Chapter 530 Charity
Senior Claire looked at Charlie completely differently.
Although she is not short of pocket money, it is really just pocket money, and the gold coins are counted one by one every month.
This is enough for her to live comfortably in the imperial capital and save money for some small charity activities.
In the past, she had only heard about the generosity of the noble dog owners, but today she saw it.
For one thousand gold coins, a Daxia family had to work hard for a hundred years without eating or drinking to accumulate so much wealth.
It is obvious that Charlie, this junior, is a real rich man.
Taking out a thousand gold coins is as easy as taking out a silver coin or a copper plate.
As a top student at Hadley University, Claire instantly grasped the key point. If she could develop Charlie into her supporter, wouldn't she have found a big sponsor?
Claire didn't want to trick Charlie, otherwise it would be too easy to use her identity to collect money under the banner of her family.
She believed that she was doing a meaningful cause, and by taking Charlie with her, she was also redeeming his life.
Charlie felt the change in the atmosphere. He was not really ignorant of the sufferings of the people. He had realized that he might have donated too much money.
But the words have already been spoken, how can you regret it?
Moreover, it is not a waste for Senior Claire to use money to help the poor.
The group of people staggered all the way to their destination with different moods.
Senior Sister Claire put aside some of her thoughts temporarily, refused Charlie's offer of support, and quickly jumped out of the car.
She didn't organize this kind of activity on a whim.
She had done some research in the early stage and had an in-depth understanding of the current situation of the poor. She not only applied to the school before coming, but also contacted the local police department in advance.
When it comes to relationships in your own family, you should use them when they should be used. Claire is not pedantic at all, nor does she think that borrowing her father's name is a fake.
Therefore, there was a team of security guards waiting at the event location early, led by a security chief, who personally protected the surrounding area.
When he saw Hadley University's carriage stop, the other party quickly came over and greeted with a smile: "This must be Miss Claire, right? I am the local security elder Tom, and I am here to protect everyone's safety today."
Claire greeted the other party gracefully and handed over a silver coin: "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Tom, I'm here to treat you all to tea."
Old Tom was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the proud daughter of the university, the daughter of the director of the Electricity Department, actually knew how to deal with the world.
Of course he refused to accept it. Most people would just accept it if they were filial. He would only dare to accept money from a young lady from a wealthy family like this if he was crazy.
But Claire didn't give him a chance to shirk, and forcefully stuffed the silver coins into his pocket.
He was a grown man, but he didn't dare to flirt with Claire, so he had to accept it in the end.
Although the money was not much, Old Tom couldn't ignore the lady's wishes.
He stepped forward and kicked each one several times: "Miss Claire invites everyone to drink tea. Please be careful later and make sure no mistakes are made."
The security guards have seen enough of these young gentlemen's sudden kindness that they don't care.
But if people think highly of it, then they can’t let it go.
Otherwise, the consequences would be worse. Wouldn’t the Northland men lose their face?
After Claire finished negotiating, she invited her juniors and juniors to work together.
There were baskets of black bread on the following cars, and she also prepared some wrapped copper coins. Everything was ready.
While Qin bent down to work, he glanced at the security guard in the distance.
The others are students and he has no control over what they do.
But security officers are imperial officials. Even if they are just the lowest officials, they are officials who represent the empire.
Qin couldn't accept the fact that he was eating the king's salary but still collecting money privately.
No matter how perfect the education the young prince received, he still lacked social beatings.
Fortunately, he knew what it meant to remain calm. After he finished moving the bread, he approached Senior Sister Claire and asked in a low voice: "Did they ask you for money just now?"
Claire looked along his line of sight, and Sheriff Tom happened to be paying attention as well. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, full of goodwill.
"No, I took the initiative to give it to him." Claire said very honestly: "The security guards were also invited to work overtime by me. I just invited them to have a cup of tea and work harder."
"But they are receiving national salaries. Isn't this what they should do?" Qin found it difficult to accept. Isn't this bribery?
Senior Sister Claire understands that he is another aristocratic young man who does not like the fireworks of the world.
"Charlie, if you participate in social practice with me a few more times in the future, you will know that the world is not black and white.
It's true that security guards get a salary, but this salary doesn't buy out their lives. I increase their workload. It's a courtesy to invite them to tea. If it's a bribe, what's the use of a silver coin? ? "
Claire didn’t want to say more, and she couldn’t explain clearly. These things needed to be experienced by oneself.
So she pushed Qin and pointed at Haman and others who were working: "Now, listen to me and go to work, you will understand."
Qin seemed to understand, but he seemed to understand why the teacher asked him to participate in such an activity.
Sure enough, my father was right, society is the best teacher.
Qin was full of strength and moved around a little more neatly than the others.
Claire was not surprised when she saw it. She thought that this junior must have received knightly education. Many nobles in the North still maintain the tradition of knights. There are many nobles with good skills.
Soon, baskets of black bread were opened, and Claire began to distribute black bread to the people in line, and wrapped a copper coin in it. The amount was not much, but it could relieve the family pressure a little.
During this period, a gangster came over and took a look. Old Tom stood forward with a leather stick and showed the pistol on his waist.
The gangster didn't dare to say a word and ran away in shame.
The guys on the street were most afraid of people like Old Tom.
Qin also noticed this scene and had a different feeling.
These security guards did a good job.
As for whether a silver coin was considered a bribe, he still needed to think about it.
As for why black bread was distributed, no one asked stupid questions.
Students who can study at Hadley University definitely have no problem with their IQ.
Cheap and affordable black bread is the most valuable to these poor people.
A piece of soft white bread is not as valuable to them as a large piece of black bread that a family can eat for a day.
