Chapter 354: Chapter 354

This is human nature!

In the face of enough financial gain, taking risks becomes as simple as eating and drinking. After all, what’s the big deal even if something happens? At worst, one will be thoroughly exposed, that’s all. There’s no life-threatening danger, so what’s there to fear? In the worst-case scenario, one can just flee abroad to live it up—it’s not like you’ll die. There’s nothing to be too worried about.

But Rose’s approach was very simple and resolute, "My donations are meant for real work, not for you to go on tours using public funds for leisure! Whoever dares to abuse them will be immediately cut down. You might have the life to embezzle, but you won’t have the life to spend it." This method was enough to deter that group of people and ensure the donations were used properly.

Perhaps this method might seem extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, but one has to admit that it’s very effective. Wealth moves people’s hearts; in times of chaos, harsh punishment is needed. Only strong, iron-fisted measures can deter the malicious.

The hall was eerily quiet as one after another, the slideshows played. The attendees began to whisper among themselves, and soon, a middle-aged man in a crisp suit stood up directly, pulled a cheque from his pocket, swiftly signed it, and without hesitation deposited it into the donation box.

With Lu Tianxing’s keen observation, he could easily make out how much money the middle-aged man had written on the cheque.

With the first to lead the way, naturally, a second followed. As someone took the lead to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!

This scene left Lu Tianxing dumbfounded. Damn it, no wonder so many people love doing charity work—the speed at which money was coming in was too fast. Only a few minutes had passed, and already more than a dozen people had gone up to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! From what he observed, even the least amount Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!

Lu Tianxing felt a surge of envy at these scenes. Back in the day, he risked his life every day for money, and yet, in just a few minutes, so much had been collected—more than a hundred million. It was faster than a robbery. Little wonder the mistresses kept by the high-level officials at Bai’s Group could afford top-of-the-line luxury cars; the speed of coming into money was almost insatiable.

Lu Tianxing felt he might as well try his hand at being a bandit for a change, and kidnap everyone here, demanding a million each for their lives. Those who didn’t pay up would lose a hand. Probably in one night, he could become filthy rich.

What shocked Lu Tianxing even more was Rose, who nonchalantly Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! This inflamed Lu Tianxing with envy again, making him contemplate going to see Rose afterward and giving her a good ’lesson’ so she would hand over some spending money—not too much, just a paltry million a month would be enough. He was quite content with that.

Bai Zhiqing also took the stage and Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! This wasn’t Bai’s Group’s recorded funds but Bai Zhiqing’s personal savings. A billion was a paltry amount for Bai’s Group, but for Bai Zhiqing, it was no small sum. After all, Bai’s Group, although belonging to Bai Zhiqing, needed to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!

"Wife, you’re really wealthy, donating a billion just like that. I’m impressed. Tell me, if I robbed all this money, wouldn’t I become a billionaire instantly?" said Lu Tianxing enthusiastically, his eyes full of fervor, seemingly quite tempted.

"Lu Tianxing, I’m warning you, don’t mess around. This money may be stored in the Rose Foundation, but the government will also be closely watching," Bai Zhiqing warned after being taken aback by Lu Tianxing’s words. Was this fool seeking death? He dared to say anything.

"The government is involved as well?"

"Of course they are. Otherwise, do you think these people would feel secure enough to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! The amount of money Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! Even if it’s as little as one cent, it will be clearly recorded on the website, and anyone can check at any time to ensure that every penny is used for crucial purposes."

Bai Zhiqing seldom admired anyone, but she couldn’t help admiring Rose. A woman had accomplished what countless men couldn’t, and such passion commanded respect.

"Damn, no wonder these guys are scrambling like dogs smelling shit, each one rushing to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!"

Lu Tianxing was speechless. He had actually thought these people were sincerely interested in donating, but it turned out they just wanted to show off in front of the nation—no wonder every time donations were made, the staff would mention the donor’s name and company name.

However, whether these people were genuinely donating or just doing it for the fame, at least they had done something, helped someone in need, and that was enough.

"Wife, what about you? You Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!

"Do you think Bai’s Group needs to rely on this kind of method to improve our corporate reputation?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Tianxing shook his head. Relying on Bai’s Group’s prestige in Modu, they certainly didn’t need these things. "Wife, how is this donation going to be used? Is it all going to help impoverished mountain areas?"

Bai Zhiqing’s gaze turned towards the Rose on stage, her eyes twinkling with admiration: "On the Rose Charity Foundation’s website, there is a dedicated channel for applying for help. In addition to aiding remote and impoverished mountain areas, anyone who is in trouble and needs assistance can apply on the website. If the application is approved, the Rose Charity Foundation will contact the bank to provide the funds needed to help the applicant."

"Are they not afraid that someone will fake being poor to scam donations?" Lu Tianxing asked, puzzled.

Bai Zhiqing chuckled and said, "Do you think anyone could manage that? Do you know how much traffic this website gets? At least several million netizens pass through every day, all keeping an eye on these donations. Even if only one-tenth of those visitors stayed, they would be enough to dig up all of your information. How many people do you think can actually get away with the money?"

Lu Tianxing remarked with a sense of realization, figuring that if someone could actually scam money in this way, that person must be extraordinarily cunning.

What’s the most powerful thing? It’s bored netizens—they’re the most powerful force. Whenever they want, they can dig up your entire family history; if you can manage to stand out among these millions of netizens all digging for the truth and get the money, then you must be quite desperate.

"So, just relax, it’s not so easy to scam money from here. Not only are ordinary people watching, but even the nation is keeping an eye on it. If anything goes wrong, nobody can escape the consequences."

Bai Zhiqing delivered the final verdict, assuring that the donations were safe, without the need to worry about misappropriation or being scammed.

Lu Tianxing nodded solemnly and stood up from the chair, heading straight towards the front desk.
