Chapter 97 What's going on with the three of them?

The distance was less than a hundred meters, yet it took Jiang Chenfeng over ten minutes to finally enter his company.

His ears were filled with voices crying out for help!

Most of those who came to seek help were in dire straits; if they went bankrupt, their only option would be to jump off a building!

Jiang Chenfeng's company had been performing charitable works for several consecutive days, and many companies on the brink of collapse had been revived.

This had led to Hongtu Group becoming the final life-saving straw for these people!

Now that Hongtu Group had chosen to withdraw its investment, they naturally wanted to try and persuade them to stay.

"President Jiang!"

When Jiang Chenfeng reached the CEO's office, he saw Lan Xiaodie leading a group of people standing by the office door.

Upon seeing them, Jiang Chenfeng frowned slightly and said, "You're all here for help too, aren't you? I regret to inform you that Hongtu Group is currently struggling to save itself. You should all leave quickly!"

Lan Xiaodie stepped forward quickly, leaned into Jiang Chenfeng's ear, and explained, "President Jiang, they aren't here to ask for help; they're here to thank you!"

"Thank me?"

"That's right! Their companies have already returned to normal, all thanks to your help!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The crowd standing before Jiang Chenfeng knelt down in unison, their eyes filled with endless gratitude.

"Thank you, President Jiang!"

"President Jiang, thank you! If it weren't for you, my life would be over!"

They were the first batch to receive funding from Hongtu Group, so their companies were able to get back on track and resume operations very quickly.

Compared to the people at the company entrance, they were much more fortunate!

"..."

Seeing the dense crowd kneeling before him, Jiang Chenfeng was momentarily stunned, his mind hit by a wave of shock and awe.

Initially, he had only intended to give away his wealth and then leave Yun Province.

As for helping these people through their difficulties, it was merely something he did in passing!

To put it bluntly, he had never expected anyone to come and thank him.

Now, seeing so many people kneeling before him with eyes full of gratitude...

Stormy waves surged in Jiang Chenfeng's heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Perhaps this was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life?

"Please, get up!"

Jiang Chenfeng's voice was slightly hoarse as he helped the person at the very front to their feet.

Once everyone had stood up, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the hundreds of people waiting anxiously at the company entrance.

They didn't just represent themselves; there were ordinary people among them too.

Those ordinary people were just employees of the companies; because their companies were about to go bankrupt, they had come to plead with Jiang Chenfeng to continue funding them!

Behind so many companies were thousands upon thousands of families!

Although this wasn't Jiang Chenfeng's responsibility, seeing so many people seeking help at the company entrance made him feel somewhat uneasy.

"One hundred billion..."

Thinking of what Lin Tian had said, Jiang Chenfeng immediately fell into silence.

If he continued to help these small and micro-enterprises, he wouldn't be able to fulfill Lin Tian's condition!

But if he didn't help them, thousands of families would lose their livelihoods!

Some might even choose to end their own lives to escape such a bleak existence.

Although he wasn't a philanthropist, he decided to see this charity through to the end!

"President Jiang, President Liu and the others are here!"

Lan Xiaodie walked quickly to Jiang Chenfeng's side and gave a low-voiced report.

Jiang Chenfeng turned to look and saw Liu Xinlan, Su Yanran, Yang Shuyue, and others arriving on this floor.

Beside them followed a middle-aged man who carried the aura of someone who had long held a high position.

"President Jiang? I am Zhang Jianbo!"

The middle-aged man walked up to Jiang Chenfeng and extended his hand with a face full of smiles.

Zhang Jianbo?

The name sounded a bit familiar.

"He's the top leader of our city!" Lan Xiaodie introduced softly from behind Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng's eyes lit up, and he hurried to shake Zhang Jianbo's hand, saying, "So it's Mayor Zhang! Hello, hello!"

"I heard that your Hongtu Group has solved the urgent needs of many small and micro-enterprises. That's why I made a special trip here. I've decided to unite the major families and large enterprises in our city to launch a public welfare charity event, with your Hongtu Group taking the lead!"

Zhang Jianbo smiled and said, "Liu Group, Su Group, and Yang Group have all agreed to participate in this charity event and are willing to take the lead by donating fifty million each to support it."

Jiang Chenfeng glanced at Liu Xinlan and the other two, his expression becoming complicated.

Knowing full well that he had offended Lin Tian, these three women still came to help him like this.

Did they really not fear provoking Lin Tian?

Jiang Chenfeng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Mayor Zhang! I have decided to continue aiding these small and micro-enterprises, and I don't need donations from any other companies!"

He didn't want to implicate Liu Xinlan and the others.

As for whether doing this would offend Lin Tian?

He no longer cared!

"Oh? But President Liu and the others have already decided..."

Before Zhang Jianbo could continue, Jiang Chenfeng raised his hand to interrupt him. "Decisions can be canceled. As the wealthiest family in Yun Province, our Jiang Family should naturally make some contributions to this province!"

"Chenfeng, if you continue to aid the small and micro-enterprises, then what Lin Tian asked you to do..." Liu Xinlan said with difficulty.

Su Yanran nodded in agreement. "Yes! You should do as Lin Tian said. We can handle the matter of aiding small and micro-enterprises!"

Yang Shuyue said, "We won't revoke this decision!"

(Fine!)

(Anyway, I'm already facing a certain death. Even if I do as Lin Tian says, he might not necessarily let me go.)

(Since it's a dead end regardless, I'll live for myself for once! Even if I die in the end, I'll die spectacularly; it won't be a wasted life!)

(Lin Tian! I won't be afraid of you anymore. I want to see exactly how you'll deal with me!)

(However, these girls still don't know who they've offended. No matter what, I can't implicate them. I must make them keep their distance from me!)

Thinking of this, Jiang Chenfeng made his decision. His gaze swept over Liu Xinlan and the others, and he waved his hand impatiently. "If you want to donate, that's your business! It has absolutely nothing to do with me, Jiang Chenfeng. Leave our company immediately; I'm sick of seeing you!"

But after those words were spoken...

Liu Xinlan, Su Yanran, and Yang Shuyue weren't angry at all. Instead, they looked at him with beaming smiles.

(What's up with these three silly women?)

Jiang Chenfeng frowned, not quite understanding what the three of them meant.

(Is it because my tone wasn't harsh enough? Or is it because I didn't pick a specific person to target, so they're all acting so indifferent?)

(Fine, fine, fine!)
