No matter how young a child was, they could assess looks.
The two little girls were satisfied with each other’s looks and a friendship was silently formed.
It was undoubtedly a kind of liberation to Qiao Nan that the three children adapted to school life. She no longer needed to revolve her time around the children every day. Qiao Nan had more time on her hands and she naturally became free as if she had nothing much to do.
Before the Zhai family could be worried about Qiao Nan not adapting to this situation and thinking that such a life was boring, Qiao Nan acted before them. “Brother Zhai, help me take a look. Is my plan alright?” Qiao Nan had collected a lot of information and consulted the lawyer before coming up with a proper plan.
After all, she had the experience of doing business with Tian Dong in her dream. She could still draft an almost perfect proposal. At the very most, she would just find a professional to see if there was any amendment she should make after the proposal was done. However, Qiao Nan naturally did the initial plan. “Brother Zhai, based on my current capacity, should I find someone to help me manage this?”
“This is alright.” Zhai Sheng nodded. “If there’s a need, I’ll help you find someone?” Back when Chief Zhu was unable to manage himself, hadn’t he found Wang Yang for help?
Wang Yang studied politics. However, he was still capable of investing. Not only did Wang Yang manage the investments that Chief Zhu handed over to him well, but he also made a fortune and helped Chief Zhu earn quite a bit of money.
Of course, following the closure of the inheritance lawsuit, everything in the Zhu family now became Nan Nan’s and had nothing to do with Wang Yang. It was precisely because of this that Wang Yang was so angry that he vomited blood. All these years, he had helped Chief Zhu manage everything in the Zhu family. He initially wanted to inherit more money in the future. He didn’t expect all his hard work to benefit others in the end.
“Have you really decided to do this? You have to know that once you start investing, it’s a bit difficult to withdraw it halfway. Also, such an investment is definitely not small.” Zhai Sheng had an impression that Qiao Nan wanted to invest in old and lonely elders. He also knew why Qiao Nan had such thoughts now.
However, good deeds couldn’t be done with just words. The most important things were the money and investment period.
“Yes.” Qiao Nan smiled. “You don’t have to be worried. I don’t have any psychological burdens. To put it bluntly, I didn’t earn this sum of money. I got it for nothing. Even if I really invest in caring for the old and lonely elders, I don’t have any loss. Furthermore, I don’t think the speed of ruin would be fast. Godfather left behind quite a lot of money. No matter what it’s for, I want to do what I set out to do. Otherwise, what shall we do if I set a bad example for the three children?”
Perhaps it was really because she wasn’t spending her own money that she didn’t feel heartache.
Qiao Nan only hoped that elders like Zhu Chengqi could enjoy their old age more comfortably. Furthermore, Qiao Nan’s first phase of the plan wasn’t targeted at all old and lonely elders. There were still some criteria to be met.
For example, an elder became old and lonely as their child joined the army and had sacrificed himself for various reasons. This batch of people was what Qiao Nan wanted to take care of first. Qiao Nan knew that although world peace seemed to be achieved now, regardless of internal or external factors at play, there were always such problems when it came to the safety of the country and its people. There were numerous unsung heroes who had made sacrifices.
There were a lot of such big cases in the country, even without mentioning those people stationed at the borders dealing with terrorism or drug lords.
Aside from listing the elders who had no one to take care of them as their children were soldiers who had sacrificed for the country and people as the first batch of target audience, she also included people like the elders who had to send off their own children as they were police officers who sacrificed themselves heroically when fighting against criminals.
As the people’s heroes, the blood of these people couldn’t be shed in vain. The elders they left behind in the family shouldn’t be left alone and lonely such that they couldn’t enjoy their old age.
Don’t think that Qiao Nan seemed to have set the bar high when selecting her target audience. Qiao Nan did her research and analyzed the data. As such, she was very clear that the number of people in this category wasn’t little.
Furthermore, these sacrificed heroes didn’t leave behind only their elders but also their children. After the heroes sacrificed themselves, their other halves were still young and had plenty of time before them. Qiao Nan didn’t care if they remarried. However, she couldn’t tolerate it if the elders and children they left behind were not taken care of.
Based on this situation, Qiao Nan expanded her original target audience. The elders who were left behind because of such situations would be given certain kinds of treatment and care. If there were children left behind, Qiao Nan couldn’t do much, but she was willing to sponsor their studies so that they could continue school.
The amount of money spent on elder care alone would be huge. Elders weren’t picky about food, but since they were going to be taken care of, their nutritional needs had to be considered. Not all who were taking care of the elders were volunteers. There were fees involved as well. Also, old people were like machines used for a long time. There would always be issues that required fixing, right? This would then be a huge sum of money.
After talking about elders, it was time to talk about children.
Not a lot of money would be spent on the child’s nine years of compulsory education. However, the costs were high when they reached high school or even university. The elders in the family wouldn’t be able to afford it. There was always no way to save the money spent on the elders and children.
It was precisely because of this that after knowing Qiao Nan’s plan, Zhai Sheng said that once this matter was invested in, it wouldn’t be good if it was stopped halfway. However, the costs to bear were huge and she would suffer a lot of stress due to the financial burden. Also, Zhai Sheng didn’t know much about this aspect, let alone understand it. That was because he hadn’t done it before.
In this way, once the plan was implemented, Zhai Sheng couldn’t give Qiao Nan a detailed reference on how complicated and difficult this process was. If he wanted to help, he didn’t know where to start either.
Qiao Nan was a newbie in this. Zhai Sheng was similarly one too. As such, they definitely had to consider more issues than an average person.
It was good to do good deeds with good intentions. However, it really wasn’t easy to do good well. “Let’s find a team of lawyers and asset management folks. We can’t rush this.”
