Chapter 728: You Have the Appearance of Poverty
"A broad forehead and a small chin—this is a typical Appearance of losing a father in childhood. If I'm not mistaken, your parents passed away long ago." Chen Yu grabbed his hand: "Looking at your palm lines again, the wealth line is thin and scattered; this is a Life of scattering wealth. You say you are the boss of a small business, how could I possibly believe that?"
"You..." The couple's expressions changed drastically. Originally, they wanted to quibble, but Chen Yu's words were almost entirely accurate.
"You are not legitimate adopters at all; you are imposters." Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice: "Speak, who are you people?"
"We, we..." The two looked at each other. Suddenly, Dong Shan lunged for the chair behind him to smash it at Chen Yu, then snatched the door and fled.
But just as he reached the doorway, Chen Yu, who was behind him, kicked out. Dong Shan's body flopped forward, his mouth hitting the concrete floor, landing face-first in the dirt.
Immediately following a scream, Li Jing was also thrown out. The two fell side by side and couldn't get up for a long while.
"Brother Chen, I've already called the police. These, these two people are human traffickers?" Tang Xue ran out with Chen Yu. She looked at these two people in shock, too stunned to speak.
"There is a set procedure for adoption at an orphanage; these scammers specialize in exploiting this loophole now." Chen Yu said: "They are familiar with some of the orphanage's adoption procedures, so you need to be more careful in the future."
"Thank you, Brother Chen. If it weren't for you, we really would have been deceived by them today. After Director Li returns, I will discuss this matter with her. I must tell my sister that the adoption review process must be strict in the future to prevent this kind of situation from happening."
"Let me ask them first if they have any accomplices." Chen Yu grabbed the two of them and dragged them inside. Of course, this could not go without a round of harsh interrogation.
However, these two fellows were likely first-time offenders. They had forged documents and originally thought their plan was flawless, but they hadn't expected to run into Chen Yu the moment they appeared. In the end, the two were handed over to the police, and prison time awaited them.
After dealing with these people, it was already past eleven in the morning. Tang Xue invited Chen Yu to stay and eat with the children, and Chen Yu agreed.
Tang Xue was a university student, and in her spare time, she was always buried in the orphanage. She liked interacting with children and was also keen on charitable causes.
This orphanage had over two hundred children, and the orphanage was equipped with a kitchen, with several masters specifically responsible for the children's meals.
The master in charge of procurement had just unloaded the vegetables when a group of uninvited guests broke in.
A bald man with a tattoo on his arm led a few small-time thugs and kicked the vegetables off the tricycle. The few small-time thugs behind him swarmed up, and for a time, they punched and kicked, smashing the newly bought vegetables to pieces.
"Who are you people? What are you doing?" Master Liu from the kitchen rushed out to ask.
"Are you the person in charge of the kitchen?" the bald man asked with a fierce look.
"That's right, it's me. What are you doing?" Master Liu asked in alarm.
"Nothing much, just notifying you. From now on, whether it's schools or construction units nearby, any dining group of thirty people or more must be provided by our Fulin Catering." The bald man tossed down a business card: "Today is a notification; it starts tomorrow."
"This, this won't do. We are an orphanage, a public welfare institution. The food is funded by the institution, and we procure it uniformly." Master Liu was taken aback.
He had heard of Fulin Catering; it was a catering company that had been established not long ago. It was said that this group were meal-bullies, and all dining for surrounding group units had to be provided by them.
He had thought it was enough for these guys to run wild elsewhere, but who could have imagined they would actually reach their hands into an orphanage.
"I am notifying you today, not negotiating with you." The bald man said angrily: "If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, believe it or not, I'll smash your kitchen."
"I, I am just a head chef, I can't make the decisions." Master Liu trembled with fear.
"Then why are you talking so much nonsense? Call your person in charge over, and I'll have a word with them." The bald man shoved Master Liu aside.
Master Liu fell to the ground with a thud. He let out an 'ouch'; this fall had clearly twisted his waist.
"Master Liu, are you okay? Who are you people?" At this moment, Tang Xue and Chen Yu happened to be passing by. Tang Xue hurriedly stepped forward to help Master Liu up, and she glared at the bald man.
"Yo, this girl is quite pretty." The bald man saw Tang Xue, and his eyes lit up. He walked up with a grin and said: "Let me introduce myself, I am the manager of Fulin Catering. You've heard of our company, right?"
"Never heard of it. What do you want by doing this?" Tang Xue said angrily.
"You don't know? Then let me repeat it. Starting tomorrow, close the kitchen in your institution. The hundred or so people in your orphanage will have their meals provided by our company from now on."
"Boxed meal sets, comprehensive nutrition, starting at 38 per portion, minimum order of one hundred. I see you have enough people here. If there's no problem, sign this Contract." The bald man said as he took out a contract.
"Our orphanage is a public welfare institution; we don't have that much spare money to order your meals. Besides, the things we procure ourselves are fresh and the nutrition is comprehensive, and the children eat well. The cost of one meal is less than five yuan, and you want 38? Why don't you go rob someone?" Tang Xue was furious.
"Yo, little girl, you calculate quite clearly." The bald man looked at Tang Xue with interest: "Why don't you come to our company? We happen to be missing a finance person. If you go, I, Lang Ge, won't treat you poorly."
"Excuse me, I am still a student. You leave immediately, otherwise, I will call the police." Tang Xue pointed outside.
"Hehe, don't use that to scare me. I've already taken care of everything in the vicinity. If I were afraid of you calling the police, I wouldn't have come." Lang Ge chuckled, touched his bald head, and said: "Who doesn't know that the Tang Clan is behind this orphanage?"
"As one of the Shengjing Six Great Noble Families, the Tang Clan shouldn't be short of the money for these 38-yuan boxed meals, right? You in the Tang Clan have spent so much money on charity over the years, why not let a little bit leak out so we can have some soup too?"
"Our Tang Clan is serious about charity. We have never raised a single cent from society; it all comes from the Tang Clan itself. We are doing charity, not raising parasites." Tang Xue said angrily.
"Stinking girl, keep your mouth clean. Who are you calling a parasite?" A small-time thug behind Lang Ge pointed at Tang Xue and said fiercely: "Starting tomorrow, our company will provide the meals. If you dare not agree, I'll tear down this broken orphanage of yours."
"You dare..." Tang Xue was not afraid at all.
"See if I dare or not. Girl, you have a tough mouth. Do I need to teach you a lesson first?" The small-time thug said as he reached out to make a move.
