Several days later.
The hype around the broadcaster incident slowly dissipated.
It wasn’t because the news wasn’t popular but it was mainly because it was overly strange. Moreover, the news couldn’t be distributed unrestrainedly. After all, it had to do with superstitious beliefs. The relevant news departments had to control its distribution.
Lin Fan wasn’t bothered about this incident. He didn’t want the news to continue spreading, so he didn’t come out to explain the incident.
Also, in the past few days, Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute’s teaching block’s construction had finally been completed. Today was the day of its opening ceremony.
At the entrance of Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute.
“Welcome, welcome.” Lin Fan was standing there with Director Huang, Han Lu, and the rest at the side. They were receiving the guests who were coming for the opening ceremony.
“Master Lin, congratulations!” an entrepreneur came forward to shake Lin Fan’s hand. He was all smiles and he had even brought a flower basket and a banner.
“Please enter.”
People came one after another. To Lin Fan, this would probably be a very busy day.
And this opening ceremony for Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute’s teaching block had attracted many reporters as well. To these reporters, since this matter was related to Master Lin, they had to come.
When they reached the venue, the reporters were surprised. They knew that Master Lin knew many people in Shanghai but when they reached the venue, they realized that they had underestimated Master Lin all along.
There were way too many entrepreneurs there and the reporters knew many of them, because, at some of the government commercial meets, these entrepreneurs would be there too.
Then, a sedan stopped in front of the welfare institute.
Wang Ming Yang and Wu Yun Gang alighted. Wu Yun Gang, in particular, immediately rushed to Lin Fan. He grumbled, “Master Lin, don’t you treat me as your friend anymore? Such a big incident and you didn’t even inform me in advance. If Wang Ming Yang hadn’t told me, I probably wouldn’t have known!”
Lin Fan chuckled. “Chief Wu, you were in Beijing and this isn’t a big incident at all. It’s just a simple event.”
Wu Yun Gang patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. “Master Lin, that isn’t right of you to say. You’ve helped me so many times. Even if we don’t talk about those old incidents, you’ve helped me recently as well. We’re friends. How could I not come to your event?”
Lin Fan was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only utter helplessly, “Alright, alright. It was my mistake. Ming Yang, why don’t you and Chief Wu go in first?”
“Alright.” Wang Ming Yang nodded and didn’t say more to Lin Fan. He knew that this brother of his was probably very busy that day.
The reporters kept taking photos from the side. As one of the outstanding entrepreneurs of Shanghai, Wang Ming Yang was naturally known by the reporters.
From the Internet, they knew that Master Lin and Wang Ming Yang knew each other but they couldn’t figure out the relationship between the two. Just how close were they?
Now that they had seen their expressions towards each other and their style of speech, they realized that their relationship was actually this close.
Director Huang had worked at Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute for a very long time. Her biggest wish had always been for the welfare institute to be valued by society.
But she had worked for a long time with minimal results. At times, their operational funds had been very scarce.
But ever since Master Lin had taken over, the situation had been changed greatly.
Seeing the welfare institute get better and better, she really felt joyful on the inside and she started to have great hope for the children’s future.
“Master Lin…” At that moment, He Cheng Han alighted from his car. He was all smiles as the two of them shook hands. “Congratulations, Master Lin! Nanshan Children’s Welfare Institute is becoming officially recognized.”
“I just want to give the children a good education. Come, please enter. Ming Yang and the rest are already inside,” said Lin Fan with a smile.
“Alright. I know you’re busy today.” He Cheng Han nodded. Then, he swept the area with his gaze and saw many familiar people. He went to greet them with a smile.
Lin Fan hadn’t expected so many people to come for the opening ceremony of the teaching block.
But this proved that he hadn’t wasted his time in Shanghai. With so many people here to show their support, the place was bustling with life.
At that moment, the sound of a vehicle in the distance could be heard.
When everyone saw that car plate, they were slightly startled. It looked quite familiar.
And when the person alighted, all the entrepreneurs were shocked. They hadn’t expected a super major figure to appear.
Lu Corporation’s Lu Li had actually come.
When the reporters saw him, they were shaken as well. Their cameras flashed as they quickly captured photos and videos.
When they had seen all these entrepreneurs, they had been surprised but they hadn’t been shocked. Now, however, it was different. Shanghai’s biggest entrepreneur, the head of the Lu Corporation, was here. Usually, when reporters wanted to interview Lu Li, they didn’t really have any chance at all, because his schedule was always packed daily.
Now that the opening of Master Lin’s teaching block had attracted Lu Li, it was simply inconceivable to them.
When Lin Fan saw him, he became a little curious. Why is this guy here? I’ve only interacted with him once and I haven’t really come into contact with him since.
“Chief Lu, you’re a very busy man. Why are you here?” asked Lin Fan.
When the reporters heard this, they let out expressions of disbelief. To them, anyone else would have run forward passionately to shake Lu Li’s hand.
But what was Master Lin saying now? ‘Why are you here?’ It was as if he hadn’t invited Lu Li. That was way too shocking for the reporters.
But then, something that shocked them even more happened.
Lu Li seemed not to be bothered at all. He smiled and said, “Master Lin, I heard that your welfare institute’s teaching block has finished construction. You didn’t even invite me. I definitely had to come and take a look. Am I, Lu Li, not welcome?”
“Haha,” Lin Fan started laughing. “Alright, Chief Lu. You’re very welcome! I’ve troubled a busy man like yourself to come all the way here.”
Lu Li was very curious about Lin Fan. The first time that they interacted had been an incident involving Lin Fan’s shop. At that time, they had only interacted very briefly.
Later on, due to bad luck, Lu Li had gotten kidnapped and Lin Fan had saved his life. Hence, in his heart, Lu Li was very grateful to Master Lin.
When he heard that the construction of the welfare institute’s teaching block had been completed and that there would be an opening ceremony, he had pushed all his other work aside just to come and join in the ceremony.
Director Huang and the rest were all standing there. Initially, they had been very excited because of the opening of the teaching block but now that there were more and more people of high-status coming in, they started to become nervous.
Almost everyone had reached.
Inside the welfare institute.
The children were all sat on stools. They were all very excited because they knew that they would be able to start studying and they would even have teachers.
Because the teaching block was going to be opened, Lin Fan had gotten the teachers that he had hired to come to the welfare institute to interact with the children and grow closer to them.
That would increase their familiarity and comfort with each other.
