Chapter 130: Chapter 130
Feng Wanshan suffered a silent loss during the charity auction stage. On the surface, it looked like he won against Lin Fan, but in fact, he spent unnecessary money.
Although that little money was nothing to Feng Wanshan, he was still puzzled by being played by Lin Fan, thinking that he would make Lin Fan suffer no matter what.
So when it came to the free donation segment, Feng Wanshan took the lead, claiming that he would ten million!
Everyone present, although wealthy, mostly planned to tens of thousands or a couple of hundred thousand at most. A donation of a million was already considered generous, let alone ten million.
Feng Wanshan’s lavish ten-million donation shocked everyone.
How generous! No wonder he’s a business giant in Yun City!
"Boss Feng, you’re amazing!"
"That’s what you call filthy rich!"
"We are really nothing compared to him!"
The organizers were beaming with smiles. As the person in charge of this charity donation, Mr. He couldn’t help but almost laugh out loud.
"Boss Feng is truly generous and charitable. On behalf of the impoverished people in the mountain villages, I thank Boss Feng," Mr. He said solemnly, bowing.
In his heart, he was overjoyed. He really liked wealthy moguls like Feng Wanshan who spend lavishly; he could finally buy a diamond necklace for his lover.
Feng Wanshan was very pleased with everyone’s reaction. He wanted this effect, and he thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone’s shocked faces.
Then, Feng Wanshan turned his gaze towards Lin Fan and said, "I wonder how much this young man is planning to ?"
He had already d 10 million, and if Lin Fan d less, he would naturally be seen as lesser.
If Lin Fan wanted to grab the spotlight and d more, then Lin Fan would need to fork out more than 10 million, which would also be Feng Wanshan’s revenge for the charity auction phase.
No matter what, Lin Fan couldn’t escape his calculation this time.
Feng Wanshan thought of this and felt a pang of pride.
He had suffered a lot under Lin Fan before, but this time he finally turned things around, right?
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Fan in unison. Feng Wanshan was clearly challenging Lin Fan. How would Lin Fan respond?
Mr. He was particularly curious. He had heard that this young man was the Big Boss of Tianxue Entertainment and a shareholder in several big companies!
His suit alone was worth millions!
He must be very wealthy.
Rich people care a lot about face. Being provoked by Feng Wanshan , he might not less than Feng Wanshan!
The more fiercely these rich people compete, the better. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
Mr. He was almost laughing out loud.
Looking at Feng Wanshan’s mocking gaze, Lin Fan knew very well that no matter how much he d, Feng Wanshan would feel he was invincible.
Lin Fan calmly said, "I’m not donating."
Everyone was stunned.
This was indeed an answer that nobody had expected.
They thought Lin Fan might a bit less than Feng Wanshan, but as long as it was more than the others present, it would be acceptable!
Or maybe he would outshine Feng Wanshan by donating even more.
But unexpectedly, Lin Fan chose not to at all!
Even Du Tao couldn’t understand Lin Fan, with cold sweat appearing on his forehead. In front of so many people, the Big Boss didn’t a penny. This was a bit embarrassing, and people would definitely laugh at him.
"Come on, this is way too stingy, not donating a single penny!"
"Wow, isn’t he afraid of losing face?"
"It’s fine if no one knows, but in front of everyone, at least something."
Some shook their heads, some snickered, and some looked at Lin Fan with disdain.
Rich people care a lot about face!
While many rich people have done shameless things, they’ve done them secretly. On the surface, they’re all reputable figures. No one dares to be openly shameless.
For Lin Fan to openly say he wouldn’t , it’s quite disgraceful, and no one would do this.
So Lin Fan’s action seemed incomprehensible to everyone.
Mr. He, who was initially laughing, now had a stiff smile.
This young tycoon sure plays by his own rules!
If everyone behaved like him and didn’t , how could Mr. He buy a necklace for his lover?
After a brief pause, Feng Wanshan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Lin Fan actually didn’t money, choosing the most embarrassing option, which Feng Wanshan hadn’t expected.
"Come on, young man, you can’t be so heartless, can you? You won’t even a little to the mountainous areas?"
Feng Wanshan mocked openly.
A round of snickers erupted from the surrounding crowd; indeed, Lin Fan was humiliated.
Anna found it a little amusing, as her godfather had always suffered in front of Lin Fan, and this time he finally redeemed himself.
However, she also found it puzzling why Lin Fan chose such an embarrassing way?
Not donating a single penny?
With Lin Fan’s financial ability to buy estates and islands, even donating one billion shouldn’t be a problem.
Lin Fan wasn’t a fool; on the contrary, he was sharper than anyone. Why would he choose to embarrass himself publicly?
Anna was a bit perplexed by Lin Fan.
Li Jianhua was also confused, recalling a previous conversation where Lin Fan clearly said he wouldn’t and advised against donating.
If done quietly, not donating wouldn’t matter because nobody would know. However, now that it was public, Lin Fan still chose not to , which was puzzling.
Regarding donations, whether it’s out of altruism is unimportant; it’s just about earning face.
Does Lin Fan not even understand this basic social courtesy?
Du Tao had already approached Lin Fan, whispering, "Big Boss, shouldn’t we just a bit under your name? I’ll provide the money?"
As President of Tianxue, he really didn’t want the Big Boss of Tianxue to become a laughingstock.
Lin Fan just gave a slight smile, signaling him not to speak further.
Du Tao had to give up, wiping his cold sweat, and pondered in confusion, not knowing what the Big Boss was planning.
Lin Fan then looked at Mr. He and said, "Mr. He, is it okay if I don’t ?"
Everyone was shocked. It was one thing for Lin Fan not to , but to ask Mr. He like that, it seemed a bit shameless.
Though naturally displeased, Mr. He maintained a friendly and gentle expression, "No problem, Mr. Lin. Offering charity is a matter of personal willingness, and whether to more or less depends on one’s kindness. Our organization won’t force anyone."
Inwardly, Mr. He sneered, as Lin Fan now carried the label of "uncharitable."
As expected, with Mr. He’s words, everyone held Lin Fan in even lower regard.
Seizing the moment, Feng Wanshan laughed, "Young man, you’re not donating money, so are you just here for free food and drinks?"
The room burst into laughter.
Lin Fan ignored Feng Wanshan, smiling, "Mr. He, I’m here today mainly to use your platform to announce something. Do you mind?"
Mr. He was curious and couldn’t help but ask, "What is it?"
Lin Fan looked around the audience and said, "The reason I’m not donating is because I’m planning to establish a foundation dedicated to helping the needy, with an initial fund of 1 billion Huaxia Coin!"
At these words, the room fell silent in astonishment.
