All the way to gallop.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jie and his entourage arrived in Handong City by high-speed rail and minibus.

Handong City, located in the vast mountains, is a well-known poor county-level city with poor natural resources.

As the saying goes, the poorer you are, the poorer you are, and the poorer you are.

Often, the more economically backward the place, the more likely it is for people to overgive birth.

Because the older generation always thinks that raising children prevents old age.

Even the idea of preference for sons is still deeply ingrained, and it is not uncommon to abandon baby girls.

This is the case in the city of Handong.

The impoverished city has a population of nearly 10 million, and the barren land cannot support so many people, so it has given birth to an army of migrant workers.

Many young people go to the big cities to work, and they only come back during the Spring Festival all year round.

Therefore, whether it is urban or rural areas, there are many left-behind elderly people and children.

If the elderly in the family dies, there will be no one to take care of the children, and they will not be able to afford to take them to the big city to study.

And so.

These children are either placed in foster care with relatives and friends, or they are forced to attend boarding schools.

The worst thing is that there is no one to care about the children, there is no elderly to take care of them, and there is no news of their biological parents going out to work.

These children, as well as abandoned babies, can only be sent to child welfare homes (commonly known as orphanages) to be raised at the government's expense.

Earlier.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao invested 2 billion yuan to establish the Tianyuan Boai Charity Foundation.

The foundation focuses on supporting orphans and left-behind children in rural areas, and providing relief to sick children.

Every municipal unit in the country has set up a children's welfare home, which is responsible for providing free services for orphans and disabled children.

There are many services, including adoption, adoption, education, nursing, rehabilitation, medical treatment, and so on.

More services means a lot of overhead.

The main sources of funding for children's welfare homes are government grants and social donations.

Economically prosperous and developed regions naturally have a lot of donations and donations.

It's like raising Lin Yuan, where Yuan Zihan is currently located, Tianyuan City Children's Welfare Institute.

Tianyuan City is already extremely prosperous, and the government allocates tens of millions of yuan every year.

Coupled with the donations of Tianyuan's local caring people and entrepreneurs, there is no shortage of funds, and the treatment enjoyed by the children is also good.

However, Handong City, which is already poor, has little funding and very little donation, but there are many orphans adopted, and the treatment can be imagined.

It would be good to be able to maintain basic food and clothing, and it is impossible to be treated as well as in children's welfare institutions in developed cities.

A long time ago.

Soon after the establishment of the foundation, the group arranged for people to come to visit.

At that time, a lot of problems were discovered.

Due to the lack of funds, baby cots, children's beds, wardrobes, desks, televisions, washing machines, etc. are extremely old.

There is no air conditioning in the winter and only ceiling fans in the summer.

As for the children's clothes, toys, tableware, etc., they are even more dilapidated.

In view of this situation.

At that time, Tang Xiao ordered an investigation into the situation of other poor areas and children's welfare institutions.

After all the information is summarized, it is found that the treatment of children in economically developed areas is too different.

Like Yuan Zihan, they not only eat well three meals a day, but also have fresh fruits and clean drinking water.

The bedrooms are air-conditioned, each has a separate wardrobe, and clothes are changed at least once a year.

As for what regular medical check-ups, toys and stationery, teaching facilities......

It's simply incomparable!

To this end, Tang Xiao arranged for the foundation to focus on improving the treatment of children's welfare institutions in poor areas.

Unified bidding, replacement of new furniture and appliances, procurement of clothes and stationery toys suitable for all ages......

Renovate or build new school buildings, dormitories, playgrounds, canteens, etc.

Nearly one billion yuan was spent at one time, which is not insignificant, and the effect is also very good.

However......

After the unified bidding, the love project, material procurement and infrastructure project of special inspectors will be sent to supervise the project, of course, there is no problem.

After all, what to buy and how to build it are all supervised by the group.

But the 'nutritious three meals' part of the project is off track, after all, it is impossible to send people to watch what children eat every day.

On the way here, Wu Jie repeatedly read the report letter.

The report letter claimed.

With the help of the foundation, the children are well dressed and well housed.

But there has been no significant improvement in the aspect of 'eating'.

For the children's welfare institutions funded by the foundation, there is an in-depth investigation of local prices and the formulation of catering subsidy standards.

In a poor area like Handong City, prices are not cheap.

Therefore, the Love Project stipulates that each child will receive a daily meal subsidy of 30 yuan.

Among them, an additional 20 yuan will be added to the subsidy of milk powder cod liver oil for infants, and an additional 20 yuan will be added to the medical subsidy for disabled and sick children.

With the government's original funding, there can be bread, eggs and milk for breakfast every day, and one meat, one vegetable and one fruit for lunch and dinner.

But the result?

According to the report, the hospital adopted more than 500 children and received a daily meal subsidy of up to 20,000 yuan.

The money funded by the foundation was not spent at all in the first place.

When the group's supervision department inspected, it found problems and insisted that the kitchen be equipped with surveillance cameras, and that the kitchen and catering hygiene problems should be remotely monitored through the network cloud, and this time it was rectified.

And how to rectify it?

Milk, eggs, milk powder, etc., are all discounted goods that have expired in bulk purchased in supermarkets.

Fruits, vegetables, meat, rice, etc., are bought from the local vegetable market to buy the cheapest and spoiled.

As for edible oil, soy sauce, white vinegar, etc., they are completely bulk, and I don't know what kind of small workshop produces them.

Anyway, there is surveillance in the kitchen, not in the backyard!

Even if it is seen by remote monitoring, it is still vegetables and meat, eggs and fruits......

As for the quality, how to distinguish the surveillance camera?

Is it difficult for anyone to look at the surveillance footage to know whether the edible oil is gutter oil or not, and whether the milk has expired?

In a word.

The report letter strongly complained that the foundation's daily subsidy of 20,000 yuan not only did not improve the children's nutrition, but also caused physical problems due to eating various expired and spoiled foods.

Wu Jie read the report letter several times.

The love donations for the children's nourishment and physical growth are so greedy that they dare to be greedy!

This kind of dog thing with no conscience is really unbearable.

Therefore, before leaving, I deliberately checked the gun and documents in my satchel.

Provoked my brother and shot him on the spot!!

Crunch.

As soon as the van stopped on the side of the road, the Handong Children's Welfare Institute arrived.

Sunset gave the fare, and Wu Jie opened the door and got out of the car, glancing at the gate of the welfare home.

Because not long ago, the Foundation allocated funds for renovation.

The incident of Yuan Zihan being lost touched Wu Jie a lot, so the gate and wall of the welfare home were specially rebuilt.

On the tall fence, there are surveillance cameras at intervals.

Although the gate is still an iron gate, cameras are also installed to monitor the vehicles and personnel entering and leaving the welfare home without dead ends.

In the teaching building of the courtyard, a data transceiver antenna for the child tracking management system is also erected.

All children have smart bracelets that send data to the antenna at certain frequencies.

It can not only prevent getting lost, emergency call, but also provide real-time feedback on physical condition, heart rate, heartbeat, body temperature, etc.

As for the welfare home, playgrounds, canteens, dormitories, etc., how well they are built, Wu Jie is not very interested.

If the group sends a special person to supervise the construction, it will definitely not be bad.

But if the children can't eat well, what's the point of these infrastructures?

"It is estimated that if you go in directly, you will definitely startle the snake!"

Sunset walked over to Wu Jie and handed him a cigarette to smoke.

"Find a place to eat first!"

Wu Jie took a sharp puff of his cigarette, turned around and left.

Sunset and two other colleagues hurry to keep up.

Whether a place is rich or not, look at the architecture of the city.

Cracked and broken roads, cars coming and going, kicking up dust.

On the street are red-brick buildings with a sense of déjà vu from the 90s, and there are all kinds of auto repairs, hairdressers, and small restaurants.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and I squinted slightly and looked into the distance through the dust, and I could hardly see any high-rise buildings.

There are no skyscrapers and elevator residences like those in first-tier cities.

On the contrary, the pole is covered with all kinds of psoriasis advertisements, and the top is like a spider's web, and all kinds of cables are intertwined.

There are no shared bicycles, online takeaways, etc. in big cities.

When I first arrived, I didn't know where to eat or live.

Wu Jie picked a roadside restaurant that looked relatively clean, and the owner didn't recognize it.

On the way, it is simple and easy to look at, plus a small place, and the information is relatively closed, so it is normal not to recognize Wu Jie's identity.

The boss is very attentive, and after handing over the menu, he is quite diligent in serving tea and pouring water.

Wu Jie glanced at the menu and couldn't help but frown.

Although the place is small, the price is not low!

Some home-cooked food, almost catching up with the price of Tianyuan.

After ordering a few random dishes, Wu Jie took the menu to Sunset and buried his head in swiping his phone.

Sunset is quite 'self-acquainted', chatting enthusiastically with the boss and getting to know the children's welfare home across the road.

Just across the road, close at hand.

Of course, the boss is still familiar with some situations.

What was it like before, and what happened when it was financed by big business...... The bosses are clear.

But what was going on in the yard, he didn't know.

Nowadays, the courtyard walls are high, the gate is strictly controlled, and the management is strict.

In the past, you could call three or five friends to go in and play basketball, but now you can't get in.

Sunset asked about the purchases.

The owners of small restaurants are, of course, buying meat, vegetables and condiments in the local vegetable market, and they are of course very familiar with the vendors in the vegetable market.

At the mention of this, the boss laughed.

There was no corporate funding before, and the children were poorly fed.

After receiving the grant, the food was even worse.

If you are interested, go to the vegetable market and ask.

The sellers of meat, vegetables, and fruits all competed to curry favor with the Ninth Master.

The bald fat man nicknamed Jiu Ye has a very hard relationship background and can deliver goods to the children's welfare institute opposite.

Every day, at around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, when the vegetable market is about to close, he drives a minivan to buy.

The traffickers sold the vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, etc., at a fairly cheap price.

On hot days, if you can't sell out, you will spoil and stink, and the dealers are happy to dispose of the tail goods at a low price.

But this ninth master is a ruthless man!

The bargain is quite ruthless.

During the day, he sold pork for more than ten yuan, but at night he came to collect it, but he only gave seven or eight yuan.

Plague pork, dead pork, etc., are accepted correctly, but the price is lower.

The boss's reaction is basically consistent with the report letter.

As for why nothing happened......

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that most food poisoning is caused by bacteria.

Spoiled, expired, or even partially rotten ingredients do have bacteria.

However, after the ingredients are steamed at high temperature, they will not be poisoned at all, and the germs will have been killed by the high temperature long ago.

Therefore, the same vegetables, fresh and good-looking, must be relatively expensive.

And if you sell it differently and rot locally, the price will be cheaper.

After buying it back, use a knife to cut off the rotten parts, and cook it for a while after putting it in the pot, of course, it is impossible to be poisonous.

Wu Jie remembered that the conditions at home were not good before, and when his mother went to buy potatoes, they all bought small, cracked, and sprouted potatoes.

Anyway, after peeling and processing, cut into shreds and chop into pieces, you can still make a good dish.

In fact, in order to make more money, many restaurants will save costs as much as possible in the use of ingredients.

Otherwise, where does gutter oil come from?

......

After eating and drinking, Wu Jie and his party left.

Instead of going straight to the welfare home, I first went to a merchant who sold second-hand cars and rented two local cars for some money.

The soldiers are divided into two ways.

Wu Jie and Sunset drove to the vegetable market, while the other two colleagues went to visit the neighborhood of the children's welfare home.

Knowing that the yard is heavily secured, ordinary people can't enter it at all.

If you show your identity to check, you will definitely be shocked.

Therefore, aerial photography drones were specially brought, which can not only shoot from the air, but also drop surveillance equipment.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

A minivan slowly drove into the vegetable market, and the ninth master appeared......
