Before the donation, Clara Li and her assistant had already analyzed it. The four families would possibly donate fifty or sixty million.
She had donated fifty million to see if she could compare with the four families. Even if the donation was not as much as that of the four families, it was the highest among the rest.
To her surprise, she only ranked in the seventh and didn’t even make it to the top five.
When could an owner of a small supermarket get so rich?
Clara glanced at chase with a smile. She was overwhelmed by her curiosity about him.
“Mr. Lu, how much have you donated?” Reba Chen couldn’t help asking Chase Lu curiously.
At first, she thought that Chase might donate one or two million the most.
However, Chase could possibly get higher than the seventh. How could she not be surprised?
Was Chase running a large chain supermarket?
But she has investigated SS Supermarket, which is just ordinary. In all supermarkets in Jol City, it may not be included in the top five.
Was it possible that the owner of this kind of small supermarket had donated tens of millions?
She couldn’t believe it.
“Not so much. I’m next.” Chase said with a smile.
He had donated one hundred million yuan. Each of the four families had donated one hundred and twenty million yuan, and he asked Wall Wang to donate another two hundred million yuan on behalf of Jay SIS technology.
With this series of moves, SS Supermarket would be right on the sixth.
“Mr. Lu, you are just so kind that you had donated more than 50 million yuan.” Lena Lan said in surprise.
Chase smiled. Such a thing like donation was always about goodwill instead of money. He hated those moral-hijackers.
He had plenty of money. He just wanted to donate more to the disaster area. Of course, it was also good to advertise for the company.
He didn’t come to show off, so he didn’t want to continue the conversation started from Reba and Lena.
People nearby heard that Chase had donated more than fifty million yuan, and they all looked over. Anyway, the top ten were going to be the center of all. The seventh, QC group had already donated fifty million yuan. People were looking forward to whether the first would exceed a hundred million yuan and which of the four families would be the first.
“Let’s welcome the representatives of the SS supermarket. SS ranks sixth and donates a hundred million yuan. Welcome!” After Clara finished her speech and stepped down, Chairman Shang announced. When he read “a hundred million yuan,” his voice was unconsciously louder for several decibels.
A hundred million!
Everyone was shocked to hear the number. SS Supermarket was such a badass that it had donated a hundred million yuan directly. How come they never hadn’t heard of this supermarket before?
Clara Li, who just stepped down, almost sprained and hurt her foot.
Chase had donated a hundred million yuan. What kind of supermarket was that?
Her eyes widened as she still could not believe such a thing.
The fact that Chase ranked above her had already made her feel incomprehensible. Unexpectedly, his donation amount was twice as much as her.
After all, the QC group was one of the top ten enterprises in Jol city.
As Chase got up onto the stage, all the people thought that it was just the sixth, and it had already reached a hundred million yuan. They couldn’t imagine what the top five would be like.
In the top five, the four families were certainly included.
So, who would be the other one?
Jay SIS Technology didn’t donate. It seemed that all the big companies present had been on the stage, and Wang’s had only donated ten million yuan. So, who else could it be?
They couldn’t figure out which company could donate hundreds of millions except for the four families.
Was it another dark horse like SS supermarket?
While people were wondering and guessing, Chase had already on the stage.
Mr. Shang was staring at Chase, who was clearly no more than twenty-five years old. It was incredible that such a young man had donated a hundred million yuan at this charity activity.
“Mr. Lu, may I ask you a personal question? Are you the owner of SS Supermarket?” President Shang asked curiously.
People under the stage were looking at Chase. Although many of them know him, they were very curious about him. Donation of a hundred million yuan from a little-known supermarket, no matter whether Chase was the supermarket owner, had already been a breaking topic.
The journalists from all kinds of media and newspapers were so excited that this news was definitely one of the hottest topics tonight.
They all started to make a mental-notes, preparing to write down the key points.
“Yes, I am the owner of SS Supermarket.” Chase nodded, which was the identity he prepared for tonight.
He was going to show up in this capacity in front of all the mainstream media and forces.
It happened that Chairman Shang asked him. Of course, he would not conceal it.
“Mr. Lu, you really surprised us. You are so loving. I thank you for your generosity on behalf of the people in the disaster area.” Mr. Shang picked up the charity strap from the etiquette tray and put it on for Chase.
“Mr. Lu, have a speech, please.” Mr. Shang handed the microphone to Chase.
“Well.” Chase took the microphone and thought about it before speaking.
“The purpose of the donation is only to help the compatriots in the disaster area. As long as I can help them, the goal has already achieved. It’s the goodwill that matters, not money.
Many of you have your doubts that I am just an owner of a small supermarket, how can I donate such money?
A hundred million yuan is still within the scope that I can bear, so I directly donated it.
Finally, I would like to say that the donation doesn’t need to be a burden, because we did it for the better life of the compatriots in the disaster area, not for the sake of reputation. Thank you.”
Chase went straight down as he finished.
“Such a great speaking!” Mr. Shang took the microphone and led the applause.
Chase’s words touched everyone under the stage, and they applauded constantly.
Those journalists wrote down the title: An owner of a small supermarket donated a hundred million and said something amazing.
“Next, let’s welcome the fifth company, Zhang’s…” After Chase came down, Mr. Shang brought Zhang’s onto the stage.
“The fifth had already donated a hundred and twenty million. How much had the first donated?
“At least a hundred and fifty million.”
“Yes, maybe two hundred million, but I really don’t know which one would be.”
While the representative of Zhang came to the stage, people began to discuss.
“Mr. Lu, which one do you think will be the first, and how much has it donated?” Reba asked Chase.
“I think it should be Chen’s. After all, they have always had a good reputation.” Clara also joined them and assumed.
“I feel like it could be a dark horse.” Chase joked about it.
Darkhorse?
It was possible. But which company would it be?
Not just Clara, everyone was looking forward to it.
