Free Web NovelChapter 602: Chapter 251: So Many Show-Offs, One After Another
Just as Yang Chen was blocked midway, Deputy Chairman Ji Kun had already arrived at the orphanage for an inspection.
Ji Kun conducted a thorough examination in strict accordance with the foundation’s processes and standards, and then he had to prepare an inspection report for Yang Chen to review.
Whether to donate, and how much, he would provide rational suggestions, and the final decision would be made by Yang Chen.
An hour later, Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun arrived at the orphanage.
But since there were many social figures attending the donation event today, they simply couldn’t get close.
Helplessly, they had to find a parking spot at a nearby mall and bought many supplies for the children, such as stationery, toys, clothes, snacks, and so on.
Because they bought too much, the mall sent a special vehicle to deliver them together with the goods to the orphanage.
Upon arriving at the orphanage, they found the yard already piled with items donated by social figures.
"There you go, more people donating stuff again. Sigh..."
"What they lack is funding to rebuild the orphanage. What’s the use of buying these unnecessary things?"
"Just joining in the fun, so they can tell people they also came to the orphanage to donate."
"Sigh... In the end, it’s we entrepreneurs who have to donate money. The stuff these common folks donate is basically ineffective."
"Who isn’t saying the same? The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Besides, helping these poor kids is also a charitable act, we certainly need to be more proactive."
...
Sigh...
Pretension is everywhere.
When others donate items, they leave the donor or organization name, but Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun refused to leave their names.
They came sincerely to help the children, not to show off.
The orphanage arranged interactive activities, allowing all social figures participating in the donation to engage with the children.
Hoping the children could move some social figures, maybe they would be adopted, or at least let these social figures feel their donation was meaningful.
Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun found Zhang Ruixin.
She was currently being stopped for a chat by a couple.
But seeing her expression showed unhappiness, perhaps she hadn’t yet emerged from the sadness of her grandfather’s passing.
Seeing Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun approaching, Zhang Ruixin’s eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled a little.
The couple turned back to look at Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun, got up, and exchanged greetings with them.
It turned out they wanted to know more about Zhang Ruixin to see if they could adopt her.
But Zhang Ruixin, having just lost her grandfather, surely wouldn’t want to leave with someone else.
So, her mood wasn’t great.
The couple left disappointedly.
Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun took out a gift specially prepared for Zhang Ruixin and gave it to her.
Children are just children, seeing the cute plush toy, she immediately accepted it happily.
Yang Chen and Cheng Junjun are both unmarried, definitely couldn’t adopt her, only hoping a better family could adopt her.
Of course, if she truly doesn’t want to be adopted, she can stay at the orphanage until she grows up.
The orphanage will bear the cost of her education and upbringing, this is one of the reasons why the orphanage seeks donations, raising so many kids really costs a lot.
Even if they can’t provide kids with a perfect childhood like a normal family, at least the costs for living and education must come out, the orphanage staff also need to earn wages to live, relying on the principal alone to bear such large expenses wouldn’t work well for any family.
At this moment, Deputy Chairman Ji Kun called Yang Chen.
Yang Chen hurriedly walked out of the orphanage and found a quiet place to answer the call.
Ji Kun: "Mr. Yang, we just checked the orphanage’s accounts and found some unclear places. For example, the income is 10 million, and the total expenses add up to at most 5 million, but they’ve still managed to make a balanced account. I suspect they have engaged in money laundering behaviors. We better not get involved with such an orphanage."
Yang Chen: "Is there really such a thing? Are you sure you didn’t read it wrong? If the accounts are publicly exposed, do you think they can be convicted?"
Ji Kun: "The books they showed us are definitely tampered with, we can see problems from both the accounting and normal logical perspectives. People who don’t understand accounting principles may not see the issues. Legally, it is completely legitimate, with no problems at all. In normal logical terms, um... let me give you an example. They included dozens of LV bags among the purchases for the kids. I asked why they’re buying LV bags for these children, they explained it’s to help children understand different brands of bags, assisting them in scientifically and inclusively viewing luxury items, cultivating their correct values in life. Do you think this reason is absurd? Then, I wanted to see those LV bags, they actually said they were buried when the house collapsed and were cleared away together. Mr. Yang, it’s not that I’m being cynical, nor am I thinking about people negatively. I even suspect the house collapse might have been deliberate, aiming to balance some accounts that can’t be balanced. This tactic is too common; some units experience big budget deficits and then unexpected accidents happen, like a fire burning everything, getting robbed, etc., and the accounts get balanced. Do you understand my meaning?"
Oh damn, I didn’t expect to discover such a big issue when coming to make a donation.
Yang Chen: "Ah Kun, you all should leave for now. I’ll give you Qiu Yuhong’s phone number, call him, and tell him to investigate the truth."
Ji Kun: "Qiu Yuhong? Is it Shield Security Group’s Chairman Qiu Yuhong?"
