Chapter 155: Pretending to be Fat
As a public welfare ambassador, Zhong Lu attended the event today. She walked to the center of the stage and spoke:
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend tonight's charity dinner. I am the charity ambassador Zhong Lu. It is a great honor to be here and meet you all. Doing charity is not just about providing temporary help to people in need, but also about doing our best to change their living conditions..."
"All the money raised from today's dinner will be donated to extremely poor children in mountainous areas to provide them with education and medical resources. Thank you to every caring person. Let us work together to bring more love and care to this world."
Zhong Lu's speech received applause from the audience and the fundraising began.
There were hundreds of people present, and the fundraising was done through online donations. As soon as the money arrived, the amount would be immediately displayed on the big screen.
Jiang Wan sat in the banquet room, watching the donation amounts popping up on the screen. Some donated tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, around 500,000, and some donated one million in one go.
The most one is seven million.
When the number seven million came out, everyone was surprised.
They have to attend charity dinners like this countless times a year. If they donated a few million each time, no one would be willing to donate as much as the accumulated amount would allow. Basically, they just donate a small amount to save face.
Seven million, he must be a big shot with a decent background!
There were many wealthy people in the audience, but only a handful of them were willing to donate seven million in one go.
Jiang Wan noticed that Ye Yu's phone screen showed a successful donation page, and said in surprise: "Cousin, the seven million was donated by you!"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was enough to draw the attention of the people nearby.
"It turned out that it was donated by the young master of the Ye family in Jincheng. It's really generous to donate so much money in one go."
"She's handsome and rich. Whoever can become Master Ye's girlfriend will be so lucky!"
Ye Yu ignored the admiration of the girls and smiled at Jiang Wan, "Wanwan, it's your turn to amaze everyone."
Jiang Wan nodded and transferred the money on the spot.
The screen clearly displayed the latest amount.
"Wow! The highest donor has appeared, 10 million!!"
"Ten million?! Who, who, who donated so much?"
The woman sitting behind Jiang Wan suddenly pointed at her and shouted, "She donated the 10 million!"
Now everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Wan.
There are all kinds of looks including envy, admiration, shock and jealousy!
"Ten million, how generous!"
"Yes, even Young Master Ye from Jincheng only donated 7 million, but she donated 10 million!"
"I heard that she is the daughter of the Jiang family. Her name is Jiang Wan? Yes, it is Jiang Wan. She is really beautiful and kind!"
"She is beautiful and kind. I want to marry her!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Jiang Wan raised his chin slightly, accepting everyone's praise as a matter of course.
At this moment, Jiang Wan's name will become well-known in the upper class circles!
She couldn't help but scan the entire room with her peripheral vision, and sure enough, she saw the Wang Tengyi she had been thinking about sitting not far away, looking at her with admiration.
She couldn't help but feel overjoyed and proud like a noble swan, enjoying the scenery at the moment.
But the glory soon passed.
Zhong Lu's voice was suddenly interrupted, resounding throughout the venue like an explosion, attracting everyone's attention.
"Master Jiang? I was not mistaken. You are here too!"
Zhong Lu happily rushed to Jiang Ci who was standing in the last row and gave her a big hug in front of everyone.
Jiang Wan's eyes darkened and he felt a little uncomfortable.
This was clearly her most glorious moment, why did Jiang Ci want to destroy this beauty?
unlucky!
So unlucky!
Ye Yu saw that she was unhappy, and stood up from his seat. Just as he was about to say something, a shocking amount of money suddenly popped up on the big screen.
"Shit! Look at the screen!"
"That's a lot of zeros. One hundred million?"
"It's not 100 million, it's 1 billion!"
"How is that possible! Let me count, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, dad, grandpa! Where is my uncle?" The man's voice broke when he counted at the end.
"One billion!!!!"
"Who donated my property?"
The whole audience was in an uproar and extremely shocked!
If one charity dinner can donate 1 billion, then the other party must be rich enough to rival a country!
It's anyone's guess who donated so much money.
Even Ye Yu, who wanted to cause trouble for Jiang Ci, was stunned and exclaimed in disbelief: "I never thought that someone in a small place like Jiangbei would donate so much money in one go."
"Ten billion... Who is so wasteful?" Jiang Wan muttered.
There are so many things you can do with this much money. Donating it would be a waste of money.
Moreover, this is anonymous, and the other party does not get any reputation, so it is a thankless task.
Someone said: "It must be a problem. Who would be willing to donate ten small goals?"
"I also think that Jiang Wan's donation of 10 million is shocking enough to me. How could someone donate 1 billion?"
"The staff has gone to check it out."
Soon, the staff member took the microphone and said excitedly: "We have checked and confirmed that a kind-hearted person donated 1 billion!"
Everyone was shocked.
There really is an anonymous rich man who generously donated such a huge amount!
Zhong Lu looked at the huge number on the screen with a surprised look on her face: "This courage makes me, a public welfare ambassador, feel ashamed..."
As soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Ci put his cell phone in his pocket.
"Master Jiang? Could it be you..."
At this time, the screen refreshed another number: 1,000 yuan.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Why would anyone donate a thousand dollars, my God."
"It's so embarrassing! Compared to the 1 billion just now, this 1,000 yuan is so embarrassing that I want to crawl into the ground!"
"Who is so ignorant as to donate a thousand dollars?"
"That's right. The smallest donation we collected today was 80,000 yuan. How can you afford to give out 1,000 yuan?"
"If it weren't for the anonymity, I would really like to find out who is the disgrace!"
Suddenly someone raised his voice and said, "I know who donated this thousand yuan."
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw it was Ye Shao from Jincheng.
Ye Yu looked in Jiang Ci's direction with a sneer on his face, and pointed at her without hesitation, "It's her."
"I also think it's her. Everyone here today is a powerful person from Jiangbei, but she's the only one here riding a broken electric donkey."
"Broken eMule? How did this guy get into the dinner party?"
"I don't know who invited us. It's so tasteless."
Several wealthy ladies who had seen Jiang Ci riding an electric donkey outside the door earlier all made sarcastic remarks.
Zhong Lu couldn't bear to listen any more, "No matter how much you donate, it's all about love!"
Ye Yu sneered and said, "You also said that you are doing this to show your love. If you don't have any money, then don't try to be rich!"
