"I made some money from overseas box office success. If you ask me if I want to spend this money myself, of course I do! Who works hard to earn money and then wants to give it to others? But I also have a patriotic heart. This money comes from the people and should be used for the people. I'm willing to use it to equip the country! You said you need 70 million to develop a new type of missile! I'll give you 70 million! I must see China's missiles aimed at the head of America!"
Leader Qu's eyes welled up with tears after hearing what she said.
"Young lady, you're quite impressive! You've greatly exceeded my expectations! I've watched Donglin grow up, and I knew before that you were highly educated, having studied computer science at Tsinghua University. You had a project at Tsinghua that even Japan couldn't replicate. After hearing Xueyi talk about it, I knew you were extraordinary! But I never imagined you would sacrifice personal gain to support the country. This is money you've worked so hard to earn, and I feel bad accepting it like this!"
Chu Yu smiled. The leader's rhetoric was quite impressive.
It's hard to say, but I wouldn't refuse, would I?
Chu Yu, being a leader, knew that leaders needed a way out; some things required three visits to a humble cottage, and some things required three requests and three concessions.
Therefore, Chu Yu put on an even stronger show of sincerity, "Leader! I won't be able to sleep well if you don't accept it! Aiming at the United States is not only your responsibility, but also the responsibility of our generation!"
When Leader Qu hesitated, Dai Xueyi realized what was happening and considerately said:
"Since she says so, you should accept it! Anyway, it's money earned from abroad. She has the ability to make money, and that's her own skill."
Leader Qu was still unsure, so Dai Donglin had to step forward and say, "Leader, this is Chu Yu's idea. She overheard our conversation by chance, which is a kind of fate! Since the country really needs this money, let's take it and use it first. We can develop our equipment, develop new missiles, and make our country stronger. Only then will businessmen like Chu Yu have a real protective umbrella to make money!"
Only then did Leader Qu agree.
What did Chu Yu say? Leaders are not ordinary people.
However, Chu Yu didn't donate 70 million just to curry favor with her superiors! She genuinely hoped the country would spend more money on missile development.
By developing new missiles and deterring neighboring countries and the United States, Chu Yu, as a businessman, can gain more benefits.
Only when the country is strong can each of us have strong resources; otherwise, no matter how much money you make, you will be looked down upon when you go abroad.
Chu Yu is not short of money. She has over a billion yuan in cash on hand, and her assets will multiply several times after this wave of the South China Sea market boom.
Donating 70 million to the country is nothing special.
Besides, given Dai Donglin's situation, she should donate more money; it would be a way to earn merit and ensure the country would protect her in the future.
Leader Qu never expected that he was just passing by to attend a meeting and chat with Dai Xueyi while checking out how the military region had developed. Leader Qu had lived here before and had an affection for the place; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to run into Chu Yu.
A young girl like Chu Yu might only have a few chances to bump into Boss Qu in her entire life.
Little did Leader Qu know that when he turned around to reminisce about the past, he would run into Chu Yu and even get 70 million from Chu Yu before leaving!
Leader Qu was pleased, and before leaving, he said to Dai Xueyi:
"You're a great daughter-in-law! Xueyi, thanks to you, we'll work hard to develop new missiles once this money arrives."
Dai Xueyi repeatedly agreed. Only after seeing the person off did Dai Xueyi breathe a sigh of relief. He pointed at Chu Yu and said with a mixture of affection and helplessness, "You, you are too bold! You dare to say such things in front of Leader Qu."
Dai Donglin, however, was concerned about Chu Yu's money. "You donated 70 million to Leader Qu, do you have any money yourself?"
Chu Yu thought to herself, of course I have money, but it wouldn't be right to say I have money in front of Dai Xueyi, would it?
"Rich."
"If all else fails, I'll donate it for you! I'll have Mi Fei calculate how much money Donglin Electric has, and how much I have in my account. I'll get the money for you!"
Chu Yu pressed down on his arm and said with a smile, "No need, Dai Donglin, I don't lack money. Don't worry, this amount of money is nothing to me. Do you think I'm so stupid that I can't even afford to eat myself, yet I still want to donate money to the country? I only donate because I have enough to eat in my own pocket and the money won't affect my life. I'm not as stupid as you think!"
Dai Xueyi never expected Chu Yu to do this. When he got home, he told Zhou Yun about it. When Zhou Yun heard that Chu Yu had donated 70 million yuan, she almost tore down the house.
"What! Seventy million! Are you kidding me! Could she be just making empty promises to show off? Does she even know how much seventy million is? Does she know what Leader Qu will think of the Dai family if we can't come up with that money?"
It wasn't that Zhou Yun looked down on Chu Yu, or that she thought Chu Yu didn't seem like someone with 70 million.
Zhou Yun felt that it wasn't worth it for Chu Yu to have the money go out of her daughter-in-law's pocket.
Of course, Zhou Yun was patriotic, but she was afraid that Chu Yu was too honest, like those people in the past who would rather starve to death than give food to the country. Chu Yu had to make sure he was well-fed and watered before he would think about donating to others.
Dai Xueyi chuckled, "You underestimate your daughter-in-law! She made two or three hundred million yuan in revenue from that movie, and she's also involved in real estate in the South China Sea, as well as skincare products, clothing, and a whole bunch of other businesses. She's incredibly wealthy! Seventy million isn't much, but I'm still worried she might suffer a loss!"
After all, he treated Chu Yu like his own daughter, and Dai Xueyi was afraid that Chu Yu would suffer a loss.
Zhou Yun, upon hearing how wealthy she was, was no longer worried about her. "You know, this girl is too honest. She can support an entire army by herself. If she really manages to build the missile, Xueyi, we'll be able to walk around this compound with our heads held high! It will also help your future!"
Dai Xueyi didn't necessarily rely on Chu Yu, but with Chu Yu's money, Dai Xueyi deserves great credit.
Chu Yu and the Dai family are in the same boat. If he does well, Chu Yu will benefit, and his descendants will benefit as well. Conversely, if Chu Yu does well, it will also bring glory to the Dai family.
