Free Web NovelChapter 105: Chapter 105: Gold Medal Assistant Mei Lin
In the afternoon, Yun Zijin and her party finished their site inspection at 3:00 p.m.
However, after a long day of work, Yun Zijin felt it would be impolite to show up at Hongxing Orphanage looking so dusty and travel-worn. She suggested they first return to the hotel to freshen up and change into clean clothes before heading to the orphanage for dinner.
Lu Yunque and the others had no objections. After all, this was Yun Zijin’s home turf, so of course, they would follow her lead.
Back at the Jinsheng Hotel, Yun Zijin remembered she hadn’t completed her spending task for the day. She quickly contacted various sales associates on her phone and ordered a large number of items.
[Spending Task: Spend ¥3,000,000.00 before midnight tonight. Completed.]
[Task Reward: 3x rebate triggered. ¥9,000,000.00 has been deposited into the Host’s savings account. Reward: one exclusive Gold-Tier Assistant from Randomly Spend. Please check for receipt.]
A Gold-Tier Assistant!
Hearing this reward, Yun Zijin was instantly wide awake. This would solve her current dilemma of having no one reliable to delegate to.
Since she didn’t have anyone she trusted by her side, she always had to ask her bodyguards to handle things.
Each time, Yun Zijin felt like a heartless capitalist, paying them one salary to do the work of two or even more people.
’Randomly Spend! When will this assistant get here?’ freёwebnoѵel.com
Randomly Spend was silent, but just then, her phone rang.
Seeing the incoming call, Yun Zijin quickly answered. "Hello, Miss. This is your new assistant, Mei Lin. I am at the door to your room."
Yun Zijin hurried to open the door and was greeted by the sight of a beautiful, sophisticated woman in a pantsuit.
The moment she saw Mei Lin, her stats appeared before Yun Zijin’s eyes:
[Name: Mei Lin
Race: Mechanical Race
Gender: Female
Combat Power: Max
IQ: Max
Loyalty: 100% (Immutable)
Skills: To be discovered by the Host.]
"Mei Lin?"
"Yes, Miss."
Mei Lin had the appearance of a mixed-race woman, with deep-set features and blue eyes. If Yun Zijin hadn’t seen her race listed as Mechanical, she would have never guessed she was a robot.
"Please, come in! I need to freshen up for a moment. I hope you don’t mind waiting."
"Of course, Miss."
Mei Lin entered the room and, at Yun Zijin’s gesture, took a seat on the living room sofa.
Since Mei Lin was waiting, Yun Zijin didn’t want to take too long. She took a quick shower and was out in less than half an hour.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Zero One and his six men sitting face-to-face with Mei Lin. The atmosphere felt a little tense.
"Oh, you’re all here. Have you introduced yourselves?"
"We’ve already made our introductions. As for the matter of establishing the foundation, I will be taking charge of that from now on, Miss."
Mei Lin had taken over Zero One’s duties the moment she arrived.
"As long as you’ve sorted it out among yourselves, that’s fine. The important thing is to get the job done right."
Zero One had no objections. After all, his primary duty was to be a bodyguard. He had only been tasked with the foundation’s affairs because Yun Zijin had no one else available, forcing him into a role he wasn’t suited for.
Now that Mei Lin was here, it was only natural to let a professional handle professional matters.
"If there’s nothing else, let’s head downstairs and regroup. Mr. Lu and the others should be ready by now."
They had, after all, made plans to have dinner at Hongxing Orphanage tonight.
"Yes, Miss!"
The eight of them replied in unison.
Yun Zijin found their synchronized voices deafening.
However, remembering Mei Lin’s race, Yun Zijin asked with some uncertainty, "Mei Lin, we’re going out to eat soon. Are you able to eat the local food? Or do you need something else to replenish your energy?"
’She is from the Mechanical Race, after all. What if she can’t eat normal food and needs something like motor oil or gasoline for energy?’
"There’s no need to worry, Miss. I can convert ordinary food into the energy I require. There won’t be any issues."
’So she can eat regular food?’
That put Yun Zijin’s mind at ease.
"Then we’re all set. Let’s go!"
The sizable group of nine filed into the elevator and rode it down to the ground floor of the hotel.
Lu Yunque and the others were already waiting on the ground floor. Seeing Yun Zijin’s party arrive, they all rose from the sofas in the lounge area.
They were all a little surprised to see Mei Lin.
"This is..."
"This is my newly hired assistant, Mei Lin. From now on, she will be the point of contact for all matters concerning the orphanage."
Mei Lin gave a slight nod to Lu Yunque and the others by way of a greeting.
Except when interacting with Yun Zijin, Mei Lin’s personality was consistently reserved and aloof.
What was originally a party of sixteen had now become a party of seventeen. They took vehicles provided by the Jinsheng Hotel to the Hongxing Orphanage.
Upon their arrival, everyone at Hongxing Orphanage—adults and children alike—greeted them with great warmth and excitement.
Although they were a bit surprised to see a new face in Mei Lin, once Yun Zijin introduced her, they had no further questions.
Anyone brought by Yun Zijin was considered one of their own.
Liao Zhuxiu sat at the head of the table, her eyes crinkling into joyful crescents. "You all worked so hard today. I asked Zijin what kinds of food you enjoy and had Master Li prepare some dishes. I do hope they’re to your taste."
"It’s delicious. The cafeteria chef’s skills are excellent," Li Yuexing said, playing the part of a gracious guest, though he wasn’t lying.
The chef at Hongxing Orphanage was a veteran master who had been cooking for decades; his skills were truly impeccable.
"Sister Zi Jin, the matron said you’re going to build us a new house. Is that true?" a child asked during the meal.
Yun Zijin smiled. "That’s right. Soon, you’ll all be able to live in a bigger, more beautiful house. Are you happy about that?"
The question came from a child who looked to be under five years old. She had a cleft lip that somewhat marred her delicate features.
But from her innocent and carefree expression, it was clear she had been well-protected and hadn’t been treated poorly because of her condition.
’But the orphanage has money now,’ Yun Zijin thought. ’They should be able to schedule surgery for her.’
"Yes! I love big houses!"
The little girl’s eyes sparkled, and upon receiving Yun Zijin’s confirmation, her face lit up with a joy that was plain for all to see.
Watching the scene, Lu Yunque and the others felt a sense of warmth fill their hearts.
Truly, there was nothing in the world more healing than the innocence of a child.

The inspection of the undeveloped land was soon concluded. The construction team and bulldozers quickly moved into position, and the orphanage construction project began in full swing.
The design work undertaken by Lu Yunque and his associates also moved forward quickly.
To ensure fairness and transparency, Yun Zijin scheduled a specific time for a unified design presentation and voting session. The meeting was to be held at the offices of the Qingjin Charity Foundation, located on the 28th floor of the Dingsi Building.
In the conference room, Lu Yunque, Fu Ze, Sheng Hao, and Li Yuexing gathered, each accompanied by their assistants and a designer representing their respective groups, all bringing their blueprints.
"If you’re all ready, you may begin."
Although it was called a pitch, it required a detailed explanation of each design concept and architectural plan.
The first person to stand was the designer from the Li Group.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Dong Xinbo, a representative from the Li Group’s design department..."
As Dong Xinbo stepped forward, Li Yuexing’s assistant distributed the relevant materials to Yun Zijin, Lu Yunque, Fu Ze, Sheng Hao, and Li Yuexing.
