"Good day, Director Fang! Good day, Madam!..."
As they walked into the inner room of the milk tea shop and passed through a corridor, two rows of waiters in exquisite dark - red uniforms bowed respectfully and greeted the two of them.
Fang Siyan just nodded slightly and tightly held Ding Ruola's hand as he led her up to the second floor.
Ding Ruola had a complex look on her face and let Fang Siyan pull her along. "…?"
Wouldn't anyone drive them out?
"What would you like to drink? What would you like to eat? Order whatever you want. Sitting in this milk tea shop, you can even get the takoyaki from the East City of the snack street."
Fang Siyan took off his coat and sat down. With a gentle smile on his lips, he winked at his little wife.
The private room on the second floor was extremely delicate, with the slightly yellowish light, glistening jewelry decorations, and elegant floral wallpaper.
"Director Fang." A young lady in an orange uniform walked up to the table, bowed respectfully, and handed them a drink menu. She also brought a floor plan of the whole snack street.
Ding Ruola casually ordered a cup of her usual milk tea. Looking at the floor plan of the entire snack city and the thick stack of menus from various stores, she was completely dazed.
She wondered who she was, where she was, and what she was doing...
It took her a long time to find her voice. "Director Fang? Lao Fang?..."
"Yes, I'm here..." Fang Siyan looked at Ding Ruola with a smile. "The entire commercial street belongs to Fangyuan Group. It's all yours, including all the snack bars on this street."
"Puff, cough, cough..." Ding Ruola had just taken a sip of the milk tea she ordered, trying to clear her mind, but unexpectedly choked.
"Has Fangyuan Group become so powerful now?" Ding Ruola had a complex look on her face. Was the entire commercial street that ran through the whole capital city really owned by Fangyuan Group?!!
"Yes, Fangyuan Group is quite well - developed in all aspects now. Although I don't often help in the company, I do manage it occasionally. It's no problem to invite you to have some free milk tea and snacks."
Fang Siyan joked about himself with a smile. He took a sip of the green tea, straightened his expression, and continued, "Now, on one hand, I'm a professor at school. On the other hand, I'm running a charity foundation..."
"… A charity foundation?" Ding Ruola was instantly stunned.
She stared blankly at Fang Siyan, not knowing what to say.
"Yes. After we finish drinking, shall I take you to have a look?" Fang Siyan looked at Ding Ruola tenderly and reached out to tuck the bangs on top of her head behind her ear.
Ding Ruola: "…"
"I'm telling you all this because I don't want to keep anything from you. I didn't mention it before because I thought I could live a simple life with you and gain simple happiness. I thought there was no need to tell you these things, but later, I figured it out."
Ding Ruola still looked blank. "… Um?"
Fang Siyan placed his hand on Ding Ruola's. His eyes were full of affection. "We're husband and wife. I should have no secrets from you..."
Ding Ruola: "…"
Puff, cough, cough. She'd rather not have known!
At this moment, Ding Ruola was feeling a mix of emotions. While she was overjoyed that her husband was a rich man, she also felt a great deal of pressure!
Ding Ruola suddenly remembered what Mrs. Gu had said that seemed so strange at the time.
She suddenly wondered if she should tell Fang Siyan about Mrs. Gu.
But what exactly the cooperation with Mrs. Gu would entail and what they would face, Mrs. Gu hadn't told her yet!
Forget it!
Ding Ruola looked very conflicted. After some thought, she decided not to tell Fang Siyan for the time being.
On the large balcony on the second floor of the milk tea shop, a transparent straight - type elevator led directly to the 37th - floor rooftop.
Standing in the elevator, the night view of the entire capital city was in full view. The higher they went, the more they could see.
The boundless twilight enveloped the lights of thousands of families. The twinkling lights illuminated the slightly cool early - autumn night and echoed with the stars in the sky, creating a unique style.
Ding Ruola looked through the transparent floor under her feet at the tiny lives that were instantly beneath her. An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
She looked at the familiar yet strange face of the man beside her and unconsciously tightened her hold on Fang Siyan's arm.
She was a bit nervous, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.
Thinking that Fang Siyan was running a charity foundation, Ding Ruola couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.
Most charity foundations use the private funds of their sponsors to do charitable work. For example, they donate money and build schools for children in mountainous areas, and donate rescue funds and supplies to areas hit by earthquakes, floods, mudslides, etc. These charity foundations are always at the forefront.
Ding Ruola suddenly understood why Fang Siyan, a mere university professor, was always so busy. And at that time, she had been complaining all day that the man had no time to accompany her...
The tower is so high that one seems to be able to pick the stars with a stretch of the hand.
The elevator stopped at the top floor of the building.
The entire foundation was simple and elegant. There was nothing but white tiles and normal lighting fixtures, which was not in proportion to the prosperity of the whole commercial street.
Who would have thought that on the highest floor in the bustling commercial street, there was a seemingly small and unremarkable charity foundation that did things that shocked the whole country and warmed people's hearts?
As they entered, the blue words "Clear Sky Charity Foundation" on the wall were particularly eye - catching. Ding Ruola's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Ding Ruola stood at the door, looking at the people inside. Afraid of disturbing their work, she didn't dare to go in.
The people in the studio were wearing simple white shirts and black pants, working tirelessly among stacks of documents that were taller than their heads.
All of a sudden, Ding Ruola saw someone in the room who she usually only saw on TV. She was instantly flustered!
She quickly looked at Fang Siyan, as if she wanted to stare a hole through him. "…!!!"
Was this the world of the big shots? Was this the real upper - class society? She had originally thought that Fang Siyan was just one of the potential heirs of Fangyuan Group.
Unexpectedly, he controlled the entire commercial street and was also running a charity foundation!
Seeing his little wife in a daze, with her head down looking at her hands and seemingly lost in thought, Fang Siyan tightened his hold on her hand and said very softly, "Ruoruo?..."
Ding Ruola looked at Fang Siyan with a complex expression, and her eyes were full of admiration!
"Lao Fang! You're so amazing!" Ding Ruola threw her arms around Fang Siyan and buried her head in his chest. She couldn't say a word for a long time.
After they went downstairs, Ding Ruola "casually" ate something. The more she ate, the greater the pressure she felt!
Ding Ruola was holding a bunch of candied haws in her left hand and a box of stinky tofu in her right hand.
As she took a bite of a haw on the candied haws, she secretly glanced at Fang Siyan. She just felt that this man had suddenly become so tall and amazing!
Obviously, his attitude towards her was still as gentle and considerate as before, but why did she feel that the man had become much more unfamiliar?…
