~7 min read 1,353 words

After Tang Ye left, Gao Xin returned to his office and dialed Shui Junhong's number.

"President Shui, Tang Ye just came to the production base for research and made a request, hoping we would sponsor a student."

Shui Junhong felt a bit strange and asked, "What is this student's relationship to him?"

Gao Xin hurriedly explained, "This student has no relationship with him. He is an impoverished student, an inspirational youth. The television station interviewed him about his story, and I was very moved after watching the news."

Shui Junhong was silent for a few seconds, "Send me the news interview to watch."

After hanging up on Gao Xin, Shui Junhong mused that Tang Ye's request still needed to be satisfied.

Tang Ye and Jiang Jing were the same type of people.

Their focus was on political achievements.

Jiang Jing had just been appointed as Municipal Party Secretary, and his future was bound to be limitless.

And Tang Ye was Jiang Jing's confidant.

Tang Ye's father-in-law was the Mayor of Runzhou; such a person would definitely have a smooth path ahead in Huai Province.

Since Tang Ye had spoken up, he naturally had to give him some face.

This interview video regarding Qin Yang had been uploaded to the internet.

After finding the link in the evening, Gao Xin sent it to his Secretary.

The Secretary pulled up the video on the computer.

Shui Junhong watched the interview in silence.

He subconsciously wiped the corner of his eye; there was actually a hint of tears.

To tell the truth, this interview touched his heart.

Shui Junhong's family background was not very good; he had older brothers and sisters above him and a younger brother below, and his father was a cobbler who was busy from morning till night, eventually falling ill with all sorts of ailments.

His father passed away quite early, and Shui Junhong dropped out of school to return home, inheriting his father's shoe shop and giving up the opportunity to study.

Later, due to a chance encounter, he came into contact with sneakers, renovated and upgraded the leather shoe shop, and eventually grew it larger and larger, becoming the boss of a listed company.

In fact, deep in his heart, Shui Junhong had always harbored a thought: if he had continued his studies back then, would he have had a different kind of life?

Shui Junhong dialed Gao Xin's number.

"I've finished watching the news; it is indeed very inspirational. I agree to sponsor this child in the name of the group."

Gao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Chairman."

After hanging up on Shui Junhong, Gao Xin dialed Tang Ye's number.

"County Magistrate Tang, I have good news for you. The Chairman has agreed to sponsor this student and is willing to cover his tuition and all living expenses during his university years."

Tang Ye mused that Shui Junhong still had a broad perspective, "Thank you, Manager Gao, thank you, Chairman Shui."

Subsequently, Tang Ye dialed Tian Xiaomeng's number.

Seeing that it was a call from Tang Ye, Tian Xiaomeng was somewhat surprised, "County Magistrate Tang, is there something you need?"

Tang Ye said, "Reporter Tian, the news about your interview with student Qin Yang last time was very popular!"

Tian Xiaomeng said with a smile, "Yes, many kind-hearted people have called in, willing to help student Qin Yang."

Tang Ye laughed, "The News Girl program has many fans, and they are very kind-hearted. Regarding his tuition, I have already found a suitable solution."

Tian Xiaomeng asked in surprise, "Really? That's great! Which enterprise is it?"

Tang Ye said, "Hongxing Group."

Tian Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief, "This enterprise is very charitable."

Tang Ye laughed, "There are still many charitable enterprises; it requires the media to dig up valuable news so that enterprises can pay attention in time."

Tian Xiaomeng caught the implication in Tang Ye's words, "County Magistrate Tang, we will change our approach in the future! We will strive to help more people in need."

Qin Yang found a job at a supermarket near his home; although it was still physical labor involving unloading and carrying goods every day, and he earned much less than at the construction site, it was still much easier than the work at the site.

Just as Qin Yang finished putting a box of milk on the shelf, the supermarket Manager hurried over.

"Qin Yang, you need to go home quickly. It seems something happened at your house."

Thinking that his father or mother had suffered a mishap, Qin Yang hurried back.

Many neighbors were gathered at the door.

He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and walked inside.

Seeing that both his parents were there and safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, he saw a camera set up in the corner.

That Reporter Tian who had interviewed him last time was holding a microphone and interviewing his father.

Outside the lens, a familiar face was watching him with a smile.

It was exactly County Magistrate Tang, who had come to the construction site a few days ago.

He realized what was happening.

This was an interview at his home.

In an instant, a trace of resistance arose in Qin Yang's heart.

Because he did not want to be exposed too much.

After being interviewed last time, he had lost his job opportunity at the construction site.

Tang Ye walked toward Qin Yang, "Student Qin Yang, your admission letter has arrived. After your father received the letter, he immediately contacted the television reporter. Congratulations, you have been admitted to Renmin University."

Lao Qin explained to Qin Yang: "Some time ago, Reporter Tian contacted me, saying that many viewers were very concerned about you."

The resentment in Qin Yang's heart vanished.

He had not expected there to be a follow-up.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Tang Ye introduced a man in a suit and leather shoes beside him to Qin Yang.

"This is General Manager Gao of Hongxing Group. He was deeply moved after seeing your story, and Hongxing Group is willing to provide you with a scholarship."

Qin Yang looked at Tang Ye in disbelief and said excitedly, "Thank you, General Manager Gao."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Student Qin, after reading your story, our group's chairman, Mr. Shui Junhong, was very moved and gave important instructions, expressing his willingness to sponsor your studies. After you graduate, you are also welcome to join our Hongxing Group to work."

Tang Ye looked toward Gao Xin and praised him with a smile, "Hongxing Group has always been actively engaged in public welfare activities. Mr. Shui Junhong is an entrepreneur with deep sentiments. Hongxing Group is full of human touch, and I believe that in the future, Hongxing Group will certainly be able to grow bigger and stronger, becoming a national brand that the people of our country can be proud of."

Using power to help the vulnerable made Tang Ye feel deeply fulfilled inside.

Tian Xiaomeng gave a look to the cameraman.

The cameraman recorded this scene.

Returning to the television station.

Tian Xiaomeng began editing today's interview footage; because the material was very sufficient, the editing went very quickly.

The leaders of the program team gave high praise to Tian Xiaomeng's sample footage once again.

……

In the evening.

Qin Yang and his father sat by the television and finished watching the interview.

In the interview, Tang Ye's figure did not appear.

This was a request Tang Ye had made to Tian Xiaomeng!

Because if he appeared, it would make the public welfare activity seem too utilitarian.

However, Lao Qin knew Tang Ye's importance.

Lao Qin held Qin Yang's hand and said with emotion, "Qin Yang, remember to thank County Magistrate Tang. If it weren't for his help, you would never have received so much attention."

Qin Yang nodded, "Dad, I will remember."

Lao Qin sighed at the impermanence of life.

He did not expect that a casual remark he made to Tang Ye at the construction site back then would actually change his son's life trajectory.
