Chapter 62: True Love, False Charity

"Is the list for the party out? Some companies need us to go to confirm in person, is there a problem? ”

Qi Siyue checked the list of the charity New Year's Eve party with the Ark, and this party was named "Starry Night", which means that it is for the children of these stars to hold up a starry sky. The venue is the banquet hall of the five-star hotel under the name of Xinxing Group, which can be regarded as a joint event of Xinxing, and the number of people invited far exceeds Qi Siyue's plan for this alone.

After all, there are far fewer people who are willing to do charity than those who want to cooperate with the rising star Zheng Yinghua.

The money donated will be spent, but if you can take this opportunity to talk to Zheng Yinghua, maybe you will be able to do some business with the Nova Group in the future, especially the Nova recently won the Beicheng area for development, which is a big project of tens of billions of dollars, and there are many aspects that need to be cooperated, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie from it?

What's more, even if there is no chance to cooperate in the development process, when the new city is developed, it will have to attract investment, right? The new stars are willing to invest enough in entertainment and commercial facilities, as long as they do it, this popularity is wealth, and everyone can make money with it.

Qi Siyue also knows very well that the people who come to win people depend on whose face they are, but in any case, for her, being able to raise more funds and help more poor children is the ultimate goal, and the means in the process and the real purpose of those people are not important to her.

Fang Zhou handed her the list and said with some hesitation: "The heads of several companies secretly told me that they can allocate more of next year's donation to us, but ...... A bit of a condition......"

"Hehe, you want a kickback, right?" Qi Siyue is also from the business circle, what unspoken rules have seen a lot, it is clear that many large companies now have special donation amounts, which can offset taxes, can also enhance the company's image, and then ask a charity ambassador to name something κ“Ή It is more popular than doing some cookie-cutter advertisements.

It's just that where there is interest, someone is indispensable to reach out.

Fang Zhou noddedκ“Ή and was also a little helpless κ“Ή "The quota is determined, it is the same for whoever is given or not, it depends on who can give them higher benefits."

Qi Siyue shook her head and said, "Do you know what the king of Hades is good to see the little ghost?" They are just managers, not decision-makers, and they dare to reach inside...... Heheκ“Ή I'm not afraid of being chopped off if I stretch too long. You don't have to worry about these people for now, just mark them on the list and give them to me. I'll talk about it later. ”

Her tone was light and breezy κ“Ή It didn't seem to carry a hint of chill, but she was stunned to let Fang Zhou hear a little murderous aura, and quickly marked it on the listκ“Ή handed it to her κ“Ή Excused herself and left in a hurry.

Qi Siyue looked at the list he had marked, and lowered his eyes slightly, one of which was very familiar.

It's her old boss BIG, and it's her former boss κ“Ή Gao Jing, the current president of the Asia Pacific region.

The invitation was sent by her personally, but the purpose at that time was to show that she had not forgotten her roots, and the second was that after fading out of the original circle for more than a year, the boss of the year had called her several times, and the words were full of regret κ“Ή This kind of kindness, I have to express my gratitude when I have the opportunity.

It's just that he was willing to take the time to go to the meeting, which really gave her a lot of face.

And the companies marked by the ark are not big companies, but they have just caught up with the limelight in the past two years and have done a lot of foreign trade business.

This kind of money, she doesn't dare to touch it, if something happens in the future, sooner or later she will find out here, and when the time comes, she can't say clearly, and good charity will be scolded as hypocrisy, who cares how much work you spent in order to get this money?

I'd rather not do it than touch these unclean things.

As soon as she circled the companies in question, her mobile phone rang, and she looked down to see that the caller ID name was the person she had just been thinking about, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, Mr. Gao, I was still thinking about finding time to visit you, and your call arrived first."

"Yes, the main purpose of our party is to raise funds for poor autistic children, well, thank you, Mr. Gao. I'm so grateful for your presence and for being able to raise money for these kids, thank you so much! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a glass then!"

Putting down the phone, Qi Siyue's face couldn't help but show a smile, the old boss really did his best, not only to praise the people, but also to the money, with BIG in front of the donation, those in charge of the company who attended more or less had to keep up, so as not to be so embarrassed.

Of course, Zheng Yinghua told her in advance that there would be new stars to donate to her, which is a good start, but that is Zheng Yinghua's kindness, and what she can win now is her own connections.

Thinking of this, she called Fang Yihua again, "Teacher Xiao Fang, I have sent the invitation letter to Professor Tang, and he promised to come." At that time, I hope you can take out a few paintings and sell them at the party, I wonder if you have a suitable one? ”

"There are a few paintings, which the Ark told me before, and specially selected a few paintings to frame." Fang Yihua laughed softly: "There is another one painted by An Ran. ”

"Enron's paintings?" Qi Siyue was surprised and delighted, "Can he handle his paintings?" Will you be laughed at? ”

"Dean, why do you encourage other children all day long, but you have so little confidence in your own son?" Fang Yihua said with a smile: "Xiao An'an is very talented in painting, don't underestimate him!" ”

Qi Siyue said with some hesitation, "It's not that I don't have confidence, he has only studied for more than a year, and he is still so young, others don't believe it when he says it!" "Maybe you'll think it's you who made the gunman to help him become famous.

Although she didn't say this, she and Fang Yihua both knew very well that how many little prodigies and geniuses in reality were actually "artificial". If they bear this reputation, they are afraid that not only will Enron be ridiculed, but even the entire rehabilitation center will be questioned for cheating.

"It really can't be fake, you can rest assured." Fang Yihua sighed and said, "If they really don't want to believe it, then it's okay to say." Fang Zhou and I will set up a program, let a few children in the center paint with me, and then invite Mr. Mu and Dabao to frame the painting on the spot, and the effect should not be bad! ”

"That's sure to be fine!" Qi Siyue let out a sigh, she didn't want her son to perform well, especially for more than a year, although he still rarely spoke, but followed Fang Yihua to paint every day, from the things that no one could understand at the beginning, to now gradually taking shape, the brushstrokes are immature and colorful, even a layman like her, she can see that his progress even exceeds that of many adults.

When God closes one door for you, he opens another window for you.

She used to worry about her son's future, after all, she has a limited time to accompany him, and she will eventually walk ahead of him, leaving him with more money, it is better to let him master the common sense and skills of survival, just like Fang Yihua, only with an independent economic foundation can we talk about independent life and dignity.

Otherwise, the last time the Zhou couple went to look for her, if she was really a useless "autistic child" and "fool" as they imagined, wouldn't she be easily taken away by them, and I don't know which family to marry a "madman"......

Such parents, born but not raised, come back when needed, for their own benefit, is really in vain to be parents.

It's just that at this moment, no one expected that the legendary "madman" would meet them soon.

------------------

"Mom, it's not that I don't bring her to see you, it's really been too busy lately!"

As soon as Fang Zhou saw the phone call of his queen mother, he began to have a headache, although Fang Yihua agreed to meet his family, but as soon as she came back, she devoted herself to the preparations for the "Starry Night", plus she had to take the children of the art group to paint together, and she needed to prepare too much in advance, so she couldn't spare time to meet her parents, but Fang's mother was in a hurry, and even wondered if her son deliberately squeezed them, but she didn't want to go on a blind date honestly, so she took an unwarranted autistic girl as a shield.

"No matter how busy you are, you can't even have the time to eat?" Fang's mother seriously suspected that her son was cheating, "Anyway, if you don't bring someone here, I'll go to your place by myself, anyway, I don't know the place." ”

"My own mother, are you just going to make trouble for me here, okay? We're preparing for a charity gala, and we're so busy that we don't even have much time to eat, so I'm begging you, I'll take her to see you as soon as the gala is over! Fang Zhou sighed while rubbing the corners of his forehead, "What's more, Teacher Xiao Fang also wants to leave a good impression on you, so I want to find an opportunity to meet you with plenty of time, otherwise it would be too rude, right?" When the time comes, you should be in a hurry and disrespect you......"

"You just! Hmph," Fang's mother rolled her eyes, "Then your party, the charity party, give me a few invitations, and your father and I will just go to see it!" ”

"Huh? What are you doing here? Fang Zhou was taken aback, "That's a serious fundraising for poor autistic children, there are no big stars......"

"Can't we also go and give love?" Fang's mother said angrily: "It's not just us, let your dad introduce a few more friends to come over with you when the time comes, since you want to help people, of course, the more people you call, the better!" ”

"That's okay," Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to advise: "You ask Dad to find a few generous friends who are willing to donate, but don't bring that kind of iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair, and then I will lose face!" ”

"Okay, okay, I promise I won't embarrass you, you just remember, we'll go when the time comes, don't hide that girlfriend of yours anymore!"

Fang's mother hung up the phone and praised her wit with satisfaction.

Fang Zhou came back to his senses and promised his mother...... I brought someone to visit with my father...... His girlfriend? didn't say hello beforehand, would Teacher Xiao Fang be angry?

"I really didn't mean to agree to her, my mother first fooled me and said that I wanted an invitation to bring someone to donate, and when I agreed, she suddenly said that she wanted to see you......"

He looked at Fang Yihua's face cautiously, for fear that she would be unhappy, "If you don't have time, I'll ask them to meet another day?" ”

"No need." Fang Yihua smiled slightly, his eyes were clear and thorough, "It's me who is not good this time, I said that I would see my parents when I came back, and I always dragged on and didn't take time to see your parents and your parents." Since they are coming to the party, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day. ”

"Okay!" Fang Zhou was a little happy and a little nervous, but comforted her and said: "Don't be nervous, my parents are very good, not to mention that they will bring their friends with them that day, and they will definitely not embarrass you." ”

"Okay," Fang Yihua felt that he was even more nervous than herself, and there was nothing to be afraid of, for her, the ark was completely an accident in her life plan, if she could have a good ending, she would naturally be happy, if not, she would just go back to the original path and accept such an ending, what was she afraid of?

Ark got her approval, and began to think about what the two of them would wear at the party.

"What color evening dress are you going to wear? Should I try it with you first, even if I can't match it as a couple, I can match it with a couple color! ”

Fang Yihua hesitated for a moment and glanced at him, "My dress is basically white, but is it appropriate to wear an evening dress that night?" I also have to take the kids to draw together......"

"Painting...... Fang Zhou scratched his head with some regret, white on Fang Yihua's body was particularly flattering to her temperament, but if he put it on...... I'm afraid that if I can't be a prince charming, I will be laughed at as white + black, he is not the kind of particularly dark skin, but in the past year, he has taken the children outside to train and play all day long, and he has long since lost the white skin of the office otaku in the past.

He could imagine Fang Yihua wearing a white dress like a Lingbo fairy, what about himself? It completely sank into the contrast...... If you wear a black suit, it's too dull......

Think about it again, if Fang Yihua's white dress was rubbed with paint when painting...... A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately became excited, "Yihua, you say...... Can your drawings be painted on clothes? ”

In the past two days, he racked his brains for the souvenirs and souvenirs of the party, trying to choose the right one, which was neither too expensive for them to afford, nor too cheap for people to look down on, but also showed the characteristics of their rehabilitation center...... Sometimes Qi Siyue's requests are so many that he reminds him of those legendary party A, colorful black, that's how it came about!

But right now, Fang Yihua suddenly lit up the inspiration in his mind, "You try it first, let me see!" Fast! ——”

Fang Yihua hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay!" ”
