00:00The young girl, in order to save money, ate only the free plane ride from the school cafeteria every day.
00:04That day, school officials were accompanying a wealthy businessman and a television crew who had come to promote the institution.
00:09When they discovered that a student at such a prestigious school lived in such poverty,
00:13the journalists, astonished, asked her why she ate so simply.
00:16Frightened, the girl hurriedly searched her bag for money, nervously repeating that she had always believed the meals were free.
00:21The businessman then asked why she hadn't applied for financial aid for underprivileged students.
00:25But in tears, she explained that she had never dared to compete with her class representative for that assistance.
00:30The businessman immediately regretted investing in the school.
00:33At that moment, the journalist noticed a medal pinned to the girl's jacket.
00:36With her permission, they examined it.
00:38And as soon as the businessman, who had once been a police officer, saw it, he turned pale with shock.
00:42It was a first-class military merit medal, a legacy from her grandfather.
00:46Recognizing it instantly, he bowed before her.
00:48Because the show was broadcast live, an old man watching from home also recognized the medal.
00:52It belonged to his former superior, who had received it 18 years ago.
00:55He had been visiting the temple daily ever since, hoping to one day meet his superior's descendants and look after
01:01them.
01:01He never imagined that the granddaughter of such a hero was living in misery.
01:04He immediately ordered his grandson to take him to her.
01:07In truth, not only had her grandfather been an illustrious man, but her parents had also perished in an earthquake
01:11while saving townspeople.
01:13Furious, the businessman threatened the school administration that unless the girl was granted an immediate scholarship, he would shut the
01:18institution down.
01:19However, her jealous classmates, envious of her excellent academic results, had long been plotting to expel her.
01:25Now that a powerful patron was protecting her, they accused her of hypocrisy, saying she ate only free rice just
01:31to gain pity.
01:31The journalist found the argument plausible and even asked why.
01:34If she was so poor, she didn't work to support herself.
01:37What they didn't know was that she had been working daily as a cafeteria waitress.
01:40Just the day before, however, not only had the manager fired her, but he had also confiscated an entire year's
01:46salary, claiming she had offended the daughter of a wealthy figure.
01:48That girl, pretending to be generous, declared she would compensate her by bringing ten large loaves of bread and three
01:54dishes, demanding the poor girl clean every plate to the last crumb.
01:58As the businessman was about to intervene, the arrogant heiress declared that anyone who dared oppose her would be driven
02:03out of the city.
02:03She even threatened the young girl by mentioning her parents' graves, reminding her that the land belonged to her family.
02:08Terrified at the thought that her deceased parents might not rest in peace, the girl swallowed her tears and endured
02:14the humiliation.
02:15The old man, witnessing the scene, boiled with rage and wanted to rush to her rescue immediately.
02:19But when the girl could no longer eat and refused, the heiress continued to insist.
02:23The businessman tried to reason with her, but she accused him of having an affair with the student and, in
02:28her arrogance, even slapped him.
02:30Enraged, he threatened to call the police, but the school administrators stopped him.
02:33It was then revealed that the arrogant girl was none other than the daughter of a powerful businessman.
02:37Stunned, the patron dared not react further and quickly apologized, while the television crew quietly withdrew.
02:43Exhausted and with her stomach aching for being forced to eat too much, the young girl could barely endure any
02:48longer.
02:49Still unsatisfied, the heiress ordered her friends to force-feed her again.
02:52But she did not realize that at that very moment, the richest man in the city and the old soldier
02:56who had come to protect her had just arrived at the cafeteria door.
02:59And she did not have to take her.
