Chapter 1518: Chapter 1516: Ensuring Peace and Safety

When Zhang Shaoting returned, Yang Chen was already drinking tea with Ye Xin.

"How is it?" Yang Chen glanced at Zhang Shaoting and asked.

Zhang Shaoting took a deep breath and clasped his fists toward Yang Chen, "I understand!"

"Really understand?"

"Really understand!"

Yang Chen nodded.

The reason he confirmed once more is because sometimes this kind of understanding is like breaking a thin layer of window paper; once it’s pierced, one understands, but if not, one feels they understand, but actually doesn’t.

The gap between understanding and truly understanding is small, but this small difference is like night and day.

"Sit down, have some tea and rest." Yang Chen said.

Earlier, he didn’t show much strength, whereas Zhang Shaoting had exhausted himself completely. When the gloves were removed, Yang Chen saw that Zhang Shaoting’s clothes were soaked through.

Zhang Shaoting sat down and drank an entire pot of tea.

After finishing the tea, Yang Chen asked, "Where is your grandfather’s burial site? I would like to pay my respects."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoting sighed and said to Yang Chen, "My grandfather spent his life in tombs, and after he passed, he firmly insisted on not being buried. He wanted his ashes scattered into the sea. His gravestone is placed in our family’s graveyard."

Yang Chen nodded, "I understand the old man’s wish."

After all, he spent his life raiding tombs; after passing, he didn’t want his tomb to be raided by others too.

"I will visit the old man’s grave tomorrow." Yang Chen said.

Even though the ashes were scattered, the gravestone remains, so it should be paid respect to. The old man was indeed very kind to him, to Chen Siyan, and to the director.

Therefore, he needs to pay his respects, especially since he has come to Ningchuan.

"I will arrange everything for your arrival!" Zhang Shaoting said respectfully.

Yang Chen nodded.

After chatting for a few moments, Zhang Shaoting got up and left.

After sending off Zhang Shaoting, Yang Chen said to Ye Xin, "Let’s go! To the orphanage!"

"Okay!" Ye Xin darted up the stairs.

Yang Chen felt frustrated; they’re about to head out, but does she need to go back to get dressed up?

Based on his understanding of women, unless she spends one or two hours on makeup, she won’t come downstairs.

However, this time Yang Chen was wrong.

Within three minutes, Ye Xin came out swiftly, only with added a shawl and a shoulder bag.

Yang Chen stared, "You didn’t put on makeup?"

"Why put on makeup? Light makeup is fine; I already did it this morning." Ye Xin responded casually.

"You aren’t going to touch it up?" Yang Chen still asked uncertainly.

Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen, "No need! I am confident in myself! Why? Do you think now I can’t go out without makeup?"

"No, no! Absolutely not!" Yang Chen’s strong survival instinct kicked in, "I think you are too beautiful, like the dazzling moon in the sky, like the vast sea of stars, your beauty is like the clear sky..."

"Alright, alright!" Ye Xin interrupted Yang Chen, "Where did you get such cheesy lines? I don’t want to hear them!"

Yang Chen knew he had successfully passed this hurdle, laughing cheekily as he approached, "Honey, let’s go out!"

"Who is your honey?" Ye Xin shot him a look, "We haven’t had a wedding, so don’t call me that!"

Yang Chen was left speechless and had nothing to say.

He clicked his tongue, picked up the keys, and followed Ye Xin, "I’ll drive."

Ye Xin coldly replied, "Of course you drive. Are you expecting me to drive wearing a dress?"

"Uh!" Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin’s lotus dress and knew it was better not to say anything more at this point.

Finally getting Ye Xin into the car, Yang Chen drove her to the orphanage.

The orphanage was currently receiving strong support from Ningchuan and had become a renowned charitable institution.

Of course, the institution doesn’t accept external charity projects because the funds provided by Shangdong Group are already sufficient for their needs; there is no need to accept external charity institution funding.

They adhere to the director’s principle that charity is pure charity, purely for the benefit of the children, to provide them with a good life, a good educational environment, and a good growth environment, rather than to obtain charity funds and perform various shows and plays. This is not what the director needs.

Currently, the entire orphanage is independently established and operated by Shangdong Group and is entirely managed by the director, so things are very good now, and no one wants to change it.

Even if approached by others, they are all refused.

Yang Chen parked the car in the parking lot and then got out with Ye Xin.

At the entrance, Yang Chen and Ye Xin were stopped by a security guard.

"Hello! May I ask what your business is here?" the security guard asked.

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "I’m just going in for a look."

The security guard seriously asked, "May I ask your purpose inside? If it’s for an interview, did you make an appointment by phone in advance and obtain permission? Or are you here for charity? If so, please leave! Our institute has stable charitable funds and doesn’t need any external charitable support! If you are here to adopt a child, please register over there!"

Yang Chen’s expression became all sorts of colorful as he listened.

Looking at this security guard, he could sense a bit of the manner of a guard and couldn’t help but ask, "Who is your instructor?"

"Sorry, can’t tell!"

"Could it be Set who taught you?" Yang Chen chuckled and stared at the security guard.

The security guard was astonished and looked at Yang Chen, "How do you know?"

"Because he was trained by me!" Yang Chen said.

The security guard widened his eyes in disbelief.

Yang Chen chuckled, "I didn’t deceive you, I’m here to see the director, let me make a call first."

Saying that, Yang Chen took out his phone and called the director.

"Hello, director, I’m at the entrance, the security won’t let me in, could you tell them something?" Yang Chen said.

After speaking, Yang Chen handed the phone to the security guard.

After listening, the security guard respectfully returned the phone to Yang Chen and respectfully said, "Please come in! I’m sorry, I really didn’t know earlier..."

"It’s okay, brother!" Yang Chen smiled and patted the security guard’s shoulder and said, "You did nothing wrong! You did everything right! As a security guard, keeping the area safe! You should know, there are children in there! If you let anyone in without checking, if one turns out to be a bad person, the consequences would be unimaginable! You did the right thing, strictly adhering to your duty, ensuring the safety of the students and not letting any bad people in! Very good!"

The security guard was very touched and saluted Yang Chen.

Yang Chen saluted back and then entered the orphanage with Ye Xin.

Once inside, Yang Chen saw many familiar faces, the children from the old broken orphanage had all moved here and now shouldered the responsibility of taking care of and managing other children, doing a wonderful job.

It seemed someone recognized Yang Chen and Ye Xin, as they immediately cheered and surrounded them.
