After meeting with the petition group of college students, Wang Hengyue’s subsequent actions shocked people again.
On the night of July 25th, Nanjing Charity Night Donation Dinner.
This was a charity dinner for Chinese orphans. Most of Nanjing's celebrities and wise men appeared at this charity dinner. They talked about business matters, the disputes between China and Britain, and the progress of the world war.
Although China and Britain had a small use of force on Asik Island, the war seemed far away from China.
Just in 1940, the Chinese government launched a series of economic stimulus plans to continue to promote China's rapid economic growth.
Of course, the stimulating effect of war on the economy cannot be underestimated. War can cause harm to people, but war also breeds endless business opportunities.
A large number of Chinese businessmen invested themselves in the opportunities brought to them by the war. They keenly captured all the fleeting opportunities in the war and made huge profits in the warring countries.
The Chinese government strongly encourages this... When businessmen make money, the country also makes money. When businessmen make a fortune, the country's economy is greatly promoted.
This dinner is also an expression of these businessmen giving back to the society.
The first part of the dinner was donations. Maybe they were sincere, or maybe they were deliberately showing off their wealth in front of others. The attendees were very enthusiastic about donating. In just one hour, 3.3 million yuan had been raised.
.
"Thank you to all the sages in society..."
The host of the dinner had just said his first words of thanks. His secretary hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear. The host's face changed drastically, and then there was a burst of ecstasy. He cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, everyone, here I want to report a very good news to you... The impact of this donation dinner is so great that even I myself did not expect... Soon, there will be a
The distinguished guest is here...I announce that the donation dinner will continue for two hours...Now this distinguished guest is on his way, please wait patiently..."
The guests were all a little confused. What kind of distinguished guests could make the dinner last for two hours? There are officials, big businessmen, and celebrities here. The elites of Nanjing are all here. Who is qualified to make them wait?
?
The host seemed very nervous, and sent people to the door from time to time. He couldn't wait any longer, and even ran to the door to take a look himself. He seemed completely confused. His actions also aroused greater curiosity among the guests.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, several burly men in casual clothes with stern faces walked in and carefully inspected the venue.
This appearance of being faced with a formidable enemy also made the guests even more confused...
After waiting for a few more minutes, a middle-aged man walked in and said a few words in the host's ear. The host's face was filled with ecstasy again, and he hurried to the front of the host:
"Everyone, everyone, our distinguished guest has arrived. Please allow us to welcome the head of state, the President of the Republic of China - Wang Hengyue with the warmest applause!"
All the guests were stunned. They wondered if they heard wrongly. Who? Who appeared here? The President of the Republic of China?
After a brief moment of astonishment, crazy applause rang out...
Amidst the applause, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China, slowly walked into the banquet hall... The applause became more and more enthusiastic and crazy...
"Lao Zhou, you look good recently." Wang Hengyue pointed at a businessman he recognized and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you President for your concern." "Old Zhou"'s voice was trembling a little when he answered.
"Manager Chang, I heard that you sold a large amount of goods to the British? Did you make a fortune?" Wang Hengyue said to another businessman with a smile.
Manager Chang smiled broadly: "President, I pay my taxes on time."
"Director Fang." Wang Hengyue stopped when he happened to see Director Fang of the Nanjing Tobacco Monopoly Bureau: "How come your cigarette prices have increased so much recently? I can hardly afford to buy cigarettes. If this continues, I will live there."
You went to Director Fang’s house to smoke!”
Director Fang smiled very happily: "Welcome, welcome, the president is here, I will definitely treat him with good cigarettes, enough care!"
After saying that, he hurriedly added: "I paid for everything myself. Did the President not bring anyone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption today?"
The whole room burst into laughter, and Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "If someone from the Independent Commission Against Corruption is really here, your director will not be so carefree anymore. I will have to go to the prison to deliver cigarettes to you."
The laughter became even more cheerful. The host came up quickly: "Please give me a lecture from the president."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "I heard that today is a dinner for donating money to orphans. I happened to have nothing to do, so I came here after thinking about it. Donate some money to the orphans. Just treat it as a token of your gratitude.
.”
"Welcome, the president's heart for the orphans will definitely be known to everyone."
Under repeated invitations from the host, Wang Hengyue stood on the hosting stage. He asked the host to bring the donation list and read it: "Mr. Chang, you made millions from doing business with the British, and you just donated today.
Ten thousand is really stingy. I, as the great president today, have to use some of my privileges. By the way, you have to donate at least one hundred thousand."
"Yes, yes." As if it was a great honor to be named by the president, Manager Chang did not hesitate at all: "Chang also feels a bit stingy, one hundred thousand is still less, two hundred thousand, I will donate another two hundred thousand
!”
There was a burst of applause, Wang Hengyue nodded and said with a smile: "That's right..." His eyes turned on the list, and he quickly said: "Director Fang is not easy..."
All the guests' eyes fell on Director Fang, and Wang Hengyue on the stage said: "Director Fang mentioned the Independent Commission Against Corruption just now, and he was actually not entirely joking. Not long ago, someone reported Director Fang for corruption and bribery. I was
After hearing this, he became furious. How dare someone in Nanjing be so bold? The Independent Commission Against Corruption immediately launched an investigation after receiving the report, and the investigation was very detailed. Do you know how much savings the director of the Tangtang Tobacco Monopoly Bureau has in his family?"
There was silence below, and Wang Hengyue slowly stretched out two fingers: "Two thousand!"
There were whispers, and everyone seemed to be unwilling to believe this number. Wang Hengyue sighed softly: "Not only do you not believe it, I also didn't believe it after hearing it. How can a director of the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau only have this number in his family?"
A little money? I will ask people to investigate again, secretly, and want to dig out Director Fang's roots and dig out a deeply hidden corrupt official. Now that I think about it, I am judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Okay. Lao Fang, I apologize to you here!"
As he said that, he actually bowed deeply to Director Fang in front of everyone.
Director Fang was frightened, and waved his hands repeatedly in gratitude and panic, "No, no, President, how do you say this..."
"If you make a mistake, you have to apologize. There's nothing much to say about that." Wang Hengyue raised his head: "As a result, we searched again and again. We didn't find a corrupt official, but found a good official. As everyone knows, Director Fang has participated in
A veteran of the Russian War, he was later injured and retired. But what he never forgot was the brothers who died on the battlefield. Every month, he would spend more than half of his salary to support his brothers' families and help those who lost their lives.
The orphaned and widowed mother who lost her husband and father..."
There was silence in the banquet hall, and everyone looked at Director Fang with different eyes.
The president's voice continued: "The bigger his official position, the more money he takes out. How can he save money like this? Lao Fang, on behalf of your fallen brothers and on behalf of everyone, thank you.
is you!"
The President once again bowed deeply to Director Fang... At this moment, Director Fang had tears in his eyes and could not utter a word.
"He didn't tell anyone, he didn't tell anyone." Wang Hengyue sighed and continued: "With such good officials, our country can run well, and there is no hardship that cannot be overcome. The reason why I am here today
, in addition to supporting charity, there is another very important reason. Many orphans I know, their fathers and mothers are soldiers. They lost their father and mother, and their closest relatives. A war,
Many families will be destroyed, and there will be more orphans. What will happen to these people? Who will take care of them? I think it should be those of us who have the ability to take care of them."
Every word of the great president echoed in everyone’s ears:
"Everyone knows that the world war is going on. China may not participate in the war, but it may be forced into the war sooner or later. With the war, countless lives will be destroyed, countless families will be broken, and we don't know how many more orphans will be added. So I think this charity
The dinner is quite meaningful. I personally announce that I will donate one million yuan to help renovate the charity fund!"
Everyone was startled for a moment, and then a wave of applause broke out!
There were also some who responded quickly. While applauding, they sensed some other meaning from the president's words.
"China may not participate in the war, but it may be forced into the war sooner or later. If the war starts, countless lives will be devastated, countless families will be broken, and we don't know how many more orphans will be added..."
Is China really preparing to go to war? Is the President coming here today just to convey a cryptic message to everyone in another way?
Or is he just overthinking it? The president just made a donation?
War cannot be separated from the support of everyone and the entire country. Only when the entire country is mobilized can the war continue until victory is achieved!
