Bai Lu and Luofeng were still in their usual spot, the corner of the cafeteria.

In front of Luofeng, Bai Lu remained as shy and bashful as before, or perhaps just lacking in confidence.

In Bai Lu’s heart, she always felt she wasn’t a match for Luofeng. Just maintaining their current relationship and seeing Luofeng occasionally was already very satisfying for her.

"Bai Lu, how are your driving lessons going?" Luofeng didn’t immediately bring up the foundation’s matters.

If he started with work matters right away,

it might come off as too business-like, keeping people at a distance.

Bai Lu said, "I’ve passed the first test and am currently learning the second module. I’ve had two practice sessions already!"

"How does it feel to actually handle the car?" Luofeng asked.

"It’s not as difficult as I imagined. Compared to programming and applications, it’s much simpler!" Bai Lu replied.

Luofeng felt a bit sweaty.

Seems like, apart from Bai Ningbing,

for other girls, learning to drive is really easy?

Alright, thinking about that Long-legged Campus Belle learning to drive, Luofeng really gets a bit of headache.

But although she’s not good at driving, she’s quite gifted at horseback riding.

*Cough, cough, cough...*

"By the way, during the Labor Day holiday, White Wing Supermarket needs to go to your hometown to stock up. Are you planning to visit home then?" Luofeng asked.

White Wing has always been purchasing potatoes from there.

Bai Lu hesitated and didn’t answer.

Luofeng continued, "During the Labor Day holiday, give yourself a break for a few days and go back home to see how things have changed?"

The Bai Family Village has indeed changed quite a bit now.

Since Wuyang Potatoes from there have been supplied to White Wing,

they’ve started expanding the cultivation of Wuyang Potatoes.

Free-Range Chickens are also being bred in large numbers.

Moreover, White Wing sends people to buy directly, and the prices are very fair. The villagers of Bai Family Village have seen their income rise by nearly three times compared to before.

And the level of hard labor is much lower than before.

Another change is that the Hope Primary School that Luofeng promised has also been built.

And it’s already in use.

Bai Lu’s mother, Baihua, has become the school’s only teacher for now.

Students from several surrounding mountain villages have already come to attend classes.

The furthest have to walk ten kilometers.

But they don’t need to walk daily, as the school provides boarding.

They only need to go home once a week.

Bai Lu actually knows about these changes because Bai Lu’s mother received a graphene version mobile phone from Luofeng, and the mother and daughter often chat.

Now that Luofeng suddenly mentioned letting Bai Lu go back for a visit, Bai Lu’s mind started wandering back to that distant and backward mountain mist.

She really misses that place.

"But!" Bai Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "But the Animal Foundation is currently encountering some troubles. During Labor Day, there should be even more issues to handle!"

"What trouble? Is it still the criticism from those posts?" Luofeng asked.

"Yes, those people are really excessive!" Bai Lu said, "Also, we received some in-kind donations, which need to be processed!"

"Oh? How many donations have we received?" Luofeng asked out of curiosity.

"We have received over a hundred packages, including cat food, Public Display of affection, cat litter, cat and dog toys, and some common cat and dog medications!" Bai Lu said, "We need to take photos of all these and publish them!"

Luofeng slightly frowned and asked, "Have you calculated the value of these items?"

"Not yet, but I estimate it to be between five thousand and seven thousand yuan!" Bai Lu said.

Luofeng couldn’t help but make complaints, "So how many people are you planning to leave behind during Labor Day to handle this inventory work?"

"There are quite a lot of items. We plan to have five people work together, taking photos and counting the items for ten hours, and then spend another 10 hours publishing them, along with updating the photos on our website!" Bai Lu said.

It seems like an easy task.

But actually doing it in detail is indeed quite complex.

After all, if one person donated all these packages, you just need to take a photo and record their name.

But with over a hundred packages possibly coming from seventy to eighty kind people, taking and publishing photos becomes very complicated.

But no matter how complex, it needs to be recorded and published.

Luofeng felt a sense of disproportionate effort to reward.

A whole five people, spending 20 hours, doesn’t that take into account human resources?

"Student Bai Lu, I think you could approach this differently!" Luofeng said, "We could amend the donation terms, requiring donors to register their information during the donation. For online shopping donations as an example, we would ask them to register the courier number, purchase screenshot, corresponding product list, order value, purchasing channel, etc. This way, the registration would complete all your work, eliminating the need for additional stats!"

"If it’s not an online shopping donation, then we add a restriction: no handmade cat or dog food, or unidentified products!" Luofeng added.

First, to avoid problems with handmade cat or dog food.

Secondly, in this way, there’s no need for statistics.

Since they provide a purchase list, it’s concrete, what else needs counting?

Bai Lu hesitated and said, "Being so strict, wouldn’t it make donors unhappy? What if they stop donating?"

"If they don’t donate, they don’t donate! What else can we do?" Luofeng said, "As for handmade cat and dog food, apart from counting, we also need to conduct safety checks on these, wasting even more human resources! So we absolutely can’t accept them!"

Luofeng even thought of saying, just throw them away and place orders oneself, which is more economical than wasting human resources.

"This way, although it reduces some donations, it also reduces the waste of human resources and lowers daily operational costs!" Luofeng said.

After all, donations are to help the Animal Foundation.

But if they create trouble for the Animal Foundation instead, then why accept them?

Thinking from another perspective, why don’t orphanages accept unidentified products or handmade food donations?

Should they test them with silver needles for poison first if you donate them?

How troublesome is that?

So it’s normal for them to only accept product donations.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you some good news!" Luofeng suddenly said, "Our Fengshun Investment will donate one billion to the foundation to support its rapid expansion!"
