“Mu Xuezhen is just an ordinary village girl. Isn’t it normal for her to want to find a rich man? Maybe she’s just unlucky and can’t find someone who is both good-looking and rich, so in the end she can only…” Qian Meiqi coughed, “So, isn’t it normal for her to be unwilling?”

Everyone thought it made sense; everyone has their own choices, and no one has the right to interfere. Just then, the steaks and pasta they had ordered arrived, so they started eating and put Mu Xuezhen's matter aside.

After lunch, Hongxia's phone rang.

"I won't be keeping you company this afternoon." Hong Xia hung up the phone. "The foundation is having a meeting to discuss next year's funding plan and fundraising activities, so you two will have to come with me." She then gestured to Song Qiaoqiao and Wang Xia.

The two nodded hastily.

"Thank you for your hard work," Le Yao said sincerely to the three of them.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Qiaoqiao and Qian Meiqi nodded in agreement.

“If you could lend a hand, we wouldn’t have to work so hard,” Hongxia said, looking at the three of them.

"No, the three of you are the ones who are more capable and will do more work." Le Yao chuckled. "We'll support you financially. Keep it up!"

“Okay.” Qian Meiqi nodded. “The three of us are so poor that all we have left is money, so since you three have less money, you should put in more effort…”

"That person's words are infuriating," Wang Xia shook her head. "This is discrimination against people like us who don't have money."

“I feel like you’ve hurt me,” Hong Xia sighed. “Don’t forget, I’m a poor student sponsored by Aunt Qiao Zi, and you guys actually…”

"We were wrong." Qiao Qiao chuckled. "How about we punish ourselves by each donating another million?"

“That’s more like it.” Hongxia laughed too. “Alright, let’s go.” Then she pulled Wang Xia and Song Qiaoqiao away.

"Aren't we being a little unfair?" Le Yao couldn't help but ask.

“A little.” Qian Meiqi and Qiao Qiao nodded in unison.

"What should we do then?" Le Yao shrugged.

"Then let's have another dessert," Qian Meiqi said, snapping her fingers. "Three tiramisu, please."

Le Yao and Qiao Qiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"By the way, how's your brother?" Le Yao asked casually.

“Speaking of that guy, my parents are speechless.” Qian Meiqi took a sip of coffee. “His relationship with Han Xueqian left him traumatized. Now he refuses to date anyone and is focused on his career…”

"That's great, you can talk about your girlfriend later."

"Well, but his so-called business is actually running a foundation." Qian Meiqi sighed. "My family approves of it, since it's about helping people, but he's never actually done anything about it..."

“We started from scratch back then too,” Qiao Qiao said nonchalantly. “If you want to do it, you can definitely do it well. Besides, I think you could have your brother contact Hong Xia more often; maybe you can give him some help.” After all, the Academic Excellence Foundation is now operating normally and has already sponsored more than fifty outstanding students.

"That's a great idea!" Qian Meiqi's eyes lit up. "I completely forgot to tell Hong Xia." She quickly picked up her phone and dialed. "I'll have to make a phone call."

Hong Xia is a kind-hearted person, and the foundation was originally established because of a ring from Qian Haiyi. So, she was naturally happy to know that the young master Qian was also going to start a foundation.
