Chapter 168: Keeping the Orphanage
Since Zhang Yuxuan went to that orphanage, he would take time to go to the orphanage every day after work, and Li Xue was always waiting for him in the piano room, no matter how late he came, she would always wait for her there, unless she received a call from the other party saying that she couldn't come. Occasionally, when I go late, I can't practice the piano because it will affect the children's rest. So Zhang Yuxuan specially rented a house opposite the orphanage and bought a brand new piano. As long as he came back late, he would take her there.
At first, he thought that Li Xue would be afraid to go to his house alone to practice with him, but instead of being afraid, the other party was excited to hear that there was a new piano to practice to his heart's content, and he only felt that this girl was a little too simple.
Of course, he won't let her practice for too long, usually stop at twelve o'clock, and if he comes back late, he will add half an hour, and then he won't agree even if the other party begs him to continue playing.
There weren't a lot of things in the company today, and he felt that he could let it go first, so he didn't go to the company in the morning, but went directly to the orphanage. Since Li Xue played the piano in her house, she has neglected the piano in the orphanage, and she was asked to take her there as soon as she came.
The orphanage is surprisingly quiet today, usually at this time the children should be playing in the compound, and they can hear the sound from afar, but now they have reached the door and still can't hear a sound, which is too strange.
Zhang Yuxuan knocked on the door, but there was no response, he was a little puzzled and knocked on the door a few more times, only then did he hear a few dog barks, and then there was the sound of human footsteps, and it was Aunt Lilian who opened the door.
"Morning, Aunt Lilian." Zhang Yuxuan said hello politely, and Lilian also nodded and said goodbye, and then beckoned herself in. Zhang Yuxuan noticed that there was something wrong with the expression on the other party's face, as if something had happened. There were no children in the compound, no studio, and Li Xue was not in the piano room, and the entire orphanage seemed to be empty.
"What about the children and Li Xue?" Lilian made him a cup of tea, and was about to turn around and leave, but Zhang Yuxuan stopped her
"Upstairs." After Lilian said this, she walked outside without looking back, Zhang Yuxuan looked at the other party's back in surprise and wondered what was going on? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he took a sip of tea and went upstairs.
Upstairs are the children's sleeping place, upstairs he saw the children's figures, the children in the corridor are holding a basin with clothes piled up, the doors of the room are open, he turned his head into one of the rooms, and saw that the children are finishing the clothes, and then the sorted clothes are put in a big bag, even the quilt sheets are folded.
"Kids, why are you putting all this away?" Zhang Yuxuan walked in, bent down and asked puzzled, and a little girl stopped what she was doing and replied to him, "Because Aunt Lilian said that we want to move out to her house today, and we won't be allowed to live here." ”
"Why don't you let it go?"
This time, the little girl just shook her head, and a pair of big eyes looked at her with a pair of bright eyes, Chu Chu was moving, he touched the latter's little head and asked, "Then do you know where Sister Li is?" ”
"Sister Li is in the last room." The little girl walked to the door and pointed to the last room and said, Zhang Yuxuan nodded, touched his pocket and some candy that he bought yesterday and didn't finish it, he took it out and gave it to the little girl, and then walked to the last room.
Only the last room of all the rooms was closed, and when he got closer, he heard the child's cry, he gently pushed open the door and saw Li Xue sorting out the clothes for a little girl, and the little girl was sitting on the bed crying, her right leg was seriously out of proportion with her left leg, and the muscles of her right leg were atrophied so badly that she couldn't walk, even stand.
"Li Xue." He knocked lightly and called softly, and the latter stopped when he heard the sound, and said, "You are here." ”
"Well, I just heard from the children that they can't live here? What is the meaning? Zhang Yuxuan squatted down, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and put them on the bed, and then touched the little girl's head to comfort and signal not to cry.
"I told you that the owner of a company decided to build an amusement park here and asked us to leave. Just this evening they came again, saying that if they didn't move out before noon, they would use extraordinary means. ”
Li Xue's voice was very soft, and her face was gloomy. Zhang Yuxuan pressed his eyebrows and asked again
"Who is it? Do you know the name of that company? ”
"Seems to be called Art."
"Aster? Heh" Zhang Yuxuan pouted disdainfully when he heard the name of this company, this company is just a little famous in London, and it is not a big enterprise with a head and a face, and the president of the company recently came to talk to Zhang Yuxuan, saying that he wanted to cooperate in the development of an amusement park project, but because the location he wanted to build was to demolish an old house in a residential area, he refused without considering the feelings of the residents. Unexpectedly, he is now taking advantage of the orphanage again, and I don't know who will support him this time.
"Brother Yuxuan, I may not have a chance to let you teach me to play the piano in the future." Li Xue's voice was a little choked, and it could be heard that she didn't want to leave here, she had lived here since a long time ago, it was like home to her, and now she could continue to play the piano, but there was nothing left when she left.
"It's okay, this orphanage won't be demolished, you trust me." Zhang Yuxuan gently put his hand on Li Xue's shoulder, and his gentle voice revealed a sense of firmness and confidence. Although his company is still in its infancy, it is developing at a rapid pace and has a very promising future, and he is still sure that he can handle a small business like Yaster.
"Really?" Li Xue asked in disbelief, she still doesn't know Zhang Yuxuan's identity, she only knows that he just came here, he is an entrepreneur, and the company is still starting, but Asst is a relatively old enterprise, can a small business that has just started compete with it? Or does he have other ways and means?
"When did I lie to you and tell the kids to stop tidying up, they can stay here until they leave later." Zhang Yuxuan stood up and said in a loud voice, and then he took out his mobile phone and walked out of the room to make a call to his friend.
And Aunt Lilian saw that Li Xue hadn't come down for a long time, thinking that she hadn't cleaned it up yet, but when she went upstairs to take a look, she found that the children had put their clothes and quilts back. Li Xue just smiled and said, Brother Yuxuan said that he had a way.
"Oh, God, forget it, in case he can't be miserable but we are in trouble, let's leave quickly, please listen to me." Lilian gestured a cross on her chest, and then walked into a room to clean up for the children, Li Xue heard that the other party was going to tidy up her clothes again, and persuaded her: "Aunt Lilian, you really want to leave like this, the dean told you when she was there, no matter what, you must keep this orphanage, if this orphanage is gone, what will the children do?" Your house can't fit so many people together, and you're going to use this money to treat Anne's leg, how is that enough? ”
"Oh God, what should I do, they're coming soon, don't you know the style of this company? If we don't agree, what if they do it, what are civilians like us going to fight with the people of the company? Lillian sat down on the ground in frustration and sobbed under her breath.
Li Xue was silent for a long time, and then said, "Since Brother Yuxuan said that he has a way, then he can do it, I believe him, Aunt Lilian, please believe him once." ”
Li Xue walked in, squatted in front of Lilian, groped her hand for the other's palm, and then clenched it tightly, her tone full of conviction.
In the corridor, Zhang Yuxuan stood outside the door, silent for a long time, he heard all the conversation between the two, he originally wanted to tell the two that he could save this orphanage. But now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was not enough, so he dialed his friend again.
"Yu Xuan, what's the matter, the 10 million you want will be sent to you later. Now wait for now. The person on the phone opened his mouth first, Zhang Yuxuan paused, his eyes flashed with determination, and then he said clearly: "No, Mike, I want 50 million."
As expected, the people came over close to noon, and when the leader saw that Lilian Li Xue and the others were still sitting in the hall eating, their faces suddenly became fierce, and they walked towards them with a group of strong men behind them, "Don't you understand? Or are you not afraid of us? I still haven't moved away. ”
Lilian and Li Xue hugged the children on both sides, looking afraid to speak.
"Looks like we need a helping hand." The leader sneered and made a gesture, and the big man behind him was about to act, and Zhang Yuxuan stood up here, "Wait." ”
"Yo, you're still looking for someone, no wonder you dare to sit here so arrogantly, then who are you, don't you know that we are a Yast enterprise?"
The leader looked at Zhang Yuxuan with disdain, walked up to the latter and looked at it, and made sure that the other party was not a big man in a London company.
"I know." Zhang Yuxuan pursed his lips, his face was calm and calm, and then the corners of his mouth slowly smiled and said, "I also know that you plan to buy this orphanage to build an amusement park, and I also know that your attitude and methods are very strong. ”
After listening to Zhang Yuxuan's words, the leader looked more and more proud, but Zhang Yuxuan changed his mouth again when he was proud, "It's just that this orphanage, I, Zhang Yuxuan, want it today."
"Heh, what kind of thing are you, you dare to rob things from us Aster, do you know how much money we paid, can you afford it? I'm afraid I don't dare to do half of it. ”
The leader ridiculed Zhang Yuxuan, he mixed up in London, he still knows the name of the people in the general big business, but he has never heard the name of the other party, and he is still a Chinese, he knows only one powerful Chinese American in the territory of London, but the name is not Zhang Yuxuan, and the big man behind him also laughed at his instigation.
Lilian looked at Zhang Yuxuan worriedly, she always felt that Zhang Yuxuan couldn't fight Arthur, but the expression on the latter's face didn't change for half a minute, only heard him put his hands in his pockets and said something lightly
"yes, I don't want to pay half the price or the same."
"Look, this straw bale is just coming out to pretend." The people laughed even more presumptuously, but Zhang Yuxuan's next words made them dumbfounded.
"If you want to pay at least three times or more than the price." Like a stone thrown into a pool, the scene stirs up undulating ripples. The people of Astor fell silent in an instant, as deathly as death.
