Chapter 381 Please Donate 100 Million
Han Wenxiu had a very good self-image. Even when faced with Lu Yiming's cold and distant attitude, she could still walk up to him and say calmly, "Lu Yiming, first of all, congratulations on being on the Hurun Rich List. You are so impressive at such a young age, and your future achievements will surely be limitless. But don't be proud and complacent. A great man once said that the rich should help the poor. You still need to continue to work hard."
Lu Yiming rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "Do I know you? Am I familiar with you? Why do you come to my house to tell me this?"
Ning Xuehua was sitting on the side, but couldn't help but scold him: "Xiao Ming, how do you talk to guests?"
Lu Yiming said unhappily, "Whose guest is this? Did you invite him or did Dad invite him? It's definitely not me. If you didn't invite him, then what kind of guest is he? And you asked to see me by name. I say, you two, if you have something to say, please say it quickly and don't delay my studies."
Han Wenxiu couldn't help but twitch her eyes. She was used to being superior. Seeing that Lu Yiming was young, she directly scolded him, "How can you be so rude, young man? We are from the Jishi Medical Association. Does the Jishi Medical Association know?"
Han Wenxiu has always been proud of her identity. In the past, relying on this identity, she was successful in everything she did. Now, facing Lu Yiming, she plans to use the same trick again.
She put on a preaching posture and said to Lu Yiming: "Lu Yiming, there are still many people in this world who need help, and the founding purpose of our Jishi Medical Association is to help those in need. This time I came to you to ask you to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
In the past, every time Han Wenxiu used this argument, she was able to impress the other party.
After all, for rich people, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is extremely important.
However, today, Han Wenxiu hit a wall.
Lu Yiming said coldly: "My good deeds are my business, what does it have to do with you? What? Are you trying to blackmail me morally?"
He knew the nature of this kind of people very well, so he chose to walk directly on their path, leaving them with no way out.
Han Wenxiu saw that Lu Yiming seemed to have seen through all her tricks. While she secretly thought that he was amazing, she still refused to give in. "What you said is too harsh. What do you mean by moral kidnapping? We are here to save people from suffering. You are slandering us, do you know that?"
After refuting twice, she continued to emphasize: "Besides, we don't spend the money ourselves, but help the poor. You are so rich, what's wrong with you showing some love?"
Faced with this dog-skin plaster, Lu Yi knew that today would probably not be a good day.
No matter how you try to reason with them, they are thicker-skinned than city walls and will not give up until you get the money. There is no chance of winning.
Lu Yiming thought he was unlucky and said, "Okay, how much do you want?"
Hearing Lu Yiming take the initiative to talk about money, Han Wenxiu decided not to care about Lu Yiming's impolite behavior just now. After all, she was a very generous person.
She smiled and said casually, "The heavy rain and floods in the past few months affected 29 provinces across the country, among which Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Heilongjiang were the worst hit. In Guangdong Province, there are also many victims who still need assistance. The funding gap is still about 100 million yuan, so..."
"One hundred million?"
Lu Yiming admitted that he had prepared himself mentally for the fact that “these people are really shameless”, but when Han Wenxiu said this number, Lu Yiming felt that he had seriously underestimated the shamelessness of these people.
Originally, it was just a small amount of money of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so he just gave it away, just as if he was giving away a beggar. After all, Lu Yiming was a person who was afraid of trouble.
But Han Wenxiu asked for one hundred million, which made Lu Yiming angry. Although he could afford the money, why should I give my money to you to waste for no reason?
Who do you think you are?
Lu Yiming looked at Han Wenxiu coldly, but Han Wenxiu was not to be outdone and still looked arrogant, as if it was natural for Lu Yiming to pay.
Lu Yiming never tolerated this kind of people. He snorted coldly and said, "I can give you the money, but I also have a few conditions."
Han Wenxiu thought that Lu Yiming was just like those rich people she had met before, who would soften their attitude immediately after a little entanglement. Thinking that a large amount of money would soon come into her account, she immediately promised with a smile on her face: "No problem, our Jishi Medical Association has cooperative relationships with many newspapers and magazines. As long as you are willing to donate generously, I promise to give you a big news story, help you publicize it, and increase your social visibility."
As if that wasn't enough, Han Wenxiu also said: "In order to improve the publicity effect, we can also moderately exaggerate the amount. For example, if you donated 100 million, we can help you publicize it as 300 million. This will surely cause a sensation in the whole society."
To put it bluntly, it is a trick to defraud donations.
However, Lu Yiming was not fooled. He just waved his hand and said in a businesslike tone, "That's not necessary. I don't like to cheat. My conditions are very simple. The Jishi Medical Association can ask me to donate money, but I have the right to supervise the final destination of the donation. I require the accounts to be open to the public and subject to public supervision..."
Before Lu Yiming could finish his words, Han Wenxiu was furious as if her tail had been stepped on. "Lu Yiming, I came to you with sincerity to cooperate with you. Please don't go too far!"
Lu Yiming looked at Han Wenxiu unwillingly, "It's just to monitor the flow of funds. Is my request too much?"
Han Xiaofang, who had been standing aside without saying anything, couldn't help but jump out at this time and loudly questioned Lu Yiming: "Why do you interfere with the internal operations of our Jishi Medical Association? Don't think that you are great just because you have a few dirty dollars. Do you know who we are?"
Lu Yiming had a cold face, and his expression was even more gloomy and frightening. He said in a deep voice: "Even if you are the king of heaven and earth to do charity, you have to make the accounts public. This is my condition. When you agree, you can come to me to discuss the donation."
"Tiezhu, show the guest out."
Zhao Tiezhu immediately stood in front of Han Wenxiu and Han Xiaofang, and gestured expressionlessly: "Please come in."
As a veteran who had been to the battlefield, his aura of having fought his way through the hail of bullets was not to be underestimated. As soon as he stood in front of the two women with his sturdy build, he completely suppressed their momentum.
After leaving Lu Yiming's house swearing, Han Xiaofang said with an unhappy expression: " This Lu Yiming is really a piece of shit. He is rich but unkind, arrogant and rude. He even dared to kick us out."
After cursing for a while and venting her anger a little, Han Xiaofang looked at Han Wenxiu unwillingly: "Aunt, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Han Wenxiu was naturally very unhappy with Lu Yiming's attitude. She came from a prominent family , and since she became the president of the Baiyun branch of the Jishi Medical Association, she had become even more powerful. When meeting celebrities from all walks of life, who would dare not give her some face?
As a result, a young man like Lu Yiming actually dared to ignore her and directly kicked her out. How could she swallow this?
"This Lu guy is so ignorant that he even dares to offend our Jishi Medical Association. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will have no idea of his own limitations."
Han Xiaofang had an angry expression on her face, as if jealousy was burning in her heart, and her expression was even more hideous and distorted: "He has so much money, why doesn't he donate? It's only 100 million, which is not a lot for him. He even wants to check our accounts. Is he qualified?"
Han Xiaofang is Han Wenxiu's niece. She grew up in a wealthy family and has never suffered any hardship. She has no concept of money at all. Anyway, she has never lacked money.
Whether it is 10 million or 100 million, in her mind, they are just numbers and there is no difference.
To put it bluntly, the concept of money has become blurred, just like those people in later generations who use mobile phones and the Internet to pay. They have not touched paper money for several months or even years, and their concept of purchasing power has become completely blurred. They have fallen into the consumption trap set by capitalists.
Although their entire assets may not be worth a hundred dollars, they always talk about hundreds of thousands of small changes, a few million will do, and only hundreds of millions are barely considered rich.
Han Xiaofang was like this. To her, Lu Yiming had a fortune of 4.2 billion, but he was unwilling to donate even 100 million to the Jishi Medical Association. This was simply a heinous crime. She immediately asked angrily: "Aunt, what should we do now?"
Han Wenxiu had a cold expression and gloomy eyes, and it was obvious that he was planning something bad again: "Let's use the old method. Let's ruin his reputation first, and then we can slowly deal with him."
"By the way, didn't a woman come to us for help a few days ago, saying that her child has spinal muscular atrophy? Contact her for me and tell her that there is someone who can help her. Ask her to kneel down to Lu Yiming at the gate of No. 1 Middle School."
Han Xiaofang understood immediately and said with a smile, "That's great. I heard that the disease can't be cured. It uses imported medicines, and the monthly treatment costs hundreds of thousands. The key is that as long as the medicine is taken, it's not easy to die. It's less than 10,000 a year, and 10 million in ten years. I want to see how long Lu Yiming can hold on."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
On the other side, Lu Yiming rudely sent the two people away, but he didn't know that he had been set up.
Ning Xuehua has always been kind to others and has never had a quarrel with anyone. She is always polite to people she knows or not. Seeing Lu Yiming drive Han Wenxiu and Han Xiaofang away, she felt that Lu Yiming had gone too far and said to him, "Xiaoming, these people are helping others with their money. It's a bit inhumane for you to drive them away like this. Although you are rich now, you must never forget your roots."
Lu Yiming was also helpless in the face of Ning Xuehua's good-natured character. People who came from that era were used to looking for the reasons in themselves first, no matter whether they were right or wrong. They would rather suffer a loss themselves than get embarrassed with others.
The most important thing is that Ning Xuehua had never been exposed to charity, and she thought that charity was really about using money to help people in need.
Lu Yiming immediately explained the ins and outs to her patiently: "Mom, it's not that I'm unkind, these people are just a bunch of greedy beggars who come here to beg for money. Forget about expecting them to help the poor. Look at the way they are dressed, you can tell at a glance that they are people who have never touched women."
"I dare not say that all charities are hypocritical, but at least 99 percent of them are like this. Instead of donating money to these people and expecting them to help the poor, I might as well just take the money and give it to people I see on the street."
After Lu Yiming's explanation, Ning Xuehua finally understood what kind of people these people were who used the banner of charity, and she also understood Lu Yiming's approach to a certain extent.
She had always been kind to others, but now she frowned and murmured, "How could they do this? Aren't they afraid of being punished by God?"
After careful consideration, Lu Yiming suggested to Ning Xuehua: "Mom, let's move."
Ning Xuehua was startled and asked, "Why are you talking about this so calmly? Where are we moving to?"
Lu Yiming sighed, "Mom, what kind of medical association is coming today? Maybe tomorrow there will be an agricultural association or an engineering association. Wouldn't you be annoyed to death by then? Why don't we live in Bi Hai Long Ting and directly greet the security personnel? Anyone who comes to us for money will be turned away."
Ning Xuehua rejected it subconsciously, "How can it be as exaggerated as you say? Isn't the house we live in now also a residential building? I was just caught off guard today, but I won't do that again in the future. I know you live alone in Bi Hai Long Ting, but you are old enough now and need your own independent space. It will be inconvenient for me and your dad to go there."
Although Ning Xuehua always said that Lu Yiming didn't go home for meals or sleep, as time went by, she gradually understood Lu Yiming.
After all, he is now worth more than 4 billion yuan and has many businesses. An independent space can bring convenience to Lu Yiming.
Ning Xuehua also heard that the relationship between Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue was progressing rapidly. After all, young people also need a space to be alone.
Seeing Ning Xuehua's insistence, Lu Yiming didn't say anything else. He thought about asking Zhao Tiezhu to arrange two people to directly squat in the community . If they saw any suspicious people approaching, they would directly arrest and drive them away.
Although this incident sounded a warning to Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming could do nothing about it. After all, all this was caused by Hu Run.
The next day after school at noon, Lu Yiming planned to take Shi Qingxue out for a big meal. The two of them walked out of the school gate talking and laughing , but a middle-aged woman came running over like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins. To everyone's surprise, she fell directly at Lu Yiming's feet, hugged his thighs and began to cry.
"Mr. Lu, please save my son. My son suffers from spinal muscular atrophy and needs imported medicine every week , but the medicine is too expensive and we have gone bankrupt. I heard that you are a good person, please save my son."
