Chapter Index

    ‘Thank you, Mr. Xu. Thank you, Mr. Xu.’

    Hearing that Xu Shaochen is willing to help, Dean Fu let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had survived a catastrophe.

    In his circle of friends, Xu Shaochen was the most capable person. He had placed all his hopes on him.

    ‘Let’s do it tonight. Schedule a meeting with the other party.’

    Xu Shaochen said. During the day, he had to keep Xie Wei, Song Xinran, and Du Ruyan company. He was quite busy, after all.

    If only he could gather all three of them in one place, that would be ideal. Then he wouldn’t have to rush around.

    Maybe this is what they call the sweet burden of happiness.

    ‘Yes, yes, Mr. Xu. I will fix the place tonight and give you a call.’

    Dean Fu replied respectfully.

    ‘Alright, that’s the plan.’

    Xu Shaochen nodded, then left the office. After chatting with his mother for a while, he left the Hospital.

    After leaving the Hospital, instead of heading to see the Woman, he went to meet a man first.

    Li Jianzhang, the head of Xu Shaochen’s personal charity foundation.

    ‘How’s everything going?’

    Inside Li Jianzhang’s office, Xu Shaochen asked.

    The charity foundation had just been established, and there were a ton of things to manage. Even on weekends, they were working overtime.

    ‘It’s going well. Currently, our target is a village in the southwestern mountains where we plan to open the first School.’

    While speaking, Li Jianzhang handed his proposal to Xu Shaochen. ‘When the time comes, Chairman Xu, it would be best if you could visit the place yourself. It would be great publicity.’

    Charity is charity, but if you can promote yourself while helping others, why not?

    ‘No, I’m not going.’

    Xu Shaochen shook his head and turned down the suggestion, as he had a better idea.

    ‘Chairman Xu?’ Li Jianzhang was stunned by this response. He did not understand what Xu Shaochen meant.

    With a faint smile, Xu Shaochen said, ‘Build Schools, donate Clothes, make Charitable Contributions, build Hospitals—whichever area is poor, that’s where you donate. Then…’

    ‘Brilliant, Chairman Xu! This way, you’ll create a huge impact, and your popularity will skyrocket, becoming unshakeable.’

    Li Jianzhang’s eyes lit up after hearing this. He couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to Xu Shaochen.

    ‘Alright, cut the flattery. Make sure the charity work is done earnestly. I really want to help those children who can’t afford to go to School.’

    Xu Shaochen was sincere in saying this. Xu Family Village was once very poor, but there were even poorer villages in Longguo.

    Kids there started School late because there weren’t any nearby. They were too young and couldn’t risk the dangerous mountain paths to Schools in other villages or towns.

    ‘Understood. Rest assured, Mr. Xu. I will make sure everything is handled properly.’ Li Jianzhang replied firmly.

    ‘Good.’ Xu Shaochen nodded, tossing the proposal back without even looking at it, ‘Old Li, I trust you. Just go ahead and do it. I have only one requirement.’

    ‘Yes, Chairman Xu. Please go ahead.’ Li Jianzhang unconsciously straightened up and used a respectful title as the aura around Xu Shaochen became overwhelming.

    Xu Shaochen fixed his eyes on him, speaking almost word by word, ‘Keep a close watch on the company’s internal matters. Make sure every penny is used for the impoverished areas. If anyone dares to embezzle, I’ll chop off their hands.’

    ‘Yes, Mr. Xu. Rest assured, I guarantee that nothing like that will happen.’ Li Jianzhang was sweating bullets, feeling as though a thousand-pound weight had been placed on his shoulders.

    Xu Shaochen’s expression softened again. He patted Li Jianzhang on the shoulder, ‘No need to stress so much. I believe you’ll do fine.’

    With those words, Xu Shaochen stood up and walked out of the office.

    ‘Chairman Xu, let me see you off.’

    Li Jianzhang hurriedly stood up to escort him, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless. After everything Xu Shaochen said, how could he not be stressed? After leaving the Charity Company, Xu Shaochen first went to the 4S Store to see Song Xinran. There, they exchanged sweet talk in her office.

    Afterward, Song Xinran returned to work, and Xu Shaochen called Xie Wei to arrange a meeting.

    His day was fully booked. Since Song Xinran had to work, he only needed to spend a little time with her.

    However, both Xie Wei and Du Ruyan had the day off, so he had to make more time for them.

    He would spend the morning with Xie Wei, the afternoon with Du Ruyan, and in the evening, solve Dean Fu’s problem.

    Chairman Xu’s day was packed to the brim.

    But, as always, plans never keep up with changes.

    ‘Shaochen.’

    At the entrance of Xie Wei’s residential complex, she came dressed in a pink long dress, fluttering into Xu Shaochen’s arms like a butterfly.

    Having not seen each other for several days, both were filled with longing. They immediately started kissing in front of everyone.

    ‘Let’s go for a walk, and then we can have lunch together.’

    After a long time, Xu Shaochen let go of Xie Wei. Walking was fine, but during their walk, they ran into a problem.

    They bumped into Du Ruyan!!!

    ‘Shaochen, who is she!’

    With a face full of hostility, Du Ruyan glared at Xie Wei. The way she looked was as if she was saying, ‘This vixen dares to steal my man.’

    ‘Cough, cough.’ Xu Shaochen coughed to cover his guilt. Damn, this is what you call a mess-up.

    ‘Hello, young lady. I’m Shaochen’s girlfriend.’ Facing Du Ruyan’s anger, Xie Wei remained calm and well-mannered.

    Du Ruyan’s face turned pale with anger. She looked at Xu Shaochen and gritted her teeth, ‘If she’s your girlfriend, then what am I?’

    ‘You are also my girlfriend,’ replied the shameless Xu Shaochen.

    ‘Scumbag! Shameless! Go to hell!’

    After cursing him out, Du Ruyan stormed off in a rage.

    ‘Don’t just stand there. Go after her. She’s young; a few sweet words will calm her down.’ Xie Wei nudged Xu Shaochen. She knew her place well, understanding she could never really become Xu Shaochen’s wife.

    ‘But…’

    Xu Shaochen glanced at Xie Wei, but in the end, he followed her advice and went after Du Ruyan. He was afraid she might lose control of her emotions and do something rash.

    ‘What are you doing here, you scumbag!’

    When Du Ruyan saw Xu Shaochen catching up, she puffed up her cheeks and glared at him.

    ‘Ruyan, listen to me.’ Xu Shaochen grabbed Du Ruyan’s delicate hand.

    ‘No, I’m not listening! You’re just a scumbag who thinks with your lower body, an insect-brained bastard!’

    Du Ruyan covered her ears and shook her head repeatedly, clearly infuriated.

    ‘Mmmm—’

    Du Ruyan froze the next second because Xu Shaochen suddenly hugged her and kissed her. Her face instantly turned red.

    ‘Now are you willing to listen to me?’

    It was only after a long time that Xu Shaochen released Du Ruyan. This was undoubtedly the best way to calm a woman’s anger.

    ‘You… you jerk! There are so many people here, and you… you…’

    Du Ruyan’s face was burning. She was both embarrassed and angry, never expecting Xu Shaochen to kiss her in front of so many people.

    Of course, this kiss had already extinguished seventy percent of the raging fire within her.

    Seeing the right moment, Xu Shaochen shamelessly began to persuade the young lady.
