Chapter 140 A Blue "Egg"
Of course, there were also some people with bad intentions who were plotting against the establishment of the Soong Family Pension Fund.
For example, the brothers Wang Zhihong and Wang Zhixin have an old father named Wang Degui. Their mother passed away early, and it was Wang Degui who raised the two brothers single-handedly. He worked hard to support them in school and help them learn skills. Later, he helped them save money to build a house and get married.
But in the end, the two brothers left Wang Degui, who was already in his seventies and in poor health after a serious illness, in the old house. They never went home to visit him all year round, nor did they support the elderly.
No one in the village knew how many times they had scolded the Wang Zhihong brothers.
Now, seeing the Soong Family Pension Fund, the two brothers had an idea: could their old man also receive this pension? 1,500 yuan a month was a considerable sum of money for them, who also lived in the countryside, especially if they held it for a long time.
So, after confirming that the old man really had this pension, he immediately made up his mind.
First, they went to collect the money in the name of Wang Degui’s son, or to collect it on behalf of Wang Degui, but were all rejected by the village committee.
That’s right, this time the rural pension will be distributed directly to the elderly by the village committee, and no one, not even their children, can collect it on their behalf.
The village committee is supervised by the entire village. Once someone in the village committee embezzles money and reports it online, it is a crime.
The Wangjia Village Committee has long known the character of the Wang Zhihong brothers, so how could they possibly give Wang Degui's pension to them?
Seeing that their first plan failed, the Wang Zhihong brothers implemented a second plan.
For example, they would use a pathetic plot to ask Wang Degui to give them his pension money, but Wang Degui had already seen through the true faces of the two beasts, so how could he possibly give it to them?
The Wang Zhihong brothers came up with another plan. They would live in the old house first, and when Wang Degui’s pension was paid, they would take it and leave.
This also didn't work. If Wang Zhihong had taken the money that day, he would have been arrested and put in jail.
Seeing this, Wang Zhixin could only think of another way, such as taking Wang Degui home to support him and asking Wang Degui to pay him money every month.
When the village committee saw this situation, they immediately said that since the old man had a healthy and working son to support him, he did not need the pension money, and they stopped paying the pension immediately.
How could Wang Zhixin really want to support Wang Degui?
In the end, he had no choice but to send Wang Degui back to the old house.
Wang Degui returned to the old house and felt that the air was much fresher. He had already seen through the true faces of the two beasts and felt that it was good to live alone without having to face the beasts every day. He used to worry about not having money, but now, 1,500 yuan a month was enough for him to live on.
The Soong Pension Fund is really great, and the boss is a really nice person.
Of course, there are also some elderly people who were previously abandoned, but voluntarily handed over their pensions because of a few words from their children.
After the village committee learned about this, they immediately stopped and recovered the pension payment, and put the elderly person on the blacklist. No matter how miserable they were or how much they cried, they would not receive the pension again.
…
After the establishment of the Song Family Pension Fund, Song Zhining felt more urgent to make money.
Seeing through surveillance that the three fruit trees on the outskirts of Shanghai were ripe, Song Zhining wanted to go back and take a look.
That milk fruit, if prepared well, could be her fortune fruit.
She wanted to go back immediately, but was stopped by something.
"Sister Ningning, there is a charity dinner here the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come?" Li Jing asked on the other end of the phone.
After Li Jing's explanation, Song Zhining realized that it was a high-end charity dinner, and many celebrities and bigwigs would attend the dinner.
Of course, those who want to participate must also bring at least one item to the auction, and all proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity.
Song Zhining discussed it with Grandpa Charles and decided to go anyway.
"Grandpa Charles, what do you think I should take to the auction?" Song Zhining was a little conflicted.
"Miss, you can take out any item from the shipwreck. They are all very valuable." Charles reminded.
Yes.
Song Zhining remembered that there were several boxes of jewelry in the shipwreck. It seemed that one box was full of red diamonds, one box was full of blue diamonds, one box was full of pink diamonds, one box was full of green diamonds, and the last box had all kinds of colors.
Some of these diamonds have not been carved yet and are still in their natural appearance, while others have been carved into luxurious and exquisite jewels.
"How about this, Grandpa Charles, please help me pick out a medium-quality piece of jewelry from these and send it to this charity auction."
"Okay, miss, leave it to me, I'll arrange it."
[Ding! You have new commission message, please check it! ]
As soon as she finished talking to Charles on the phone, Song Zhining heard a notification from the APP.
Song Zhining's eyes lit up. After such a long time, APP finally received a new commission.
So, Song Zhining plunged into the new commission and left the selection of jewelry to Charles. She no longer paid attention to it and just had to attend on time.
On Charles' side, after hanging up the phone with Song Zhining, he immediately took action.
Because he was in Jia Country, and all the things from the shipwreck had been sent to Country A for preservation, so at this time Charles could only video call his subordinates there and ask them to open the boxes of diamonds and jewelry.
As soon as the box was opened, the brilliance of the diamond immediately flashed out, dazzling and eye-catching.
Among them, the largest one is as big as an adult's fist, the smallest one is as big as a marble, and the most common ones are the size of eggs.
"The eldest lady said to choose the one in the middle, about the same size, so..."
"Take that blue diamond, an egg-sized one, and send it to me in Jiaguo as soon as possible."
Following Charles' order, his men randomly picked a blue "egg" from the box of blue diamonds.
A few hours later, the blue "egg" was delivered to Charles.
Charles took a quick look and sent it to the Tianyuan Charity Dinner in the name of Song Zhining from Cuican Entertainment.
As for the Tianyuan Charity Dinner, since the news of the charity dinner spread, those who were invited to the dinner have sent items to be auctioned. Some people who were not invited also sent items to be auctioned, hoping to get an invitation to the Tianyuan Charity Auction Dinner.
Speaking of which, the Tianyuan Charity Auction is the most prestigious, highest-threshold, and most authoritative auction in Beijing. It has a history of nearly a hundred years from its establishment to the present, and can be said to have continued from the Republic of China period to the present.
Those who are invited to attend the Tianyuan Charity Auction Dinner are all bigwigs from various fields or famous celebrities.
Regarding the pension issue, I saw some friends pointed out some problems in the comment section, and some friends said that this pension should not be established, but I still want it to be established. In the novel, try to help those poor rural elderly people. Many rural elderly people, unlike urban elderly people, have pensions and medical insurance. Of course, there are definitely some problems, but problems can be solved and avoided. Only this pension and this hope can make the lives of rural elderly people better.
