Chapter 446: The itinerary has changed
Sophia took Fu Zhengyi and his group of five people, and it was already half past one in the afternoon when they arrived at the long-distance station from the airport.
Stale bus station, spacious but dilapidated station square.
There is a constant stream of passengers, and some long-distance buses to various places stop on the side of the road to pick up passengers.
The correspondent appointed by the international charity was George, a Belgian, young and vigorous, but it seemed that he had been sunburned and a little listless after waiting too long.
The cameraman from France was a bearded man who was familiar with Sophia, and when he saw someone arrive, he hurried over to help carry his luggage, but he could not help but be a little stunned when he saw that the trunk of the taxi was empty.
"The straight-line distance from here to Xiaojin County, where Luke is located, is only more than 100 kilometers, but most of them are mountain roads, so it takes more than four hours to get to ......."
Sophia briefly introduced the situation and led everyone into the station to take the train.
But when Fu Zhengyi arrived at the ticket gate, he saw that the shuttle bus to Xiaojin County not only had two departures a day, but the condition of the bus was so bad that it scared people to death, so he took the ticket that Sophia was holding in his hand. "The condition of the car is really bad, let's go out and charter a taxi with a big diǎn......"
Hearing Fu Zhengyi speak French, the reporter had a black face. "Tickets can only be exchanged and cannot be refunded! The money of charitable organizations cannot be wasted!"
"From now on, all the expenses of the journey will be borne by me!" As soon as they met, they noticed that this reporter seemed to be faintly hostile to him, and Fu Zhengyi was a little inexplicable, so he went back directly.
Journalist George was on fire. "Waste is a shame!"
Fu Zhengyi looked down at reporter George's shoes, and saw that they were a pair of rare 'mammoth' brand hiking boots in China, so he deliberately pouted. "Selling these shoes on your feet is enough for a volunteer like Luke to live here for three or four years, and luxury is even more of a crime!"
His expression froze, he lowered his head and looked at his hiking boots, and then looked at the clothes and equipment of Fu Zhengyi's line, and reporter George was silent with a dark face.
After leaving the station, Fu Zhengyi first bought a map, then found a ninety percent new Iveco, negotiated the price and handed over the ticket, asking to offset part of the fare.
Sitting in the car, Shang Tiejun saw that the driver was happy to go to the station ± ◇dǐng±◇diǎn±◇ Xiao ±◇ and said, .2∷3.o□s_(); Runbian asked. "Have you been to Shudu before?"
"No, the first time!"
"Then how do you know that you can get the driver to refund the ticket?"
"Taxi drivers have to make a living around the station, and they can do these things, which is not unusual......
Seeing that Shang Tiejun wanted to continue to ask questions, Hu Yan pulled his sleeve and shook his head.
Hu Yan's small actions did not escape Fu Zhengyi's eyes, and the shrewdness and attitude towards Shang Tiejun shown by this woman on the way over made Fu Zhengyi feel that if Shang Tiejun was with her, he would definitely be in a position of being 'managed and suppressed'.
The car started, and after leaving the city, Shang Tiejun told him about the phone call he had with a local friend, and finally said. "That's what my buddy Liu Dahai said, the local people are fierce and it is a national-level poverty-stricken county, and everything is generally suppressed, so the situation of this 'Sunshine Welfare Institute' is really not good......
Hearing that a local person came to the provincial capital to complain and was escorted back by the local public security organ, Fu Zhengyi's heart chuckled.
Especially when he recalled what Tommy said earlier that he had remitted '3,000 Canadian dollars' to the account of the welfare institution as a donation, he thought of an extremely terrifying and unconscionable possibility!
He took out a pen, spread out the map, circled the Xiaojin County where the teacher Luke is located, and then marked the Chuanjin County where the Sunshine Welfare Institute is located.
"Chuanjin County, that's not easy to walk, there is no direct road in the middle, you have to go back thirty kilometers to the north, but you have to take a long detour......"
"If you go directly from Shudu to Chuanjin County, how many detours will you have to take?"
"Uh...... It's basically the same distance from here, but it's harder to walk, and it takes more than five hours to get there......"
Luke, the teacher, couldn't run away anyway, and it didn't matter if he went to the interview a day earlier or a day later, but if the Tommy couple was fast, they would be able to arrive in Chuanjin County this afternoon to go through the adoption procedures, and they would return home with the baby early tomorrow morning.
"Dajun, I think there must be something wrong with this Sunshine Welfare Institute! I'm worried that they have deliberately created a lot of 'orphans' in order to obtain donations from foreigners, what do you think?"
Frightened by the possibility that Fu Zhengyi said, Shang Tiejun's eyes widened. "Isn't it? Artificially created orphans to exchange for money, and this kind of thing can happen?"
"I hope not, but someone came to the province to file a complaint, and the welfare home received donations from foreign adopters in advance, and I always felt that it would be terrible if it was really what I guessed......"
"It's not just terrible! It's inhuman! How dare they?"
"Chuanjin County is a national-level poverty-stricken county, and I estimate that the annual income of the locals will not exceed 2,000 yuan, and a baby can be sold for tens of thousands.
"This is a child sale! Not a cat or a dog! A baby is a baby! A living child!"
"I can't do it at the moment, if you think you should find out, then we need to ask the driver to turn around and head north, or wait for the Canadian couple on the plane to take the child away, and then try to find evidence, then I don't know how long it will take......
"Let's go directly to Chuanjin County! If this kind of thing really exists, it will be a loss of conscience and the anger of people and gods! I don't know, forget it, if I don't care about it and avoid it, I'm not even as fucking a beast!"
Punching the armrest of the seat hard, Shang Tiejun asked the driver to stop, jumped down and stood on the side of the road to call home. "Grandpa, I'm Xiaojun! I have something to report to you......"
George, a reporter sitting in the last row, had already fallen asleep, but woke up as soon as the car stopped, and stopped doing it when he heard that he was going to change his itinerary.
"I don't care if you have anything else, I'm here to verify the situation on behalf of an international charity organization, and my duty is to rush to Xiaojin County tonight and go to Luke's school early tomorrow morning for interviews and shooting!"
When communicating with Shang Tiejun, the voices of the two of them were very low, so Fu Zhengyi was very puzzled when he saw Sophia frowning, so he had to explain. "There are priorities, Luke is a volunteer teacher in the mountains and will not leave, sooner or later, it is not a big problem......"
"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean! This interview is our charity's verification of the clues provided by the San Francisco [Foundation], and it involves the charity's next appropriation! I don't care if you have any urgent matters now, my photographer and I must rush to Xiaojin County tonight, otherwise we would rather go there ourselves than be delayed because of what you call ...... 'urgent'"
Sophia, who was standing on the side, didn't know why Fu Zhengyi wanted to change her itinerary, but she firmly stood on Fu Zhengyi's side. "George, since he said so, there must have been a more urgent event than going to Xiaojin County to interview Luke, I hope you can respect and obey his choice, instead of blindly insisting on following the plan of your charity association!"
"Sophia! What are you kidding? Do you know how heavy my interview task is? I didn't accompany a college student like him to come here to play in the mountains and rivers! I came here with a charity audit task, and I need to be responsible for the one I interviewed, and the results of my review will affect the amount and time of the charity's funding......
There were a lot of reasons, which made Fu Zhengyi more and more upset the more he listened, so he simply took out his mobile phone and called Professor Mihil, asking the reporter how much money the international charity represented by George was going to allocate for this?
"It is not a question of how much money to allocate, but a question of what scale the scope of influence can be expanded, and it represents the attention that the event itself can arouse, as well as the corresponding institutional changes......"
"That means that if they cancel their interview and filming plans, it will be bad for charity itself?"
"Yes, because philanthropy requires everyone's attention and participation, so that more people can contribute. George: I've seen his briefing, his attitude may not be very friendly, but he doesn't receive any remuneration from the charity, he helps the charity to visit, report, publicize, and donate two-thirds of his personal property seven years ago, and he also buys a high insurance policy for himself, and designates the beneficiary as a charitable foundation, so if his attitude or style offends you, I believe that many people who know him will be willing to apologize to you for him......"
Hearing this, he glanced at the reporter George who was still glaring at him, and Fu Zhengyi was a little helpless. "Okay, although I don't like his tone very much, but since he even donated himself, his tone is stinky and his temper is bad, but as long as it doesn't touch the bottom limit of what I can tolerate, then I'll bear with it first......"
Hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengyi saw that Shang Tiejun was still on the phone, so he came to the reporter George, and hesitated before speaking. "If you can promise not to reveal what you see, hear, or know without permission, then I can tell you the reason for the change of itinerary, and I promise to convince you to agree to make changes to my itinerary!"
Although what Fu Zhengyi said was a little twisted, reporter George still understood, and he hesitated for a moment before he reluctantly diǎn diǎn head...... (To be continued.) )
