The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 54

Chapter 54 – Qi Yun discovered the wealth code!

The orphanage was facing trouble.

Lian Qingxue couldn’t hide her expression from Qi Yun.

Unable to hold back, Qi Yun asked several questions and quickly learned the news.

“Weren’t we collaborating with a pastry shop in the city? Two days ago, the boss told me that the shop couldn’t sustain itself and would close down.”

Lian Qingxue said with a frown.

“Is this income important for the children at the orphanage?”

“Actually, we receive a living allowance from the government regularly. But once we turn eighteen and if we don’t go to college, we won’t receive any subsidies. Many children want to save some money.”

Qi Yun understood.

Although the orphanage received social donations and official funding, it only covered the children’s basic needs.

The living allowance might not be substantial. It was difficult for the children living at the orphanage to save money solely through subsidies.

For Lian Qingxue, it might not be a big problem.

Lian Qingxue was lucky. She had good grades. She could go to a good university, and she would continue receiving subsidies during her college years.

Not to mention, she met Qi Yun.

However, she was concerned about the other children, as most of them had not achieved exceptional academic results throughout high school.

Observing Lian Qingxue’s distressed expression, Qi Yun extended his hand and gently smoothed her slightly furrowed brow.

“Little Qingxue.”

“Hmm?”

“You’re not alone anymore.” Qi Yun said gently.

Lian Qingxue blinked in confusion.

“You still have me,” Qi Yun reassured her.

……

Qi Yun’s idea was simple: invest in opening a shop for the orphanage!

Lian Qingxue was great at everything except one thing, which was too frugal for Qi Yun’s money!

Even though Qi Yun often bought her dinner, she refused to accept it if he spent a little more.

Qi Yun had never expected that having a frugal girlfriend would be so painful!

Now, he could only afford to spend ten yuan on dinner for Qingxue each day and receive a one hundred yuan rebate.

With this arrangement, Qi Yun could earn a monthly salary of three thousand yuan!

Qi Yun contemplated the idea of the system considering suicide, as it felt like an insult to the system itself!

But now, Qi Yun felt that a new door to wealth had opened for him: investing in the orphanage.

It was the same as investing in Lian Qingxue!

Open a store!

A store regardless of cost!

……

In the orphanage, the basketball court had already been built. Two or three little boys were running around with a ball on it.

Qi Yun, Qingxue, and Director Li walked along the edge of the court, having a conversation.

“I’m already grateful that people have been able to persist for so many years. After all, we only pay them the material costs for selling biscuits and cakes in their shop.”

Director Li said with a smile.

“What are we going to do now in the orphanage?”

Director Li fell silent for a moment. “Let me see if we can get more money from higher authorities.”

Qi Yun knew that there was not much hope for that.

If it were possible to acquire it, why would they have waited until now?

“I have an idea! Why don’t we open our dessert shop in the orphanage?”

Qi Yun asked Director Li.

“Open our shop? Setting aside the risk issue, where do we have so much money in the orphanage?”

Director Li smiled bitterly.

“Money? I have money!” Qi Yun couldn’t help but exclaim with joy.

Qingxue and Director Li exchanged glances, sensing a familiar sense of dread.

“Qi Yun, you’re not from our orphanage. We can’t take advantage of you for this.”

Director Li rejected him outright.

“Why not?” Qi Yun’s eyes widened, “I’m a family member!”

“……”

Lian Qingxue blushed on the side.

Seeing his firm determination, Director Li felt somewhat helpless. “Opening a shop is not a simple task.”

“It’s alright. I’m not afraid of difficulties!” Qi Yun was firm.

“Have you carefully considered the implications? For this, we need a significant amount of money!”

“I have thought it through,” Qi Yun replied resolutely.

Qi Yun wouldn’t be satisfied if it were a small sum of money!

“Qi Yun, doing business is not that easy. Neither of us has any business experience, and there’s a high risk of incurring losses,” A golden path of wealth flashed through Qi Yun’s eyes.

Losses? That’s great!

With losses, he could reinvest, and reinvesting would yield more rebates. It’s simply perfect!

A shop that could lose money is wonderful!

“I like losses… No, I mean, I’m doing this not just for the money!” Seeing Director Li’s strange gaze, Qi Yun quickly corrected himself.

This simple dedication of Qi Yun touched Director Li.

“Son, you have already done too much for our orphanage ……”

She turned to Qingxue.

“Qingxue, although I am getting old, my eyes are still sharp. Qi Yun is such a wonderful child. You can’t let him down.”Director Li said sincerely.

Qingxue nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Qi Yun.

Seeing that both of them had eyes that were slightly teary, even Qi Yun, despite his thick-skinned nature, couldn’t help but blush.

“I’m just doing it for the money. It’s embarrassing that you’re getting emotional,” Qi Yun clarified.”
