Although Lin Chuan did not attend the party, he still reminded Qin Mengying that it was best to ask Ju Xuanyao where the funds for hosting this charity party came from.
The entire charity gala requires at least tens of thousands of dollars to put together.
To them, eight thousand is nothing.
But for ordinary people, that is a symbol of a household worth ten thousand yuan, and it is not so easy to earn.
Moreover, Qin Mengying also authorized the Mengying Group and her own logo to Ju Xuanyao, so Qin Mengying would be responsible for the quality of the party and charity fundraising.
But the party was about to start, and all the invited guests had already arrived. At this time, it was too late to even ask.
As the exciting music sounded, the host's voice solemnly announced: "The Mengying Night Charity Gala begins now!"
Qin Mengying, who was sitting in the front row, was watching the performance and thinking about what Lin Chuan said, and felt something was wrong.
But when he turned around to look, he didn't know where Ju Xuanyao had gone, and even Shitong was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking that they might be busy backstage, they didn't care to continue watching the show.
When it came to donating money, Qin Mengying took the lead and enthusiastically donated 100,000 yuan.
Other guests also followed suit. Some guests donated 1,000 yuan directly, and at least 100 yuan was donated.
The staff walked around the movie with donation boxes, and when the boxes were full, they were taken to the backstage.
Most of the guests who arrived were foreign businessmen doing business in Hui City, and there were really not many local wealthy people.
These businessmen also want to use this opportunity to leave a good impression on Qin Mengying and Mengying Group.
So when I donated money, I was very enthusiastic and generous.
Every donation will be recorded by the staff.
The host also asked the poor people in remote areas to come to the stage and bow to everyone to express their gratitude.
Everything went very smoothly. At this time, the host announced according to the program and distributed the donations to these people on the spot.
Hundreds of people are waiting for the staff to bring the donations and distribute them to these people. When the applause breaks out, it will be very touching.
However, from expectation to suspicion, to nervousness, a few minutes passed, but Ju Xuanyao did not bring the money.
Qin Mengying frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, so she immediately got up and went backstage.
In order to stabilize the scene, the host said with a smile: "This time we have raised a total of 260,000 donations. The staff behind the scenes are sorting it out. Please wait patiently!"
However, at this time, Ju Xuanyao and all the donations disappeared.
Some staff who saw it said that Ju Xuanyao left through the back door.
Qin Mengying's mind suddenly buzzed, and she was completely at a loss.
She was deceived, used and played by Ju Xuanyao.
At this moment, a large number of reporters realized that something was wrong, and they all rushed to the backstage to take pictures of Qin Mengying, who had a panic-stricken look on her face.
"Ms. Qin, why are those donations missing? Didn't you say that they will be distributed now to those who are waiting for the donations to save their lives?"
“Can that money still be distributed?”
"This is a charity gala organized by your Mengying Group. Can you explain it to us?"
Qin Mengying was so shaken by the flash that she fainted.
260,000 is not much, and it is not even money to her, but if such a situation occurs, it will be an absolute blow to Mengying Group and her reputation.
Fortunately, Qin Mengying still retained some sense in the chaos. She immediately left the cinema under the escort of her bodyguards and came to the office to call Lin Chuan.
The moment the call was connected, Qin Mengying cried.
"Master, I was deceived. Ju Xuanyao took away all the donations and I don't know where they are. Now there are many reporters outside the door. I don't know what to do!"
Lin Chuan stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, wife, how much did you donate this time?"
"260,000!"
"You immediately ask Xue Xiaomeng to hand over all the cash in the business center to you. Suppress the situation first. I will be there immediately!"
At this moment, Qin Mengying felt that Lin Chuan was her spiritual support.
Xue Xiaomeng was very impressive and put 320,000 in cash on the table in less than two minutes.
"Mr. Qin, these are all the cash in the business center. I will go to the venue with you!"
Qin Mengying nodded weakly, and the two of them immediately took the money and went to the cinema again.
Fortunately, there are a few celebrities, and now they have added a few programs to wrap up the show.
Even so, the audience and the reporters were still excited.
"Then someone must have taken the money away. What kind of thing is this done by the Mengying Group? The money we frugally saved and donated has been taken away so easily. Is it a joke?"
"Either don't do it or do it well. How good is it on the flyer? The charity fund-raising initiated by Ms. Qin Mengying of Mengying Group ended up in this scene?"
"In the final analysis, Qin Mengying just wants to take the opportunity to hype up her own fame. She can't advertise to promote herself. Spending 18,000 yuan on a charity gala is cheaper than advertising. In the end, people were fooled.
Ha ha!"
All kinds of cynicism reached Qin Mengying's ears, and the reporter's flashbulb was still crackling at her.
Qin Mengying was physically and mentally exhausted, and her whole body was weak. Her wounds, which had only healed for a short time, were still aching.
What else could she say now?
The entire party used her and Mengying Group's trademarks.
They didn't know Ju Xuanyao, but they knew her, Qin Mengying, so she had to bear the blame.
Fortunately, Xue Xiaomeng's public relations skills were very good. Seeing that the public opinion was becoming more and more unfavorable to Qin Mengying, she simply stepped onto the stage in person, took the host's microphone, and spoke very calmly.
"Please listen to me quietly. No one took the money away at all. Because there was a lot of change in the donation, it was inconvenient to organize and distribute it. The staff sent the money to the finance department to exchange it for whole coins.
Because the accountant in the finance department did not coordinate the handover with the party, the money was not ready. We could only mobilize funds from the nearby shopping mall, which took some time.
Fortunately, we rushed back in time, and in my hand is the donation donated today, totaling 263,256 yuan, no less than one cent, no less than one cent, and we will start distributing these donations now!"
Regardless of whether they were convincing or not, at least the situation was stabilized, and the host took the opportunity to invite those people to the stage again to accept the donations.
At this moment, the theater door was opened, and the light beam from the hall rushed into the dark theater.
In that light and shadow, under the gaze of everyone, Lin Chuan walked towards Qin Mengying with firm steps.
He had the same confident and charming smile on his face as always, and even waved to greet everyone.
His aura alone suppressed the restlessness of the entire audience.
The host said excitedly: "Gentlemen and ladies, this party welcomes an important guest. He is the president of our Mengying Group, Mr. Lin Chuan!"
