Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiao Qiao paused briefly before hurriedly waving her hands, "I, I don't have that kind of ability."

Clutching her fork and pouting, she said, "The only thing I have is the few hundred thousand you gave me. That's nowhere near enough to start a Charity Organization."

As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment before saying sheepishly, "Actually... before, I had thought about whether I should donate this money to those who need help."

"But it was Sister Star who told me that the prerequisite for helping others is to first take good care of oneself."

"Right now, I'm still pretty confused about everything, and I don't have any savings, let alone a foundation on Qin Island."

"So... the priority for me is to study hard, find a stable job after graduating, and get myself settled first. Then I can consider helping others."

"Moreover, during this time, following Sister Star, I have really seen so many people who need help."

"I know that on my own, I simply can't help so many people."

"That's why I've decided to help them within my means, and not be as idealistic as I was before..."

Listening to Yu Qiao Qiao's heartfelt words, Chen Yan nodded slightly.

He had heard a lot about Jiang Nanxing from both Yu Qiao Qiao and Lu Man. Chen Yan had always had a high opinion of this intellectual woman.

Chen Yan also felt that even though Lu Man usually acted unreliably, introducing Yu Qiao Qiao to Jiang Nanxing was a rare and dependable thing she had done.

Even though Yu Qiao Qiao grew up in an orphanage, her innocence had always made her a bit too idealistic.

Letting Jiang Nanxing protect her while exposing her to the harsher realities of society could indeed make her less idealistic.

Thinking this, Chen Yan said, "Actually... your thinking is correct."

"Helping others should definitely be done within your means."

"And it should not affect your own life."

"However... what I had in mind wasn't for you to start a Charity Organization yourself, but rather... for us to collaborate."

Hearing Chen Yan's suggestion, Yu Qiao Qiao was surprised and looked at him, "Collaborate, the two of us?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes. We can start a Charity Organization together. I'll provide the funds, you operate it. What do you think?"

Yu Qiao Qiao looked at Chen Yan and asked uncertainly, "But... Chen Yan, why do you suddenly want to get involved in charity?"

Chen Yan said with a smile, "Because I also want to help others."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiao Qiao bowed her head and while continuing to fork up her Dirty Bun, she muttered, "I don't believe it. I've never seen you helping others before."

"You must want to do charity all of a sudden for me."

Upon hearing Yu Qiao Qiao's mutterings, Chen Yan chuckled. He thought... Boss Qiao Qiao wasn't so foolish after all.

Yet, the reason Chen Yan had come to talk to Yu Qiao Qiao today was definitely because he had something in mind.

After all... he was someone who even made plans for learning new "positions"...

So, he patted Yu Qiao Qiao's head and said, "That's just part of it."

Yu Qiao Qiao looked up, her pretty eyes gazing at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan continued, "Another part is... you've seen, I have developed very quickly over the past year."

"All of this has come from the nation, and from our company's audience and gamers. So, I also want to give back to society and help those who should be helped, within my means."

At this point, Chen Yan timely coughed and with an understated tone said, "Of course... there's another smaller reason. Donations and charity work do provide tax benefits, and they can also advertise the company and shape brand image."

"So..."

Hearing Chen Yan's deliberately leading remarks, Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly looked like she had caught onto Chen Yan's little secret, and said, "So, that's your main reason for doing charity, isn't it?"

Chen Yan, with a burst of acting, touched his nose and spoke with an awkward tone, "It's really just a very small reason."

The expression and words of Chen Yan were like constant hints to Yu Qiao Qiao, which is why she didn't believe it.

Now she felt that Chen Yan's involvement in charity was probably for tax reasons, or to shape the brand image.

After all, if it wasn't so, Chen Yan wouldn't have looked so awkward...

However, discovering the "real reason," Yu Qiao Qiao didn't feel Chen Yan's idea was too utilitarian. She just thought that sometimes intentions aren't that important, what matters is what you do.

Even if Chen Yan was doing it for tax reasons or to shape the brand image, the money being donated wasn't fake.

It could still help people.

So, it was still doing good deeds.

Thinking this way, Yu Qiao Qiao, misled successfully by Chen Yan, said, "If that's the case, then I can help you with it, but... I don't understand these things. Could you give me some time?"

"I can ask Sister Star to take me to learn more about it."

Seeing his goal achieved, Chen Yan said with a smile, "Of course."

"There's no rush. After all, I don't have that much right now. I have to wait for the new game's revenue to come in first."

Speaking of the new game, Chen Yan began to bring up the second topic he had come to talk to Yu Qiao Qiao about, "Qiao Qiao, the game's nearly done. When are you going to transfer the property to your name?"

Hearing Chen Yan switch to this topic, Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly feigned ignorance and looked up at the ceiling, "Eh? What did you say? I can't hear you."

After speaking, she quickly lowered her head and took a bite of the Dirty Bun, saying, "Lately, I seem a bit tired and keep hearing things."

"Just eat, eat."

Chen Yan watched Yu Qiao Qiao, her face smeared like a little kitten, and smiled without continuing.

He was not in a hurry.

Giving gifts to Boss Qiao Qiao should be a gradual process.

From "sending a house after exceptional results" to "sending a house after releasing" and now to "sending a house as the game is almost done," Chen Yan was making gradual progress...

Thinking this, Chen Yan glanced at the time; it was already two in the afternoon. So he said to Yu Qiao Qiao, "Alright. Since you don't want it right now, let's talk about it again in a couple of days."

"I have a meeting at the film company later. Let's go attend it together."

Hearing the mention of serious business, Yu Qiao Qiao uttered an "Oh" and hastily stuffed the last piece of the Dirty Bun into her mouth.

Seeing her finish, Chen Yan took out a tissue and gently wiped her mouth.

Yu Qiao Qiao, who was about to look for a tissue, felt Chen Yan's considerate gesture and couldn't help but reveal a cute smile to him.

Ever since Chen Yan had started taking better and better care of her, and under the influence of Lu Man and Jiang Nanxing, Yu Qiao Qiao's smile had grown more frequent.

If it were the old her, she definitely wouldn't have acted so cutely or smiled as radiantly as now...

Half an hour later, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao arrived at Fenghua Building.

By this time, the moving company had finished, and most of the employees had settled in, starting to adapt to the new environment.

With only two companies with employees, Chen Yan directly arranged the game company on the 18th floor and the film company on the 17th floor, keeping them separate.

This was convenient for both companies' expansion and for having more functional rooms.

Such as the dance studio Lu Man needed, the indoor photo studio, Chen Yan's resting room, and so on.

As it was almost time for the meeting, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao didn't head to the game company but went directly to the 17th floor to the film company's meeting room.

When they arrived, Lu Man, Mei Li, Yang Rou, and Yang Nuannuan were already there.

Being classmates, Yang Nuannuan had some free time after the exams and had been coming to the company more often.

To be honest... Chen Yan felt that Yang Nuannuan came to the company even more often than Yu Qiao Qiao.

After the company's IPO, Yang Nuannuan temporarily replaced Xiao Wenn as Yang Rou's assistant and became the new assistant.

Xiao Wenn, in turn, became the deputy director of the newly established variety department, a successful promotion.

So, Yang Nuannuan was participating in this high-level meeting of the film company, mainly to take meeting records.

Seeing Chen Yan enter the office, everyone quickly stood up to greet him.

Even Lu Man, who was usually casual in front of Chen Yan, stood up and greeted him politely upon seeing Yu Qiao Qiao by his side...

After entering, Chen Yan slightly gestured for them to sit down and then took his place at the head of the table.

After everyone was seated, the host of the meeting, Yang Rou, began to speak, "We have four items on the agenda for this meeting."

"First, 'Twenty-Three Days of Broken Heart' has broken six hundred million and has successfully become the seventh place in this year's domestic box office rankings."

"Second, our new variety show has already made preliminary plans and selections. Everyone needs to review them."

"Thirdly, we need to discuss the subsequent development of Miss Lu Man."

"Fourth, and importantly, we need to start planning our strategy against the Xu brothers."

Hearing Yang Rou's words, everyone nodded slightly since they all knew a little bit about these issues.

Only Yu Qiao Qiao curiously glanced at Lu Man and then at Chen Yan, completely oblivious to these matters and unsure why Chen Yan brought her to this meeting...
