While the two had different thoughts, Yang Qingyue and Ling Qingyu poised liveliness and showed their best image for the camera, news erupted across Weibo.
Although the donation to the police reached headlines with many views, it couldn't create an ignition of interest.
Ordinary public didn't know what it meant for Ling Qingyu to donate apart from enhancing the police force. Besides, except for those who lived in City N, they reckoned it would affect them the least.
But the higher-ups and those related understood the severity of the situation. Ling Qingyu's support for Yang Qingyue announced troubles for her enemies.
It was like attaching a fierce tiger with wings. Anyone against her better watched out for future liquidation. Although the central government team had arrived and taken action, for the escapees, it rang alarm bells.
Yang Qingyue's promise of a safer city had become a reality. She would crush those organized gangs and eliminate any threats to the public.
For the officials and politicians who sought interest over righteousness, their hands became tighter, wary of attracting Yang Qingyue's eyes.
They couldn't hurt Yang Qingyue after her reputation rose to the peak and received backing from the capital. As for Ling Qingyu, everyone waited for the early birds.
Ling Qingyu's ruthlessness and talents were very well-known. They were certain for Ling Qingyu to publicly sided with Yang Qingyue proved she was prepared.
Nobody wanted to suffer under her hand, though they still looked down on her achievements and foundations. Yet, who hadn't begun their journey from nothing? Perhaps, many forgot this simple truth.
The reason for heated fierce discussions in Weibo began after another announcement released by the public hospital in Province N.
Last night, Ling Qingyu decided to overwhelm the network after careful consideration. Since her desire was to raise the status and public awareness of her company, Ling Qingyu donated a huge sum to the hospital.
She called Mo Yunxi and informed her decision to donate 1 billion yuan. The money was for the patients who suffered paying bills due to a difficult life or faced some troubles organizing the money.
Her request simply was to let the hospital's official account announce on Weibo this time, compared to remaining anonymous in a prior one.
Mo Yunxi reacted strongly that it was unnecessary but expressed gratitude. Ling Qingyu placated the young doctor by mentioning the benefits she gained.
Still, she didn't leave a negative impression on the doctor after fully knowing, it was business style. Mo Yunxi supported her behavior—a charity, no matter with hidden goals or not, must be applauded—and informed her that she would talk with the dean afterward.
In any case, the poor and suffering should obtain the best treatment with the funds Ling Qingyu gifted.
As for offending the powerful, Ling Qingyu had no fears. Weighing the costs and benefits, Ling Qingyu foresaw raising the status of Spirit Beauty & Clothing Co.Ltd, could raise her own reputation to a new height.
Most businesspeople tended to tread carefully and search for any warning signs from the officials. They wanted no trouble with these powerful ones, meddling in their business and costing wealth.
For example, a repetitive tax check could ruin the running business. In case, they found a legitimate reason or made one up after a thorough investigation, a civilian forfeiture was another option.
However, Ling Qingyu predicted such methods couldn't occur. Even if they desired to, would they dare?
Until Yang Qingyue's momentum quiet down, these powerful ones must tuck their tails between the legs. Ling Qingyu gained a period of peace where she could take advantage by resting near Yang Qingyue's shade.
[You're gender discriminatory.]
[No, I look at the face more. Even if it's a man, I'm willing to be bent.]
[Eww. Stay away brother.]
[I'm verifying the news and waiting whether the hospital treatment would be sincere. I have met cases where they spent the donor's fund outrageously for themselves.]
[Don't worry, since the hospital announces the exact amount and tells everyone's eligibility to monitor the flow of the funds, this is genuine.]
[Above, if it's true, I'm even thinking of moving my entire family to City N for these benefits.]
[Patient. Woah! Don't you know City N is in Province N? The most dangerous province! There's just be a large shootout between the cops and the gangs.]
[Doesn't matter, I'm sure the police there are working hard, and in case everyone still doesn't know, President Ling also donated funding, vehicles and equipment to the City N police station.]
[I'm moving. Anyone?]
[Me too.]
