Chapter 169: Happy New Year

“I’ll go back and draw up a plan. I’ll show it to you when it is ready.” Han Qi adjusted his glasses.

“That’s great.” The director was so excited that she didn’t know what to say. She could only hold Shen Hanxing’s hand tightly and enthusiastically said, “Thank you so much.”

At noon, the dumplings that Ji Ning had ordered were delivered. In addition to the food for the children, there were two hot pots placed at the entrance of the orphanage. The water boiled, and the white and fat dumplings rolled into the pot. Soon, the fragrance filled the air. Many passersby were attracted by the smell. Shen Hanxing gave them a bowl of hot dumplings each. Then she said to them with a bright smile, “Happy new year.”

Each passerby was given a small number of dumplings, only about five or six dumplings per bowl. However, in the cold weather, eating a bowl of hot dumplings was very delicious. Especially when the dumplings had a thin crust and a big filling, and the minced meat inside was fresh and tender.

After one bite of the dumpling, the heat spread from the stomach and warmed their limbs and bones.

The dumpling place that Ji Ning had booked was a famous private restaurant in S City. It was very pricey, but because of its good taste, the restaurant was full every day and the dumplings sold out very quickly. When the people who were somewhat food connoisseurs received the dumplings, they quickly took a photo and shared it on social media. Their post attracted a lot of likes.

The tabloid reporters rushed to Angel Orphanage to try and sneak in, wanting to take pictures and write some newsworthy articles. Shen Hanxing noticed the flash not far away. She paused her movements but did not go forward to stop it. After all, she was not doing anything shameful, so it was okay for them to take a photo.

“Sister-in-law, let me help!” Ji Qian, who had been playing with the children and was covered in sweat, hopped over and took the spoon with a smile. “How do you want me to do it? Please teach me, Sister-in-law!”

Ji Qian had been pampered since she was young and had never entered the kitchen before. She held the spoon carefully and her eyes were filled with curiosity, as though she was afraid that the spoon would accidentally fly away.

“Stir the dumplings in the clockwise direction when they are in the pot. Don’t let them stick to the pot,” Shen Hanxing smiled and pointed. “When the dumplings float up, this means that it’s cooked.”

This task was simple and Ji Qian quickly got the hang of it. She nimbly handed out the dumplings to the passersby. The beautiful girl was full of energy. When she handed the hot bowl of dumplings to the passersby, she even gave them a sincere smile and an energetic “Happy new year”. It was very heartwarming.

The paparazzi took advantage of this moment and pressed the shutter. He even said to his companion, “This Ji family is very approachable. They don’t have the arrogance of a rich family at all.” As paparazzi, they had seen a lot of people. So they could immediately tell whether the Ji family members were sincere or putting on an act. They couldn’t help but feel a little admiration for them.

At this moment, a pair of fair and perfect jade-like hands appeared in front of his eyes. In her hand was a bowl of steaming hot dumplings. “You guys still have to come out to work during the holidays. It must be tough. Have a bowl of dumplings,” Shen Hanxing smiled gently. “You all should go back after you’re done taking pictures. The weather is too cold.”

These two reporters must have rushed out after receiving the news. They were not wearing many layers of clothing and had been stomping their feet in the same spot due to the cold.

Paparazzi reporters had always been hated by people. The paparazzi reporters were also used to being hated. When they were caught secretly taking photos, they would even be scolded a couple of times. This was the first time they felt the warmth from someone they followed to take pictures. The paparazzi could not help but be stunned. He stammered, “This... this is for us?”

“Yes,” Shen Hanxing nodded and acted as if it was something natural. “If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can go over to get some dumplings soup later to warm your body. Happy new year.” Her attitude was normal, she did not act differently when she faced both ordinary passersby and the paparazzi. She treated both groups warmly and kindly.

The paparazzi held the dumplings in their hands in a daze. They did not know how to react for a while. After a long while, they finally replied, “Okay, I also wish you a happy new year.”

Shen Hanxing left after giving them the dumplings. She did not take this occasion to heart. At this moment, an old man with white hair, glasses, and a scholarly appearance led a group of young students from the street and walked over. “What are they doing? Why are there so many people?”

Behind him, a student stood on tiptoe curiously. Then, the student volunteered, “Teacher, I’ll go and have a look!”
