Upon hearing the news report, Yelena immediately stood up, grabbed the remote control, and turned the volume up to the maximum.
"All executives, skip your meals! Watch TV!"
All the senior executives turned their heads to look at the television.
The vice president, sitting not far from Yelena, asked with some confusion, "Chairwoman Ye, we often organize these kinds of educational assistance activities, and we've been on TV many times. Why do you attach so much importance to them?"
"Stop talking nonsense and check if there's anything fishy going on inside!"
Yelena stared intently at the television screen, afraid of missing any detail.
Through these encounters with Chen Luo and her observations and analysis of him, she has gradually figured out some of Chen Luo's behavioral patterns.
Whenever Chen Luo personally takes the stage, it's always a crucial move. His previous live broadcasts have significantly boosted the company's reputation to a level comparable to Ye's Education Enterprise.
Now, he's even personally appearing at a perfectly ordinary student aid event; there must be something fishy going on.
"No, Assistant Lin, call all the staff over immediately, and bring the computers over too, just in case!"
"Yes, Chairman Ye!"
Just as Assistant Lin stepped out the door, the television camera switched to focus directly on Chen Luo and Liu Hua.
Chen Luo picked up the microphone, looked ahead, and his eyes were filled with something inexplicable. Seeing this scene, Yelena suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Good afternoon, teachers and students.
"Because we need to visit all six high schools in your county today, our schedule is quite packed. I apologize for taking up your lunch break for this event!"
After finishing speaking, he bowed to all the teachers and students present, stood up, and immediately picked up the microphone to continue speaking.
"To avoid taking up too much of your time, I'll only say three sentences today!"
Huh? Three sentences? Shouldn't this kind of activity be a long talk?
The students below, who were initially somewhat resentful, looked at each other in disbelief. They had never seen anything like this before. Why make such a big fuss just to say three sentences?
"First! Because of us, all the students and teachers have not yet had their meal. We have arranged a banquet at a grand hotel later, and we cordially invite all teachers and students to join us for a meal!"
"Clap clap clap clap!" The students below spontaneously burst into applause after hearing this.
"Wow! What kind of company is this? They come to donate money and then treat us to a meal? And it's even a floor-style meal at the luxury hotel next door!"
"Putting everything else aside, this level of vision and this attitude of caring about students' stomachs is so much better than those stingy companies of the past!"
A murmur arose from below. The principal was about to stand up and quiet everyone down, but Chen Luo stopped him and took a deep breath.
"second!"
As soon as the two words were uttered, all the teachers and students on campus fell silent, and their eyes turned to Chen Luo once again.
"Our group is donating 1 million yuan to your school to cover the living expenses of impoverished senior high school students and their tuition and living expenses for the first year after they are admitted to university."
“In Guixian County, there are 369 registered impoverished senior high school students. We plan to donate 4 million yuan, which will be distributed directly to these students in cash.”
"In short, as long as you get into university, even if you can't afford it, we'll cover your tuition and living expenses for the first year!"
"good!"
Someone stood up and shouted "Good!" and everyone stood up, looking intently at Chen Luo with expressions of admiration.
Donating 4 million yuan in one go means that almost every impoverished student can receive around 10,000 yuan. Keep in mind that this is 2013, and the purchasing power of 10,000 yuan is far greater than that of money of equivalent value in later years.
Nowadays, the tuition fees for public undergraduate or junior colleges are generally only between 4,000 and 6,000 yuan, and the living expenses for most college students are around 1,000 yuan per month.
Ten thousand yuan can basically cover the tuition and living expenses for most impoverished students in their first year.
Furthermore, one detail that resonated with the students was that the money was distributed directly to them, rather than through the school or charitable organizations.
This ensures that all the money goes directly to the students and prevents it from being misappropriated or embezzled.
"third!"
What? There's a third one? Are there even more benefits?
Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Luo smirked and roared.
"Dismissed! Dinner served!"
"Hahaha! This boss is really interesting!"
"I didn't expect the third point to be disbanding the group directly. There really were only three sentences!"
"A company like that must be interesting. I want to work for a company like that in the future!"
"This doesn't feel like they're here to donate money; it feels more like they're here to put on a play for us!"
As all the teachers and students left to have their meals, the camera focused on Chen Luo's face, and the reporter began to interview Chen Luo individually.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your kindness to our county. I thank you on behalf of those impoverished students."
The reporter bowed to Chen Luo, and when she looked up and saw his young and handsome face, the 25-year-old female reporter was completely mesmerized.
Handsome, rich, young, and with a kind heart—a man like that is hard to find even with a lantern!
"It's just a small favor. During this period, our group will continue to invest more than 10 million yuan in various regions to help impoverished students. In order to avoid any bad situations, we would appreciate your supervision and attention."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the reporter, Chen Luo said he had to go to the next location and left immediately.
The television screen froze on Chen Luo's departing figure, and the reporter spoke passionately about the immense influence of Chen Luo's good deeds, but Yelena immediately turned off the television.
Yelena slowly sat down, and her face immediately darkened.
Because she couldn't see anything fishy about it, could this just be a simple publicity and donation event?
Is it merely to build a brand image and attract customers?
No, that's over ten million. Although that amount of money is nothing to Wenwan's company, it's a considerable sum for her education group.
After all, the other party's education group was crippled by her during the time Wen Xiu was in control, and it would be difficult for it to recover without a large influx of funds.
Unless Wenwan's parent company has injected a large amount of capital into it, what is the purpose? Just to spite me?
Countless possibilities surfaced in Yelena's mind, but one by one they were eliminated.
All the senior executives were discussing it in hushed tones, but to no avail.
At that moment, a finance director suddenly jumped up, grabbed his phone, and ran to Yelena.
"Chairman Ye! Quick! Watch this video!"
