Chapter 348 Specific Requirements
At the entrance to the dean's office.
Yunzhi patted her burning face, took a deep breath, and waited for the temperature to drop before raising her hand to knock on the door. Soon, the dean's voice came from inside, "Come in."
Yunzhi received a response, pushed open the door and went inside, followed closely by Cheng Shuyan, who had already come over.
The dean's office was simply decorated, but the walls were covered with banners from various philanthropists. Some of them were too big to fit and were neatly placed in a transparent glass cabinet against the wall. Yunzhi immediately spotted the banner from Yu Baisu's father among the banners. She glanced at it and then looked away.
"Miss Yun, I'm so sorry. I should have come to accompany you in person, but an unexpected situation came up. Thank you so much for your donation of daily necessities; it has been a great help to us." As soon as the dean saw Yun Zhi, he quickly stood up and extended his hand to her with an embarrassed expression.
Yunzhi's gaze lingered on the director's frayed and torn cuffs for two seconds before she quickly looked away. She put on a polite adult smile and took the director's hand. "It's alright. We just wanted to take a look around today. By the way, Director Liu, I also came here to donate five million to our welfare home to improve the living environment for the children and elderly."
Upon hearing this, the director's hand trembled as he grasped Yunzhi's. "Really? Miss Yun, thank you so much! On behalf of everyone at the orphanage, I express my gratitude to you. But... do you have any requests?"
She spoke her last words very carefully.
Over the years, the welfare home has received donations from many people, but their requests have been varied. Some people are already considered generous donors, while others have made unreasonable demands. The director has spent a lot of time and effort dealing with these people.
She was grateful for Yunzhi's donation. After all, it was far too difficult for the elderly and children in the welfare home to survive on government funding alone. There were so many people in the world who needed help, and in recent years, the welfare home had become very difficult to survive.
“Well… I do have a request,” Yunzhi said, releasing the dean’s hand.
The dean's eyes revealed a knowing look. She only hoped that the young lady's request wouldn't be too difficult, otherwise the donation might be in vain.
"Miss Yun, sir, please have a seat. Let me pour you both a glass of water, and we can talk slowly together." The dean skillfully began to bustle about.
As soon as Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan sat down, the dean placed two glasses of warm water in front of them. "I'm sorry, I only have warm water here. If you want something else, I'll have Xiao Zhang go and buy it for you."
"No need, warm water is fine." Yunzhi politely took a sip, then got to the point, "Dean, please have a seat. Don't worry, I will keep my promise to donate five million, regardless of whether you agree to my request or not."
Five million is nothing to her now; the annual dividends from the Yun Group overseas alone are enough for her to live comfortably for several lifetimes.
Upon hearing this, the dean breathed a sigh of relief. "Then please speak."
"I want to adopt a child." Yunzhi took a sip of water and observed the changes in the dean's expression.
When the director heard Yunzhi's request to adopt a child, her eyes lit up. This was a good thing! She couldn't wait for more people to adopt children and give these poor kids a home. However, their orphanage couldn't just let anyone adopt a child. They had to conduct background checks in advance and visit the adoptive families every quarter of every year for five consecutive years. If they found any instances of child abuse, they had the right to unilaterally revoke the adoption.
People like Miss Yun, whose family background is clearly very good, can adopt a child. Even if it's just for show, the child will be well taken care of by the housekeeper or the family's servants, and the child will also enjoy top-notch educational resources. The director actually welcomes them to adopt children.
However… the dean hesitated, looking at Yunzhi’s face, which looked to be no more than twenty years old, “Excuse me, how old are you this year? We have an age standard for adoption. If you are too young, even if we agree, the process will not be approved.”
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle the procedures. As long as the dean agrees, it's fine. Let me first explain my situation. Both my parents are alive, and I also have an older brother..." Yunzhi briefly introduced her situation.
Just from Yunzhi's introduction, the dean could tell that Miss Yun had a very strong family atmosphere, and the child who was adopted by her should not be mistreated.
"Your family background is exceptional." Although the dean didn't know anything about the overseas Yun Group, he understood what a listed company was. Having a listed company in your family was a rare find, even if you searched with a lantern.
"However, we still need to conduct a specific background check, what do you think..."
Yunzhi nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
"Then, Miss Yun, what kind of child would you like to adopt? After the background check is over, I'll bring a few children over for you to see. They are definitely the most well-behaved and sensible children in our orphanage."
The dean was quite old, and the old man had a sharp eye. When Yunzhi nodded in agreement without hesitation, she knew that the matter was probably settled. The dean was already thinking about bringing those children over in a little while.
"I'd like to adopt a mixed-race boy around four years old. He should have curly hair, preferably medium-length, and eyes like beautiful sapphires. He also needs to be good-looking. I'm a bit picky about looks. I wonder if the director has anyone in mind?" Yun Zhi smiled slightly. Cheng Shuyan, standing to the side, glanced at Yun Zhi helplessly. Yun Zhi was practically reciting KK's ID number.
Her extremely specific requirements left the director completely bewildered. The fact that she could describe it in such detail clearly indicated that Miss Yun already had a child she wanted to adopt. However, Miss Yun's description made the director somewhat uneasy. In her memory, there were very few mixed-race children in the orphanage, and only one around four years old, who happened to perfectly match all of Yun Zhi's requirements.
However… the director looked troubled, recalling Qin Ran’s repeated reminders. “I’m sorry, Miss Yun, it seems that we don’t have any children in our orphanage who meet your requirements.”
"Dean, that's not fair of you. How can you say you don't have one when you clearly do? Don't you want me to adopt?" Yunzhi's smile vanished, and she stared at the dean with a blank expression, radiating a terrifying aura.
