Chapter 16 Hidden Line of Defense

Lin Ting returned to the dormitory, put the membership application form and other information of the "Concentric Society" into a data belt, and dialed Wu Tongyu's mobile phone number.

"Hey! Hello! "Xiang. Lin Ting." Wu Tongyu saw that the caller was Lin Ting's name and said politely.

"Hello! Wu Tongyu, I'm back to school now. How about meeting at the school cafeteria later?

"Hmm! All right! "Scho, senior!"

Wu Tongyu hung up the phone, put away the book in her hand, left the dormitory, and walked towards the school cafeteria.

In the school cafeteria on weekends, only a few students are eating.

"Wu Tongyu, this way." Lin Ting shouted hello to Wu Tongyu, who had just entered the restaurant.

Wu Tongyu walked over with a smile.

"Hello! Mr. Lin Ting, are you here early?

"No, I just arrived, too. Wu Tongyu, you haven't eaten yet. It's my treat. What do you want to eat?

Wu Tongyu looked at Lin Ting with a sincere face. She was very affectionate. She thought for a moment, "Then eat beef noodles!"

"Good! I'll add a double portion of beef for you. You wait!"

"Ha ha!"

After a while, Lin Ting came over with two bowls of beef noodles with a smile.

"Se. Lin Ting, I~"

"Let's eat first! Let's talk about it when we're full." Lin Ting said with a smile.

"Hmm! That's good!" Wu Tongyu responded with a smile.

After a while, Lin Ting pulled out a tissue and handed it to Wu Tongyu, and then pulled out another mouth that had just finished eating.

"Hmm! I'm full! It's so comfortable!" Lin Ting patted his stomach and said with a smile.

Wu Tongyu giggled at Lin Ting's exaggerated movements.

"Gor, I'm full. Can we start talking about things?" Wu Tongyu said with a smile.

"Okay!"

"Son, senior, I have decided to join the 'Concentric Society'."

"I didn't expect you to make a decision so soon, or it made me happy. But I can't be happy too early. It's not too late for you to look at the disciplinary rules of the 'Concentric Society' before you decide. Lin Ting smiled and handed Wu Tongyu a manual.

"Gor, you don't have to read it. I already know it."

"Huh? Do you know all about it?"

"I have browsed the website of 'Concentric Society'."

"Oh, that's it!"

"Hmm! Yes! I have made up my mind to join the 'Concentric Society'. Wu Tongyu said firmly.

"Great, Wu Tongyu, I really didn't misread you." Lin Ting said excitedly.

In fact, Lin Ting has seen Wu Tongyu's profile before. He thinks that the children who come out of the orphanage should be more grateful and hard-working than other children.

Lin Ting handed Wu Tongyu a form, "Name, age, gender,..." Wu Tongyu filled it out carefully.

Wu Tongyu handed the completed form to Lin Ting.

"I didn't take the photo with me."

"It doesn't matter. When you have time, just make it up."

"There is also a proof of income. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

"Hmm! OK, no problem!"

Lin Ting took out another form and said, "Wu Tongyu, this form is the information of children in poor areas that need to be subsidized. Look, think about which child you want to subsidize?"

"Good!" Wu Tongyu took the form, studied it carefully for a while, and said to Lin Ting, "Se. Lin Ting, I want to subsidize the two children 'Zhuoma' and 'Dawa'."

Lin Ting unexpectedly looked at Wu Tongyu in front of him. He smiled and said, "Wu Tongyu, don't worry. Start with subsidizing a child. It can be increased slowly."

"Ps. Lin Ting, I've already thought about it." Wu Tongyu said and handed the 1,000 yuan subsidy that had already been prepared to Lin Ting.

"Psor, this is all earned by me working."

Lin Ting took over the 1,000 yuan from Wu Tongyu's hand and carefully recorded the name of Wu Tongyu, the sponsor, on the information of the two children, Zhuoma and Dawa. He was very excited, that is, he was happy for Wu Tongyu, and he was also happy for himself. The joy of his dream of resonating could not be described in words.

Wu Tongyu said to Lin Ting with a smile, "Shang Lin Ting, I have a question. I want to ask you. I don't know if it's appropriate?"

"Ask!"

"Why did you create a 'concentric society'?"

Lin Ting sorted out his thoughts and slowly told Wu Tongyu about his experience:

"Last summer vacation, I went to Tibet with the money given by my parents. I went to the Potala Palace and the Yarlung Zangbo River. I drew the beautiful scenery of Tibet with a brush, and I drew a lot of pictures. Inadvertently, I came to a small village. I painted men, women, old people and children there. I gave them the painted pictures, and they were very happy. They warmly invited me to my home as a guest. In the humble room, they took out the food to eat during the Spring Festival and served me. Although the food was not exquisite, it was already very luxurious for them. I asked the child what grade he was in, and I saw the ashamed eyes in the eyes of the child's parents. The family's income is only enough to maintain daily life. There is no extra money for children to go to school. Many children have not even read a book for a day.

At that time, my heart suddenly felt a ache. I swaggered with my parents' money, but the children here didn't even go to primary school for a day because they couldn't afford the tuition of 500 yuan. I'm ashamed of myself. 500 yuan is not a dress for children in the city today, eating and drinking at a time, but for the children here, it is a year's tuition.

This experience touched me deeply. When I came back from Tibet, I have been thinking about how to help the children there, so I have a plan to create a community to support children in poor areas. I began to collect information, formulate systems, and name the community. On September 10, 2006, the 'Concentric Society' was officially established. At that time, the "Concentric Society" was opposed and ridiculed by many people. People said that I was whimsical and unrealistic, and it didn't work at all in reality.

I also know that the system I have formulated is harsh, but if we can't be self-reliable, what's the right to help others? If we take our parents' money to fund it, what's the point for ourselves? Nowadays, children grow up in a rich environment. Their parents give them whatever they want, and they can't feel the taste of life at all. But we always have to grow up, and we can't snuggle up to our parents all our lives. I'm not so much helping children in poor areas as helping ourselves get rid of the barren spiritual world and low-level viability.

Lin Ting was a little excited when he spoke. He calmed down a little and continued:

"Everyone says that what I said is grand and unrealistic, but I don't think there is anything wrong with me. I know that the road I chose is pitted, full of ridicule and doubt, and there is no end to it. In fact, at the beginning, there were quite a lot of people who signed up, but many students in the middle chose to leave the club one after another. There are only five members who have persisted so far, including me. Lin Ting shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Se. Lin Ting, do you know how long a second is?" Wu Tongyu asked with a smile.

"Huh? In the blink of an eye!"

"One second can set a world record and change a lot of things. At the moment when you choose to start, time has begun to be timed, one second after another. Have you calculated it? How many seconds have you persisted? Wu Tongyu asked with a smile.

"Well, I really haven't calculated this!"

Wu Tongyu took out his mobile phone and calculated it carefully. After calculating, he took the mobile phone to Lin Ting's eyes.

"Look, senior Lin Ting, 34, 992,000 seconds! What a huge number. You have set a world record! And time is still going on. Maybe someone will join in one second!" Wu Tongyu said in surprise.

"Yes, in the last second, you came. Now our team has expanded to six people. What an auspicious number '6' is. It seems that you are the 'lucky star' of our community." Lin Ting said with a smile.

Wu Tongyu felt that he was lucky. When he was abandoned, he met Dean He, and now he met senior Lin Ting. Sen. Lin Ting took himself into another spiritual world, and the little inferiority complex in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Wu Tongyu did not feel inferior at all because of his origin and embarrassment, but felt that it was his own wealth. She can now confidently tell anyone that she has been an orphan since she was a child, washing dishes in a big hotel, and subsidizing children in poor areas to go to school.

Lin Ting looked at Wu Tongyu in front of him, and his slightly tender face was full of love for life, understanding of dreams, and the rare virtue of helping others.

Wu Tongyu said with a smile, "Shang Lin Ting, do you have any paintings in Tibet at that time?"

"Hmm! Yes, I still have a small part of it."

"Can I have a look?"

"Yes, of course, it's okay to give it to you. I left it at home and will bring it to you tomorrow."

"At home? Are you from here?"

"Hmm! Yes!"

"Then why do you still live in school?"

"If you continue to live at home, how can you take the lead for the 'Concentric Society'!" Lin Ting said with a smile.

"Hmm! That's right!"

"Yes! Wu Tongyu, what kind of part-time job are you doing?

"I'm washing dishes at the 'Chunjiang Hotel' near the school."

Lin Ting frowned and said, "I'll introduce you to some good part-time jobs some other day. It's not suitable for you to brush dishes."

"Then I'll thank senior Lin Ting first." Wu Tongyu said with a happy smile.

"You're welcome. We will be a 'family' in the future."

"Ha ha, yes!"

Lin Ting handed the badge of "Concentric Society" to Wu Tongyu, and the badge design was very exquisite. A fiery red heart was gently held by two hands, as if the sky used its wings to protect a young child, which made people feel warm and moved.

"What a beautiful badge!" Wu Tongyu exclaimed.

"Well, I designed it."

Wu Tongyu looked at Lin Ting with admiration and felt that he was worthy of being the champion of the national painting competition, and his artistic cells were so rich. Wu Tongyu proudly pinned the badge on his clothes.

After saying goodbye to Lin Ting, Wu Tongyu came to the "Chunjiang Hotel". After work, she returned to the dormitory and told her friends in the dormitory that she had joined the "Concentric Society" as soon as possible.

"What? Xiaoyu, did you really join in? Xiao Nan asked in surprise.

"What is the 'Concentric Society'? What do you do? Jiang Xinyi asked confusedly.

Wu Tongyu pointed to the "Tongxin Club" badge on his clothes and said, "Look."

"What is this?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

"The badge of 'Concentric Society'." Wu Tongyu said.

Just as Xiao Nan and Jiang Xinyi asked Wu Tongyu a series of questions, Chu Fei stood aside and looked at Wu Tongyu with a happy face expressionless.

What does the "Concentric Society" do? Chu Fei knows very well: What is the purpose of Wu Tongyu joining the "Concentric Society"? Is it the same as yourself? Did she also know Lin Ting's background? Wu Tongyu's own economic conditions are not good, and he still goes to subsidize others? Does she know the benefits behind the "Concentric Society"? However, looking at Wu Tongyu's rustic, I haven't heard of any special connections. It's not like a person who knows so many inside stories. But no matter what, I have to guard against her. After all, I know people and I don't know my heart.

Wu Tongyu looked at Chu Fei in a daze and said with a smile:

"What's wrong with our most lively and cute Chu Fei today? Why don't you talk?"

Chu Fei said with a smile in an instant, "Ha ha! Xiaoyu, I'm thinking about the movie I'm watching today!"

"She is thinking about the handsome man in the movie." Xiao Nan joked with a smile.

Chu Fei ignored Xiao Nan and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, why did you join the 'Concentric Society'!"

"Yo! Although she is standing in a daze, she can listen to every word!" Xiao Nan said.

"It's to help children in poor areas go to school."

"When did you join?"

"I joined today."

"Today?"

"Hmm! When I had dinner in the evening, I asked senior Lin Ting to join me. He also invited me to eat beef noodles.

"Seer Lin Ting said in the afternoon that he had something to do. It turned out that he went to see Wu Tongyu. It seems that Wu Tongyu is going to be the focus of prevention." Chu Fei thought to himself.

"Lin Ting is a 'ten thousand fans' in the hearts of girls in our school! I heard that from the seniors to the girls who have just entered school, they are all pursuing Lin Ting! Xiaoyu, why don't you take this opportunity to take him down?

Chu Fei pricked up her ears and listened carefully to Wu Tongyu's answer.

"Xiao Nan, what are you talking about! I'm not doing this. I'm just trying to help those poor children.

"What's the matter? We're all adults. Isn't it normal to fall in love?" Xiao Nan said.

"Huh! Have you ever been in love? Don't talk nonsense. Xiaoyu is just to help others, not as you think. Chu Fei looked at Xiao Nan and said.

Wu Tongyu nodded in agreement.

"What a romantic thing it is to promote a beautiful marriage!"

Chu Fei cursed Xiao Nan in her heart and quickly closed that stinky mouth.

"Do you know what romance is?" Chu Fei said angrily.

"Hey! You're looking for trouble again, aren't you? Be careful, I'll take care of you."

Chu Fei picked up "How Steel is Made" on the desk and knocked on Xiao Nan's head. Xiao Nan grabbed the weak Chu Fei and launched an attack, and the book in Chu Fei's hand fell to the ground.

Jiang Xinyi and Wu Tongyu looked at each other in constersinuum. They stood aside and did not fight, because they knew that the war would stop soon. Wu Tongyu picked up the book Chu Fei fell to the ground.

Sure enough, the war between Xiao Nan and Chu Fei ended with the exhaustion of their manpower.

"Chu Fei, your book just fell to the ground." Wu Tongyu said.

"Little rain, thank you!" Chu Fei said breathlessly.

"Can you lend it to me after reading it?"

"Yes, I can lend it to you now. Here you are, Xiaoyu, take it!"

"Huh? It seems that I just bought it. Don't you watch it?"

"Hmm! I didn't plan to watch it either.

"Hmm?"

Wu Tongyu took the book from Chu Fei's hand with some doubt, and couldn't wait to read it.
