I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

In the latter half of the banquet, Shen Ling'er finally finished the small cake that was "pretty but not tasty".

She put down the small fork, her expression serious.

Yang Mi looked down at her.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "It lied to me."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Who lied to you?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the small cakes on the plate.

"Looks like someone who can eat their fill."

There was no result.

Yang Mi: "..."

The actress in the white dress next to her burst out laughing.

"Ling'er, what you said is so true."

Zhao Lei came down from the stage and happened to hear it, so he immediately chimed in.

"Latest news from the Shen Family Classroom Charity Gala branch school."

"Looks like you can get a full stomach, but you can't."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"You don't need to memorize this sentence."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

"She's now proactively filtering your materials."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"I feel my career is being challenged."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You've always been on the fringes."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Several celebrities around him were laughing so hard their shoulders were shaking.

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei walks on the fringes!"

"Teacher Ling'er: Do not spread ineffective golden quotes."

"This cake review is hilarious! The dessert section for the charity gala is in danger!"

"She really can audit in any situation."

The auction continues.

The atmosphere at the scene changed noticeably after that children's charity painting was displayed.

Many people attend the charity gala for social reasons, exposure, and brand relationships.

But now, when people look at those auction items, they subconsciously take a second look at the charity projects behind them.

It's not just about who donated.

It's not just about whether something is valuable or not.

Instead, we're looking at where the money will ultimately end up.

An entrepreneur donated a limited-edition watch.

The host explained that the proceeds from the auction of this watch will be used to build book corners in rural schools.

Shen Ling'er, who was leaning against Yang Mi, raised her eyes when she heard the words "book corner".

Zhao Lei caught a glimpse of her moving out of the corner of his eye while on stage, and immediately perked up.

He now has a conditioned reflex.

Shen Ling'er raised her eyes, indicating that things were not simple.

The starting bid for the watch was not low.

Soon someone raised a sign.

One million.

"One million five hundred thousand."

Two million.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually heated up.

Zhao Lei was preparing to continue according to the procedure.

Shen Ling'er suddenly asked a question.

What books should we buy in the book corner?

The voice was not loud.

But because of her special status, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

Zhao Lei on stage was also stunned for a moment.

The person in charge of the event immediately came over and explained with a smile.

"The main purpose is to supplement rural schools with children's books, science books, and some extracurricular books."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Who will choose?"

The person in charge was taken aback.

"This... is usually a book list compiled jointly by the project team and the school teachers."

Shen Ling'er frowned slightly.

Did you ask the child?

The person in charge was truly stunned.

The other celebrities nearby also quieted down.

Shen Ling'er continued, "Books for children will become mere decorations if the children don't want to read them."

"Put it in the corner, call it the book corner."

"Nobody bothers to look at it, so it's called Dust Corner."

The entire audience: "..."

Zhao Lei almost dropped the microphone.

"Dust Corner..."

Bai Sisi took a soft breath.

"That's a very accurate statement."

Yang Mi looked at her daughter and was slightly taken aback.

She knew that Shen Ling'er wasn't deliberately picking a fight.

She only heard about the "book corner" and wondered if anyone would actually use that corner in the end.

The smile on the organizer's face gradually turned serious.

"Little Ling'er, you're right."

"In the past, we did indeed focus more on the convenience of teachers and projects."

"We didn't ask enough questions about what books the children wanted to read."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Books are not meant for those who donate them."

"It's for the reader."

These words were spoken.

The scene fell completely silent in an instant.

Zhao Lei stood on the stage, his voice a little softer.

"The Second Lesson of the Shen Family Classroom Charity Gala"

"Books are not for those who donate them, but for those who read them."

"This sentence is really worth remembering."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"TOLL."

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"Already marked".

The barrage of comments was densely packed.

"Holy crap, that's a blatant attack on the formalism of public service."

"I'm really upset about the dusty corner; in many places, donating books is just for taking nice photos."

Shen Ling'er always asks the most practical questions: Who uses it? Is it easy to use?

The entrepreneur, who had been sitting in the front row, slowly stood up after hearing those words.

He picked up the microphone, smiling somewhat sheepishly.

"Ling'er's reminder is very helpful."

"I'll add another million to the proceeds from this watch's auction."

"But I hope the project team will allocate a portion of this money specifically for collecting students' reading lists."

"Let the children write what they want to read."

Applause immediately erupted in the audience.

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"Can."

The entrepreneur actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but laugh.

"Dear viewers, did you see that?"

"After the entrepreneur added another million tonight, what he cared about most wasn't applause, but whether Teacher Ling'er would say yes."

The entrepreneur himself laughed.

"That's true."

"That's good. I'm even more nervous than when I just took the project photo."

A top female star next to her sighed softly.

"Right now, if someone can get Ling'er to say 'yes,' it feels more real than winning a charity trophy."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You can't read while playing with a trophy."

Actress: "..."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

The live stream chat was filled with laughter.

"You can't read while wearing a trophy, hahaha!"

"She really brought the unfounded argument back to reality in just three sentences."

"..."

For the next few items, everyone in the room became noticeably more cautious.

It's not that I'm afraid to film.

Instead, when introducing public welfare purposes, no one uses fancy words anymore.

Whenever a staff member mentions "helping more children grow up," Zhao Lei would subconsciously glance at Shen Ling'er.

He only dared to continue when Shen Ling'er didn't react.

When it came to a "Warm Package for Children in Mountainous Areas" project donated by a brand, the person in charge gave a particularly detailed introduction.

"Each warm pack contains a cotton coat, gloves, a scarf, socks, hand cream, and some basic stationery."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling'er finally looked up.

"How many pairs of socks?"

The person in charge immediately replied, "Two pairs."

Shen Ling'er frowned.

"Too few."

The person in charge was taken aback.

"Too little?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "My shoes are wet, and my socks are wet too."

"It dries slowly in winter."

Two pairs aren't enough to exchange.

The person in charge opened his mouth slightly.

He clearly hadn't expected a five-year-old girl to ask about the number of socks.

The singer next to him was also stunned.

"Yes, it's cold in the mountains in winter. If the children have to walk a long way to school, it's very uncomfortable for them to have wet socks."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Cold feet make the road seem longer."

After those words were spoken, the banquet hall fell silent again.

It wasn't that kind of awkward silence.

Instead, everyone suddenly saw a scene in their minds.

A child walks on a mountain path in winter wearing wet socks.

The length of Mingming Road has not changed.

But when your feet get cold, the road really does seem longer.

Zhao Lei held the microphone, his throat feeling as if it were being gently blocked.

Shen Ling'er looked at the person in charge.

"Put one more pair in."

The person in charge nodded immediately.

"it is good."

"We'll change it."

Shen Ling'er then asked, "What size are the gloves?"

The person in charge quickly looked at the documents.

"Small and medium sizes are available."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Don't send the same thing to everyone."

"Their hands are not the same size."

The person in charge reacted quickly this time.

"Understood, we'll allocate them according to age and height."

Shen Ling'er added, "Don't just take pictures and post them."

The person in charge felt a chill run down his spine and immediately stood up straight.

"We will follow up."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"When making a follow-up call, don't just ask if you received it or not."

"You should ask if it's warm or not."

The person in charge remained completely silent for a second.

Then he nodded very seriously.

"it is good."

"Are you feeling warm?"

Even some of the brand representatives sitting in the back row started taking notes.

Looking at the row of business representatives in suits below the stage, Zhao Lei couldn't help but whisper to the camera, "I have a strange feeling right now."

Bai Sisi asked, "What illusion?"

Zhao Lei said, "This is not a charity gala."

"This is the brand behind the on-site training for five-year-old public interest auditors."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You'll be less talkative and more useful today."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up instantly.

"More useful!"

"Did you all hear that? I leveled up tonight!"

Bai Sisi covered her mouth with laughter.

"Stop arguing, or they'll take it back again."

Zhao Lei immediately shut up.

Laughter erupted again throughout the room.

The comments section was flooded with messages.

Halfway through the dinner, the organizers added an interactive segment.

The original intention was to have several celebrities share their experiences in public welfare.

As soon as the host brought up the topic, many people in the audience couldn't help but look at Shen Ling'er.

Zhao Lei's expression was somewhat complicated upon seeing this scene.

"I feel like people don't want to hear celebrities' thoughts tonight."

"I want to hear Teacher Ling'er review the accounts."

Shen Ling'er was drinking water when she heard this and looked up.

I'm so tired.

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"Understood. The teacher has already taught for two consecutive days and shouldn't work overtime."

The organizer quickly added with a smile, "No, no, we won't force you. Ling'er just needs to rest."

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"You can say one sentence."

The scene immediately fell silent.

Zhao Lei immediately handed over the microphone.

Shen Ling'er didn't answer, but leaned against Yang Mi, her voice calm.

"When doing charity, don't think about others seeing you first."

"First, consider whether he can see the road."

The banquet hall fell silent for a moment, so quiet that you could hear the clinking of glasses.

Shen Ling'er continued, "You're standing under the light, it's very bright."

"Some people live in very dark places."

"The money needs to be transferred."

"Even the light must pass."

"But don't put yourself in front of them."

After saying that sentence...

Shen Ling'er put down the water glass and stopped talking.

But the whole scene seemed to be gently pressed down.

It took a long time before someone slowly started to applaud.

Then the applause grew louder and louder.

This time, Shen Ling'er frowned, but didn't tell her to stop arguing.

Yang Mi looked down at her, his eyes incredibly soft.

Bai Sisi's eyes even glistened.

"Don't put yourself in front of others..."

She repeated it softly.

Zhao Lei, unusually, didn't immediately try to be funny.

He looked at Shen Ling'er and spoke in a very low voice.

"Teacher Ling'er's words really summed up to tonight."
