Chapter 135 Gu Anning——Fu Ziyan’s number one fan
Fu Ziyan had no idea that Guan Zaizhou envied her. At that moment, she was dragging Gu An Ning shopping in the mall.
The two of them didn't go to the luxury brand stores on the fifth and sixth floors, but instead went to the stationery store on the second floor. After all, school was about to start tomorrow, and naturally, stationery was a must-buy item when shopping before school started.
In fact, the housekeeper Uncle Tan had already prepared all the items Fu Ziyan needed for school, but since she had the free time, it would be more interesting to drag her friends to the stationery store to pick out some supplies before school started.
This stationery store occupies two storefronts and has a wide variety of stationery, including notebooks and pens printed with cartoon characters, landscape pictures, etc., which attract a large number of children who come to buy stationery.
As school starts, stationery stores are probably the most attractive places for minors besides toy stores.
"There are so many people!" Gu Anning sighed, "Should we change stores first?"
Fu Ziyan shook her head. "I think the stationery store will be packed today. I'll just wander around. It's a rare opportunity to shop in such a crowded place. It's quite novel to think about it."
Although it was a bit crowded, Fu Ziyan felt the long-lost atmosphere of shopping in a stationery store.
In my previous life, the stationery store before school started was always crowded, and if you wanted to go out and pay, you had to keep saying "make way".
This time it naturally won’t be as crowded as in the previous life.
After all, with bodyguards protecting her, other customers couldn't get close to Fu Ziyan. Furthermore, although Miss Fu didn't want to clear the mall, the staff wouldn't let waves of customers pour in. Seeing that the stationery store was crowded, they put up a "No Admission" sign outside to control the flow of people.
But relatively speaking, it was close. Since Fu Ziyan came to Hong Kong at the age of eight, she hadn't been to a store with such a high flow of people.
Fu Ziyan didn't mind the crowds, so Gu Anning naturally had no objections. Just like Yanyan said, it was a rare occasion, and it was indeed novel.
So, the two noble young ladies were smiling and choosing stationery for school in front of the shelves with huge customer traffic.
"Yan Yan, this pen works so smoothly, would you like to try it?"
"Wow, it's true! I bought it!"
"This notebook cover is so ugly! But it's so cheap, you can buy five for one dollar."
Fu Ziyan peeked in curiously. She wasn't impressed by the cover, but the price was really cheap. "Meng Tiao, ask the boss how many of these notebooks are left in the warehouse. I want them all."
Gu An Ning was stunned. "Ah? Yan Yan, why did you buy this book when it's so ugly?"
Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "The children in the welfare home I support can use it."
Gu Anning's eyes were full of stars. "Yan Yan, you're so kind. Oh, by the way, I just saw a ballpoint pen that's cheap and very smooth to use." As she spoke, she turned around to pick up the ballpoint pen she mentioned and handed it to Fu Ziyan, "This is it!"
Fu Ziyan took the ballpoint pen from Gu Anning's hand and swiped it across a blank page. It was indeed very smooth. After Meng Tiao came back, she ordered, "This ballpoint pen that writes smoothly is also free."
Gu An Ning pulled Fu Ziyan to continue choosing beautiful stationery. This was also a big thing they had in common - they preferred stationery that looked beautiful, and would not accept ugly ones no matter how useful they were.
While strolling around, Gu An Ning suddenly stopped and asked in confusion, "It suddenly occurred to me that the welfare home you sponsored should have cooperated with a stationery manufacturer for so many years, right?"
Fu Ziyan chuckled and looked at her silly and cute deskmate who was slow to react. "We haven't talked about this topic for such a long time, why did you think of it just now?"
Gu An Ning pursed her lips and looked at Fu Ziyan steadily.
Fu Ziyan curled her lips and said lightly, "What the welfare home ordered is routine, and what I bought is a token of my appreciation."
"Then I'll also contribute a little. But I don't have as much pocket money as you, so I'll just buy some colorful cardboard for the children." Gu An Ning's eyes sparkled.
"They are all thoughtful things, so the size doesn't matter. If you want to go, we can go to the welfare home after we finish shopping." Facing Gu An Ning's bright eyes, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but rub her soft cheek.
So soft!
Gu An Ning didn't care at all. She was already used to Yan Yan pinching her anytime and anywhere. She was concerned about Yan Yan's suggestion, "Are we going later? You didn't even prepare any cookies or snacks in advance!"
"Knowledge is the ladder of human progress. We brought so many stationery, which are tools for their learning and progress, or spiritual food. Now that they have spiritual food, don't mind whether there are biscuits or snacks." Fu Ziyan righteously fooled Gu An Ning.
Finally, he asked a concluding question, "Just tell me, are you going or not?"
Gu An Ning said firmly, "Go!"
Having made their decision, the two quickly bought the remaining stationery they liked and, carrying their "heartfelt gifts," boarded the "Zi Yan" boat across the river. As soon as they got off the yacht, they took a car to the Yanxin Orphanage in Kowloon.
"This is the orphanage I started donating to when I was nine years old. Apart from the initial donation of 300,000 yuan, each year since then has been 100,000 yuan." Fu Ziyan smiled at this. "Although the original purpose was indeed charity, I later donated in the name of the company, which just happened to offset some taxes."
Gu An Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "After all, you made the donation, so using it in the company's name kills two birds with one stone. Hehe, it's the real-life example of good people getting good rewards."
Fu Ziyan smiled, but it wasn't just that.
She initially donated to the orphanage in the name of her adoptive parents, hoping to do good deeds for them. Later, she discovered that the media had noticed and reported on the matter. While this was a good thing, it would only add to the controversy. Since the person was already dead, it was better to avoid any further fuss. So, she decided to donate in the name of her company.
As for accumulating merit for her adoptive parents, she should wait until the mainland reforms and open up, and then donate money to build bridges and roads in her adoptive parents' hometown.
Gu An Ning didn’t know what Fu Ziyan was thinking. Her heart and eyes were full of admiration. Woohoo, she was indeed her good friend Yanyan. She was so kind and had been sponsoring this small orphanage for six years!
Gu Anning - as a big fan of Fu Ziyan, he has always been at the top of Fu Ziyan's fan list for many years and has remained standing.
Facing Gu Anning's sparkling eyes, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but smile and continued to introduce, "The manager of this orphanage is a good person and has brought up these children well. No ungrateful people have appeared yet, which is why I have been supporting it for the past few years. If Ningning also wants to do charity to donate to orphans, she can consider this place."
The most frustrating thing for people who do charity is to fund someone who is ungrateful.
Gu An Ning nodded. "My mother said that after I graduate, I can participate in the management of my family's charity fund, and then I can provide financial support. I can't do that now because my pocket money is too little."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the door of the orphanage.
