Chapter 207: Chapter 207-yan Qingcheng donates 310 million yuan
Yan XI said, “But it’s not enough for her to enter under my name.”
“Then you’ll have to give your uncle Huo a good scolding. This is all his doing. Letting him in is the only way he’ll have a chance to scam you.”
Li Weiran walked over with a smile. Huo Xiao followed behind her.
The other party was a little helpless. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I Won’t let anyone take advantage of me in the future.”She paused and added, “Even if you give money, it won’t work.”
“That’s more like it,”Li Weiran said
He handed a card to Yan XI. “Here, the compensation and pocket money your uncle Huo gave you isn’t much. It’s just a few million.”
Yan Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after figuring out what had happened. “You don’t have to give me money. I really don’t need money to spend.”
“Just take it,”Li Weiran said. “This is a small token of appreciation from your uncle Huo. Let him learn his lesson.”
In the end, the money was exchanged from Huo Ziang at the same price... but now Huo Xiao felt that he had lost out. If he had known that Huo Ziang would bring that imposter in, he would have directly asked for 100 million.
If the other party felt that he couldn’t afford it, he shouldn’t have forced himself to be a hero and save the damsel in distress.
Yan Xi thought about it and said, “Then how about this? I’ll donate to the Spring Bud charity foundation in Uncle Huo’s name. I hope this money can bring more hope to the children in the mountains.”
She had bid for three children’s handicrafts during the charity auction. These items would only be auctioned off for tens of thousands of dollars in the previous years’auctions. After all, they were not worth much.
However, Yan Xi insisted on raising the bid to five million. She liked one of the paintings very much and it was very memorable to her.
The theme of the painting was “Hope”. It was a scene of a group of people watching the sunrise.
Yan Xi could tell at a glance that the lady who was shrouded in the same radiance was her mother, Yan Qingcheng.
That was when she was in her teens, she followed her mother to visit the mountains and stayed in the farmhouse at night. That family was tortured by illness and poverty to the point where there was no hope.
But now, the little girl had walked out of the mountains, went to school and had a new look. She was active and worked hard to live.
This proved that her mother’s and her own efforts had not been in vain, and she hoped for endless life.

Backstage, when the host looked at the donation list, she suddenly covered her mouth in surprise. It could be said that her pupils were shocked.
“Sister Liang... This Yan Qingcheng donated 300 million, which far surpasses the ji qingsong couple’s 150 million.”
According to tradition, during the final thank-you session, the person with the most donations and the most influence would be invited to the stage to give a speech and interact with each other.
In previous years, Ji Qingsong had always been the one to speak on the stage. This was the first time that the amount of donations had exceeded ji Qingsong and his wife... and it had even exceeded by so much.
The host was the first to suspect that it was Yan Yunzhi who had donated.
Yan Qingcheng had passed away from illness for many years. Although the Yan family made donations every year, it was all in the name of the Yan family. After all, the Yan family had their own independently operated charitable foundation. Every year, they spent one billion dollars on education, medical care, and environmental protection, there was no need to be in the limelight at the Spring Festival Gala.
This time, the Yan Corporation also donated one hundred million, which was more than in previous years, so it was unlikely that it was the Yan family.
“Could it be the Xi family’s donation?”The host guessed. He flipped through the list, but he did not see Xi Jingxing’s name.
Editor-in-chief Liang shook his head. “No.”
The host suddenly paused and looked at the donation list in surprise. After a long while, he slowly came back to his senses. “Mr. XI donated 800,000 this year.”
The few people present were a little surprised and could not believe it.
Of course, everyone did not complain about Xi Jingxing’s small donation. There was no difference in the size of his love. This was originally his personal freedom.
However, Xi Jingxing had always been a loving wife. Every year, he was active in the Spring Bud Charity Gala. Every year, he donated 20 million yuan. His performance among the wealthy families in Beiqiao city was quite eye-catching, and the organizers were willing to support him.
However, it had suddenly shrunk by so much. Everyone was still a little confused. This time, he was on par with them, who were high-level workers.
Editor-in-chief Liang said, “Alright, let’s stop discussing. No matter what, this is someone else’s good deed. We shouldn’t judge people by their standards.”
After a pause, she said to the host, “Of course, Yan Qingcheng can’t come to the venue to give a speech... this money should be donated by her daughter, Yan Xi. Let’s invite Yan Xi and Mr. Ji to come up and speak. I believe Mr. Ji and Yan Xi won’t mind.”
Of course, she arranged it this way because she was confident. Otherwise, she would be offending someone.
She had noticed before that Ji Qingsong, Yan XI, and the group of young people were chatting happily. It could be seen that Ji Qingsong and his wife admired this junior very much.
When Yan XI heard that the host had invited her and Ji Qingsong to come up to the stage to give a speech together, she was not surprised at all.
What surprised her was the amount of donations. She had clearly only donated 200 million, so where did the extra 100 million come from?
But no matter what, she had donated 300 million in her own name, which had set a new record for the highest amount of donations in the history of the Spring Bud Charity Gala.
Everyone looked at the person on the stage in shock. Was this Yan Qingcheng’s daughter?
No wonder the title of the number one socialite in Beiqiao city had been spread a few years ago. Her temperament and manners were indeed the epitome of a well-bred lady. She was not suppressed at all when standing next to a big shot like Ji Qingsong. Instead, they complemented each other perfectly.
Her appearance was like the ceiling of her beauty. This was too beautiful. For some reason, she felt like she had been hit in the heart.
Many of the older people could not help but recall the elegant demeanor of Yan Qingcheng at that time.
It was true that the blue surpassed the blue.
Yan Xiqian let Ji Qingsong speak first before he took the microphone, his gaze was firm and his smile was gentle. “Hello, everyone. I Am Yan Qingcheng’s daughter, Yan Xi. Someone once asked me what my original purpose of doing charity was. Actually, this had to start with my great-grandfather. My Great-grandfather was a people’s volunteer army. He had experienced...”
Because he had experienced war and chaos, he understood that today’s happy life was not easy to come by.
If you were poor, you had to be good. If you were rich, you had to help the world. This was also the Yan family’s motto.
His grandfather and mother had devoted themselves to charity in the hope that they could truly give back to society and benefit the disadvantaged groups.
After all, the reason why the Yan group could develop and grow was because they had enjoyed the dividends of the era of peace. That was why they should maintain a humble and respectful attitude.
It was not because they would become arrogant and arrogant once they had money. It would be truly suicidal if they separated themselves from the people.
After Yan Xi finished speaking briefly, waves of warm applause sounded from below.
The host was also a little surprised. At the same time, he was also a little emotional. As expected of the granddaughter that elder Yan had personally taught.
Her character and breadth of mind were admirable. Especially since the other party was only seventeen or eighteen years old... in short, it was very rare.
Yan Xi was in the limelight this night. She had become the center of attention. Even after the party ended, people kept coming up to greet her.
Xi Lulong was so angry that her heart almost stopped. She said to XI jing unhappily, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you letting a child like her spend money so recklessly?”
In her opinion, the assets left behind by Yan Qingcheng belonged to the Xi family!
