Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Originally, everyone was mocking Lin Fan.

But with just a few words, Lin Fan left everyone in shock.

Lin Fan actually announced in public that he was going to establish a foundation!

The initial funding would be as high as 1 billion Huaxia Coin.

"This foundation will be named after my group, called the Mortal Fund, and the 1 billion initial fund will be entirely paid by me!" Lin Fan added.

Everyone fell silent.

Lin Fan personally funding 1 billion as the initial capital for the foundation!

This was so damn extravagant!

Looking across Huaxia, people who can suddenly pull out 1 billion for charity aren’t nonexistent, but they generally do it in the name of their company, and usually, it’s groups with assets over 100 billion that can afford to do this.

A personal throw of 1 billion into charity is exceptionally rare!

The people who had earlier mocked Lin Fan for not donating money were now blushing; they had no grounds to laugh at him.

billion, what does that even mean!

In front of 1 billion, the mere 10 million d by Feng Wanshan doesn’t even count!

Feng Wanshan’s smile froze, his expression was priceless.

He never imagined in a million years that things would turn out , Lin Fan’s move was more than just a slap in the face; it was like a steel palm swinging across!

Lin Fan continued, "Once the foundation is officially established, it will also open up for public donations, and at that time, I welcome all of you to enthusiastically . The original intention of the Mortal Fund is to ensure that every donation can truly help those in need, and Mortal Fund will publicly disclose the destination of every donation, even a pack of instant noodles will be made public, there will absolutely be no situation where the destination of donations is unclear, and no one will be able to use donations for inappropriate purposes!"

As he said this, Lin Fan gave a faint glance at He Dahong, implying the message was meant for him.

Since overhearing He Dahong in the restroom, Lin Fan had been brewing this plan.

For now, the plan is still in its infancy, but one thing is certain, the Mortal Fund would never be as shameless as He Dahong.

He Dahong felt a bit uneasy, Lin Fan’s remarks seemed to be targeting him!

He had something to hide and didn’t dare to speak.

Unbeknownst to Lin Fan, after his words, a stunning young woman in a corner of the banquet, who had been drinking with her head down, suddenly looked up, her eyes curious as she glanced at him.

Du Tao exclaimed loudly at this moment, feeling excited.

So, it turns out the big boss wasn’t donating because he had such a plan, this comeback was executed beautifully!

He felt a bit ashamed, earlier, like everyone else, he was puzzled by the big boss’s actions, but in fact, the big boss’s outlook was far greater, beyond his comprehension and that of everyone present!

Truly deserving of being the big boss who quietly acquired Tianxue!

In an instant, Du Tao’s admiration for Lin Fan was as endless as a flowing river.

"I, Du Tao, promise that once the foundation is established, I will 10 million on behalf of myself." Du Tao declared.

He was also a sly old fox, being the first to to leave a good impression on the big boss.

Lin Fan indeed cast an approving look at Du Tao.

Du Tao had already expressed his stance.

Li Jianhua followed closely, "Mr. Lin, I also promise, on behalf of Teasing Whiskers Livestream, to 10 million to the Mortal Fund."

He now finally understood why Lin Fan suggested he not to the charity banquet, it turned out Lin Fan had this plan!

So, his money should of course be d to the Mortal Fund.

Mr. Lin is really something!

Jin Hesheng, the big boss of Xingquan Law Firm, slowly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, Xingquan also promises to 5 million, furthermore, regarding the establishment of the foundation, Mr. Lin can leave it to Xingquan."

That was exactly what Lin Fan intended, the establishment of a foundation would undoubtedly have to go through many legal procedures, handing it over to Xingquan gave him peace of mind.

"Great, I’ll trouble you then, Mr. Jin." Lin Fan smiled.

Jin Hesheng said, "No need to be polite, Mr. Lin establishing this foundation can be considered a great philanthropy benefiting all living beings, Xingquan has no reason not to support."

Previously, Lin Fan was on the brink of being ridiculed because he expressed not donating money, but once he announced the establishment of the Mortal Fund, he instantly turned the whole situation around.

"Can you translate for me what lavish means, what charity is, this is what the f*** is called lavish, this is what charity is!"

"Oh my god, he’s amazing, and the key is, he’s so young!"

"Splurging 1 billion at such a young age, this boldness is truly divine!"

"I’ve never seen anyone doing charity so lavishly before!"

"Oh my god, I want to know what on earth his background is, why is he so extravagant?"

People began whispering to each other, amazed, they were all ready to kneel before Lin Fan.

Feng Wanshan and Anna felt miserable inside.

Anna looked at Lin Fan with a complex expression, not knowing what to think, she felt she couldn’t see through Lin Fan.

Feng Wanshan was utterly depressed.

Originally, his donation of 10 million had already made him stand out in the whole room, earning enough face, but the emergence of Lin Fan’s foundation stole all his thunder and showed a much bigger picture than his, completely outshining him, his 10 million was essentially wasted.

Lin Fan this lunatic!

He’s got so damn much money, spending it without even blinking!

The key is, completely acting outside conventional norms!

Everyone does charity, it’s all about saving face, just for show, who would like him, pull out 1 billion for charity!

Now, the only way for Feng Wanshan to regain the spotlight is to also establish a foundation and put more money than Lin Fan.

But the cost would be too high, it’s not worth it at all.

Not to mention, pulling out 1 billion for charity, the company’s shareholders would definitely oppose it.

Looks like once again, he lost to Lin Fan.

Feng Wanshan was furious with Lin Fan.

His eyes shifted, and Feng Wanshan said sarcastically, "Mr. Lin, promoting your own foundation at someone else’s charity event, isn’t that a bit unethical? I, Feng, find this behavior inappropriate, I’m sure Mr. He Dahong, the person in charge here, feels the same."

He Dahong indeed wasn’t pleased, Lin Fan was clearly undermining and stealing the limelight!

He Dahong dared not go against Lin Fan, he had to maintain a virtuous image.

But since Feng Wanshan directly involved him, he couldn’t afford to be negligent towards him, after all, Feng Wanshan was his biggest benefactor.

"Haha, I’m quite straightforward, there’s nothing wrong with Mr. Lin promoting his foundation a bit, everyone is doing good deeds after all. But... may I ask if Mr. Lin has finished his promotion, so our charity donation can continue?" He Dahong said.

These words were tactful, a master of balancing, offending neither side.

Feng Wanshan, however, wasn’t willing to let it go, saying, "Mr. He is truly honest and sincere, if it were me, I’d be mad, Mr. Lin keeps emphasizing that his foundation is open and transparent, it seems to imply something, is it insinuating that Mr. He’s charity event isn’t transparent?"

This was Feng Wanshan trying to stir up conflict, wanting Lin Fan and He Dahong to tear each other apart.

This concerned the reputation of his charity event, so He Dahong immediately said, "It seems necessary for me to clarify, the purpose of our charity is also to support and assist the needy, all the money we raise will be used to help those in need, this is something no one can slander, if Mr. Lin is really insinuating us, then it’s just being despicable, I can only ask Mr. Lin to leave!"

Everyone looked at Lin Fan, sensing that He Dahong’s tone was a bit displeased, what would Lin Fan say in response?

Lin Fan, however, looked at Anna and smiled, "I said I was going to give you a joining gift, that yacht just got snatched by Boss Feng, how about I change it to a diamond necklace worth a million?"

Everyone looked at each other, confused as to what Lin Fan meant by suddenly changing the topic?

Yet He Dahong’s face changed, looking at Lin Fan with surprise, internally shocked.
