The leisurely life of rebirth

Zhou You smiled and greeted the front desk:
"How's your acting now?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you." The lady at the front desk looked proud.

"Oh, good. You're doing better and better at your work at the front desk. Keep it up." Zhou You teased.

One time I came and didn’t see the front desk. When I asked, I found out that they were there filming a movie.

Really, even the front desk can film, which shows how low the threshold is to enter the entertainment industry.

Everyone has his own way. The front desk clerk also found his own unique way and gradually became an actor.

Yes, the contract has been changed. The front desk job is now considered a side job, not the main job. I just happened to be there recently, so I got the chance to make my presence felt again.

Apart from anything else, the front desk clerk is now considered a good job.

At least there is a chance to get in touch with Zhou You.

Sometimes when Zhou You came up from the underground garage, he would stop on the first floor to see if the receptionist was there.

This is one of the few joys in the company.

Amid the complaints of the receptionist rolling her eyes, Zhou You walked away, feeling happy both physically and mentally.

"Hello, President Han." Zhou You felt inexplicably close to Han Hong when he saw her. She was not tall, but quite heavy.

Even if you haven't seen her in person, you will always feel that she is very tall, or rather, not short.

One is the TV effect, and the other is that it does have some aura.

Han Hong was also stunned when she heard Zhou You's words. Most people called her Teacher Han Hong, which was a common practice in the entertainment industry. Although she was not used to it, she had gotten used to it.

"Boss Zhou, you know I do charity work."

President is a title only used in charitable foundations.

"Of course, this is also the purpose of my coming here today." Zhou You went straight to the point.

Han Hong was a little surprised. It was indeed the first time that she met such a big boss who took the initiative to approach her and said that he wanted to do charity.

"Welcome, very welcome."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Yang Mi added: "Brother You actually did a lot, but not the traditional kind."

"For example, we set up the Tiesheng Reading Support Fund and used the big data of TikTok to promote relevant books to help patients with depression."

“In addition, there are music funds and documentary funds.”

"At the same time, a scholarship fund was established at the school where he worked."

A lot of things were said in scattered bits and pieces.

Han Hong then realized that what she said just now was a bit too polite:
"Mr. Zhou has done a lot. I have heard of the music fund, but I haven't paid much attention to other things. I have a question: Mr. Zhou is so capable, why doesn't he set up a fund of his own?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Mi started laughing.

"You haven't met Brother You much. He hates trouble the most. Even though he has done so much, he basically only provides money and resources, and he rarely shows up himself."

Han Hong listened carefully and smiled after listening: "I see, this is what it means to do good deeds without leaving a name!"

"Yes, that's a great summary." Yang Mi was also amused.

Isn’t it? No outsider would know.

This is the purpose of traveling. It doesn’t matter whether outsiders know it or not, as long as some people know it.

"It was the same when I contacted President Han. I have some abilities and have done a few things that interest me, but I still feel that I am too insignificant."

"There are so many difficulties in this world. It doesn't matter if you don't see them. Sometimes, it's painful to see them."

"But I am not a saint. I cannot go to the disaster area in person like President Han did. I can only do my best to help."

Han Hong felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, please don't say that."

"As for me, I don't have any special talents, but I am a good singer and I have made a lot of money, which is enough for my family to spend. I will help out with the rest if I can, just to give myself peace of mind."

Zhou You nodded: "Yes, just for peace of mind."

"I don't trust other funds. I don't want to be a sucker and waste my money, so I checked around and found that President Han's is more formal, so I want to cooperate with you."

Han Hong smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhou. How will we cooperate?"

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. I personally am afraid of trouble, and I don't want to be known to the public."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Zhou You is really low-key. Except for people in the circle, who knows him? Even those in the circle, if they are not big shots, don’t know him!

"Dream Chasing Company can serve as a resident director, which is also one of my sincerity to President Han." Zhou You said after thinking for a while.

It is not easy for other large companies to intervene directly as there are many impacts.

Sometimes an individual cannot override the collective. Even if the collective has some flaws, its energy is definitely greater than that of the individual.

Han Hong stood up, held Zhou You's hands with both of hers, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou You's statement opened up the conversation.

"It's difficult to do charity, especially when you are an individual. I didn't know how to do it at the beginning, so I gave the money to other organizations. But as I was doing it, I realized it was not right."

"They put the materials I donated in the warehouse and didn't deliver them to the disaster area. So my donation was in vain."

"Also, when helping, we must look at the actual needs. Sometimes, just giving money is useless."

"Food, tents, and cold-weather clothing are often more useful than money."

Zhou You's expression also became serious: "President Han, it's not easy to come this far. Only those who have been there in person will understand these things."

Han Hong's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke: "I still remember the first time I went to the disaster area, the tragic scene, and the children."

"After I got out, I received three months of psychological counseling, and I gradually recovered."

Yang Mi handed her a piece of paper.

"This is really the first time I've seen you cry. Outsiders think you're very domineering."

Han Hong smiled bitterly: "What's so domineering about it? It's just that my voice is louder, my body is bigger, and my temper is worse."

"You have a good temper." Zhou You said with a smile.

This is true. There is a reason for getting angry, and you shouldn't do anything behind someone's back. This is something many people cannot do.

Another thing is to be serious.

But sometimes charity requires such people.

How can you do charity well if you don’t take it seriously? How will others believe you? Money doesn’t come from the wind.

"What's good about it? I always argue with people, get disliked and annoyed by others." Han Hong said helplessly. He has had this temper all his life and he can't change it.

I don’t want to change, because if I do I won’t be myself anymore.

Anyway, my desires are not high, as long as I have enough food and drink, I don’t have any children, so who can I leave my wealth to? It’s better to live a carefree life and just seek peace of mind.

"Haha, don't be afraid in the future. We can win an argument, but we won't lose in the public opinion battle easily." Zhou You said domineeringly.

I was alone before, how could I fight against so many people?

Things were different after Zhou You joined: "Many of my legal teams, as well as ByteDance, BI Station, NetEase, and Penguin, we are lucky enough not to bully others."

Han Hong was truly surprised, as if she had just realized Zhou You's strength for the first time.

Well, it was indeed the first time I heard about it. Yang Mi was also a little surprised.

"Brother You, what are you investing in again?"

I haven’t seen you for a while, how come you’re involved with so many companies again?

"Well, I invested in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and exchanged some shares with them. I have a little bit of shares in music and games." Zhou You explained briefly.

杨蜜
"Brother You, if one day you don't want to play in the entertainment industry anymore, please let me know in advance so I can be prepared." Yang Mi pouted and said with a resentful look on her face.

Really, investing everywhere and spending money everywhere.

This entertainment company seems to make a lot of money, but in reality it is not enough.

Zhou You couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be afraid, I didn't make much, just a few hundred billion, and a lot of it is shares. The entertainment industry is so fun, I can't bear to give it up."

Han Hong sat there, not knowing how to respond.

This is just a project.

There are so many more projects.

Are all the big guys so low-key nowadays?

After swallowing, he couldn't help but said, "Boss Zhou, how about changing the name of my foundation?"

"Don't worry, don't change it. If you need to change it, I can just make one. I'm not seeking fame." Zhou You said quickly.

Han Hong then realized that she was really stupid. If others really wanted to do it themselves, why would they come to her for help? It paid so much money.

"At the beginning, I will donate 10 million yuan personally, and there is no need to make it public. Later, I will donate in the name of the company."

"1% of the annual profit." After saying that, he glanced at Yang Mi.

"It will be deducted from my profit points, and others won't need it for the time being." Zhou You said.

I will not force others to donate. This is purely voluntary. I just use the name of a company.

After hearing this, Yang Mi felt a little disappointed. She was a little worried, but she didn't know that the other party didn't like her at all.

She pouted and said, "Brother You, count me in. It's just like doing my part. It will benefit the company and my reputation is valuable."

Zhou You pressed her mouth back: "I'm not forcing you, and don't feel embarrassed. I have a lot of money."

Han Hong couldn't help but turn her face away.

Damn it, I'm still here.

"I won't tell President Han how much I earn each year."

Han Hong shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm so happy that President Zhou can support me. I'm satisfied with just the public opinion."

"Really, I'm really scared of them. I'm planning to make everything public recently. Anyway, I have no selfish motives. I used to do it to avoid waste and save costs."

Zhou You didn't care about Yang Mi's opinion: "Don't save on management fees, everyone has to eat."

"Workers in any place enjoy above-average wages. We have money and nothing else to do. Ordinary people can't generate electricity by love. That won't last long."

"It's good enough to have love in this world, and we can't use morality to blackmail people."

Han Hong also found a soulmate: "Yes, the longer I work, the deeper my understanding becomes. If I want to continue working for a long time, I have to be transparent."

"I will put every donation detail on the website and publish every expenditure as well."

"We will also hire people to audit and verify, and make everything transparent, leaving no room for me or other employees to make mistakes."

This is often the case. Who the money is given to, how much is given, and to which areas it is given are all different, and there is no fixed standard.

However, as long as there are details, records and evidence, I believe most people will be satisfied.

Even God cannot satisfy everyone about one thing.

Because Satan is not satisfied!

"Hire more third-party auditors. Don't save the money. As long as the credibility is sufficient, there will be no shortage of money." Zhou You knew how chaotic it would be.

I also know how difficult it is to put it under the spotlight and everyone is entitled to see it.

It’s enough to have an entertainment company as a skin.

Han Hong was a little confused. Zhou You's visit today was a bit strange, but his suggestions were very good and he also promised to donate 1000 million yuan.

This is the biggest gain.

"Well, I will improve this convenience. I just don't know if Mr. Zhou has any requirements on the use of the donated funds?"

Speaking of this, Zhou You became a little unprofessional.

"Do you mean?"

Han Hong explained: "The money you donated can be used by our fund at will, or you have a specific purpose, such as helping children, helping the elderly, using it as medical assistance, or poverty alleviation assistance. There are many types."

This is what happens to many people when they donate money.

Some people donate in a rush, some donate because the amount is small, some donate for tax reduction, and some donate for peace of mind.

There are all kinds of people anyway.

Zhou You finally reacted: "President Han is indeed a professional and knows a lot."

"Well, we were exploring as we went along. Some people didn't understand at first, and we didn't understand either. Then someone suggested it, and we thought we could give it a try, so we added a lot of categories." Han Hong grinned.

You can even see the gap between the teeth in the middle of the mouth, with a hint of pride and relief.

"How do you usually contact the people you rescue?" Zhou You asked curiously.

After all, many people don’t know, or the Han Hong Fund’s influence is not big enough.

Han Hong picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, and said softly: "In the beginning, we basically responded to the government's call. Later, as we gradually became a little famous, some people contacted us and we would verify it. For example, for major disease assistance, many people contacted us on their own initiative."

"Anyway, many things are not as simple as imagined. At first I thought it was simple, just giving money and things would be enough, but later I found out that it was far from being the case. It was really too difficult."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.

Zhou You also felt the same way.

Many of the government's rescue actions are still subject to loopholes and cannot be stopped by several rounds of inspections.

Not to mention personal matters, there are many things that really cannot be thought about carefully.

If you don't save people, people will scold you. If you save people, they will also scold you.

Anyway, I can only ask for a clear conscience, nothing else can be done.

Being a good person is not that easy.

In a word, it is so difficult to get practical things done!

Yang Mi also gained a lot today. In the past, there had been some charity performances. She thought that after the performance, she would just raise the money.

Explanations have been made internally and externally, but who knew there were so many things going on behind the scenes.

However, most of them are government actions, which are better. From top to bottom, there is a complete set of operating mechanisms, with clear structure and sufficient personnel.

It is indeed not easy for someone like Han Hong, who started out fighting alone and has progressed step by step to where he is today.

There are too many links involved, and if you are not careful, you may end up doing good things but not getting a good reputation.

Over the years, Han Hong has always been able to stick to his original intention despite all the ups and downs. It is indeed not easy. He is a ruthless person. (End of this chapter)
