"Until one day, a year later, we suddenly received a message."
"It said that you, you little brat, climbed someone's persimmon tree in the middle of the night to steal persimmons, were discovered, slipped, and fell headfirst."
"We were shocked and rushed you to the hospital."
"The doctor said you hit your head and suffered a concussion."
"He said that you might be completely fine, or you might develop many abnormalities."
"Dizziness, nausea, tinnitus, vomiting."
"Even amnesia is one of them."
"Fortunately, your body was quite good at the time. Apart from some trauma to your brain, nothing else was wrong."
"But it's strange."
"When I saw you, your first reaction was to take out an intact persimmon from your pocket and ask me to give it to Ling'er."
"Only after I took the persimmon from your hand and nodded at you did your eyes suddenly go black, and you collapsed onto the hospital bed."
"I really don't know what force was supporting you at that time."
"You know, Ling'er had only been at the orphanage for a short time then."
Thinking back to that night, the matron felt a chill of fear.
The old persimmon tree back then was much taller than it is now. If it weren't for Qin Xuan's luck, falling headfirst from the persimmon tree could have killed him!
However, it was precisely because of Qin Xuan's actions at that time that she decided to let Ling'er take the surname Qin.
In their future interactions, she also told Qin Ling'er to treat Qin Xuan as her own brother.
"However, that accident wasn't without its benefits."
"From then on, your temper visibly improved."
"Although you were still mischievous, you got along with everyone."
"Even the little brats you beat up before became your good friends."
"So my temper was that bad before?"
After hearing the matron's account, Qin Xuan murmured softly.
Because in recent days he had noticed that his temper had become much more volatile than before.
This was especially true after Xiao Ya was kidnapped.
So it wasn't that he had suddenly changed, but that he had returned to his old temper?
At this thought, Qin Xuan couldn't help but frown.
The matron exclaimed even more dramatically, "Oh my, it wasn't just bad, it was downright brutal!"
"If anyone displeased you even slightly, you would go all out to kill them."
"Otherwise, why do you think Lin Mu and the others, who have such good tempers, don't play with you?"
Qin Xuan felt very guilty after hearing the matron's words. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
They were all friends he had grown up with, and he naturally knew everyone's temperament and disposition.
Lin Mu was not only dull-witted but also had the best temper among all his companions.
If even he didn't think highly of him at the time, one could imagine how bad his temper was.
"It seems that if I have the chance in the future, I should apologize to them..."
"How about this, Matron?"
"In a few days, my newly invested orphanage will open. How about you invite Lin Mu and the others back in your capacity as the old matron?"
"We haven't gotten together in a long time, and I can take this opportunity to apologize to them."
"That's a great idea!"
Upon hearing Qin Xuan's words, the matron's eyes lit up.
After leaving the orphanage, many children were busy making a living and didn't have the chance to come back.
It was very rare for someone like Qin Ling'er to return whenever she had free time.
If there was an opportunity to see her former children, she, as their "old parent," would naturally be overjoyed.
"It's a pity that it's almost the end of the year. Even if they want to come back, I'm afraid not many will have the time..."
After her initial joy, the matron sighed softly.
As she said, the end of the year was the busiest time for most occupations.
Therefore, even if the children were willing, they couldn't neglect their busy livelihoods just to come back for a reunion.
Qin Xuan saw the matron's disappointment and immediately said, "Then how about this?"
"For anyone who needs to take leave to come back, I will personally subsidize double their salary. If it involves the cancellation of bonuses or year-end bonuses, I will also compensate double."
"Without the economic worries, I think most people who aren't too busy would be happy to come back."
"As for those who are out of town, I can cover all their travel and accommodation expenses."
"How can this be?!"
When the matron heard this, she quickly waved her hand.
"When you were here, there were at least dozens of people in the orphanage. The salary subsidies alone would be a considerable sum."
"Not to mention that in companies nowadays, bonuses are often tied to full attendance. How much money would that take?"
It was impossible not to be tempted by Qin Xuan's proposal.
After all, having been an orphanage matron for so many years, every child was like her own.
Qin Xuan was no exception.
So, as a parent, how could the matron let her child spend money recklessly?
Qin Xuan knew the matron's concerns. He stood up, poured her another cup of water, and then said gently, "Oh, don't worry about the money."
"I won't say much, but I can afford this much money."
"Have you forgotten?"
"Just renovating our orphanage and establishing a new one, I spent several million."
"This little bit won't make a difference."
"What won't make a difference?" The matron took the teacup and gave Qin Xuan a sideways glance.
"I know you've become successful and earned a lot of money, but even so, you can't just spend it whenever you get a chance."
"Otherwise, when..."
"When you get sick, encounter problems, and need money, you'll be in a bind, right~"
Before the matron could finish her sentence, Qin Xuan directly finished it for her.
Then, without another word, he opened his mobile banking and showed her his balance.
The matron, confused, took the phone and tilted her head back slightly, squinting her eyes. "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... ten millions, hundred millions, billions?!"
"So much money, where did you get it???"
"You spend money so lavishly, did you rob a bank!"
Qin Xuan's face was covered in black lines. He looked at the exaggerated old lady in front of him and said exasperatedly, "Have you ever seen a bank robber deposit money into a bank?"
"Besides, with my identity, how could I do such a thing?"
"Your identity?"
"Yes, don't you know?"
"I am now the youngest general in our Dragon Country. Many people online recognize me!"
Seeing the online encyclopedia, the matron felt her brain couldn't keep up.
Becoming a general at 26, with the endorsement of the state, was an honor not easily obtained.
"Good!"
"The brat from before has actually risen to become a high-ranking military officer for the entire country."
"Now, even if I die tomorrow, I won't have any regrets."
Returning the phone to Qin Xuan, the matron's eyes instantly turned red.
As a mother, nothing could be more comforting than her child's success.
It was just a pity that she wasn't good with the internet and had always stayed at the orphanage, so she hadn't heard any related news.
Otherwise, she would have immediately sent Qin Xuan congratulations and wished him success in becoming a pillar of the nation!
