"Isn't this amount too large? I know you are not short of money now, but charity should be done according to your ability and should not affect yourself!"
Gao Jianjia, who was moved by Ye Chen's solemn sigh, shook her head in a trance and said solemnly, "Besides, your business life is just getting started!"
"Jianjia is right. It's not a good thing to pretend to be rich. If we really carry out the plan according to the amount of funding you said, and there is a funding shortage once the project is launched, do you know what that means? It means that all your work will be in vain, and those people in the mountainous areas will be happy in vain. Then you can just say that there is a shortage of funds and it will be over. But how can you, Jianjia, explain to those people in the mountainous areas who have finally seen a ray of light in the darkness?" Zhuang Hanlin followed up.
Of course, in his opinion, Ye Chen was just trying to be rich.
Donating hundreds of millions of dollars to charity every year without asking for anything in return is simply not something a normal person can do. No matter how loving or rich one is, it is unrealistic!
Not to mention that this upstart nouveau riche was a drunkard, gambler, and a scum before he became rich.
Can we expect such people to donate billions of dollars to charity without asking for anything in return?
This is an international joke!
Also, 500 million in the first year, 700 million in the second year, 1 billion in the third year... With this nouveau riche's mindless and blind investment and squandering, he may go bankrupt at any time. Once he goes bankrupt, what will happen to the so-called charitable donations in the end?
However, with his preconceived notions and tinted glasses, he seemed to have forgotten that this was a selfless charity. Could it be that the sponsors had to consider what to do if the follow-up funds could not keep up?
It's like a student aid fund. If you support a group of poor students to go to school, do you still have to consider what to do if there is no money to support them in the future?
Then because of this concern, you choose to give up the idea of funding?
"Zhuang Hanlin, what do you mean? Do you know what you are talking about?"
After realizing that something was wrong with Zhuang Hanlin, Gao Jianjia could no longer bear it.
"Jianjia, I think there is nothing wrong with what I said! President Ye waved his hand and asked us to plan in the direction of several hundred million yuan. What should we do if the school is half built and the bridge is half repaired, and he says that the funds are tight and cuts off the funding? How should we explain to those hopeful children and people in the mountainous areas?" Zhuang Hanlin asked repeatedly.
"Are you confusing logical concepts? Charity is not an obligation, and Ye Chen has no obligation to guarantee what he has done. As a teacher, don't you understand this simple truth? Even if he has to terminate the funding due to his own financial reasons, there is nothing to say! Charity is a merit, but no philanthropist dares to guarantee that he will be able to accomplish infinite merits and complete the merits. Even if he suspends or terminates it halfway, no one is qualified to blame him. After all, he truly invested real money without asking for anything in return!" Gao Jianjia scolded.
"Jianjia, I understand the logic, and what I meant is not what you think!" Zhuang Hanlin forced himself to defend himself.
"Then what do you mean?" Gao Jianjia asked back.
"I...what I mean is that it is unnecessary to suddenly take out hundreds of millions. It is better to proceed step by step, be down-to-earth and pragmatic, and start with the basics first!" said Zhuang Hanlin.
"you.."
Gao Jianjia was about to refute.
But Ye Chen was one step ahead of her and interrupted the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Sister Jianjia, there is nothing wrong with what Teacher Zhuang said, and his concerns are normal! Life is unpredictable. What if I suddenly go bankrupt or have to stop funding and stop the charity project for other reasons? This will indeed be a big blow to the children and people in the mountainous areas. After all, they are full of hope and look forward to a better future. Once the charity project is suspended indefinitely halfway, it will undoubtedly wipe out their hope!" Ye Chen said.
"Jianjia, Mr. Ye is right, that's exactly what I meant!" Zhuang Hanlin hurriedly took advantage of the situation.
But he hadn't finished speaking.
Ye Chen continued, "So in order to prevent that kind of situation from happening, Sister Jianjia, you go open a charity fund account and I will deposit 500 million into the charity fund account right away. With this 500 million, you don't have to worry about me going bankrupt or changing my mind!"
brush
Hearing this, Zhuang Hanlin's expression suddenly looked as if a fly had been swallowed in his mouth.
I thought Ye Chen was just boasting, who would have thought he was serious?
No, 500 million
Five hundred million, just to become a philanthropist who hides his merits and fame?
Is this something a nouveau riche with a bad record would do?
Next second.
Zhuang Hanlin's sense of crisis instantly exploded.
If Ye Chen really spent such a huge amount of money, then there is no doubt that he was going for Gao Jianjia, and there is no doubt that he was trying to please her!
Gao Jianjia would never have imagined that Zhuang Hanlin, who was always gentle and refined, could be so narrow-minded and dark-minded.
Yes, this is no longer a matter of judging others by one's own mean standards, but rather pure narrow-mindedness and darkness.
"Ye Chen, don't you need to discuss this with Yinuo first? After all, this is not 50 million, let alone 5 million, but 500 million. As your wife, she has the right to know this!"
There was no time to pay attention to Zhuang Hanlin anymore, Gao Jianjia said quickly.
Little did he know that Ye Chen just shook his head and smiled.
"Sister Jianjia, you are overthinking. I am not saying this to show off. Five hundred million is nothing to me. There is no need to tell Yinuo specifically! Besides, no one knows Yinuo better than me. Even if I tell her, she will definitely agree!"
"Let's not talk about whether you agree or not. I still say the same thing. As your wife, she has the right and the need to know these things, because this is the most basic respect for each other!" Gao Jianjia said in a sonorous voice without allowing Ye Chen to refuse.
"Okay, since Sister Jianjia has shown such an attitude, I will definitely listen to you. I will tell her about this later!" Ye Chen smiled helplessly.
Gao Jianjia then smiled with satisfaction, "That's pretty good!"
After that, he said, "Wait for me for a moment, I need to go to the bathroom first!"
"Yes, Sister Jianjia, go ahead!"
When Gao Jianjia left the dining area.
Ye Chen suddenly looked at Zhuang Hanlin with interest.
He immediately jokingly asked, "Teacher Zhuang, do you have something to say to me?"
"What do you mean? What do you want to say?"
As Gao Jianjia left, Zhuang Hanlin's eyes began to reveal hostility that he could no longer suppress.
"Okay, then I'll be frank with you. Do you like Sister Jianjia?" Ye Chen pursed his lips and asked with a teasing smile.
Zhuang Hanlin's expression changed slightly reflexively.
Then he said indifferently, "Mr. Ye, excuse me for being blunt, does this have anything to do with you?"
"Indeed, whether you like Sister Jianjia or not is really none of my business. After all, I can't control your emotions, right? But what I want to say is that based on my understanding of Sister Jianjia over the years, you
It's not her cup of tea, so listen to my advice, don't waste your time and energy, so as to avoid embarrassment to both of you in the end!" Ye Chen said lightly.
He originally didn't intend to say something that would provoke the other party, but Zhuang Hanlin's attitude and sarcasm just now made him uncomfortable, very uncomfortable...
"Oh? From what Mr. Ye said, it seems that I am not Jianjia's type, but you are, Mr. Ye?"
No longer pretending to be hypocritical, Zhuang Hanlin sneered and snorted heavily through his nostrils.
