Chapter 141 Donations
The banquet started at eight o'clock in the evening.
Today, someone from the Medical Association was the host. During the meal, he talked a lot about the newly opened maternal and infant hospital.
Then, several famous singers were invited to sing on stage.
At the end of the banquet, when the food was removed and tea and snacks were served, the band on the dance floor also started playing music.
At this time, Aunt Hao came on stage and said a few words.
She was very polite and did not use any clichés. She only said that the maternal and infant hospital was beneficial to everyone because everyone had to have children.
With such a hospital, the mortality rate of women during childbirth can be reduced, and the mortality rate of newborns can also be reduced.
"She is a very pragmatic person," Zhu Yucheng commented.
Yun Qiao nodded.
After only three minutes, Aunt Hao finished what she wanted to say and walked off the stage gracefully.
At the main table, although the governor did not come, the governor's wife, the old lady of the Xi family, and the second wife were all present; the mayor's wife, and the third concubine of the Zhu family were also present.
Several powerful ladies were present.
The time for fundraising has also arrived.
The waiter gave everyone an envelope on which they could write their names; then, they put a cashier's check or cash in the envelope.
When he arrived at the table, Cheng Li took out a cashier's check book from his pocket, which also belonged to the Bank of England.
Yun Qiao was curious about how much he would donate, so she stretched her head to read what he was writing.
Seeing that he wrote "Shi" at the beginning, Yun Qiao was surprised.
It can't be ten yuan, it can only be ten thousand yuan.
One hundred thousand oceans is very rich.
Sure enough, the second character he wrote was ten thousand.
After he finished writing, he glanced sideways at Yun Qiao and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
His gaze was gentle and focused, as if he was doting to the extreme. Yun Qiao didn't have a father, so she always felt that the way Cheng Li looked at her was that of an overly loving old father.
She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
"It depends on how much you donate." Yun Qiao said.
Cheng Lixiao: "Don't refer to me. This hospital asked me to buy equipment, and I made a lot of money from them. What I donated was just the margin of the profit."
Yun Qiao: "..."
Even so, Yun Qiao took out the cashier's note and wrote "100,000".
Cheng Li looked at it: "It's a bit much."
"Do good deeds." Yun Qiao said, "If grandma were still alive, she would definitely be willing to give more money."
Cheng Li smiled.
After everyone finished writing, another waiter brought a small box over to collect donations from everyone.
After the fund-raising was over, some of the guests left the table and went back to sleep; some went to the wine bar to chat; some stayed where they were, drinking tea and snacks; and some slipped onto the dance floor and danced.
Yun Qiao saw that Zhu Yucheng and Cheng Li had been chatting. The two even said that they would go to a different place to drink tea. They probably had business matters to discuss.
She said: "Second brother, I'm going back first. Leave me the hotel number and I'll call you tomorrow. When you're free, I'll treat you to fish soup."
Cheng Li glanced at his watch.
It was still early, only half past nine in the evening.
"Your mother is very strict and must go home early?" Cheng Li asked.
Yun Qiao: "Not really..."
"Let's go have tea together." Cheng Li said, "Yu Cheng and I are going to listen to a play."
Zhu Yucheng stretched his head to look this way and said with a smile: "Yun Qiao, let's go together. You are more respectable than us at Luo Yunsheng's place."
Boss Luo has his back against Granny Xiao, and is considered a "same family" as Zhu Longtou. He is not afraid of Zhu Longtou, and he doesn't need to give face to the Zhu family.
"You are not fans of Boss Luo, so you don't necessarily have to ask him to sing." Yun Qiao said.
She didn't refuse.
As they were about to get up and leave the table, someone walked towards them, walking very quickly.
"Miss Yunqiao." The other party said respectfully.
Yun Qiao took a look and saw that it was Xi Rong next to Uncle Qi.
"...Master Qi asked if you have finished eating. If so, let's go back home together." Xi Rong said again.
Cheng Li and Zhu Yucheng's eyes fell on Xi Rong together, with inquiring eyes.
Especially Zhu Yucheng.
