293: Chapter 293: Divine Assist!
Big Winner!
Go on stage?
Wu Jie was taken aback.
The stage was crowded with people, while below it was completely empty.
Wealthy businessn, stars, celebrities…
Whether they were offering love or scrambling for cara attention.
There were really too many people on the stage, which, in turn, left many tables below empty.
So of those who remained motionless had already participated in the auction and indirectly donated love.
Others, like Xu Feng, Wang Cong, Mu En…
They seed to be there for the spectacle and hadn’t considered donating, sitting motionless at their original positions.
Of course, Mu En had been staring at Xu Feng and his family almost the entire evening since he arrived.
“This is the rhythm of causing trouble at any mont!”
Muttering to himself, Wu Jie stood up and walked onstage with Tang Xiao.
The guests at the front row who were the last to go onstage indeed had a different level of class.
A few million at the least, and tens of millions at most.
The amount of charity one person donated was more than the sum of more than a dozen stars and artists.
Wu Jie’s appearance on stage with Tang Xiao had a startling effect.
On the stage, people no longer jostled for positions.
Throughout the hall, many turned their heads in their direction.
Of course, the cara operators knew to give them a close-up shot without the director’s instruction.
Tang Xiao, appearing on the screen with a bare face, was not like those female stars decked out in heavy makeup and branded clothing.
Her clean and simple elegance couldn’t hide her city-overthrowing beauty!
Her simple attire couldn’t conceal her noble temperant!
Her stunning debut was enough to dazzle countless audiences.
Moreover, the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, while the man was unremarkable.
This type of couple combination was even more attractive; after all, even a red flower needs green leaves as a foil!
On this bustling stage, there were no shortage of stars and social elites.
Compared to their ostentatious adornnts, Tang Xiao’s fresh and ethereal appearance was especially pleasing to the eye.
Wu Jie felt he was wise to have had the system stop delivering good news in advance.
Otherwise, he was afraid his brain would crash!
After all, at this ti, the various envies, jealousies, and hatreds were as ceaseless as a torrential river.
“My God!
Are you still the President Tang I know?”
“This is the first ti I see you in a dress, and it’s unexpectedly stunning!”
The two hosts didn’t know whether they were sincere or just engaged in a business mutual praise.
In any case, their expressions were of surprise, extrely astonished.
Having already heard enough flattery and adulation for one evening, Tang Xiao was no longer surprised.
With a slight smile, she and Wu Jie, fingers tightly interlocked, approached the center of the stage.
“Today, there’s no individual donation, because not long ago, the two of us set up a charity fund!”
“We donated two billion for the aid of children with major illnesses, orphan relief, and assistance for the poor in their education…”
Tang Xiao spoke calmly, without affectation or boastfulness.
But her words were enough to shock the entire venue and the whole internet.
Two billion!!
Indeed, it was a sensational donation when they chose to give!
Compared with the earlier contributions of a few hundred thousand or million, the charity of Mr.
and Mrs.
Tang was genuinely a grand gesture.
Not to ntion the audience watching the live broadcast, many of those present at the event didn’t even have a net worth of two billion.
Leaving aside the celebrities and artists, even the wealthy businessn would find it hard to take out such a large sum of money for charity.
After all, though they appeared to have high net worth, much of it was illusory.
Holding large amounts of their own company’s stock, their net worth would soar with rising stock prices and shrink with falling ones.
Besides, businessn were particularly keen on diversified asset allocation, investing in stocks, bonds, and other areas like real estate, gold futures, etc., to hedge asset risks.
In short, it was truly not easy for them to take out two billion.
Unless…
One was like the Xu Family of Liuli City, involved in various businesses and with abundant cash flow.
But as the saying goes, the richer one is, the more tightfisted they may be.
Having donated several million extra, Xu Kuishan hated Wu Jie to the bone.
To expect the Xu Family of Liuli City to spend two billion on charity…
would be a pipe dream!
To want to do good things…
…
But is that possible?
The Xu Family of Liuli City was far from satisfied; they still aspired to invade Tianyuan, to take over Tianyuan and its surrounding counties, controlling the massive underground gray industry of two to three hundred million people.
So, when Tang Xiao ntioned she wanted to use two billion for charity, Xu Kuishan and others sneered.
“What an idiot, she actually thinks she has too much money!”
“Two billion!
That’s how much you have to sell to junkies to make that kind of money!”
“Only a righteous family like the Tianyuan Tang Family would think they have too much money and give it away to charity!”
“If there are bad guys, there naturally have to be good guys, otherwise society would descend into chaos!”
…
Xu Feng did not join the discussion; he had stopped playing mobile gas a long ti ago.
Turning slightly, he was ‘locking eyes’ with Mu En.
Both wanted to kill each other, but this was not the ti or place.
Since they couldn’t co to blows, they might as well see who had the fiercer look!
anwhile, on the stage.
After Tang Xiao made her shocking announcent about the charity fund, the host naturally lavished her with praise.
Because it was a ‘joint venture between husband and wife,’ Wu Jie finally got his chance to be interviewed as well.
Though he only faced a few extrely simple questions, having such an extended mont in the spotlight during a live broadcast was enough to make many behind him envious.
Moreover, marrying a rich and beautiful female president as his wife was enough to drive countless n mad with envy and jealousy.
And whether Tang Xiao intentionally let the whole world know she was married, or if she was giving Wu Jie face, was unclear.
In any case, they held hands the entire ti, staying close to each other.
Tang Xiao boldly showed off her wedding ring and announced their marriage next month.
She claid that establishing the charity fund was also to celebrate their marriage and that caring for children was a way to accumulate virtue through good deeds.
At this point, Wu Jie truly made countless hobody gars, keyboard warriors, and losers insanely jealous.
The big winner of life indeed!
The godsend assist from Tang Xiao probably brought him countless points of energy.
Wu Jie didn’t have ti to check because, after the interview ended, it was imdiately ti for the closing segnt, the group photo!
Those who had originally tried all sorts of ans to compete for the center position all dared not move, willingly giving up the best, central spots.
Amidst the flashing lights.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, hand in hand, stood in the pri spot, truly enjoying the feeling of ‘debuting from the center position.’
After the group photo, the banquet approached its conclusion.
Entrepreneurs and social elites returned to their respective seats.
The invited celebrities had one last chance to appear together for a group song.
But Wu Jie no longer cared about how they sang or who hogged the cara.
Leading Tang Xiao down the stage, Wu Jie had just sat down when he noticed from the corner of his eye that Mu En had left the scene.
The last to arrive, he was the first to stand up and leave.
At this mont.
How could Xu Kuishan and the others sit still?
They imdiately rose quietly and left in a hurry, almost breaking into a run to chase after him.
“Looking at this, they seem determined to have a deadly showdown today!” Tang Xiao muttered under her breath.
By this ti, the grand finale of the star-studded group song on stage had ended.
The host excitedly announced the total amount of charity funds raised that evening, and the big screen displayed the donors’ nas and the amounts they gave.
Although Tang Xiao and her husband Wu Jie hadn’t appeared on stage, just before the live broadcast ended, a large red ‘xi’ character was featured prominently.
Below were two lines of text:
“Congratulations to the Tianyuan Benevolent Charity Fund on its establishnt!”
“Best wishes to Ms.
Tang Xiao and Mr.
Wu Jie on your wedding!”
A charitable act of two billion deserved such an impact!
After the hosts loudly read the ssage, they bowed to thank all the generous donors and announced the official close of this charity evening.
The live broadcast ended!
In an instant, the venue beca noisy.
So people got up to leave, others chatted in small groups, while so exchanged pleasantries and contact information…
As the focal point, Tang Xiao was quickly surrounded by many people who ca up to complint her and congratulate her on her marriage.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone rrily proceeded to the banquet hall on the second floor, laughing and talking along the way.
How could a charity evening be without a lavish banquet?
Once upstairs, everyone started to take their seats and eat.
However, Wu Jie’s attention was quickly drawn to one particular table.
Mu En was concentrating solely on his food without distractions, while Xu Kuishan and others sat beside him, not touching their chopsticks.
Each had a varied gaze, all fixated on him.
Xu Feng looked indifferent, toying with a silver fork, the cold light of which was all too apparent.
This table seed ready to erupt into a life-or-death battle at any mont…
