Chapter 713: Chapter 713

By the time various guests entered the conference hall, Fang Bai, Hua Tianhe, Qian Haoduo and others had a private discussion, and decided to have some less important people stand, while those who qualified to sit included not only individuals of note in Huaxia but also Fang Bai’s friends.

For his friends, Fang Bai never skimped, regardless of how low their status or weak their positions might be.

Sitting in the very center of the first row were Lu Xingping, the four National Doctors, and the leaders of the three great Ancient Medicine Sects. On the two sides seated the heads of various prominent Huaxia clans and various guests representing their families, such as Lin Ruoxue, Ye Wumei, Tang Wenrou, and Qin Yaorao.

As for the guests in the back rows, they were seated casually since they were merely there to show their faces and Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.

Looking at those in the front rows like Lu Xingping, the prominent figures and the representatives of the powerful families, nobody expected that the young Fang Bai would have accumulated such a vast network of connections and wield such influence.

Even those who had initially underestimated Fang Bai started to regard him with new respect.

Regardless of whether Fang Bai’s medical expertise was as legendary as rumored, his connections and influence alone were worth everyone’s attention.

What surprised the guests was that the Dragon Maiden actually took a seat next to Lu Xingping, a position of extreme prestige, prompting everyone to speculate about the young, beautiful, and valiant woman’s background.

Besides Fang Bai, Lu Xingping, and a few others, no one else recognized the Dragon Maiden, but having observed the respect she commanded from the likes of Lu Xingping, they realized she must have an extraordinary and powerful background.

The unveiling ceremony for the "Fang Bai Charity Foundation" brought together not only many noteworthy medical professionals from the Huaxia medical community but also an assembly of beauties.

Dongfang Rushi, Dongfang Ruhua, Su Linglong, Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, Qin Yaorao, Xia Chenyu, and the Dragon Maiden—these eight women, each radiant, stunningly beautiful, and celestial in their presence, sat together, forming the most dazzling scenery within the conference hall.

At least half of the guests’ gazes lingered on them, finding it difficult to look away, thinking that the trip was well worth it just to see so many extraordinary beauties seldom encountered in daily life.

Among the women, some were more acquainted with each other, like Ye Wumei and Xia Chenyu, who sat together and whispered, discussing who knows what.

Aside from Dongfang Rushi, the other seven women had cultivated the Martial Arts Techniques taught by Fang Bai to varying extents. Therefore, sitting together, they could sense each other’s auras, experiencing a feeling of a spiritual connection and mutual attraction, and thus knew that each of the beauties seated beside them had an extraordinary relationship with Fang Bai.

"Dear friends, on behalf of the soon-to-be-established ’Fang Bai Charity Foundation,’ I warmly welcome your arrival and sincerely thank you for your enthusiastic participation!"

After the guests were seated, Fang Bai stepped up to the podium, surveyed the crowd below with a glance, and spoke loudly, "I believe everyone is already aware of the purpose of establishing this charity foundation, which is to help those who are seriously ill and cannot afford medical treatment in the hospital...

The foundation is in its initial stages and will certainly have many imperfections. I hope for your guidance in the future. I plan to inject one billion in funds into the foundation to start with. As for all of you, those with money can Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. Even a donation of just one cent or a blessing is a gesture, for which I express my gratitude here.

For those willing to Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform... As the founder of the foundation, I also make a pledge here: anyone who Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform..."

Fang Bai’s speech was very brief, finishing in just a few words. It wasn’t emotionally charged or overly enthusiastic, but it still won a round of applause.

Especially those who knew how profound Fang Bai’s medical skills were felt their hearts stir with excitement upon hearing his last promise.

They knew that having the opportunity to be treated by Fang Bai sometimes meant having an extra lifeline.

However, those who had no previous contact with Fang Bai were somewhat skeptical, thinking Fang Bai was being arrogantly dismissive by making such a promise in front of the National Doctors and the Ancient Medicine Sects, as if none could compare to his skills.

A single consultation by one of the four National Doctors could cost upwards of ten million, could Fang Bai’s medical skills and reputation truly be mentioned in the same breath?

The donation segment that followed was straightforward: donors filled out checks, went up to the podium to hand them to Fang Bai, who then passed them to the foundation staff behind him. The staff would then announce the donor’s name, status, and donation amount. Fang Bai would express thanks and invite the donor to give a short speech on the podium.

The foundation’s staff had been temporarily borrowed from Jiang Xiaoyu’s charity foundation to assist; they were experienced, and Fang Bai did not have to worry about the charity’s preparation process or the formal inauguration today.

Fang Bai’s role was simply to lead the proceedings.

After he handed over the check made out for one billion, the staff announced his name, status, and the donation figure. The check Fang Bai wrote was displayed on the large screen on the side of the conference hall so that all the guests could see it.

Everyone had thought the one billion Fang Bai promised would be in Huaxia Currency, but it turned out to be US dollars.

One billion US dollars, equivalent to over sixty billion in Huaxia Currency, was a significant sum for anyone there, so when the staff declared the amount, most of the people present gasped audibly.

Even the representatives of wealthy families were taken aback.

"Over sixty billion Huaxia Currency... Fang Bai really is generous!" exclaimed Lu Xingping, as he turned to Qian Haoduo and the four National Doctors, as well as the Dragon Maiden seated next to him.

Lu Xingping knew Fang Bai was a major shareholder in Beauty Company, but since the company had risen quickly, Fang Bai could not have possibly accumulated so much money through dividends alone.

However, having witnessed Fang Bai’s many incredible feats, Lu Xingping knew he must have other secret income sources. To him, it wouldn’t be surprising, not even if Fang Bai had contributed even more than sixty billion Huaxia Currency.
