Ye Cheng smiled.

All of this, was it not within his grasp?

Li Qinghe being so infuriated, what did that signify?

Was it not because Xu Fan had donated an embarrassingly small amount, making her, Li Qinghe, feel humiliated as well?

To hit someone, hit their face - since Xu Fan dared to disrespect him, he had to slap his damn face hard!

"Writing 'Lei Feng'? Xu, do you even deserve to be called Lei Feng?"

After a brief glance at the large characters "Lei Feng" written by Xu Fan on the donation board, Ye Cheng snorted coldly and started giving commands.

"Li Qinghe! Now, read it out loud! This guy, how much did he donate to those displaced orphans!"

With a loud reprimand, Ye Cheng's inner Qi burst out, leaving no room for anyone to refuse!

He was not worried that Li Qinghe would defy him. If she, Li Qinghe, refused to read, he would take matters into his own hands!

"Xu Fan..."

Contrary to Ye Cheng's expectation, Li Qinghe did not resist.

Taking the donation board, she took a deep breath, her Qi sinking into Dantian, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, she began to read it aloud.

"Xu Fan donated five billion to homeless children!"

The voice was loud, and under Li Qinghe's compelling announcement, it reached the ears of everyone present.

"What... what?"

The figure of five billion, in that moment, caused a sensational stir!

Ye Cheng was stunned.

Lu Jun was stunned.

Old Master Li was stunned, and all the people below were stunned!

Even though everyone present had fortunes not smaller than this figure, the number that Li Qinghe blurted out still left them speechless.

A whole five billion, this figure was many times higher than what Ye Cheng had contributed!

More importantly, Xu Fan donated this money not for seeking fame or fishing for praise, but purely to help those children!

What a noble character?

Had it not been for Ye Cheng acting like a clown on stage, perhaps no one would have known about his good deeds tonight.

Clap, clap, clap.

Within the crowd, suddenly, a modest applause started, followed by everyone else, clapping for Xu Fan.

In a moment, the applause was thunderous, and the elites gathered here in Shanghai tonight all looked up at Xu Fan in admiration.

They admired not just his generosity.

Five billion, donating so decisively, who else could match such courage?

"Brother, you are amazing."

Joining in the applause, Feng Huang, with stars twinkling in her eyes, looked towards Xu Fan.

She was well aware that a big reason Xu Fan donated this money was the story she had shared with him a while ago.

"I really didn't expect that among us, there was such a great benevolent person hidden away, Xu Fan, why don't you come up and say a few words?"

At that moment, Li Qinghe, holding the microphone, actively invited Xu Fan.

Her feelings at this moment were complicated: relieved that Xu Fan had evaded danger and also proud of him.

Today all the influential figures of Shanghai were assembled, but which one of them could compare to him, Xu Fan?

"Brother Xu Fan, come up and say a few words?"

"The old saying holds true, young heroes have always emerged since ancient times. Xu Fan, well done, I respect you!"

Following Li Qinghe's lead, one after another, the people below invited Xu Fan up.

Such genuine words of reverence, when heard by Ye Cheng, felt particularly bitter.

At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and just crawl into it!

He had thought he would be the star of the event today, but little did he know, he would embarrass himself this badly!

"For me, Xu Fan, they are all esteemed seniors. What more could I possibly say?"

Unable to refuse the overwhelming kindness, Xu Fan reluctantly stepped up, pushed by the crowd.

As Xu Fan approached, Ye Cheng clenched his fists tightly, his face swelling to the color of a liver!

Never in his life had he been so embarrassed!

"The reason I didn't put down my name earlier was mainly to avoid putting pressure on everyone."

Unconcerned with Ye Cheng's changing expressions nearby, Xu Fan now stood on the stage, looked at the admiring crowd, and earnestly said, "After all, the main purpose of charity is to help others, not to compete."

"We can't say that because I donate five hundred million, everyone else must donate that much. That would twist its purpose."

In just a few sentences, spoken so lightly and calmly, Ye Cheng on the side listened, and it pained him...

Damn it, what an act...

Clenching his fists, he grumbled uncomfortably, only to see Xu Fan looking his way.

"You... why are you looking at me?"

Having just cursed at Xu Fan, Ye Cheng now looked at him and could not help but feel nervous.

This guy, he wouldn't be seeking revenge, would he?

"Young Master Ye, don't be so scared."

Looking calmly at a timid Ye Cheng, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Earlier you mentioned settling accounts with me. I, Xu Fan, am waiting. After all, I also want to experience the renown of the Ye Family from Hong Kong Island."

"But today, here I am, thanking you on behalf of those children struggling in the mire for your ninety million donation."

"..."

Xu Fan's gratitude made Ye Cheng feel extremely uncomfortable.

The grand display he had put on the stage earlier paled in comparison to Xu Fan's speech.

Without a doubt, Xu Fan had stolen all the spotlight tonight...

Feeling defeated and depressed, he watched as the crowd below burst into thunderous applause following Xu Fan's speech.

Although Ye Cheng was utterly reluctant, he still managed to squeeze out a smile.

The setback tonight was something he just had to accept.

The charity gala was drawing to a close this evening.

Next, the donations would be managed by the designated staff and allocated to the children in need.

"Look at you, such a charitable heart after all," teased Li Qinghe as the guests had nearly all left, moving closer to Xu Fan.

At the gala tonight, she had donated forty million and taken charge of hosting the event, contributing significantly. But compared to Xu Fan, there was still a substantial gap.

At this moment, she genuinely admired Xu Fan.

"What's my little bit of kindness in the grand scheme of things?"

Xu Fan shrugged indifferently, not taking it to heart.

He was well aware that what he did was nothing compared to Feng Huang's contributions.

"Alright, your grandfather is waiting for you over there. Don't let me, a handsome man, keep the old man up late."

Before Li Qinghe could figure out something else to chat with Xu Fan about, he urged her on.

"You know, Xu Fan, you're really terrible at making conversation," she protested.

She made the effort to come over, and this guy still wasn't pleased?

Angry, Li Qinghe stomped on Xu Fan's foot hard before leaving.

"Hm?"

Looking down at his foot in pain, Xu Fan noticed an invitation letter fallen on the ground, and he couldn't help but frown...
