In the banquet hall, Ye Huan pursed his lips tightly, and the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

The male host also froze obviously, and then turned his head to look at the employees of the administrative department of Tenglong Group in the audience, and made sure that it was not a plot arranged by the organizer, so he could only smile and say: "This gentleman, my words are definitely not exaggerated, what kind of situation is the Ninghai Welfare Institute, if you have time to see it with your own eyes, I believe you must have some feelings." ”

In the crowd, Mao Quan, the son of the director of the Provincial Department of Construction, sneered as if he was intent on making trouble: "What you see with your own eyes must be true?" I rented a dilapidated house and lived in it, and then told everyone that I was poor and begged everyone to give a little, would you like to give alms? ”

The male host was speechless.

Unexpected changes caught him off guard, he didn't expect a very ordinary charity gala, someone made a scene, the male host Rao is anxious, at this time he couldn't make a sound, the party was either rich or expensive, and he naturally didn't dare to offend people if he didn't know the details.

There was a buzz in the crowd.

Although Mao Quan just had no head and no brains, and a few interjections like nonsense, the taste in people's ears changed, as if there was something shady behind this charity gala, so the crowd hesitated and discussed.

Zhou Mei, who has been in charge of preparing for the party, also frowned slightly at this time, and then cast her beautiful eyes on the public relations manager not far away, with a rare stern gaze.

The public relations manager froze for a moment, looked a little panicked, and quickly stabilized his mind, and gestured to the side, Tenglong Group is a large enterprise with a mature and sound mechanism, and has a special public relations team.

As soon as the publicists moved, they took the microphone on stage and diverted the topic.

At this time, on the side of the bandstand, an old voice came, resounding through the hall.

"The host is not exaggerating, our children really can't eat, can't afford to wear, can't afford to read, can't afford to cure diseases, what he said is the truth, I testify as the director of the welfare home!"

The crowd looked at each other in amazement.

The old dean walked with a staggering step, holding Xiaoqing in his left hand, the little girl who had picked up beer bottles in the market and was chased by the restaurant owner's dog, one old and one young, slowly walked up to the stage.

Xiao Qing's two little hands grabbed the old dean's hand, and his clear eyes showed uncontrollable panic and nervousness, and his small mouth was pursed, so scared that he seemed to cry.

Ye Huan's heart sank, and he only felt chaos in his mind when he stood in the crowd.

What's wrong? How did a good thing come to be?

In the surprised and puzzled eyes of everyone, the old dean pulled Xiaoqing to stand still on the stage, slowly glanced around, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone here today is either rich or noble, I am a poor old man standing here, adding to everyone's blockage, I have been hiding in a remote place with my child in my arms, I am afraid that you will see a poor old man standing here, staining everyone's identity, but now I have to stand up and say a few words......"

Facing everyone's eyes, the old dean's body became more and more rickety.

"Just now a gentleman said, I don't believe that there are still people in today's era who can't eat enough, can't dress warmly, I can tell this gentleman, this is the truth, I am the director of the welfare home, the director has been the director for more than 30 years, for more than 30 years, the funds in our hospital have been very tight, the old man is incompetent, the children follow me to suffer, and I am at a loss, I ...... Sorry kids. ”

The old dean burst into tears as he spoke.

"You are all rich people, I don't know what kind of life you live every day, maybe that kind of life is something I never dared to think of, when you are clothed and fed, but you don't believe that there are people in this world who are still hungry and cold, don't blame you, after all, we are in different classes, the old man came here with his children today, it was originally out of place, I just care too much about how much money the joy fund can raise, so that the children can eat a few more bites of meat, and change a few more new clothes......"

The old dean choked up on the stage and couldn't go on.

Ye Huan's tears had already flowed all over his face, and he shouted: "Old dean, don't say it!" ”

When the old dean heard this, he shook his head slowly: "No, I must say that the children are miserable, it is my incompetence as the dean, I can't allow others to doubt, the children's suffering is a fact, not to cheat you out of your money, although we are poor, but not humble, if it is not because we can't get by, who wants to reach out to strangers?" We don't want much, just survival. ”

Offstage, the public relations staff of Tenglong Group had already turned on the slide projector, and a photo was projected on the big screen in the hall.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but attract the past.

The old dean tilted his head slightly, looking at the children's yellow faces in the photo, but smiling brightly, the old tears flowed more and more.

"The child in this photo is named Ah Song, born with polio and his legs are severely atrophied, but he is the most cheerful child in the hospital, he was found in the garbage heap eight years ago, when the steel shovel of the garbage truck almost took his life......

"The child in this photo is named Xiaohui, five years old this year, healthy, no disability, maybe because it is a girl, she was abandoned by her parents when she was an infant, and was sent to a welfare home, she is very introverted, rarely speaks, but she is the most diligent child in the hospital, where the ground is dirty, whose clothes are dirty, she silently helps to do it, although the movements are very clumsy......"

"The child in this photo is named Xiaoqing, the child I am holding next to me, the surname is very cheerful, likes to sing, likes to dance, I have always hoped to wear a white princess dress, dance to her brother Huan......"

The picture flashed on the big screen, and on a table, more than a dozen thinly dressed children gathered in a circle, each holding a small bowl, and there were only four very light vegetarian dishes on the table, without a trace of meat.

With tears in his eyes, the old dean continued to introduce.

"This is the most ordinary meal in our yard, the children eat these every day, but never complain, although the children are poor, but very educated, never fight or grab, every child lives in the yard, I educate them, to know how to be grateful, to cherish everything, for 30 years, grown up children go out, swaddling children come in, I repeat these words, sometimes look at the children are not full, not warm, I squat in the corner crying, the children will come around to comfort: 'Dean Grandpa, we are not hungry, we are not cold', I... …”

The old dean couldn't say any more, covered his face, and wailed and cried with his old body.

When Xiaoqing saw the old dean crying, he also grinned and cried.

In the audience, many people secretly wiped their tears, and sobbing came and went.

Ye Huan, Monkey and Zhang San were already crying.

The old dean paused for a moment, and suddenly raised his voice: "The purpose of saying these words is just to tell you that there are places in the world where the sun does not shine, where there is hunger and cold, maybe you can't understand it, but it is real!" We didn't cheat you out of your money because we really needed it! The children are small, unable to support themselves, they can only open their innocent eyes, waiting for the courtyard to give them food, to give them clothing, today the joy fund to the welfare home to provide an opportunity for the children to be fed and clothed, to be honest, we cherish this opportunity, for tonight's banquet, the children in the courtyard are so excited that they didn't close their eyes all night, if they can't raise money because they doubt our real situation, how can I bear to go back and face the children's disappointed eyes? ”

Everyone in the audience was shocked, and the sound of crying echoed in the hall.

In the crowd, Yang Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a bit of disgust in his eyes.

In his eyes, people are born with class distinctions, and he doesn't like this kind of touching picture, especially when it is a lowly welfare house director who creates this kind of picture.

Mao Quan saw that Yang Su was silent, so he stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "What you said is indeed touching, but how do we know if your words are true or false?" ”

The old dean twisted his eyebrows, and before he could speak, Xiao Qing on the side suddenly broke free of his hand, took a step forward timidly, and met everyone's eyes, Xiao Qing couldn't help but tremble a few times, with tears in his eyes, but he bit his lower lip stubbornly.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Qing suddenly swayed his short body and danced.

"Our motherland is a garden, and the flowers in the garden are so bright......"

Xiaoqing sang and danced at the same time, and the childish singing voice echoed leisurely in the quiet hall, and there was a little grievance and fear in his voice.

Xiaoqing is very young, she doesn't understand the world of adults, she only knows that the dean's grandfather is being harassed now, she can only defend the dean's grandfather in her own way, and fight for a lot of food and new clothes for the brothers and sisters in the welfare home.

Dancing and singing, Xiaoqing's singing voice trembled and choked out of tune, but stubbornly continued to dance immaturely.

Many people in the audience have cried.

Tonight was an unforgettable night for them, and they learned about the suffering of the world.

Ye Huan clenched his fists and suddenly roared.

"Enough! Xiaoqing, stop! ”

Xiaoqing stopped, and when he saw Ye Huan in tears in the audience, he couldn't help but pout, and the grievances that had been accumulated for one night erupted.

"Brother Huan...... I don't like it here, take me back, okay? Xiaoqing cried.

Ye Huan stepped forward in a few steps, stepped onto the bandstand, and looked at the old dean who was full of tears, Ye Huan's heart seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, and he inhaled in pain.

"Old Dean, why bother! Why bother! Ye Huan cried: "Don't you often educate us, we must have backbone to be a man, or we are neither humble nor arrogant, no matter how poor and bitter we are, we must straighten our waists, why do you bow to them?" ”

"Old Dean, we don't stretch out our hands, we don't want their donations, I have worked hard to do all this, in order to let my younger brothers and sisters not worry about food and clothing, but also have a complete and noble personality!"

Ye Huan turned his head, faced the countless powerful people in the audience, and shouted with tears: "We don't want food!" We don't scarce your money! I won't raise donations from you in the future, whether you give your fucking love or not, this money, Tenglong Group will bear it alone! ”
