Chapter 141 The Fake Daughter of a Wealthy Family 7
At the beginning of the year, Albert Rockefeller, the de facto ruler of the Rockefeller family, who had just been elected as the world's most influential person by Time magazine and was selected into the most important "Titans" economic and social leaders category of the "Global Influential 100" list, and ranked first among the Forbes' top ten most influential CEOs, announced a jaw-dropping news.
He expressed his shock and concern about the sudden outbreak. For this reason, he will donate US$100 million to China's G City for the health and medical industry, and provide related supplies, hoping to allow people to return to normal life as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Michaela Education Foundation was established to specifically help Chinese children who are unable to go to school due to financial difficulties. As long as they meet the requirements, the foundation will provide free funding until they graduate from university.
This news left many people confused. What was going on? Did the Rockefeller family want to enter the Chinese market?
But many smart people noticed that the $100 million donated by Albert was not in the name of the Rockefeller family, nor in his personal name, but in the name of a not very well-known person - Michaela.
Add to that the name of the Lenovo Foundation and the welcome banquet that was held not long ago, what else is there to not understand?
I did hear that Albert's newly adopted little daughter is half Chinese. It seems like this is because he loves his daughter so much?
But isn’t this love a bit too much? One hundred million dollars, in US dollars! He even set up a foundation!
For a while, the people of Country M were constantly criticizing Albert, and some even jointly protested to a certain palace. The reason was nothing more than that he had money but did not donate it to his own country. Instead, he was turning his elbow outward. He did not even set up a foundation in his own country, but was specifically helping foreign children. There was definitely something wrong with his stance!
In response, a Rockefeller family spokesperson subsequently issued a statement:
[Because his little daughter had been living abroad, she was able to grow up healthily with the help of the Chinese government and many caring people. Albert was deeply grateful for this, so he established the foundation, hoping to pass on this love to more people.
As for the epidemic, it is not a matter of one country or one region, but a problem faced by all mankind in the world. Humanity is a community, and in the face of disasters we need to abandon prejudices based on nationality and skin color, unite as one, and work together to overcome difficulties.
Today is China. If other countries or regions encounter similar situations in the future, the Rockefeller family will also provide assistance! 】
As soon as this statement was released, the first thing it received was strong praise from the World Health Organization. The current Director-General Lee Jong-wook said:
"As one of the founding countries of the organization, China has been paying close attention to the incident. We will send a national expert group to China to cooperate with Chinese personnel, contribute professional knowledge and answer practical questions.
We highly admire and praise Ms. Michaela Rockefeller for her generous support! We sincerely hope that more people will devote themselves to the health and charity industries.”
Later, at a regular press conference, the Chinese government's Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed deep gratitude to the Rockefeller family for their various initiatives and quoted the words of the top leader on the spot:
"I am very happy to have such a fate with you. I hope Mr. Albert and Michaela will have the opportunity to come back often. This will always be her home."
At that time, the Internet was not particularly developed and paper media still dominated the mainstream. The bookstands next to the school still placed tabloids containing gossip about celebrities from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in prominent positions.
However, the development speed of the Internet is increasing day by day. The number of registered users of the emerging chat software has reached 100 million, and Internet cafes are springing up like mushrooms after rain, covering almost all large, medium and small cities.
The popularity of games such as "Legend" and "Miracle" has led a large number of boys to linger in Internet cafes, while girls are more addicted to online chatting.
Through reports from mainstream media and the spread of online chat software, coupled with the fact that the epidemic was affecting the hearts of people across the country, almost overnight, everyone remembered a name:
Michaela, Chinese name Su Youran.
"I heard that her father has hundreds of billions of wealth! Hundreds... hundreds of millions! In US dollars! US dollars! How much would that be converted into RMB!"
"I heard that the child was abandoned at the door of an orphanage. I don't know who is so desperate. She has a boyfriend worth hundreds of billions, but she didn't let him go and abandoned the child?!"
"I heard from my eldest sister-in-law's brother-in-law's classmate's friend that the girl has been smart since she was young. She always ranks first in the county in every exam. It turns out that her genes are different..."
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have adopted her. Maybe when her father comes, he can give us a hundred or half a hundred million! Even if it's not that much, a few million is good too. I don't mind!"
"Haha, go away. Don't you despise me? I despise you!"
"Oh my goodness, one shot is 100 million... How much is this 100 million? Can it fill up a room?"
"I can buy all the houses in this city. What do you think?"
"Oh my God! This is not a girl at all, it's a golden egg! Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed! Even if she just lies still every day, she can guarantee her descendants for the rest of her life!"
"Rich people will always look for someone who is rich and powerful. Don't they always care about... something like being well matched... Yes, it's a well matched relationship! This is called an arranged marriage, just like marrying a princess in ancient times."
Countless similar conversations are heard in the streets and alleys of every city. The adults just treat it as gossip, sighing to each other that the rich are really rich, while the older aunts and grandmothers criticize the unreliable mother.
But young boys and girls have an additional unspeakable dream.
Girls began to fantasize about having a rich father who would pick them up in a luxury car and with a butler.
Boys can't help but be curious about the "Archangel" who is said to be good-looking, good at studying, and now has a wealthy family. How good-looking is she?
If the "100 million" donation was shocking and unbelievable to these onlookers, then the impact on the orphanage where Su Youran originally stayed and other related personnel was like a tsunami.
As soon as the news came out, the orphanage received waves of visits.
Not only did the county leaders come, but even the city and province sent people to come, to find out what the life of the little girl who has now become a golden egg was like before, and whether she had ever been wronged or treated unfairly.
You know, if it really happened, it would probably turn into a diplomatic incident!
"No, no! Absolutely not!" The director of the orphanage waved her hands repeatedly: "Ranran has been smart and well-behaved since she was a child. She doesn't fight or compete. Whether it's us or other children, we all like her very much. How could we bully her?!"
"Yeah yeah."
The principal of the elementary school that Su Youran had attended was also here. His face was full of smiles, almost wrinkled.
"Ranran is also a good student. He always ranks first in the county. He has been the class monitor since the first grade. He is always willing to help others. The teachers and classmates like him very much!"
The principal looked at Secretary Zhou who was hiding behind the big leaders, his eyes flickered, thinking that this was a rare opportunity, and he could just give him a good deal, so he immediately said:
"Secretary Zhou should be very clear about this. Ranran has always been a desk mate with Zhou Peng, and they have a very good relationship!"
Zhou Hongwei: …
He squeezed his palms, which were sweaty...
Everyone looked at him, and he could only laugh dryly:
"Yes, my boy and...she are deskmates, and their relationship...relationship...is OK, haha...she is very enthusiastic and often helps my boy...and other classmates. Don't worry, there is absolutely no unfair treatment!"
Zhou Hongwei got angry when he thought of his son who was still crying at home! After Su Youran was picked up, he asked her carefully about what kind of person she was and what her relationship with him was like.
When he first heard all the praises, he thought to himself: This little girl is really outstanding, as expected, like nature breeds nature.
But the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong. What did she mean by helping with all the homework? She even helped with the painting homework? !
He was so angry that he picked up a broom and beat his son severely. If this wasn't bullying, then what was it! It was simply oppression of the weak and innocent classmates!
No one would believe his words "Ranran took the initiative to bring it up!" "Ranran insisted on helping me!"
The little girl doesn’t even know how scared she is by you!
In the end, if his mother hadn't stopped him by crying, Zhou Hongwei would have really smashed the broom!
But I'm angry. After all, he is my real son. Can I really beat him up? What has been done has been done. I can't turn back time. I can only pray that the other party will not pursue it...
At that time, Zhou Hongwei only knew that Albert and his group were of extraordinary status, but he did not expect them to be so extraordinary!
One hundred million US dollars, it’s donated just like that...and that foundation is a money-eating beast, and we don’t know how much money will be invested in it in the future.
With such strong capital, plus the country's statement, unless he makes a serious mistake in the future, he will be a person who needs to be worshipped!
The beloved little daughter of such a big shot is being bullied by his son in the country...
A gust of wind blew, making Zhou Hongwei shiver. If his career was over, it would definitely be all his son's fault!
There was another person who was as panicked as him.
Zheng Yuan stood in the corner, trying her best to reduce her presence. If someone discovered what she had done...
No! It won't be discovered! She clenched her hands into fists, her nails almost scratching her palms. When this period of storm is over, she will resign, take her family away from this place, and never come back!
This incident affected quite a few people, and the orphanage welcomed a wave of adoptions, with countless people coming from all over the country to adopt children there.
Some of them have a bit of utilitarianism in their minds. Growing up with the daughter of a world-class tycoon, maybe there will be some unexpected benefits in the future...
But most of them really love children and want to do good things.
After investigation, the dean and the government agreed to the adoption requests of some families.
In a short period of time, the orphanage changed dramatically. The walls were renovated, the yard was more than doubled in size, and two new buildings were built to serve as dormitories for the children. No more than a dozen people had to squeeze into one room.
The original children went their separate ways with their adoptive families, but that doesn’t mean there are no more orphans here. On the contrary, because of the nationwide fame, more and more children were abandoned at the gate of the orphanage.
Maybe the people who abandoned them thought that the conditions here were better?
This is indeed the case. Since then, the orphanage has been a key support target in the county and even the province, and policy support and social assistance have never been interrupted.
Every kid that comes in here knows that everything they have is because of one person.
And it is not only them who benefited from this person. There are also countless people who received timely rescue and saved their lives, as well as thousands of children and families who received educational funding and were able to go to school in the future.
In addition, Zhao Tingyi also benefited a lot. Many people knew that he had taken good care of Su Youran before. It was said that before she was taken away, she came to say goodbye to him and talked for a long time.
As a result, Zhao Tingyi found that his engineering career was going more and more smoothly. The departments that used to block his procedures no longer had any arrogance when they saw him, but became warm and friendly.
Since then, his business empire has continued to expand until he became a new generation of real estate tycoon, and has gradually extended his reach overseas.
There, there was someone he had decided to take care of for the rest of his life.
