Chapter 375 A true philanthropist!

This is a common trick used by the charity and wealthy circles. She is used to it.

Therefore, seeing the state of Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao, she once again lowered her expectations for joining this charity foundation:

It was just a very ordinary job, to repay that gentleman's favor.

After I get this charity back on track, I will find a reason to resign and go back to continue doing what I love.

Thinking of this, she looked at Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao with neither joy nor sadness. She showed no enthusiasm towards her boss, nor did she show any coldness.

She nodded to Yu Qiaoqiao calmly and said, "Hello, Miss Yu..."

Yu Qiaoqiao quickly agreed, and was so nervous that she didn't know how to face it.

Seeing this, Chen Yan just gently grasped her hand, and then said to Yao Hong, "Since we all know each other, let's sit down and chat slowly."

As he spoke, he took the lead and sat down, followed by Yao Hong and Yu Qiaoqiao who sat on his left and right respectively.

Although he was a little confused about Yao Hong's attitude towards him, Chen Yan was not the kind of person who judged people by their attitude. He was very rational and talked to Yao Hong about the operation of the charity foundation.

Yao Hong is indeed a well-known manager in the charity industry, and she is particularly clear about the operation of charity foundations. Moreover, perhaps because she often has to publicize it to the outside world, her introduction is particularly organized.

Chen Yan listened carefully, comparing it with the information he had looked up during this period and the information he had obtained from the wealthy people of the Peninsula Club and Zhang Wanhao. He felt that Yao Hong's insights were more profound and effective.

This also dispelled his doubts about this woman.

He felt that although this woman did not seem very enthusiastic, she had real talent and knowledge.

After talking about this, Chen Yan also talked about Yao Hong's salary. He asked, "Ms. Yao, how much is your current salary?"

Yao Hong was not surprised to hear Chen Yan talking about this. She said calmly, "It's 13,000 a month now."

Chen Yan was a little confused, "You guys in the charity industry, are all paid so little?"

Yao Hong smiled and said, "It's not too little. This salary is already a lot for ordinary people."

She paused for a moment and added, "But... our overall salary is indeed not high."

"First, we do this mainly to fulfill our dreams. So even if the salary is a little lower, as long as we can do this job, we are very satisfied."

"Secondly, the public has high ethical standards for charity workers. If you work in this field and earn a high salary, the public will doubt your purpose in doing this."

After hearing what Yao Hong said, Chen Yan showed an understanding expression.

But he did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think about this?"

Chen Yan is intentionally cultivating Yu Qiaoqiao's ability to think for herself and stand on her own.

When Yu Qiaoqiao heard Chen Yan's question, she said weakly, "I don't know either... I feel a little conflicted."

She whispered, "I think if I can help others without making any money from the perspective of a practitioner, I would be willing to do that."

"But...I need to eat."

“If I don’t have enough food, how can I help others?”

Hearing Yu Qiaoqiao's cute words, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh , and even Yao Hong, who had been expressionless, slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

After Yu Qiaoqiao finished expressing her opinion, Chen Yan nodded and added, "You're right. But you missed some points."

"For example, if all practitioners are living in misery, this will discourage newcomers."

“Although the charity industry is not a business, it needs more outstanding talents to grow.”

"so……"

He looked at Yao Hong and said, "Ms. Yao, let's double your salary at our foundation. Twenty-six thousand. Is that okay?"

Hearing the price offered by Chen Yan, Yao Hong looked at Chen Yan with a little surprise.

She has met many wealthy people over the years. Each of them would say a lot of words or praise themselves, but none of them would directly give real money.

Maybe just like what Yu Qiaoqiao said just now, they would think that talking about money with someone like them who is striving for their ideals is an insult.

But... just like Yu Qiaoqiao said, even if you have ideals, you have to eat first.

But today, Chen Yan "insulted" her ideals with money for the first time.

She didn't feel any discomfort, but instead felt a slight joy.

When people reach middle age, their ideals are often defeated by reality. It is not easy for someone like her to still stick to her ideals. But she is willing to be more realistic.

However, although she was happy, she was not very moved by Chen Yan.

This is because she knows that all her money comes from the charity fund account. If she takes an extra ten thousand, it means that there will be ten thousand less for those in need.

Thinking of this, she actually felt a little guilty.

I couldn't help but hesitate whether to refuse this salary increase.

And at this moment, she heard Chen Yan say, "Besides, what about this money? I will give it separately to the other employees of the charity foundation."

“Don’t take up the money from the charity fund.”

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yao Hong looked up suddenly and looked at Chen Yan in surprise.

Then, she heard Chen Yan say, "Our foundation doesn't play those empty games. There are no management fees, operating expenses, etc."

"I'm donating 100 million yuan, and I'm going to use it all for people in need."

"Even the interest generated by the stranded funds was all used up."

"As for your salary and so on, I will transfer the money to the foundation separately. I will transfer it to a separate account, so that you can feel at ease when you receive the money, and you won't feel that you are spending the charity fund's money."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yao Hong looked at Chen Yan with shining eyes, and suddenly felt that her heart, which had been closed for too long, seemed to have opened a tiny crack.

But because of the "hurt" she had suffered over the years, she still didn't dare to hold too high hopes. Instead, she asked half tentatively and half expectantly, "Mr. Chen, your model is really worthy of emulation by other wealthy people."

"I have been working in the charity industry for many years and I know many friends in the media. Do we need to promote this method?"

Just as she had thought just now: wealthy people do charity mainly to promote their own companies and themselves.

This young rich man has done such a good thing, so it's normal to publicize it.

As a result, she heard Chen Yan hesitantly say, "Publicity?"

Then, Chen Yan really pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget about the publicity. We are just making an ordinary contribution. Don't draw too much attention."

"It's better to be pure when doing charity."

At this point, Chen Yan looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think?"

When Chen Yan heard those actions just now, Yu Qiaoqiao's eyes turned into little stars.

When she saw Chen Yan looking at her, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah! I think so too!"

Seeing how cute she was, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile. Yu Qiaoqiao also realized that she was a little too excited just now, and lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

Watching the interaction between these young men and women, Yao Hong felt mixed emotions for a moment.

As she looked at the two people, she always felt that they seemed to be glowing, emitting a faint, soft white light, as if angels had come to the world.

Does this young rich man really just want to do charity?

Could this really be the kind of pure philanthropist that I have been looking for all these years?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her nose.

She felt touched that her dream had come true, but also felt guilty for having misunderstood Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao.

Such a kind and wealthy young couple, and I actually thought of them like this just now.

Just as she was thinking this, Chen Yan spoke again.

He looked at Yao Hong, and then said awkwardly, "Ms. Yao, my company needs a lot of funds recently. So in the short term, I can only give out 300 million yuan for charity."

"Although it's a little, it's a token of our love for each other after all."

"You see, spend this money wisely."

"Once my company is back on track, we should have money in the second half of the year, and I will invest more then."

"We will strive to invest about 1 billion yuan in the first year."

"Look, with this amount of working capital, it shouldn't be a waste of your resources, right?"

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yao Hong was even more shocked.

Three hundred million in initial funding?

One billion yuan in funding per year?

Are you afraid that you will think it’s not enough?

Yao Hong swallowed.

She actually guessed at the beginning that Chen Yan might invest differently from other wealthy people. But... she underestimated.

After all, Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao look too young, and Chen Yan doesn't do any publicity, so it doesn't count as management fees.
