Chapter 1,287: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 71 (Part 2)

Here, take it!"

"How can I be so embarrassed!"

Lu Qi took some clothes and food from the shop owner in front of him. He looked at the workers who were carrying things with some embarrassment. The shop was about to close.

The shop owner was over 80 years old. He was old and planned to return to the north to retire. The shop owner smiled and took out a paper bag from his pocket, which contained a thick stack of banknotes.

"Take it!"

"This"

Lu Qi swallowed. He really wanted to take the money. The shop owner was a good man. He had helped the orphanage many times.

"Take it. Although this amount of money is not much, it is at least enough for the more than 40 children in your orphanage to live for a while. "

Lu Qi took the money, held it in his hand and bowed 90 degrees, tears oozing out of his eyes.

It has been a while since I came to the busy streets. Lu Qi came here today just to go to a place with Internet access and look at the bills in Congress. Now there are three more important bills that have been resolved, and the fourth bill is the distribution of taxes. Now that there is a huge political system of parliamentarians, the distribution of taxes is a very concerned issue for many people.

Lu Qi is no exception. The monthly allocation to Lu Qi's orphanage is only a pitiful 2,000 yuan, which is difficult to support the lives of more than 40 children. Lu Qi is exhausted and has appealed to the local administrative department many times, hoping to get some money to keep the orphanage running.

Every time a group of children is sent away, Lu Qi feels a little relieved. Those children who are willing to be adopted can get out of the tormenting environment of the orphanage, but in recent years There are still a large number of orphans in society. The previous black slave incidents, money laundering, fraud and other problems have caused a certain resistance to orphanages in society.

There are even complaints in society that most of the orphanage owners are taking advantage of kindness to make money, which has exacerbated the distrust in society. Even though the Acts Department and the Bar Association have revised the Fraud Law, the prison term for fraudsters who take advantage of others' kindness has been increased from less than 10 years in the past to 30 years.

Although most fraud incidents in society have been effectively curbed, the distrust that has been caused in the past is constantly expanding because of the casual remarks of some people, like a torn wound that keeps pus flowing.

In the past, Lu Qi was able to get some donations in many places, but now it is basically very difficult to get donations.

"Lu Qi, I think you should contact a larger orphanage as soon as possible and send the child away, otherwise you won't be able to hold on. "

The shop owner sighed helplessly. Everyone in the neighborhood knew Lu Qi. He often came to ask for donations. Many people gave some in the past, but now everyone's life is not easy. This district in the southwest is close to the factory area, but their orphanage is on a hill on the edge of the city, where no one lives.

Located on the edge, Lu Qi's orphanage is about 2 kilometers away from the inhabited areas of the district.

That place has been marginalized for a long time. Lu Qi looked at the big bag of food and the purse in his hand, and looked to the west in a daze. Almost everything in the store has been moved away. The boss smiled. Get on the truck.

Lu Qi quietly looked at the boss who waved at him. After saying goodbye to him, Lu Qi looked around. Many people were looking at him, pointing and talking.

Then Lu Qi carried the clothes and food and walked hard. He had to go back quickly, make a good meal for the children, and then buy some baby food.

The road of more than 2 kilometers is not long, but it is not short. Lu Qi looked at the fortress on the top of the mountain in the distance. He knew very well what orphans were because he was an orphan himself.

The distribution of taxes should be introduced soon. Although Congress has announced the methods of tax division and use in recent years, it has not There are detailed rules. This time, the legislators have explained that there will be detailed rules for the publication of taxes in the future. People in each district can check the detailed rules for the use of taxes allocated by the district power.

Lu Qi was worried all the way. He knew that he could not do anything and could not change anything, but if the taxes could be allocated a little more to the orphanage, many orphans could survive.

This orphanage was also taken over by Lu Qi from a grandmother who had taken care of Lu Qi and his brother Luneng in the past.

At this time, Lu Qi looked at the money in his hand, a total of more than 5,000 yuan, and Lu Qi had an idea in his mind. If he just relied on blindly gaining sympathy from others and getting donations, the orphans would not survive. The orphanage can't survive, but when he thought of the failure of the past business, Lu Qi could only shake his head helplessly.

He could only continue to endure. Lu Qi couldn't keep the money in his hands now, but fortunately his younger brother now worked in a lighting and shadow equipment company with a good salary. His younger brother also said that he would find a way to save some money, and then the two brothers would do business together. Only in this way could the orphanage continue to be maintained.

The afternoon sun just began to get a little warm. Lu Qi, sweating all over, carried things across the wooden bridge over the moat. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard bursts of laughter. The solemnity on Lu Qi's face disappeared, and he put down his things with a smile.

"The director is back!"

The children gathered around one by one. His younger brother Luneng was helping some children to dry the clothes they had just washed. The children gathered around happily. Everyone was hungry, swallowing and looking at the eggs in Lu Qi's hand and a large bag of things.

"Hurry up and prepare the things, let's make egg pancakes."

Looking at the children who were helping in front of him, Lu Qi suddenly felt motivated. He couldn't let this place end. He knew what it felt like to be homeless.

"Yincai, what are you doing? Flour can't be eaten directly."

Several older children went over and grabbed a baby who had just learned to walk. She looked hungry and wanted to eat flour directly. Lu Qi smiled and watched the little girl who was left at the door of the orphanage last year grow up vigorously.

But Yincai still licked the flour on her hands and was pulled away by several children to wash her hands. At this time, an older child picked up the music pendant on Yincai's neck. Soon, as the music sounded, Yincai was attracted and chased after it.

The children here are all big and small, taking care of each other. At this time, his younger brother Luneng came over.

"Brother, do you want us to do this first?"

Lu Qi looked at Luneng in confusion.

"This kind of music pendant that makes sounds is very simple to make. I can get the machine to produce the components. You just need to ask the children to help assemble it, and then download some popular songs into it. Even if you sell it for 1 yuan, you can make a lot of money. The cost is only one or two cents."

"This is not..."

Lu Qi hesitated. This is a crime.

"We only sell it in some nearby areas. It will be fine. Recently, I heard that another orphanage has closed down. Many homeless children are like kicking a ball, being kicked back and forth in many orphanages."

Lu Qi looked at Yin Cai, who was chasing this music pendant not far away. This name was given to her by Lu Qi, because she came with this music pendant that changes color and glows, so Lu Qi gave her this name.

"Then you have to be careful, just in case..."

"It's okay, brother. Many people in our company are doing this kind of thing. Besides, we are not doing anything bad."

Lu Qi hummed and looked at the sun in the distance. It looked very dazzling, but it was almost 1 o'clock, and there was still a chill here.

No one knows the current situation here. The problem of orphans has been increasingly marginalized. Now the only person Lu Qi can rely on is a female district councilor who promised her before. She said that she would definitely speak out about this problem in Congress.

In the last district councilor election, Lu Qi brought 13 children over ten years old from her orphanage and cast 14 votes for her, and she just defeated her opponent by 10 votes. After that, the councilor brought 3,000 yuan of consolation money and some food to the orphanage, which helped Lu Qi and the children here to survive the crisis.

"It's okay, big brother, use this method to make the orphanage better for the time being."

Lu Qi nodded. He has been honest and upright all his life, but now he can only listen to his brother and do this illegal business.

1:03 p.m.

There were bursts of applause, and a baby in an exquisite princess dress was crawling on the ground. There were cheers all around. Many people were praising the child, saying that she was smart, beautiful and cute.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the little baby girl seemed very happy and crawled towards some people on the lawn from time to time.

The baby's mother, Fang Qin, was chatting awkwardly with other lawyers' wives. She heard too many words of praise at every gathering. Fang Qin was not used to it, even though her daughter was only a little over one year old.

Fang Qin knew that this was because her husband, Pullman, was not only the president of the Law Association, but also the representative of the lawyers' faction.

Fang Qin was not used to it. No matter how many times, it was the same. She came here for only one purpose, which was to have a good relationship with Pullman's family.

Every time they came, these people would bring a lot of gifts, many of which were expensive. Although Fang Qin wanted to refuse, her husband, Pullman, also said that the family circle was also an extremely important part. Fang Qin naturally knew Pullman's difficulties.

"By the way, Pullman recently said that he wanted to set up an orphan charity foundation. Mrs. Zhu, what do you think?"

"Fang Qin, I think it's better for us not to get involved in this matter."

"Yes, this kind of thing cannot be solved by us alone. Congress must take action. Think about it, tens of thousands of orphans, even if each of them gets 100 yuan a month, it will cost millions!"

Fang Qin didn't continue to talk. Pullman had already told her that she could first test the mouths of these ladies. This matter must be planned step by step. This is a long-standing marginalization problem in the city, and it cannot be solved by the legal system.

At this time, Letty crawled towards Fang Qin, and she picked up her daughter who was smiling like a flower, and many people around her gathered around.

Daughter Letty was carried over again. Although Fang Qin wanted to say something, she could only force a smile.

Many people said that they liked children, they also wanted one, or simply adopted one, but Fang Qin knew that these were just polite words.

Fang Qin was a little scared because she was afraid that her daughter would become like those people around her who always said one thing and meant another.

A sense of fear enveloped Fang Qin's heart. Marrying Pullman was the luckiest thing in her life. Everything about her husband was good, but this circle made Fang Qin unbearable.

Fang Qin didn't know why these people always made simple things very complicated, saying and doing things against their will without feeling any shame at all, as if it was a very normal thing.

Many times Fang Qin wanted to talk to her husband Pullman, but many times Pullman said she was very tired and too busy at work, and always said there was no need to worry, it was fine, etc. Although Fang Qin did not complain, There is still something uncomfortable somewhere in my heart.

or! Take Letty to the ground floor?

This is not the first time that Fang Qin has had such an idea, but the current situation certainly does not allow it. Letty will definitely be a young lady in the future. Fang Qin has seen many children here, all of whom have a young lady's temper and are arrogant and unruly. , and are biased and wary of many things.

At this time, the air began to get hotter, and Fang Qin also welcomed everyone into the house. She held her daughter and looked back at all the mess in the yard, where several servants were cleaning up.

"It's going to be too hot here. You can clean it up when it gets cooler."

As Fang Qin said, many people in the room were already talking and laughing, and several servants looked at Fang Qin very gratefully.

"Madam, there will be a dinner here later, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. Thank you, madam, for your kindness."

As the steward said, the servants started to clean up despite the scorching sun, and Fang Qin gave another instruction.

"Then everyone should be careful not to get heat stroke, and don't force it."

Many servants nodded gratefully and watched Fang Qin enter the room. The servants all respected Mrs. Pullman. She was a very nice person and would not order them around casually. She was also kind to them and never treated them badly. They are treated as inferior human beings.

The scorching sun in the afternoon is shining on the eastern farms, and work has begun to stop in many farmlands. Because the temperature is too high, many farmlands can only work intermittently. They need to work for half an hour and cool down for at least 10 minutes. Otherwise, they will easily suffer from heatstroke. .

In the past, the temperature in the eastern farms was relatively high. Now with the addition of the dust isolation wall that stretches outside the eastern grain base, the temperature is even higher. In many cases, the wind blowing over is hot.

Located in the crop processing plant, next to an assembly line, women are working with sweating profusely. They are all wearing relatively cool clothes. They use a peeling machine to peel off the skins of potatoes one by one. The potato skins are put directly into the table next to them. In the inedible treatment box, it will be transported away immediately after the box is filled. After the soil is mechanically removed, the potato peels are directly made into crop nutrient solution.

This is a job that 12 Branch launched a few years ago that is suitable for most women. It handles the inedible parts of vegetable crops, which can save food merchants most of their time and does not require additional food cleaners.

Some of the women here were arrested and sent here after engaging in illegal body trade. Most of them are here for the second time.

Although all this can be done directly using machinery, manpower is still used because jobs can be provided. The salary for women here is 650 yuan a month.

Many women were working hard, because everyone had a quota that was stipulated to be completed. At this time, there was a burst of crying babies, and for a while, there were a lot of crying babies in the entire factory.

Starting from March this year, the 12th Section opened a special case, allowing some women with children to come to work and bring their own children. The 12th Section also provided them with a children's food, and allowed women with children to live in four-bedroom apartments. dormitory.

Bayek smiled and looked at Larry on his back. Although he was awakened by the cries of other children, Larry did not cry. He just watched his mother working obediently.

"Your son is so good."

Some people couldn't help but praise that Bayek showed his white teeth. Although his skin was dark, the thin appearance in the past was gone. He once thought that he was finished, but he didn't expect that after coming here, he would have a job and a child. Good food and medical care are also available.

For workers in 12 Branch, medical treatment is free. No matter what kind of disease they get while working, 12 Branch will be responsible for the treatment. This is the key point that many people are willing to sign long-term contracts with 12 Branch in recent years.

Because some people did get seriously ill or had accidents while working, and they all received proper care and compensation.

It’s just that most people don’t want to work here for the rest of their lives, and they still want to save enough money and leave. Bayek thinks the same way. She plans to work for 10 years, and when her child grows up healthy and strong, she will take her child away and let him Go to a good school.

What makes many people heartwarming recently is that people from the 12th subject will take the time to gather some children and teach them some simple knowledge, from arithmetic to literacy.

All this is thanks to Natasha, the secretary of Section 12, who promoted all this based on her hard work in the Agriculture Section.

No one was optimistic about it when it was first implemented, but after it was implemented, many people applauded it.

At this time, the temperature in the factory began to drop, many women put on coats, and Bayek also hurriedly took measures to keep his children warm.

When the outside temperature rises, the temperature regulator in the factory will automatically start to cool down to protect the freshness of the ingredients.

This is the most difficult time of the day in the factory, when the factory door opens.

For a moment, everyone looked at the door. Some people from Section 12 walked in, including secretary Natasha. Many people looked over happily and stood up.

"I'm disturbing you all!"

As we all know, this is what Natasha often does nowadays. She will go to factories or farmland to randomly inspect workers, and then listen to their opinions on the working environment and working methods. After that, Natasha Tasha will summarize everyone's opinions and make certain improvements.

Faced with all the chatter, Natasha listened quietly and kept nodding. In the past, she always argued with Clark, but now Natasha doesn't think so anymore. The management of the Agriculture Department is led by Na Tasha was in charge, while Clark managed the research.

Although Natasha still didn't like Clark's actions, Clark never had any excuse for his actions. Ye Chunwang talked to her many times, and Natasha also understood. Instead of letting others understand her, The concept is that it is better to do it yourself and do it yourself.

Some people have pointed out that it is too cold and the temperature is abnormally high. It may be fine for adults, but it will be problematic for children. However, many people still say that their joints may develop chilblains if they work in low temperatures for a long time.

Natasha smiled and nodded.

"I will collect everyone's opinions and organize them. Soon we should provide you with some warmer gloves and clothes."

Natasha has a good memory. This is the 109th time someone has mentioned this matter. She plans to start doing it after she goes back. The only thing that can be done now is the light and shadow material, which can control the density of the clothes at any time, so that the heat can be achieved. It is breathable when it is cold and keeps warm when it is cold, but 12 Branch does not have that much money to use light and shadow materials to achieve it. The only way is to use fibers from some crops to make it.

At this time, Natasha also asked everyone to go back to work, and then planned to make a tour before leaving. She walked slowly behind the female workers who worked hard, looking at their thick and calloused hands. If she had been there before, If it hadn't been for Alpha's suggestion, perhaps Section 12 had already used machinery to handle it. Now it's not easy to pass on this cost to wholesale merchants and create so many jobs.

A small black hand stretched out. Natasha stopped and looked at the dark-skinned baby. The little hand stretched out. Natasha stretched out a finger and looked at the dark-skinned baby with a smile. The child held his fingers.

Bayek became a little nervous and hurriedly turned around to apologize.

"It's okay. How old is this kid?"

"Six months, my lord."

Natasha smiled and nodded, patted the child's little face, and walked away with a smile. Her next step was to promote a plan. If the children of people who have worked in the agricultural field for a long time are willing, they can get a stipend for the 12th class. , after completing the studies in the Acting Department, directly enter the 12th Department.

"The land can also speak. If you treat the land gently, the things you grow will be delicious!"

When Natasha came to the door, she looked back at everything in the factory. Now that she thought about it carefully, Natasha now understood what Ye Chunwang often said before.

"That idiot Clark will probably never understand in his lifetime. He only knows about production and production. People are neither tools nor machines."

Natasha walked out of the factory and glanced at the endless farmland. She took off her hat and let her long hair flow down. She raised her head slightly, feeling the alluring fragrance of grain in the air. She always felt particularly comfortable. Until now, she I finally like this job.

1:23pm

Accompanied by a strong aroma, Hawke raised his thumbs in praise and looked at the barley tea in the cup, which was mellow and sweet.

"Not bad, Ye Chunwang."

Ye Chunwang smiled and took out a small bag of homemade barley tea from his trouser pocket and handed it to Hawke.

"If you want to eat in the future, come to my house."

Hawk laughed. The two of them were in a small room. They had not participated in the discussion of the business department. They were already people from a long time ago. Originally, Hawke did not intend to come to this audit. But Ye Chunwang pulled him along.

"Has the matter on the farm been resolved?"

Ye Chunwang smiled and nodded.

"It's no problem anymore. Although the two children are doing their own things, they are both working hard. I don't plan to ask any questions."

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door of the room. Hawke turned his head and the yellow particles pulled the door handle. After opening it, Locke stood respectfully at the door.

"What's wrong, Fatty, aren't you supposed to have a meeting with the section chiefs?"

Hawke asked with a smile. Locke walked in and closed the door. Ye Chunwang took out a cup and poured Locke a cup of wheat tea.

"Tired!"

Locke pressed his forehead. The moment he saw the two of them, all the fatigue on his face showed.

Hawke smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Just know that you are tired. This is the fate of being a general manager. How can you not be tired?"

Locke took a sip of wheat tea and glared at Hawke sideways.

"If you hadn't been fooling me all day long, I"

Ye Chunwang smiled helplessly.

"You can only be the chubby one for this position. No one else has the ability to be as inclusive as you are."

Ye Chunwang said and Hawke nodded.

"I'm not as good as you, Xiaopang. I'm very good at coordinating the relationship between the 12 departments and the relationship with the parliamentarian factions. The same is true for businessmen and the family. Everyone knows that if there is a problem, just go to the general manager."

Locke lay on the table. He had thought of opening a restaurant after finishing his work at the Academy of God. This was also Locke's most beautiful pursuit in life, but now he didn't know how long this heavy job would last.

"I have something I must tell you, Fatty."

Hawke looked serious, and Locke was a little confused.

"Wanrou, that child, seems to be quite decadent recently. Can you go and see her?"

For a moment, Locke's expression became solemn. He had heard something about it. Ye Chunwang nodded.

"You are all our students. At that time in school, Wanrou had the best relationship with you. You have to consider some things, Fatty. She is a good girl."

"I know, you two, I came here to discuss something with you this time."

The two looked at Locke seriously and immediately knew that it was about the next tax bill.

"It will be an extremely fierce debate later, Fatty. You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Ye Chunwang said, and Locke nodded in understanding.

"How to deal with those marginalized issues?"

Gary Locke pressed his forehead in frustration. Hawke and Ye Chunwang shook their heads for a moment. They didn't know how to deal with it. It was obviously a very simple problem, but it was extremely difficult to deal with it now.

"What is the purpose of the city conference, Fatty!"

Gary Locke pressed his forehead in frustration, and Ye Chunwang said.

"I have said too many big words in the past, and these big words are impossible to fulfill in a short time!"

Hawke nodded.

"There is no story of having the best of both worlds in this world, Fatty. Making choices is the most difficult thing for us humans! The era I live in is like this, Fatty. You have been with me for so long, so you naturally know it."
