Chapter 399: – Promotional Video?
The room only had one wooden chair. The director didn't waste any ti and, with slightly unsteady steps, placed the chair right behind Lin Jin.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin had always felt deep respect, or awe, for old people like the director. Even though he was already in his eighties, he was still dedicated to charity work and running this welfare institute. It was said that the old man didn't have much money left, and with little governnt support and low number of donations, the director was now pretty much subsidizing the entire welfare institute with his own money.
Even though the children here didn’t seem to be well off, Lin Jin still respected people like him.
"Have a seat" The director simply sat down on the table. Seeing Lin Jin’s confused expression, he gave Lin Jin a kind smile and said "You're that crossdressing strear, right?"
What kind of twist was this?
Lin Jin was completely stunned.
Did this an that this eight sothing year old director had actually watched her live streams?
"Even though I'm old, I can't let you young folks leave
behind, right? So I occasionally watch so live streams" the director said with a cheerful laugh. "I watched when you first started streaming, but then it switched to a guy, and I stopped watching."
Okay, he was actually a dirty old man? Or maybe an old pervert?
The corner of Lin Jin’s mouth twitched, and any respect she had for the old man vanished imdiately.
"Did you need
for sothing?" Lin Jin shrugged. She was initially a bit tense, but the old man’s words just now had left her speechless, but also made her feel slightly more relaxed. "I used to be a strear, but I was just a small one. There weren’t even a few thousand viewers. Now, I'm just a video creator, and even fewer people watch my videos."
"I know. I follow your Weibo" The director nodded and got straight to the point "I want you to help promote my welfare institute."
Promote the welfare institute?
Lin Jin had considered this idea before, but she had decided to shelve it for the ti being. After all, there were a lot of negative reports about the Love Welfare Institute. Although several people she had asked all said that those were things of the past, Lin Jin hadn’t been able to investigate deep enough to be sure.
If she helped bring in donations and sponsorships, but the money would end up being embezzled, then of course Lin Jin would not want to be a part of that.
"Actually, we’re already recording sothing like that. You might’ve seen yesterday that we had a photographer specially recording things" Lin Jin thought that she should make so more in depth inquiries to the director. From the perspective of the children, the director seems to be a really prestigious individual. When the negative reports ca out, he had been mostly in the hospital and was unable to manage things. It seed like he could easily dodge the bla for all the bad press.
"That’s sothing more like a docuntary" the director had seen on Lin Jin’s Weibo that she was going to make a short video. "But what I hope for is a promotional video. As you know, my welfare institute is barely hanging on. Now, all the expenses of the welfare institute are covered by the money I made when I was young. Although we still get so donations, it’s just like a drop in the bucket."
"Well... to be honest, I really like the children at the welfare institute" Lin Jin frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable with this kind of conversation "But there’s too much negative reports about the place."
"Like the news from two months ago?"
"Yeah, the reports of abuse, embezzlent, and terrible food" Lin Jin nodded.
The director's face showed a helpless expression as he spoke in a deep tone: "There's nothing I can do... This welfare institute used to be quite good. Although it wasn't the best in Xian, it was at least in the top three. Every day, there would be an endless stream of volunteers."
"Oh" Lin Jin wasn’t interested in this.
"At that ti, every child had at least thirty yuan guaranteed for food each day, with at at every al. We had two doctors permanently stationed here, providing rehabilitation for the ntally challenged children as well as treating minor illnesses like colds. Every month, a large hospital would be invited to conduct a physical examination for the children." The director shook his head helplessly. "But that was because I was here."
Lin Jin finally showed so curiosity.
"Five years ago, when I fell ill for the first ti, the welfare institute imdiately fell into chaos."
And then?
Lin Jin continued to curiously look at him.
"And then the welfare institute ended up like this. No one wants to donate to a place accused of abusing children."
That’s it?
Lin Jin couldn’t help but wonder if there would be so sort of dramatic plot like in novels, where soone powerful returns to take charge and revitalize the welfare institute, or a talented young family mber steps in to bring about sweeping reforms...
But if there was such a thing, the welfare institute wouldn’t be in a half dead state like now.
"So?"
Lin Jin wasn’t moved at all. Although she had impulsively thought about donating to the welfare institute or helping with its promotion before, now that she was calr, she was more interested in getting a good look at how deep the waters of the welfare institute really were and whether it was black or white.
Plus, the incident yesterday where she was kicked out at six in the evening had made her even more suspicious of the welfare institute.
Seeing that Lin JIn was unconvinced, the director helplessly sighed and shook his head from his seat on the table.
"I know my welfare institute has a lot of negative press, but for the sake of the children…"
"Even though my promotional video might not get many views, I still care a lot about where the donations go" Lin Jin shrugged, clearly not willing to budge. "What if soone just pockets the money?"
Lin Jin didn’t really want to waste any more ti here. Even though she had t with the director, it felt like he was just passing the bla with everything he said.
"I still have sothing to do" So Lin Jin politely hinted that she wanted to leave.
"Please, go ahead" the director responded.
After finally stepping out of the office, Lin Jin stretched and ran to check on Qiu Yufei. She discovered that Qiu Yufei really was a good child who dread of dancing, she was actually still practicing the ligant stretches according to Teacher Lin Jin, torturing herself.
Well, to Lin Jin, ligant stretches were not much different from self torture.
But while self torture had no rewards, ligant stretches did. Even if one didn’t end up dancing, it would still improve the posture.
"Keep it up!" Lin Jin nodded and gave her a lollipop as encouragent. Then, she leisurely walked to the room on the second floor.
Wu Min was currently taking care of a blind child, while Zhu Dong was surrounded by a group of children who were curiously poking at the cara. However, none of the children dared to pick up the cara to play with it, afraid they might accidentally break it.
As soon as Lin Jin arrived, Fatty ran over and pulled her towards another kid.
Hmm, this kid didn’t seem to have any issues. Why hadn’t she noticed him before?
Although he looked fine on the outside, maybe there was sothing wrong with the head?
Why did that always sound like an insult?
The child, who looked about three years old, seed quite lively. He was lying on the desk, happily drawing on a blank piece of paper.
However, as soon as Lin Jin got closer, she slled a bad sll.
"Big sister! He pooped his pants!"
