Chapter 85 Ask her to help clean up your mess? Don't even think about it.
"Membership fees are non-refundable once paid. This was agreed upon from the beginning, and you even signed a contract!" You Bingyue's aura was fierce, and her eyes flashed with a murderous light.
The young man and the people behind him were startled by her and couldn't help but take a step back.
But those standing further back didn't sense the domineering and murderous aura emanating from this person and continued to angrily shout, "Refund! Refund!"
Yu Bingyue was already incredibly annoyed, and seeing these people making unreasonable demands, she couldn't suppress her anger any longer: "I'll say it again, paying membership fees is a matter of mutual consent, and once paid, they are non-refundable. If anyone dares to incite trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Her attitude angered everyone, and for a moment they forgot their fear: "It's your fault, and I want to see just how impolite you are!"
You Bingyue sneered: "Stubborn to the end, since that's how it is, don't blame me for being impolite!"
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of the young man and sent him flying with a single palm strike.
The young man bumped into the crowd behind him, and instantly, three or four people fell down in a line.
You Bingyue stepped on the young man's chest and said coldly, "Get lost!"
No one expected this beautiful, aloof, and slender woman to make a move, let alone be so powerful, taking down four or five men in one go. There was a moment of silence in the crowd.
After realizing what was happening, the crowd erupted in uproar again: "You were in the wrong to begin with, and you even resorted to violence! You wait, we're calling the authorities right now!"
At this moment, Du Ziheng arrived.
Seeing the chaotic scene, especially with You Bingyue standing on a man and spouting nonsense, his vision blurred: "Bingyue! Let him go!"
You Bingyue was shocked that he demanded her release the people without asking any questions, and even looked at her with such anger that he seemed ready to devour her: "Du Ziheng, are you blind? I'm helping you deal with these troublemakers!"
Du Ziheng's head was buzzing, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed You Bingyue's arm, and tried to pull her to the side.
When the shopkeeper and others inside saw the young master arrive, they opened the door and came out to help calm the angry crowd.
As Du Ziheng led You Bingyue into the house, he instructed the shopkeeper, "Tell these customers that the shop is only undergoing renovations for the next two days and will reopen in three days at the latest."
"After reopening, the store will no longer provide free tea and snacks, and will reinstate the original purchase and borrowing system. Those who have paid can get a refund by presenting their membership token."
Du Ziheng caught a glimpse of Yu Zhiyi in the alley not far away out of the corner of his eye, and his face stiffened, feeling instantly embarrassed.
Her words of advice from that time kept coming to mind.
She said he would lose money and told him to be frugal during this time so that he wouldn't be short of money to clean up the mess later.
He shouldn't have doubted her.
But it's too late to regret it now.
The moment the door closed, You Bingyue's angry voice came from inside: "Du Ziheng, you don't appreciate my kindness! I was clearly trying to help you, and you're helping those troublemakers outside?!"
With the door closed, their voices were completely shut out inside.
With Du Ziheng's promise and the bookstore owner's reassurance, the restless crowd gradually dispersed, and the area outside the bookstore returned to tranquility.
Hongluan seemed a little unsatisfied: "Oh dear, why can't you say things in front of us? Doesn't this treat us like outsiders?"
Yu Zhiyi couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, the excitement's over. Let's go back and get back to business."
Hongluan nodded at her, "Sister, you won't clean up his mess, will you?"
"Of course." Yu Zhiyi wasn't just bored.
The two returned to Jinxiufang and continued their previous conversation.
Hongluan said, "Find some people you trust to run the charity. If it's not for profit, then the purpose of those people is simply to investigate where people need help and then customize help plans."
"For example, a minimum living standard can be set for people with disabilities, the elderly, and children who have no one to rely on. As for young children, it is not only necessary to ensure their basic needs are met, but also to ensure they can afford to go to school..."
"Furthermore, when natural disasters strike, organizations can also purchase food and send it to disaster areas to help with disaster relief."
As she spoke, she bit her lip: "However, the first person to try something new always has to take a lot of risks. You should think it through. Once you decide to establish a charity, you will definitely face questions from all sides."
Do not doubt the evil in human nature.
Some people are like that; even though they haven't donated a single penny, they always keep targeting those who have already donated.
Especially since there were no charitable organizations at that time, the first person to try something new would certainly face many difficulties.
After all, doing charity work earns you a good reputation.
Moreover, once a wealthy person engages in philanthropy, people will wonder why other wealthy and powerful people don't do the same.
It's too easy to attract hatred.
“It’s alright.” Yu Zhiyi said calmly, “I’m using my own money to do charity. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, I’ll make sure they never dare to talk nonsense again, or at least never open their mouths to talk nonsense again.”
Hongluan was irritated by this domineering statement, and a surge of ambition rose in her heart: "Fine! Since it's your cause, I will naturally support it, and I will donate too!"
Yu Zhiyi exclaimed "Ah!" and then said, "I'm not here to solicit donations..."
“Fool, I know you’re not.” Hongluan smiled, pursing her lips. “Besides, even if you were, it wouldn’t matter. My fame has already been established.”
She patted the money pouch at her waist: "See? My pouch is bulging! I can take out tens or hundreds of taels of silver every month to do charity without any pressure."
Let it be a prayer for her parents in the afterlife, who had to bury their child.
"good."
Since she insisted, Yu Zhiyi no longer objected.
Merit is something that ordinary people cannot see or touch, and may not be useful in this life, but it is indeed a good thing.
Those who are protected by good deeds are not easily approached by unclean things, and can be reborn into a wealthy and happy family in their next life.
Since Yu Zhiyi doesn't go out much, Hongluan will take care of this matter, and Yu Zhiyi only needs to provide the money.
The next day, she had someone bring in 50,000 taels of silver.
Hongluan: "..."
I knew you wanted to do good deeds, but I didn't know you were going to do it on such a big scale!
Fifty thousand taels of silver is roughly equivalent to fifty or sixty million in her world!
Her sister just donated without even blinking?
She looked at Yu Zhiyi, and Yu Zhiyi blinked and looked at her intently as well.
Hongluan: "..."
All right.
She readily accepted the fact that her "poor little" sister was actually a rich woman, and generously gave her five hundred taels of silver.
After the matter was settled, Yu Zhiyi returned to the Du residence.
As soon as the carriage was pulled up, a large Buddha statue was seen standing in front of it.
Du Ziheng came over to greet him.
Yu Zhiyi immediately became alert: "I said, there will be no refunds."
She told him when he was bidding on the dress that he should only bid within his means, and that she would not refund the money or return the dress to him if he regretted it later.
Are you trying to swindle money from her to cover your own mess?
Don't even think about it.
