530 A New Day
The next day was Sunday, but Chu Ning woke up very early.
She still had something important to handle that day.
At around seven o’clock in the morning, Chu Ning, Zhang Bo, and Chu Yuen were seated in the living room having breakfast. Zhang Bo had slept there the previous night. Chu Ning’s villa had seven or eight bedrooms. She had wanted to bring the Chu family over to live together, but most of her brothers were not at home.
Bai Hong had a new mission. He had to personally recruit a group of bodyguards, train them, and secretly protect the safety of the family members.
“Sis, are you saying that you want me to introduce you to those homeless people?” Chu Yuen drank his soy milk and looked at Chu Ning in confusion.
“Is there a problem? Anyway, you like to run around when you have nothing to do. You should know a lot of such people, right?” Chu Ning asked with a smile as she took a bite of the fried dough stick.
“I know them. I’ll take you to see them after breakfast.” Chu Yuen looked at Chu Ning strangely. He still didn’t understand what Chu Ning was going to do next.
Zhang Bo simply ate his breakfast with his head lowered. He, too, didn’t know what Chu Ning was going to do.
He was unaware of what had happened in the manor the night before. At that time, Zhang Bo thought that Chu Ning was going on a date with Yan Shen, so he had deliberately walked far away.
“Do these vagrants have any special skills? Tell me,” Chu Ning continued.
“This group of homeless people is actually not simple. They exist in social circles. People with similar interests will gather together. There are many gathering spots for homeless people in M City.” Chu Yuen’s interest was piqued.
“Elaborate on what you mean,” Chu Ning continued.
“Most of these vagrants are from other places. There are very few locals, so the vagrants are roughly divided into two groups — one consists of non-locals, while the others are locals. They are only divided by region.
“Some of the homeless have many skills. They know a little art, painting, and even sculpture, although I can’t appreciate it. There are also some who can sing. They seemed to be called a rock band. They act as though they are very powerful and said that they are very famous, but in fact, their singing is terrible. Of course, most of them are lazy. The reason why these people wander is not only because of their own misfortune, but more so because of their laziness. They will work for a day and earn enough to lie in bed for a few days. However, a small number of them are really pitiful.”
Chu Huan vividly described what he had seen and heard in the past few days. Chu Ning was interested, and this made him feel that he was useful.
“President Chu, why do you care about these groups?” Zhang Bo finally couldn’t help but ask.
“I have a use for them. It’s related to the abandoned industrial park,” Chu Ning said softly.
“What? What abandoned industrial park?” Chu Yuen asked curiously.
“Eat well. Children shouldn’t be nosy.” Chu Ning glanced at Chu Yuen.
After breakfast, Chu Ning asked Chu Yuen to bring her to the first gathering place for the homeless.
During summer, the daily temperature variation in M City was not very large, so it was completely fine to sleep under the bridge. However, there were many mosquitoes in summer, especially in the open air environment, which was very dirty.
This situation lasted until winter, when the real test of the homeless would come. Many would freeze to death because they did not have enough clothes and warmers to withstand the cold.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen homeless people going about their day in front of Chu Ning. They had set up a basic iron pot and used firewood that they had collected from somewhere to simply cook some food.
When they saw Chu Ning and Chu Yuen walking over from afar, these people immediately looked around curiously as if they had discovered something new.
“Sis, I brought you to this place where the homeless gather. They’re quite high-quality. Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble if you come here rashly with your looks,” Chu Yuen whispered.
Chu Ning had once fascinated his ‘buddy’ in his hometown. He did not want to encounter such an embarrassing thing again.
“I can see that they are at least working hard.” Chu Ning nodded.
These people even knew to eat in the morning. Chu Ning also saw that they had built no-frills iron huts along the walls under the bridge. The area was less than two square meters. That should be where they slept and stored their daily necessities.
