The first and second floors of the main building of the orphanage had just been renovated a few days ago, and there was still a strong smell of paint, and there was a burst of chaotic reading sounds from the third floor.
Zhou Zichen walked up to the third floor. The lights were on in the second and third classrooms on the third floor. Zhou Zichen quietly walked to the second classroom. All the younger students who were still in elementary school were in this classroom, and there were a few others.
Children who are older and already in high school are teaching these younger children.
Walking to the third classroom, this classroom is full of children who are already in junior high school or high school, and Tian Huizhen is tutoring these children personally.
There are nearly a hundred children in the entire orphanage, and it is quite difficult for Tian Huizhen to tutor them all by herself.
Zhou Zichen stood outside and looked at these children, all of them were so diligent, and he felt very pleased.
All the children have put on new clothes, which is completely different from the former orphanage.
In the former orphanage, all the clothes were old clothes donated by others, or clothes replaced by older children. There was not enough funds to buy new clothes for the children, and even shampoo was not enough.
Children's hair is long, and over time, it looks a little greasy.
Now all the children were clean, wearing brand new clothes, and studying and doing their homework seriously. Zhou Zichen couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.
Zhou Zichen has never been proud of earning millions or tens of millions, let alone satisfied. But seeing his children's lives getting better and becoming more motivated, Zhou Zichen feels that this is what he pursues.
After watching for a long time, Zhou Zichen wanted to leave quietly, but Tian Huizhen saw Zhou Zichen at the door, showed a surprised smile, and walked out quickly: "When did you come back?"
"I came back today. After finishing the matter, I came to take a look." Zhou Zichen said, "Thank you for your hard work at the orphanage."
Tian Huizhen smiled happily: "It's not hard, I like being with these children."
"Then why haven't you returned to school so late?" Zhou Zichen looked at the time, and it was still around eight o'clock in the evening.
"I live in an orphanage now. I have breakfast before going to school." Tian Huizhen said.
Zhou Zichen knew that Tian Huizhen would be in a lot of trouble, so he asked: "Can you keep up with your studies?"
"It's no problem, I'm very good at reading." Tian Huizhen said confidently.
"Then what will you do after graduation?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Tian Huizhen hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Zichen, and whispered: "If you don't think I'm in the way, can I come to work in the orphanage?"
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but chuckled twice: "How can I dislike you? If a top student like you is willing to come, I will welcome it."
"Then I will work here after graduation." Tian Huizhen winked at Zhou Zichen: "You can't go back on your word."
Zhou Zichen nodded: "Why would you regret it? Actually, there is something you can consider."
"What happened?" Tian Huizhen asked.
Zhou Zichen thought about it for a moment. Wang Ziqi is now busy with the detective agency and has little time to manage the orphanage. The orphanage does need someone to manage it. Tian Huizhen likes these children and is a good candidate.
: "What do you think about becoming the director of an orphanage?"
Tian Huizhen's eyes lit up, then dimmed: "I want to come too. If I don't study, my parents will be very disappointed."
Zhou Zichen can understand that Tian Huizhen's parents desperately wanted to send Tian Huizhen to study. Now that she finally went to college, Tian Huizhen stopped studying. It must have been a big blow to her parents.
Zhou Zichen thought for a moment and asked jokingly: "You will be in charge of the orphanage. I will help you get in touch with the school. In the future, you only need to go back and take the exam. The credits will not be a problem. You will still have a diploma by then. In case something happens to you because of the orphanage."
If your affairs have delayed you, then I will support you."
"I don't want you to support me, Ziqi will definitely be unhappy." Tian Huizhen retorted in a low voice. Tian Huizhen liked Zhou Zichen, but she always had her own small inferiority complex in her heart. Wang Ziqi came back from studying abroad, and Mengdi became a child at a young age.
Although he is the captain of the criminal police brigade, he is just an ordinary college student. If it were not for Zhou Zichen, he would just go to a certain school to be a teacher. Compared with the two of them, he is really too ordinary.
Zhou Zichen didn't hear Tian Huizhen's little thoughts: "I have the final say, would you like to be the director of the orphanage? You don't have to worry about the school."
Tian Huizhen was silent for a while: "I do."
"Okay, I will help you make arrangements tomorrow. Then you just need to go back and take the exam." Zhou Zichen said, "Then we will calculate your salary at 30,000 a month."
"You don't need that much, just three thousand a month." Tian Huizhen was cruel to herself, and cut off nine-tenths of it as soon as she opened her mouth.
But Zhou Zichen said very "overbearingly": "I have the final say on this. It's only thirty thousand a month. Don't spend your own money on the orphanage. Save some for yourself."
The two of them chatted in the corridor for a long time. When it was almost nine o'clock, the staff of the orphanage came up with several large boxes of pure milk and distributed them to all the children.
Now Wang Ziqi has already stipulated the food in the orphanage. Breakfast must have milk, lunch must have more than three meat dishes for the children to choose from, and some vegetarian dishes. Two hours before going to bed at night, all children must drink milk.
Life is already higher than the national average.
In the evening, Zhou Zichen slept in the orphanage and chatted with Tian Huizhen until most of the night, mainly about the development of the orphanage.
Zhou Zichen hopes that all his children can go to college. Of course, Zhou Zichen will provide the money. The main problem is their homework. Tian Huizhen needs to pay attention to it. The living conditions are already very good as they are now.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zichen went to the detective agency to find Wang Ziqi. Now Wang Ziqi also serves as the director of the orphanage, so he has to say hello to Wang Ziqi for all these matters.
When Wang Ziqi saw Zhou Zichen, she didn't seem surprised. She glanced at Zhou Zichen without saying anything, as if she was a little unhappy.
Zhou Zichen didn't notice anything was wrong with Wang Ziqi, so he came up and sat down next to Wang Ziqi: "Ziqi, I want to discuss something with you."
"You came back yesterday, why didn't you come back to sleep?" Wang Ziqi asked.
"I went to the orphanage and slept in the orphanage." Zhou Zichen explained casually.
"Going to see Huizhen?" Wang Ziqi said sourly.
Zhou Zichen was stunned for a moment, then winked at Wang Ziqi: "Are you jealous?"
Wang Ziqi glared at Zhou Zichen: "Why am I jealous? What is there to be jealous about? Didn't you say you have something to tell me? What is it?"
Speaking of the truth, Zhou Zichen was also unambiguous: "That's right. I see that you are also busy and you don't have much time to take care of the orphanage. I plan to let Huizhen manage the orphanage."
"What about her studies?" Wang Ziqi did not refute, but raised the question.
"Just find some connections, let the school keep her student status, and let Huizhen go back to take exams and get her diploma." Zhou Zichen said, he had thought about this problem several times.
"Although what he learned in school may not be useful, what will he do if he finds a job in the future if you are like this? He doesn't have enough professional knowledge." Wang Ziqi continued to raise the jealous issue.
Zhou Zichen said: "This is easy to handle. In the worst case, I will raise her."
"Rogue, pervert!" Wang Ziqi muttered angrily.
"Why have I become such a gangster?" Zhou Zichen quickly realized that he was innocent.
"You know it yourself." Wang Ziqi said and stood up: "You can take care of the matters in the orphanage yourself. I can give up the position of the director at any time."
The reason why Wang Ziqi agreed was because he had been observing Tian Huizhen for a long time. Tian Huizhen was very interested in the orphanage. Even Wang Ziqi could not find fault with Tian Huizhen, otherwise Wang Ziqi would not let go until she died.
"Okay, can you ask someone to help you run over to the school?" Zhou Zichen has no connections if he is showing off like this. Zhou Zichen remembers that the detective agency has a list of Tian Huizhen, a deputy dean of their school, and Wang Ziqi added
It’s great to have such a Russian connection.
Zhou Zichen originally thought that Wang Ziqi would not agree, but who knew that Wang Ziqi actually agreed immediately: "There is no problem with these things. As for other things, you can solve them yourself, especially Tian Huizhen herself... hum..."
Wang Ziqi helped establish relationships with the school, but it took some time for Tian Huizhen to adapt to the management of the orphanage, so Zhou Zichen had to be busy teaching Tian Huizhen and spent more time in the orphanage.
In fact, Tian Huizhen already knew the daily operations of the orphanage very well, and he got started quickly. Zhou Zichen did not need to guide him at all. Zhou Zichen did more to help check, and Tian Huizhen suddenly encountered something unexpected.
"Zi Chen, your express delivery." Zhou Zichen was studying with Tian Huizhen how to add extra classes to the children without taking up too much of their time.
Zhou Zichen took it and said quickly: "Thank you."
I checked the express delivery and it was from Li Tingfeng.
After opening the express delivery, Li Amin only had a dark red invitation. When he opened it, he saw that it was a lecture by Master Taishan Zhuang Sheng in the antique industry.
The lecture is three days later, and the people who can attend this time are all industry insiders. Zhou Zichen really wants to see what the master's level is, and see if he can learn a few tricks.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Zhou Zichen had already made an appointment with Li Tingfeng and the two of them would enter the venue together.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Tingfeng also arrived. The two of them said hello and followed the flow of people into the venue.
With Zhuang Sheng's reputation, as long as she goes to a certain place to give a lecture, there is no need to worry about personnel, it will definitely be full.
Zhou Zichen and Li Tingfeng's seats were in the first row. They reached their seats easily. Within two minutes of sitting down, Zhou Zichen saw Li Yao.
When Li Yao looked at Zhou Zichen, there was a coldness and hatred in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face. People who didn't know better thought that Li Yao was greeting him.
But Zhou Zichen knew that Li Yao was choosing him. Li Yao wanted to kill him, how could he look good on him.
Zhou Zichen withdrew his gaze and ignored Li Yao, because Zhou Zichen was very sure that Li Yao did not dare to attack him in Jiangdong City.
