Bai Mu placed the items he had brought in the main hall and had the chubby child lead him to the dean. When he arrived at the dean's office, he found the dean lying prone on his desk, rewriting his homework.

Although the president of the orphanage, but also engaged in the education of children. Because the orphanage lacked funds, they couldn't afford to hire teachers. Therefore, the children in the enlightenment phase were taught by the dean alone and another old uncle.

When he thought back to how he was able to go to school, how many times had his uncle the Principal ran errands for him and said many good things. But now, not only had he failed to help his uncle the Principal, but he had also made him so tired.

He shifted his gaze away from the white hair on the dean's head and said, ”Little Fatty, go and play with the other children. Brother Bai Mu has something to say to the Principal's grandfather.”

The child called Little Fatso glanced at Bai Mu, and then glanced at the dean's grandfather, who was earnestly revising his homework. He nodded, waved to Bai Mu, and ran off in a huff.

”Uncle Bai.” Bai Mu called out softly, but the dean didn't hear him. He continued to write with the pen in his hand as he stared at the exercise book on the table. His brows were knitted, and they relaxed at times.

”Uncle dean …” Bai Mu's voice was slightly heavier as he lifted his foot and walked towards Dean Bai.

”Hmm?” Dean Bai turned his head around doubtfully. When he saw the person walking toward him, his eyes were filled with pleasant surprise under his reading glasses.

”Child, you're back!” Principal Bai hurriedly stood up and pulled Bai Mu's hand with a smile on his face. His already rough hands were slightly trembling.

”Uncle Headmaster, I'm back.” Bai Mu nodded his head heavily. Upon seeing this familiar face, warmth surged through his heart.

”Alright, alright. As long as you're back.” Dean Bai lowered his head slightly. He wiped his face with his dry hands and said in a choked voice, ”Come, come. Quickly, sit down.” You see, when I'm happy, I forget everything. ”

As he said this, he pulled Bai Mu along to a nearby stool, and looked at the unsteady Headmaster's Uncle walking in front of him. Bai Mu's nose was slightly sore; if it wasn't for him, the Headmaster's Uncle's leg wouldn't have been broken, so he asked, ”Uncle Headmaster, how are your legs right now?”

Dean Bai sat on the stool and knocked his leg and sighed. ”Sigh, it's useless if you're old. Your leg would cause rheumatism if it rains together.”

”Uncle President, you're so old already. Don't tire yourself out so much in the future. Let's find a few teachers for the orphanage!” Bai Mu held onto the dean's hand and said with a pained tone.

”Uncle Bai also wants to find some teachers who have received formal education for the children. It's just that the relief money for this orphanage has all been used up, let alone the teachers …” ”Hey, look. Uncle Bai will complain to you the moment you get back, really!”

”Uncle Bai, it's alright. You taught me like a father and I'm grateful for your help. Don't worry, I will help you take care of the orphanage in the future. Now that I'm grown up, it's time to return to the orphanage.”

”Child, you are right to have such a heart. You've just graduated from college and it's not easy for you to find a job outside. ”

Bai Mu shook his head and smiled, ”Uncle Bai, it's alright.” With that, he handed the cheque that Liu Ying had left on his desk to Dean Bai.

Upon seeing the numbers on the cheque, he trembled in agitation. Then, he turned to look at Bai Mu with eyes filled with worry.

Bai Mu knew what the dean was thinking and quickly explained, ”Uncle dean, this was funded by a wealthy merchant to our orphanage. He knew about our orphanage and I was once a child of the orphanage. So he gave me the check.

As you know, there are a lot of black-hearted charities these days. Most of the money donated by the good people has been devoured, so how much of it can actually reach our orphanage? ”Because of this, that rich businessman investigated the situation over here and that's why he gave me the cheque.”

Principal Bai looked at Bai Mu and nodded doubtfully.

”Not only that, I've also found a job here. ”The salary is 20,000 yuan a month, so I can contribute to the orphanage in the future.”

Hearing Bai Mu's words, the dean nodded and said, ”Child, good child!” The dean nodded and patted Bai Mu's shoulder. Among so many children, there probably weren't many who could return to the orphanage after they grew up.

With this smile on his face, Dean Bai stood up and hobbled over to his bedside. He picked up the cheque in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then used his hand to smooth out the wrinkles. He repeated the cheque several times with satisfaction before finally placing it carefully in a small metal box placed beside his bed.

He mumbled, ”This time, not only are we getting better teachers for the children, we are also improving their food.”

Looking at Dean Bai's stooped back, Bai Mu felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone. He was in pain.

Principal Bai turned around and said with a smile, ”Alright, child. You must have not eaten yet. Come, your Uncle Cheng must have prepared something to eat. Let's go eat dinner.”

Bai Mu nodded and supported Dean Bai back to the main hall.

There was a large round table in the lobby. There were more than 20 people on this table, and when Bai Mu and the others went there, Uncle Cheng had already prepared the food. The food on the table was obviously more meat and more than food.

After the meal, Bai Mu chatted with the Principal and the others for a while before he went to bed. As for tomorrow's work, whether it was a joke by that girl or not, Bai Mu was determined to give it a try.

On the second day, after Bai Mu finished his breakfast, he went to the University of Holy Light. Because he didn't have a phone and couldn't call her, he could only wait at the entrance of the school.

In the afternoon, Bai Mu didn't wait for the girl from yesterday. Seeing a female student walk over, Bai Mu walked up to her with a smile and greeted her politely. ”Student, can I ask you something?”

When the girl saw that Bai Mu Ren looked clean, she immediately blushed and nodded shyly, ”Excuse me, do you know the owner of this name card?”
