Chapter 299: Raising Funds for Charity and Deceiving Girlfriends
"I've already found out. The man just now was from a charity foundation in Shanghu." After a brief interrogation, Lu Shan hurried back to report to Zhang Ye: "According to him, Xu Linlin raised a sum of money and originally planned to donate it through this charity foundation to the people affected by the disaster in Zhijiang area."
"However, serious disagreements have arisen between the two sides over resource allocation issues."
Hearing this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself thoughtfully: "No wonder she was so nervous just now. I thought she was so reserved because we hadn't seen each other for a long time."
"Now that I think about it, she probably felt so guilty that she was embarrassed to look me in the eye."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but shook his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his face.
This matter is really ironic.
Back then, Xu Linlin's father completely disregarded the lives of millions of people and insisted on blowing up the Qujiang Dam, just to exchange for the resurgence and rebirth of the Duan faction.
But now?
As a daughter, she worked tirelessly, running around and doing her best to raise funds for the purpose of helping the victims who were struggling in the abyss of misery.
It's true that a son pays his father's debt! Xu Linlin has demonstrated through her actions what it means to be a filial child who atones for her father's sins.
"Arrange someone to protect her secretly. What happened today must never happen again." After a while, Zhang Ye was still a little worried and decided to take care of the girl secretly.
No matter what, she is one of Zhang Ye's few friends. Although the two have different positions, public is public and private is private, and there is no need to mix them together.
Besides, Lao Xu should be held responsible for the mistakes he made!
……
As night falls and the lights come on, the bustling and noisy Shanghai city is decorated with dazzling lights, making it look like a dream.
Located in the city center, the Shanghai International Hotel is like a palace towering into the clouds, emitting charming light.
Xu Linlin walked slowly into the hotel lobby with heavy steps.
She looked lonely and tired, as if the weight of the world was pressing on her weak shoulders.
After a busy day, she was exhausted, but there were still many things waiting for her to deal with.
Finally arriving at the door of her room, Xu Linlin gently pushed it open, and a warm breath hit her face.
Under the soft light in the room, a girl in a goose yellow nightgown was standing there. Her long, shiny black hair was casually draped, falling on her shoulders like a waterfall.
Seeing Xu Linlin enter, the girl hurried over to greet her, her eyes full of concern. She quickly said, "Linlin, look how exhausted you are! Can we hire two people to help? Even a strong man can't stand doing everything by himself!"
Xu Linlin shook her head helplessly, then slowly walked to the soft sofa and collapsed on it.
She stretched out her hand, gently rubbing her fair eyebrows, sighed and said, "Alas... It's not that I don't want to find someone to help, but in this world today, finding a reliable person is harder than climbing to the sky!"
"Besides, we only have so little money on hand, which is not even enough to buy supplies, so how can we have extra funds to hire professionals?"
After saying that, she sighed heavily again, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and confusion.
"That's right." The girl nodded slightly, gently picked up a cup of steaming tea with a faint fragrance, and slowly moved it closer to him.
Her eyes were focused and bright, as if filled with endless enthusiasm and anticipation. She couldn't wait to report on her progress. "I contacted many alumni today. After hearing about our rescue operation, they responded very positively and expressed their willingness to provide help and support!"
Having said that, a hint of joy appeared on the girl's face.
After a brief pause, she continued, "Based on the current situation, I estimate that we should be able to receive a remittance of tens of thousands of dollars in about three days at most!"
"Not bad, not bad..." Xu Linlin, who was sitting opposite, nodded with satisfaction after hearing these words, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a relieved smile.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes, reached out a hand, and gently patted her best friend's shoulder. She praised her generously, "Xiaohui, I have to say, your organizational skills are absolutely impeccable! However, you still lack a little thoroughness when considering things."
After a pause, Xu Linlin continued her analysis, "Just asking ordinary alumni or current students for help in raising funds, while everyone is enthusiastic, their own financial resources are limited, and it's difficult for them to come up with a large amount of money all at once. Therefore, we need to take a longer-term view and look for those truly wealthy and powerful individuals."
"For example, many of the students your father taught have now held important positions and become government officials. As a junior sister like you, if you were willing to ask for help, they would be willing to give you a favor. Wouldn't we be able to raise more funds that way?"
After saying that, Xu Linlin looked at her best friend with a smile, as if waiting for her response.
"It's so easy for you to say that. How can it be so easy? I dare not show up easily!" Huang Xiaohui pouted in dissatisfaction, full of doubts and fears about her bad idea.
After all, their fundraising to help the disaster victims was a secret operation. If they went to those familiar people for help without hesitation, although they might be able to quickly raise some funds, the matter would probably reach the ears of those old guys in an instant.
If things go wrong, I might get scolded for it.
However, Xu Linlin, standing by, seemed unfazed, even boasting shamelessly, "Why should we be afraid? We're actually doing a great thing! Even if Old Xu were here, I wouldn't be afraid of him at all!"
Obviously, Xu Linlin seized this opportunity to further deceive her best friend.
You know, Huang Xiaohui is not a girl from an ordinary family.
Her father, Huang Weize, devoted his entire life to education and cultivated countless outstanding students. It can be said that he truly has many outstanding students all over the world.
These students are now scattered across various middle and senior management positions in the Duan Department and possess considerable connections and resources.
If Huang Xiaohui was willing to ask her fellow disciples for help in raising funds at this moment, the amount would definitely be considerable, and it would be no problem to easily raise three to five million.
