Chapter 1349: A Very Good Public Welfare Initiative!

Lao Qin wiped his tears and gripped his son's hand tightly, "I feel especially guilty. I haven't been able to provide you with a good standard of living. But don't worry, I will recover my health as soon as possible. Don't worry about tuition; as long as you are willing to continue your studies, Dad will keep supporting you."

After he finished speaking, he patted Qin Yang on the shoulder, walked into the house, and came back out a moment later.

He had something extra in his hand.

It was carefully wrapped in newspaper.

He unfolded the newspaper cautiously: "This is for you."

Qin Yang opened the newspaper and found cash inside, about twenty thousand yuan: "Dad, you can keep this money for your medical treatment."

Lao Qin shook his head and patted Qin Yang on the shoulder again:

"I know my own body well enough; a period of quiet rest will be fine. This money is for your schooling. You don't need to worry about money; don't go to the construction site starting tomorrow. Your main energy now should be focused on your studies. Once you get to university, you must also focus on your books; don't think about working to earn money and distracting yourself."

Qin Yang's eyes turned red instantly: "Dad, you should use this money for your treatment. I can apply for student loans; there's no need to worry about tuition. Once I'm at university, I can also strive for various grants and scholarships. I can take good care of myself."

Lao Qin smiled, "This money is prepared for you. Our means are limited, but this is our heartfelt wish; you must accept it."

Qin Yang understood his father's intentions and took the money: "Dad, thank you. I will definitely study hard."

Early the next morning, just as Qin Yang was about to leave, he was stopped by Lao Qin.

"You are not allowed to go to the construction site today."

Qin Yang said hurriedly: "Dad, one should see things through to the end. Even if I'm leaving, I have to say a word to Uncle Tao."

Lao Qin sighed: "Fine, I'll go with you."

Qin Yang knew he couldn't win against his father, "Alright, let's go together."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the construction site of the Gaozhi Building.

Tao Qiusheng was somewhat surprised to see Lao Qin appear, "Lao Qin, aren't you at home recovering from your injury? Why did you come over?"

Lao Qin glanced at his son and smiled bitterly, "General Manager Tao, I came here today specifically to thank you. This child, Qin Yang, went behind my back and caused you trouble."

Tao Qiusheng waved his hand, "Lao Qin, that's being too formal. This child, Qin Yang, is especially sensible. I originally thought he would work for a few days at most, but I didn't expect him to grit his teeth and persist for a month. You've raised a good son!"

Lao Qin laughed, "He is indeed a good child. General Manager Tao, I came here today to apologize to you. Qin Yang is too young; this job is not suitable for him."

Tao Qiusheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Lao Qin, I understand you. Wait a moment."

After saying this, Tao Qiusheng dialed the finance department's number: "Settle Qin Yang's wages!"

A moment later, the finance officer walked in with a payroll sheet, "General Manager Tao, this is Little Qin's salary for this month."

After signing, Tao Qiusheng said: "It's one day short of a full month, but calculate it as a full month and clear the wages."

The finance officer replied: "Understood."

The finance officer then went to get the money.

Tao Qiusheng took out his own wallet, added all the money inside to the total, and handed it all to Lao Qin.

"Take this money."

Lao Qin was somewhat surprised and hurriedly declined: "General Manager Tao, this is too embarrassing."

Tao Qiusheng looked at Qin Yang and said, "This child is very good and will have great prospects in the future. I think highly of him, so don't decline; just accept it."

Lao Qin sighed and instructed his son, "Why aren't you thanking General Manager Tao?"

Qin Yang's impression of Tao Qiusheng had not been very good originally, because he was very strict with the workers on a daily basis and often scolded people loudly.

However, at this moment, Qin Yang was moved by another side of Tao Qiusheng.

"Uncle Tao, thank you."

Tao Qiusheng walked up and patted Qin Yang on the shoulder: "Keep up the good work, study hard, and you must make something of yourself."

After Qin Yang left, Tao Qiusheng sighed to himself. His own son was two years older than Qin Yang and had barely managed to get into high school, only to be expelled from school for fighting. Now he was idle and had become a social loafer.

Although he was doing better than Lao Qin, he was far inferior to Lao Qin when it came to educating his son.

If his son could be half as sensible as Qin Yang, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Tang Ye received a call from Tao Qiusheng.

"County Magistrate Tang, I'm reporting something to you. Lao Qin brought his son over to resign today. He didn't know his son was working at the construction site before, but now that he knows, he won't let Little Qin continue."

Tang Ye nodded and sighed, "I see. The hearts of parents are truly pitiful. Lao Qin can't bear to let Qin Yang suffer; this is understandable."

Tao Qiusheng said, "I plan to gather the workers to raise some tuition money for Little Qin. Every little bit helps."

Tang Ye praised, "You have a kind heart. But let's not have the workers pay; everyone's life is not easy. I will find a way to solve it."

Tao Qiusheng was stunned for a moment and laughed, "County Magistrate Tang, if you can step in, it will certainly be solved easily."

Tang Ye and Tao Qiusheng had many opportunities to interact.

Although he hadn't had much schooling, his character was not bad.

In the afternoon, Tang Ye went to the Hongxing Group footwear and apparel production base for research.

With the support of the Government, the base had already begun to take shape.

Gao Xin accompanied Tang Ye on an inspection of the factory area and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Tang, it is expected that our factory will be able to officially start production and operation next month."

Tang Ye nodded: "Are there any issues that need us to coordinate and resolve?"

Gao Xin looked troubled: "The biggest difficulty at present is recruitment. We will transfer a batch of skilled workers from other places, but this is not a long-term solution after all."

Tang Ye nodded slightly and said to Ma Ran: "Record this problem. General Manager Gao, please rest assured. Xiyang City has recently organized many recruitment activities in other places. We will report your labor needs to the city, and the city will assist in carrying out the recruitment work."

Gao Xin said hurriedly: "Thank you so much."

Tang Ye laughed, "By the way, there is one more thing I would like to ask General Manager Gao to help with."

Gao Xin was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Please go ahead, County Magistrate Tang!"

Tang Ye said, "A few days ago, the City Television Station reported a piece of news. There is a child in Yechuan who has excellent academic performance, but the family situation is not very good."

Gao Xin realized, "Is it that teenager who went to the construction site to move bricks for his father?"

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"That is correct.

Hongxing Group is a publicly listed enterprise with social responsibility; we have had very pleasant public welfare collaborations before, and the ten thousand pairs of shoes and gloves you donated achieved a very good social response.

This time is also a very good opportunity; this child's image fits the main theme of society perfectly!

If you are willing to sponsor him, this would be another excellent public welfare action!"

Gao Xin understood Tang Ye's idea and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Tang, I cannot make the decision on this matter personally, but I can submit an application to the group headquarters."

Tang Ye nodded vigorously, "Then I will have to trouble you, President Gao!"
