After Starry Sky Kindergarten became popular, various collaborations came knocking.0
Including some co-branding opportunities.0
Especially local businesses, who really wanted to cash in on the kindergarten's fan base.0
Starry Sky Kindergarten's fans were the most targeted audience in the market.0
Moreover, they were predominantly female, who happened to be the main consumer force.0
Unfortunately, while their intentions were good, Shen Wei would never agree to such blatant profiteering.0
As a result, hundreds of these collaboration contracts were delivered to their hands through various channels.0
There were far too many to even look through.0
They were all piled up on Lin Rui's desk.0
Some of them were quite good, with significant commercial value.0
But they absolutely couldn't collaborate in the way Starry Sky would.0
Lin Rui and Qin Shu mainly handled this, as they were both ambitious, and even roped Shen Wei into setting up an angel investment group.0
They would identify these opportunities and invest in other ways. After all, none of the three lacked money.0
Currently, this small company had already invested in three projects!0
With so much material at hand, if they could find a dozen or so investable projects, that would really be striking gold.0
They all came from business backgrounds.0
This kind of investment was like letting others make money for them.0
It would be great if the investments succeeded, but even if they didn't, a round of funding wouldn't cost much.0
However, among them was a special collaboration proposal.0
It came from a welfare institute, hoping to cooperate with them.0
They wanted a few children to attend Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
This would make it easier for these children to be adopted.0
They could also do some appropriate promotion.0
The welfare institute was calling for public attention to vulnerable groups.0
When Shen Wei heard about this proposal, she asked Lin Rui to bring it out for her to look at.0
Lin Rui said, "It was just here, where did it go?"0
While they were searching high and low, Shen Wei's brain suddenly heard the system start to issue new tasks.0
"Please rescue antagonists number 4, 5, and 6."0
Shen Wei was somewhat surprised.0
Because previously, the system had always issued tasks one by one.0
Now, how come it was issuing so many at once?0
After such a long period of adaptation, Shen Wei had also noticed some patterns.0
Once the system notified Shen Wei to go rescue someone,0
It must be at a critical moment for the antagonist.0
Sure enough, it showed only 10 days rescue time.0
Then the system released the background of antagonists 4, 5, and 6.0
These few children all came from the welfare institute.0
Antagonist 4 was the oldest at fourteen years old. But his personality was too weak, and he was often bullied.0
In any environment, there exists evil.0
Antagonist 4 was bullied daily, and antagonists 5 and 6 also suffered along with him.0
This time, they were even falsely accused of theft and taken to the police station.0
But she knew that Starry Sky Kindergarten was a major guest for the welfare institute.0
Shen Wei had arrived early, and volunteers helped receive her.0
Soon, Shen Wei had looked through the materials here.0
Besides donations from caring people, there were also preferential policies given by higher departments.0
When the director arrived, Shen Wei asked, "What are the current difficulties of the welfare institute?"0
The director was a woman in her 60s, with a kind and gentle appearance.0
But perhaps due to having many worries, she looked 10 years older than her actual age.0
She originally wanted to say something roundabout, but swallowed her words as they reached her lips.0
She could only tell Shen Wei some real situations.0
After all, as the helm of Starry Sky Kindergarten, Shen Wei faced too many things every day.0
If she glossed over things, Shen Wei might not have the patience to listen.0
She could only be more sincere.0
The director auntie said, "Our biggest problem now is that we have too many children."0
Initially, the welfare institute only had over 60 children.0
Because of the support from higher departments, 95% of the children's medical expenses were covered by insurance when they got sick.0
Schooling was also free.0
Along with donations from caring people, it was completely sufficient.0
But the welfare institute had been on some TV shows, hoping to expand their influence a bit.0
As a result, their influence did expand, but difficulties also increased.0
Many people abandoned babies in front of the welfare institute.0
Many were girls, and there were also many sick children.0
In this way, they could pick up forty to fifty children a year.0
Every year there were new additions.0
This was a welfare institute, so even if they reported to the police, in cases where parents couldn't be found after investigation,0
The police would eventually send the children here to be raised.0
With more children came more issues.0
They needed more canteen aunties, cleaners, nursery teachers to look after the children, etc., all of which required money.0
Moreover, the social model has also changed now.0
In the past, if there were unmarried or childless people in a family, they would think of adopting a child to leave an heir.0
But now people would rather not have children and live their own exciting lives.0
Gradually, no one was adopting the children.0
Their model relied too heavily on charitable donations from society, and they were always running a deficit.0
Now they could only cooperate with some caring enterprises to make some handicrafts for the children to complete.0
To supplement a bit.0
But children are different from adults, and many products were wasted.0
So enterprises stopped cooperating with them.0
Now they really had no way out.0
This time contacting Starry Sky Kindergarten was entirely because of a volunteer.0
He was a fan of Starry Sky Kindergarten.0
He spoke these words. He made the proposal. The director sought help from higher-level leaders.0
Begged quite a few people, just to get this document delivered.0
