Chapter 3 Acting in people
The next morning, the orphanage was silent. Orphans who were supposed to go to school skipped school en masse, only because a few very unwelcome guests came to the orphanage today.
Li Xuan, head of the Social Rescue Section of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and three other entourages came to discuss the ownership of the orphanage.
Li Xuan is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, relying on perseverance and hard work, plus her family's background, to sit in the position of section chief. After getting married, she wanted to be an example and set an example for her children.
She was very happy to come to the orphanage and was able to do something practical for the children so that they could grow up happily.
Li Xuan was puzzled, she could feel the children's hatred of her. and the resentment that looms in his eyes.
The burlap clothes and her children are simply one in the sky and one in the ground.
Perhaps the children misunderstood her purpose and thought she was here to destroy their home. But what is there? An order has been issued from above to plan the orphanage into a social welfare institution.
Although Li Xuan is also very puzzled, why should the orphanage be planned?
Following Ye Tiansheng to the dean's office, Li Xuan's mood became heavy. At a glance, there are two chairs, three benches, a table, and a lamp. In the past 40 years, it has made every effort to help orphans. How much does it cost millions a year? I can't imagine that the office is so shabby.
Looking at Ye Tiansheng, who was wearing a gray-white robe and dressed as an old pedant, he felt a good feeling......
The resolute face has clear water chestnut angles, the facial features are upright and exudes a breath, and the pale face and thin body are like green pines standing in the cold wind.
A big boy with an ancient style and a polite style. Li Xuan secretly commented.
"Section Chief Li, to make a long story short, I don't want to hand over the orphanage to the state management. First, the children are used to living here, and secondly, my grandfather has dedicated his life here, and I hope to continue it. Ye Tiansheng looked at Li Xuan carefully. With a height of more than one meter and six meters, Yang Liu's thin waist and full figure, her delicate face cannot see the traces left by the years, and she can't see that she has a child at all. It's like a girl waiting to be married.
Her short hair makes her even more heroic.
At that station, you can feel the majesty coming from her, which is the momentum of a person who has been in the top position for a long time.
"Do you think you can do this position well? As you may know, the annual cost of the orphanage is a drop in the bucket compared to the orphanage, although there is a lot of funding. With the fame of the old dean Ye Shirong, he may be able to hold out for a year or two, but the fame will soon dissipate, and how many people will fund it at that time? Li Xuan retracted his gaze at Ye Tiansheng and said seriously.
"I will find a way to make money, and when my grandfather opened an orphanage, he also started little by little. Rome wasn't built in a day, I believe Grandpa can do it, and so can I. After Ye Tiansheng gave up his seat to Li Xuan and the others, he said confidently with a smile on his face.
"It's good for young people to be confident, but there are some things that are difficult to do, and then it's too late." Li Xuan said.
"Whether it can be done or not, it takes action, and the result is always unknown. But how can you succeed if you don't act, if you don't work hard? Ye Tiansheng said.
"I'm not here to reason with you today, the orphans in the orphanage must be handed over to the state. If Ye Shirong is alive, the country can rest assured, but you can't. Li Xuan took the water poured by Ye Tiansheng and said frankly.
"I know I'm a little talker, but my decision won't change. When my grandfather founded the orphanage, he had signed an agreement with the Civil Affairs Bureau, the most important of which stipulated that the future direction of the orphanage would be decided by the director of the orphanage, and the Civil Affairs Bureau should not participate in the management of the orphanage, only the right to know. If the orphanage is facing closure, the state will take over all the management of the orphanage. Ye Tiansheng continued, "Now the orphanage is not in danger of going out of business, let alone going out of business, I don't agree with the state to take over, and the Civil Affairs Bureau can't forcibly take over." ”
"It stands to reason that this is your decision, and I can't interfere, but you are not the director of the orphanage yet." Li Xuan said toughly, "Since you are not the dean, the future of the orphanage is worrying, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has the right to take over." ”
"I will apply for this, the orphanage is private, and I am the only legal heir." Ye Tiansheng said equally stiffly.
"I don't agree, and you don't have to apply." As the leader in charge of the social rescue department, Li Xuan still has this right.
"Section Chief Li, I don't think there's any need for us to talk about it." Ye Tiansheng stood up and said.
"I won't give up, the orphanage's business is my business, I don't think you can make the children happy." Li Xuan also stood up and stared at Ye Tiansheng.
"No." Ye Tiansheng turned his head and said.
"I'll come back in two days, you can think about it. The cost of an orphanage for a year is not a small amount. ”
After Ye Tiansheng sent Li Xuan and the others away, he returned to the office alone.
Sit back in a chair and be distracted.
Can it really be managed?
Money, as long as you have money, everything is not a problem.
"Bang Bang..."
The knock on the door woke Ye Tiansheng up. Ye Tiansheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in!" ”
Li Youquan took the lead, followed by his wife He Min, and security guard Wang Bao. The three of them walked into the office, closed the door gently, and sat opposite Ye Tiansheng.
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, is there anything wrong with Brother Wang?" Ye Tiansheng looked at Li Youquan and the three of them opposite, and asked suspiciously.
"The children were so worried that they didn't go to class today," Mr. Li said.
"Take a break for a day, and I'll call the school in a moment." Ye Tiansheng understood the children's feelings, and did not intend to blame.
"Naturally, I have discussed it with you, Aunt Li and everyone. We don't need a salary, and we'll talk about it when we get through this difficult time. Li Youquan said.
"Yes, Innate, we know that you are in difficulty now, it doesn't matter if we are tired and tired, don't let the children go hungry." Wang Bao continued.
"Uncle Li, Brother Wang thanked everyone for me. But I'm not going to take everybody's salary, that's what everybody deserves. Ye Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, and then a sour feeling surged into his heart: "Uncle Li, you don't have to worry, I will find a way to deal with the orphanage." ”
"Heavenly, what did you say when someone from the Civil Affairs Bureau came just now?" Aunt Li asked.
"I didn't agree that the orphanage should be taken over by the political axe, and for the time being, I can't use the funding and state funding that my grandfather used to bring in. After two days, I'll look for funding. Grandpa left a sum of money, although it was not much, it was enough for a short time. Ye Tiansheng wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Let's have a meeting tomorrow night, I have something to say." ”
"Naturally, your surname is Uncle Ge Li knows, and the salary is forgotten. But we have a little heart here, don't shirk. Li Youquan said, took out a bank card from his arms, handed it to Ye Tiansheng and said, "There are 230,000 in the card, which is a little bit of our people's heart." Summer is coming, and many fans are out of use and need to be added. The kids are all grown up, and last year's clothes can't be worn anymore. ”
"I can't take it, this is everyone's hard-earned money over the years, there are elderly people and children in the family, and it is the time to use the money. Besides, it's not easy for everyone to save some money. Ye Tiansheng waved his hand again and again, and then said, "Everyone take this money back, and I'll figure out what I need to buy in the new season." ”
"Born..."
"Uncle Li, if I have to collect your money for such a trivial matter, why should I take over the yard? Rest assured. ”
"Hey! That's it. Li Youquan sighed, and then said, "Naturally, don't embarrass yourself too much, if you really can't do it, hand it over to the political axe." ”
------------------------------------------------
Cao Yongzhong, the chief director and chief planner of the large-scale variety show "Memory". Since the launch of "Memory", Cao Yongzhong has hoped to find a song that can match or be appropriate to "Memory". But seeing that it's been almost two years, I still haven't been able to find a song that fits Cao Yongzhong's heart.
Master creators and musicians are all looking for them.
There is nothing that can satisfy Cao Yongzhong.
Just after the meeting at noon today, Cao Yongzhong returned to the office. Turn on the computer and start reading the documents sorted out by the assistant director and other staff.
The documents are all songs from the latest bidding for the theme song of "Memory", and they were sent to Cao Yongzhong after many screenings.
Although there are a lot of them, Cao Yongzhong still looks at them patiently.
There are several songs that have been specially marked by Cao Yongzhong, although there is still some distance from the requirements of his heart, but they are also appropriate. Continuing to read the document, Cao Yongzhong took a sip of the teacup, and then stared at the document in his hand and refused to move.
"Huh! "Childhood"? ”
The title of the song is good.
Cao Yongzhong nodded and continued to look down.
"On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that I am screaming in summer, on the swing by the field, only butterflies stop on it, the teacher chalks on the blackboard, and I am still desperately chattering and writing, waiting for the end of class, waiting for the end of school, waiting for the game of childhood..."
Cao Yongzhong read it and hummed unconsciously in a low voice. The lyrics are catchy, which evokes Cao Yongzhong's deep memories.
"There is everything in the welfare society, but there is no half a cent in the pocket, Zhuge Shilang and the Devil Party, who grabbed the sword, the girl in the next class, why hasn't she passed by my window, the snacks in my mouth, the comics in my hands, and the childhood of my first love in my heart"
"First love... It's really a long time ago..."Cao Yongzhong unconsciously remembered the girl he had a crush on when he was in junior high school, and he didn't know how she was doing now.
“…… Day after day, year after year, looking forward to growing up in childhood. ”
It is as if looking for the shadow of one's past in "Childhood", the clear pond, the tall banyan tree, the noisy Zhizhi, the butterfly on the swing, the stern and kind elementary school teacher, the long summer that I have been looking forward to......
"Childhood, what a good time, what a free time."
Cao Yongzhong didn't continue to flip through the documents, staring at the lyrics and songs of "Childhood" in a daze, and fell into a memory.
After a long time, Cao Yongzhong stood up and muttered, "Found it, finally found it..."
The theme song of the memory is there.
It has to be "Childhood".
Cao Yongzhong didn't want to delay for a moment, and with the score of "Childhood", he rushed to the assistant director's office.
"Haha, Lao Li, I found it." Cao Yongzhong excitedly pushed open the door of the assistant director Li Ming's office, strode in, and laughed loudly.
"Don't say it, let me guess. Did you find the theme song? As an old friend for many years and have created many shows together, Li Ming knows Cao Yongzhong very well, and did not blame him for breaking into the office, but jokingly pinched his fingers and said, "I guess the name of this song must be childhood, right?" ”
"You thought I'd pick this one?" Cao Yongzhong was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"I'm most optimistic about this song "Childhood", which evokes a lot of memories! Seeing you come in so excited, I guessed that it was pretty much the same. Li Ming took the document and said.
"Lao Li, why didn't you say it earlier? I wasted a lot of eyes. Cao Yongzhong said reproachfully.
"Haha, Director Cao, I said it in advance, can you be so excited?" Li Ming said with a smile.
"Lao Li, quickly contact the person who wrote this song, if it is his own original, start recording immediately." Cao Yongzhong said.
"I've been contacted by email, but my phone hasn't gotten through. Let's wait for the return. ”;
