From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou was also stunned in the courtyard.

He had only heard Liu Ruyan mention the job of the orphanage director, but he never expected that Ye Churan would be here.

Feng Qianyi closed the shopping list and glanced back and forth between the two men.

"How long have you known each other?"

As soon as Feng Qianyi finished asking her question, Ye Churan had already walked up to the two of them.

She glanced at Lu Yunzhou first before explaining their relationship to Feng Qianyi.

When Lu Yunzhou was in college, he lived downstairs from her, and she helped him a few times.

Later, when Lu Yunzhou joined the army, the two maintained contact.

As for the job at the welfare home, it was Liu Ruyan who made the connection.

Ye Churan resigned from her part-time administrative position at the school and took a long leave of absence to officially take over the Qiguang Children's Welfare Institute.

The burden of caring for the children, rehabilitation courses, donation registration, and volunteer arrangements rested entirely on her shoulders.

"Teacher Ye has helped me a lot in the past."

Lu Yunzhou added a sentence.

Feng Qianyi closed the shopping list: "No wonder we were so close when we met."

She spoke calmly, but her gaze lingered on the two people's faces for a few seconds.

Lu Yunzhou understood the implication in their words, so he decided to help the workers move the equipment.

Feng Qianyi stared at his back, tapping the list twice with her pen.

Ye Churan took in this scene, her gaze lingering for a moment, but she didn't ask any questions. She simply pursed her lips and followed behind towards the cafeteria.

Lunch was arranged in the welfare home's canteen.

The cafeteria was small, with children's watercolor paintings on the walls, the colors bright and the edges already curled up a bit.

Several long tables were pushed together, their surfaces wiped clean, and set with uniform stainless steel plates.

The children sat separately according to age, with the older ones taking care of the younger ones and the younger ones sitting next to each other, chattering and making a ruckus.

Children with mobility issues are placed near the aisle, and their wheelchairs are parked neatly so that teachers can easily take care of them.

Today's meal was simple: scrambled eggs with tomatoes were juicy and flavorful, braised potatoes were stewed until soft and tender, and there was a large bowl of winter melon and pork rib soup, steaming hot with white mist rising from it.

Lu Yunzhou and Feng Qianyi didn't go to the separate small restaurant; they sat down directly among the children.

Feng Qianyi accepted the plate from the teacher with natural movements, showing no sign of reluctance.

The little girl who had asked Lu Yunzhou earlier if he could cure her leg squeezed next to him and kept protecting the chicken leg in her bowl with her arm while eating.

Lu Yunzhou assumed she was reluctant to eat, so he casually asked her.

The girl looked down at the chicken leg: "I'm saving it for my mom. She hasn't come to see me for two months, so she can eat it when she comes."

The teacher next to her stopped eating.

The child's mother works in another province and hasn't returned for six months.

The so-called two months was just a number of days the teacher told her to keep quiet.

Lu Yunzhou felt a lump in his throat.

The girl was still carefully considering her options.

Mom eats the chicken leg, and she just drinks the soup.

Once she could run again, she went to the station to pick up her mother.

Feng Qianyi's spoon touched the rim of the bowl.

She lowered her head and drank a few sips of soup, but didn't touch her rice.

The boy across from her put some ribs from his bowl into her bowl and told her that eating more meat would help her grow taller.

Feng Qianyi returned the ribs and wiped the soup off his clothes.

She was adopted by Old Madam Feng when she was young, and she knows all too well what it's like to wait for family.

Lu Yunzhou looked at her lowered gaze, and felt a tightness in his chest.

After the meal, several children surrounded Lu Yunzhou, wanting him to check their orthodontic devices.

He looked at them one by one and found that two of the protective gear were too small, and the brakes on one of the wheelchairs were loose.

All the problems were noted on the purchase list, and the installers had to redo the work on the spot.

At 2 p.m., Feng Qianyi prepared to return to the group.

Lu Yunzhou did not get on the car.

He promised to train a few children, but he left today, and now they have to wait for the therapist to schedule an appointment.

Feng Qianyi stood by the car door, but didn't urge them.

"You can stay if you want; I have another job for you."

Lu Yunzhou assumed it was about the group again, but when he took the address she handed him, he realized it was the Feng family's old residence.

After being discharged from the hospital, Grandma Feng's physical health recovered well, but her spirits did not keep up.

Her two sons argued in the hospital room over shares, but she didn't mention it and couldn't sleep well at night.

The caregiver's presence was useless; when relatives came over, she complained about the noise.

Lu Yunzhou saved the old lady's life.

Only when she sees him will the old lady eat half a bowl more rice and be willing to go downstairs for a walk.

Feng Qianyi hoped that he could take some time to accompany the old lady for rehabilitation, walks, and chat with her for a while.

"Thirty thousand a day."

Feng Qianyi gave a price.

Lu Yunzhou shoved the address back into her hand: "Giving 30,000 yuan just to talk to an old person? You have so much money you don't know what to do with it?"

"This is both caring for the elderly and providing medical treatment."

Feng Qianyi didn't answer the address. "Grandma's happiness is worth more than 30,000."

Lu Yunzhou wanted to refuse, but the scene of the Feng family fighting for power outside the ward flashed through his mind.

The old lady raised Feng Qianyi and supported the entire Feng family.

As I get older, I'm surrounded by a group of people scheming over shares, and I can't even have a peaceful meal.

This money is too hot to handle, but the matter can't be ignored.

"I'll go whenever I have time, and I'll be paid the normal rate for caregivers."

Feng Qianyi opened the car door: "Thirty thousand, no less, no discussion."

The car doors closed, and the van drove out of the courtyard gate.

Lu Yunzhou held the address and remained silent for a long time.

One party is afraid of paying too little, while the other is afraid of receiving too much; this business deal is quite strange.

When the rehabilitation training ended, the children all went for their afternoon nap.

Ye Churan's office is still piled with donation lists.

After checking the last box of milk powder, she raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck a few times.

When Lu Yunzhou entered, she was about to take down a form.

"Take a break first."

He took the form away and placed a glass of warm water on the table.

Ye Churan looked up at him, her temporary work permit still on her chest.

The words "President's Assistant" are clearly printed.

She asked Lu Yunzhou how he got into Fengming Group.

Lu Yunzhou didn't dare mention getting a marriage certificate.

The fewer people who know about that arranged marriage, the safer it is.

He only said that Fengming Group hired him as a special assistant to handle emergencies and occasionally accompany Feng Qianyi on outings.

Ye Churan nodded, her worry lessening considerably.

"President Feng values ​​you, so just do your job well and don't get into fights."

Lu Yunzhou pulled over a chair, gesturing for her to turn her back: "Your shoulders are so sore, and you're still worrying about me."

Ye Churan hesitated for a moment, but still sat down.

Her long hair was gathered to one side, revealing the back of her snow-white neck outside her collar.

Lu Yunzhou looked away and placed his palm on the acupoints on her neck and shoulders.

As soon as the force was applied, Ye Churan straightened her back.

She bit her lower lip, and only relaxed after a while.

The soreness and tightness in my shoulders and neck were gradually relieved by the massage.

She leaned back in her chair, and her breathing became easier.

"When did you learn this?"

"I studied under an old military doctor when I was in the army."

Ye Churan closed her eyes, her voice tinged with sleepiness: "Whoever marries you will be so lucky. They'll be waited on hand and foot every day, and won't have to spend a penny."

Lu Yunzhou paused for a moment.

The sound of a child turning over and hitting the bed rails could be heard from outside the window.

The only thing moving in the office was the clock on the wall.

Ye Churan realized that her words had gone too far, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and she was about to change the subject when Lu Yunzhou's voice came from behind her.

"If you're willing, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."
