Chapter 42
"System, I want to discover side quests myself."
"Please speak, host."
"My previous practice of providing free monthly support to disabled and elderly people's spaces can be considered as a company taking on social responsibility."
"Judging in progress..."
"After assessment, the monthly free assistance to disabled and elderly people in the space-based activities has helped countless elderly and disabled people from impoverished families who yearn for the outside world to step out of their confined homes. The mission has been successfully assessed."
"The monthly free support for the space for disabled and elderly people has been completed, and 50 points have been awarded."
"Why is the reward for this mission so high?"
"In order to encourage all hosts to become responsible and world-loving entrepreneurs, and to increase the hosts' initiative to actively seek out tasks, and because the cost of completing this side task is high, the main system has specially increased the points for this side task."
Xia Ke was quite happy after hearing the system's explanation.
From this perspective, the system and the main system behind it are full of goodwill towards the host's world, which is many times better than the capitalists on Earth who only demand money.
Xia Ke never expected that her act of kindness would bring her 50 points in the charity space she posted in her shop.
The Space Ring Funding Program, which was initially handled by Xia Ke herself, involved her personally reviewing the materials, reading about the hardships suffered by the applicants, and then personally selecting the candidates to send out the Space Rings.
To be honest, the whole process wasn't very pleasant.
Although she hadn't experienced it firsthand, she could feel the applicant's pain and despair from those brief explanations. What was even more tragic was that she had to sift through the bitter applications to find the most painful ones, which made her feel like she was the most callous and bitter person in the world at that moment.
However, it's impossible not to screen applicants. After all, Hongqi Piao is a company, not a charity, and it's impossible for them to issue space rings to just anyone who applies.
Therefore, she handed this task over to Liu Yun as soon as she arrived.
＊
With a large weight lifted from her shoulders, Xia Ke finally felt relieved. She leaned back lazily on the sofa, propping her head up with one hand and idly tapping the table with the other.
She's just 100 points away from unlocking the purchase privileges for advanced space arrays.
"System, can donating sanitary products to girls in impoverished areas in the company's name be considered a mission?"
"The criteria for judging side mission 2 is that as long as the host's behavior can directly help others, it is acceptable, but there must be clear implementation rules and a continuous cycle. The host is prohibited from acting in order to gain points. Once the host is found to be engaging in behavior to gain points, three times the points will be deducted as punishment."
"So, does that mean the system monitors the legitimacy and compliance of the entire funding process?"
The system gave Xia Ke an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
"If employees within the company line their own pockets or engage in favoritism and fraud, can you also find out?"
"Can."
Xia Ke nodded, relieved that the system was monitoring her.
What is the most feared thing about doing charity? The most feared thing is that the funds are misappropriated or the project deviates from the original goal, does not truly serve the target group, and is stolen by some people for their own selfish purposes.
When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should help others. After Xia Ke became wealthy, she was willing to use her resources to help those who truly needed help, but she refused to let anyone use her charitable status to line their own pockets.
"Knock knock knock".
"President Xia, I'm here." Liu Yun's gentle voice rang out from outside the door.
"I plan to establish a dedicated funding department within Hongqi Piao Company. This department will be responsible for managing all of Hongqi Piao's funding projects and identifying new funding opportunities..."
Xia Ke was halfway through her sentence when she looked up and saw Liu Yun's thin, sunken cheeks.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Never mind, you should go back and rest. I'll have someone else do this."
"It's alright, Mr. Xia. I've just been in a bad mood lately."
Liu Yun had previously gone to purchase donated supplies for Hongqi Piao, and then took the donated supplies to the north, the area most severely affected by the disaster. She should have only returned yesterday.
The days of purchasing donated supplies were busy, but still within Liu Yun's capacity. She was efficient and logical, and even though the preparation of supplies was complicated and extensive, she still managed to do it in an orderly manner.
The real reason she lost so much weight was her personal involvement in the snow disaster relief efforts in the north.
She was in charge of sending the supplies donated by Hongqipiao to the most severely affected northern regions.
The aerial train is fast; it only takes three hours to travel from the western province to the north.
Looking down from the newly developed aerial train of Hongqi Piao, the further north you go, the thicker the snow on the ground becomes. The world is a pure white expanse. The mountains, rivers, highways, and cities are all covered by snow, and you can only make out the specific things under the snow by their faint outlines.
After the train arrived at its destination, Aso City, the once bustling city was buried by heavy snow, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white. There was not a single person on the road, and the entire city was as empty as a ghost town.
However, everyone knows that countless people are trapped in the buildings that are blocked by heavy snow.
After handing over the supplies to the relevant staff, Liu Yun also participated in the distribution of the supplies.
She went to Xuexiang, a famous tourist attraction in Asu City. Liu Yun had been there before, but unlike before when it was full of laughter and joy, this time Xuexiang only welcomed her with tears.
Some elderly people and children froze to death after the heating was turned off because they couldn't withstand the extreme low temperatures, while others were starving to death due to lack of supplies...
When faced with hardship, she was unable to express the shock she felt.
After witnessing these scenes of suffering, she couldn't sleep or eat for several nights, and she began to lose a lot of weight.
"Are you really sure you can do it?"
Xia Ke realized that she needed to hire a few more assistants, as Liu Yun alone was simply not capable of completing all the tasks she had assigned.
She had considered promoting Liu Yun's subordinates to take over some of her work, but the truth was that no one was more organized or easier to work with than Liu Yun.
So this matter was delayed.
"Yes, Mr. Xia."
"Let me continue what I was saying earlier. Our company is going to set up an external funding department. As the person directly in charge of this department, you can help follow up until we find suitable personnel. I have a few external funding projects in mind. Please write them down."
"The first project is to provide hygiene products for girls in impoverished areas, mainly sanitary napkins, underwear, and other similar items. The second project is to support children from impoverished families to attend university, but I require that the funds for this project not pass through the recipients' hands, but be directly transferred to the universities. The third project is to subsidize the treatment costs for serious medical illnesses. The only requirement for this project is that it is only for people who truly cannot afford medical expenses. You need to arrange for someone to write a charter for these projects, and once the charter is finalized, it will be implemented starting this month."
"Okay, Mr. Xia."
Liu Yun is always very efficient. That afternoon, she wrote out the plans for several funding projects and placed them on Xia Ke's desk.
At the same time, the system's voice also sounded.
"The mission of distributing hygiene products to girls in impoverished mountainous areas, subsidizing school fees for children from impoverished families, and providing financial assistance for large medical expenses has been successfully completed. The host has already begun implementing these tasks and there is a possibility that they will continue to be implemented. The reward is 150 points."
"If the host's rescue time is less than five years, it will be judged as mission fraud, and the host will be deducted 450 points."
Deducting three times the amount if you don't complete it is very reasonable.
