhuang Hanlin said with a forced smile.
Okay, you can call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter, come...Sister Jianjia, Teacher Zhuang, please sit down!
How could Ye Chen, who had lived two lives, not see Zhuang Hanlin's clues? However, at the moment, he just smiled playfully, shook his head, and waved his hand in a friendly manner.
After Gao Jianjia and Zhuang Hanlin sat down.
Ye Chen spoke first again, "Sister Jianjia, should we eat something first or..."
Without waiting for Ye Chen to finish.
Gao Jianjia interrupted, "You know my character. Although we haven't been in touch for a long time, I am still the Gao Jianjia that you, Ye Chen, knew. So let's talk about business first. There's no rush for dinner!"
"Okay, that's fine too, let's listen to Sister Jianjia!" Ye Chen nodded and smiled. The next moment.
Gao Jianjia, who was sitting next to him, also took out an A4 paper document while Ye Chen was speaking.
But as soon as he made the presentation, he suddenly paused.
She put down the paper documents in the air.
"Sister Jianjia, what's wrong with you?" Ye Chen said in surprise, pointing at the document paper put down by Gao Jianjia.
"Ye Chen, I want to ask you one more time, and for the last time! Are you really going to devote yourself to charity? Is it purely charity without asking for anything in return?
Looking directly into Ye Chen's eyes, Gao Jianjia asked very seriously. "Sister Jianjia, your question really hurts my heart. Based on your understanding of me, do I, Ye Chen, seem like someone who would joke with you about this kind of thing? If I had no intention of engaging in charity, I would have been vague and evasive when I talked to you about charity before, instead of letting you go to the mountainous areas to understand the situation! As for the return, if I wanted to use charity to show off and build my image, do you think I would look for you?
Facing Gao Jianjia's gaze, Ye Chen put away his pretentiousness and spoke seriously.
"Okay, I feel relieved with your answer. Here!"
With a smile that revealed an intellectual aura like a beautiful lady in her simplicity, Gao Jianjia then handed over the charity plan that she had prepared.
Ye Chen took it and immediately flipped through it.
The mountainous areas mentioned in this plan drawn up by Gao Jianjia are all places that are in deep poverty and almost ignored.
Perhaps because charity is considered extremely sacred, there is not a single ambiguity in the document personally drafted by Gao Jianjia.
A detailed introduction to the situation in those mountainous areas.
How to make charitable donations.
How to make the funding content specific.
What kind of improvements will be achieved in those impoverished mountainous areas by these grants?
Then make a reasonable budget for the funding costs.
etc etc etc..
Just from these contents, it is enough to see how much effort Gao Jianjia put in.
"Sister Jianjia, Yuanshan County is where you taught for five years, right?'
After reading all the information, Ye Chen asked.
"Yes, it's the mountainous area where I taught before. Based on my experience of teaching for five years and my understanding of the poverty level in Yuanshan County, I proposed in this plan that the most charitable funding should be given to Yuanshan County! Yuanshan County is a mountainous area where even teachers can hardly persist for more than a year. Its poverty level is beyond the imagination of many people. As a poor county with the lowest population in the country, there are still hundreds of families living in the deep mountains. Those hundreds of families can only walk out of the mountains, and the walk takes at least two days and two nights. The children there have to travel through mountains and rivers to go to school, and even have to pass through the only necessary road between two cliffs connected by a rope. Under the rope is a turbulent river. I taught there for five years, and several students suffered misfortune on this necessary rope road. Thinking of the innocent smile on the day before, and the next day, they were already separated by life and death. I really, really can't describe that feeling in words..."
