Chapter 786 - Charity Reward Missions

Translator: Thyaeria

When Su Tao left the Municipal Committee compound, many unfamiliar faces greeted him in the proces. All of them were wearing smiles on their faces, and it was only at this moment did Su Tao realise how famous he had become.

Not only have Su Tao been making the headlines, but he’s also the key figure involved in the TCM City Concept for Hanzhou City. Hence, there’s no way he could be low-profile even if he wanted to.

Driving his Volkswaggen CC to Three Flavour International’s building and arriving at Qihuang Charity Funds’ floor, the front receptionist was changed to a delicate looking staff. When she saw Su Tao, she immediately blushed as she greeted out in a soft voice, “President Su, nice to meet you!”

Waving his hand at the receptionist, Su Tao went in with a smile. When many of the employees saw Su Tao, they started talking among themselves which made Su Tao feel somewhat uncomfortable as if he had become the target of public criticism.

Walking over to Lu Shimiao’s office, he gently knocked on the door and saw Lu Shimiao discussing something with Qin Meimei on the round table. When the two ladies saw Su Tao, they were somewhat surprised.

“I never imagined that you’ve already learnt how to make inspections.” Qin Meimei smiled.

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Tao smiled in response, “Don’t put it that way. I have absolute trust in the two of you, and I’m only here to give the two of you a surprise.”

Getting Su Tao to sit down, Qin Meimei spoke out, “We’re currently discussing the assistance plan! After you have successfully resolved the Seven Mountain Virus previously, Qihuang Charity Funds have received many applications for medical assistance. Not only do we have requests coming in from the country, but we even have requests from overseas. Since you’re here, then you can help us filter the requests!”

Shaking his head, Su Tao smiled, “There’s no need to filter. Anyone who submits a request to us must be facing difficulty, and we must take them regardless if it’s small or big.”

Glancing at Lu Shimiao, Qin Meimei smiled bitterly, “Indeed, you understand him better! Fine, since our president has already made the decision, then we’ll go along with it!”

Qin Meimei was a businesswoman, while Lu Shimiao was a doctor. Hence, the two of them are bound to look at things differently. For Qin Meimei, she expects some reciprocation for everything, while Lu Shimiao doesn’t.

However, Qihuang Charity Funds needed someone like Qin Meimei because the foundation needed to operate, and it’s difficult for them to develop if they’re only giving one-sidedly. As time passes, the foundation is bound to fall into financial difficulty.

Not only do you need to have compassion for doing charity, but you also need the finance to support it.

Sitting on the round table as Su Tao looked through all the requests, he then marked out a price at the end of each request and looked at Lu Shimaio, “Use a rewarding model to issue the missions out on Three Flavour International’s mobile application. As long as anyone signs up for it and makes it through our audit, they will be able to obtain a monetary reward.”

Looking at the value, Qin Meimei stuck her tongue out and exclaimed, “¥1,000,000 for a medical assistance mission, isn’t it a little too ridiculous?”

“There’s bound to be bold people under heavy rewards! Furthermore, we can also consider this a form of advertisement for our mobile application. Through this event, we can let everyone in the TCM industry know about our mobile application, and it’s an indirect advertisement.” Su Tao smiled.

Nodding her head seriously, Qin Meimei smiled, “We were just discussing how to issue the missions, and how can we get people to accept them. This is a good idea, but it’s the same as flushing money down the toilet.”

However, Su Tao shook his head and replied, “Not everyone is willing to contribution unconditionally, and we can only try to influence others slowly; we can’t be too anxious in this process. When our activity grows into a certain scale, we will be able to attract more compassionate people to join us. This is only the baby step, so it’s inevitable for us to spend more money.”

“Well, you’re always right!” Qin Meimei smiled.

The Qihuang Charity Funds has ample funds right now, so they can still support these missions.

After a brief pondering, Su Tao added some requirements for people who signed up for the missions.

There must be a threshold even for charity. They’re to resolve trouble for others, and they can’t allow blacksheeps to mix into the group.

Qihuang Charity Funds is more efficient compared to other foundations due to the fact that Su Tao was the one making the decisions. Hence, the news was already announced in the afternoon, instantly causing an uproar in the nation’s TCM industry. In everyone’s view, charity work is all volunteer work, but the TCM Charity Rescue Team Recruiting released by Qihuang Charity Funds left everyone surprised. Because anyone who manages to get enlisted is entitled to an additional fixed salary. At the same time, you’re also rewarded with additional allowance if you participate.

For example, an underdeveloped county in Shanzhou Province requests for medical assistance, and if ten members manage to complete the mission within two months, the entire team will be entitled with a reward of ¥1,000,000, that’s equivalent to ¥100,000 each person. This is undoubtedly shocking and pleasant for the TCM industry.

Hence, the news spread like wildfire as more people started to download the Three Flavour International’s mobile application frantically.

After they downloaded the mobile application, they were once again, surprised to discover that not only can they accept missions from Qihuang Charity Funds through it, but they can also provide online outpatient service. Although the traffic isn’t large, it’s a potential source of advertisement for many people.

Participating in national and international rescue assistance are part of Qihuang Charity Funds’ foundation, and it’s also the first step for TCM to spread their influence in the globe, a deep setup by Su Tao.

Leaving Qihuang Charity Funds’ office, Su Tao drove his Volkswagen CC to Di Shiyuan’s residence. Feeling somewhat inappropriate to visit without any gifts, Su Tao brought some fruits from the stall under the building.

When he pressed on the doorbell, it was Zhang Fang who opened the door. When she saw Su Tao holding onto a fruit basket, she smiled, “It’s good that you’re here, but why are you bringing something along with you? Take it back with you later!”

“They’re just some fruits, and you don’t dare to accept it? I can only say that President Di is too honest.” Su Tao joked.

When Di Shiyuan heard st’s voice, he chuckled as he took a tangerine from the basket. After peeling it and placing it in his mouth, he smiled as he said to Zhang Fang, “You can be reassured to accept it since I’ve already eaten. Little Su isn’t an outsider, so will he report me? Furthermore, it’s just a basket of fruits, and what can it do even if someone reported me for it?”

As the two of them came to the study room and chatted about what happened recently, Di Shiyuan received a call as it took it. After he hung it up, he looked at Su Tao and smiled, “The car is already waiting downstairs, so let’s go together!”

Seeing that Di Shiyuan was being so mysterious, Su Tao knew that they’re going to meet someone important. He did not ask any questions as he followed Di Shiyuan down. When they came down the building, there was an Audi waiting for them as Su Tao glanced at the license plate. It should be a license plate from Qiongjin City as Su Tao guessed that he must be heading to the province to take a look at someone important.

He also has an identity as part of Hanzhou City's City Health Bureau's Specialist Team, so it can be considered part of his duty to service important people.

The vehicle drove for roughly an hour, turning into a courtyard with red brick walls. When Su Tao saw the armed police guarding the building, he instantly figured out that this must be the Provincial Committee compound.

A man in his mid-thirties was waiting outside the building. When he saw the vehicle coming to a stop, he smiled as he went up and shook hands with Di Shiyuan before turning to look at Su Tao and smiled, “This must be Mr. Su, right?”

“He’s the secretary of the Provincial Committee’s Secretary in Huainan Province, Qiao Yong!” Di Shiyuan explained.

It turns out that Su Tao had guessed correctly as he’s really going to treat someone important.

As Qiao Yong led the way, he explained, “I noticed that Mr. Yin has had serious coughs recently. I tried persuading him to visit the hospital, but he’s not willing to listen to my advises, so I can only give you a call to get Mr. Su’s help.”

Glancing at Su Tao, Di Shiyuan smiled, “Don’t worry about it. It won’t be anything difficult with his medical skills!”

As Su Tao gave a polite smile, Qiao Yong examined Su Tao secretly as the latter was way younger than he had imagined. Although Qiao Yong had heard many things about Su Tao, he was still worried if Su Tao could help.

Does he really have magical medical skills that could detect illnesses with his eyes alone?

However, Mr. Yin was more stubborn than he had imagined, so he could only try and get Su Tao’s help.

When Su Tao entered the office, he was different from what he had imagined. The entire office wasn’t as big as he had imagined. There’s a secretary desk outside with Mr. Yin’s office inside. If anyone would like to meet Mr. Yin, they would have to go through the secretary, Qiao Yong.

Knocking the door twice cautiously, Qiao Yong only opened the door when he received the instruction and entered. Roughly ten-odd minutes later, he came out with his brows knitted as he smiled bitterly, “I was given a scolding! But he’s willing to meet the two of you!”

“It looks like he’s not in a good mood, and we came at a bad time.” Di Shiyuan smiled.

When Qiao Yong opened the door, Di Shiyuan toughened his scalps as he went in. The moment they went in, they caught onto a faint scent as Su Tao’s glance fell into the corner. There was a bronze incense pot with smoke rising in spirals.

The design of the pot was simple, composed with two parts that can be opened from the top. The first half was formed with three lotus patterns, and every lotus has eleven petals and formed into a triangle shape. Every single petal has stems of different sizes, but they were extremely vivid. There’s an exquisite bird crowned at the top, with the lower half forming into a round pillar-shaped support.

Su Tao was calm as he followed behind Di Shiyuan and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties. This man had thick brows and a chiseled face as he gave off a natural prestige around him, which Su Tao could tell that Di Shiyuan was feeling somewhat nervous.

“I still have some documents to go through!” The Secretary of the Provincial Committee, Yin Kailang raised his head to glance at Su Tao before burrowing his head back down in his documents.

Yin Kailang wasn’t putting on airs purposely but he was genuinely busy with his work. Many things are waiting for his decision, and a slight pause would mean the entire operation of the Provincial Committee affected.

“Even if you’re busy with work, you still have to pay attention to your health!” Di Shiyuan smiled.

Acknowledging Di Shiyuan’s words, Yin Kailang continued looking through a few documents before he raised his head, stretching his neck as he looked at Su Tao once more, “You’re that famous young TCM specialist, Su Tao, right? How is it? Am I suffering from any terminal illnesses?”

“Mr. Yin, you’re more healthy than anyone else here, so how are you suffering from any terminal illnesses?” Su Tao smiled, shaking his head.

“Oh?” Yin Kailang was somewhat surprised upon hearing Su Tao’s words. He has been coughing for days, so how can he be considered healthy?

Is Su Tao making things up?

But according to what he know, Su Tao isn’t the kind to make things up despite his young age!
