High point

For such a valuable thing, on the one hand, it is impossible to pay off the money so quickly. Don't think that people who do business have a lot of cash. This is a misunderstanding. Su Ling started his own company and felt the pressure from cash flow very much, like them With such a large business, there must be more real estate investment and other financial investments in hand. The difference is that the turnover will be faster, and it is relatively easy to discount.

On the other hand, it is not suitable for me to bring such a valuable thing back home. I paid a part of the deposit by swiping the card first, and then paid the balance after the manager sent the things to the security company.

On the way back, Su Ling naturally thought that it was he who drove the two ladies back. Huo's mother—that is, Huo Ning, declined, saying that she still had her own arrangements, so she didn't bother Su Ling to waste time with them. .

Yang Rong asked Mother Huo: "Are you tired? Look at your complexion, why don't you go today and let Xiaosu take you back."

Mother Huo shook her head and patted the back of her hand: "No, I'm not very tired. I don't want to make any changes to the planned things, so I'll be hard on you; of course, if I really can't do it, I will definitely tell you in time .”

Yang Rong gave her a reproachful look: "I really can't do anything about you, well, Xiao Su, then you should go back first."

Su Ling looked at Huo Ning, and she really couldn't see any fatigue in her eyes - except for the slightly pale face, even a big man like him would not be able to do the behavior of leaving the two ladies here, he insisted Said: "I'll see you off, and besides, you are so tired, you can take a rest in the car before going to work."

Yang Rong immediately said: "Xiao Su is right, don't worry about it, I've always known this kid, and he has a stubborn personality. If you let him go alone, he won't go."

Huo Ning thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you, Xiao Su."

In fact, this sentence is really unnecessary for Su Ling.

On the one hand, Su Ling already had a good impression of Huo Ning, so she respected her so much that she would never tire her out; on the other hand... she is Huo Siwei's mother, although she didn't expect it, she obviously had intentions Knowing each other, Su Ling should do it no matter what his identity is.

According to the address given by Huo Ning, Su Ling drove everyone to a place completely different from the exhibition just now, a half-old office building with the words "Cohesive Strength - NGOINBEIJING" written on it, a very simple sign , the characters are not big.

Pushing open the door, it is a fairly spacious hall. According to the layout, there should be two rooms inside and outside. The things are neatly arranged. Several young people in plain clothes are busy. Seeing Huo Ning, they simply He said hello: "Sister Huo." Then he continued to work.One of the youths, about 20 years old, put down the work at hand, moved a few simple folding chairs for them, and three cups of tea, and his attitude was very friendly. Then he took a document for Huo Ning and whispered to her After discussing some things, Huo Ning nodded, and then he went to make a phone call. From the content, it should be to contact the venue and other matters.

It seems that this is not the first time for Yang Rong to come here. As soon as she entered the room, she put down her brand-name handbag and walked over to them like an ordinary person to help them do things together.

Afraid of causing trouble to others, Su Ling just sat there quietly drinking water.

"Xiao Su." Huo Ning finished flipping through the materials in her hand, and then said softly to Su Ling, "This NGO is what I have always wanted to do. Some of its members have very good jobs, and of course some are full-time. Our funds Every point needs to be used wisely. I thought about being an advocacy NGO before, but later I felt that the influence was not enough. What's more, in China, the quality of people is generally not at that level, and it is easy to cause some misunderstandings. It is better to be an NGO operational form."

Su Ling said: "It's really good. Why don't you tell me about any recent activities, and I can do my part. As far as I know, NGO funds come from social and private donations. If possible... "

Huo Ning said with a smile: "It's not a question of funds, but a question of how to continue to operate."

Su Ling thought about it carefully, this is indeed true. With the financial resources of the Huo family, it is entirely possible to establish a cooperative organization with a semi-official background. The scale and form of such charity are incomparable; , Hire an effective company or team to specialize in commercial operations.

But Su Ling thought that these were definitely not the way Huo Ning wanted.

To some extent, funds are only one aspect of charity. If you have money, you can make free donations, which is a good thing; but charity also needs to be formed into a spirit, a culture rooted in the nation, but This has been a long process. In this process, exploration and reflection are required. It is definitely not just quick success and formalism. The "volunteering" it advocates is not a sign, but an attitude.

If you don't love it with all your heart, you can't continue to do it. Even if you have enthusiasm for a day or two, it will quickly fade away.

Huo Ning continued: "I think the folks are slowly developing now, so I just want to focus on one aspect. I like children very much. I used to go there to inspect the market and saw that many sick children in western villages did not die. Can't get good medical treatment, and then delay it for a lifetime, I don't think this can happen more, especially children, they need help too much, I can't turn a blind eye. What we are doing recently is a city The theme of orphans, many children in the relief stations of the civil affairs department have not been improved very well, and the situation has even worsened. I hope to find a more suitable way to coordinate with the official organization to do better. In two days There is a lecture, we need more college student volunteers, from school to society."

Su Ling was a little moved. It's not that he didn't participate in some so-called charity dinners as a company representative. He didn't feel much meaning other than signing a check, and he knew that whether all the money would go to aid and poverty alleviation in the end was still an issue. The unknown, money can't solve everything.He has also read some reports that the living conditions of NGOs in China are relatively poor, because they are too low-key to do "propaganda" and "invisible advertisements" for those who donate, so many people are unwilling to pay.The common people feel that they are not so reliable, there are not so many high-sounding slogans, no gorgeous official website, no sensual party, no celebrity endorsement, so there is not so much money from the people.

Su Ling felt that compared with the Huo Ning who had so much wealth but was actually doing things, the idea of ​​using money to solve problems just now was really ridiculous and low-level.After a while, Su Ling said: "I'm sorry, I... this is really hard work, right?"

Huo Ning said: "Xiao Su, don't take it too seriously. These things are done happily. Even if it is bitter for a while, it will become sweet in the end. It is mainly an ideal. I don't do it every day. What I can do is actually quite limited. The key is to let everyone understand that real NGOs are very dynamic and powerful. No matter what others think, we only stick to what we should stick to. Through this, I think I learned a lot and got younger."

"What we are doing now is a combination of fixed + non-fixed, that is, we have a fixed location to help some children in need, and then we will regularly combine specific situations and some problems reflected in the society. It is a short-term plan, but the effect should be long-term. For example, if we build a school, its cost must be controlled, but it cannot be based on the premise of sacrificing the environment and effect, so that it can be promoted in more places. There is a set A more standardized form, of course we are still exploring.”

"Xiao Ji, can we go and see the children today? I want to see how the healing device I bought for them last time is working. If it doesn't work, I need to contact and correct it." Huo Ning said to the young man just now.

The young man nodded: "I went there once the day before yesterday, but I think you definitely want to go and see it yourself. I have already asked, and you can just go there later."

Su Ling stood up quickly: "I'm going to drive."

Huo Ning said: "No need, Xiao Su, the school is not far from here, let's walk there."

In that school where there was no sign of luxury, Su Ling saw some lovely children. As soon as they saw Huo Ning, they ran over to hug her and kiss her from the bottom of their hearts.This is not a so-called well-directed script at all, it all happened in real life, and the trust and love in the eyes of the children are completely from the heart-it cannot be bought with any money.

Su Ling saw that Huo Ning's eyes were filled with tears. This was entirely from the joy of happiness and pity for these children. She could use her money to create conditions like heaven, but this is not a burden to these children. Responsible, what they need is care and true love, not material things, and the love that the children give back to this lady is so pure.

This cannot but be said to be a kind of touch.

But at the same time, Su Ling felt that he had done something wrong.

Inadvertently, invisibly, he felt that he had deprived others of something.

For the first time in his life he felt deeply ashamed.

"Brother..." A child pulled up La Suling's pants. He seemed to be wearing hearing aids in his ears. It could be heard that his pronunciation was not very good, but Su Ling could understand that he should be recovering.

Su Ling squatted down and said slowly and clearly, "Let's play together, shall we?"

During this process, Su Ling got to know the situation of the school. There are not many teachers here, and almost all of them are volunteers, but they are very responsible. Although the conditions of the children are not very good, they are not bad. At least everything is orderly. , appropriate and safe.

Looking at all this, Su Ling felt an indescribable shock. This kind of shock is completely different from winning a tough battle in the mall. It is something that comes from the human soul, completely different from the form and person irrelevant.In the past 20 years, Su Ling found that his views on some things were too extreme, too one-sided, and more...too selfish.
