Dozens of reporters raised their hands in unison.
Many people were watching, and some were even live-streaming. They came to confront Lin Chen, thinking that if he didn't agree to donate even one ten-thousandth of his wealth, how could he save face?
Lin Chen smiled faintly and said, "Friends who are live-streaming, please film clearly. They have all agreed to donate one ten-thousandth of their wealth. If they don't donate when the time comes, it will be a fraudulent donation."
Hearing Lin Chen say this, the people live-streaming around quickly turned their cameras to those reporters.
"Lin Chen, how much have you donated?"
A reporter asked loudly.
He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Lin Chen had donated over a hundred million? If that were the case, each of them would have to donate ten thousand, which was no small sum.
Lin Chen said, "After I made money writing fairy tales, I soon established a charitable foundation called the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation."
"Qian Qian Charitable Foundation? I'm very familiar with charitable foundations in China, and I've never heard of it."
A reporter questioned.
Lin Chen: "When providing assistance, we used other names. For example, the Dream Fund, the Dragon Heart Fund, the Yan Huang Fund, the Hope Fund, and so on."
Some comments popped up in the live-streaming room: "I received assistance from the Dragon Heart Fund. I couldn't find it online at all. So it was hidden."
"I received assistance from the Dream Fund."
"I received assistance from the Yan Huang Fund—"
Many voices emerged in the live-streaming room.
The Qian Qian Charitable Foundation had already spent 700 million, and a very large number of people across the country had received help.
Lin Chen continued, "The Qian Qian Charitable Foundation does not accept external donations. Its source of funds, apart from what I donate, is my daughter Qian Qian's New Year's money."
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Even more comments popped up in the live-streaming room.
"Lin Chen, what is the specific amount?"
Someone asked loudly.
Lin Chen said, "The amount I donated before being cyberbullied was billion. All of Qian Qian's New Year's money was 263,500 yuan."
"Over 700 million of this money has been spent, and the current account balance is around 400 million. Every transaction has a detailed record."
"The salaries of the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation's employees are paid from a separate fund and are not included in the charitable donations."
Dozens of reporters were dumbfounded.
billion?
One ten-thousandth of that meant they each had to donate 110,000?
They could all afford the money, but 110,000 was not a small amount for them. It would hurt them for several years to take it out.
" billion! Master Lin has only been successful for a little over half a year, right? Did he donate all the money he made writing fairy tales in such a short time?"
"Tears, Qian Qian donated over 200,000. She's only three years old, and I'm thirty years old and don't have that much in savings."
"Master Lin actually donated so much in silence."
Countless comments flooded the live-streaming room.
Many of Lin Chen's fans entered these live-streaming rooms.
They were a little afraid to watch before.
They didn't want to see their idol in a mess.
Now the news online had exposed Lin Chen.
A reporter said somewhat unwillingly, "Lin Chen, you said you donated billion, so you donated billion?"
Lin Chen looked at the other party and said calmly, "All donations have records and can withstand anyone's inspection. If it's found that I donated less, I'll donate ten times the difference."
"You all just agreed to donate one ten-thousandth. I donated billion, so you only need to donate 110,000."
"If you think this money is too little, you can discuss donating 200,000 or 300,000, and I can supplement it to 2 billion or 3 billion without any problem."
If they had such benevolence, they wouldn't have come here today.
Lin Chen's gaze swept over them: "No increase? Even if there's no increase, the promised donation of 110,000 can't be less."
"I hope all sectors of society will supervise them more."
Dozens of reporters were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
There was a high probability that this money could not be reimbursed.
If they didn't donate, they would lose face.
Moreover, if they didn't donate, there was a high possibility that they would lose their jobs.
They were destined to suffer this silent loss.
"Damn it, whoever wants to come to this kind of thing in the future can come. I will definitely not come to Lin Chen's place to cause trouble in the future," one reporter cursed inwardly.
Someone around said loudly, "Master Lin, you donated so much money, why didn't you say it before? If you had said it, there wouldn't have been this misunderstanding."
Lin Chen looked at the other party.
"Doing charity will also be subject to some interference. With my strength in the past, I couldn't eliminate those interferences. At that time, it was best for the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation to operate in a low-key manner."
"Now the situation is different. The scale of the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation has become larger, and the small troubles it encounters have also increased."
"My ability is also much stronger than before. It's better for me to stand up for the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation."
Someone said, "Master Lin, many of your fans in my live-streaming room are asking how to donate to the foundation."
Lin Chen looked at the other party and said, "Everyone, thank you for your kindness, but the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation does not accept external donations or donated materials."
"We also don't need volunteers."
"It would be good if some people don't obstruct us in the process of helping others."
Someone asked, "Master Lin, have you encountered such troubles in the process of helping others in the past?"
Lin Chen said, "Some people take advantage and demand benefits; some people bully others by relying on their power; I was too lazy to care in the past, but if it happens again in the future, don't blame me for being impolite."
After speaking, Lin Chen turned around and entered the residential area.
"What should we do?"
"Deal with it as best you can, damn it."
"110,000, how am I going to explain it to my wife?"
Some reporters discussed in low voices.
They wanted to cry.
"Everyone, go and see quickly. The official website of the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation is online, and all the data is on it."
"The information on the website is true. I found my information on it, and the amount matches perfectly."
"The Qian Qian Charitable Foundation has actually helped so many people."
Many people discussed in one live-streaming room after another.
A large number of people flocked to the official website of the Qian Qian Charitable Foundation.
Fortunately, Lin Chen had anticipated this.
The official website had sufficient bandwidth, and the website was personally created by him. Although there were many people, the official website did not crash.
"How could this be?"
"Lin Chen, this bastard, is doing it on purpose."
"Damn you."
Many public intellectuals knew about this situation, and their faces were very ugly. They hurriedly deleted articles and posts.
Lin Chen had tens of millions of fans, and he had a lot of money. The Xu family had hundreds of billions of assets, and it would be easy to be criticized if Lin Chen didn't contribute a penny. They thought it was very safe.
They would just criticize him.
They didn't expect Lin Chen to secretly donate billion.
Now they seemed like clowns.
They could only quickly delete the articles and pretend they hadn't posted them.
But the internet has a memory, and someone had already taken screenshots.
The network department had even compiled a list of their names.
"Husband."
Lin Chen returned home, and Xu Mengyao was overjoyed.
The online atmosphere had finally turned around.
Lin Chen hugged Xu Mengyao and kissed her, smiling and saying, "Wife, I told you long ago that you don't need to worry."
"Yeah."
Xu Mengyao raised her head and主动送上了香吻.
