Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

Chapter 397: Steambird Newspaper's Photographic Machine

"Ma'am, could you please allow my husband and I to come in? We want to distribute the burgers to the children in the [Orphanage] ourselves."

Unexpectedly, Chao Ke's words made the woman's complexion, which had just improved slightly, instantly turn bad.

Are you kidding? If you share the burgers with the pigs, how are we going to get them?

But after all, they came to donate supplies voluntarily, and this restaurant seemed to have a close connection with the "Rose Thorn Society", so the woman did not dare to show any displeasure to Chao Ke. She just blocked the door with her body and spoke coldly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Boss. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the children, but I'm sorry that I can't let you in."

"Most children are taking a nap at this time, so it's better not to disturb them."

Although the woman's words were rather tactful, her tone of refusal was very firm.

"You won't let us in?" Chao Ke frowned. Although he had already sensed that something was wrong in the Gray River District Orphanage, it was not the right time to fight, and violent entry was not a good idea.

To deal with them, we have to use the method they are accustomed to for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chao Ke patted the woman blocking the door and whispered in her ear, "Ma'am, I don't think you understand what I mean."

"Oh, what do you mean, Mr. Boss?"

There was a glimmer of expectation in the woman's eyes. She guessed that the boss was going to get serious.

Sure enough, Chao Ke’s next words confirmed her guess.

"Ma'am, I'm sure you know that the topic of [Caring for Children] is very popular in [Fontaine]."

“My [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] has only recently become popular and expanded, and compared with other peers in the catering industry, it lacks some foundation.”

"So, I want to tie the point of [caring for children] into our brand and use it as a gimmick to launch a higher-priced [Hulei Burger]."

"We want to take some photos first, and then announce to the public that we will donate all the profits from [Hulei Burger] to [Gray River District Orphanage], bypassing the supervision of [Charity Foundation] and handing it directly to the orphanage management staff for use."

"This will not only enrich our brand culture, but also create momentum and bring more popularity to my [Jia Ziwei Restaurant]."

The woman's eyes lit up. How could she not understand Chao Ke's meaning after hearing this? Especially the sentence "bypassing the supervision of the [Charity Foundation] and handing it directly to the orphanage managers for use" which went straight to her heart.

But no matter how excited she was, the woman did not forget to explain the important matter to Chao Ke first.

"How do you and I divide the profits from the sales of [Hulei Burger]?"

The corners of Chao Ke's mouth twitched constantly, but thinking that this was not the time to take action yet, Chao Ke forced himself to hold back.

"How about you and I split it 30-70?"

The woman's face suddenly darkened. "How come it's only 30%? If you say that, I'll have to find someone else to work with."

"I have to thank you for this brilliant idea. I'm sure there will be many bosses willing to offer me a higher price."

Chao Ke:.......

MD, it seems like he’s going to slap her.

Since Chao Ke joined the Fatui, when has he ever suffered such a loss in a transaction? Usually, once the Fatui staff handed out their business cards, there was no need to rush for the work, as the other party would automatically give the lowest price they could afford.

But for the time being, in order to conduct a field investigation, Chao Ke had no choice but to swallow his anger and take revenge later...

"Seventy percent? Seventy percent is yours."

"We [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] will take 30% and that's it."

"Hmm? You are so sincere, little brother!"

The woman was shocked by Chao Ke's distribution ratio. In her expectation, 30% was the acceptable bottom line for them.

After all, the business of Jiaziwei Restaurant is there. Even if other restaurant owners are willing to give a higher share ratio, it is unlikely to be comparable to Chao Ke's 30%.

The woman originally wanted to negotiate further and try to get a 40:60 or 50:50 split, but she didn't expect Chao Ke to immediately offer a 70:30 split.

Considering the terrifying popularity of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant], the woman looked at Chao Ke with eyes that were so gentle that they could be drawn.

"Hey, little brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? Look, I misunderstood you."

"Come in, come in. I'll go wake up all the children and greet the guests."

"Oh! By the way, little brother, you still need to take photos for promotional posters, right? We have a camera here, I will take the photos for you personally!"

Having said that, the woman made way for Chao Ke and no longer tried to stop him. Instead, she quickly walked into the [Orphanage], waking up the children lying in the beds while turning on the camera.

"vomit!"

When the woman's figure disappeared from his sight, he began to dry heave towards Ke Yuandi. He was really disgusted by this woman.

This old sister-in-law, how can she change her face without any hesitation...

It was not until Chao Ke took a few deep sniffs of his senior's body fragrance and gave Falushan a hard kiss that he came to his senses.

After adjusting his mindset, Chao Ke pushed the tricycle and finally entered the [Gray River District Orphanage] with a cart full of hamburgers.

After parking the car outside the children's dormitory, Chao Ke took a deep breath and walked in with his senior.

.......

Even though he had expected it, Chao Ke still felt his scalp tingling when he saw the scene in front of him.

In the dormitory filled with a strange smell, the children who were awakened by the woman climbed out of their beds one by one. There was almost no sleepiness in their eyes, only confusion.

Looking at their emaciated appearance, Chao Ke instantly understood that the children lying on the bed were not there to sleep in as the woman had said, but were just young lives that were starving to death, and they were reducing their physical energy consumption to a minimum in order to survive.

Chao Ke clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to resist the urge to stop fighting here.

Just as Chao Ke took out the camera from his pocket and wanted to record the children's condition, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard.

It was visibly seen that almost all the children shivered. The confused eyes of the children who had already gotten up instantly returned to clarity, and those who had not yet gotten up also climbed out of their beds instantly.

"Those who sleep in are not good kids!"

A gentle female voice accompanied by the sound of high heels hitting the ground sounded outside the door. Chao Ke looked outside the door and saw a younger woman walking in from outside the dormitory at this moment.

"you are?"

Chao Ke frowned and looked at the visitor with exquisite makeup.

Thanks to the targeted training, Chao Ke could clearly recognize that the woman in front of him, from her clothes and accessories to the perfume and eye makeup she sprayed, were all luxury goods sold at extremely high prices in [Fontaine].

"Hello Mr. Chao Ke, my full name is Tessa O'Brien, and I'm the director of this [Orphanage]."

The woman introduced herself gracefully, and when she mentioned her last name, "O'Brien," there was an undisguised hint of arrogance in her eyes.

"Duke O'Brien's family? I didn't expect that you, the dean, are actually a noble lady."

As Chao Ke spoke, he suddenly understood something. The family name "Duke O'Brien" had appeared many times in Chao Ke's memory.

The mastermind behind the death of the mother-in-law in "Mello Petersburg" who could not be released from prison even after serving her sentence; the actual controller of the entire Fontaine public finance budget and allocation department; the protagonist of the several sets of account books recording the crimes brought back by Linny and Linnet...

It is also the actual operator of the [Gray River District Orphanage Charity Foundation].

Chao Ke was not surprised that someone from this family could serve as the director of the orphanage.

"Haha." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, responding to Chao Ke.

"I am just enjoying the glory of my ancestors. It is people like you, Mr. Chao Ke, who have created great achievements on your own, who can be called great."

"I heard from my subordinates that Mr. Chao Ke's [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] is willing to cooperate with us and sponsor our [Gray River District Orphanage]. For this, on behalf of all the children, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you."

As he spoke, the dean bowed slightly to Chao Ke, but when he stood up, he grabbed the camera in Chao Ke's hand.

"Ok?"

Chao Ke frowned. Although she didn't push the dean's hand away directly, she looked at her with an unfriendly look, waiting for the dean to give an explanation.

"Haha~, Mr. Chao Ke, I know you are a little anxious to take promotional photos, but this is the children's dormitory, you have to respect their privacy!"

"Mr. Chao Ke, you don't want us to be difficult, right?"

As the dean spoke, there was a hint of threat in his eyes as he looked at Chao Ke.

Chao Ke's eyebrows jumped twice. For a moment, he didn't know whether the woman in front of him was unaware of his identity as the [Adjutant of the Fatui Executive Officer], or whether she was really Yong.

Given the current social distance between the two of them, even the patriarch of their [O'Brien Family], Duke [Tanfu O'Brien], would not dare to threaten him face to face.

"Okay, okay." For a moment, Chao Ke smiled and handed the camera in his hand to the dean and said.

"I am being presumptuous, Miss Tessa."

"How about this? All the promotional posters we need will be taken by your staff, Dean. What do you think?"

Tessa showed a hint of joy on her face. She didn't expect that the negotiation would go so smoothly. It seemed that the restaurant owner that the family had asked to be treated with caution was actually just so-so.

"In that case, I wonder if Mr. Chao Ke could go to the reception room and wait for a while. I'll give the kids some instructions and then take them over for the photo shoot. What do you think?"

At this point, Chao Ke had no choice but to agree. He pulled up Senior Falushan, who was hesitant to speak, and walked towards the reception room under the guidance of other staff members of the orphanage.

On the way, Chao Ke made a hushing gesture with his finger to Senior Qian, indicating that if he had anything to say, he could talk about it when he got home.

The talented Falushan naturally understood what Chao Ke meant. She nodded heavily and followed Chao Ke without saying a word.

But...Falushan quietly turned on the [Bilan Heavy Machine] that she created for exploring and recording ruins, which also has a video recording function.

After Chao Ke sensed the subtle fluctuations of the elemental force and realized what Falushan had done, he immediately gave his senior a thumbs up.

Well done, senior. This [Bilan Heavy Machine] is truly a masterpiece of God.

.......

[In the reception room]

The woman who had been blocking Chao Ke at the door before appeared again. She served Chao Ke and the other man a cup of tea, and then took out a brand new camera that had never been opened from a gift box.

The woman casually opened the package of the camera, and after seeing a card inside the package, she glanced at it casually, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can. Then she placed the new unpacked camera on the table, waiting to use it for shooting later.

On the other side, Chao Ke picked up the teacup to cover his ugly face.

Although the woman just glanced at the card and threw it away, this glance was enough for Chao Ke to get a general idea of ​​the contents on the card.

This card, or rather this brand new camera, was presented by all the staff of Steambird Newspaper Company three years ago. Part of the contents on the card are recorded as follows.

We sincerely hope that this [camera] can become a "magic box" in the hands of children, helping them capture their daily joy and growth, so that every warm smile and every brave attempt can be recorded. Whether it is innocent playfulness between each other, or artistic performances and handicrafts, they can all be recorded, becoming a comfort in their childhood and helping them get out of the haze of parental absence. 】

[I hope that children can use this tool to open a new window to observe the world and express themselves, and fully display their unique style. We also look forward to seeing the wonderful stories recorded by children with their cameras in the future. Steambird Newspaper will always welcome children's contributions. If possible, we would like to open a column to publish children's works.]

【——Presented by all the staff of Steambird Newspaper】

The signature date was three years ago.

........

Looking at the brand new camera on the table that had just been taken out of the package, Chao Ke understood without hesitation that the beautiful idea of ​​Steam Bird Newspaper had been completely tarnished by these parasites.

I’m afraid that the children in the orphanage have never even touched this camera during these three years.

The reason why it escaped the fate of being sold by the managers of the Orphanage was probably because this camera was a customized one. Every detail on it was filled with the logos of the Steambird Newspaper and the Gray River District Orphanage, as well as some small logos of encouraging gestures. It seems that the employees of the Steambird Newspaper put a lot of effort in designing this camera.

Although this well-intentioned act failed to encourage children's enthusiasm for photography, it at least prevented it from being sold by unscrupulous managers.

It's also sad. I wonder how Ou Fu and the others would feel when they find out about this.

Chao Ke glanced at his wife's [Bilan Heavy Machine] and confirmed that this scene was recorded truthfully.
