Chapter 267: Chapter 186: Mu Mingxuan and Other Guests Make Donations

Jiang Ning searched online and found quite a lot of information about Hao Manman.

Hao Manman, a graduate from a prestigious school and a bona fide drama student, had been in the industry for eight years and participated in countless film and television dramas. She had a huge following in the entertainment industry, and to this day, there were no negative rumors about her, not even a whiff of romance with any male actors.

Rumors had it that paparazzi secretly followed her for three months, only to find that she was either on set or on her way to filming. People who wanted to slander her couldn’t find anything to go on.

Furthermore, apart from acting, Hao Manman also loved doing charity work. She not only donated money to impoverished regions every year but also provided food to stray animal shelters free of charge.

Whenever a natural disaster struck somewhere, Hao Manman’s studio would swiftly donate money and supplies to the affected area, gaining a lot of goodwill from the public.

With her exquisite acting skills and professional attitude, even though Hao Manman was already in her thirties, she still held an important position in the industry.

However, it was such a person, even praised by the paparazzi, that ended up on the System’s mission list.

Jiang Ning had caught more than a dozen criminals, which, so far, offered the most generous mission rewards.

A.D., 2013 A.D., 2015 A.D...

Looking at these three dates, Jiang Ning said, "It’s not possible for someone to have killed three people, right?"

The System responded, [The host has guessed correctly.]

Jiang Ning’s eyes grew cold as she looked at Hao Manman on the screen, as if she was looking at a beautiful viper.

The schedules of stars are public, so Jiang Ning searched for Hao Manman’s latest itinerary and found out she had a new movie coming out soon. These days, she would be following the crew to promote the new film in various cities. Capital City had already been promoted, so it was unlikely she would return there.

Jiang Ning managed to snag a ticket to Hao Manman’s commercial performance in Q City and also conveniently bought a plane ticket, planning to fly over tomorrow to ambush her. It was only by seeing Hao Manman in person that she could find out her specific criminal details from back then.

After doing all this, Jiang Ning rubbed her hands together like a scheming fly: "Come on, wasn’t there a raffle ticket just now? Time for a draw!"

[Okay.]

The System responded and the familiar roulette wheel appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning, now well-practiced, pressed the button and soon, a small orange gift box fell in front of her.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing a weapon*brick!]

The System whirred, and a plain, flat brick appeared before Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Jiang Ning picked up the simple brick to examine it more closely and found that it looked no different from an ordinary brick used for building houses.

This was the second weapon Jiang Ning had drawn; the flat-bottomed pan was still safely stored in the System Backpack.

Previously, she had used the flat-bottomed pan, which could easily break through a wall with a light swing. She wondered if this brick had the same capability?

Jiang Ning felt somewhat intrigued and then placed the brick into the System Backpack.

As soon as Jiang Ning placed the brick into the System Backpack, its size instantly shrank by several times. A dusty miniature brick lay obediently in a compartment of the backpack, next to it was a clean, shiny mini flat-bottomed pan. Looking at them together, they unexpectedly seemed somewhat cute.

Cute arsenal.

Mu Group suddenly released a screenshot of a sixty million donation.

The media, which had received the news earlier, reported on Mu Mingxuan’s donation one after another.

[Wow wow wow! Mu Mingxuan has made a donation!]

[Sixty million, a matter of integrity.]

[Madam Mu stated in front of journalists a while ago that the Mu Family absolutely would not accept Huo Miao as her daughter-in-law, and later there were rumors that Mu Mingxuan and Huo Miao had called off their engagement. Previously on the show, the three of them ate expensive rabbit meat together, but now only Mu Mingxuan has made a donation. Have they really fallen out?]

[At least Mu Mingxuan has some brains. Even though netizens may not remember, the internet never forgets, and if he hadn’t made that donation, he would owe that debt for the rest of his life.]

[Envious, sixty million, donated just like that.]

[Let’s be clear-headed, guys, he made this donation and deliberately released it through the corporation’s official Weibo. It’s just because he was recently scared by the netizens’ boycott and wanted to salvage the Crown Prince’s image in the hearts of the netizens.]

[Regardless of the reason, he donated the money and helped those kids in the mountainous areas, which is a million times better than those keyboard warriors who only talk big on the internet but never do anything practical. Support for Mu Group, hope they donate more often when they can.]

...

Sixty million is no small sum, and the reputation of Mu Mingxuan and the Mu Group visibly improved right before everyone’s eyes.

After all, Mu Mingxuan, Huo Miao, and Huo Ziheng originally owed Jiang Ning a total of 1.4 billion, which meant each of them had to donate just under fifty million on average. Mu Mingxuan donated a full sixty million, which definitely earned him a good deal of favor amongst the netizens.

But everyone’s favorite was still Jiang Ning. If she hadn’t proposed this deal, where would Jian Tiantian and Mu Mingxuan get the ninety million from?

After praising Mu Mingxuan for his integrity, netizens inevitably started sending "friendly reminders" to the other characters who hadn’t made their donations yet.

Among the celebrities who participated in the variety show, except for Jian Tiantian, whose career thrived and who frequently updated her adorable Weibo posts, the accounts of the other stars might as well have been frozen.

Netizens went through the accounts of each indebted guest one by one.

This was in fact not the first time netizens had come to "remind" these celebrities. Since the live broadcast of "Survive for 30 Days" ended, every day there were people on these celebrities’ accounts doing just that.

Just when everyone thought there would be no further developments this time, Lin Qi, Yuan Wei, and Ling Bo all posted screenshots of their donations within half an hour of each other!

Lin Qi donated ten million.

Yuan Wei donated eight million.

Ling Bo donated twenty-five million.

Netizens became heated.

In the program, according to the price Jiang Ning had set at the time, Lin Qi, Yuan Wei, and Ling Bo should each have donated just over twenty-four million.

Out of the three, only Ling Bo’s donation met that requirement.

Lin Qi and Yuan Wei subsequently gave phone interviews to the media, explaining that they had been frozen out by their companies, had their contracts terminated, and had to pay damages for breaching contracts and endorsements, leaving them with only so much to their names.

The pair described their situation pathetically. Netizens had mixed reactions, with some expressing sympathy, while others sharply commented that the two were playing the sympathy card, spending a little money to quell this integrity crisis for now, and waiting for the right opportunity to come back and make money.

Netizens engaged in lively discussions, and then fully turned their attention to Huo Miao and the Huo Corporation.

All the other guests who needed to donate had already done so. The only ones left who hadn’t donated were Huo Miao and Huo Ziheng!

Not to mention the money Huo Miao had previously made in the entertainment industry, with the backing of the Huo Corporation, a publicly listed company, could they really not come up with a measly billion?

Netizens: ...

A measly billion?

Damn, can they even say that?
