"No, why is Qin Luo silent now?"

"Yeah, so many big bosses have donated money, why is there no movement from him?"

"I saw him go to the disaster area, and his feelings must have been deeper than most people's. But he just left after one day? The authorities praised him, but he didn't do anything?"

"You can't say that. Even though they only went there once, everyone saw what they did. They really risked their lives to help. Everyone here should ask themselves, can you do that?"

"Why can't I do it? It's only because I wasn't there, otherwise I would have been the first one to rush up."

"That's right. I, who only earn 3,000 a month, donated 1,500 yuan. He's so rich, if not hundreds of billions, tens of millions shouldn't be a problem, right? How come he didn't donate a penny?"

"Maybe they donated but didn't make it public. Not everyone wants to publicize their donation like you do and let the whole world know, right?"

"It's so funny. It's human nature to seek a sense of existence. I won't talk about those people in my circle of friends who posted proof of their donations. Those big bosses, one by one, are there any who donated money but didn't issue a statement? Do you think they will miss such a good opportunity to promote a positive image? Or will Qin Luo let it go?"

"I admit that Qin Luo is indeed a young entrepreneur with good character, but he is still an entrepreneur no matter what. To put it bluntly, he is a person who plays with capital. How could such a person miss such a good opportunity to make a name for himself? Apart from other things, he has made a lot of money just by being named by the official. If Luoyu were a listed company, I dare not imagine how much its market value would increase now!"

"Take a break, everyone. At the age of 21, he has achieved what others cannot achieve in their entire lives. Do you think he is a fool for passing up this opportunity to earn fame?"

"Anyway, if he didn't donate, then he didn't donate. That's correct, right? If you want to refute it, just use his own or Luo Yu's donations to prove it. If you can't produce any, then don't bother talking!"

"..."

There is always a group of people in this world who may not praise you for anything good you have done, but once you have done something wrong, or even if it is not confirmed whether you have done anything wrong or not, they will jump up and down impatiently, accusing you of this and that, as if this can show how noble they are.

Since a large number of companies issued donation statements after donating, but Luo Yu did not take any action, many people began to question Qin Luo, so much so that there were a lot of voices applauding him yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, a lot of smears emerged.

There may be some people fanning the flames, but more of it is the backlash caused by the lack of proper follow-up to Qin Luo's previous actions.

Many people are guessing what Qin Luo is doing now, but only a certain group of people know this.

However, after learning what Qin Luo was going to do next, they were even more confused than those bewildered netizens online.

……

Imperial capital, Ye Group headquarters, chairman's office.

A middle-aged man sat upright in the boss chair.

He is over fifty, but he has maintained himself well and looks like he is in his forties. Only his slightly graying temples show some signs of aging.

He was dressed simply and wore a pair of flat-frame glasses. He had a kind and even somewhat elegant temperament. But if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that such an unprepossessing man was one of the two people standing at the top of the wealth pyramid in the country?

Chuxiong in the south, Yechen in the north.

He is the latter.

The person who was in the same room with him at this time was Ye Ziming, who had just returned to the imperial capital from the Demon City.

"Invitation card?"

Ye Chen took the invitation letter from his son, and after reading it carefully, his expression became a little strange.

"Charity auction party...Everyone is scolding him online, but he actually came up with this idea and made it impossible for people to refuse it. This kid named Qin is really more complicated than I thought."

Ye Ziming deeply agrees with this.

Today he received an invitation from Qin Luo to have a cup of coffee together, during which they also talked about those things on the Internet.

Ye Ziming expressed his concern for Qin Luo and suggested that he donate some money as soon as possible to break the negative comments against him and Luo Yu on the Internet.

But Qin Luo didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all, and then handed him an invitation to the charity auction party in his puzzled eyes.

So Ye Ziming finally understood Qin Luo's intention—he was actually going to hold a charity auction party at this critical juncture!
Naturally, all the proceeds from the party will be used for post-disaster reconstruction. Ye Ziming knew this without having to guess. He was just a little amused. He didn't expect that Qin Luo would come up with such a trick without making any noise.

If he just embezzled some of the money for himself, there would be nothing to say. This is all within everyone's expectations. Since he was previously singled out for official praise, the donation matter is nothing. Even if he really donated 18 million, people would at most praise him for being kind and capable after knowing it.

But if you hold a charity auction party, the nature of it is completely different.

This will not only encourage a large number of entrepreneurs to participate in this charity, but also everyone will remember Qin Luo's good deeds afterwards, but Qin Luo used other people's money!
The most tricky thing is that most of the people who receive this invitation letter probably won’t refuse it—not because they don’t want to, but because they can’t!

The reason is very simple, that is, Qin Luo stands on the side of justice!
Just imagine, at such a critical moment when the whole nation is working together to fight the disaster, Qin Luo, a representative figure who has been specifically praised by the authorities, took the lead in organizing a charity auction gala. The attention it received is absolutely unquestionable, and even the authorities may send reporters to follow the whole process.

During this process, people holding invitations to the party will definitely show up.

Showing up is not a big deal, but not showing up is a big problem, especially after the party is over, if someone received an invitation but did not attend, the trouble they might get into is so frustrating just thinking about it.

Is Qin Luo famous now?

This is of course true. Putting aside the fact that he has only been an entrepreneur for a few months, the title of star entrepreneur is not important. The only fact is that he was singled out for official praise and has become well-known internationally. Now there are few domestic entrepreneurs who don't know his name.

If this was just an ordinary period, if Qin Luo was just an ordinary young star entrepreneur, then these bigwigs would probably just smile after receiving the invitation, then look at the schedule, go over and sit down if they are interested, and throw away the invitation if they are not interested.

But he is a star entrepreneur who was officially praised and he hosted this charity auction party during the disaster relief period.

In this way, those who received the invitation but did not attend would most likely become the target of public criticism afterwards. Therefore, including Ye Chen, all those who received the invitation knew that Qin Luo was going to use their money to increase his reputation, but they had no way to refuse. Otherwise, once the news spread, netizens would be able to drown them with just a mouthful of spit.

Of course, they don't care whether those unruly people spit at them or not, but they are afraid that the money in their pockets will slip away under the influence of public opinion.

This is the first conspiracy of the new year.

"Dad, are you going?"

Even though he already had the answer in his mind, Ye Ziming still asked.

"What do you think?" Ye Chen glanced at him and smacked his lips, "It just so happens that I also want to see what charm this young man has that can make the girl from the Tang family so devoted to him and even dare to make such a bet with Tang Zeming..."

Hearing this, Ye Ziming hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Dad, Xiaoyu and I..."

"You don't need to say more."

Ye Chen interrupted, expressionless, "I know you don't have any romantic feelings for Xiao Yu, and I also know that you have a good personal relationship with the boy named Qin, but let's be fair."

"Your marriage with Xiaoyu is not as simple as just the two of you getting married and living together. You should be aware of this. If that guy really helped Tang Yu change Tang Zeming's mind, then I won't say much, but if it's just the current level..."

Having said this, what Ye Chen wanted to express was already very clear.

Ye Ziming was not surprised by this. After all, his engagement with Tang Yu was decided by his father and Tang Yu's father a long time ago.

The two elders are very experienced and they even think eight steps ahead when playing chess.

To put it bluntly, a marriage is a marriage of interests, and everyone knows this. Compared with the benefits that can be generated from the combination of the two families, the thoughts of the parties involved are the least important.

So... does it still depend on Qin Luo in the end?

Ye Ziming said nothing more, lowered his head and left the office, then called Qin Luo.

"Hey?"

"As you said, the invitation has been given to my dad and he will go."

"It's such an honor to have one of the two richest men in the country come here in person."

"You said that as if anyone would dare not go after receiving your invitation."

"Well... don't say anything..."

"Is there really such an idiot?"

"not yet."

"……boring."

Ye Ziming sighed, and then said seriously: "Qin Luo, we have known each other for a long time, and I have already regarded you as a friend. You are also very clear about the situation between Xiaoyu and me. In addition, I just sounded out my father's opinion, and he and Uncle Tang have the same idea. With my current voice, I can't make the decision, so...come on."

Qin Luo seemed to have not expected that he would suddenly say such a heartfelt word. Hearing this, he smiled with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, but this matter will soon have a result. That's it. See you at the party."

Qin Luo's words whetted Ye Ziming's appetite. He wanted to ask more questions, but Qin Luo had already hung up the phone.

At the same time, there were many other people who received invitation letters. Except for special cases like Ye Chen, most of the people Qin Luo chose were local entrepreneurs in Shanghai.

Their thoughts were exactly the same as Ye Chen's. They all felt that Qin Luo was standing on the side of justice and morally blackmailing them, wanting to use their money to build his own reputation.

It’s like you are a judge on a food show, and a contestant serves you a plate of original-flavored large intestine. If you eat it, you’ve fallen into his trap, but if you don’t eat it, you’ll lose your position.

Although there are many people who find this kind of conspiracy funny and think it’s a good idea to participate, there are also some who really find it disgusting and annoying.

Just like Chu Yang, he is in great pain right now.

"Using such crooked means, huh..."

Chu Family Manor, Chu Xiong’s study.

Chu Yang threw the invitation letter aside, turned his head and looked at Chu Xiong, and said with a fake smile: "Dad, your son-in-law is quite smart. Those old stubborn people in the company are now openly supporting him to marry into the Chu family and take over the group. If he really continues like this, what do you think I should do?"

Sitting on the thick chair, Chu Xiong closed his eyes and dozed off, as if he had heard nothing, his slightly wrinkled face showing no emotion.

Chu Yang looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and finally snorted coldly.

"You too, he too, anyway, the happy days won't last long, I don't want to bother with you."

He left these words, picked up the invitation and left.

When the study returned to silence, Chu Xiong opened his cloudy eyes and slowly took out a photo from his arms.

There, the man had a rough face, but his smile was as warm and bright as the sun.

Two little girls, about two or three years old, sat on his left and right shoulders, like the purest and most innocent little angels. (End of this chapter)
