246. Original intention
Kang Kang engages in this charity cause completely different from Yao Yuan’s idea.
She really wants to provide these helpless people with the best help.
However, Yao Yuan's original intention was to use this kind of charity to improve his company's reputation.
When it was really done, Yao Yuan realized that what he wanted to do was no longer in line with his original intention at that time.
Especially with Kang Kang and his old cadres, Uncle Ma, this is not what he imagined. He acted like, occasionally held an event and invited TV stations and major media to show it.
But he didn't regret it either.
Although the investment was more than twice as much as he expected, through the efforts of Kang Kang and his old cadres, his charity foundation really helped people in need.
This kind of happiness that can truly help others is a joy produced in any form and cannot be compared.
He saw the joy of resistance and truly experienced this happiness in his body.
He asked Shao Ling and Gregory to find a talent for clothing design from Europe to serve as assistants for Kang Kang and director of the design department, trying to free up the time for Kang Kang to manage charity foundations.
As long as he has time and opportunities, he will promote the significance of doing charity with the bosses of his own unit, and even be willing to raise funds for the bosses of other units to ensure the source of funds of the foundation and raise more funds.
At the same time, he himself increased his investment in charitable foundations and even began to live a life as frugal as possible to ensure that the foundation has enough funds available.
Seeing that Mr. Zhang was not neat and even served him tea himself, Yao Yuan hurried over and took the tea and said, "Old man, you don't have to be so polite to me. You sit down and let's drink water and come by yourself."
As he spoke, he helped Uncle Zhang back to the sofa and sat down.
The room is not big, and the entrance is just a living room of about eight square meters, and then inside are two bedrooms, one big and one small, the larger one is about ten square meters, the smaller one is only six square meters, and the other is the kitchen, which is also as small as small.
This is the common pattern of the first generation of old-fashioned residential buildings of mining machines.
After the old man sat down again, Yao Yuan and Zhou Chaoyang sat on the sofa beside him.
Yao Yuan asked Mr. Zhang some common words without saying a word: "Old man, how are you feeling recently?"
The old man replied, "Now you don't have to use crutches, it's much better than before."
Yao Yuan said casually: "My grandpa, now we are catching up with a good era. Life is getting better and better day by day. We have to take good care of ourselves, strive to live a few more years and enjoy our happiness!"
The old man sighed and said, "Building, I have to thank you couple. If you want to say, life is getting better and better now, and the food, clothing and use are many times better than before. I am not afraid of you making fun of it. I really don't like the days now."
Yao Yuan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly and I'll go and solve it for you. It's okay to tell Kangkang."
The old man shook his head and said, "With you good people helping me, what else can I be dissatisfied with? I miss those days in the past!
We have produced two good people in our mining machine. One is your father’s old factory manager, and the other is you!
To be honest, I can't stand this society now. If I hadn't met you two, I wouldn't have been willing to live anymore, and I wouldn't have the energy to live at all!
Just look at the neighborhood, no one cares about anyone, and the human touch of the past has disappeared. Also, in this factory, the workers can recognize nothing but money.
When your father and old factory manager were there, it was not like this. Workers did their work so that the country could become prosperous and strong as soon as possible and make their own contributions to this new society!
At that time, although life was poor and everyone had a hard time, they were very energetic and worked!
At that time, I was not married yet and lived in a single dormitory in the factory, which were the rows of houses in front of this village.
The children who just came out of the countryside were all seventeen or eighteen. What do you know? But the organization cared about us. Every Sunday, the elders and sisters in the factory took the initiative to come to our single dormitories to see if we could cover our quilts and wear clothes. Help us sew clothes and teach us to sew quilts. Wherever there are difficulties in life, people will teach and help.
If you have a cold or a fever, the union will take the initiative to send someone to take you to see a doctor, take care of your life, and bring medicine and water to you to the head of the bed.
The masters' food is well eaten at home, but they can't forget our apprentices, so they call us home to eat together.
At that time, the entire mining machine was like a big family, making everyone feel warm, and everyone saw it was like seeing their relatives.
Your father, the old factory director, is not to mention it, just like the fathers of all of us.
I remember one year, there was a bed bug in the single dormitory, and everyone couldn't sleep. The old factory director personally brought the cadres to check in from dormitory.
I still remember what the old factory director said at that time. He asked the cadres, if your children also lived in such an environment, and the bed bugs were bitten with bumps, would you sleep at night?
The old factory manager lived in a single dormitory and told the cadres of the Aiwei Association that as long as there is a bed bug in the single dormitory and a young worker is bitten by a bed bug, he will not go home!
Within three days of travel, there were no bed bugs in the single dormitory.”
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Only with cadres like your father can survive that difficult era and today! But look at the present! My own son is unwilling to care about his father, and others will be even more likely to rely on him!
If you two hadn't come over, to be honest, as I am now, I really think it's meaningless to live. It would be better to die. Once you close your eyes, you can't see anything and know nothing!"
Yao Yuan really has nothing to say. This is not just a nostalgia for aging people.
Kang Kang has a deep memory of that passionate time, and in her heart, she may also have nostalgia for that time. So, she was thinking about doing something to do her own strength.
Perhaps, this is the original intention of her devoted all her enthusiasm to doing this charity?
Yao Yuan had no choice but to say some words of comfort to comfort the old man, and took the opportunity to change the topic and talk about other topics that the old man was interested in.
After lunch at Uncle Zhang’s house, Yao Yuan took Zhou Chaoyang to the city’s nursing home.
Compared to going to Mr. Zhang's house, Zhou Chaoyang is more willing to come here. He lives here lightly. At most, he pushes the elderly with unclear legs and feet out to bask in the sun. Everyone gathers together and talks about gossip.
When chatting with the elderly, Zhou Chaoyang discovered that Yao Yuan was very eloquent and had a broad knowledge. No matter what the elderly talked about, he had topics to talk to the elderly.
Zhang Jianguo's mother was also in this nursing home. Yao Yuan treated her no differently than other elderly people, and even more friendly, calling her "Aunt Zhang".
Zhou Chaoyang did not dare to reveal his identity, for fear that Zhang Jianguo's mother would ask about Zhang Jianguo. But he still deliberately stayed with the old lady, trying to understand some of the past grudges between Yao Yuan and the Zhang family.
The old man suffered from a stroke and seemed a little dementia. Perhaps he was unwilling to mention his husband and son and deliberately avoided this topic.
She hadn't seen Zhang Jianguo for many years, and seemed to have forgotten her son. She was unwilling to say more to her husband and another son, Zhang Jianjun. But she was very kind to Yao Yuan, calling him "silly" and treating him like her son.
In the afternoon, Big Orange came to see her. Her attitude towards Big Orange was as if she had seen her daughter, and she complained that Big Orange always didn't come to see her, saying that the waiter's attitude was not good.
When an elderly person reaches this age, sometimes he acts like a child.
In Zhou Chaoyang's opinion, the waiters here are very patient and always explain various things to the elderly without getting tired of explaining various things, but they are always unable to completely satisfy the elderly.
Dajuzi also really regarded himself as Zhang Jianguo’s mother’s daughter. When the old man said that the waiter was not good, Dajuzi would hold her face and say to the old man, saying that you think it’s not good, so I told Uncle Ma to take you back.
By this time, Zhang Jianguo's mother stopped talking. It seemed that it was better to be here, and she would live a more comfortable life.
Zhou Chaoyang later followed Zhang Jianguo. Dajuzi didn't know him, nor did he know that Zhang Jianguo later changed his name to Zhang Wencai and opened a company again. She thought Zhou Chaoyang was volunteering in other units.
Zhou Chaoyang didn't try to ask what Dajuzi, he no longer wanted to ask.
The feelings of the day made him realize that Yao Yuan and Zhang Jianguo were not the same.
After leaving the nursing home, Yao Yuan did not ask Zhou Chaoyang to go back, but took him to his office and chatted with him alone.
"How did you feel this day?" Yao Yuan asked him. "It doesn't matter. Whatever you think of will not affect my decision to let Salton go."
Zhou Chaoyang was silent for a long time before saying, "Mr. Yao, I haven't thought about it yet. As for the feelings, I just feel that we are too small compared to you. Of course, you are successful people, and we are still struggling to survive, and the feelings are of course different from you."
Yao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "What I said is not the same as what you said." Then he looked at him and asked, "When you know that you are really doing good things and really helping others, just like when Mr. Zhang thanks you today, what do you think?"
Zhou Chaoyang was silent for a long time, thinking in his heart what Yao Yuan wanted to know.
After a while, he replied, "I feel ashamed. I feel that I really haven't helped him anything. I just have to follow Mr. Yao and put some effort into it."
Yao Yuan nodded: "If you think this way, it means I'm not wrong with you." Then he explained, "As a person, as long as he has a kind heart, no matter what level he reaches, he can save him. What he is afraid of is that his conscience is directly lost and he becomes inseparable from good and evil, that is hopeless."
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Yao Yuan and finally couldn't help saying: "Mr. Yao, I have parents, and I am also in my seventies and eighties. I'm willing to help the elderly!
If President Yao is worried that this time he will come here, he will be ill-intentioned, then he can transfer Salton to President Yao for free. As long as President Yao can give the brothers in the company a bite of food, he will be considered as completing the task!"
