Chapter 435: Minli Primary School
Facing Li Yi's question, the driver was silent for a while, then sighed slowly and said, "Isn't it? The school has too many problems. It has no funds and no resources. It is currently supported by these two couples. At some point, there will be nothing left. I have only been able to study for a few days because of the hardships of these children."
Li Yi also felt a little melancholy, but he still had to see the specific situation with his own eyes before talking about anything else. ReadМ
Running a school is an extremely labor-intensive matter.
From Li Yi's perspective, the school is undoubtedly very successful.
However, Li and Tang couple did not take into account some unknown factors behind it, such as the conflict between interests, which will make people use whatever means necessary.
Turning around, we looked at Tongcang Village. The area was so remote that no one with a caring eye would notice it.
Most people are selfish. Even if I tell them that there are still children in the mountains who have no education, most rich people think like, what does it have to do with me?
It is not easy for Li Datang to have this idea and put it into action.
Not to mention it is unrealistic for him to fight against these representatives of capital.
If you want to change the status quo, there is only one way, and that is for Li Yi to take action himself.
Li Yi couldn't do much but give Li Datang and the others a start-up capital.
The reason why I came to see Li Datang this time was of course because I wanted to ask for something from him. Of course, it was not for free. Giving them a start-up capital would be the greatest help.
…
The car stopped in front of a school that didn't look very luxurious, but was quite large. There were only four simple big characters written on the door of this school, Minli Primary School.
After Li Yi paid the fare, he followed the path to the gate of the school. There was only an old man in the security room who didn't even have a system. He was lying on the table in front of him and fell asleep, holding a fan in his hand.
Li Yi gently knocked on the glass of the security room. He said it was a security room, but in fact it was just a wooden house that was almost leaking. It could barely protect against wind and rain.
But for security guards, this is enough.
The old man woke up immediately. After seeing Li Yi, he noticed that there was no one else behind Li Yi, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the look he looked at Li Yi was still a little unkind: "What are you doing here? Where did you come from?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "I'm here to see Li Tang for business matters. I am his manager! He is my boss!"
After hearing this, the old man's eyes became a little more relaxed, then he waved his hand and said, "Go in, the lobby is inside."
Li Yi smiled and nodded. This rhetoric was naturally thought up before he came. It would not be so abrupt if he said that he was from the company.
And the situation in the company is not very good at the moment. It is for this reason that it makes sense to find a school by yourself.
The school is not big, just a playground and a cluster of bungalows.
However, these bungalows all look brand new. They were built not long ago, only two or three years ago.
There are a group of children playing on the playground now. They all look young. The youngest is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is twelve or thirteen years old. There are about twenty or so.
Now these children are hiding behind a woman. This woman looks to be in her thirties and is well-maintained.
Although the clothes they were wearing did not look like ordinary people, the eyes when looking at these children were really gentle.
At this moment, he was leading the children to play the trick of eagle catching chicks. What surprised Li Yi even more was the middle-aged man standing in front. He had an ordinary appearance but also had a warm smile.
Obviously, this middle-aged man was playing the role of the eagle at this time. Both parties were having fun. After seeing a strange young man suddenly appear on the playground, the woman's first reaction was to protect the children. Behind him, the middle-aged man's expression also became gloomier, no longer as warm as before.
"Who are you?"
Li Yi said with a smile: "I just learned about the school by chance and came here to see you. I would like to ask, are you Mr. Li Tangli?"
Li Tang nodded, his expression softened a little, but he was still a little worried. He was afraid that he might not be with the group of people who came to make trouble before, so he had better be careful first. With this in mind, Li Tang stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice. : "Come to the conference room with me to talk!"
Li Yi saw Li Tang's caution, but just smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two walked side by side to an empty bungalow, with only a somewhat crude desk and not even a stool in sight.
Li Tang said in a deep voice: "Where did you come from? What is your purpose?"
Li Yi did not directly answer Li Tang's question, but turned to look at the children playing on the playground, the smile on his lips never disappearing.
"Why do you want to start this school? I have heard many people say it before, and I have heard a dozen different opinions, but I want to hear what you really think."
Li Tang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Li Yi to ask back, then sighed softly and replied:
"It's just for a little compassion. Now I can't do anything, and I can't see the results. Does the reason have any meaning?"
Li Yi nodded slowly, a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Tang to give such a simple explanation. Is it because of a little compassion?
“When I first returned to China, I returned to Jinyuan and saw that many schools were filled with children from rich families and well-established families. However, in some schools, even the tuition fees were earned by their families. These children were already having a hard time. Damn it, why do you still have to suffer like this? Do you still have to look at the eyes of teachers and classmates at school? "
"Everyone should be born equal. I also know that some people use the subsidies provided by the state to do things to enrich their own pockets. What can I do about it? It's useless if I know it. Turning around and thinking about it, Just open your own school, that’s not the case. You’ve seen the situation today.”
Many things are not what you want to be. Li Yi himself feels this deeply. For Li Yi, there are many regrets that cannot be made up for, and it is not every time that he can encounter this kind of opportunity to travel back, so he definitely Most people have many regrets in their lives.
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "I can help you get out of your current predicament, but what I can do is very limited, and I won't help you in vain!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Tang's eyes lit up, but then he became a little wary: "I don't know who you are yet, why do you want to help me?"
