The Sea Queen of 1985

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Han Xiaoqing’s Plan

Vice Director Wang’s expression turned solemn with respect. ”Mr. Han, thank you! Education in this area is truly vital, but the country is just too poor at this stage, so investment is relatively low.”

”The fact that you’ve considered this and are willing to fund the construction of such a rehabilitation facility is truly noble, truly great.”

Hearing Vice Director Wang’s praise, Han Xiaorui quickly waved her hands. ”Director Wang, I’m not as good as you say. You’re giving me too much credit! I have firsthand experience with how much a child can improve with proper intervention.”

”Our country invests little in this area right now, but I believe that investment will grow in the future. However, we need to start the research now. We can’t wait until we have the money to begin; by then, it’ll be too late.”

Vice Director Wang nodded. ”In education, nothing is a small matter. Next to the high school, there’s another plot of land in White Crane Village that can be used to build the Chunlei Kindergarten.”

”I will definitely secure these two plots of educational land for you! We’ll establish this as a pilot project, conduct more research, and promote its development.”

”When the country develops to a certain point and has the spare capacity to handle these things, we will have enough mature experience and teaching materials to train intervention doctors and teachers in this field for the whole nation.”

Han Xiaorui nodded. ”After we secure the land, let’s hold a seminar with the maternal and child health hospital and relevant experts. If we’re going to do this, let’s do it right.”

”I have a personal connection to this issue but lack the technical expertise. However, I am willing to provide the funding! I want to make sure the money is put to practical use, so I will also donate and personally oversee how the funds are spent.”

Han Xiaorui giving each Jinshan Bay villager 5,300 yuan caused a huge uproar in the district.

Not only were the surrounding residents envious, but even government officials like them were also incredibly envious.

However, it was merely envy. They had all witnessed Jinshan Bay’s development over the years.

The money didn’t just appear out of thin air; it was earned bit by bit through legitimate channels.

The Jinshan Bay Investment Company was a major taxpayer in the district.

When the tax department audited their taxes, they found that Jinshan Bay’s books were impeccable, with no tax evasion.

”Let’s both do our best!” Vice Director Wang said with a smile. He ignored Han Xiaorui’s invitation to stay for a meal and rushed back to his office to report to his superiors.

Anyone who could become a leading cadre in Shencheng was extremely reform-minded and very forward-thinking.

They were very interested in the ”Chunlei Action” that Han Xiaorui proposed.

The director personally called Han Xiaorui and asked her to write a formal report on the matter.

Han Xiaorui didn’t delay and submitted the report before the new year.

After comprehensive consideration, the district approved Han Xiaorui’s proposal.

Han Xiaorui was overjoyed that she could get this matter settled before the new year.

Han Xiaoqing only returned home from university for the New Year.

Han Xiaorui asked, ”What have you been busy with?”

Han Xiaoqing replied, ”Sis, I’ve been busy with my internship, my thesis, and preparing to go abroad!”

Han Xiaorui sighed. ”Time flies. After the new year, it’ll only be a few more months until you graduate!”

Han Xiaoqing nodded. ”Yeah, these past three-plus years at university have been so fulfilling! I feel like my mind has been enriched, and my life has become more exciting!”

Han Xiaorui smiled. ”You’ll have an even wider world ahead of you! By the way, have you arranged your internship yet?”

Han Xiaoqing replied, ”It’s all set! I’ll be with Expert Wang! I’ll intern for a few months and write my thesis at the same time. The university has a spot for studying abroad, and my professor has already given it to me!”

Han Xiaorui thought for a moment. ”Why don’t you turn down that spot? Our family has money, you can just study abroad at your own expense!”

Han Xiaoqing shook her head. ”No way! I’ve been first in my class every year, I actively participate in school activities, and I’m an officer in the student union. I’ve earned this spot, fair and square!”

”Besides, I can guarantee that if I study abroad, I will definitely come back! But the same can’t be said for my classmates! They worship everything foreign and might not return once they leave!”

”I’m studying humanities, which falls under social sciences. If I were a science major, I would give up the spot without hesitation so someone else could learn advanced science and technology from abroad.”

”Even if some students stay abroad, as our country develops, many others will be willing to come back and use the skills they’ve learned for national construction.”

Han Xiaorui was slightly taken aback by her words. ’I didn’t expect Han Xiaoqing to have such thoughts.’

”Since you have your own ideas, I respect them. But I must remind you of the saying, ’The tree that stands tallest in the forest will be the first to be blown down by the wind.’ No matter what, you must always be cautious.”

Han Xiaoqing nodded. ”I will! Cases of people poisoning others out of jealousy are not unheard of.”

”Now, I won’t eat or drink anything that has been out of my sight!”

”The university isn’t that treacherous, though. As long as I’m careful about those two things, I should be fine. I know, Sis.”

”Compared to other countries, it’s already very safe here at home! I always remember what you taught me, Sis.”

Hearing her sister’s words, Han Xiaorui smiled. ”That’s good! How are things going with you and Chen Wenxuan? Any plans to get married?”

Han Xiaoqing’s face flushed slightly. ”Chen Wenxuan actually proposed to me, but I didn’t accept. Ever since he went abroad, I only get to see him during summer break.”

”Next, I’ll be going abroad too, to Germany! We’ll spend a year getting to know each other better then. If things feel right, I’ll accept Chen Wenxuan’s proposal!”

”Besides, my master’s program isn’t that demanding, and I don’t have any financial pressure. Even if I get married, I can still get pregnant, have a child, and manage my studies.”

Seeing that her sister had a plan for her life, Han Xiaorui smiled. ”You’re an adult now with your own mature way of thinking! I respect your decision! I just want to tell you that no matter where you are or what you go through, I’ll always be your support and your safety net.”

Han Xiaoqing’s nose tingled, and she hugged Han Xiaorui. ”Thank you, Sis! Because of your help, my life has changed completely.”

”Sometimes life has its disappointments and setbacks, but whenever I think of you, Sis, all my worries seem insignificant.”

This was the confidence her sister gave her, the source of Han Xiaoqing’s calm and composed courage.

This New Year was a joyous one.

Almost all the residents of Jinshan Bay came to Han Xiaorui’s home to pay a New Year’s visit.

It was mainly because Han Xiaorui had distributed money this year, allowing everyone to have a prosperous New Year.

Some used it to buy motorcycles, some to buy houses, and some to buy large color TVs...

Precisely because the residents of Jinshan Bay had high incomes and high spending power, many high-quality shops rented space there to do business.

This, in turn, further spurred the development of Jinshan Bay, increasing the residents’ income and creating an excellent virtuous cycle.

Because of this, the young men and women of Jinshan Bay became hot commodities.
