Chapter 65: The Light of Love, the Phoenix of Fire
The lights in the banquet hall dimmed at first, and then a chasing light lit up and fell on the doorway.
In the sound of music, Fang Yihua wore a pure white dress, held a child in one hand, walked into the hall with a halo, and glanced at Yu Qing, who was sitting in front of the piano in a corner of the banquet hall, and smiled, and the tension in his heart disappeared invisibly.
The children who were dressed up as all kinds of small animals just now went out for a spin and came back, all changed into the same white shirts and black pants, and in pairs, they followed behind Fang Yihua hand in hand and walked to the front of the stage.
The stage has long been replaced with easels of different heights, but instead of the usual canvases, a variety of semi-finished fabrics are sandwiched.
There are T-shirts of the same style as them, as well as canvas bags of different sizes, and on the largest easel, there is a long skirt that is exactly the same as the fire phoenix skirt that Fang Yihua wore before.
Parents watched the children pick up the paintbrush one by one, and began to adjust the paint in a similar way, without hesitation when they put down the brush, more neat than the adults themselves, they were a little nervous, and couldn't help but whisper and discuss with the people around them.
"Is it possible to draw like this? It can't be scribbling, right? "It's to save face and worry that the children won't be able to draw well.
"As long as they are willing to paint and dare to come out to paint, they have made great progress!" This is contentment and happiness, not seeking a blockbuster but seeking peace and quiet.
"Huh! I can see that the shortest boy is drawing dolphins! β
"Dolphins? It's a big fish, right? β
"It's dolphins, I've seen dolphin shows at aquariums, and that's pretty much what I photographed!"
"Is that little girl drawing butterflies? It's a bit like that! β
"Yes, yes, how long have they been learning, it's amazing to be able to draw like this!"
"Thanks to Teacher Xiaofang and Dean Qi, otherwise my chick wouldn't even dare to go out of the door, and now she dares to perform and paint on stage, and she still paints like a look, it's really good!"
Qi Siyue specially left enough space between the stage and the audience, so that the children on the stage could not hear what the people below were saying, for fear of affecting their emotions, and now it seems that they are performing better than the best situation they imagined!
The camera recorded the appearance of each child on the stage as they painted, and projected it onto the big screen behind them, so that parents could clearly see Fang Yihua and them as they painted.
She didn't force each child to draw anything, but asked them to choose a suitable canvas and then draw their favorite animal from the animal show they just saw, and it didn't need to be completely realistic, they could just paint according to their own understanding and imagination.
As a result, the children completely let themselves go.
Zheng Fang felt that Dumbo's big ears were not as good-looking as Sun Xiaodie's butterfly wings, and he had a pair of huge butterfly wings on the back of the Dumbo he painted.
An Ran is painting a tree, from the trunk to the leaves, delicately depicting every line, even every leaf, every vein, and the little face is tightκΉ Ignoring everything around him, as if he is completely immersed in the world of his pen, he doesn't know the amazement that every time the camera projects him on the big screen.
Not to mention Sun Xiaodie and the other older children, everyone's drawings can cause the audience to cheer, so that they can't help but take out their cameras and take pictures of the big screen one by one, for fear of missing the best picture.
In Fang Yihua's brush, from the scorching flames to the gorgeous wings, the brush is like flowing water, wandering on the skirt, the sparks blooming on the skirt, the feathers coiled around the waist, the wings spreading behind the back, and the crown raised on the shoulders......
"It's really a teacher, even if this painting is put out for exhibition, someone must buy it, but it's a pity that it's painted on the skirt......"
"Teacher Xiaofang himself is a famous young painter in Hong Kong, and he has also held an art exhibition, so he is lonely and unheard!"
"Didn't she say she had autism too? Can you still be a painter and hold an art exhibition? That's amazing! β
"That's why everyone is trying to find a way to send the child here, you see, not only Teacher Xiaofang, but also Teacher Mu and Teacher Yu, they all used to have autism, and now they can be teachers, and they don't have to worry about providing for the elderly, even if they don't have relatives to take care of them, they can also support themselves."
"I heard that they are all orphans, it's really not easy......
Fang's mother and husband sat in the front row and could see the people on the stage very clearly. Both of them are from medical families, so they can naturally see Fang Yihua's performance better than others, she was also a little nervous before, and even took the wrong brush at the beginning, but as she gradually devoted herself to painting, she completely forgot about these people in the audience and immersed herself in the world of her own brush.
When my son fell in love with such a girl, I really don't know if it's good or bad.
Although they are not the kind of old-fashioned ones who have to have sons to get married and have children to inherit the family business, a child is the glue for the family and the hope for the future. After all, when two people get along, they will only see the good side when they are in love, but after marriage, they have to accept all of each other.
His son himself knows that he has a lot of sweethearts and hard hearts, and he has a set of coaxing people, but if he agrees to everything when he chases people now, he will be bored for a long time in the future, and when he wants children but can't, what will he do to her?
This year is no younger than them, no one dares to promise a lifetime, because there are too many temptations and too many changes, and people are too easy to lose themselves in the rapidly expanding material life and pursuits.
And she can see that this teacher Xiao Fang is definitely not the kind of person who can fool around at will, perhaps because of her illness, which makes her seemingly weak appearance more tenacious and persistent, and because of this, she can grow from an abandoned autistic baby to a talented girl who can write and draw.
What will happen to her simplicity and persistence if she encounters her son's betrayal and coldness?
Fang's mother kept staring at Fang Yihua, and sighed vigorously, which made Fang's father a little dissatisfied.
"You haven't seen all the people, what are you sighing for!"
"Alas, why do I think that our son is a little unworthy of Teacher Xiaofang?" Fang's mother poked at her old man, "Look, Teacher Fang is beautiful and talented, the level of this painting is enough to sell a few paintings a year, but what about our bastard?" Don't do a good job, chase people to other people's rehabilitation centers...... If I were Dean Qi, I would have kicked him out with a big broom. β
Fang's father snorted, "Don't let your son hear this, he has to wonder if you are his own mother!" β
Mother Fang glanced at him and snorted, "If I don't just tell you, if you don't say it, how will he know!" You'll have to take a picture of the dress she painted. β
"Well, how do I like this kid more and more? It's a pity that our family wanted a stinky boy at the beginning, it would be nice if we could have another daughter! A daughter like Teacher Xiaofang is gentle and beautiful, how caring! It's definitely better than that bastard who became my boy! β
Fang's mother was worried about the skirt that Fang Yihua was drawing, but she didn't know that several ladies on the field were eyeing this skirt.
Zheng Yinghua specially asked Assistant Gao to invite Qi Siyue over for this reason.
"Can you help me ask Mr. Xiaofang, whether the copyright of this skirt is sold? Our Nova Group also has a clothing brand, and its performance has not been very good in the past two years, and we are thinking about finding a breakthrough! β
"Okay, I'll ask Teacher Xiaofang after dinner." Of course, Qi Siyue is willing to help her and Fang Yihua build this bridge, just as Lin Xiangyu helped Mu Ju contact the animation and game company to make a prototype, all of which are trying to find a direction for them to give full play to their strengths.
They can stand taller and live better, which is a psychological comfort and motivation for more families of autistic people.
With them as role models, they are more convinced that their persistence is correct, and their children, as long as they persevere, will be able to find suitable jobs in the future, just like these teachers, instead of being abandoned or forgotten by this society.
After all, they can't accompany their children for a lifetime, and they have to rely on themselves to walk the road ahead.
While they were painting, Fang Zhou took the microphone from Qi Siyue and as the host, began to introduce the individuals and companies that donated to the Enron Rehabilitation Center, and launched the donated items for the first round of charity sales.
The first charity sale at the opening was a set of diamond jewellery donated by Cheng Yinghua. When she handed it to Qi Siyue at that time, Qi Siyue was reluctant to accept it, because it was obviously a wedding anniversary gift from her past marriage, and it was also engraved with the initials Z&Y of her and Yu Shulin's names, but Zheng Yinghua unceremoniously despised it.
"Do you think this thing is still memorable? I don't want to keep his things, and for me and Qianqian, it's not a commemoration, but a hurt. If you don't want it, I'll give it somewhere else. β
Qi Siyue can only reluctantly accept it, the diamond is eternal, because it has become so pure and brilliant after tens of millions of years of time carving, but people's hearts are changeable, with the change of time, money, and status, there will be unimaginable changes every minute.
Ark is also introducing the value of this set of jewelry, "you can see that this set of diamond jewelry from the hands of Italian masters, divided into necklaces, earrings, tiara and bracelet five, the maintenance tends to be perfect, but also one of Mr. Zheng's treasures, today I am willing to donate out of the charity sale, the proceeds will be donated to the autistic children care organization, for the treatment and rehabilitation of autistic children with family difficulties, here, on behalf of all the children, I sincerely thank Mr. Zheng for his generous donation! Thank you! β
Even though everyone present knew that Zheng Yinghua and Qi Siyue had a good relationship, most of them came to see her face, but they didn't expect her to be such a big move.
There are people who are familiar with Zheng Yinghua, and when they saw this set of jewelry, they recognized that she had worn it before the divorce, but later fell out with Yu Shulin, and they never saw this set of jewelry called the light of love again.
"I'll give 10 million!"
"Fifteen million!"
"Sixteen million!"
β¦β¦
The speed of bidding is very fast, and the people who can keep up with Zheng Yinghua are not ordinary people, so they can naturally see that the value of this set of jewelry is much higher than the starting price of 10 million, and they can also take this opportunity to give Zheng Yinghua a good start, so that her face will shine, so she will naturally actively increase the price and grab the auction, and immediately heat up the atmosphere.
At this point, Qi Siyue breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to Zheng Yinghua.
With her off to a good start, the scene is lively, and the ordinary auctions and children's paintings in the back will not be too inferior, basically able to raise the center's operating expenses for the next year, without her racking her brains to think of other ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure.
Naturally, it is indispensable to reciprocate the favor.
"Mr. Zheng, in order to find a suitable place for the center, we once went to Qingxi Village to see it, and rented a place there, I think it is very suitable for a nursing home or a nursing home, I wonder if you are interested in taking some time to take a look?"
"Oh? Why did you suddenly become interested in elderly care? Zheng Yinghua was a little surprised, but he never refused the opportunity to make money.
Qi Siyue smiled, looked at the parents sitting in front of her, and sighed lightly: "The scenery of that place is very good, and the air is good, but the traffic is not very convenient at present, and it is fifty or sixty kilometers away from the city center, and I suddenly remembered it." Even if these children grow up and can live independently, they may not be able to take care of their parents, and now more and more elderly people also need a perfect environment for recuperation. So I think it's better to be a homestay hotel than a health apartment. β
"That's a good idea," Zheng Yinghua nodded, and said, "Go back, you submit a plan to Assistant Gao, let him do a market research, just let them do these things." β
"Okay, thank you very much!" Qi Siyue saw that she was willing to lend a high assistant, which was basically equivalent to agreeing to participate, and chatted with her about the future study, education and even future employment prospects of these autistic children.
Zheng Yinghua did not bid for the jewelry he donated, but generously congratulated the buyer and promised the other party to leave a place for the other party after the construction of the new star entertainment city.
In addition, she did not participate in the bidding of other donations, but was busy entertaining those invited guests, after all, they were willing to come, willing to participate in donations and auctions, all for her sake of face.
It wasn't until the end, when Fang Yihua and the children completed all the paintings, that she did not hesitate to shout the first offer to Fang Yihua's phoenix dress.
"A million!"
Fang's mother covered her heart and grabbed Fang's father, who was about to shout, "Don't shoot!" A skirt...... Million...... The person your son has a crush on is really unusual......"
