Entering the gate of 22 Phelps Street, Audrey immediately saw Dwayne Dantès coming out of the side corridor.
This gentleman, with a good appearance and fine manners, was dressed in a black formal suit, holding a gold-inlaid cane, and was talking to the foundation staff member beside him.
As if sensing Audrey's gaze, Dwayne Dantès naturally turned his head and looked towards the door, then his eyes brightened slightly, as if in admiration or at the sight of treasure, after which he smiled and nodded slightly in greeting.
Audrey responded with a flawless polite smile, nodded, and followed the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" staff member who had come to greet her, walking up the stairs to the second floor.
During this process, although she did not look in that direction again, both her feminine intuition and her instinct as a "Spectator" told her that Dwayne Dantès's gaze was secretly following her figure until it was blocked by the wall on the side of the stairs.
"Impeccable acting! He fully exhibited the reaction a gentleman who lacks resistance to beautiful women but is sufficiently cultured and cultivated should have when encountering me for the second time, as if we really only met once at the last charity gala… This is no different from what I imagined; he can even make his eyes suddenly light up…
"Is this a technique from his Beyonder pathway, or is it an ability he himself possesses? I have to say, Gehrman, um, I should say Mr. Gehrman Sparrow, is a professional, no, an outstanding actor, and not as exaggerated as some theatrical performers…" Audrey thought approvingly, and then saw several newspaper reporters waiting on the second floor to interview about the establishment of the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund.
She was not a noble lady who liked to have her picture in the newspaper, so she had her accompanying valet go over and inform them, on behalf of
—Earl Hall was friends with the owners of several newspapers and had made corresponding investments, holding many shares; if Audrey wished, she could exchange some of her property for a considerable newspaper.
In the VIP lounge, Audrey, feeling that this occasion was not suitable for bringing the dog, greeted the noble children, children of the wealthy, and relatives of church clergy she knew, and habitually found a seat with a view of the entire venue, sitting down to wait for the official start of the establishment ceremony and the first board meeting.
She looked around and said to the female worker responsible for receiving her: "Lovisa, this is my first time participating in the actual operation of a charitable organization; I really want to know what we should do?"
The lady called Lovisa was under thirty, had golden hair as well, her skin seemed rather rough with many sun spots, but her smile was very sunny and her affability quite strong.
Hearing Audrey's question, Lovisa unreservedly explained: "The current preliminary plan is: not to rush to expand, focus on
Lovisa had just said this when a very magnetic male voice interjected: "I have two suggestions: First, organize personnel today to go to various Sunday schools, night schools, and public elementary schools to publicize, because June is the exam season, the critical period for entering higher-level schools. If our efficiency is not high enough, there will definitely be many students from families with financial difficulties who give up the exams due to monetary reasons; even if they later learn of the existence of the student aid fund, they cannot afford the loss of a wasted year, thus losing the chance to change their destiny. What we do seems simple, but it truly affects the lives of one child after another, so we must start as soon as possible and not waste time."
The speaker was Dwayne Dantès, who had just come upstairs and entered the lounge; he expressed his thoughts with a gentle but earnest expression.
"Oh right, June is exam season… I completely forgot about this… Mr. Dwayne Dantès actually noticed such a detail… Is he actually a very gentle-hearted person?" Audrey suddenly gained a new understanding of Dwayne Dantès, of Gehrman Sparrow.
This was the gain of a "Spectator" from just now.
"A cold-looking killer and adventurer actually has a gentle heart? Unfortunately, the intelligence about Gehrman Sparrow that I can currently access only describes his madness, with no way to confirm…" Audrey blinked and listened attentively as Dwayne Dantès continued: "Second suggestion, the student aid funds disbursed should preferably be placed in corresponding bank accounts. When paying tuition, bring the supporting documents to us to go through the withdrawal procedures. For small food or accommodation expenses, it doesn't need to be so troublesome; withdraw a fixed amount once a month or once a week. This is to prevent the applicants' parents, brothers, sisters from taking that money; for a poor family, this is an irresistible temptation. Similarly, one account per person, regardless of the withdrawal method, the person must be present. This can effectively prevent everyone from often falling into the temptation of greedy demons."
Klein said this, put his hand on his chest, and said to Audrey and Lovisa: "Sorry, forgive me for impulsively joining your conversation."
Audrey smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Dantès, your suggestions are very good; they made me realize that I have too many aspects that I didn't consider fully. The only problem is, it means nothing to say these things to us—I'm just listening to Ms. Lovisa explain the situation."
Lovisa also smiled and said: "Yes, you should talk about these things at the first board meeting later."
