The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 229 - 229 220 217 Live Sponsorship

229: Chapter 220 Chapter 217: Live Sponsorship 229: Chapter 220 Chapter 217: Live Sponsorship “Little girl, why are you here?” Yan Bu’er immediately embraced a little girl whose clothes were slightly cleaner.

“Uncle, I’m cold!” The little girl sniffled.

“Would it be okay for uncle to give you some money to buy clothes?” Saying this, Yan Bu’er immediately took out one thousand yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the little girl’s pocket, “Take this money and buy a nicer set of clothes, alright?”

Journalists swarmed in an instant, each holding long and short cameras, and just like that, a ‘classic’ photo was produced.

The next day’s newspaper and media immediately featured a picture of Yan Bu’er holding a crying little girl, with one thousand yuan stuffed into the little girl’s pocket, under the headline: Orphan Grateful with Tears.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please step inside!” Yan Bu’er said with a light smile.

A stage was set up at the venue, and Yan Bu’er, Minister Zhang, and several caregivers from the orphanage stood on the stage.

First up was Minister Zhang of the Publicity Department to give a speech.

The Minister of Publicity briefly spoke a few sentences, essentially advocating for citizens to pay more attention to the development of government welfare programs and support charitable activities.

He also thanked Mr.

Yan of Great Development Group for his contributions to Jianghuai City.

“Now, let us invite Mr.

Yan, the CEO of the Great Development Group, to speak!” Minister Zhang said with a smile.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately rang out, mostly from the government and staff of the Great Development Group present at the scene.

Despite the cold winter, clapping hands were particularly painful.

But still, everyone clapped vigorously, even though their hands were red and swollen and everyone felt their noses sting from the cold wind.

Yan Bu’er walked onto the stage and waved slightly with an authoritative air.

Having sat as the CEO of Great Development Group for so many years and secretly leading the members of the Flame Dragon Gang, he naturally had a commanding presence.

As he gestured, everyone immediately quieted down.

Yan Bu’er smiled faintly and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Jianghuai is my home, and charity depends on all of us.

Thus, the many things I, Yan Bu’er, have done for Jianghuai City are just about being a leader, and I only hope everyone will support the development of charitable activities and care for the lives of the underprivileged in the future.”

The words spoken by Yan Bu’er were just scripted by his secretary beforehand, and then delivered by Yan Bu’er.

This speech got everyone at the venue very excited; it seemed Yan Bu’er was indeed a great man.

“On behalf of the board of directors of the Great Development Group, I have decided to donate one million to the Fuxing Orphanage in Jianghuai City!” Yan Bu’er immediately raised a forefinger.

Applause broke out again, one million was an astronomical figure for many people, and for the orphanage, it indeed was nearly two years’ worth of development funds.

Lingzi’s mother immediately went up to the stage, took the microphone, and said excitedly, “On behalf of Fuxing Orphanage, I sincerely thank the government, Minister Zhang, and Mr.

Yan.

Thank you!”

Afterward, Yan Bu’er’s secretary immediately handed a check for one hundred thousand yuan to Lingzi’s mother.

“Wasn’t it one million?” Lingzi’s mother was taken aback.

“Oh, Director, this one hundred thousand is the initial donation; the remaining nine hundred thousand will be allocated to your account over the next nine months, one hundred thousand per month!” The secretary smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr.

Yan keeps his promises.”

“Alright!” Lingzi’s mother nodded.

“By the way, when the media asks later, just say the Great Development Group has given you a check for one million, okay?” The secretary looked at Lingzi’s mother earnestly and then added somewhat threateningly, “Some things should be said, and some should not.

If you talk about what should not be discussed, forget about the remaining nine hundred thousand!”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do!” Lingzi’s mother quickly nodded.

Then, the media started interviewing everywhere, and Yan Bu’er and Minister Zhang entered the orphanage’s dining hall for a meal.

The dining hall was filled with lavish dishes, just the three tables of food and drinks, which included several bottles of fine Moutai Wine, already cost several thousand yuan.

Adding the stage setup, carpet, balloons, and various other miscellaneous items, the hospitality expenses had climbed to over twenty thousand yuan.

“Director, what are your thoughts on this donation?” a journalist immediately asked Lingzi’s mother.

“I am filled with gratitude,” Lingzi’s mother glanced at the journalist, then tucked the check into her pocket.

The journalist smiled and asked, “I just saw Mr.

Yan’s secretary give you a check, may I ask what the value of the check was?”

“One million!” Lingzi’s mother immediately replied.

Who really knows the truth behind everything?

Lingzi’s mother knew that once she spoke the truth, she wouldn’t be able to get even the remaining nine hundred thousand, let alone keep the hundred thousand she already had.

Perhaps in the end, she’d have to pay an additional twenty thousand yuan out of pocket.

Such is society, a society where people cannot speak the truth.

When we sit in front of the television, watching those citizens being interviewed by the media and listening to their praises and songs, who knows what they truly think?

Yes, this is a world where one cannot speak the truth; it is also a world full of deception.

After a lavish meal, the group left, leaving nothing behind.

Looking at the three tables filled with leftovers, Lingzi’s mom had someone clean up the remnants on the table and then called to the children, “Kids, come and eat!”

“Wow, we have fish and meat today!”

“That’s great, there are so many delicious dishes!”

The children crowded around eagerly.

Although the dishes were left over after the officials had eaten, they still appeared as delicious feasts to the children, many of whom had never seen dishes like lion’s head meatballs or roasted suckling pig before.

The children squeezed properly around the table, their eyes glowing green as they stared at the dishes, but none of them started eating first.

Instead, they waited for the matron’s arrival.

Lingzi’s mom smiled and said, “Everyone can eat as they like today, but no snatching; I’ll take away the chopsticks of anyone who snatches!”

Then, Lingzi’s mom distributed chopsticks, starting with the girls.

Once the children got their chopsticks, they immediately began to eat heartily, very cautious about picking up food so that Lingzi’s mom didn’t see them as hogging the food.

Since childhood, they had been taught to let the girls take food first, the boys would not snatch but would wait until the girls had finished picking.

The group of officials had eaten only the outermost, tenderest, and most delicious part of the roasted suckling pigs.

The meat inside wasn’t touched because it wasn’t as tasty, but to the children, it became the most delicious food ever.

Three roasted suckling pigs vanished in the blink of an eye.

The matrons stood by, smiles on their faces, delighted to see the children enjoying their meal so much.

“I’ll go exchange this check for cash and deposit it in our orphanage’s account now,” said Lingzi’s mom, afraid of delaying and encountering an issue with a bad check, which wasn’t a first-time occurrence.

“Okay!” the other staff members nodded.

Subsequently, Lingzi’s mom tucked the check and the orphanage’s bank card into her pocket and rode her bicycle out immediately.

…

On Saturday, Ye Chen and Liu Momo woke up very late, perhaps because they had stayed up too late the night before.

When Liu Momo got out of bed, it was already after ten in the morning, she exclaimed, then hurriedly got up.

She had slept too comfortably, the room’s heating made her oversleep.

At home, there was no heating, and since girls tend to be anemic, it made her feel even colder at night.

This was the most comfortable sleep Liu Momo had ever had since she could remember.

After getting up, Liu Momo rushed to the bathroom.

Pushing open the door, she coincidentally saw Ye Chen handling a “long spear” relieving himself.

Liu Momo exclaimed, “Ah!”

Then she quickly shut the door and ran off; however, that scene had stuck in her mind.

The heart of a young girl in love, especially when faced with the man she loved?

Liu Momo blushed and chastised internally, ‘Brother Chen, you should really close the door when you’re in the bathroom!’

Ye Chen turned his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw Liu Momo exclaim and run out, and smiled to himself, “This little Ni!”

By the time he left the bathroom, Liu Momo was already at the washing basin, brushing her teeth and washing her face.

Seeing Ye Chen, she dared not greet him; the scene from just a moment ago was still vivid in her memory, silencing her.

Ye Chen smiled, “Momo, good morning!”

“Mm, Brother Chen, good morning!” Liu Momo nodded and continued brushing her teeth, her face red.

She kept her eyes tightly closed while brushing, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and joined in brushing his teeth and washing his face, which made Liu Momo feel even shyer.

She hadn’t dared face Ye Chen, but now he was approaching her himself.

Finally, the awkward moment passed, and Ye Chen said, “Momo, let’s go out for breakfast.”

“Mm!” Liu Momo obediently nodded.

She quickly returned to her room, and when she reappeared before Ye Chen, Liu Momo was completely transformed, dressed in a Chanel skirt that Ye Chen had bought her in summer, a birthday gift from him.

She wore a nearly new coat on top, looking exceptionally beautiful, especially her smooth, long legs, which made Ye Chen’s eyes light up.
