Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 719 - 717 A Win-Win Solution (First Update)
Nuonuo’s little trick couldn’t fool Da Bao at all. She was trying to protect Si Jun, that kid, and even learned to use indirect tactics.
Fine! You don’t want me to see him, so I’m determined to go meet him.
Turning around, Da Bao made a phone call to the lawyer, saying that regarding the donation to the orphanage, he wanted to personally go once. Lawyer Zhao is the lawyer of Ji Group; when the Crown Prince says east, he certainly doesn’t go west.
On Monday, Nuonuo went to school as usual, while Da Bao left the house early, but not returning to the company. Instead, he had Lawyer Zhao come over to pick him up to go together to the orphanage.
Dean Luo was somewhat surprised to see the exceedingly young Ji Dabao, "This gentleman is Mr. Ji?"
For an instant, she even suspected that the good news she received over the phone was nothing more than a joke by this young man. After all, a donation of over a million, plus supplies, didn’t seem like something this young man could easily afford.
In such situations, Ji Dabao was already quite adept.
"Dean Luo, hello, my name is Ji Yu."
Unlike his father, Da Bao is a talkative person, of course, the prerequisite is that he wants to be.
He followed Dean Luo around the orphanage and generally learned everything he wanted to know, including the boy named Si Jun.
In Dean Luo’s words, Si Jun was indeed as Nuonuo described: thirteen years old, very understanding, good at studying, and taking good care of the children at the orphanage.
Anyway, judging from the frequency of mention from Dean Luo, Si Jun seemed to be the most outstanding child in the orphanage and the one she was most satisfied with.
Da Bao didn’t mention a word about Nuonuo and the others coming for the charity performance, and certainly didn’t mention Si Jun wanting to learn the violin.
He just very politely expressed a desire to meet the few outstanding children mentioned by the dean.
After such a round of touring, Dean Luo’s initial concerns were basically gone. From the refined conversation of this young man, she could tell that this person was either rich or noble, and his background was not simple.
With her concerns gone, Dean Luo naturally wouldn’t refuse Da Bao’s request. She was a dean who loved children, but her power was very limited. At this orphanage, most of the children need to start being independent and earn money to support themselves by the time they graduate junior high. Only a few who do well academically can complete their studies in high school or university through their hard work and the support of kind-hearted people.
Currently, she also hopes these few children will arouse some sympathy in this young Mr. Ji, so their futures might become somewhat brighter.
The children were having class in the classroom, and the dean invited Da Bao and Lawyer Zhao to her office, and then personally brought over the four children she deemed outstanding.
Among the four children, there were three boys and one girl, the eldest and tallest of whom was Si Jun.
Da Bao looked at Si Jun with a gaze that contained concealed appraisal. Honestly speaking, this boy was of average height but looked rather handsome. Although his frame appeared somewhat frail, his eyes were very bright. Moreover, at the moment their gazes met, there was no sign of retreat in the other party, which made Da Bao realize that this person had a strong backbone and a very determined will.
If it weren’t for those unmentionable feelings he had towards Nuonuo, Da Bao would definitely say that the little girl had a good eye!
But the truth is, his feelings for Nuonuo, for now, are unattainable, unable to be revealed, yet difficult to let go.
Therefore, now his feelings towards Si Jun have become extremely contradictory and complex.
Dean Luo briefly introduced Da Bao to the children, and Si Jun stared fixedly at Ji Dabao.
Da Bao’s heart skipped a beat, could it be that he knew about his relationship with Nuonuo and his identity?
While Da Bao’s mind was racing, Si Jun stepped forward excitedly looking at him. "Hello, Brother Ji Yu!"
Da Bao was slightly startled. Maybe that silly girl Nuonuo was fooled somehow and just revealed his identity?
"Little friend, do you know me?" Da Bao smiled warmly, appearing as a kind big brother to everyone watching.
"Yes, Brother Ji Yu, you’re my idol!"
Only then did Da Bao understand that he hadn’t been imagining things—the kid’s eyes truly were full of excitement and admiration.
"Little Jun, you mean the Ji Yu senior is this Mr. Ji?" Dean Luo belatedly took a closer look at Ji Yu.
"Yes, that’s right!"
Si Jun’s eyes shone brightly; now he no longer appeared as mature and stable as before, but rather exuded youthful energy and sunshine more fitting for his age.
Da Bao, confused, looked at Si Jun and Dean Luo, but one thing was certain: Nuonuo had not disclosed any of her special identity information to this kid.
Si Jun, as if transformed into a different person, diligently poured tea for Da Bao and Lawyer Zhao, and briefly described how he came to know Da Bao.
"Two months ago, the dean took us to visit R University, and at the time there was an award ceremony going on in the auditorium. I saw Brother Ji Yu receiving his award on stage."
The award ceremony Si Jun mentioned, Ji Yu indeed went on stage to receive an academic award.
"Brother Ji Yu, you’re only seventeen, right? So impressive, you’re only three years older than me yet you know so much, and I heard you also manage your own company, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Luo realized it wasn’t her imagination—the young man indeed wasn’t an adult yet.
"Yes, I’m now in my fourth year, and I rarely go back to school as I’m investing a lot of time in the startup phase."
Facing the enthusiastic Si Jun, Da Bao couldn’t bring himself to give him a cold shoulder, and even started to warm up to him.
"I played your company’s new game, from the storyline to the graphics, it’s wonderfully designed, but..."
Talking about the new game reawakened Da Bao’s interest, and he looked at him with keen interest, "But what?"
Si Jun chuckled bashfully, "But, I don’t have money to buy equipment, and I need to study."
Regarding this, Da Bao didn’t say much, as he didn’t agree with young kids being endlessly indulged in games.
However, he did remember that this kid told Nuonuo he would save up money to buy a violin himself.
"Do you have any ideas about that game? I’ll give you an email address, and you can write down all your thoughts and send them over. If we find them valuable, we’ll compensate you accordingly. Are you interested?"
Da Bao thought this was a good two-for-one solution: he might receive some valuable feedback, and meanwhile, Si Jun could earn money to buy his violin, reducing his chances to bother Nuonuo.
Of course, there are other issues that Da Bao finds troublesome, but regarding the potential of Si Jun bothering Nuonuo, Da Bao has already found a solution for the time being.
