Chapter 883 - 263: [Fellow Daoist Above] (6000)_2
Under the photographer’s lens, Lin Xiyu loosened her hair and then tied a neat and tidy ponytail. She looked as plain as could be, without any of the alluring charm of a top celebrity.
She went to the activity room, played games with a dozen children, and sang two nursery rhymes with them.
She even performed a solo dance in front of the children and taught them a few dance moves.
During this time, the photographer wanted to cause trouble, wanted to shout pause, saying a certain segment wasn’t shot well enough, and asked to redo it...
Lin Xianyu’s face instantly darkened, and she directly took the photographer outside and reprimanded him.
"I told you to just do candid shots! Can’t you understand candid? You’re shouting pause, asking to redo? Do you think this is filming a drama or a movie? If you love drama shooting so much, go back to the company and wait for them to give you a drama to shoot!
If you’re here for the candid shot, then focus on candid shots! Trying to show off?! Seeking a sense of presence?!
What’s the deal? Rarely get a chance to work with someone like me, trying to show off your skills in front of me, make an impression?
Can you work or not? If you can’t, get lost now!"
The photographer turned red from embarrassment.
Lin Xianyu is smart, and also sharp-tongued, just a few words exposed the photographer’s little thoughts!
Following this task is originally very simple, as long as the photographer minimizes his presence and captures some suitable moments.
No matter how much is shot, it’ll be edited later, just a few photos or one or two video clips will suffice.
He did, as Lin Xianyu said, see this as a rare chance to work with a big star for a day and wanted to showcase his skills and supposed "professionalism" and "artistry".
If Lin Xianyu appreciates his work, this insignificant little photographer in the company might get more opportunities because of it.
But he didn’t expect — Lin Xianyu was truly here for charity, not for a show.
The assistant seeing her employer getting angry quickly came over to smooth things over, coaxing Lin Xianyu back inside to continue interacting with the children, while pulling the photographer further away and giving him another round of scolding.
After a while, the assistant brought the photographer back to continue filming, while she herself walked to the side, whispering to Lin Xianyu who was watching the children dance.
"This fool was sent by the company temporarily, just joined not long ago, not clear-headed — ah, Sister Xianyu, today’s job was arranged at the last minute, the company has no one available now, so they temporarily pulled him in, didn’t expect him to be so troublesome. Don’t worry, next time he won’t appear in front of you!"
Chen Yan didn’t care about any of this, just moved a small stool to sit aside and watch the children sing and dance.
However, it was Shen Shiqi’s little sister, Shen Shijiu, whose body movements were most coordinated, learned the fastest, standing out most among all the children.
The interaction lasted for less than an hour, then the assistant came with a big bag of picture books brought today, Lin Xianyu distributed them to the children, then let them free to do their activities.
At this point, the donation event and interactive session came to a complete end.
After driving the photographer outside, Lin Xianyu glanced at Chen Yan, then returned to the rest room with Dean Shen.
"Dean Shen, besides the donation room brought today, I plan to make a financial donation to your orphanage."
Before Dean Shen could sit down, Lin Xianyu finished her sentence, and Dean Shen sprang up again.
"Really?"
Dean Shen’s eyes sparkled.
"Yes." Lin Xianyu seriously nodded.
Before Dean Shen could say anything, Lin Xianyu continued: "Initially I will donate five hundred thousand — this money is for improving the orphanage’s current hardware facilities.
Repair whatever needs repairing, replace whatever needs replacing.
Also, I see this house is quite old, surely there are places that leak — this money can be used to repair the hardware first.
In addition, there are now more than a dozen children here...
Estimating living expenses at a thousand per child per month... in the future, I will fix an annual donation of two hundred thousand to your orphanage to cover the children’s daily living expenses..."
"Hold on." Chen Yan interrupted.
"Ah?" Lin Xianyu was startled.
Chen Yan sighed, thought, and said, "Two hundred thousand a year isn’t enough, let’s increase it to four hundred thousand a year."
Dean Shen had been full of gratitude and excitement, was taken aback.
This... there’s even a temporary increase in money?
Chen Yan slowly said: "Now Dean Shen is the only full-time staff member in the orphanage, she’s overwhelmed. Need to hire staff to help.
Hmm, need a full-time chef in the kitchen, after all, cooking for a dozen people.
Also need two people for internal affairs and cleaning work. Otherwise, such a big house, cleaning once can be exhausting, plus washing clothes, sheets, blankets for more than a dozen people daily, someone needs to manage and clean.
Previously, all these tasks were barely supported by Dean Shen alone.
Estimate, employing three people in total, a hiring cost of two hundred thousand a year is required."
"No, we, our income level here isn’t high, wages don’t have to be that high..." Dean Shen blushed.
"The wages for cleaning and housekeeping aren’t high, but it’s best to hire a good chef." Chen Yan smiled: "That saying of yours is very true, the food in our mouths shouldn’t be careless, eating badly can lead to illness."
