Chapter 313 How to truly do charity
In the last section, I just wrote about Shi Ting, and some readers left comments asking, "Who is this Shi Ting? Why hasn't he appeared before?"
I have to make a solemn statement. This book can only be read slowly. You won't understand it if you just skim through it.
The History Hall not only appeared, but also made a grand appearance several times.
The first time I saw him was when my master took me to the provincial capital. At that time, he was the director of the Transportation Department and wanted to get promoted. He asked for a fortune telling. Later, his younger brother Shi Er asked my master and I to look at the land.
The characters in this book are interwoven. Read carefully. This book also does not intend to create an incomparably noble Wan Shanhong.
He is a good man with flaws, a real person in real life. Don't replace reality with fantasy. I only write about the protagonists of ordinary life.
Okay, let’s continue with the story of Shi Ting.
Shi Ting said, "It's a long story," and then told me a story.
About ten years ago, he joined a charity organization and went to a high school with a group of caring people to provide financial aid, and they became one-on-one financial aid partners.
The other party was a girl in the first year of high school. According to the requirements of the "Charity Student Aid Group" at that time, the pairing object was to be assisted until graduation from high school.
He did support the girl with some money and material things until she finished high school.
The story would have ended there. However, one day, he received a letter from the girl. In the letter, the girl said that she did not do well in the exam and only got an average undergraduate degree.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if she hadn't done well on the exam. Three days after receiving the acceptance letter, her father broke his leg at the factory...
Finally, the girl begged him to support her and help her realize her dream of going to college. Shi Ting softened his heart, remembering that he, too, came from a poor family, and agreed. He then continued to support the girl's college education.
At this point, Shi Ting sighed and said, "This should have ended here. I did my best to help someone. I feel happy inside."
But, unexpectedly, after graduation, she came directly to me upstate and asked me to recommend a job for her.
She studied hotel business, so I recommended her to work at Yishu's hotel. After that, she often came to me for help.
I feel a bit annoyed. I've done everything I could to help her. What obligation do I have to help her?
As a result, she became accustomed to relying on me. Everyone in the company knew her and thought I had done something outrageous to her.
"Have I done anything out of line? Not at all. I just helped a greedy person."
Shi Ting was very angry.
I understand his anger.
Shi Ting paused for a moment and continued, "How shameless is she? She asked me to divorce my wife and marry her openly. This... this... is simply..."
Shi Ting was so angry that he couldn't speak.
I just listened quietly. Based on my experience of seeing countless people, although Shi Ting had a relationship with Xiaoyan, he was indeed innocent of this girl.
Maybe Xiaoyan had once caused him confusion, which made him restrain himself, or maybe this girl had not attracted him to the extent of a moth to a flame.
In short, I believe that he just has a habit of being a know-it-all and wanting to be a spiritual mentor to others. He did not touch this girl.
That's all that's good.
Shi Ting said, "This is the story of the farmer and the snake. She even went to my workplace and made a scene, causing a huge uproar. The organization then sent me to the trade union."
My spirit has also been declining day by day, and I rarely contact anyone, including you. So, after much thought, I've decided that I can't do good things."
I don't know where she got my office phone number. It keeps ringing. I pick it up, but the person on the other end doesn't say anything. I put it down, and it rings again a moment later.
I was afraid of delaying my work, what if it wasn't her calling? But when I picked up the phone, she didn't say anything, and sometimes she cried. It was so annoying, she almost drove me crazy.
I took a sip of tea and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you also have a responsibility. According to the general principle of charitable donations, you should give money to charity groups.
As for who the charity group supports and how much it supports, it has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is express your love. However, the charity group you encountered is clearly unprofessional.
“Why not professional?”
"Professionals won't pair you up with the recipients. If you pair up directly with the recipients, it will inevitably give the girls a specific person to be grateful to.
You became a concrete benefactor in her life. Consequently, she couldn't help but write to you, reporting on her studies. Over time, she also couldn't help but confide in you about her life's troubles.
At this time, you are also a person with troubles in life, so you transform yourself into a great and omnipotent image and tell her the principles of life. Then, she regards you as the spiritual pillar of her life.
Once you become her spiritual support and you are doing well in society, it will be natural for her to want to marry you."
Shi Ting took a sip of tea and said, "Teacher Wan, you're absolutely right. Yes, this girl is stupid. If she keeps pushing forward like this, what good will it do her?!"
She forced me to leave my family and even get fired from my job, what did she get?"
I said, "Some girls are like this. They feel wronged, angry, and their rationality is zero. If you don't marry her, she will ruin your reputation.
For her, what she gets is no longer important. What matters most is that she can vent her anger."
Shi Ting seemed a little cold and subconsciously wrapped his coat around him.
I lowered my head, thinking about what to do.
If Mr. Shi didn't trust me, he wouldn't tell this secret.
I looked up and asked, "It's Chinese New Year, she should be home, right?"
"Yes, I went home for the New Year. I was afraid that she would come and harass me every day after the New Year. To be honest, I have been living a life worse than death for the past two years. I wish I could die with her.
I have no choice but to talk to the master about my worries. Otherwise, if I keep my worries to myself, my lungs will explode.
"I know. Let me think about it. By the way, what's her name?"
"Zhang Xiaoxuan."
"Tell me everything about that girl. The more details the better."
Shi Ting began to describe the girl's height, weight, hobbies, family situation, and even living habits to me...
"It's not difficult to convince her. I just need to create a chance encounter. I need her to trust me."
Director Shi thought for a moment and said, "Have Yishu organize a dinner party and invite her to join you. To appease her, Yishu made her the assistant manager of the lobby."
I said, "Then let's do it this way."
Mr. Shi wanted to invite me to dinner, but I declined.
I went downstairs and started walking back alone.
Shi Ting isn't the only one to share this story of the farmer and the snake. As one entrepreneur put it, you can donate money, but never attend any meetups.
Those who attend meetups and offer one-on-one support to so-called philanthropists are not truly doing charity. They hope that if they donate money, others will be grateful.
True charity is giving money without expecting gratitude. We just hope that the money is truly used for charitable causes.
How to convince Zhang Xiaoxuan? I think it is not an easy task.
Take it slow and talk about it after this Spring Festival.
