After Tricia said that, Aunt Lan only nodded.
So that night, the Big Banyan Tree House held another charity party as scheduled.
The following days passed day by day, and on the 13th and 16th of this month, the Big Banyan Tree House held charity evenings.During this period, Mu Yunfan would also come to the Big Banyan Tree House to teach the children how to make snacks when he was free.
By the way, the number of daily customers of Feifan Restaurant has stabilized at around 13 people since the 150th and has not declined.This stable number of guests is exactly as Mu Yunfan expected, and as long as he participates in the selection contest of the Peace Memorial Celebration, Feifan Restaurant will be able to earn 100 million with a high probability.
It was the 17th. At this time, in the room on the first floor of the Big Banyan Tree House, Tricia and Wendy were counting the money raised during the charity gala.
The two counted for a while, and finally they were almost finished. Wendy asked with anticipation on her face, "How much did we raise in total?"
Tricia's expression was a little dark and authentic: "624 million."
Wendy was taken aback, her face was full of disappointment. 624 million, which is a full 2500 million short of 1876 million.Moreover, the 624 million is the money they raised in more than a month and a half since they held a charity gala last month, and the time left for them is less than half a month.
Wendy said with a face full of disappointment: "We are still far behind."
But then Tricia cheered up and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the 20th is coming soon, as long as we successfully raise funds at the trade and business party on the 20th, we will be able to successfully raise 2500 million! So, we will work hard to organize children They rehearsed their best performances and managed to impress the people at the trade business evening."
Wendy cheered up and nodded vigorously. "Well, I'll do my best too!"
At this time, in the yard outside, Mina was building a castle with sand with Annie, Paul and the others.By the way, during the time Mina was at the Big Banyan Tree House, the girl she had the best relationship with was Annie.
Annie is a quiet girl who likes to make dim sum, so she often makes dim sum for Mina to comment on.Slowly, the two became more and more familiar with each other.
Then it was time for rehearsal, and everyone gathered, but Aunt Mei and Aunt Lan did not let everyone rehearse as usual.
Tricia walked over to the children and said, "Everyone, the rehearsal of our charity performance will be suspended for a while."
There was a sudden burst of bewildered noises from the children.
Tricia explained to the children: "Because we will go to a place on the night of the 20th, that is, the night after tomorrow, to participate in a trade and business evening held by the Violet Traders Association. Fundraising. This is a very important party, so we will select fifteen children and rehearse the best performance for the people at the party."
As soon as the children heard that they could go to other places to perform, they raised their little hands eagerly and chirped:
"I'm going I'm going!"
"I me me!"
"Choose me, choose me!"
Mina also raised her little hand and said excitedly: "Mina wants to go too!"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the children, Tricia couldn't help but smiled and said, "Okay, now I will select the children who performed the best in the previous performances for rehearsal. Paul, Anne, Mina..."
Tricia read the names of fifteen children, and the children whose names were read couldn't help jumping up and down with joy.
Mina looked forward to it: "Sister Tricia, can Mina sing there?"
Tricia shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, Mina, because this time we went to someone else's party to raise donations in the name of the Big Banyan Tree House. You are a child of Feifan Restaurant. If you are asked to sing on our behalf Some are inappropriate. However, this time we will rehearse the best performance for everyone to see."
Mina was a little disappointed, but she still nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Well, Mina will work hard!"
So Tricia organized rehearsals for the fifteen children who had just read their names.
So today on the 17th, tomorrow on the 18th and the day after tomorrow on the 19th, Mina and the children of the Big Banyan Tree House rehearsed for the fundraising performance of the trade and business evening.
The time finally reached the 20th. On this day, Mina came to the Big Banyan Tree House to play and rehearse with the children as usual, and when the time reached eight o'clock, Mu Yunfan did not come to pick up Mina.
At this time, a carriage was parked in front of the house of the Big Banyan Tree. Tricia and Wendy boarded the carriage with 15 children including Mina Anne.At this time, Mina Anne and other 15 children were all wearing beautiful and lovely clothes, which were specially customized for tonight's performance.
Mina and the others are going to take a carriage to the palace hotel, which is the number one hotel in Violet City.Tonight, the Violet Traders Association will hold a trade and business party at the Palace Hotel.
At this trade and business evening, many well-known business owners in the business world of Violet City will gather.It can be said that these business owners are all worth a lot of money. As long as they can successfully raise donations from them, there is no doubt that they can easily raise enough for the remaining 1876 million.
At this moment, Tricia was sitting in the carriage, watching the children chattering excitedly because of the upcoming performance, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Because, this can be said to be the last chance for the Big Banyan Tree House to raise funds.If it fails this time, Tricia really can't think of any other way to raise the remaining 1876 million Baileys in less than half a month.
Tricia looked at the children chattering in the carriage ahead, with expectant smiles on their faces. Thinking of the consequences of the failure of this fundraising, she couldn't help showing a very worried expression.
The land where the Big Banyan House is currently located was provided to the Big Banyan House by the government at a very low price.If the fundraising fails, the Big Banyan House will be forced to move to another place.Because the rent and land price in Violet City are very high, the House of the Big Banyan Tree will become difficult to maintain, and sooner or later it will face dissolution.
This world is different from Mu Yunfan's original world. This world lacks welfare institutions, and there are no official institutions that can guarantee the lives of these children.For these orphans, a place like the Big Banyan Tree Home that allows them to grow up healthily and happily is rare.
Many children here lived in very difficult conditions before they came to the Big Banyan Tree House. When many children first came to the Big Banyan Tree House, they looked sallow and emaciated from hunger.It was after they came to the house of the big banyan tree that they became so lively and happy.
Once the Big Banyan Tree Home is forced to disband, the children will be placed in different places, and life may become difficult for many of them again.Therefore, Tricia does not want the Big Banyan House to be disbanded anyway.
At this time, the expression on Tricia's face was full of anxiety, Wendy saw Tricia's expression, she couldn't help putting her hands on Tricia's hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister Tricia, we will definitely succeed this time. "
Tricia smiled and nodded "Yes".
Then, Tricia looked at the happy smiling children in front of her, and made up her mind.For the sake of the children, I have to persuade the bosses at the trade and business party to raise donations anyway.
So, the carriage drove towards Gongli Hotel like this.
At this time, at Feifan Restaurant, it was around 7:[-] p.m., because it was close to closing time, so there were almost no customers in the restaurant.
At this time, Leonora was lying on the counter, sighing and saying: "Ah, ah, I really want to see Mina's performance, I really want to see Mina's performance, I really want to see Mina's performance."
Charlotte on the side said: "Sister Leonola, do you want to go so much?"
Leonola immediately said: "Of course! Mina wore a custom-made dress this time, and it took a very long time to rehearse! I really want to see it~"
Phyllis beside her also said, "Well, actually, I also want to see it, after all, Mina is looking forward to this performance very much these days."
Mu Yunfan happened to pass by here, and when he heard what the three of them said, he smiled and said, "There's nothing you can do if you want to see it. To participate in these commercial and trade evenings, you need an invitation letter to enter. We don't have an invitation letter, how can we go?" ?”
Leonora couldn't help puffing up her cheeks, looking sullen.
At this moment, a voice came from the guest table not far from the counter and said, "If you want to go, we have an invitation letter here."
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that sitting there was Master Moore and Master Moore's son Hall, and it was Master Moore who spoke just now.
Since the opening of Feifan Restaurant, Master Moore has been coming here to taste a meal from time to time. It can be said that he is one of Feifan Restaurant's loyal customers.
When Leonora heard it, she was surprised and said, "Master Moore, is it true?"
Master Moore nodded and smiled: "Well, actually, I have some connection with Times Architecture, one of the companies participating in this trade and business evening. They gave me an invitation letter and wanted to invite me to go. But I'm too old to retire I don’t want to participate in these business matters anymore, so I didn’t go. If you want, I can give it to you.”
The moment Master Moore said this, Leonora's eyes lit up and said: "I, I, I, I want to go!"
287. Fundraising
Hall, who was sitting opposite Master Moore, took out an invitation letter, handed it to Leonora and said with a smile: "One invitation letter can be used by three people."
Leonola accepted the invitation letter and said excitedly, "Thank you so much!"
Immediately, Leonola looked at Mu Yunfan and the others, and asked, "Which one of you will go with me?"
At this time, Hall laughed and said, "You are all beautiful girls, if you go to such an occasion, there is a man to accompany you, which can save a lot of people to strike up a conversation."
Leonola looked at Mu Yunfan when she heard it.Mu Yunfan saw Leo La's eager eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to go by himself no matter what.Mu Yunfan could only say: "Eh, then I'll go."
Leonola looked at Phyllis and the others again: "Which one of you is going?"
Phyllis quickly said: "I, I will go too!"
Leonola nodded and smiled, "Well, let's go together, the three of us."
Seeing Felice's somewhat nervous expression, Mu Yunfan felt that Felice didn't just go there because she wanted to see Mina's performance.
Then Leonora looked at the time on the invitation letter, and said with a terrible expression: "Ah, the party starts at [-]:[-], and it may be too late for us to close the store."
Mu Yunfan said: "Mina didn't perform on stage from the very beginning, did she?"
Leonola pouted and looked at Mu Yunfan pleadingly: "But I'm afraid I might miss Mina's performance."
Mu Yunfan couldn't help but smile wryly, when did this guy Leola learn to be cute and coquettish?
Mu Yunfan could only look at Catherine and Charlotte.
Catherine smiled and said, "Teacher, you can leave now, and we will leave the closing of the store to us."
Charlotte nodded too. "Well, we will be responsible for closing the store."
Mu Yunfan said: "Well, thank you."
Leonola said happily: "Thank you, we will bring you snacks from the restaurant when we come back, let's go!"
So Mu Yunfan and Phyllis Leola immediately changed into clothes suitable for going to the party, and then the three of them called a carriage and set off to Gongli Hotel.
At this time in Gongli Hotel, Tricia Wendy and the children came to the carriage parking place of Gongli Hotel, and everyone got out of the carriage.At this time, when the children saw the magnificent Gongli Hotel, all the children couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.
No way, all the children, including Mina, came to such a luxurious place for the first time.
Although Mina is a little princess, she was born in Lighthouse City, so she has never seen such a luxurious place before.
Mina exclaimed, "Wow, this place is so beautiful."
Annie said: "This is like a castle!"
Tricia smiled and said, "Everyone come with me, let's go to the place where we are preparing for the performance."
So the children followed Tricia to the preparation room behind the performance stage in the banquet hall.
Not long after, the three of Mu Yunfan also arrived at Gongli Hotel in a carriage.The three got out of the carriage, found a waiter, and led them to the banquet hall.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Mu Yunfan showed the invitation letter, and the three of them entered the venue of the trade and business evening.
As soon as he entered the venue, Mu Yunfan saw the magnificent banquet hall.
There is a big red carpet, white round tables, and there are exquisite food served in exquisite porcelain on the round tables.Well-dressed men and beautiful ladies chat and laugh over tall wine glasses.The radiant crystal chandeliers on the top of the ceiling and various exquisite lighting decorations on the walls make the entire banquet hall look magnificent.
Mu Yunfan couldn't help but secretly marveled, but seeing that Phyllis and Leonola saw this scene without any particularly surprised expressions on their faces, Mu Yunfan also pretended not to be surprised at all.
As soon as the three of them entered the hall, Leonora couldn't wait to look around, expecting and worried at the same time: "Where is Mina, where is Mina? Could it be that the performance is over?"
The three of Mu Yunfan came a bit late, because when the three of them entered, the party had already started.
Phyllis said: "The party has just started, Mina and the others should not be on stage so soon."
Mu Yunfan pointed to a performance stage with a band playing in the deepest part of the hall and said, "Mina and the others should perform here, let's wait."
Leonora nodded.
So the three of them waited in the hall.Because Leonora and Phyllis are both super beautiful girls, they immediately attracted many people to strike up a conversation.
To be honest, Mu Yunfan was very worried about showing off in front of these people and revealing that they were not business owners at all.However, all the people who came to strike up a conversation were dealt with decently and politely by Phyllis and Leo, and Mu Yunfan didn't need to say a word, and he didn't have to worry about being exposed.Mu Yunfan couldn't help sighing, Phyllis and Leonora are indeed people who have been used to going to and from such occasions since they were young.
At this moment, Phyllis suddenly looked in a certain direction to the side and was stunned.
Mu Yunfan and Leonola also looked over, and couldn't help but be taken aback, because it was Fan Lunxi who was there, and Fan Lunxi also participated in the party.
