Chapter 391 - 391 100 Million!
391 100 Million!
“You’re just guests to begin with. I should make tea to entertain you.”
“Yes, thank you, Director Zheng.” Chen Yun did not hold back.
“You don’t have to hold back with me. It’s my duty.”
Director Zheng did not dawdle. He turned around and hurriedly walked to the place where the water dispenser was placed. Then, he began to take out disposable cups to make tea.
“Liu Fei, tell me first. How much do you plan to donate to the flood in Fengling Province this time?” Bai Cheng did not pay attention to Director Zheng and had already started talking about serious matters.
“Me?” Liu Fei frowned and said, “I might not be able to donate too much. I can’t be compared to a big boss like you, CEO Bai.”
“Tell me, why are you saying this?” Bai Cheng immediately put on a displeased expression and said, “To be able to help Fengling Province with your heart is worthy of respect. Why are you talking so much?”
“Director Zheng just said not to compare. As long as you do your best, it’s fine.”
“Alright, I’ll say it then.” Liu Fei no longer hesitated and said in a low voice, “I’ll donate money directly. I’ll donate a million yuan. Later, I’ll directly call the Fengling Red Cross Society with this money and let them take this money to buy what they need for the fellow villagers in the disaster area.”
“Yes, you’ve donated quite a lot.” Bai Cheng looked at Liu Fei in admiration. “With a million yuan, they can do a lot of things in the disaster area.”
“Thank you for your praise, CEO Bai.” Liu Fei did not have much of a smile on his face. He said, “In the future, if I, Liu Fei, can be more promising, I will definitely bear more responsibility for my fellow countryman in Fengling Province.”
“But now, I really can only take out a million yuan. I feel powerless to take out another hundred thousand yuan.”
“Don’t be like this, Liu Fei.” Bai Cheng patted his shoulder and comforted him. “A million yuan is already a lot. It’s not little at all. Really.”
Liu Fei nodded and did not say anything else.
“Old Tang, it’s your turn now.” Bai Cheng turned his gaze to the middle-aged man on his left and said, “How much are you planning to donate? Tell me.”
“I can’t donate much either.” The man called Tang Gang said, “Just like Liu Fei, I can only donate a million yuan. In our steel industry, there are too many debts. The money is basically outside.”
“We can only use about a million yuan.”
“Alright, as long as you have the intention to do so.” Bai Cheng also patted Tang Gang’s shoulder to comfort him.
Then, right on the heels of that, he looked at the woman he liked to see the most.
It was Jiang Yun.
Then, the smile on his face clearly became even more enthusiastic as he said, “Miss Jiang, it’s your turn now. How much do you plan to donate to Fengling Province?”
“Because I’m in the food industry, I plan to donate supplies directly.” Jiang Yun was not so unrestrained. She said frankly, “I can provide two million yuan worth of mineral water and drinks to the villagers in the disaster area.”
“Recently, we’ve also put up new food on the shelves. They’re snacks. There are many types, such as spicy strips, crunchy rice, chicken feet, duck neck, and so on.”
“Furthermore, if the children of Fengling see these snacks, I believe that they will definitely like them very much.”
“Therefore, I plan to donate these snacks and supplies worth two million yuan.”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, Bai Cheng raised his hands and clapped hard.
One after another, every clap was very loud.
“As expected of the founder of the Master Kong Food Company. She offered six million yuan in supplies.” Bai Cheng only had Jiang Yun in his eyes. He smiled kindly and said, “Miss Jiang just said that you didn’t earn much money. You’re really too humble.”
“CEO Bai, you flatter me,” Jiang Yun replied in a low-key manner. “In the end, I’m just a businesswoman selling small goods. I still can’t compare to a real estate tycoon like you, CEO Bai.”
“That’s too much…” Hearing this, Bai Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, “I, Bai Cheng, am only fooling around in second-tier cities in the country. I can’t afford the title of a real estate tycoon.”
“The real real tycoons should be the Sacred Heaven Corporation, Yida Corporation, and the others.”
“These real estate companies have set up branches all over the country. Every city has houses built by them. Their total assets are also worth hundreds of billions.”
“Call them real estate tycoons. That’s what they really deserve.”
This time, Bai Cheng was not deliberately pretending to be low-key. He really felt that way from the bottom of his heart.
After all, his company was only worth tens of billions, but others were worth hundreds of billions. It was more than ten times more than his.
Therefore, how could he be compared to those real estate tycoons?
“Let’s not talk about those topics.” Jiang Yun’s voice sounded again. She said to Bai Cheng, who was sitting opposite her, “Next, CEO Bai, let’s talk about yourself. How much do you plan to donate?”
Even if Jiang Yun didn’t ask, Bai Cheng would still start talking about his donations next.
This was because the other two young people with tender faces would probably donate about a million yuan, just like Liu Fei and Tang Gang.
“Alright, then I’ll talk about my donations.” Bai Cheng lit a cigar and took a few puffs. His face was filled with fat before he slowly said, “As for me, I won’t donate too much. I’ll donate ten million yuan.”
“Just like Liu Fei and Old Tang, I’ll donate money directly instead of supplies.”
Old Tang and Liu Fei were speechless.
When they heard Bai Cheng say that he wanted to donate ten million yuan, they were shocked into silence.
They thought that even if Bai Cheng donated, it would at most be five million yuan.
In the end, the moment he opened his mouth, he offered to donate a huge amount of ten million yuan, which was double of five million yuan.
Jiang Yun was also a little surprised. She did not expect Bai Cheng to be so generous this time.
When Director Zheng, who had just returned from making tea, heard that Bai Cheng wanted to donate ten million yuan, his eyes under his glasses widened.
Then, he quickly walked over and came in front of Bai Cheng. He stretched out two hands and held one of Bai Cheng’s hands. He bent down and said gratefully, “CEO Bai, I, Zheng Hailiang, don’t know how to say nice words. However, I promise that the people of Fengling and I will deeply engrave your kindness in our hearts. We will never forget it in our lives!”
“Thank you so much! I’m really proud that Fengling has a rich hero like you.”
“Director Zheng, don’t be like this.” Bai Cheng did not sit down anymore and hurriedly stood up. He said, “I’m a Fengling native. Now that Fengling is in trouble, my fellow villagers are all in deep trouble. I have some abilities. It’s my honor to be able to make a small contribution to my fellow villagers.”
“Therefore, there’s really no need to be grateful. I really feel that this is just something that normal people should do.”
“Director Zheng, don’t bend down anymore. I, Bai Cheng, can’t take it!” In the end, Bai Cheng hurriedly helped Director Zheng, who was still bending down, up.
Director Zheng was still touched. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, “CEO Bai, you can afford it. You definitely can. You’re the great benefactor of Fengling. The citizens of Fengling will all bend down to thank you. You should accept it.”
“There’s no need to mention the gratitude from a small director like me, Zheng Hailiang.”
In order to prevent Director Zheng from continuing to bend down to thank him, Bai Cheng did not dare to let go of him. His hands were still holding onto Director Zheng’s arms tightly.
At this moment, the vanity in Bai Cheng’s heart was also greatly satisfied.
However, he remained calm on the surface, as if he did not care.
“Miss Jiang, thank you for the six million yuan.” Director Zheng was not stupid. Of course, he would not only thank Bai Cheng. He turned around and bowed to Jiang Yun. “Fengling is really too lucky to have you guys.”
“I believe that all the commoners of Fengling Province will have a place for you in their hearts in the future.”
