Cultivation of true medicine and saints in the city

Chapter 148 Donation also depends on identity

"Well, yes, when I met you that time, I did open a small clinic, but now, I go to school to be a teacher."

Zhao Yifan explained with a smile: "By the way, it's a Chinese medicine teacher."

Only then did Kang Yingying suddenly realize.

When Qiu Zhendong heard this, he immediately became less interested. For businessmen like them, the biggest purpose of coming to the charity gala tonight is to take the opportunity to get to know more people so as to expand their business scope.

"It's good to be a teacher."

Zhang Ying smiled: "The engineer of the human soul."

A few people chatted while walking, and came to the hotel, in the lobby specially prepared for the charity gala.

This hall was originally designed to hold various large-scale celebrations. Zhao Yifan took a look and estimated that it could accommodate at least three to four hundred people.

Zhao Yifan originally wanted to say hello to Lin Jie, but when he saw him in the crowd, he kept saying hello to everyone, sweating profusely, he gave up this idea in his heart.

"Brother Fan, let's sit here, how about?"

Kang Yingying said to Zhao Yifan carefully, although Zhao Yifan said that he is a teacher, but Kang Yingying really dare not treat him as an ordinary teacher.

"Okay."

Zhao Yifan nodded, he doesn't care where he sits, it's good to sit with Kang Yingying, there is an acquaintance who can chat and talk.

Zhang Ying and Qiu Zhendong also sat down, but within a minute, Qiu Zhendong couldn't sit still any longer. Holding a glass of wine, he walked into the crowd, looked left and right, and when he saw similar people, he handed over a business card and said that he was acquainted. The conversation started.

The purpose of Qiu Zhendong's participation in the charity gala today is very clear, that is, to take the opportunity to expand his network.

"Yingying, don't you want to talk to someone?"

Seeing Kang Yingying and Zhao Yifan there, chatting with each other, Zhang Ying felt a little strange.

Today's charity gala, for a newcomer like Kang Yingying who just debuted, is an excellent opportunity to expand her social circle. Kang Yingying usually has a lot of trouble, so why are you so stupid today, just sitting here with that Zhao Yifan to chat with?
"Hehe, I'm not going, Miss Zhang."

Kang Yingying turned her head to Zhang Ying and said with a smile, "I'm here to chat with Brother Fan today."

Zhang Ying frowned, isn't she just a teacher, what is there to talk about?However, she and Kang Yingying haven't known each other for a long time. Zhang Ying is a reporter in Beijing, who is in charge of the film and television entertainment section. Last month, she happened to interview a new film crew that was just about to be filmed, so she met Kang Yingying, the main supporting role in the play. .

The two are about the same age, they are both foreigners working here, and they can still chat, so they feel a little sympathetic to each other.

Today's charity party, Zhang Ying told Kang Yingying and brought her here, hoping that through this opportunity, Kang Yingying could expand her network of contacts.

Unexpectedly, when Kang Yingying met an acquaintance, she forgot the business, she was so young!
Zhang Ying shook her head.

Seeing her expression, Kang Yingying mistakenly thought that she was being left out in the cold, so she quickly smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, why don't you go find someone to chat with Mr. Qiu?"

"I'll let it go."

Zhang Ying smiled and said: "Lao Qiu and I are going to get married soon. Once we get married, I will quit my job and become a full-time wife, so just let him socialize alone. I don't worry about that." gone."

"Miss Zhang, your life is really good."

Kang Yingying said with a smile: "Mr. Qiu can make so much money and treats you so well, I'm so jealous."

"What kind of money can you make?"

There was a hint of pride in Zhang Yingmei's eyes, and she shook her head and said, "But it's true for being good to me. My old Qiu has only earned tens of millions over the years, which is too little. Some people who came to the charity gala tonight have their roots uprooted." The thigh hair is thicker than my old Qiu!"

Kang Yingying said: "Sister Zhang, Boss Qiu is worth tens of millions, are you not satisfied?"

"Human, how can there be a time when you are content?"

Zhang Ying said: "There is a lot of money and a lot of expenses. Besides, in a place like Kyoto, there are many people with hundreds of millions or tens of billions of dollars. My old Qiu's money is really not enough for others. Take today Let’s talk about the organizer of the show, the CEO of Outstanding International Group. He is young, has a net worth of over [-] million, and has a wide range of contacts. Let’s take these people who participated in the party today as an example. My old Qiu is rich."

"Miss Zhang, that may not be the case."

Hearing this, Zhao Yifan said with a smile: "For example, I am not as rich as Mr. Qiu."

"Mr. Zhao, you are a teacher, not a businessman."

Zhang Ying glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said, "There is no comparison." She thought to herself, you are really good at metaphors.

"Phew... I'm exhausted."

Qiu Zhendong was sweating profusely, holding a wine glass, and sat down beside Zhang Ying, "It's really hot! By the way, dear, guess who I met just now?"

Before Zhang Ying could speak, Qiu Zhendong announced the answer, saying, "I met Mr. Lin from Jinding Group!"

Zhang Ying was taken aback for a moment, then said in surprise and joy: "Lin Qiaoxia?"

"Ah."

Qiu Zhendong said with a smile: "Isn't she your idol?"

"Is she here too?"

Zhang Ying couldn't help looking left and right with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Where are you?"

"Don't look at me dear."

Qiu Zhendong sighed, and said: "There are a bunch of people around Mr. Lin who are chatting with her. I planned to go over and have a chat with her, but I stood by and listened, and I really couldn't get in the conversation. When it comes to business, it’s all billions or tens of billions of dollars, and I can’t even talk to people like me.”

After taking a sip of water, Qiu Zhendong took the initiative to say to Zhao Yifan and Kang Yingying: "Ms. Zhao, Yingying, why don't you two go out and chat with people? Today is a rare opportunity to get to know more people and expand your social circle." , It will be of great benefit to you in the future, this is my personal experience, it is easy to travel if you have more friends, this is really not wrong at all!"

"Hehe, forget it, I like quietness."

Zhao Yifan waved his hand and said, "It's good to just sit here for a while."

"Me too."

Kang Yingying said with a smile: "I'll just sit with Brother Fan for a while."

"Hehe, Zhendong, everyone has their own preferences. Teacher Zhao and Yingying don't want to go out to socialize, so it's fine for us to sit and chat for a while."

Zhang Ying said something next to him.

"Oh, that's a pity."

Qiu Zhendong shook his head, and said to Zhao Yifan: "Mr. Zhao, you are still young and don't understand the importance of connections. Let me tell you this. At the charity gala tonight, you see so many people. To put it bluntly, that is Connections! Moreover, when the auction comes later, you will be able to see the importance of connections!"

Knowing that Zhao Yifan is just a teacher, Qiu Zhendong still feels pretty good about himself in front of him, and he speaks with a sense of superiority, willing to give Zhao Yifan some pointers.

"auction?"

Kang Yingying raised her eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Qiu, isn't this a charity donation party? It's not an auction. What's the auction for?"

Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Yingying, this is another kind of charitable donation event. Those who want to donate tonight, everyone will take out an item, quote a reserve price, and give it to the auctioneer for auction..." She explained the rules.

"So this is ah."

Kang Yingying suddenly realized, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What if no one takes pictures?"

"This is the importance of connections."

Qiu Zhendong continued her words and said: "Actually, in this kind of charity event, everyone donates some worthless gadgets and then takes pictures of them. If you have good contacts, then someone else will buy them at a high price and give them to you later. But the money from the auction is yours."

"That's it."

Kang Yingying understood, "This is also a means to get closer."

"clever!"

Qiu Zhendong glanced at her appreciatively, and said: "If you don't know anyone, then you can only donate things yourself, and then take pictures of them yourself, but if this is the case, it will be a bit embarrassing."

"President Qiu, Sister Zhang, what are you two going to auction today?"

Kang Yingying said jokingly: "If it's not expensive, I'll call a price for you."

"Forget it."

Qiu Zhendong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your sister Zhang and I are here today. On the one hand, I want to meet some people, and on the other hand, we are here to join in the fun. In addition, how should I put it up for auction? You have to weigh your own weight, don't look at my net worth, but to be honest, on this high-end occasion, I want to donate things for auction, but it's really not enough. If I really take an item up for auction, it's really useless Adding a laughing stock is not shameful enough."

"President Qiu, I don't quite agree with your opinion."

Zhao Yifan shook his head, "I heard that the purpose of this charity gala is to donate money to poor counties to build roads and bridges, so that children in those mountainous areas can go to school more conveniently and don't have to take those dangerous roads. We didn't It needs to be so complicated, and we should do what we can, donate as much as we can, and donate as much as we want.”

"Well, what Brother Fan said makes sense."

Kang Yingying nodded in agreement. She also felt that since it was building roads for children in impoverished counties, she should do what she could. Those who have money should donate more, and those who have no money should donate less. It seems that even things like donating money and loving kindness are linked to identity, social status, and so on.

Isn't this the opposite of the theme of the charity gala?
"Mr. Zhao, you still think it's too simple."

Qiu Zhendong said disapprovingly: "Let's put it this way, according to today's auction donation form, if you take an item up for auction, then the item itself must have a certain value or a very meaningful item. Right? You can’t just take a worthless thing up for auction, can you?”

As he said that, Qiu Zhendong casually picked up the wine glass on the table, "It's like this glass. If you give this thing to the auctioneer and let him auction it on the stage, do you think anyone will buy it? Unless you are a big shot, Someone will come to flatter you and rush to take a picture, otherwise, others will think you are mentally ill!"
