Chapter 295: Still Need to Keep a Low Profile (Part 1)

Director Li was shocked by Zhao Qingfeng’s true identity.

LeXin’s name was well-known, its costly promotion had made it famous throughout China, and it had even been the subject of special discussions and analyses in the New Culture newspaper.

Zhao Qingfeng, with a smile, habitually raised his eyebrows, waiting for Director Li’s response.

Director Li pocketed the business card and after a long pause asked, “Mr. Zhao, even though you’re the CEO, a hundred thousand is not a small amount. According to usual practice, we would accept your generous donation, but wouldn’t we also need to invite some journalist friends for a special interview, and then announce it to the entire city, showcasing your glorious image?”

Formalism kills.

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, “Director Li, I’ve always preferred to keep a low profile. Please don’t publicize my real identity when you accept this money.”

Director Li was very puzzled, “But… if you just donate like this, without any recognition, isn’t it as if you’ve gained nothing?”

Isn’t everything done for fame and profit?

Zhao Qingfeng spread his hands, “It’s not that I’ve gained nothing. At least I’ve followed my girlfriend’s wishes, and her happiness is my happiness. Also, Director Li, don’t forget, according to our country’s laws, donations can be deducted from corporate income tax, up to 12% of the annual profit can be deducted. So, I’m paying taxes as well as donating, the state won’t miss this little bit, and it’s better to donate to you. By the way, in a few days, there might be another donation coming, if I can convince Erlunsi, it should be no less than 500,000 yuan.”

Director Li was stunned and deeply moved.

He really wanted to shout out about this good deed, but remembering Zhao Qingfeng’s request for discretion, he forcibly held back and shook his hand tightly in thanks, “Thank you, Mr. Zhao, very much! Not just for the donation, but I’m also grateful you’re not thinking of exploiting the children. You might not know, but our school has mixed feelings when accepting donations. We do need the money and supplies, but we also have to cooperate with those seeking fame, undergoing various photo ops and… well, let’s not talk about that, someone is calling for you.”

Regardless, Director Li didn’t want to say too much since the donation was made.

Shen Lingyao had been waiting outside for a long time. When she came in and learned that Zhao Qingfeng was going to donate a total of 600,000 yuan, she was so happy she kissed him several times in front of Director Li.

“What are you doing! Are you that happy to be spending money?”

“We’re not lacking these, oh wait, shouldn’t we actually get someone to report this, to earn some reputation for the company?”

“No need.”

“Oh… are you upset?”

“Not upset, just reminded of… someone from the past.”

“What do you mean, who?”

“We’ll talk about it later, go on, Li Manrou is calling for you.”

Li Manrou was dissatisfied that Shen Lingyao surpassed her in donations.

She wanted to compete further, but Gao Shuai’s phone was unreachable, no money was coming through.

So, she attempted to tie her and Shen Lingyao’s donations together, suggesting the total of 110,000 yuan be donated under the class’s name without specifying amounts.

Shen Lingyao didn’t even consider it, “That won’t do, the hundred thousand was my personal donation, and it should bear my name! If we’re talking about joint names, it should at least be with Brother Qingfeng. Hey, that’s not a bad idea, I’ll ask the community director if we can split the record, especially since Brother Qingfeng’s class is also being evaluated in the department!”

Li Manrou was almost fuming, glaring at Zhao Qingfeng from afar, inwardly cursing his pretense of wealth.

Hmph!

Does she not know the true power behind our family’s Gao Shuai?
