Chapter 308 Starlight(1/2)
Chapter 308 Bright Stars
At six o'clock in the evening, the sun sets in the west.
In the south of the city, there is no cold wind and drizzle like in the east, only the lazy afterglow of the sunset.
Upon learning that Su Xia had brought back more than a dozen orphans, the brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu stopped what they were doing and walked out of the pharmacy one after another.
On the old street outside the store, the children got out of the car one after another and looked at everything here with curious and nervous eyes.
Two children were too tired and fell asleep in the warm car. They were woken up by their companions and got off the car.
"Are these the children?" Su Jianshe already knew about the tragedy that happened in the east of the city.
"It's them." Su Xia replied.
"This accident has a lot to do with me."
Su Jianshe blamed himself. Wang Hong was his subordinate, but he knew nothing about what happened.
If Su Xia hadn't discovered it, he would still have been kept in the dark.
"How did Wang Hong sit in that position?" Su Xia asked him.
"I owed a favor before, and then in order to repay the favor, I got this person..."
There was nothing to hide. Su Jianshe answered truthfully. Wang Hong was indeed connected through connections and had very little real talent or learning.
This city is made up of a huge network of relationships. Even people like Su Jianshe are not exempt from vulgarity. They are just a small node on the network.
Even he himself relied on connections before and owed a lot of favors to slowly get to where he is today.
"I will advance the cost of these children's growth." Su Jianshe decided to assume the due responsibility. "I will let them complete the construction progress of the school as soon as possible."
"good."
"in addition……"
Su Jianshe paused, as if he had thought of something, and glanced in the direction of the distant school, and said, "I may be able to take over the two pieces of land around the school."
"Is this true?" Su Xia looked at him.
"Well, the owners of those two pieces of land have some connections with me, so I can get them at a low price."
"Then there is Mr. Laosu."
"It should."
If we can acquire two surrounding pieces of land, the scale of the school can be further expanded, which will have many benefits for future development.
Because of today's incident, Su Construction has given the highest priority to school construction, and all the city's construction resources have been given priority to this area.
After the expansion, the classrooms, staff dormitories, student dormitories, canteens, playgrounds, gymnasiums and other functional buildings within the school can all be satisfied.
In the past, there was not enough land, so we only planned to build classrooms and dormitories.
When classes officially start in the future, Su Xia will probably be given the title of "principal".
Later, he went to the restaurant's boss Zhao and discussed the issue of contracting the canteen in the future.
Boss Zhao's eyes were shining, his face was rosy, and he laughed and said: "No problem, leave the cafeteria to me, no matter how many students there are, there will be no problem!"
"Well, funds are not a problem. Many children are malnourished. I hope Boss Zhao can plan their daily meals reasonably."
"rest assured!"
Boss Zhao patted his chest and promised: "Master Su, don't worry, I will go find a specialized child nutritionist for advice tomorrow and make sure these children eat well!"
"good."
Over the years, Boss Zhao has been supplying the pharmacy’s food. The quality and taste of the food were good, so Su Xia gave him priority.
It's always safer to do things with acquaintances than with strangers.
"Boss Zhao, are there enough rooms upstairs in the hotel?" Su Xia asked.
"this……"
Boss Zhao looked at the dozen or so thin children and felt a little worried.
The rooms upstairs in the restaurant, excluding those of himself and his staff, and those of the three brothers Su and Xia, there were only two rooms left.
After he told the truth, Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, just transform it into a temporary dormitory. These children only need a shelter from wind and rain now, and it doesn't need to be too good."
Later, Su Xia found Su Jianshe and asked him for six staff beds with bunk beds.
There were many such beds in the warehouse at Su Jianshe's construction site. He immediately agreed and asked his men to drive to the warehouse to transport the beds.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, all the things Su Xia needed temporarily arrived.
Everyone worked together to clean up two rooms, and placed three bunk beds in each room to accommodate six children for temporary residence.
The bed is warm and comfortable, the room is elegantly decorated, and there is a 24-hour heating supply. The children have never enjoyed this kind of treatment before.
It was said to be a temporary room, but it was much better than the tin house they had in the slums.
There are many low iron houses in the slums, with dirty and rusty exteriors and ordinary plastic sheets for the windows.
In winter, the cold wind blows in, and in summer, it is exposed to direct sunlight. The temperature in the room can exceed 40 to 50 degrees. It is difficult to imagine how ordinary people can live in it.
"Woooo..."
There was a little girl wiping her tears, but the tears still couldn't stop falling, splashing white water on the clean ground.
Lan Bafu touched her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, mom... I think they... can they live in such a good house in heaven?"
"Yes, definitely."
Lan Bafu nodded seriously.
He can actually be considered a materialist, but at times like this, he is willing to say things that go against his will.
After cleaning up everything, everyone returned to the first floor to start the day's dinner.
Boss Zhao cooked this dinner very carefully.
Not eating enough for a long time, or suddenly eating too much or too much, can cause gastrointestinal problems.
Boss Zhao has made a lot of improvements to the meals for these children, making them as little oily and salty as possible, delicate enough and filling for them.
During the meal, Su Jianshe brought up the matter of Sijidao: "That Wang Yongqiang seems to be targeting Master Su."
"Well, he and I have always been hostile."
"Master Su, do you want me to delay his project?"
"There is no need for this." Su Xia shook her head, "You still have to earn the money you should earn. If Wang Yongqiang is willing to send money to your door, Mr. Su will just accept it."
"Master Su is courageous!"
Su Jianshe took a sip of tea and praised him sincerely.
Now everyone knows that Wang Yongqiang built the school just to compete with Su Xia.
But Su Xia was not afraid at all. Even if the other party had a fifth-level pharmacist, she never showed any intention to back down. She would not even try to stumble in secret. Everything was done openly.
Su Jianshe asked himself: if it were him, he might try his best to delay Wang Yongqiang's project.
Su Xia's spirit and self-confidence are beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
At the same time, Su Jianshe also had the same doubts as Chai An - after having been in contact with Su Xia for a long time, he always felt that it was unlikely that someone like Su Xia would betray his teacher.
There should be a hidden secret in this, and it is not as simple as advertised.
Su Jianshe would not ask for trouble and did not take the initiative to ask.
After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
The street lights on both sides of the street have long been on, and the employees of the engineering team have gone home. Without the deafening sound of construction, only scaffolding, wooden springboards and other construction materials are left. This old street is much quieter.
"Children, go wash up and go to bed early."
All day today, fatigue and pain have been haunting these children, like inner demons that cannot be shaken off.
Let them have a good sleep, which may relieve them a lot.
Su Xia returned to the pharmacy to sort out the draft textbooks she had written during this period.
During this period, he sent nanorobots to Lingdian Tavern and received good news - Fan Lu and others had not left yet.
In the Zero Point Tavern, Yi Yi told Su Xia's nanorobot everything: "Fan Lu's private actions led to a battle between him and Mercer. This battle almost caused the relationship between the pub and the machine tribe to get out of control. Now it is time to negotiate.
At the critical moment, the headquarters was very dissatisfied with him and asked him to stop all personal actions."
[With Fan Lu’s character, will he listen to what the headquarters says?]
Su Xia controlled the nanorobot to form a line like this.
Fan Lu is an arrogant and arrogant person, and one of the rare fifth-level creatures on this planet. The contract he signed with the tavern is definitely different from the contract of ordinary members.
Even the tavern can't restrict him too much.
"He really won't listen, he just cooperates on the surface." Yi Yi explained: "He has collected information all day today, compiled the information about your appearance in the southern city, and is applying for action from the headquarters."
