Shen Wei's parents went to the mountain village.
This made Gu Qingyan's parents feel a bit restless too.
Both sets of parents were connected on WeChat.
Every day they saw posts in their friends' circle about raising chickens and ducks, and fishing.
Occasionally, they would go and tell stories to the children.
They watched the kids running and jumping around in the playground.
It was truly healing.
Anyway, Gu Qingyan's parents had also reached retirement age.
They had grown tired of attending various banquets day after day, and instead longed for this kind of rural life.
The first time they saw it, they were just envious.
The second time, they felt a bit of yearning.
But as time went on, it turned into a desire to follow in their footsteps.
So they secretly contacted Shen Wei's parents.
Shen Wei's parents said: "It's so wonderful here, we eat wild vegetables from the mountains, and the students are very grateful to us. They often go up the mountain to pick various vegetables for us."
"It's very fresh and delicious, you can't get this in the city."
Hearing this, Gu Qingyan's parents became even more eager, saying: "Then I'll come over too, we can be neighbors again!"
"Come on over!" Shen Wei's parents said.
So the Gu couple went there as well.
As soon as they arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the local leaders.
The main hope was that these large enterprise groups would come to invest and build factories.
As long as there were factories, the local young people wouldn't migrate away excessively.
It could also revitalize local tax revenue and development.
Unfortunately, they had nothing to offer here.
Many investors came, took a look around, and left.
This time was just a routine reception.
After all, the Gu Corporation was so famous, their selection criteria would definitely be stricter.
But unexpectedly, Gu's Father decided to invest in this area.
He told the locals: "I'm not focusing on the conditions of this place, but I want to make this place better."
The first to become wealthy should help those behind to achieve common prosperity.
He was also inspired by Shen Wei's charitable work.
This part of the money didn't come from the Gu Corporation.
Instead, he used his personal savings to build a garment factory for 1,000 people.
The whole county was suddenly in an uproar.
The old man had the Gu Corporation send a few people over for management.
The rest would all be recruited locally.
This suddenly created over 1,000 job positions.
The local government was also very sincere, directly offering a large area for them to build the factory.
Including employee dormitories and such.
The locals could also understand this account, they started making money as soon as the Gu Corporation decided to build a factory here.
Just building the factory and dormitories was a large sum of money.
And it could also drive the surrounding small businesses.
After it's built, they would still need to recruit locally, which were all good things for revitalizing the area.
Actually, building a factory in this place didn't align with Gu Corporation's usual interests.
Because the investment was too large and the income too low.
But seeing the happy smiles of the local leaders and the enthusiasm of the local people, Gu's Father was truly moved.
He even said to Gu Qingyan: "We should learn from you young people too, giving roses to others leaves fragrance in hand."
They had done charity before, but it wasn't the same as what Shen Wei did. Helping others is also a kind of happiness.
Gu Qingyan's eyes shone brightly as he said: "That's what I think too."
Gu Qingyan's awareness had improved.
He was always around Shen Wei, helping her in every way.
Even the rich second generation felt that going out partying wasn't that interesting anymore.
People are easily influenced. They all started doing charity work too.
They even competed with each other on this, seeing who could do better and more.
Although they couldn't compare to Shen Wei, it was still not bad.
No one knows when it started, but Shen Wei, this nouveau riche daughter, suddenly overtook everyone.
Even the real wealthy young ladies and gentlemen took her as a role model.
Shen Wei never thought that her small flutter of wings would cause such a huge butterfly effect.
The higher-ups even specially gave her an honorary citizen title.
People from Starry Sky Kindergarten all started donating money.
Shen Wei said it wasn't necessary.
Doctor Lu said: "This is everyone's heartfelt intention, and I don't allow them to donate more than half of their salary. It's all within an acceptable range, so just take it."
Seeing that this love was truly weighty.
Shen Wei had no choice but to accept.
...
Recently, Shen Wei has been aiding multiple welfare institutions, but with her limited energy, most of the work is done by volunteers.
However, there was something strange about the aid request from one welfare institution.
This welfare institution only had about 40 children.
But they applied for a large amount of aid.
At first, Shen Wei sent aid according to their needs, about 1 million yuan worth of supplies.
Plus various stationery, clothes and other things the children needed, which were also sent over gradually. At that time, too many things were being handled at once. There were bound to be oversights, but after reviewing, she felt something was fishy.
So she booked a ticket, wanting to go and take a look.
How could the aid requirements for these few dozen be the same as for several hundred people?
Just as Shen Wei was about to take action, Gu Qingyan immediately packed his things and came over with his suitcase.
Shen Wei said: "What are you doing?"
Gu Qingyan looked hurt: "Are you not planning to take me along this time either? I know I'm useless, but I can help carry things!"
He spoke so humbly that Shen Wei shamefully softened her heart, and then said: "Alright, let's go together!" She booked a ticket for him too.
After arriving, they contacted the local volunteers.
They went to the B City Welfare Institute together.
This time it was a surprise inspection.
They hadn't informed the welfare institute beforehand.
"Do you think there's something going on here?" Gu Qingyan said.
Shen Wei said: "Most likely there is."
Gu Qingyan was stunned: "Why didn't you say so earlier, I could have brought more people!" It's said that even a strong dragon can't suppress the local snake.
Shen Wei said: "Let's see the specific situation when we get there."
Gu Qingyan said with a solemn face: "No matter what, I will protect you."
Shen Wei smiled.
Gu Qingyan then puffed up his not-so-robust chest.
