Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 396 Redemption of Two Billion



All the reporters were looking at Xu Yang, eager to see how much he would donate.

Xu Yang smiled slightly, "Since Mr. Duan donated twenty million, I'll also donate twenty million. Let me clarify that I am donating twenty million in cash, not substituting company goods. I think that's somewhat improper. Cash is better; you can use it however you want. With goods, there's less flexibility.

Mr. Duan, the food you donate, like pork, chicken, beef, and such, while it can make life better for those in need, I believe they would prefer to have those goods converted into cash to do something or buy something urgently needed."

This statement effectively belittled Duan Shaohui's goods donation.

Actually, this was very inappropriate.

After all, donations, whether in cash or goods, are a form of goodwill.

But Xu Yang was now targeting Duan Shaohui, so he wasn't concerned with such niceties.

Especially since Duan Shaohui's grandfather was a villain who swindled the finances of their hometown, Cang County, leaving countless farmers destitute and dead.

Moreover, he had investigated Duan Shaohui and discovered that the man had committed quite a few misdeeds.

For such a person, courtesy was unnecessary.

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Duan Shaohui's face immediately darkened.

He had donated two million in cash, plus eighteen million worth of goods.

It was originally a very generous donation.

But with Xu Yang's maneuver, by comparison, he came off second best.

How would the reporters write the news?

They would praise him, sure, but the focus would undoubtedly be on Xu Yang.

He'd ended up merely setting off Xu Yang's generosity.

People would only remember Xu Yang, not him.

This Xu Yang was truly detestable!

Duan Shaohui cursed Xu Yang's ancestors eighteen generations back in his mind, then put on a smile, "President Xu, you say you're donating twenty million in cash, but I don't believe you unless you prove it to us."

No matter what, they'd get Xu Yang to donate first.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

All eyes were on Xu Yang.

Sure, you talk a good game, but who knows whether you'll actually donate.

Xu Yang smiled slightly and said to Fang Bingqing not far away, "Miss Fang, you're in charge of collecting donations, right? Please provide me with the account details, and I'll transfer the twenty million right now."

"All right." Fang Bingqing nodded and approached with the POS machine, giving Xu Yang the account details.

Xu Yang operated on his mobile banking app for a moment, then said, "The money should have been transferred. You can check it now."

Fang Bingqing immediately checked the account and found indeed there was an additional donation of twenty million, with the remark stating it was Xu Yang's personal contribution. She smiled and said, "The donation has been received. On behalf of the needy in the three counties, I thank you."

"It's the least I can do," Xu Yang chuckled, and his gaze fell back on Duan Shaohui, "Mr. Duan, I have donated already. It's time for you to donate the two million in cash you mentioned, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Duan Shaohui looked at Xu Yang as if he could kill.

He had been hoping to just get through the event and then find an excuse to donate less afterward.

Xu Yang was now pressing him to make the donation.

With goods, you can find ways to delay, but cash deposit delays aren't an option.

Didn't bring that much money?

Didn't bring that much, then why did you even shout out that amount?

It could be said that unless he donated two million in cash, it would certainly be perceived that he didn't want to make the donation.

His previous performance would not only have no positive effect but would also be viewed as a negative example, undoubtedly tarnishing his reputation.

Xu Yang continued, "Mr. Duan, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that? I've already donated twenty million. Asking you to now honor your pledge of two million in cash shouldn't be an issue, right? Or are you implying that all you said before was just empty talk, intended to deceive us, the reporters, and the public?"

This hat was just too big for Duan Shaohui to bear.

If he didn't donate two million now, his grandfather's company would surely face a loss of reputation, and the losses would certainly exceed two million.

With murderous eyes, he glared fiercely at Xu Yang and snorted, "Who said I'm not donating? I'm donating right now—two million in cash upfront. As soon as I get back, I'll arrange for the company to organize the goods and promptly have someone prepare food worth eighteen million to be sent to the destination."

Having said that, he went to swipe his card for two million.

As he swiped the card, his heart bled.

This was, after all, two million.

A situation that could have been resolved with just two hundred thousand was now unresolved even with two million.

And he had to compensate with goods worth eighteen million.

"Thank you both for your generous donations," Fang Bingqing said with a smile.

She was quite pleased with their squabble.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have received such a large amount in donations.

Duan Shaohui laughed carelessly, "Of course, isn't that why we're here—to do charity?"

Afterwards, he walked up to Xu Yang, slung an arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, let's go have a chat and share our experiences in charity work."

With those words, he pulled Xu Yang into another room.

Once the door was closed, Duan Shaohui's expression darkened, "Xu Yang, we're from the same hometown after all, and I haven't offended you. Why are you doing this to me?"

Xu Yang smiled, "You call this doing you? That was just an appetizer."

Duan Shaohui frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xu Yang smiled and said, "What I mean is, your donation of two million in cash and eighteen million in goods is far from enough. Have your grandfather donate twenty billion in cash or assets to the charity fund managed by the county government of Cang County, and we'll consider this matter settled."

"Twenty billion?" Duan Shaohui laughed angrily, "Xu Yang, are you out of your mind? Why should my grandfather donate twenty billion?"

Xu Yang said, "Because of your grandfather's misdeeds in Cang County in the past. Don't say you don't know what your grandfather did there. He drained Cang County's finances dry, and countless peasants' families were destroyed. That twenty billion is your grandfather's atonement."

Duan Shaohui's face turned pale.

He was naturally aware of his grandfather's situation.

Now that Xu Yang had brought it up, Duan Shaohui really didn't know how to retaliate.

At that moment, the door opened, and Tang Jinglong walked in.

Xu Yang was surprised and didn't know why Tang Jinglong had come in.

"Brother Long," Seeing Tang Jinglong, Duan Shaohui felt as if he had seen a savior.

Tang Jinglong nodded to Duan Shaohui and then turned to Xu Yang, "Mr. Xu, could you give me some face and stop targeting Shao Hui?"

Xu Yang frowned, "Mr. Tang, didn't you say you wouldn't get involved in this matter?"

Tang Jinglong's sudden intervention made it difficult for him.

He wasn't afraid of Tang Jinglong.

While he was researching information on Duan Shaohui, he had come across some information about Tang Jinglong, which made him think less of Tang Jinglong.

Tang Jinglong seemed refined and gentle on the outside—but that was just a facade.

Beneath that exterior, he had done many things that Xu Yang disapproved of.

As long as Tang Jinglong didn't bother him, he couldn't be bothered to care too much about his affairs.

Moreover, he was expecting Tang Jinglong's girlfriend, Fang Bingqing, to go save Zhao Yuxin, and he was even less likely to deal with Tang Jinglong's messy issues.

But now that Tang Jinglong had gotten involved again, what exactly did he mean by it?
