Chapter 1146: Surface Refusal
After Han Li finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately smiled. A large part of the funds and items of institutions like theirs come from donations from caring people in the society.
Even if there are many things that they don’t need at all, they will accept them all. These things can be transformed into money or things they want afterwards.
Therefore, no such institution will push away the money and goods that are delivered to the door, not to mention that Han Li is still under the banner of the Royal Hospital of England and King’s College Hospital of London.
These two places are well-known in the whole of England. People living in England may not know who the current prime minister is, but they must know these places starting with Royal.
To put it very realistically, the doctors in these places can contact all the top people in the whole of England.
The royal family members, dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen that ordinary people can only see on TV are often contacted by doctors in these places, and those with superb medical skills may even be their guests of honor.
Even if the doctors from these places did not bring supplies, this orphanage would treat them with the most enthusiastic attitude and the highest standards, and of course they would try their best to talk about the difficulties and pity.
If they could impress the other party, if he mentioned it a little when he returned to the hospital and chatted with those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, their orphanage might have a huge harvest.
Combining the above two points, the middle-aged man smiled like a flower, first shouted twice from inside, and then opened the door.
Han Li drove into the yard and felt something was wrong when he came to the front of the main house.
First of all, the atmosphere of this orphanage was very strange. The faces and behaviors of the several staff members who ran out of the house made them look like they were not good men and women.
In addition, except for the door of the living room and a few limited rooms, all other doors and windows that could see and lead to the outside of this villa were closed.
This looks like a detention center instead of a shelter.
Han Li was welcomed into the villa by the staff. There was a large living room at the entrance. According to the introduction of these people, the two rooms next to it were the activity room and reading room provided by the shelter for the children.
Han Li took a look and found that there was a very worn-out tape recorder and a table tennis table without a net in the so-called activity room.
There were some old sofas, tea machines, and chairs in the reading room. They were wiped clean, but the leather of the sofas had been worn out in many places.
There was a bookshelf in front of one of the walls, on which some books were placed sparsely.
There was a table in front of another wall, on which a TV was placed.
Han Li followed the person in charge through the two rooms and came to a reception room. The situation inside was a little better, but the things and furnishings inside were also old objects.
While the person in charge was posing difficulties, Han Li also knew that this was a mixed-sex orphan shelter.
The youngest child here is only three years old, and the oldest is 15 years old. In addition to providing them with food, clothing, and medical care, they also need to provide textbooks for those slightly older children who intend to go to school.
In short, they have a lot of expenses every day, and their lives are very difficult. If it weren't for the parliament giving a certain amount of funding every year, and some donations from caring people, they would have closed down long ago.
No matter how miserable the person in charge said, Han Li's heart did not fluctuate at all. As long as he thought of the Wanying Monuments, he wished that all these people would ascend to heaven on the spot.
When the person in charge mentioned the medicine, Han Li said that he had to personally see the children's physical condition before deciding what medicine to leave and how much to leave.
The person in charge said that this was what he should do, but he was not in a hurry to take Han Li to see the children here. Instead, he secretly pressed a button under the table.
The two chatted in the reception room for a long time, and Han Li learned some information about the origins of these children.
Some of them really had no parents, and some of them had parents who smoked leaves and ate flour and their families were broken up.
Some of them were sent here after being discovered by others because their parents followed the inheritance of the British royal family in some aspects. There were even more outrageous cases. Some parents, for money, actually
Not long after, the person in charge was hinted by other staff members, and he immediately turned the topic to the children here.
Han Li was not in the mood to listen to his miserable stories here, so he took the opportunity to suggest that the children be given a simple check, look at the living environment, and finally distribute medicine.
Next, Han Li followed the person in charge to the hall and saw the orphans adopted here. Most of them looked timid, but the older ones looked a little fierce.
However, these slightly older children should have been told before coming out, and everyone tried to smile on their faces, but these smiles looked fake.
Only those children around two, three, and four years old were hazy, and they couldn't hide their expressions even if others were teaching them.
When Han Li asked and checked, he ignored the scars of some children covered by their clothes.
Next, Han Li went to see where the children were staying. The rooms here were relatively clean and it was obvious that they had just been cleaned.
However, apart from the hygiene, the rest of the room is not worth mentioning. The older children all live in bunk beds made of welded iron pipes. Apart from the bed, there is only one table.
There are no unnecessary furnishings or hangings, no photos of children, no sofas, no mattresses, and some beds don't even have pillows.
There will be a sofa in the room where two or three-year-old children live. There are no dedicated personnel to take care of these young children. The slightly older children who enjoy the soft sofa in this room have to take on this task.
The windows in all rooms are sealed. In the words of the person in charge, this is to prevent the naughty children from accidentally falling and getting injured when they cannot take care of them.
The sealed windows gave the white sheets under the light an indescribable irony.
Han Li didn't show anything during the whole process, but the person in charge became a little unhappy when he saw that he only gave him two boxes of common medicines.
Of course Han Li noticed something strange about the other party, but he just said firmly.
"Don't be too little. The task given to me by the Royal College of Medicine and King's Hospital Renton this time is to see as many conditions as possible in nursing homes and children's hospices.
Your shelter is just my first stop. Without knowing other kindergartens and shelters, I can only give you these medicines.
In the end, the Royal College and the hospital will organize a fundraiser among "certain" groups of people based on the real situation I collected. At that time, there will not only be medicines, but also money and other materials.
I have also seen the situation in your shelter. If the final situation allows, I will try my best to help you in the report and try to help your shelter get more donations. "
Foreigners are just foreigners. They may not have many cultural allusions, and they don’t have much humanity from top to bottom, but when it comes to money, they react very quickly.
As soon as Han Li finished speaking, the trace of dissatisfaction on the person in charge's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a face full of flattery, and he pulled Han Li's arm and pointed at his watch.
"Dr. Han, you were so busy that you didn't even drink afternoon tea. It's almost six o'clock now. You said you have to have a meal with us before leaving."
Han Li: "No, it's not easy to walk on this road. I have to rush back to London before dark. Next time, I'll talk about it next time."
Person in charge: "It won't take long to have a meal. Besides, you can stay here when it gets dark. I will definitely arrange the most comfortable room for you."
In addition, doctors are a sacred profession. If you have time, you might as well tell the children who are interested in you what kind of efforts it takes to become a doctor. They will definitely be very happy to accept your teachings, period. "
When Han Li heard this, he almost guessed what the person in charge was going to say next. He waved his hand and directly interrupted the other person's next words.
"I'm so sorry. I can't get used to sleeping in other people's beds. I will do it next time if I have a chance."
Person in charge: "Doctor Han"
Han Li looked at the other party pulling his clothes with great disgust, and could only speak again.
"It's really too late today. How about I come over to your place before I hand in the materials?"
The person in charge heard what Han Li said and was just about to persuade him again when two cars stopped outside the gate in the distance and started honking their horns.
I don't know if it was because of the two cars that suddenly arrived. When other staff members ran over, the person in charge let go of Han Li's arm, took out a business card from his pocket and said.
"Then Dr. Han must come. You must call me before you come next time. I will definitely prepare a unique banquet for you then."
Han Li got into the RV he drove in and it had just started. The two cars had parked in the open space on the other side. Three middle-aged people got down from above and were talking to the staff here with obscene smiles on their faces. Saying something in a low voice.
Han Li just glanced at them lightly, waved to the person in charge and drove away from the orphanage.
The matter had not yet been clarified. Of course Han Li would not leave like this. He drove the car to a small slope and stopped.
Han Li sat in the back of the RV and made himself a cup of tea. He released two little owls and two snowy owls from the vast peach orchard and asked them to check out the shelter first.
Next, Han Li sat in the RV drinking tea and recording what he just saw. He didn't stop writing until nightfall.
