Listening to his father’s words, Chai Ren was shocked.
"Father ... how is this possible? I mean, in our country we are not pushovers," Chai Ren stammered. It was fine that Tang Qing was a bit more mature, or more steady, even that he did not curry favor with those in power, but astonishingly, the reason was that he was fearless in the face of the Chai Family.
How strong his assurance must be?
So strong it seemed limitless.
Chai Guoqiang chuckled lightly, reminding him, "Son, believe that nothing is impossible. Think about what happened in Africa, think about what happened last time in the United States, do you think they are pushovers?"
Upon hearing this,
Chai Ren thought carefully.
He swallowed hard.
"...not at all." Chai Ren had no choice but to accept this reality. The other party’s execution power, those inexplicable ’miraculous twists’, and their global reach all demonstrated their confidence and fearlessness. They dared to offend anyone, let alone the Chai family, who themselves had a global reputation.
"Exactly. I told you all this to let you be more cautious about this partner in the future. Regarding Tang Qing, he is an entry point. The more information we can gather the better, but remember, don’t offend or try to control them. We Chai family are not afraid of this insanely powerful force, but we cannot afford to compete against it."
"If it were other families, they would never take such extreme measures, hurting an enemy a thousand times and harming oneself ten thousand times, who would break the ’rules’ like this, only to face the fate of being jointly ousted? These people are real desperate fugitives, there’s no need to provoke them without reason," Chai Guoqiang said.
"I understand, Father," Chai Ren said, nodding in agreement.
"Hmm, try to establish a good relationship with Tang Qing for now. Also, I hear that ’Africa United Mining Group’ is progressing well. You can expand the scope of cooperation a bit, causing them to expose more. Let this fish slowly come to the surface. I am very curious about how big, how strong this fish is, and whether the waters are truly deep and unpredictable." Chai Guoqiang said with interest.
"Then what should I do?" Chai Ren asked curiously.
Chai Guoqiang drank a sip of tea, and said, "Many of our national companies in Africa have mineral deposits, both state-owned and private. They have a large amount of high-quality minerals at their disposal, but for various reasons, they can’t mine them. I’m wondering if this bait can reveal their true faces."
Chai Guoqiang’s plan was simple, the more they did, the greater the chance of making errors, therefore more people would emerge, increasing the information nodes. In this way, they could better mark the ’body territory’ of this fish.
"Father’s wisdom is unparalleled. I will start working on it immediately. Not only can we make money, but we can also see the true face of this fish. It’s like killing two birds with one stone," Chai Ren said excitedly. It was true what they said, a household with an elder has a treasure indeed.
"Hmm, rest when you’re free," Chai Guoqiang said.
"Alright, I will go back to my room now," Chai Ren replied and returned to his room.
After Chai Ren left,
Chai Guoqiang walked to the window and gazed at the peaceful night. He murmured, "If what I suspect is valid, is there a ’Black prison’ intervention on the side of Myanmar? Otherwise, how could Tang Kai benefit so much from it? Is there or not? Is there or not? It’s puzzling."
After thinking for a while, Chai Guoqiang dared not make a firm statement and went back to his room to rest.
That night,
Chai Ren stayed up very late.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Because he suddenly realized that he knew very little about Tang Qing and his ’friends’. It was not that he didn’t know, but the more he learned, the more he realized how much he didn’t know.
...
Meanwhile,
Tang Qing returned to his Heavenly Suite, to find Lin Jiaxue still awake, watching TV in the living room.
Seeing Tang Qing, Lin Jiaxue eagerly smiled, "Tangtang, you’re back, what did Chai Ren want with you?"
Tang Qing sat down beside Lin Jiaxue.
"Nothing much, just inquiring about my second uncle a bit. One of his friends wants to get into the jewelry business and wanted me to act as a go-between. But I didn’t take on the full responsibility, I only told him I would ask and get back to him in a few days," Tang Qing said with his arm around Lin Jiaxue’s waist.
Lin Jiaxue considered it a trifling matter, nodding, "Yes, it’s best not to commit on behalf of your second uncle. It could be problematic if it doesn’t work out, putting you in a difficult position."
"Yes, I understand."
After speaking, Tang Qing gave a peck on Lin Jiaxue’s forehead, then leaned back on the sofa and pulled her into his arms, her face turning a slight pink.
Just then,
Tang Qing noticed that the show Lin Jiaxue was watching on TV was about him as well.
The program was about the ’Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation’.
On the TV, a journalist was in a hospital ward. Behind her was a small boy in patient’s clothing, bald, hugging a toy and playfully interacting with a middle-aged man.
"As you can see, this child previously suffered from a brain tumor. He was dying in the orphanage because there were no funds for his treatment. But then, thanks to the Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation, all his treatment costs including recovery and nutrition, as well as the costs of future examinations, were paid for by the Foundation."
"This case is not an exception. As those of you who have been watching the news recently would know, there are more than 20,000 children nationwide who have been helped by the ’Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation’ like this. The total medical expenses paid by the organization amount to over four billion RMB. Under the transparency of the foundation’s assets, and with the supervision of the media and the public, I believe we no longer have any doubts about the use of the funds."
"There is love in this world. Benevolent people may have already noticed that although the Foundation’s account still has more than three billion RMB, the bulk of it is actually used for periodic hospital payments. The truly spare funds are less than eight hundred million RMB. Here, representing a journalist’s perspective, I hope that everyone will generously donate to help these parentless children. Thank you."
The news report came to an end.
The female journalist finished speaking, her eyes red, and bowed to the camera.
Hearing this, Tang Qing gave a thumbs up for the reporter’s words. Regardless of whether she’s reading a script or for the sake of the program’s effect, as long as it could ultimately help those children, Tang Qing would support it.
Now, the foundation’s surplus funds really weren’t much, needing donations from all walks of life. There was still some time until the next ’Pixiu Plan’. During this period, the foundation’s money would be sufficient. At that time, he hoped that the nearly 20 billion RMB ’protection fee’ would become Tang Qing’s last allocation aside from ’national cooperation’.
Now, the ’Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation’ had made a name for itself. By the end of this year, he would be spending billions of RMB in cold hard cash. If society is still waiting for others and the country to aid the weak, while he has the goodwill, he would also feel uneasy at heart.
What he wanted to see was the progress of social civilization, the purification of social atmosphere, and the return of social morality, not fostering an attitude of coldly watching on the sidelines, waiting for him and the country to pay.
Fortunately, public opinion is now applauding, many people have begun to donate in large amounts, the foundation is also planning for overseas donations, everything is moving in a good direction, which comforts Tang Qing.
"Tangtang, those children are so pitiful, let’s make a donation as well. I still have the twenty thousand RMB my Second Uncle gave me," Lin Jiaxue said, looking up.
Tang Qing smiled and said, "Good, but don’t worry about it. I’ll donate for you, keep the money for buying clothes."
Lin Jiaxue shook her head.
"No, I have plenty of clothes, too many that I can’t wear them all. Besides, I heard many children in the mountainous area are very poor, their clothes are all worn out. Can we also help them?" Lin Jiaxue said passionately.
Tang Qing thought for a moment, then said: "We can, but at present we don’t have the channels. Even if we donate money and goods, the children might not be able to receive them in the end. Let me first investigate clear, which ones are truly charitable, then we will donate, how about that?"
"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Lin Jiaxue giggled, and then laid her head back into Tang Qing’s chest.
Holding Lin Jiaxue, Tang Qing started thinking about what she had just said.
He would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned it, but now that she had, his old ailment started to act up - his sympathy was overflowing.
Honestly, he had only planned to set up the relative-finding website and charity foundation to solve the ’urgent’ problem. However, with Lin Jiaxue’s remarks, he was considering whether to ’nose into other people’s business’ again.
The issue with money is easy to handle.
The difficulty lies in the process of doing this. The previous charity foundation business was basically all new, there was no other charity foundation that would selflessly do so much for the children. However, now if there are donations of ’goods’ and ’education’, it could lead to conflicts.
So should they just give up?
Of course not.
It is merely a question of how deeply they get involved. Tang Qing doesn’t trust others to handle it. He doesn’t want his goodwill to turn into someone’s car or house. So, this has to be done by himself.
It can’t be hidden.
It needs to be done openly.
Nodded in agreement after thinking about it, Tang Qing decided to let Sheng Tang Group be the main sponsor and donate directly to the local area. The primary is to build ’Hope Primary School’, and secondary is to give supplies.
Damn.
He always feels he’s becoming more ’meddlesome’, and in fact, he was. He even started thinking about setting up a scholarship.
He shook his head.
He quickly brushed the thought aside.
"Jiaxue, I’m going to take a shower first."
"Hmm."
Having said that, Tang Qing happily took a cold shower. In the middle of the summer, it was refreshing even though he was no longer sensitive to the cold heat.
Quickly finished washing.
Out of the bathroom.
Only to see Lin Jiaxue still watching TV, her eyes evading freshly bathed Tang Qing. Seeing this, Tang Qing laughed and said: "Jiaxue, can we go to bed soon? We have to walk around tomorrow. Let’s get more sleep."
"Oh." Lin Jiaxue walked towards Tang Qing, slowly mirroring his steps.
Tang Qing grew anxious.
He quickly pulled Lin Jiaxue into the bedroom, closed the door, and turned on the air conditioning.
"Get on."
"You... No naughty business."
"Rest assured, there won’t be."
"..."
That night, Tang Qing didn’t do anything. He just held Lin Jiaxue. He could feel her frantic heartbeat and the rise and fall of her breath. That feeling was damn stimulating. Eventually, Lin Jiaxue fell asleep late into the night due to nervousness.
As for Tang Qing.
How could he possibly sleep?
Although he couldn’t practice Nerve Telekinesis skill, but compared to having a beauty in his arms, and being able to do some naughty business secretly when she fell asleep, he felt the long-lost thrill on that night.
