Chapter 293: Donating to the Orphanage (Part 2)

“I want a beautiful new dress and dance shoes!”

“We’ll get it done.”

“My wish and that of Little Sister Li and the others is for a piano. We love the piano, love music, and have loved singing since we were little!”

“Let’s wait on that.”

While toys or new clothes could definitely be covered by the ten thousand yuan donation, a piano was still too expensive. A few thousand yuan could buy one, but the quality would be poor; a decent one would start at ten thousand yuan.

There were quite a few little girls who liked the piano, at least six or seven out of the hundred or so orphans.

They also wanted other musical instruments, including guitars and saxophones. After all, hobbies seem to be innate.

“Alright, alright!”

Director Li didn’t want to say too much, so as not to appear as if exploiting kindness, “Quiet down, kids. I’ll figure out a solution for the piano. Now, let’s take a group photo with the big brothers and sisters. You’ve prepared return gifts for these lovely big brothers and sisters, right? Give them to them.”

The children each prepared some childlike trinkets, such as paintings and papercuts.

Zhao Qingfeng received a towel scarf, and Shen Lingyao got a piece of drawing paper, on which a little girl had drawn herself playing the piano, albeit vaguely since she had never seen a real piano, “Big sister, do you like the piano too? It’s my dream. I’ve always hoped to have one since I was little. But my mom and dad didn’t want me, and I’ve forgotten what they look like. I wish I had parents like you, so I could boldly ask them to buy me the toys I love. At night when I’m scared, someone would protect me and hug me to sleep.”

The innocent words of the little girl moved Shen Lingyao to tears.

She never wanted to ‘show off’ her wealth, but this time, she couldn’t control her emotions and called Zhao Qingfeng over to ask quietly, “Brother Qingfeng, even though we’re going to set up a crowdfunding platform, I still want to donate a bit first. I… can I donate a hundred thousand?”

After all, the money was earned by Brother Qingfeng, and Shen Lingyao, when happy, would jokingly talk about spending all her “small money.”

But when she really wanted to spend money, she still sought Brother Qingfeng’s opinion.

Even though she knew she could spend freely, she always considered Zhao Qingfeng’s thoughts, needing his approval.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded lightly, “Is a hundred thousand enough?”

It should be sufficient, even to build a professional music classroom for the orphanage.

As for future renovations or expansions, they could wait until the crowdfunding platform was launched.

After agreeing, Shen Lingyao then hugged the cute little girl with twin ponytails and said, “Little sister, did you hear that? Big brother is going to donate a hundred thousand yuan. Go tell Director Li, so he can buy it for you tomorrow.”

The little girl blinked, seemingly in disbelief, “Big sister, really?”

After receiving Shen Lingyao’s affirmative answer, the little girl burst into tears, stood on the ground, raising her small hands, jumping for joy as if she had plucked stars from the sky, then hurried to Director Li, who was talking with the senior director, tugging at his trousers excitedly shouting, “Father Li, Father Li! Another big sister has donated to us, she’s going to buy us a piano, you must thank her!”

“Hmm?”

Director Li was taken aback.

The ten thousand yuan just now was already a lot, and now someone was donating a hundred thousand. Are Ji Province University students so wealthy?

Li Manrou was also stunned.

She had been preparing to lay the groundwork for her kindness before the Mid-Autumn Festival gala.

But unexpectedly.

Someone had donated even more than she had. Who could it be?

The classmates were also guessing.

Turning their heads, they saw Director Li quickly walking over to Shen Lingyao. After being introduced by the little girl, he shook hands with her solemnly and then bowed deeply, “This student, a hundred thousand yuan is too much. We can’t accept it.”
