Then the system's mechanical voice sounded again.
"Next mission: Aid 20 welfare institutions. Reward: One pig farm."
"Reward: 20% plot reversal of the original story."
Adding to the previous 80%, completing this mission would completely overturn the entire plot of the original story.
Shen Wei was stunned for a moment.
This system task was truly very difficult.
Previously, it was just point-to-point assistance. Now it was based on welfare institutions as the basic unit, with each institution housing anywhere from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of people.
Providing aid would require enormous manpower, energy, and resources.
But Shen Wei still decided to accept this mission after some thought.
So Shen Wei went directly to Qin Shu.
Qin Shu was now working at a welfare institution.
He was one of the people most familiar with the workings of welfare institutions.
Subsequently, Shen Wei proposed wanting to aid 20 welfare institutions.
Qin Shu wasn't surprised at all.
Instead, he shared all the information he knew with Shen Wei.
Afterwards, Shen Wei called each institution one by one to make contact.
She asked what they needed, and most lacked essential study supplies.
They also needed warm clothes and staple foods like rice, flour, and oil.
Shen Wei spent a whole day making phone calls.
By the last call, her voice had gone hoarse.
She had a clear understanding of all the welfare institutions' needs.
Currently, she had over 50 million yuan at her disposal.
While 50 million seemed like a lot,
She had used up all her money recently.
The Starry Sky restaurant and its second branch had consumed a huge amount of money.
Fortunately, she had earned some money afterwards.
This 50 million was already very fast in terms of earning speed.
But to aid 20 welfare institutions would be extremely costly.
Divided by 20, each place would only receive about 2 million yuan in aid.
That wouldn't be enough to buy things for the children.
She wanted to provide some basic assistance to the children, ensuring their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
Moreover, given Shen Wei's background in running a kindergarten, she also had some requirements for the children's learning and entertainment.
So Shen Wei decided to sell two of the villas under her name.
Her father had been a nouveau riche.
And her father had a very good eye for buying houses.
He bought several back then, which have now increased in value dozens of times over.
Shen Wei was also a property tycoon, and she took out the two most valuable villas.
The most valuable aspect of these villas was their location.
After all, good locations are hard to come by nowadays.
The residents of this villa complex were either wealthy or noble, and even some minor celebrities came to buy houses here.
Being able to buy a house here was a symbol of status and prestige.
When her father bought her a house here initially, the price was already considerable.
But scarcity increases value, and with houses here being rare, their prices rose even as property values fell across the city. Now, if the two were auctioned together, the realtor said they could fetch up to 100 million yuan.
Shen Wei's requirement was to cash out quickly and sell fast.
After all, for such expensive houses, it would take at least a month to sell.
If things didn't go smoothly, it could even take a year or two. Shen Wei couldn't wait that long.
She told the realtor: She hoped to sell quickly, and there was room for negotiation on the price.
Besides these two villas, Shen Wei had other houses as well. But they weren't much.
However, as soon as the news was posted with the realtor, Gu Qingyan called Shen Wei.
"Why are you selling the houses?"
After all, the person selling the houses was Shen Wei.
Shen Wei was currently a hot commodity in the upper-class circles.
As soon as the houses were listed, several industry bigwigs knew about it. Naturally, the news reached the ears of Gu Qingyan, her official boyfriend.
Shen Wei said, "I want to aid welfare institutions, but I don't have money now."
Gu Qingyan was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a few tens of millions on hand, I'll transfer it to you immediately. And I also have several properties under my name, let's sell mine instead."
He couldn't bear to see Shen Wei sell her own houses.
Shen Wei said, "No!" This wasn't a small amount.
Gu Qingyan, however, was unusually firm: "Using yours or mine is the same, we're family after all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wei fell silent on the other end.
Gu Qingyan said, "We are family, aren't we?" He sounded a bit insecure.
Shen Wei said, "But we still need to keep money matters clear!"
Gu Qingyan said, "Anyway, I have no use for that money. Before I met you, I was living a dissipated life every day. After meeting you, accompanying you to rescue and raise children, not only did it help me regain some confidence, but it also made me discover more meaning in life."
Indeed. It was like those who normally buy yachts for tens of millions.
Or commute by helicopter, living the same kind of life.
When a person's wealth reaches a certain level, it stagnates.
The rich have everything, but instead feel empty, wanting to find excitement in various places.
Now, what he wanted most, he had already obtained - becoming Shen Wei's boyfriend.
Being able to do charity work with Shen Wei was, in his view, a very cool thing.
Gu Qingyan then called the realtor, telling him not to sell Shen Wei's houses, but to sell his own instead.
Gu Qingyan's houses were in even better locations.
After all, developers initially reserved the best houses for top-tier heirs of wealthy families.
Shen Wei was only a nouveau riche back then, and although she could buy in, the location and area were much inferior.
Gu Qingyan's house was listed and immediately sold for 120 million yuan. Such houses were rare and highly sought after, with many wanting to buy but unable to. Usually, even if they were to be sold, they would be sold to close friends or brothers. It was rare for them to circulate externally.
The realtor was ecstatic. This house was extremely easy to sell. As soon as the news was out, someone wanted to buy it, paying on the same day. The realtor's commission for this single deal was in the high six figures. Colleagues around were green with envy.
If only all houses were this easy to sell.
Gu Qingyan received the money, added his own 30 million, and transferred a total of 150 million to Shen Wei.
Property matters have always been viewed seriously in wealthy families.
Even when young couples get married, they often have to do property notarization in advance.
Let alone when two people are just boyfriend and girlfriend.
Shen Wei said she didn't want it.
Gu Qingyan then looked at Shen Wei with a hurt expression, implying in every way that Shen Wei didn't consider him as one of her own.
Shen Wei had never encountered this kind of situation before, someone begging her to accept money.
But this amount of money was really too much.
Shen Wei even mentioned this matter to Gu Qingyan's family.
Only then did Gu Qingyan's parents realize that their son had sold two villas under his name.
But upon hearing about this, they didn't object. Instead, they said, "If that boy is willing to give it to you, just accept it." They even added, "If you need money, uncle and auntie also have some."
Shen Wei repeatedly refused and hung up the phone.
Gu Qingyan blinked beside her and said, "They've long wanted to package me up and give me to you. Just accept this money with peace of mind. Even if we can't be together in the future, I will absolutely never ask you for this money back. It's my voluntary gift."
He even wrote it in the transfer.
He just wanted Shen Wei to accept it without any burden. After a moment of silence, Shen Wei said, "Alright then."
Gu Qingyan immediately broke into a smile.
Shen Wei was also amused by him.
After laughing, she was filled with emotion.
