Chapter 14: Ten Shops in Hand

k what was up, Zhou Hao spoke first."Brother Cheng Yu! Where are you Yi Chen, is Yi Chen not beside you How is the situation Did you find the little fairy Is everything alright"A barrage of questions..."Miss Ruan, the Housing Administration Bureau has arrived. Please wait here for a moment and call me when you come out, I'll come pick you up." Wu Wei said as he opened the car door for Ruan Rou.

Ruan softened gave him a glance, smiled and nodded, not bad! Really good! As he walked towards the Housing Management Bureau, he took out his phone and transferred 2000 yuan to him, with a note saying, "Tip for your work today."

She certainly knew that people didn't have the obligation to drive her around. She didn't even know how long she would be delayed here, and it wouldn't be good for them to wait too long.

Wu Wei looked at the money Ms. Ruan had transferred to him and didn't refuse too much. He accepted it. If he were to be more polite, Ms. Ruan might think he thought 2000 yuan was too little. In that case, he would have embarrassed himself in front of Ms. Ruan for nothing.

Besides, 2000 isn't a small sum either. That's half of his monthly salary! After receiving the money, he drove his car to the underground parking lot of the nearby shopping mall and happily began his paid leisure activities.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, Ruan Rou could feel the gazes on her. However, after these few days, she had already gotten used to it.

"Hello, my surname is Nguyen. Could you please tell me where I can get the property deed"

Seeing the staff around him seemed to have something to do, he walked up to the counter and asked.

The staff members around her originally just thought this beautiful girl, who looked like an ethereal fairy, had come to look for her parents, after all she didn't look very old.

But when he heard her say her last name was阮, the staff member who had been asking him questions widened his eyes in astonishment. An hour ago, a woman named阮軟 had bought ten storefronts all at once, paying in full, on the most expensive properties in M city. Couldn't it be her!

The staff, somewhat incredulous, still uttered in a disbelief-filled voice, "The property deed has to be picked up by the owner personally! Is this young lady here to pick it up for her mother"

Ruan Ruan smiled slightly and said in a flat tone, "It's me."

"Oh oh, oh oh, ah~ Sorry, sorry, Miss Ruan, this way please." The staff member heard this and their heart skipped a beat. They realized they had underestimated the person and hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, I am indeed quite intimidating,". At that moment, Ruan Rou, led by the staff, entered a small house.

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll have someone bring you the property deed." The staff member said as they pulled out a bottle of mineral water and placed it in front of Ruan Rou.

After finishing all these things, he gently closed the door and quickly walked outside to inform his colleagues to bring out the property certificates they had prepared earlier. He himself went to the leader's office to notify him.

Soon, a man in a dark jacket came in with two assistants.

"Hello, hello, Ms. Ruan. My name is Geng Li, the assistant to the Deputy Director of the Housing Administration Bureau. You can call me Xiao Geng. The Deputy Director was originally supposed to greet you, but unfortunately, he went on a business trip yesterday and won't be back until tomorrow. So I was sent to receive you instead."

When Ruan Ruǎn saw someone enter, she looked toward the door. Hearing the other person's introduction, she was filled with bewilderment. Could it be I just came to pick up a property certificate, how could this possibly cause such a stir

Although my heart was filled with confusion, I still appeared calm and collected on the surface. I stood up and shook his hand, saying, "Hello, hello. What can I do for you"

“Actually, it's nothing serious. We just want to understand what you plan to do with these ten stores, because as you know, these ten shops are located in the busiest commercial district of our city m. Of course, we don't intend to interfere with your decisions, we just want to get a better understanding.”

When Ruan Ruǎn heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, she pondered for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "As for these ten stores, we also only have a rough plan for the time being. If you have any plans on your side, you can show them to me too."

Gen Li's smile became even brighter. After saying a few words, he added Ruan Soft's contact information and sent her out the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the small room, Ruan Rou could feel the gazes fixed on her and the hushed whispers circulating around her.

But she didn't care, ten sets of outfits! Anyone would be talked about if they wore them. Besides, she barely felt any malice.

Ruan softened sat down in the hall and sent Wu Wei a message, waiting for him to come.

In a few minutes, Ruan Ran, facing the gazes of everyone, got into the car and headed to the orphanage.

"Miss Ruan, how come you're going to such a remote place Aren't you afraid of being scammed" Wu Wei, who was driving, looked at the destination and said.

"No, there's an orphanage there, I was going to visit the orphanage."

Wu Wei's face showed surprise, "Orphanage There's still an orphanage there I've lived in City M for so many years and haven't heard of it. Miss Ruan is indeed kind and thoughtful."

Ruan softened her hair, a smile on her face, her voice tinged with a hint of nostalgia. "That's where I grew up," she said.

Wu Wei was even more surprised. He was astonished that Miss Ruan had been an orphan since childhood, and he was shocked that, despite being an orphan from a young age, Miss Ruan had achieved so much at such a young age. He dared not underestimate her any longer.

After what seemed like forever, the journey had taken them from the smooth asphalt road to a bumpy dirt path. Wu Wei couldn't have been more grateful for his choice of a four-wheel drive vehicle when he applied for it. Finally, after all the bumps and jolts, they arrived at the orphanage entrance as Soft had described.

The mottled walls, the rusty iron gate with faded colorful lettering above it, the once vibrant colors now muted and blended into the rounded wooden plaque behind. If you look closely, you can still make out the inscription: "Sunshine Orphanage."

"Miss Ruan, would you like me to accompany you inside" Wu Wei looked at the dilapidated orphanage in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable. Looking at the bright girl walking ahead, he opened his mouth and asked.

"It's getting late, you should drive the car back to the shop and get off work. I still have a while left here." Ruan Rou turned her head and said to Wu Wei.

Wu Wei nodded and then drove away in this car.

"Aunt Su! Aunt Su! I'm back!" Ruan Rou cried out loudly the moment she stepped into the biggest house.

“Here it is, here it is!” After a while, the voice of a middle-aged woman came from upstairs. It was followed by a gentle urging, “Hurry up, hurry up, go and see who’s here!” Then there was a sound of footsteps and some children's giggles.

"Soft soft sister!"

"It's the soft sister back!"

"I really want a soft sister!"

"... "

"

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

The sound grew closer and closer. Ruan softened her hands, ready to embrace them. In the next second, a group of little ones rushed toward her, pouncing into her arms. They called out "Sister, sister" one after another, their voices sweet as honey.be absolutely unthinkable on a normal day.One textbook after another was thrown into the bonfire by the children.
