Chapter 570 - 553: The Shocked Zong Shimeng
Lu Jiaxin took a car back to the provincial city and then bought a plane ticket to the Forty-nine City. Having returned to the Mainland, she certainly needed to visit Auntie. While she trusted Aunt Mei and Xing Ziyang, her presence would ensure that the hired helpers didn’t dare to slack off.
That evening, Jiaxin called Nie Zhan and spoke about her mountain climbing experience and the events she encountered when she returned to her hometown: "Let Big Uncle Lu first calculate how much it would cost to build a school, and then we’ll decide how many schools to build."
The elementary and middle schools in the Lu Family’s hometown township were definitely the first to be built. As for the others, it would depend on the situation! Her current decision was to initially fund the construction of twenty elementary schools, with the possibility of adding more later on.
Nie Zhan found this action very meaningful, "This isn’t something you can leave to your big uncle. After all, he’s getting on in years. It’s better to leave it to professionals."
Lu Jiaxin said, "The situation in the Mainland is quite complex; professionals from Hong Kong might not be able to get things done here as they wish. I’ve already spoken to Big Uncle Lu about choosing two people to manage the project. They must be virtuous and compassionate. Also, I will send someone to audit the accounts later."
She let Big Uncle Lu communicate with the county about building the schools, but there had to be a detailed accounting of the money she donated. She would send someone to check the books, as she didn’t want her hard-earned money to end up lining the pockets of some corrupt officials.
After Nie Zhan agreed, he added, "My sister-in-law is also in the Forty-nine City. She went there yesterday. You can look her up when you arrive in the Forty-nine City."
Previously, Jiaxin had recommended a good doctor to Zong Shimeng. Shimeng had three children and managed all household affairs; she couldn’t just up and leave. Now that she had put her household and three children in order, she finally made the trip.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin immediately said, "Call him right now and ask which hotel Sister Shimeng is staying at and what’s the phone number of the hotel."
"Okay."
