The phrase "quiet" simply means that Ning Yuanqing is no longer active in the entertainment industry.

Since his parents passed away one after another ten years ago, Ning Yuanqing has become indifferent to fame and fortune overnight and gradually faded out of the circle.

Most of the time, he stayed at home to cultivate his mind and body.

He debuted at the age of sixteen and has been an artist for more than 20 years, releasing more than 40 albums and hosting several top variety shows in the Bay Area.

Over the past two decades, he has accumulated a great deal of wealth, but instead of using it for a life of luxury, he has devoted most of his savings to philanthropy.

Despite having faded from the entertainment industry for ten years, in Wanzhou, almost 90% of people will give Ning Yuanqing a thumbs up without hesitation whenever he is mentioned.

What is he doing here?

Zhou Rongze frowned slightly.

If it were any other superstar visiting, even a fool could guess that they were seeking business collaborations.

Zhou Rongze couldn't figure out Ning Yuanqing.

"They said they wanted to see Lin Rui."

Chen Tianye's expression was strange.

"Looking for me?"

Lin Rui was puzzled.

"Since they're looking for you, it's best not to see them."

At first, Zhou Rongze frowned.

But soon, it relaxed.

He had already guessed that Ning Yuanqing's purpose in coming here was nothing more than to raise funds for charity.

Since retiring from the entertainment industry, Ning Yuanqing has frequently traveled to various states.

With the eloquence he honed over many years as a host, he managed to persuade many influential public figures to join him in doing good deeds.

Of course, that's not to say that doing good deeds and accumulating merit is bad.

Unlike those hypocrites who only shout slogans and never put them into practice.

Ning Yuanqing is indeed getting things done.

Zhou Rongze also genuinely approves of Ning Yuanqing's character.

But he didn't want Ning Yuanqing to bring Lin Rui onto the ship.

Currently, the name "Floating Life" wields significant influence not only in Xia Prefecture but also in Hua Prefecture.

If Lin Rui launches some charitable initiatives on Weibo, many people will surely participate.

Presumably, this is precisely what Ning Yuanqing values.

But here's the problem.

Everyone's initial intentions were good, but if something unexpected happens, the impact on Lin Rui will be unimaginable.

Moreover, at this stage, they don't have much energy to devote to charitable causes.

certainly.

Zhou Rongze didn't want to make a decision for Lin Rui directly, so after thinking for a moment, he added, "You decide for yourself."

"Since we're already at the company, there's no harm in meeting them."

Unlike Zhou Rongze, Lin Rui might have disappeared if it were someone else.

Ke Ningyuanqing comes from Wanzhou.

Currently, the artists of Tianrui have almost no influence in Wanzhou.

Even Lin Rui was the same.

After Li Donglai launched the plan to seize the sea, he has not yet promoted it to Wanzhou, so he is still not well-known in Wanzhou.

At most, it's just news about celebrities being promoted to third-tier status.

"Okay, let's go downstairs and meet."

The three of them went downstairs and arrived at the VIP room.

Despite being over fifty, Ning Yuanqing is well-preserved.

The face doesn't have many wrinkles due to the passage of time, and the skin tone is relatively healthy.

Of course, what's most captivating is his bright eyes.

His temperament is also quite remarkable; he exudes elegance both inside and out.

Lin Rui felt that he didn't seem to be from Wanzhou, but rather from Huazhou, a family with a scholarly tradition.

"Young man, you must be Fusheng?"

After the three entered the room, Ning Yuanqing's gaze remained fixed on Lin Rui.

"It's me."

Lin Rui nodded.

Hello, hello!

Ning Yuanqing was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Rui.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, and with both parties seated, Ning Yuanqing took the initiative to speak.

"Fusheng, I have come here today to invite you to the charity gala to be held in Wanzhou on New Year's Eve."

"This time I visited nine states and invited more than twenty artists who are influential in the local area."

"I hope that with everyone's mutual support, we can join hands to form a charitable alliance."

"If any party needs help, the other eight states can respond immediately."

As he spoke, Ning Yuanqing took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

After taking it, Lin Rui flipped through it for a while and casually said, "Could I ask someone to help me take a look?"

"sure."

Zhou Rongze was somewhat puzzled.

Do I really need to ask someone for help with something like this?

Even if we take a step back, can't I at least offer him my opinion?

Lin Rui went outside and made a phone call to Chen Bin.

Three minutes later, Chen Bin entered the VIP room with Lin Rui.

He picked up the charity plan written by Ning Yuanqing, flipped through a few pages, and then closed it again.

"How about it?"

Ning Yuanqing looked at Chen Bin with some anticipation.

He had a vague feeling that Chen Bin's next evaluation would influence Fusheng's thoughts.

"Not very good."

Ning Yuanqing stared wide-eyed at Chen Bin.

"How so?"

Ning Yuanqing was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not show it.

This is a plan he spent a lot of time compiling; it's all his hard work.

"Too many loopholes, and it doesn't please anyone."

"This plan is almost entirely exploiting the fans' nostalgia."

"It should be effective at first, but over time it will fall into the negative effects of moral blackmail."

There can only be one final outcome.

Chen Bin finished speaking in one cool, one-shot speech.

Ning Yuanqing couldn't help but ask, "What?"

When one place is in trouble, everyone lends a thumbs up.

Chen Bin criticized without reservation.

Ning Yuanqing hadn't reacted yet.

Zhou Rongze and Chen Tianye almost burst out laughing.

That guy has a really sharp tongue!

"Furthermore, your plan is not in line with the future situation."

What's the situation?

Ning Yuanqing asked a question subconsciously, but Chen Bin ignored him.

Lin Rui suddenly spoke up: "Brother Chen, I think this charitable act is great, could you help me revise it?"

"Of course, that depends on Mr. Ning's opinion."

Faced with Lin Rui's questioning gaze, Ning Yuanqing, who had been feeling dejected, answered almost without hesitation: "I agree. Young man, could you help me revise it?"

"There's no need to change it. These plans have too many loopholes from beginning to end."

"Moreover, the future situation will change drastically, making such plans even less of a reference."

"Instead of wasting time revising, it's better to rewrite it from scratch."

"However, it will take some time. It will probably take at least ten days to half a month to get this done."

Chen Bin looked troubled.

"It's okay, I can wait!"

Ning Yuanqing said earnestly, "I just want to do my best to help those in need."

Chen Bin nodded, tidied up the stack of documents on the table, and took them away.

Before leaving, he secretly winked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui pretended not to see it and continued drinking his tea.

At this moment, Ning Yuanqing came to his senses and asked curiously, "What was the future situation he just mentioned?"

Zhou Rongze gave Lin Rui a deep look.

If he still can't figure out that Lin Rui and Chen Bin are putting on a show at this moment, then he's lived in vain all these years.

"You really want to know?"

At this moment, Zhou Rongze spoke up: "However, a confidentiality agreement needs to be signed."

He glanced at Lin Rui, who was lost in thought, and then at Zhou Rongze and Chen Tianye, who both had sly smiles on their faces.

Ning Yuanqing suddenly didn't want to stay in Xiazhou any longer.

I have a feeling that apart from the simple-minded Fusheng, none of the other people on this visit to Tianrui are good people; they're all schemers.

Doing charity with these people, I'm really worried that one day they'll sell themselves out too!

but.

Unable to resist his curiosity any longer, Ning Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll sign."
