Chapter 138: Grimm's Fairy Tales
"I don't dare to do it," I smiled, "Speaking of which, this is not my personal matter, I should say that it concerns the whole society." β
"Oh?" Mr. Wilson was slightly surprised, "Well, I don't know what kind of thing it is." β
"Mr. Wilson, do you know of an orphanage on the outskirts of this city? It was converted from a former monastery. β
"This ......," he nodded slightly, "I've heard of it, but it's said that it has always been run by private individuals, and it doesn't seem to have been run by politicians yet. Permission from the government. β
"Yes." I bowed my head, "This morning it just got a political . Ministry of Prefectural Affairs. The approval of the door can be in politics from now on. Government of the government. Legalized operation under the support of the policy...... I came to you today because of this orphanage, and I want to rent the front page of your magazine. β
"What do you mean by Miss Furcummings?" He tilted his head and motioned for me to continue.
I looked at him sincerely and said bluntly: "Mr. Wilson, over the years, there has been no political . With any support from the government, it is Mrs. Green's hard work to maintain the livelihood of the entire orphanage, and life is very hard, so I hope to use your journal to carry forward Mrs. Green's deeds and call on people to actively participate in public welfare undertakings, so as to promote the development of public welfare undertakings in the whole society. β
"Miss Furcummings, this ......," he frowned, looking embarrassed, "since this orphanage is now a political institution. Institutions under the jurisdiction of the government, then to carry forward its spirit in the whole society to set an example, is the government. The government came forward to do this, we are a private organization, I'm afraid it's not good to overstep the bounds......"
Excuse me, huh?
I smiled lightly, "Mr. Wilson is not right to say this, the newspaper and media have the obligation to correctly guide public opinion and transmit positive energy, not to mention. It is the responsibility of every citizen to support public welfare, Mrs. Green can selflessly take out her meager pension to raise more than 30 orphans, and there are many enthusiastic people in the society over the years. β
His complexion was slightly unnatural. "But Miss Furcummings, having already done so. The government's support and subsidies, as well as a lot of donations raised through formal channels, will be sent to this orphanage one after another, which is enough to maintain the normal life of the entire orphanage, and in my opinion, it seems that they do not need to get social donations through publicity in the news media. β
I took a deep breath, "Mr. Wilson, we don't just want donations from society, we promote Mrs. Green's deeds. The purpose of putting this orphanage in the media is to urge the society as a whole to pay more attention to these orphans, and to call on all citizens to give love and care to the orphans. β
Mr. Wilson was silent for a moment, and he hung his head in thought.
"So. Okay......" After a while, he finally came down. "I admire Miss Furmings' public welfare, so I will immediately send the best reporters to collect the news, and the press release will be published in the newspaper early tomorrow morning."
"No, Mr. Wilson," I said, sitting on the couch. The tone was flat but clear, "One day is not enough, I want the front page headlines of the Andu Times for the next week." β
Hearing this, he was really stunned, "Miss Furcummings." Please forgive me for not being able to do this. β
As expected, I looked at him calmly and did not rush to refute.
His face sank, "I have made an exception to Miss Furmings' request just now, and if it continues for another week, it is really against our principles of running a journal, please forgive me for not agreeing." β
I laughed casually, and said more and more unhurriedly: "As far as I know, the Furkmins family just bought out the advertising space of the British Times for the whole year a week ago, Mr. Wilson, is there such a thing?" β
With a slight embarrassment on his face, he nodded his head very inconspicuously.
I would have noticed it, and smiled meaningfully, for Zosi was going to run an ad in their newspaper for a whole year, which immediately created a huge profit for the Metropolitan Times, and it was precisely because of becoming their big customer that Zosi was able to influence and even control the newspaper, which had the largest circulation and influence in the United Kingdom, and further turned the Metropolitan Times into the mouthpiece of the Furcummings family.
"Personally, I didn't make such a request because the Furcumens family was a big customer of your magazine," I said calmly, and my posture became more and more tidy, "It's just that our family has created such a big profit for the "British Times" and still has the intention to continue to cooperate, if the circulation of your journal is affected because of this public welfare act, all the losses suffered by your journal will be borne by the Furcummins family, not to mention ......"
I hooked my lips and smiled, "I don't think this public welfare act will necessarily cause your journal to suffer, on the contrary, in today's increasingly improving civic quality, this kind of positive humanitarian behavior, everyone will buy it, if this is the case, such a good thing to establish the image of your journal, why not Mr. Wilson?" β
At this point, Mr. Wilson could not help laughing, and he shook his head while laughing, and his words were quite helpless, "Miss Furcmings is really very powerful, not only beautiful and moving, but also very impressive in wisdom and eloquence...... In that case, what else can I say," he said, standing up and solemnly extending his right hand to me, "I agree to Miss Furmings' request and am willing to actively contribute to the cause of social welfare." β
I got up, smiled and shook my hand at him, "Thank you, Mr. Wilson, thank you very much." β
"Don't say that." He smiled and said, "Well, I'll make people ...... right now."
"Wait a minute." I stopped him, "May you allow me to make one more request?" β
"Miss Furmings, please."
I said bluntly: "Who wrote the last time the British Times reported on the Furcummins family's engagement banquet?" Can you bring her to me? β
Mr. Wilson was puzzled, "Are you trying to ......?"
"That's right." I bowed my head and said, "I've seen that report, and it's very well written, so I thought it would be fitting for her to write this interview." β
"Hmm." He pondered for a moment, "Since Miss Furcumens admires her, please wait here for a moment, and I will get her at once." β
"Thank you again, Mr. Wilson." I smiled genuinely at him.
Five minutes later, a girl knocked on the door and entered.
"Hello, Miss Furcummings." The girl, with neat short hair and a smart dress, stood respectfully in front of me and bowed.
I looked at her slightly, and motioned for a look, "Please take a seat." β
"Okay." She sat down on the couch next to me, respectful but not inhibited.
"You wrote the article "A Love Born from Youth, Continuing to Write a Lifetime of Eloquent Qinyin"?" I asked.
"Yes, Miss Furmings, my name is Lisa." The girl replied calmly, looking at her age of about twenty-five, she should have just graduated, and it is rare that her writing is really outstanding.
I nodded slowly, "The writing is very good, the text is delicate and full of feelings, and what is especially rare is that the perspective is unique, the entry point is very good, it can be said that it stands out from the crowd in the finished report." β
"Miss Furcumens has won the prize." Keeping to herself and not being busy asking for credit, I have a very good impression of this Lisa.
"In that case, I won't go around the bush anymore, I just called you here because I have an interview with the orphanage here and want to give it to you."
Still with a calm and calm complexion, she bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, "I am honored to work for Miss Furcummings." β
"Well, I will ask my assistant to tell you the specific address of this orphanage later, you must carefully understand its development process, especially the director Mrs. Green, I want you to show her kind and selfless character completely and meticulously, do not exaggerate rhetoric, and strive to be fair and to the point, delicate and detailed, understand?"
"Yes, Miss Furcummings."
"Show it to me when you're done." I said.
"Yes."

It was afternoon when I came to the orphanage again, but I couldn't wait to tell Mrs. Green and Sanny the good news.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Green heard this, she looked incredulous, "Ruori, you...... Are you serious? β
Before I could answer, Ye Ningchen had already taken the words, and the joy between his words was revealed, "It's really Mrs. Green. The government has specially approved that you can provide private assistance, and the orphanage will still be managed by you, and will also buy facilities for you, and provide you with support and subsidies. β
βReallyοΌοΌβ Shanni was already jumping for joy, "We can finally save so much, and we can find someone to repair the house, as well as the children's clothes and stationery...... Oh, two days ago David was clamoring for pizza, and now it can be ......"
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Sunny happy, "It's just that, Mrs. Green, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, I'm sorry that I didn't discuss this matter with you beforehand. β
"Don't say that, kid." Mrs. Green hugged me gently, "I should thank you for the orphanage, I am really grateful to your child......"
"Oh yes, there's one more thing." It occurred to me that I lifted my head from her shoulder.
"What?" Mrs. Green let go of me and asked.
"It's the name of the orphanage," I smiled softly, "because we're going to politics. When the government department approved the registration, they asked us to report the name of the orphanage, so I took one on my own initiative, please don't blame me. β
"What is that saying," said Mrs. Green, smiling lovingly, "how can I blame you, I am sure that your name must be better than that of my old woman, tell me quickly, what is it?" β
I chuckled and looked at Mrs. Grimm, my eyes shining, "It's from your name, it's 'Grimm's fairy tales.'" (To be continued......)
