319 Chairman
Meanwhile, at the banquet, the rich people began to donate non-stop.
Everyone was also very enthusiastic as they kept sneaking glances at Liu Yanran.
This donation was actually very particular.
At the venue, with the Dinglong Corporation taking the lead, everyone was also calculating how much the Dinglong Corporation planned to donate.
Ten million?
Twenty million?
If they donated too little, they were afraid that people would think that they were petty. However, if they donated too much, they were worried that they would suppress the limelight of the Dinglong Corporation and make the Dinglong Corporation unhappy.
Liu Yun and a group of young masters and young ladies also came. Seeing that Liu Yanran had not made a move, they asked curiously, âDirector Liu, arenât you representing Brother Ye in donating some money?â
The other young masters and young ladies were also guessing how much Brother Ye would donate. They were discussing this topic excitedly.
âIf itâs Brother Ye, it should at least be 10 million yuan, right? Yes, I guess Brother Ye will take out at least 20 million yuan!â
âNo, no, no. Brother Ye wonât be so petty. I think it should be 30 million!â
âIs there no higher bid?â Liu Yun was like an auctioneer at an auction. He presided over everything and mobilized the atmosphere at the event location. Of course, it was only a joke. âThirty million, going once! Thirty million, going twice! Going thriceâ¦â
Everyoneâs interest was piqued by his question, and the number they guessed increased.
âThirty-five million!â âThirty-seven million!â
âForty million!â
âFifty million!â Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted an unbelievable number.
Everyone looked at the young master who shouted this number and said, âYoung Master Liu! Even if itâs not your familyâs money and youâre not the one donating, you canât shout randomly! Fifty million? How is that possible?!â
Someone mocked Young Master Liu, who had shouted 50 million.
However, this was just the young masters and young ladies playing around. No one took it seriously.
Young Master Liu also scratched his head and said, âDamn, I was too anxious! Forty-five million it is.â
Even if it was a wild guess, it was too much for the estimate to reach 50 million.
After a while, Liu Yun and the others looked at Liu Yanran curiously, wondering how much Brother Ye would donate.
Then, Liu Yanran was even more embarrassed.
How could she be rich? Ye Xuan didnât tell her either. This time, she was too helpless.
Just as she was about to whisper to Liu Yun, Liu Yun suddenly put his finger to his mouth and hushed her. âWait, Director Liu, thereâs no point in secretly telling me the answer now. Iâd better wait patiently until the moment the answer is revealed!â
Liu Yanran was speechless. Who should she talk to about this?
At the side, many high-ranking officials and nobles looked at her. After all, she was here on behalf of Ye Xuan and the Dinglong Corporation. She must have a lot of money, but now that she did not make a move, they began to wonder.
They looked at Liu Yanran with a burning gaze.
Then, they began to whisper.
âHey, how much do you think the Dinglong Corporation will donate? Why arenât they donating now?â
âMaybe itâs not time yet. Theyâre going to donate at least 30 million yuan, right? Dinglong is rich and wants to be the finale. Canât they do that? Look at the stage now. The big shots who have the ability to donate more than 10 million yuan havenât made a move yet. The atmosphere hasnât even heated up. How can we expect the protagonist to appear casually? I think itâs still early.â
âThatâs true. Director Liu is really patient. The person who donated nine million just now didnât force her out. Looks like sheâs determined to get first place⦠Look! A big boss has made a move! Someone has donated 12 million!â
âIt looks like Dinglong is going to attack soon! Letâs wait and see!â
âTwelve million!â âFifteen million!â
âThe Shengtian Corporation will donate 20 million!â
There was a commotion, but everyone did not look at President Wang of the Shengtian Corporation. Instead, they looked at Liu Yanran.
At this point in the fund-raising segment, the supervisor walked onto the stage and said, âThank you for everyoneâs support! This charity banquet was very successful! So far, we have collected 86,790,000 yuan and various supplies! Thank you again! The banquet is coming to an end. I hope everyone can continue to enjoy this banquet!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon hearing the supervisorâs words, everyone was stunned. It was almost over. Why hadnât Liu Yanran expressed anything?
Although Liu Yanran still looked calm on the surface, her heart was already wavering.
For the first time in her life, she really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
It was so awkward.
Just as Liu Yanran was thinking about how to smooth things over, Liu Yunâs phone rang.
Then, Liu Yun picked up the phone and said, âHello? Brother Ye?! Youâre here?⦠Alright, alright, Iâll go to the roof immediately.â
Liu Yanran was stunned. Was Chairman Ye here?
Then, Liu Yun left the venue and headed for the top floor. The group of young masters and young ladies followed.
After all, Liu Yanran was still at the banquet. Without Ye Xuanâs instructions, she couldnât leave the venue casually, so she sat where she was and pretended to be calm.
At this moment, Liu Yanranâs back was already drenched in sweat. Fortunately, there was a fluffy decoration on the back of the gown that more or less covered the traces of sweat.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan was here and Liu Yanran heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that a large number of people had suddenly left, many people at the event location were at a loss and began to discuss. âWhatâs going on?â
No one could give an answer no matter how they asked until a CEO came out and said, âI just received news that Chairman Ye is coming, so they all went to the rooftop to welcome him.â
Had they gone to the rooftop to welcome him?
Why did they go to the rooftop? Shouldnât Chairman Ye have come by car?
Then, a thought appeared in their minds. Could it be?
Therefore, after a commotion in the crowd, another group of people rushed to the top floor to watch the commotion.
...
Seeing that there were not many people left in the venue and that the charity banquet had been suspended, Liu Yanran naturally had no reason to stay behind. Hence, she followed them up to the rooftop to welcome Ye Xuan.
At this moment, there were already many people standing on the rooftop.
As there were not many lights on the top floor, it was a little dark. Many people took out their phones to illuminate their surroundings.
After a while, an armed helicopter flew straight over and landed.
Everyone was also stunned.
Ye Xuan jumped down from the helicopter and landed on the landing pad on the rooftop.
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan and thought to themselves, âIs this Chairman Ye?â
Of course, there were also people who had never seen Ye Xuan before who asked curiously, âWhy did a child come down?â
At this moment, a CEO beside him immediately reprimanded him. âDonât spout nonsense. This is Chairman Ye, the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation.â
âHuh?â
...
The people who saw Ye Xuan for the first time were also shocked. They felt that their understanding of this world had been impacted.
There were also some who stood far away and couldnât see Ye Xuan, who was surrounded by the crowd. They could only take out their phones and desperately take photos of the helicopter.
