267: Chapter 0267 Charity Gala 267: Chapter 0267 Charity Gala Ye Xunhuan’s expression slowly revealed a look of difficulty.
Seeing this, Xu Mingzhe felt a burst of joy in his heart.
This guy definitely knows sothing!
“Brother Ye, if it’s difficult for you, then never mind,” Xu Mingzhe said gently.
“Big Brother Xu, this…”
“Brother Ye, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t consider his friends and brothers.
If you have a difficulty, I understand.
You don’t have to feel there is anything…”
The look of difficulty on Ye Xunhuan’s face beca even more pronounced, but finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Big Brother Xu, you are the person who has treated the best since I ca to Jiangzhong City.
I won’t hide it from you, I do indeed know why Miss Qiu is hosting this charity gala!”
“Is that so?” Xu Mingzhe’s heart leapt with joy, but he managed to keep his face emotionless and simultaneously filled with contempt for Ye Xunhuan inside.
Country bumpkin, put on a bit of a show, and you spill your guts!
“Big Brother Xu, did you watch the news a few days ago?”
“The news?”
“Yes!” Ye Xunhuan nodded.
“It’s about the orphanage news!”
“Oh, I know.
Are you talking about that news about the survival of the children at Jiangzhong City’s First Welfare Orphanage?”
“That’s the one!”
“Could it be that Miss Qiu is holding this evening’s gala because of the orphanage?” Xu Mingzhe asked with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
Ye Xunhuan nodded.
“Yes, indeed, it is because of the orphanage!”
“Miss Qiu, seeing the hardships of the children in the welfare ho, was moved by maternal compassion and couldn’t bear it, so she wanted to help the children of the welfare ho, thus she organized this charity event,” Ye Xunhuan said with a slight sigh.
“If Young Master Xu could help these children more today, I think Miss Qiu’s good impression of you will definitely increase significantly!”
“Whether she has a good impression or not doesn’t really matter, but it’s truly admirable that Miss Qiu has such a kind heart,” Xu Mingzhe said with utter hypocrisy.
“Moreover, after seeing the news, I too was deeply troubled and pained, never expecting such a place to exist in our Jiangzhong City!”
“Even if Miss Qiu had not organized the gala today, I had already decided to help those children.
Now that Miss Qiu has, I shall simply make an offering on another’s behalf and lend a good hand to these children!”
As he spoke, Xu Mingzhe’s face showed a look of deep pity for the world.
If Ye Xunhuan was seeing Xu Mingzhe for the first ti and did not know Xu Mingzhi’s character, he might have actually been fooled by Xu Mingzhe’s excellent acting.
Although he knew Xu Mingzhe’s show of pity was completely feigned, Ye Xunhuan did not expose him but complinted instead, “Young Master Xu truly is a great philanthropist, no wonder Miss Qiu said you are a decent person.
She suggested I should learn from you in every way!”
“Really?” Xu Mingzhe’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Honestly, he couldn’t care less about the lives and well-being of the children at the welfare ho.
But he was after Qiu Ruoxi, and whatever Qiu Ruoxi valued, he would naturally cater to.
“Would I lie to you, Big Brother Xu?” Ye Xunhuan said earnestly.
“She told that Big Brother Xu, wealthy and young, has a dashing presence, and being a man of significance at such a young age, your future is boundless!”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Xu Mingzhe imdiately felt overjoyed.
After chatting for a while with Ye Xunhuan, Xu Mingzhe promptly made his way to the side, to which Ye Xunhuan was also extrely courteous.
Not long after Xu Mingzhe had left, Qiu Ruoxi appeared silently next to Ye Xunhuan from sowhere.
“What were you just telling Xu Mingzhe?
I saw that sly smile of yours!”
The smile on Ye Xunhuan’s face imdiately vanished, and he said with a stern face, “Did I?”
“Xu Mingzhe may not know who you are, but don’t I know what kind of person you are?” Qiu Ruoxi scoffed.
“Tell , what exactly are you up to now?”
“What kind of mischief could I possibly concoct?”
“How should I know!” Qiu Ruoxi snapped coldly, “Ye Xunhuan, I’m warning you, don’t keep using my na to trick Xu Mingzhe, or the consequences will be extrely severe…”
In response, Ye Xunhuan curled his lip, his face full of disdain.
While Qiu Ruoxi was lecturing Ye Xunhuan, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimd, followed by the rise of a soothing lody.
On the stage in the banquet hall, a woman dressed in a cheongsam was playing the violin, and the surrounding noise gradually quieted down.
After the piece concluded, i Hanqing slowly made her way onto the front stage.
That day, i Hanqing wore a red, waist-cinching evening gown!
Her hair was styled in a chic and noble updo; her pink lips were enticing, full of temptation; the red evening gown accentuated her elegance and beauty to the fullest, and under it, her black high heels made her concealed legs appear long and sensual.
Especially the deep cut at the front of her dress caused countless n’s eyes to rest involuntarily on her snowy white bosom.
Upon seeing i Han, Ye Xunhuan was taken aback for a mont, “You…
you made her the host?”
“Is there a problem with that?” Qiu Ruoxi retorted coldly, “i Hanqing is the head of the Public Relations departnt, she’s very suited to do this kind of thing!”
“And do you think hiring a host doesn’t cost money?”
The corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Of course, I think i Hanqing acting as the host is the most appropriate choice!”
This was the real reason why Qiu Ruoxi had i Hanqing act as the host.
“Ladies and gentlen, good evening, and welco to the charity gala hosted by Huantu Group…”
“The purpose of this gala is to gather donations from elite mbers of society to assist the orphans at Jiangzhong City’s First People’s Welfare Institute, to give them a happy and healthy childhood without hunger or cold…”
As soon as i Hanqing finished speaking, many people began to applaud.
With her signature smile, i Hanqing continued, “It is undeniable that the disparity between the rich and poor still exists in our society.
Where there is daylight, there will naturally be night; where so are wealthy, others are poor, including many orphans abandoned by their heartless parents from infancy in our nation…”
“I don’t know if you’ve seen the recent news about the current state of Jiangzhong City’s First Welfare Institute!”
“The children there seem to have been forgotten in a corner of the world, never noticed, never cared for.
Due to limited funds at the Welfare Institute, a decent al is a luxury for them, and they seldom get to eat at or fish throughout the year…”
“Sumr is their favorite season because they don’t have to wear much clothing and don’t feel cold, while they all detest winter.
The cutting north wind biting at their frail bodies forces them to huddle together for warmth…”
“The children at the Welfare Institute are also sensible.
To lessen the burden on the Institute, regardless of the harsh cold or scorching heat, they go out to collect recyclables to sell to recycling stations, easing the financial pressure on the Welfare Institute…”
“In the sumr, they are alright, but in the winter, their tender little hands are completely frostbitten and chapped, with wounds that are shocking to the eye and sotis even bleeding, but they still have to collect recyclables to survive…”
As i Hanqing spoke, the screen behind her lit up, showing images of the children at the Welfare Institute, including scenes of them collecting recyclables and being bullied…
Ye Xunhuan didn’t know where these photos ca from, but watching the continuous flashing of images, his heart filled with sorrow.
What have these innocent children done to deserve this?
In the room, many won, moved by their maternal instincts as they watched the scene unfold, couldn’t help but shed tears!
At that mont, a jarring voice suddenly piped up, “This is too fake, even in mountainous areas it’s not that bad, right?”
“Miss Qiu, those photos aren’t taken from the internet and photoshopped, are they?”
