714: Chapter 714: I Want to Be a Volunteer 714: Chapter 714: I Want to Be a Volunteer “Over six billion… How can this kid bear to part with it?”
Qian Haoduo stared at the long string of digits on the check displayed on the large screen on one side of the conference hall, his eyes nearly bulging out, and then he sighed, “Alas, I’ve earned several hundred million over the years and thought I was a rich man, but now I realize that compared to Fang Bai, I’m still a beggar!”
Hua Tianhe, twirling his mustache, said, “There are many rich people in the world, but there are probably very few who would donate a billion U.S.
Dollars to charity in one go.
If it were , I couldn’t do it either!”
The Dragon Maiden listened to their sighs with a smile, saying nothing.
Aside from the Dragon Maiden, the other guests present did not know that, during his previous trip to Arica, Fang Bai had, through various ans, single-handedly raked in several billion U.S.
Dollars, so donating one billion was not a significant sum for him.
Moreover, the Dragon Maiden believed that with Fang Bai’s ans, becoming the world’s wealthiest person would be a walk in the park for him, it’s just that Fang Bai was not so fervent about accumulating wealth.
Among the guests at the event, unmarried won looked at Fang Bai with shining eyes.
If Fang Bai’s appearance could be rated as a nine, then with his wealth added, he would be the perfect “golden bachelor.”
To catch this “golden bachelor” would an never having to worry about money for a lifeti.
Following Fang Bai, Qian Haoduo, Hua Tianhe, Ren Juedao, and Huang Tianpeng, the four National Doctors, took to the stage in succession to make their donations.
The four had discussed beforehand and each donated ten million to the “Fang Bai Charity Foundation.” The amount was not considered huge, but it was certainly not small either, especially since this was just their first donation, and they would contribute more as circumstances allowed in the future.
In contrast to the four National Doctors, the three major Ancient dicine Sects—”Doctor Pavilion,” “Rejuvenation Hall,” and “Xinglin Courtyard” were much more generous, each donating fifty million.
Following the seat number order, after the donations from the four National Doctors and three Ancient dicine Sects, it was President Xia Chenyu of Beauty Company’s turn to take the stage.
When the charming and alluring Xia Chenyu appeared on stage, the n’s gaze in the audience beca sowhat fixed, while most of the won were filled with envy and jealousy.
Tang Wenrou, Su Linglong, the Dragon Maiden, and other won scrutinized Xia Chenyu closely, then compared themselves with her in secret.
If they felt they surpassed Xia Chenyu in so aspect, they would secretly rejoice, but if they felt inferior, they would beco a little disheartened.
“Xia Chenyu, President of Beauty Company, donates one hundred million U.S.
Dollars!”
When the staff announced Xia Chenyu’s donation amount, there was a stir among the guests, as it was unexpected that Xia Chenyu would donate so much.
One hundred million U.S.
Dollars amounted to six or seven hundred million in Huaxia Currency.
Even if Xia’s Beauty Company had made a fortune that year, for her to take out so much money for charity was still quite surprising.
The gossipy ones among the audience were speculating that this amorous woman must have an excellent relationship with Fang Bai, the leader of the “Fang Bai Charity Foundation,” otherwise, how could she afford to donate so much?
Even Fang Bai felt that Xia Chenyu’s donation was sowhat excessive.
As he took the check from her hand, he whispered, “Actually, donating ten million would have been enough; wouldn’t it be better to use the rest for the company’s developnt?”
Xia Chenyu smiled with pursed lips, “I already have more money than I can spend, and any more would just be a number.
Besides, the company has developed to this point because of your efforts.
You’ve put out a billion U.S.
Dollars for this foundation, donating a hundred million really isn’t much!”
Fang Bai nodded and said to Xia Chenyu, “Since you’re on stage, why don’t you take the opportunity to say a few words to everyone?”
Xia Chenyu “Hmm” and took a few steps forward, facing the audience below with a smile on her face, and her crisp voice announced, “Our ‘Beauty Company’ has made a decision: from now on, we will donate one hundred million US dollars to the ‘Fang Bai Charity Foundation’ every year, specifically for charitable causes.”
As soon as her words fell, there were many exclamations from the crowd below.
To take out one hundred million US dollars a year for charity was extrely generous among the major companies in Huaxia.
Fang Bai was stunned for a mont, then looked at Xia Chenyu’s back and shook his head with a bitter smile, thinking to himself that if she liked to donate, then let her, and at worst he would just give her a few more beauty secrets later on to help her earn more.
Below the stage, Minister Lu of the Huaxia Health Departnt took the lead in applauding, and the applause quickly grew enthusiastic.
Many single male guests looked at Xia Chenyu with burning gazes, all pondering the idea of striking up a conversation with this top-tier beauty after the “Fang Bai Charity Foundation” inauguration ceremony, imagining that if they could win her over, they wouldn’t need to struggle for the rest of their lives.
After the applause subsided, Xia Chenyu turned her head to glance at Fang Bai and said with a smile, “I heard from Chairman Fang that after the establishnt of his charity foundation, they will go to remote and impoverished areas to provide free dical consultations several tis a year.
Here, I would like to ask Chairman Fang: during these consultations, may I volunteer?
Although I don’t understand dicine, I can still serve tea and water to the patients!”
Fang Bai laughed and said, “You, as the president of a major company, are busy with a lot of work; where do you have the ti to volunteer?
President Xia, I appreciate the thought, but let’s forget about volunteering.”
Xia Chenyu said, “Charity work is everyone’s responsibility!
I genuinely want to volunteer, and if Chairman Fang doesn’t agree, I’m not leaving the stage!”
Seeing her play “rogue” in public, Fang Bai laughed and said, “Alright, alright, I agree!
I will have the staff take note, and you’ll be inford whenever there’s a dical outreach event!”
“Let’s make a promise then!”
Xia Chenyu, with a delighted face, satisfiedly walked down from the stage.
After her, Lin Ruoxue of the Dongfang Family, along with her daughters Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua, stepped onto the stage together.
As if they had arranged it with Xia Chenyu, the three of them also donated one hundred million US dollars and announced they would make regular annual donations of the sa amount to the “Fang Bai Charity Foundation.”
So people in the crowd were aware that Fang Bai had saved the lives of Old Master Dongfang and Dongfang Ruhua, so it was within reason for the Dongfang Family to contribute this money.
Moreover, the Dongfang Family, being wealthy and powerful with a fortune much greater than the newly rising ‘Beauty Company,’ could easily afford to donate one hundred million dollars annually, which was but a drop in the bucket for them.
“Chairman Fang, I want my two daughters to also join your foundation’s volunteer team,” said Lin Ruoxue, handing over the check to Fang Bai and delivering a short speech, she then asked with a smile, “Let them accompany you on dical outreaches when they are free, what do you think?”
“No problem!”
Fang Bai didn’t hesitate much and agreed right away, as Xia Chenyu had already set a precedent, so what harm would two more volunteers do?
However, thinking about going out for dical outreaches in the future with a group of these lovely ladies in tow, that scene…
would indeed be a beautiful sight!
