"He's joking." Shen Fanlei smiled uncomfortably: "That's just the way he is. Just get used to it."
"He comes from a poor mountainous area. It's normal not to donate money." After a pause, Su Mengqing then accused: "But if you give me a dollar, isn't this humiliating others? He also said a lot of useless words. Listen. It’s really off-putting.”
"Actually... he was joking. He just has such a sense of humor." Shen Fanlei also felt that the fuss was a bit too much. It was just a small donation. Luo Ailin told the matter outside, fearing that someone would hate him even more. Die Lingcang.
There is one thing that Shen Fanlei knows, but many people don't know. Although this charity event came from the school's call, it was initiated by Shi Yu.
Shi Yu comes from a poor mountainous area, a place where ethnic minorities live together. As a poor county in the country, the per capita annual income is only more than 800 yuan. However, she is not a special admissions student. On the contrary, her family is wealthy.
Shi Yu's hometown produces bamboo. Shi Yu's father is very business-minded. He discovered business opportunities many years ago. He transported bamboo out of the mountains and took out loans to build a factory to produce bamboo charcoal products. Later, her father introduced technology from abroad to convert bamboo fiber into Extract it to make clothes.
Whether it is bamboo charcoal products or bamboo fiber clothing, Shi Yu's father has filled a gap in the country. When most people were not aware of the prospects, he put into mass production to seize the market. As a result, within a few years, Shi Yu's father made a lot of money. Yi. became the richest man in the province to which he belongs.
When the family had money, the Shi family left the mountains and lived in a big city. It was not until a few days ago that my father took Shi Yu back to visit relatives, and he discovered that there was still poverty in his hometown.
After all, the Chinese people are a farming nation. Therefore, there is one concept that is unshakable in traditional thinking. That is the feeling of country. This means that the deepest soul of every Chinese person is closely connected with his hometown. Together, no matter how many years pass, this connection is difficult to be severed.
For example, the Long family has taken root in Southeast Asia for two to three hundred years. The first thing they did after coming to China for development was to go back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. The same goes for many overseas Chinese. After returning to their hometowns, they spent a lot of money everywhere to build bridges. Paving roads, donating money for education. In fact, it is based on this simple emotion.
Everyone hopes that their hometown is good enough, that their hometown is rich, and that they have a bright face.
Shi Yu's father grew up in the mountains and had a stronger affection for his hometown. So after returning from his hometown, he immediately mobilized his business partners to donate money for poverty alleviation. Shi Yu felt that he should do something, so he found a school and hoped. Mobilize classmates to help students in their hometown.
The school felt that this was a good thing. It was time for these powerful children to make some contributions to society. So they fully supported it and identified several schools for counterpart support. In addition, the school considered that this was also an opportunity to train students. Therefore, The power of the entire fundraising activity was delegated to the students. The overall person in charge was naturally Shi Yu.
In order to make the event a success, Shi Yu ran before and after. After a few days, everyone lost weight.
Shen Fanlei had heard about it. Shi Yu didn't know why he hated Ling Cang very much. If he knew that Ling Cang was still playing tricks when donating money, he would probably have to get rid of Ling Cang.
Sichuan girls look pretty, but are actually tough and fierce. For example, girls from Yunnan and Guizhou, such as Hong Xue, also dare to love and hate. When Shi Yu knew that Ding Shijia was flirting with women outside, he almost pulled out a knife to dig out the roots of this school idol in class. Ding Shijia I covered my pants and crotch and ran all the way home from school. Only then did I keep my roots.
Su Mengqing is only studying in the school temporarily. She just doesn't like Ling Cang. Shi Yu is an official student of the school. If he is determined to cause trouble for Ling Cang, as long as Ling Cang doesn't transfer to another school, the next two and a half years will be very difficult. It will be very sad.
"Forget it. He can do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with me anyway..." Shen Fanlei kept telling herself in her heart. Suddenly she found a piece of paper on the ground.
This piece of paper was accidentally dropped by Ling Cang when he opened his wallet to take out money. Ling Cang was spitting at Luo Ailin and didn't notice it at all. Shen Fanlei picked it up and took a look. Her brows immediately wrinkled: "Remittance slip."
Su Mengqing also came over. She was surprised to find that the recipient of the remittance was a primary school involved in poverty alleviation. The remitter was none other than Ling Cang himself. The amount was as much as 150,000 yuan.
"This guy..." Su Mengqing felt a little embarrassed when she thought of her evaluation of Ling Cang just now: "Isn't he quite generous..."
"He said..." Shen Fanlei forgot what she had just said in her heart. She immediately became proud of Ling Cang: "People who have really done a lot of things will not talk about it."
"But he is a special admissions student. How can he get so much money?"
Shen Fanlei secretly observed Ling Cang and said without thinking: "He is very good at playing cards. I heard from Liang Xiangyu that he won a lot of money in the casino a few days ago."
Liang Xiangyu was quick-tongued and couldn't hide the matter in his heart, so he told Shen Fanlei. Shen Fanlei was originally strict with his mouth, but at this time, he was upset and had a good relationship with Su Mengqing, so he accidentally revealed the matter.
"He actually gambled." Su Mengqing's impression of Ling Cang's improvement immediately hit the bottom again: "His family conditions are so poor. How can he be addicted to gambling... Even if he is a very good gambler, he will lose nine out of ten bets. Sooner or later he will lose. Go bankrupt... By the way, he has no property at all, so he can only borrow loan sharks."
Shen Fanlei also hated gambling. She gave Liang Xiangyu a scolding at that time and accused him of taking Ling Cang to that kind of place. Su Mengqing described a very scary scene at this time. Shen Fanlei thought of Ling Cang. I may be chased by loan sharks, which makes me a little scared.
At this time, Ling Cang sat down. Shen Fanlei hurriedly hid the remittance slip and did not return it to Ling Cang. She planned to pretend not to know about it and use the remittance slip as a souvenir to prove her past. Her boyfriend has a very good character. But when she got home from school in the evening, she couldn't help but call Ling Cang: "You made a donation."
"You picked up the remittance slip." Ling Cang did not deny it. He said directly: "I told you. Why can't I find it?"
"Where did you get so much money?"
"I saved it." Ling Cang sighed. He felt a little heartache. He only kept the necessary living expenses. Then he donated all the money. Including winnings in casinos and cheating through various means. Speaking of which, there are two people who contributed the most to this money. One is Hong Xue and the other is Cai Dingqian.
"Why don't you donate in class."
"You are such a smart person, how come you can't even figure this out?" Ling Cang smiled helplessly: "I am a special admissions student and I spent so much money at once. Naturally, everyone wants to ask where the money comes from. Could it be? I want to tell them I won it from gambling."
"That's true..." After a pause, Shen Fanlei asked again: "Then why don't you donate it to the civil affairs or education department, or a charity such as the Red Cross."
"Put it down. After this money goes into their pockets, who knows whether it will be used to help poor students, or to build office buildings, buy high-end off-road vehicles, go abroad for inspections, eat and drink..." Ling Cang sneered. Said: "So, it is better to send the money directly to the people who need help. In fact, even this is not guaranteed. Do you know whether the school leaders are reliable? Do you know whether the school will use the money to improve teaching or to do other things? Do you know if the higher education department will find excuses to divide it up?"
"What's wrong with this society..." Shen Fanlei thought of the media's disclosure a few days ago that the Red Cross spent 10,000 yuan on a meal. She also thought of the tent that cost 10,000 yuan a tent earlier. Then she thought that these were just icebergs. Yijiao sighed helplessly: "Some people's morals have been so degraded that they have no bottom line. They dare to greed for any money and do whatever it takes."
"No matter what they do. When the fuss gets too much, someone will naturally deal with them." Ling Cang said one word at a time: "We just need to be ourselves."
"This sounds a bit like the whole world is in trouble and you are the only one who is clear."
"Isn't it?" Ling Cang said. Suddenly he remembered: "By the way. Why did you return the remittance slip to me?"
"Throw it away." Shen Fanlei pursed her lips and lied: "I just threw it away. Why do I want that thing..."
"Just throw it away." Ling Cang said helplessly: "There is really no use keeping it."
After this conversation, Shen Fanlei changed her opinion of Ling Cang. However, two people still hated Ling Cang. One was Su Mengqing and the other was Luo Ailin.
Luo Ailin sorted out the donations and gave them to Shi Yu. The latter looked at the donation list and amount and was very happy: "Your class has raised so much."
"I tried my best." Luo Ailin didn't mention it at all. Most of the donations were due to Shen Fanlei and Su Mengqing taking the lead. Instead, she took all the credit: "I almost had to talk a lot to convince my classmates. They donated generously. At first, the classmates did not understand. I did ideological work one by one..."
Shi Yu glanced at the donation details and found that Luo Ailin's donation was very pitiful. It was a bit strange how persuasive Luo Ailin could be. But the donations for three classes a year were there after all. What's more, they were donated for free after all. So she really Sorry to question anything: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. But..." Luo Ailin's face suddenly darkened: "Not all students have responded to the call."
"This is normal."
"Forget it if you don't respond. He also said a lot of unpleasant things." Luo Ailin didn't care whether Shi Yu was interested in asking or not. She just made up random things: "He said, you are poor just because you are poor. You are poor anyway. It’s him who wants to raise money, but he wants to make others as poor as others. He also said that donations cannot be in vain. Your hometown must give an explanation.”
"What explanation does he want?"
"Write a 100,000-word letter of thanks and erect a monument."
