Chapter 923: Chapter 553: Familiar Faces/Unexpected Investment (Part 4)
Luo Ye had a sudden flash of inspiration. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Li Xue Man was also a well-known figure. At the age of 24, she founded Xueman Vocational School, which only enrolled people with disabilities and offered courses in massage, design, sewing, and the like, charging only for textbooks and waiving all tuition fees.
However, a year after the school opened, the funding chain broke, forcing Li Xue Man to seek assistance from society. At first, everyone thought she was a fraud.
In desperation, she took students from the massage class to the Night Market for massages, charging only a small fee. She arranged for students from the design class to intern for free at design companies and took students from the sewing class to clothing factories for free internships.
After a period, the reputation of Xueman Vocational School began to spread, and donations from society started pouring into the school. Meanwhile, Li Xue Man truly became a celebrity and a savior in the eyes of people with disabilities. However, there were always some who questioned her, believing she was exploiting people with disabilities for her own fame and fortune.
As for what she just heard Little Pumpkin say, it was nothing more than because she always glanced at Ye Xuan, she naturally understood what Little Pumpkin said.
"Sister Xue Man, do you have any plans for the future?" Luo Ye asked.
"Plans?" Li Xue Man laughed, "Ye’er, I certainly have a plan. I want to establish a vocational school for people with disabilities.
When I was a normal person, I couldn’t understand at all the hardships of people with disabilities. But when I also had a defect, I realized how tough life is for this group of people.
Like me, not lacking financially, I still live so hard. So how exhausting must it be for those people with disabilities from poor backgrounds?
Now, my parents are helping me with the paperwork. It’s estimated that in a little over a month, the certificates will all be in order. However, Grandpa and Grandma are not very supportive of this, thinking that it’s a thankless task."
Hua Rong chimed in: "How to put it, your intention is indeed good. We all know that, but there will always be some people who like to guess wildly. Grandpa and Grandma’s doubts about your actions are justified."
"I know, but I can’t not do it just because of others’ doubts, right?" Li Xue Man smiled bitterly, "Sis, you know how much suffering and hardship I endured practicing lip-reading.
In the initial stages, when I went out, people looked down on me, and you know that as well. Forget it, normal healthy people will never understand our sufferings."
Hua Rong angrily poked her: "Look at you, your stubborn temper is rearing its head again. If I didn’t understand your struggles, would I agree to help you teach the students?
I’m saying this because I care about you. Instead of living a comfortable life, you’re worrying about this, maybe even being misunderstood and resented. You’re just being ungrateful!"
Li Xue Man hugged Hua Rong ingratiatingly: "Sis, I’m wrong, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad at me, okay? You can’t back out of your position at the school."
Hua Rong, amused and exasperated, poked her: "No salary is fine, but you have to handle the meals, understand?"
Li Xue Man blinked her eyes: "You’re paying, is that okay?"
"See that? Everyone see that? The school hasn’t even started yet, and she’s already so stingy. I wonder, by the time I go to teach at the school, will I be a Rich Peasant when I enter, and a Red Peasant when I leave?"
Li Xue Man nodded seriously: "Sis, you’re right. Helping others when you have the opportunity always has its benefits."
Hua Rong: "..."
"Sister Xue Man, count me in." Luo Ye suddenly said.
"Count you in?" Li Xue Man looked at her with a bitter smile, "Luo Ye, I think you might have misunderstood. My school here won’t earn a penny, only lose money. My parents pamper me and want me to be happy, so they diligently support me."
Luo Ye nodded: "Sister Xue Man, that’s exactly why I want to contribute my share."
"No way, you’re still a student. I can’t let you do such a thing. Your uncle and aunt will blame me." Li Xue Man patted her, "Wait until you start working."
"Pff!" Little Pumpkin spurted out, bending over and pointing at Luo Ye, "My third sister is so wealthy, I doubt there are many richer than her.
My uncle and aunt earn less than her pocket money, so how would they blame her? Sister Xue Man, my third sister is a big moneybag, you won’t get her every day if you don’t hit her."
"Xueman, Little Pumpkin is telling the truth. Ye’er’s personal wealth surpasses even mine, so don’t treat her as just an ordinary student." Wen Tong said, looking at Ye Xuan, "Son-in-law, you should contribute as well?"
Ye Xuan nodded: "Of course, but there’s no need to separate mine. I’ll transfer the money to Ye’er’s account and count it with hers."
Indeed, some things have a butterfly effect. In a previous life, little uncle was likely not with Hua Rong, so Li Xue Man naturally never had the chance to meet Wen Tong. As for herself, that was even more impossible. Thinking like this, Luo Ye’s heart chilled again.
She was very afraid of this vague and unsettled feeling. Perhaps everyone is greedy. In the past, because she was a normal person, she never thought much about it. In this life, having been favored by the heavens, she always wanted to control everything. As soon as something unexpected happened, she couldn’t help but worry. It seemed she needed to adjust her mindset.
"Thank you, thank you all so much!" Li Xue Man bowed deeply to the group, "I, I don’t even know what to say."
Luo Ye giggled: "Then don’t say anything, just do a good job. That’s the best reward for us."
...
The next day, when 6.2 million suddenly appeared in her account, Li Xue Man’s heart beat so rapidly it almost jumped out of her chest. With trembling hands, she dialed the video call, and before she could speak, Wen Tong on the screen apologized: "Xueman, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the payment. The finance team is already preparing to go to the bank. Could you wait a bit longer, okay?"
"Brother-in-law, you, you haven’t transferred the money yet? Then why did the bank inform me just now that there’s an extra 6.2 million in my account?" Li Xue Man asked suspiciously.
"That must be from Ye’er and Xiao Xuan, right? Yes, Ye’er and Little Xuan have shown their worth, not embarrassing me at all." Wen Tong chuckled.
