When Zhou Wumeng retired, it caused a huge uproar, making national news. At the time, everyone was speculating about who the owner of Qinghe Fund was, to have the clout to decisively make a literary giant leave his original stage and commit to charity.
In everyone's mind, the big boss of Qinghe Fund was absolutely impressive, and it was said that the rights to several best-selling novels under the fund's name were also written by the boss himself!
In the past, some had mocked Qinghe Fund for overestimating itself, as it didn't accept external donations.
Indeed, everyone was well aware that a charitable fund relied on donations, and without them, it might not even be able to pay its own staff.
In the public consciousness, charitable funds were supposed to accept donations from everyone!
However, Qinghe Fund cut off its own retreat, not only rejecting donations now but also formally announcing at an official news conference that it would never accept them.
