Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 610: Chapter 253: I Can Cover All Expenses, But the Truth Must Come Out First

After finding out that Yang Chen is a major shareholder of Qiao Jiangnan, some guests started approaching him.

"Mr. Yang, we are involved in vegetable cultivation and can supply Qiao Jiangnan directly. Feel free to contact us if needed."

"We are in the seafood business. Although not direct suppliers, we can ensure quality and timely delivery below market prices."

"I raise pigs and can supply fresh pork to your restaurant. I guarantee the quality and offer competitive prices."

...

Yang Chen understood their intentions well. If their products were genuinely good, he would certainly consider collaborating with them.

"Thank you, everyone. I am not personally involved in the day-to-day management of Qiao Jiangnan. Your offers should be directed to the procurement department. If your products are truly good, reasonably priced, and reliably supplied, I am sure a collaboration can be arranged," Yang Chen said.

The crowd nodded and didn’t press further.

Yang Chen just wanted to help these children sincerely. He usually didn’t meddle in business matters, and he especially didn’t want to discuss business now.

As it nearly reached three o’clock, Qiu Yuhong finally sent a document to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen opened it and saw conversations involving the director of Funiu Orphanage, some business owners, and leaders of charity foundations. They clearly indicated profit transfers, money laundering, and other shady dealings.

Lotte Supermarket, owned by Zhang Letian, was prominently listed.

Funiu Orphanage regularly purchased expensive items from Lotte Supermarket, but what was delivered was a mixture of genuine and fake goods.

For instance, when the orphanage ordered Oreo cookies, Lotte Supermarket delivered a mix of "Yueliyue" and Oreo cookies.

The children couldn’t distinguish between Oreos and Yueliyue, but the price of Oreo was several times higher than Yueliyue, and the price difference was shared between Chen Funian and Lotte Supermarket in an 8-2 ratio.

For example, previously mentioned by Ji Kun, the orphanage had bought dozens of LV bags, which were actually branded counterfeits with genuine invoices. As things escalated, they orchestrated the orphanage collapse incident, intending to destroy these items and take the opportunity to solicit more donations from the government and society.

The Su Le Charity Foundation orchestrated this donation campaign for the orphanage and had the closest ties with Chen Funian.

The orphanage frequently laundered money for the Su Le Charity Foundation. Ten million would come in, two million would be spent, and the remaining eight million would be divided among various parties involved.

How utterly ruthless, exploiting these kids to make money. If people like Chen Funian remain unpunished, it’s a transgression against moral law!

Yang Chen ordered Qiu Yuhong to instruct the head of the Suzhou branch to report Chen Funian immediately and to make the evidence public as soon as possible.

As it neared three o’clock, Chen Funian stepped onto the stage to speak.

He was well-prepared, first showing the guests heartbreaking scenes of the orphanage collapse, especially the terrifying and tearful faces of children being rescued, which was truly shocking.

When the orphanage children saw the replay, they all burst into tears.

With the children crying, guests couldn’t help but cry as well.

People have hearts; who wouldn’t be moved by this scene?

Cheng Junjun cried profusely, her eyes fixed on Zhang Ruixin in the distance.

But Yang Chen remained expressionless because he knew these incidents were man-made, caused by Chen Funian and others.

Beside him, Zhang Letian wiped his eyes with feigned sentimentality, saying, "You really have a heart of stone. How can you remain unmoved in such a moment?"

Ning Shaolong joined in, "You’re too cold-blooded. Even pretending to care for Xiaoruxin, yet seeing her pulled from the rubble leaves you unfazed?"

Others also looked over. Even as a major shareholder of Qiao Jiangnan, not shedding tears at this moment was unacceptable.

"Aren’t you saddened even a little? This little girl keeps calling you Brother Chen, praying for you and this young lady to be together, yet you’re so heartless."

"Without emotion and humanity, what’s the use of having money?"

"Everyone else is here to help the children; you must be here for entertainment."

...

Yang Chen looked at the indignant philanthropists, still expressionless.

They didn’t know the truth, and such reactions were normal.

After experiencing so much, Yang Chen had become more composed towards people and events.

The truth was unknown to them, and there was no need to bicker. When the truth emerged, they would naturally realize their mistakes.

After the documentary was played, Chen Funian wiped his tears with feigned sentimentality, saying, "I apologize for disrupting the mood. The video was shown just to let everyone know what the children have gone through and how much they need your help. If there was any way, I wouldn’t seek social assistance."

The guests below couldn’t wait to donate money.

"Dean Chen, you don’t need to say more. We came today intending to help rebuild the children’s home."

"Exactly! Let’s get started right away. We hope the children can move into new homes soon."

"Everyone here today is a philanthropist, no doubt. Rebuilding the children’s home is certainly achievable."

...

If it were just for rebuilding the home, all efforts would be wasted.

Chen Funian and his group planned to amass thirty to fifty million yuan, to not only rebuild the orphanage but also to keep part of the funds for themselves.
