Of course, this Rhein had nothing to do with the pitiful Rhein Company of his own—it was the cosmetics brand Rhein from MX Company.
Making big money should be accompanied by bigger donations, which is only reasonable.
Lin Xian had no desire to compete with them in this regard.
After all, whether it was the 2 billion Chu Shanhe invested in him or the 2 billion Zhao Yingjun gave him…
The pocket change they casually forked out already amounted to the entire fortune of his poor little Rhein.

…
When Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun went up to donate together.
Chu Shanhe emerged with a beaming smile, took Lin Xian in his arms in front of everyone, patted his shoulder, and introduced him to guests from all walks of life:
“Mr.
Lin Xian’s deeds, I believe, need no introduction from me, right?
A Donghai City youth known for his bravery, a top ten citizen, creator of the globally popular Rhein Cat in the business sector, co-founder of laboratories with universities in the scientific research field, and champion of the world hacking competition in honor of China—truly a model for our times!
An exemplar for the younger generation!”

“I have a very good personal relationship with Lin Xian, and recently we visited the Dragon Science Academy together, where we met with Dean Gao Yan of the Academy.Dean Gao praised Lin Xian greatly, admiring his talent, and hence the Astronomical Research Institute of the Dragon Science Academy also started a cooperative project with Lin Xian’s Rhine Laboratory.
I must admire…
Lin Xian has truly shown me what it means for the new waves to surpass the old!
An awe-inspiring young talent, today’s champion!”
Chu Shanhe was effusive in his praise of Lin Xian.
The smart attendees of the evening understood the underlying message Chu Shanhe was trying to convey—
[Lin Xian is a good brother of mine, Chu Shanhe, and I ask that you all show him due respect, lend a hand when you can, and avoid making things difficult for him.]
This display of closeness was quite unexpected to everyone.
Having dominated Donghai for many years, Chu Shanhe had never been seen treating anyone so warmly and protectively before, such consideration and genuine pride…
to the unaware, it might seem as if Chu had found himself an illegitimate son!
Could it be a son-in-law?
But that seemed unlikely, considering Chu Shanhe’s daughter had just started her sophomore year at university and wasn’t even 20 yet, quite young indeed.
In the eyes of this generation of Chinese parents, dating before 23 is illegal, and your legs are to be broken!!
After 25 is considered late for marriage; aren’t you going to get a match if you keep freeloading off your parents?!
Only those who manage to date, marry, and have children within the narrow two-year window are seen by parents as “sensible and filial.”
“Where is Chu Anqing?”
In his Bluetooth earpiece, VV sounded puzzled:
“Why isn’t Chu Anqing here today?”
“It’s the end of the semester right now; she must be busy with exams,” Lin Xian whispered.
“Tsk, boring, such a drag, I’m outta here.” The sound in the earpiece somewhat faded away.
“Oh right.”
The volume of VV’s voice suddenly increased:
“Someone is about to come over to settle scores with you.”
“Who?”
“The world’s richest man, the CEO of Tesla, the president of SPACE-T, the boss of Twitter—Elon Jask!” VV chuckled:
“His motorcade will soon be at the entrance of the venue.
Since you asked me to watch over your safety all the time, even when I’m not chatting with you, I have been intensively monitoring everything within a few kilometers radius around you.
If there’s danger, I’ll notify you directly.”
“Speaking of which…
Jask isn’t actually going to make you pay for his satellite, is he?
I moved them all back to their original orbits, and even gave them a few extra loopholes.
He shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds him, should he?”
“That shouldn’t be the case.”
Lin Xian whispered:
“He is the world’s richest man after all, shouldn’t he have that much magnanimity?
If he really makes us pay, at the most we’ll reimburse him for the fuel costs.
The satellites didn’t fall, what’s there to compensate for?”
…
Afterward, many of Donghai City’s influential figures took the initiative to greet Lin Xian.
Chu Shanhe enthusiastically led him around for introductions, sparing no effort.
When he finally had a moment to himself.
Lin Xian recalled what Zhao Yingjun told him earlier—foreign philanthropists were attending the charity dinner, which was why Chu Shanhe delayed the event, happy to welcome anyone willing to donate to China’s scientific research and Donghai Science Development Fund.
Then he connected the dots with what VV just mentioned about Jask’s motorcade about to arrive at the venue.
Could it be…
The foreign philanthropist Chu Shanhe mentioned was this world’s richest man?
“Mister Chu.”
Lin Xian turned his head and asked:
“I heard from Zhao Yingjun that we also have an international philanthropist coming to donate today?”
“Yes, haha, I was quite surprised myself.”
Chu Shanhe laughed:
“But after all, the person has this willingness, and we should support it.
As long as it’s genuine philanthropy and truly aids the development of China’s scientific endeavors, no matter who it is, I always welcome their donations, whether in money, materials, or research.”
“Look, speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!
Here he comes!”
Squeak————
As Lin Xian and Chu Shanhe chatted, the grand doors of the banquet hall, made of thick wood, were pulled open by the waitstaff.
A tall man, seemingly at least 1.9 meters, strode in.
His shoulders were broad, making the white Western-style suit he wore over them look impeccably straight; the suit wasn’t fastened in the middle, and underneath he wore a very everyday striped shirt.
No bow tie, no necktie, even the topmost button at the collar was undone, projecting a sense of freedom and ease.
His hair was neatly combed, and he looked remarkably youthful and vibrant, more so than the typical fifty-something-year-old.
