Chapter 1100: The Last of the Night (Part 2)(1/2)
White walls, white floor tiles, white dome, no decoration, not even a potted plant at the door. There is no office atmosphere at all, but it looks like a hospital.
Occasionally in the corridor, you can see a whole wall of glass inside the house, and in the rooms where the lights are turned off, you can see toys, bookcases and simple drawings on the wall...
After vaguely hearing the child's voice, Fangran finally couldn't help but look at Adeline and asked:
"What kind of charity is this?"
"This is a child welfare institution that specializes in the adoption and education of sick children, and is similar in nature to an orphanage."
Orphanage...
Hearing her answer, he was slightly stunned. Before he could ask any more questions, he followed the woman on duty who led the way, pushed the door and walked into a room with light inside.
Fangran saw a small party going on in the corner of an activity room that was larger than an indoor basketball court.
There are uneaten candies on the two tables put together. Lively holiday programs are playing on the TV on the shelf. On a small area of the ground surrounded by lace decorations,
Seven or eight children were gathered around a Christmas tree that had not yet been put away.
There are quiet and introverted little boys, one or two sunny and cheerful wild boys, there are little girls who are lively and cute together like a bunch of little sparrows, and there are also quiet little girls who stand aside and don't talk much...
One of the little girls stood out. She had blond hair and was wearing a skirt. She looked pretty and sensible like a big sister and was loved by everyone.
There was a sense of déjà vu as if the protagonists in the story had not grown up yet. They were gathering together as if celebrating something, laughing and looking very happy from time to time.
Such a scene made Fangran feel a little relieved. He knew that the orphanage was not a good place.
Abandoned and homeless children live together in a dilapidated and crude environment. You can most likely see the depressed low self-esteem and loss of hope on their faces, not to mention the charity scandals involving children's crimes.
But luckily he didn't see anything like that here.
He decided to come after asking him casually. The journey of less than ten minutes was not enough to prepare for such a scene, and at the level of Fiseld, there should not be such a problem.
So the smiles on these children's faces are not fake, they look really happy living here.
After confirming this fact and confirming that the beauty in front of me was not false, the sadness in my heart tonight was suddenly washed away.
Let Fangran completely let go of those who were thrown away.
"It seems that your charity work is doing well."
With a relieved expression and a relaxed tone, Fangran looked at the beautiful and cold CEO beside him,
"Fiseld has hundreds of private foundations under his name and is the world's largest charitable foundation. It receives hundreds of millions of dollars in donations every year. Since its establishment in the last century, the total fund size has been in the hundreds of billions,"
And listening to his words, Adeline just stated lightly that Fiseld had another huge property under her name,
Then the next second he told the core truth in a calm voice.
"Although the main purpose is to use money to gain huge social influence and avoid taxes, the part that is actually used for charity is enough to operate a place like this."
Could you please stop being so frank...
Speechless, Fangran watched Adeline suddenly look towards him, her eyes calmly questioning:
"Speaking of which, Master, do you prefer boys or girls?"
"Well...I hate any child who is unruly, willful and noisy, but if he is not a naughty child..."
After thinking about her question, Fangran looked at the figures of the group of children, and was reminded of a certain figure by the little blond girl in the middle, which made him answer with some nostalgia:
"It should be a little girl."
"Is it,"
After hearing his answer, Adeline nodded with an unchanging expression to show that she understood, and then added calmly with a cold voice:
"As for me, I prefer a boy and a girl."
Qiaodou sack...are we talking about the same thing now? (serious)...
Fangran looked at her confused and confused, feeling that the two of them were not on the same channel.
The feeling of sadness dissipated, and after relaxing, he could always complain about Adeline as usual. At this time, he suddenly felt the line of sight coming from below, Fangran lowered his head and looked,
Then he found that the little blond girl had walked over at some point and was looking at him curiously with her head raised.
Being so close, I saw that she was holding a black rabbit stuffed doll. She had soft blond hair and straight and fair facial features. She was probably in her early ten years.
She possesses all the beauty and cuteness of her age.
"Helen...!"
Seeing her running over here, the woman on duty immediately whispered a nervous reminder, worried that she would cause some trouble in front of the two people in front of her and leave a bad impression.
From the phone call just made by the person in charge of this institution, she knew that the two people who came inexplicably at this time were extremely important people.
It makes the person in charge want to fly over from the bed right now.
"Is your name Helen?"
Raising his hand to signal her that it didn't matter, Fangran knelt down and looked at the beautiful blond girl in front of him, pressed the button of the device next to his ear and asked,
The black rabbit stuffed doll in his arms looked at him intelligently with big eyes. The little girl named Helen gave a gentle and sweet smile at the end, and answered softly in her crisp voice:
"Yes, my name is Helen, big brother, what is your name?"
He is not as childish and annoying as ordinary children, but he is sensible and polite, and he is beautiful and lovable. I don’t know how such a child could appear here.
Fangran smiled at her and replied:
"My name is Fangran."
"Fang...ran, are you a very powerful person?"
Somewhat surprised why she asked this, Fangran looked at her and asked strangely:
"Why do you ask?"
"Because...I have never seen Aunt Meister look so nervous."
After saying this, Helen chuckled, making the woman on duty beside her feel slightly embarrassed and helpless.
Surprisingly, she was able to notice this and speak out. Fangran looked at the little blond girl in front of him more seriously in surprise. At the age of ten years old, when she was about to grow up but had not yet grown up,
She has a maturity and intelligence that should be considered precocious or a genius, but is beyond her age, as well as a gentle cheerfulness.
All in all, it gives people a very special feeling.
"Fangran, are you here to see us?"
Listening to little Helen's clear and soft voice asking, Fangran gently touched her head, her blond hair was fluffy and soft, and she answered with a gentle smile:
"Yeah, I came here to see you so late. Why don't you little guys go to bed?"
And when his head was touched, he seemed to like it like a kitten. Helen said to him very happily:
"Because today is New Year's Day, the first day of the new year, we are celebrating the beginning of another new year."
New Year...
After hearing her answer, I was stunned. San Francisco, drag racing pursuits, tens of billions of dollars, meetings, running investigations, plans, everything that happened tonight...
Too many things were busy one after another, causing Fangran to forget all.
Today is New Year's Day.
The hands of the clock on the wall are about to coincide, and today will be over in ten minutes...
"That's it...Happy New Year then,"
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Fangran smiled at her with a headache, then guessed the reason why she came here and said with a chuckle:
"Do you have any gifts you want?"
But to his surprise, the little blond girl in front of him shook her head, and then smiled at Fangran's extremely beautiful face:
"I have received the gift, thank you for coming to see us."
He was slightly startled, and was infected by her angelic smile at this moment, as if a beam of light illuminated her at night,
Fangran heard the purest gratitude from the child, and felt inexplicable emotions well up in his heart.
"Actually... they also wanted to talk, but they were a little scared and didn't dare to come."
Then he saw Helen adding something like a whisper, and secretly glanced at Adeline next to her. At this moment, she finally looked like a child,
Fangran looked at the generous, polite, gentle and smart little girl in front of him, thinking that Adeline's aura was really scary to children.
He couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Then why aren't you afraid?"
"I'm eleven years old and I'm not afraid of anything anymore."
Seeing Helen's quiet and serious answer in her big eyes, Fangran found that he liked this little girl more and more, and he teased her and asked:
"What a big tone. Why are you not afraid of anything when you are eleven years old?"
Hearing Fangran ask this, without giving any innocent reasons like a child, Helen looked at him strangely, as if he was surprised and didn't know why.
Naturally, it is impossible not to notice that when I am confused,
Fangran saw the little girl in front of him hugging his black rabbit doll, silently shook his head, and then said in a way that sounded like he was happy but not happy, like he was strong but not strong,
