"I just think that to be allowed into the venue, one must not only have a strong background, but also know basic foreign etiquette. You certainly have no problem with that, but is your wife up to it? If she makes too much of a fuss and loses face, the higher-ups will definitely investigate."
Ke Meiyu smiled and linked arms with Ying Yan, "What are you going to the charity event for? Are you going to show your support or to donate money?"
"But I'm not going to suffer the hardship of working as a waiter and being someone's stepping stone."
"Even if there's a tip, I won't go. I'm not short of money."
A few words left everyone in the room stunned. They had originally intended to subtly tell Ying Yan that five years had changed many things, including the insurmountable gap in their social status.
As it turned out, they didn't get their point at all, and from a country bumpkin's perspective, they thought they were cheapskates who only went to watch the show and serve others...
Gu Yabei has a pretty face and a smile that always graces her lips, giving people a friendly feeling. Few people would dare to make trouble for her.
And she had never encountered anything that made her expression change; it was as if everything was within her expectations.
Her smile froze slightly this time, then she smiled and said, "It was my oversight. It would be great if we could work as waiters to support overseas people returning to China to serve, but we wouldn't have much freedom at the charity event."
"This lady reminded me that at the charity event, each guest can auction off one item in public, and the proceeds will be used for various projects undertaken by overseas Chinese."
"If the project generates revenue, the investors will receive five percent of the profits, and the term is twenty years! Many families in the South Campus have brought their children to participate."
Everyone turned their attention to the group of people in the South Courtyard, who shook their heads blankly.
It's likely that the elders received the news secretly and participated.
Being able to participate in projects openly and legitimately, even with small but continuous profits and the protection of the organization, is a rare opportunity to amass wealth.
However, this also requires them to have strong discernment. They can only make a profit if they invest in the right projects, and if the projects they invest in lose money, then it will all be for nothing.
But everyone present had some good stuff, so it wasn't that they couldn't afford to play.
"Then let's each go home and get our treasures first, and then head straight to the old Guo Mansion?" the third brother suggested.
They all live nearby, and it's just a few steps to get what they need; the motorcycle engine doesn't even have time to heat up.
It takes an hour or so to get to the old Guo Mansion from here, but the Ying family and the old Guo Mansion are located in opposite directions, one to the south and the other to the north!
“Sure, sure,” Curly responded immediately. “Ninth Brother, do you have any old items? Want me to lend you a set?”
Ying Yan shook her head. "No need."
"Ninth Brother, we decided to go to the charity event without asking your opinion. You're not going to disrespect your brothers, are you?" the Second Brother asked Ying Yan calmly.
Previously, their group's activities were not valid unless this prince gave his approval.
His words now have left everyone deeply moved.
“No,” Ying Yan looked back at the second brother, “Since I agreed to have a gathering with you today, of course I won’t leave early.”
