"I’m not interested in money."
Shen Yu said.
Lin Nianhe shuddered, rubbing her arms as she replied, "Your joke isn’t funny at all."
Shen Yu clicked her tongue gently, sipping the jasmine tea Lin Nianhe had brought from Beijing, saying, "You’ve seen it these past few days, haven’t you? My mothers have a lot of free ti."
Lin Nianhe shuddered again, "I’ll accept however much money you want to give , just don’t scare anymore, I’m faint-hearted."
She now didn’t even dare to walk past the entrance of the Shen Family ho!
For fear of being seen by Fifth Madam and her cramming several n into her life again.
Shen Yu waved her hand, signaling Lin Nianhe to relax, and continued, "What I an is, they’re getting too lonely at ho, do you have any projects that won’t run at a loss, to give them sothing to do?"
Lin Nianhe really wanted to ask, why not just distribute ten bag-carriers to each of the four grandmas instead?
She didn’t dare to make such a presumptuous suggestion.
"What do they usually do?" Lin Nianhe asked casually.
This idea sounded good, much better than her directly taking the money.
"Shopping, buying things, playing cards." There was a touch of sadness in Shen Yu’s eyes.
Lin Nianhe instantly understood.
These madams were big spenders, and their spending was never with the intent of getting any return.
Lin Nianhe sighed helplessly.
At the sa age, so people are freely spending heaps of money every day, while others are exhausting themselves educating young minds...
Hm... Huh?
As the image of Principal Mother flashed through her mind, Lin Nianhe instantly knew what she could get the four wealthy madams to do.
"Why not have them represent the Shen Family in doing charity work?" Lin Nianhe’s eyes shone slightly, "You just need to establish a charitable foundation, send out a trusted accounting team from the Shen Family, and let the four madams be in charge of spending the funds."
Shen Yu paused and straightened up, looking at Lin Nianhe, "Go on."
"The stance and position of the Shen Family have been very clear, and up to now, I haven’t seen anyone from the other three families either, so undoubtedly, the Shen Family will face setbacks in their businesses in the near future."
After the flash of inspiration, Lin Nianhe’s thoughts beca clearer.
"But business is done with people, and as long as you have a good enough reputation, the people who support you will naturally increase."
"You could set up schools or provide dical assistance—help people who suffer from severe illnesses but cannot afford the dical expenses. You could offer one-on-one donations directly. With the influence of the Shen Family, it wouldn’t be difficult to get to know these matters in hospitals, right? Or organizing free dical consultations and free dicine distribution events could work too."
Shen Yu nodded slowly, hitting the nail on the head, "The forr has controllable investnts, but the latter is limitless, and there could be the risk of being deceived."
"Yes," Lin Nianhe nodded, "but the latter has more direct influence, the benefits and drawbacks of this need to be weighed by you and Elder Shen."
"Mhm."
Shen Yu pondered, her brain probably working at three tis the speed of Shen Hongzun, Sie Yufei, and Ji Mingyi combined.
Lin Nianhe adjusted her sitting posture, hiding her little fox tail, and casually ntioned, "I also donated to a school when I went to the countryside before, and Niuwa, who you t at the Spring Trade Fair, he is a student from that school. He even said he wanted to attend Peking University and be my junior."
Shen Yu looked at Lin Nianhe thoughtfully, "I’ll discuss it with Daddy."
"Good." Lin Nianhe tily stopped speaking and circled back to the topic of the madams, "Won have a more amiable presence. If they were to represent the Shen Family and interact with the children, the effect would be better."
"Indeed." Shen Yu’s heartbeat increased slightly, and he could already see the future.
Investing in a school, or providing aid to impoverished college students, would definitely not yield any returns in the short term.
But those students will grow up, graduate, and may end up working for the Shen Family; their families may appreciate the kindness of the Shen Family and choose their products when faced with similar needs.
And then there are those reasons that are inconvenient to state openly.
Shen Yu foresaw all of them, which is why he was sowhat anxious to discuss the feasibility with his father in more detail.
Lin Nianhe didn’t care about Shen Yu’s motives.
As long as the outco was good, as long as the people who needed help really got it, what his motives were or what demands he fulfilled wasn’t that important.
Lin Nianhe noticed Shen Yu’s mood and, after exchanging a few casual pleasantries, took his leave.
Shen Yu escorted her out and then imdiately drove ho.
After hearing Shen Yu’s words, Elder Shen furrowed his brow in thought for a mont, then with the sharp gaze of a hawk, pierced right to the heart of the matter: "Miss Lin wants us to build a school across the bay... Whether it’s her intention or soone else’s, in the end, there’s a clear path ahead."
Shen Yu forced a smile: "Daddy, she didn’t say anything of the sort."
"Oh?"
"Not a single leak." Shen Yu pressed at his brow, "You’ve had little interaction with her and don’t quite understand; she’s the type to... take all the benefits with no commitnt, and in the end, we still have to thank her."
Elder Shen understood his son. His son was definitely not the type to complain at the slightest difficulty.
To be the subject of such distressed complaints from him, it could only an Lin Nianhe’s speech was exceedingly ticulous.
Elder Shen thought it over and felt relieved: "The kids from the compound, having been imrsed from childhood, are not ordinary. We cannot treat her as a naive youngster like Ah Zun."
"Ah Zun? He’d be sold by her and still help count her money." Shen Yu shook his head helplessly, "Don’t forget how our family beca the first client of Lan County Textile Factory."
Elder Shen’s hand paused slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face as well.
He closed his eyes in contemplation for a good while, stretching ti into silence.
After so ti, he said: "We can do it. Regardless of whose idea it is, helping others is always good."
"Good, then I’ll start preparing right away."
"Mm."
Elder Shen paused for a mont, then asked: "Miss Lin hasn’t t with those few families yet?"
"That’s right, she’s been avoiding them almost daily, but I think she’ll be caught soon."
Elder Shen fell silent again for a while, then said: "Then prepare a gathering. Miss Lin has already offered us an opportunity, we must catch it."
"Okay."
Shen Yu responded and then left. Elder Shen leaned back in his recliner, his mouth slowly curling into a smile, deepening the wrinkles on his face.
He stroked his cane, murmuring softly: "Insightful..."
He’d t many people in his lifeti, but this young lady was the most astonishing.
Only twenty years old, yet she could already arm wrestle with Shen Yu.
So inscrutable, so inscrutable...
Shen Yu had no interest in pondering these things; he had two tasks at hand—to organize a charitable foundation and to plan a banquet.
After briefly pondering, he passed the latter task to Shen Hongzun.
Shen Hongzun was the expert in these socializing and entertaining matters, entrusting him would certainly be the right choice.
In fact, Shen Hongzun had not the slightest interest in such family gatherings, but when he heard it was to introduce Lin Nianhe to the other three families, he finally found his motivation.
"Ah He, I talked with three director friends, and we’ve prepared for you the most dazzling entrance—when the ti cos, you’ll walk down the staircase with petals scattered around..."
Lin Nianhe: "Be honest, is this actually the wedding venue Fifth Grandma prepared for ?"
