As soon as she left the mall, Ling Hongmei made a phone call.
"Mr. Yu, I've arrived in Hedu... OK, I'll be at Beichao Cafe in twenty minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Hongmei instructed Fang Xiaoyu to drive to Beichao Cafe and met with the old man Mr. Yu.
"This is my friend Fang Xiaoyu, and this is Mr. Yu." Ling Hongmei smiled, sat down in front of Mr. Yu, and made a brief introduction.
The old man named Mr. Yu glanced at Fang Xiaoyu lightly, and said somewhat unhappy: "Meimei! Didn't you say you came alone?"
"Xiaoyu was worried that I was too tired to drive, so he said he wanted to see me off, so he came. Mr. Yu, you won't stop cooperating with me for this reason, right?"
Ling Hongmei's meaning is very obvious, Fang Xiaoyu is her boyfriend. She knows that Mr. Yu is a typical hypocrite who wants to eat tofu and loves face.
The two are friends in the business world. After this guy knew about her divorce, he always wanted to develop her into a lover, but Ling Hongmei avoided him. But today there was a contract to be renewed, so she had no choice but to let Fang Xiaoyu pretend to be her boyfriend.
Meet him.
Mr. Yu smiled and replied: "Of course not. We have been friends for many years, and I will always support you."
He glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and immediately advised Ling Hongmei: "However, Meimei, I have something you may not like to hear. But since we have been friends for many years, I still have to say it."
"Say it!" Ling Hongmei replied with a smile.
"Looking for a man! Look for someone who is down-to-earth. Don't just look at the face and figure. That's the standard for being a duck." Mr. Yu deliberately asked Fang Xiaoyu: "Little brother, where do you work? Please introduce me.
alone?"
"Me!" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ling Hongmei on the side, and immediately hugged her in his arms, pretending to be intimate and said: "I am engaged in breeding."
"Can I give you a business card?" Mr. Yu felt that Fang Xiaoyu was bragging, so he asked intentionally.
"Sorry, I didn't bring it."
"Oh!" Mr. Yu didn't say anything else. He lit a cigarette and took two puffs. He took out two contracts from his briefcase and handed them to Ling Hongmei.
"Meimei, actually, I signed the cooperation agreement a long time ago. I just wanted to take a look at you before inviting you over. A man who treats you well should not just say it with words, but must prove it with actual actions. He must be willing to give up.
Spend money on her, not spend money on a woman in return."
This guy's eyes were quite sharp, and he could tell at a glance that Fang Xiaoyu was a poor man.
In order to save face, Ling Hongmei explained with a smile: "Mr. Yu, Xiaoyu's career is actually doing well. He is no worse than me."
"Really?" Mr. Yu rolled his eyes at Fang Xiaoyu with disdain, and deliberately mocked: "Mr. Fang, how much do you plan to donate to tonight's charity gala? With such an important performance opportunity, you will definitely not let Meimei down!"
"
After hearing this, Ling Hongmei immediately answered: "Mr. Yu, don't worry, Xiaoyu is very caring. As for the amount of donation, I will keep it secret for the time being. Anyway, I believe he will not let me down."
"Very good! I'll see you in the evening." Mr. Yu replied and drank his coffee dully. He was waiting to see Fang Xiaoyu's joke. In the evening, he wanted to see how much this boy could donate.
After leaving the cafe, Ling Hongmei privately gave Fang Xiaoyu 50,000 in cash and warned: "Wait a while, you can donate 50,000! Mr. Yu will definitely take the opportunity to mock you at the charity meeting. So, when you donate, be more high-profile
, use cash to respond to his ridicule."
"Okay!" Fang Xiaoyu nodded.
After a while, the two of them entered the Wanyan Hall together. The people sitting inside were all rich people, and they were all bosses of the service industry in Hedu City.
This evening is said to be a charity meeting, but it is actually an industry exchange meeting with a strong reputation and wealth. The key point is to be able to make beauties and get to know more noble people at such an evening, which will facilitate future business. There is another way to just come here
To show off wealth.
Under the instigation of the host, the bosses donated money one by one in a very high-profile manner, and some even held up signs with the amount marked on them. The host's voice was also particularly loud.
There are tens of thousands, twenty thousand, and fifty thousand, but few exceed fifty thousand.
Mr. Yu came on stage. He took the microphone intentionally and mentioned Ling Hongmei specifically.
"Today, I want to focus on Mr. Ling from Songhu Hotel in Long County. As far as I know, she has now found her true love and made friends with a very rich young master, Mr. Fang. I hope that our Mr. Fang can
Show his love."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of warm applause.
Mr. Yu took the brief from the host in a high-profile manner and added: "Mr. Fang, please tell me that you are not afraid of being ugly. I have liked Miss Ling Hongmei for many years. She can be considered your love rival! Now, I challenge Mr. Fang.
Than love. Of course, you don’t have to accept it, but I am willing to use my sincerity and strength to express my love. I will donate 150,000 to the charity in my own name."
Unofficial charity associations like this in third- and fourth-tier cities are not formal in nature and have strong commercial purposes. Very few come with the true purpose of doing charity.
Therefore, they generally don’t donate too much. Rich bosses donate a little more and often like to show off in a high-profile manner to show their strength. They even openly shout about “love”.
Mr. Yu felt that this was an excellent opportunity to slap Fang Xiaoyu in the face, so he did not hesitate to spend 150,000 yuan to deliberately embarrass Fang Xiaoyu.
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience immediately became excited.
"One hundred and fifty thousand! Boss Yu is really a rich man."
"Yes! He will definitely be the first charity person tonight."
Everyone focused their attention on Fang Xiaoyu and Ling Hongmei.
Ling Hongmei felt her face burning. She wanted to donate now. Without 200,000 yuan, there was no way to save her face.
However, for this kind of charity where the form is greater than the content, she really doesn't want to spend so much money. Two hundred thousand is not a small amount.
She lowered her head, thought for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "No matter what, just donate 50,000 yuan! Xiaoyu, please explain it to the meeting later. In fact, we are just ordinary friends. Come to the evening party with me."
That’s all.”
Although Ling Hongmei loves face, she would rather lose it than two hundred thousand.
Fang Xiaoyu felt extremely disappointed. It was the first time that he felt that money was so lethal. It was like a slap on his face.
He walked towards the stage, thinking of words over and over again to convince the audience.
"Good evening, everyone. Actually, Mr. Ling and I are just ordinary friends. Maybe Mr. Yu thinks too much. However, I personally believe that love cannot be measured by money..."
The more Fang Xiaoyu talked, the less confident he felt and couldn't continue.
Mr. Yu, who was sitting in the audience, had a proud expression on his face and kept rubbing his hands, wanting to go up and say a few shabby words.
At this moment, a staff member on the side took two checks and ran up to the stage and muttered a few words to the host.
The host's face suddenly darkened, showing an expression of surprise.
After a while, she raised the check in her hand with a smile and shouted: "Mr. Fang is a very great philanthropist. He is low-key and unassuming. Look, this is the charity he just asked someone to donate."
He donated one million, of which half a million was donated in his own name, and the other half million was donated on behalf of Ms. Ling Hongmei."
"How is this possible?" Mr. Yu's face turned pale and he hesitated for a long time and was speechless. (To be continued)
