Chapter 83 - Charity Budget

Chapter 83: Charity Budget

Yao Zizhou did not expect Ming Liuyi to be doing something so meaningful. Every year, many families of vegetative patients would receive financial aid because these families lived impoverished lives. Besides, the Yao Corporation would allocate a large amount of money every year for charity, so there was no problem at all.

“The Yao Corporation donates a generous sum of money every year, so this amount is not a problem.”

With that, Yao Zizhou decided to give He Xiang a call. Even though the company made a donation every year, he still needed to check how much funding was left. If there was not much left, then he would pay out of his own pocket to make up for it for Ming Liuyi’s sake. Besides, this was also a good opportunity to promote the company, so it was a sure win. Yao Zizhou picked up the phone and called He Xiang with the voice assistant. As soon as the call connected, he heard He Xiang’s voice.

“President Yao, do you have any orders?”

Yao Zizhou did not waste any time and promptly asked how much of the company’s charity fund was left that day. If it was enough, he would ask He Xiang to transfer it all to Ming Liuyi so that she could contribute to the charity.

He Xiang was silent for a moment when he heard Yao Zizhou’s words. Then, he picked up the report that was sent to him that morning, frowned, and quickly said, “Just the day before, the vice president reported the remaining budget. There is no more funding left.”

Yao Zizhou immediately frowned. What was Yao Ziyang planning to do with such a large budget? What kind of charity project would require so much money? However, that was not important. What was important now was to get the money Ming Liuyi needed.

Yao Zizhou’s face was cold, and he coolly said, “What kind of charity project is Yao Ziyang doing? Tell him to set aside three million.”

Hearing Yao Zizhou’s words, He Xiang fell silent. The vice president had already made the declaration in advance, and the company should be ready to transfer the funds by now. If he suddenly cut off the funds, the vice president might become very unhappy, but no matter what, Yao Zizhou was the leader of Yao Corporation.

After waiting for a long time, Yao Zizhou said impatiently, “Is there a problem?”

Hearing Yao Zizhou’s dissatisfaction, He Xiang immediately came back to his senses. Yao Ziyang was the vice president. If there was any problem, he could go to the president directly himself. The president would give the vice president his reasons. He Xiang was only a secretary.

He Xiang took the phone and said respectfully, “No sir. I will carry out your instructions right away.”

Ming Liuyi listened as Yao Zizhou settled the matter, and he had even allocated three million for her. She immediately gave him a thumbs-up. He was indeed the president, to be so generous in charity. This could save more families of vegetative patients and give more people hope to live. After Yao Zizhou hung up the phone, Ming Liuyi immediately said with admiration, “You’re so cool, President Yao.”

Yao Zizhou just nodded without showing any pride. The villa was filled with laughter and cheering. Over at Yao Ziyang’s side, however, he was in a pinch. Yao Zizhou had never asked about the charity fund before, and Yao Ziyang had been in charge of it all by himself. But now, the massive 10,000,000 yuan had all been approved to go to a foundation that was under Yao Ziyang’s name.

Yao Ziyang could benefit from every bit of that money. He thought he was going to be promoted this year, so he did not set any plans for the charity budget. In the past, he would buy about 10,000,000 yuan worth of materials. With some slight manipulation of the prices, the actual cost was only about 3 million.

The rest of the money would go into Yao Ziyang’s personal funds. Yao Ziyang used the money for personal relationships and other personal spending. This time, Yao Ziyang used the money to order a yacht for Cai Rixi. The yacht alone cost 7,000,000 yuan, and the remaining money was just enough to pay the Yao Corporation’s factory.

This money was needed to cover both sides, but Yao Zizhou suddenly asked for 3 million, so Yao Ziyang had no choice but to take out 3 million from his own personal funds. In the past, 3 million was nothing, but now it was different. Yao Ziyang had just declared war against Yao Zizhou, and they were going to be pitting against each other in direct confrontation. Every penny was necessary at any critical point during the confrontation.

However, with just a few words from Yao Zizhou, Yao Ziyang had lost so much money. He had had enough of this kind of life. The most important thing now was to get the support of the Cai family. As for the other matters, they could wait for a while. Yao Ziyang looked at the time impatiently, but he had no choice but to call Cai Rixi and ask if she wanted to spend the night with him.
