"I'm really impressed..." Zhan Ruoqing complained, "In that case, it's better to let her start dating quickly. Then she won't have the energy to keep an eye on you!"
"That's not necessarily true," Ye Zhi sighed, "At that time, she really won't have the mind to watch me, but she will definitely try her best to help Ou Minghan deal with me."
Zhan Ruoqing: "...Are they two targeting you?"
"Yes," Ye Zhi chuckled, "The feud between me and them has long been deep, an irreconcilable conflict. Let's not talk about this. What are the online comments about the charity matter?"
"Not very optimistic," Zhan Ruoqing frowned, "This incident has had a considerable impact on Taoxun's image. Many people say they didn't expect Taoxun, after earning so much money, wouldn't be willing to donate even a penny to charity. It seems Taoxun is no different from other companies.
Moreover, some people online are deliberately stirring up trouble, saying that even if Taoxun donates now, it's not out of genuine charity but just to respond to public opinion and salvage the company's image. Ye Zhi, this is quite unfavorable for Taoxun right now, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Is that so..." Ye Zhi pondered, "Then this timing is quite good."
"Ah?" Zhan Ruoqing was bewildered.
"Ruoqing, Taoxun is about to launch a public welfare project for everyone. Would you like to join?"
Then, Ye Zhi explained the content of the project to Zhan Ruoqing in detail.
Ye Zhi continued, "With the assistance of your Zhiwei, this project can be more comprehensive and help more people in need."
"That's true..." Zhan Ruoqing came to her senses, "Your project is quite good, but the prerequisite for its implementation is for Taoxun to regain its image and public trust! Otherwise, someone will definitely question your motives..."
"As for that, don't worry, I'll handle it." Ye Zhi smiled slightly.
Hearing her say this, Zhan Ruoqing was relieved. If Ye Zhi said so, she must have a way.
She said crisply, "Okay! Then Zhiwei will also participate in this project!"
Soon, Taoxun's official Weibo released a new announcement, listing the schools that Taoxun's breakfast and student aid projects had helped since the Spring Festival and the amounts donated. This list was so detailed that every expenditure could be clearly checked.
Taoxun also directly issued a statement welcoming supervision from all sectors of society. If anyone found any falsification in these public welfare undertakings or any situation where money could not reach the beneficiaries, Taoxun would deal with it seriously.
As soon as this announcement was released, there was an uproar online.
【Taoxun has been doing public welfare since the beginning of the year?! And such a large expenditure, not only persisting every month but also increasing in amount! Oh my god, Taoxun, how many more surprises do I not know about you?】
【What about those who said that President Ye lost her conscience after making money? Why aren't they speaking now? Who says donating to charity organizations is the only way to do charity? What are some charity organizations like now, don't you have any idea? President Ye just doesn't trust you charity departments, so she intends to do it herself, what's the problem with that?】
【President Ye, I'm sorry, I admit I spoke a bit too loudly just now. Other charity organizations should learn from this and should all be like Taoxun, with every expenditure clear and transparent!】
...
This matter directly reversed the public opinion of Taoxun and Ye Zhi. No amount of辩解 could be more powerful than direct evidence.
Of course, there were still some people who wanted to stir up trouble, but they were all retorted. Those discordant voices quickly disappeared into the crowd.
However, those who discovered they had been played certainly couldn't let it go. And the charity organization that initially stirred up trouble naturally bore the public's wrath.
Suddenly, many people flocked to the official Weibo of that charity organization, demanding that they, like Taoxun, publicly disclose the whereabouts of the donations.
Seeing that the situation had escalated and was backfiring, the charity organization finally panicked.
They originally intended to play dead and avoid this disaster, but they didn't expect someone to find the organization's official website and dig up some of their previous public welfare projects.
However, there were some incredible projects among them, such as helping certain beneficiaries buy cars, buy cameras, and so on.
This caused an uproar. They all thought that the money donated to charity organizations should be used for the survival or education of critically ill patients or people in impoverished areas, but they didn't expect it to be used to buy enjoyment items for some people!
The charity organization reacted quickly, rapidly deleting the disclosed content on the webpage.
But this only made netizens even more furious. They continued to dig deeper and unearthed a list of the organization's internal overhead expenses.
This expense list was equally outrageous. The organization's computers were all thirty to forty thousand yuan each, desks and chairs were all over a thousand, and they were replaced every year. As for other things, they were all equally absurd.
The public became even more furious. This was not doing charity at all; it was clearly amassing wealth in the name of charity!
The public was outraged, and many even directly contacted the civil affairs department, continuously writing investigation reports, asking the civil affairs department to investigate.
Seeing that the matter had reached this point, the charity organization completely panicked.
What was their situation, didn't they know themselves?
The person in charge who had previously accepted Cen Ya's donation immediately called Lin Shuangshuang in a panic.
"Miss Lin, what should we do now?"
Lin Shuangshuang was almost angered to death by these pig teammates. She angrily cursed, "How dare you ask me what to do?! I told you before, don't provoke Taoxun, don't provoke Ye Zhi, why didn't you listen?!"
"But Cen Ya had requirements..."
Lin Shuangshuang interrupted her unhappily, "Don't use her as a shield! I've already reminded you, just find a small forum with few people, post a thread, and find a group of internet trolls to curse Ye Zhi, and do some superficial work to appease Cen Ya!
But you insisted on making such a big deal, buying hype everywhere, as if afraid others didn't know you had a feud with Taoxun! Isn't this because you went to Taoxun several times and didn't get the money, so you wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge on Ye Zhi? Now it's all good, just wait to bear Taoxun's wrath! I can't help you!"
"Miss Lin, you can't abandon me!" The person in charge panicked, "Don't forget, I got half of the fifty million that Cen Ya donated! If this matter gets out, you won't be well off either!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What money? How come I don't know?" Lin Shuangshuang sneered, "I warn you, don't try to slander me, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
After saying that, Lin Shuangshuang hung up the phone directly.
That money had already been transferred through several channels to her hands, and she hadn't left any evidence, so she wasn't afraid.
However, as soon as she hung up the phone, Cen Ya called.
