Chapter 1: The Farthest Man (12)
Cheng Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and drew another cross on the list in front of her. These are all famous businessmen on the list, some of whom have been supporting Tzu Chi Hospital for many years, and some of whom may become new donors of Tzu Chi in the future. She stared at the last few on the list...... She couldn't help but laugh. A green gang boss like this, if she changes her position, she can't think of making friends anyway. Now...... She lightly drew a few question marks on the paper.
Now, as a last resort, she won't do so.
"You've been working so hard these days." Seeing that Cheng Jingyi was still not moving, Mui Yanchun said again.
"I don't want to just do nothing and watch them quit."
"Tzu Chi's Foundation...... Is it really hard to maintain? Anita Mui asked cautiously.
Cheng Jingyi shook her head. She has already found out more about Tzu Chi than she was told before she was appointed. But she couldn't and couldn't bear to tell Anita Mui at this time that Tzu Chi had no funds to use, and that Tzu Chi's other source of income, land rent, had been almost cut off after years of war.
Seeing that Anita Mui's face suddenly darkened, Cheng Jingyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, at least with me for a day, Tzu Chi will not fall easily." If not, we can also apply for government support. Just like that......" she saw the huge portrait of the founder across her desk.
This missionary, who came to Shanghai from mainland Europe, worked diligently for decades to lay a solid foundation for Tzu Chi. Would he have imagined that one day, his hard work would go to waste?
She closed the folder.
Maybe it's because she has been working too long today, and she feels extra tired.
"It's already nine o'clock, Dean." Anitis Mui reminded.
"It's so late, and you're still here with me." Cheng Jingyi looked at the pocket watch, "I'll let the driver send you." ”
"No hassle. The family's car should have arrived. Anita Mui said with a smile. She glanced at the small and delicate pocket watch in Cheng Jingyi's hand.
Cheng Jingyi saw her paying attention, smiled and said, "It's a gift from my mother."
"Have you always had it with you?" Mui Yanchun asked.
"Hmm." Cheng Jingyi also glanced at her pocket watch twice. It's true that I've always been with me, and I've been with her since she left home for the first time to study...... She changed her clothes and walked out with Xiaomei. Sure enough, behind her car, a black Citroen sedan was parked. Seeing them come out, the people in the car got down and shouted, "Yanchun." ”
He walked towards them.
"Uncle!" Xiaomei beckoned to the man, turned her head to look at Cheng Jingyi, and said, "Dean Cheng, let me introduce you, my little uncle, Mei Jikang." Uncle, this is our new dean, Ms. Catherine Cheng. ”
"Dean Cheng, it's a pleasure." Mei Jikang smiled.
Mei's uncle and nephew said goodbye to Jingyi, got in the car and left first.
Cheng Jingyi silently thought about her thoughts. The inquiring look in Medicon's eyes just now made her sensitive. After all, she has lived in Shanghai for a while. I don't know if I saw this person on some occasion.
Cheng Jingyi looked up at the sky.
In the night sky of Shanghai in winter, there is a kind of gray tide, and there are still stars, but there are few clear.
She took off her glasses and wiped the corners of her eyes......
Mei Jikang seemed to think of something, turned his head, and when he saw Cheng Jingyi's action, his heart felt like he had been hit. I couldn't help asking: "Dean Cheng is so young?" ”
