Chapter 451: Chapter 48: A Pleasant Miss

Seeing the incredulous faces of the children after the announcement, Rui Ying sighed. ’If only they had known, why would they have bothered in the first place?’

"You can’t do this! Didn’t you say as long as we had the ability we could go to college if we could afford it?" the leading boy asked, his eyes wide.

"But didn’t you forget that we also said you would have to pay back the money for your education once you start working?" Rui Ying’s expression turned cold.

"...We didn’t say we wouldn’t pay it back," the boy stubbornly replied.

Rui Ying scoffed, "If that were true, why would you try every means to extract money from our foundation?"

"Everyone would naturally prefer to have less debt."

"After all, the reason you do this is that you don’t take repaying money seriously, planning to default on your debts when the time comes."

Rui Ying’s expression grew even colder. She never looked down on the poor, but she despised this kind of poor people.

The group of children were dazed. How could this be? Didn’t their mom and dad say that if they pestered enough, the city folks wouldn’t want to lose face and argue with them over it?

Why did they not only end up not getting the money, but they also lost what they could have received?

Rui Ying ignored them, since the funding in the impoverished areas was only experimental this time without contracts as in the past, it spared her future entanglements.

Her previous tens of thousands of yuan were all for naught.

She called the staff to send these children away and quickly changed out of her uniform, rushing to the gift shop.

—Shen Chi had mentioned that the hairpin she liked was joining the reservation service today.

Rushing to the gift shop, Rui Ying went straight to the premium section, signed her name under the hairpin design she had been eyeing for a long time, and took out six thousand yuan deposit from her bag, "Xiao Ting, come and take the money!"

"Coming right away," Lu Xiaoting apologized to a nearby customer and hurried over.

After taking the money, Lu Xiaoting quickly took the signed order to Lin Xiaoguai for her approval, then made two copies—one for the store and one for Rui Ying. When the item was ready, Rui Ying could just bring the order form and the balance to pick it up.

Getting the signed order, Rui Ying breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed enough to chat with Lin Xiaoguai.

"Xiao Guai, this hairpin seems a lot cheaper than I expected?"

"Didn’t you look closely at the design? The hairpin uses shell material. It’s priced at eighteen thousand because of the ruby on it and the craftsmanship involved." Lin Xiaoguai said, handing the invoice to another customer.

"Speaking of which, has the shop’s business improved a lot?" Rui Ying glanced at the few scattered customers in the shop.

"Those are not insiders," Lin Xiaoguai whispered, "Nowadays, some outsiders also visit our shop, and though it’s not much business, it’s better than nothing."

Meanwhile, a female college student was asking Lu Xiaoting and pointing to the premium section, "What is that for?"

"It’s for our reservation service. All our products are handmade by our boss. The premium section features designs by our boss that customers can order after paying a deposit," Lu Xiaoting explained with a smile.

"Can I take a look?" the college student asked softly.

"Of course," Lu Xiaoting replied warmly, even though she knew the student was unlikely to afford it.

In the end, the college student did not purchase anything from the reservation service; she just left in awe and envy after a while.

"By the way, is this year’s custom service next month?" Rui Ying recalled.

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "Why, are you interested?"

The custom service would notify customers in advance about the month it would occur, but not the specific day; whether one could catch it depended on luck.

"Of course, even if I don’t need it myself, I can still do someone a favor," Rui Ying said frankly.

Having experienced the custom service before, Lin Xiaoguai knew the mentality of these people, so she wasn’t surprised.

"You’ll have to work hard then."

"By the way, what did Mr. Huang, who got the custom last year, order?" Rui Ying asked quietly.

Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, "That’s confidential unless I have permission, I cannot disclose it."

Mr. Huang was from Hong Kong. What he ordered wasn’t anything special, just a handmade gold-thread burial garment for his own funeral. Lin Xiaoguai, having come close to death herself, had no taboo about it. It was Shen Chi who initially frowned and wanted her to refuse the deal. However, grandpa and grandma said making a burial garment for someone was a good deed with no bad omens, so he let it be.
