Shen Wei had placed orders for rice, flour, and cooking oil from local suppliers.
She arranged for them to be delivered to the local welfare home.
She also called the welfare home in advance to inform them about the incoming donations.
Shen Wei chose large wholesale markets in the area for her purchases.
This way, she could buy things at a lower price.
Although Shen Wei had money, there were many places where it was needed.
She couldn't afford to spend it carelessly.
Previously, buying stationery, clothes, shoes, and snacks for the children had already cost her twenty to thirty million yuan.
She planned to spend the rest of the money wisely.
Having money didn't mean she could be wasteful.
So she found local wholesale markets and placed orders directly.
Usually, these local wholesale markets were supplied by smaller vendors and didn't offer delivery services.
Shen Wei said, "Could you please help me with delivery? I'm buying a large quantity."
The grain store owner had heard this kind of request many times before: "Sorry, we can't deliver no matter how much you buy!"
The owner seemed a bit impatient, as there were quite a few customers in his shop. He said, "Do you have any other business? If not, I'll hang up."
He had seen this type of customer before.
Not long ago, two girls said they wanted to buy a lot, and spent a long time haggling with him.
He finally gave in.
He thought they would buy a significant amount, but in the end, each of them only bought two bags of rice and three jugs of soybean oil.
They had managed to get a wholesale price and delivery for such a small order.
The wholesale owner learned his lesson and started rejecting such business afterward. He didn't have time for their games.
Hearing Shen Wei's voice, the owner was full of impatience.
But then Shen Wei said something.
The owner's attitude changed completely, and he immediately said, "Alright, alright, I'll deliver to you even if we don't do it for others."
They added each other on WeChat, and Shen Wei sent over her order list.
After the owner quoted the price, Shen Wei immediately transferred the money.
The owner then started arranging for his staff to load the truck.
His wife said, "Hey, it's so busy now, where are you going? Don't tell me you've met some young girl who called you 'brother' a couple of times, and now you're all confused!"
When the boss's wife said this, the nearby customers couldn't help but let out friendly laughs.
This made the boss blush and say, "You don't understand, this is a big order."
"How big of an order?" the boss's wife asked skeptically. Their shop was already bustling with activity, and they were set to sell over a hundred thousand yuan worth of goods in this period.
Some grain shops, although they didn't order much at once, placed frequent replenishment orders.
They had to prioritize these customers first.
There were also issues with new customers. Taking time out now to make a delivery seemed like misplaced priorities.
The boss said, "This customer ordered one million yuan worth of goods."
His wife gasped, then grabbed the phone to look. She counted the zeros in the payment several times.
Then she looked at the order list: it included all kinds of grains, oils, and seasonings.
There was a ton of rice alone.
There were also local dried vegetables, which could be stored for a very long time.
The delivery destination surprised the boss's wife even more: "It's the welfare home."
"Exactly!" the boss said. "This is a kind-hearted person. You wouldn't refuse to deliver now, would you?"
The boss's wife glared at her husband: "Why didn't you say so earlier!" Then she added, "Since it's for charity, let's add another 50,000 yuan worth of goods, as our contribution."
The boss's face softened, and he said, "My wife has such a good heart."
His wife would often tear up watching short videos online.
Although she could be sharp-tongued at times,
she never hesitated when it came to important matters.
So the boss's wife shouted, "Quickly load up the truck for this kind person. I'll go along with the extra goods. Use the newest rice."
"Boss's wife, are you trying to empty our warehouse?" a worker joked.
The boss's wife retorted, "Stop talking nonsense."
They had cooperating villages below them. If they needed rice, they could have it freshly milled.
The priority now was to satisfy this customer.
The boss's wife truly admired these charitable people.
She personally escorted the delivery to the welfare home.
It took almost half a day.
When they finally arrived, they handed over the list to the welfare home.
Although tired, they felt extremely satisfied.
The welfare home was shocked. They had received donations before, but never on such a large scale.
The grain store owner's wife said, "We didn't make any profit on this order."
They only earned 50,000 yuan, but they had added extra goods worth that amount.
The old director of the home had tears in his eyes, constantly holding her hand and saying, "Thank you. Thank you to kind people like you!"
Then the boss's wife asked, "Do you know who this kind person is?"
The welfare home director said, "I believe it's the owner of Starry Sky Kindergarten."
The boss's wife's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I've heard of Starry Sky Kindergarten." But she hadn't heard about them doing charity work quietly like this.
She felt truly moved. She had seen too many people who sought fame and praise.
Some people would do a small deed and want everyone to know about it.
But there were also people who quietly did good deeds.
Very few people knew about it.
The boss's wife felt she should post this on the internet.
To let everyone know about this act of kindness.
She believed the internet could still be a warm place.
Finally, the boss's wife wrote a post, added pictures, and shared it online, tagging Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Starry Sky Kindergarten had a large following.
When people saw it, they were deeply moved.
Xu Wenwen, the stationery store owner, came across this post and commented that Starry Sky Kindergarten had bought many pencils, erasers, and pencil sharpeners from her online store.
She guessed it was also for charity.
She also shared her thought process, thinking at first that she had encountered a scammer.
She sincerely apologized to Starry Sky Kindergarten.
She also promised not to make a profit and to send the items as additional donations.
The internet users were truly touched.
"No wonder it's called Starry Sky Kindergarten. A single spark can start a prairie fire."
"Sister Shen Wei, how many more secrets do you have that we don't know about?"
"This must be the true meaning of being an internet celebrity."
"I'm moved to tears."
"So, fellow Starry Sky fans, let's take action too."
"Charity isn't something that can be accomplished by one person alone. Don't neglect small acts of kindness. I've decided to start with myself."
