Who exactly is this young man? He's freaking rich! He's practically a walking money-printing machine!
As the banquet drew to a close, a representative from the Starlight Charitable Foundation...
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked refined and cultured, walked up to Zhou Yang with a smile and respectfully handed him a POS machine.
"Young Master Zhou, thank you for your generosity tonight! This is our foundation's account, please take a look..."
Zhou Yang took the POS machine and was about to enter the password when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the person in charge with a half-smile.
"I've donated so much money, I should at least be able to see the detailed accounts, right? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease knowing that my money was spent without knowing why."
Secretary Li's smile froze slightly, and her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly recovered and returned to her usual humble and polite demeanor.
"What Mr. Zhou said is true. Our Starlight Charity Foundation has always adhered to the principle of openness and transparency. You can check the detailed records of every donation, the destination of the funds, and the specific beneficiaries through our official website or APP in real time. All data is online and publicly available, and is subject to supervision by the whole society."
As she spoke, Secretary Li even took out her phone, opened an app, and showed it to Zhou Yang.
The interface is quite professional, with all data entries clearly displayed.
Zhou Yang glanced at the card casually, gave a noncommittal "hmm," and then readily entered his password and swiped his card to pay.
"Beep—Payment successful."
Two hundred million yuan was donated so casually.
After the banquet, Zhou Yang walked out of the Brilliant Hotel together with Xu Yao, Du Zhe, Qin Yumo, Gu Huaiyue and others.
The night breeze was slightly cool, dispelling some of the effects of the alcohol.
Zhou Yang, with his hands in his pockets, gazed at the dazzling night view of Jindu and suddenly spoke softly.
"Don't you guys think this Starlight Charity Foundation... is kind of interesting?"
His words seemed nonsensical, but Du Zhe and the others were intelligent and immediately understood his implied meaning.
Qin Yumo frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of complexity: "Zhou Yang, these kinds of charitable organizations all have some... well, operating costs, so-called commissions, which are practically an industry norm."
Born into the Qin family, she naturally had some knowledge of these intricacies.
"Oh? Unspoken rules?"
Zhou Yang's lips curled into a playful smile. "So, how deep is considered a deep commission rate?"
Upon hearing this, apart from Xu Yao, who was still blinking her innocent big eyes, the expressions of Du Zhe, Qin Yumo, and Gu Huaiyue all became somewhat subtle.
Du Zhe frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes: "It's hard to say the exact percentage, but some unscrupulous people take 30% or 40% at most! Damn it, they're using other people's donations to line their own pockets, they're utterly despicable!"
Gu Huaiyue sighed softly: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There's nothing we can do about it. As long as they do some real work, everyone will turn a blind eye."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "My money can go down the drain, it can be fed to dogs, but I will never let these parasites feast on it and then turn around and laugh at the donors as fools!"
He paused, took out his phone from his pocket, fiddled with it for a bit, and dialed a number.
"Hello, Black Cat? This is Zhou Yang. Help me investigate the background of a organization called 'Starlight Charity Foundation'. The more detailed the better. Yes, it's the one in Jindu."
"Money is not the issue. I want to know just how clean, or... how dirty, lies behind every single one of their accounts!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang dialed several more numbers, all of which were well-known undercover reporter teams in the industry, known for their "fearlessness of power and dedication to uncovering inside stories."
Du Zhe was thrilled and slapped his thigh, "Brother Yang, you're awesome! Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! If you find any problems, my Du family will be the first to stand up for you!"
"These sons of bitches dare to target charity; they're utterly depraved!"
Although he was a playboy who spent money like water, at least he spent his own money, not money donated by others out of kindness!
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yumo firmly stated, "Zhou Yang, count me in. If they really have a problem, my Qin family will not sit idly by."
Gu Huaiyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she softly said, "Mr. Zhou, please don't hesitate to ask for any help you may need. Although the Gu family dislikes conflict, we can still distinguish right from wrong when it comes to matters of principle."
Feng Yuxuan, who originally wanted to protect herself, could only raise her hand with a wry smile under the threatening look of her cousin Du Zhe, who seemed to say, "You dare not help, just try it."
"Young Master Zhou, cousin, count me in. We at Dream Creation Entertainment will fully cooperate."
She sighed inwardly, thinking to herself, "This young master Zhou is really unpredictable. He's going to make a big splash right from the start!"
Seeing the indignant expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "There's no need for you all to be so tense. I'm just investigating and gathering evidence first."
"If there really is a problem, I won't make a move that will alert them. I will take things slowly and deal with them gradually."
He spoke lightly, but Du Zhe and the others saw a fleeting glint of coldness and determination in his deep eyes.
They knew that once Zhou Yang decided to do something, he would never give up halfway.
This Starlight Charity Foundation is probably in big trouble!
In an instant, everyone's respect for Zhou Yang rose to a new level.
This world needs such amazing people who are rich, capable, and have an upright and kind heart!
Not far away, a black Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove by, its window rolled down slightly, revealing Chen Lun's somewhat complicated face.
He had just attended the charity gala, but kept a low profile. He had overheard most of Zhou Yang's grand gesture on stage and his conversation with his friends.
“Zhou Yang…”
Chen Lun muttered to himself, his eyes darting around.
He had been holding back his anger ever since he lost the race to Zhou Yang, and he was thinking about how to get revenge.
But after witnessing Zhou Yang's actions tonight, he suddenly felt that this young man might not be as simple as he had imagined.
"A person who is brave and resourceful, wealthy and righteous... if such a person could become a friend, rather than an enemy..."
A meaningful smile slowly crept onto Chen Lun's lips.
He decided to secretly help Zhou Yang as well, just as...
I'll do him a favor, and also test this young man's abilities.
But no matter what he thinks, Zhou Yang naturally has his own path to follow.
There's a saying: "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."
Zhou Yang now has a cheat system, a mysterious background created for him by the system, and he gets a new ability or asset every week.
If we don't get up, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
Zhou Yang felt that since he had the ability, he should do more.
Whether now or in the future, the path he is determined to follow will never change!
