Chapter 54 Funding should be given to those who need it most
Except for taking Ji Xun to a follow-up visit on Saturday and having dinner with Ji Xun on Sunday, Shang Qing and her grandmother spent the rest of the weekend in the courtyard rushing out large orders for baby clothes. It became a must for Shang Qing, and she enjoyed it.
Ji Xun was dissatisfied. He had hoped to spend more time with Shang Qing. His expectations were in vain. But he knew Shang Qing had her own favorite things to do. And he, too, had his own things to do, so they both got busy.
Monday break.
"Mr. Qing, Pangpang invites you." Zhang Qi's cheerful voice came from the front door.
"Zhang Baer, do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know. But Pangpang looks very happy. It should be a good thing."
Shang Qing thought happily: Could it be that she can get money for her articles?
If Fatty Yao knew about this, he'd definitely be rolling his eyes. This essay has already been submitted to one place, so how could it possibly be published elsewhere? It's really brainless.
Lai Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not move. He looked at Shang Qing's back as he left, guessing that it must be that incident.
in the office.
"Teacher Pangpang, thank you very much for thinking of me at the first opportunity. However, I really don't need it. I don't meet the requirements for poverty aid. Please leave the opportunity to students who are truly in need."
Shang Qing declined sincerely. About five minutes earlier, Shang Qing had entered the office, and Yao Pangpang had tactfully explained to her that there were philanthropists at the school offering financial assistance to students from less affluent families. There were two spots available per class, and each student would receive 10,000 yuan per semester.
On the list in Yao Pangpang's hand, Shang Qing was listed first, and it was specially marked. He could provide 20,000 yuan per semester. However, before Yao Pangpang could say anything, Shang Qing sternly and clearly rejected his offer.
When Shang Qing heard about this, her eyes widened. Such a good thing! This person was so kind and rich. Each grade had about thirty classes, and with three grades, that meant over ninety classes. With two students per class and ten thousand yuan per student, that meant a total of nearly two million yuan per semester. And that was just one semester. Who could be so wealthy?
What a rich man.
Shang Qing was in a daze. In the eyes of Teacher Yao Pangpang, Shang Qing was so happy that she seemed silly.
"Come here, Shang Qing, please sign this financial aid form. In two days, the financial aid will be deposited into your parents' card."
Then, Shang Qing said those words with great respect and sincerity.
If she took this opportunity, then classmates in real need would lose this chance to change their fate. She now made doll clothes and do doll makeup, which was enough to cover all the living expenses for her, her grandmother, and Xiao Xun. Moreover, in just over a month, she had already saved a considerable amount, and the small stash was gradually growing to a very secure amount.
Watching Shang Qing leave the office, Teacher Yao Pangpang sighed deeply, almost moved to tears. She concluded: This child is pure and kind! A true role model!
If Shang Qing knew that Teacher Yao Pangpang gave her such a high evaluation, she would definitely be very happy, but she would also secretly complain that if it had been a month ago, she would definitely have given it! Taking even one point less would be disrespectful to that kind person! After all, she only had a few yuan in her hand at the time! She was so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy ice cream!
Lunch time.
Shang Qing, who had just come out of the bathroom and was about to go to the playground for physical education class, was blocked at the door.
Shang Qing glanced around at her spot, then awkwardly watched the gossipy expressions of the students around her. Unable to hold back, she questioned the large man who was blocking her path like a wall, "What's wrong?"
"Shang Qing, why don't you accept it?"
Lai Lin was puzzled and angry. He didn't understand why Shang Qing wouldn't accept such a good opportunity to help when she was already in such a difficult situation.
Shang Qing was stunned by the question from her deskmate. She looked up and asked in confusion, "What do you mean you don't accept it?"
"That funding quota?" Lai Lin said anxiously. He had proposed this solution precisely to help Shang Qing. He had already asked his grandmother, and this would prevent the students from feeling embarrassed and reporting it. The company would follow up directly with the application and would definitely send the money to them.
And it was precisely because of what he saw that day that he firmly believed that Shang Qing's life was extremely difficult, to the point of being miserable.
On the way to school that morning, Lai Lin, who had just returned from Kyoto by plane, was sitting in a private car, waiting for the red light. He happened to turn his head and saw the girl who caught the thief that day sneaking behind an old man and entering an old residential area.
Lai Lin was very curious. After passing the red light, he hurriedly asked the driver to stop, got out, and chased after Shang Qing.
The part-time cooking job that Grandma Kang secretly did was eventually discovered by Shang Qing. She had to leave every morning and come back more than an hour later, then go out for more than an hour at noon and come back to cook for her at twelve o'clock.
Shang Qing was becoming increasingly confused. Especially after school that day, when she saw two scratches on Grandma Kang's hands. She had to take this seriously. Grandma was definitely hiding something from her.
So she asked Yao Pangpang for leave for morning reading one day in advance. When her grandmother left in the morning, she secretly followed her and watched her walk into an old community and enter a building. Soon, she came out of the building, holding a little child. But the child was very dishonest and kicked and shoved at her grandmother.
Shang Qing couldn't stand it any longer, so she rushed forward, grabbed the child, and asked why.
It turned out that after quitting her job as a dishwasher, Grandma Kang asked an elderly woman to find her a part-time job at a family. Her job required her to prepare lunch for a family of three. But then the family started to overdo it. First, they asked Grandma to help take their children to kindergarten, and then, when their elderly parents came to stay, they asked her to help care for them. Most importantly, they never even said a word of thanks and instead frequently berated and insulted her.
The child in this family honestly told everything in detail.
She was particularly domineering and dragged her grandmother back to the building and found the family! The little kid who had been so domineering just now followed behind obediently.
Shang Qing didn't care about all the excuses and argued with the other party. In the end, he got the wages for the past twenty days and took her away. The other party's hostess was so angry that she gasped.
From Shang Qing's point of view, he has been working for more than 20 days, less than a month. It is this family's fault. They are not honest, and those extra hours must be paid. He has suffered so much grievance, why should he not ask for salary? Not asking them for more is already very kind!
The money Shang Qing earned from selling baby clothes and applying makeup for babies was enough to support three people. There was no need to let her grandmother go out and suffer hardships.
Shang Qing automatically included Ji Xun in the list of people she needed to take care of. Ji Xun was the person she cared about most in this world, besides Grandma Kang!
