Break out of the courtyard

"Xiao Wang, you've arrived just in time. Come and sit down!"

As Director Wang Sumei walked into the small conference room on the 28th floor, she was called over by the old lady sitting in the first seat.

"You're finally here!" Wang Sumei had just sat down when a woman in her 50s, who was about the same age as her, came over and whispered, "They are discussing setting up a women and children care fund and a youth growth fund, and then taking a share of the charitable donations."

When Wang Sumei heard this, she felt inexplicably tired. The money hadn't even been received yet, but these people were already thinking about dividing the money and the credit.

Because of the reminder from the friend from the Ministry of Education, Director Wang made up his mind not to expose Zhang Heping to outsiders for the time being.

The old lady at the head of the table saw that everyone who had been discussing excitedly just now was now silent and pretending to be serious when they saw the main person coming. She couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Xiuzhen's son is here?"

"Yes! Her son just came from the Shenzhen Printing Factory."

When the old lady at the top heard the word printing factory instead of Hong Kong Island, she immediately understood Xiao Wang’s intention and did not want to reveal the identity of Ma Xiuzhen’s son.

Speaking of which, among the 14 people in this room, only she and Xiao Wang knew some things about Zhang Heping because they used to be in the same secret department. No one else knew.

"Mr. Zheng, there's a call from Hong Kong Island asking where our charity gala will be held. They need to organize activities based on the location." Wang Sumei did not talk about the auction directly, but asked about a key issue that had not been implemented.

Someone in the conference room wanted to hold the meeting in Hong Kong Island, on the grounds that it would be able to recruit more people to participate in the charity gala.

Those who insist on opening businesses in China mainly feel that they cannot ask for money on the territory of the Americans.

After all the talk, neither gang mentioned where the money came from, and they naturally assumed that it was Wang Sumei's business.

The old lady at the top raised her right hand to suppress the arguments of others. "Xiao Wang, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell everyone. After all, you are the person in charge of the Hope Project Fund."

Wang Sumei glanced at everyone, took out her former director's posture, and said seriously: "I suggest that we hold a charity auction in Hong Kong Island!"

"Don't be so quick to refute!" Director Wang raised his left hand and pressed it towards the three excited female comrades. "Go to Hong Kong Island to see the schools and students there. After you come back, go and see the schools and students in our rural areas in the central and western regions, compare them, and think about whether the money from the Hope Project should be used for its intended purpose!"

"Secondly, this is the first charity donation gala of the Hope Project Fund. According to the instructions from above, we need to widely mobilize financial resources at home and abroad and raise education funds through multiple channels. So we can't limit ourselves to the domestic market, we have to go out!"

"Third, if you want money, you should be proactive. How can you get money at home? In order to allow more rural children to finish primary school, I, Wang Sumei, will be a beggar from now on. I don't feel ashamed!"

"What's so shameful about this?" The old lady at the top looked at Wang Sumei and said kindly, "Since Sumei has made up her mind, then I, an old woman, will accompany you to Hong Kong Island to ask for money!"

"Also, what do you mean by the charity auction you mentioned just now?"

……

After it was decided in the small conference room to hold the charity auction in Hong Kong Island, the old lady at the top arranged for someone to contact Hong Kong Island for immigration matters.

"Sumei, please stay for a moment!" Old Mrs. Zheng at the top of the table changed her previous address of "Xiao Wang" and sounded more intimate.

The old lady in her 70s waited until everyone else left before she spoke to Wang Sumei in a low voice for a while.

"He ran away to Hong Kong Island at the age of 16, and quietly earned at least 14 billion magnesium yuan in wealth in 20 years. During this period, he also helped Banna set up a pharmaceutical factory that earned hundreds of millions of magnesium yuan, and even served as a school principal in Banna... What a pity!"

Old Madam Zheng sighed, "It's a pity that he wasn't discovered and trained earlier, causing him to become a wild boy, unable to be recognized by the mainstream and had to be assigned to the army."

"It's a pity!" Wang Sumei echoed, then smiled and said, "But it's good now!"

"The 40 tons of grain that Huadu shipped to the north a few days ago was donated by their Tingmei Trading Company. If he were to develop in China, he wouldn't be able to provide so much grain. At most, he could donate some fish and wild boar meat, haha!"

"Tingmei Trading Company planned to invest 10 billion magnesium yuan in Huadu to build automobile, daily chemical, and catering factories, but failed. Instead, it invested in real estate in Ridao Dongdu." Old Mrs. Zheng frowned and said, "Then it was reported that he offered a high reward to avenge the kidnappers, which made the higher-ups suspicious."

"However, with the establishment of the Shenzhen Ultra-Thin Color Screen Joint Venture Factory, the world-leading technical data sent back by the wild boy, and the robbery in Kowloon Tong, the higher-ups suddenly realized the value of this wild boy and his dangerous situation. Unfortunately, he refused to accept our protection."

"Mr. Zheng, don't worry!" Wang Sumei said with a smile, "I heard that his Umbrella Security Company has hired some new security guards."

"Oh?" Mrs. Zheng smiled at the smile in the other person's eyes. "I was wondering why you retired when you were only in your 50s, haha!"

"This time I went to Hong Kong Island, mainly to take his mother Ma Xiuzhen to visit his home in Hong Kong Island." Wang Sumei moved closer and explained in a low voice: "We are worried that he has too much money and can't control his life."

Mrs. Zheng nodded and suddenly asked, "Is he downstairs now?"

……

When Director Wang returned alone to the living room of the small suite on the 27th floor, Zhang Heping had already drawn more than a dozen pictures of classes in shabby rural classrooms.

Among them, what he was most satisfied with was the picture of the girl with big eyes; the second was the picture of a female teacher carrying a baby on her back and teaching several children sitting on broken desks and chairs.

When Zhang Heping saw Wang Sumei coming back, she just stared at the pencil drawings without saying a word. He couldn't help but ask, "Auntie Wang, how was your discussion?"

Wang Sumei looked at the pencil drawing of the girl with big eyes for a while before looking up at Zhang Heping and asking, "What do you think about us going to Hong Kong Island to hold a charity auction?"

"Sure!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Let's go to the Hilton Hotel in Central. The Bank of China is next door. When the time comes, you can talk to the bank staff to come and help collect the money and check the checks. It will save a lot of trouble."

"If this is confirmed, I will call someone to book a hotel." Zhang Heping put down his pencil and looked at Director Wang with a smile on his face.

However, he was thinking that once his mother Ma Xiuzhen got a passport this time, it would be convenient to take her to Hong Kong Island in the future.

You have to know that these days, if you want to go abroad, you have to go through layers of review and learn foreign affairs regulations.

Wang Sumei nodded, "We have tentatively decided to go to Hong Kong Island in the meeting just now, and we are currently looking for someone to contact for customs clearance."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heping immediately picked up the phone and called home.

"Shu Ting, book all the penthouse suites at the Hilton Hotel in Central. Aunt Wang and her friends are coming to Hong Kong Island to hold a charity auction."

"Yes! We can rent a floor on the third or fourth floor as the venue... We haven't decided when to come yet, so please book it for a month first."

After Wang Sumei heard him finish the call, she smiled and said, "Heping, we don't have any budget for coming here this time."

"It's okay!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "When the time comes, someone will rush to pay the bill!"

"By the way, Aunt Wang! Have you discussed what to take to the auction?"

"Not yet!" Wang Sumei put away the pencil drawing on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Let's go! Mr. Zheng wants to see you."
