Chapter 502: Donating One Million

Jiang Ming, hearing Ye Chen say he wanted to donate one million, naturally didn't believe it at all. He sneered, "Ye Chen, you don't even need a draft when you brag. Donating one million to the orphanage? You're so desperate to save face that you won't even admit it. Can you even come up with one million?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Since I said it, I will definitely fulfill it. I can't be like you, finding a place to have a car accident to get out of it!"

Jiang Ming knew Ye Chen was deliberately mocking him. Thinking of the car crash, he felt hatred.

If he had known it would be like this, he really wouldn't have played this trick. At worst, he would have donated a car; it would still be better than now.

Look at how miserable his losses were now!

However, he still didn't believe Ye Chen could donate 1 million.

So he sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're like now. A live-in son-in-law who has to rely on his wife to support him—where would you get so much money? Are you going to rob a bank?"

Zheng Xiang, who was on the side, also helped out, "Ye Chen, stop puffing yourself up. What's the point of acting like this? Do what you can. Don't go bankrupt just to act pretentious, and then blame us in the end!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "Whether I rob a bank or what, anyway, I can still come up with one million. But you, if I can donate one million, how much will you donate?"

Jiang Ming mocked, "If you can donate one million, I can donate ten million. Who can't brag? Do you think you're the only one with a mouth?"

The whole table burst into laughter.

Because everyone felt that Ye Chen was just desperate to save face.

If Ye Chen said he would donate 100,000 or 80,000, someone might believe it. After all, his wife at least had a BMW, so he probably wouldn't be short of that money.

But saying he would donate one million was a bit unrealistic. Even selling that BMW wouldn't be enough!

Among these people, the only ones who could truly trust Ye Chen were Aunt Li, Li Xiaofen, and his wife, Xiao Churan.

Aunt Li and Li Xiaofen knew Ye Chen's character. If it wasn't something he was sure of, he definitely wouldn't say it.

As for Xiao Churan, she was already used to it.

Ye Chen usually earned over two million just by looking at feng shui for people. Donating one million to the orphanage at once was also an easy task.

However, she did ask Ye Chen in a low voice, "Ye Chen, did you go behind my back to look at feng shui for others again?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a cheeky smile, "It's just Aunt Han's son, Paul. Didn't this guy bring his law firm to our Jin Ling? He invited me to look at the feng shui, so I went."

Xiao Churan said awkwardly, "You even swindle acquaintances? Is that appropriate?"

"How can this be called swindling?" Ye Chen said seriously, "It's mutual consent!"

Xiao Churan was helpless and asked, "How much money did you ask for?"

Ye Chen chuckled, "One million."

Xiao Churan rubbed her temples, "You're so dark... asking for so much from an acquaintance..."

Actually, Xiao Churan didn't know that Paul had given Ye Chen a total of 10 million.

But this 10 million was given in two installments.

First, he gave a check for 1 million.

Then he added another check for 9 million.

Ye Chen originally felt that even if he donated all 10 million to the orphanage, it wouldn't matter.

But the key was that if he rashly took out 10 million with so many people watching, it would be really hard to explain.

It was also hard to explain to Xiao Churan. After all, the number was too big. 1 million was a more reasonable number.

So, Ye Chen looked at Jiang Ming and smiled indifferently, "If I can really come up with 1 million, will you really donate 10 million?"

"Yes!" Jiang Ming said arrogantly, almost without thinking, "If a loser like you can come up with 1 million, then it's no problem for me to take out 100 million!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Wait a moment, I'll take a video as a witness."

After saying that, he smiled at everyone, "Please take out your phones and record a video as a witness!"

Hearing that there was such a good show to watch, they all took out their phones and opened the video recording function.

Ye Chen said indifferently, "I, Ye Chen, voluntarily donate 1 million RMB to the Jin Ling Orphanage. As long as I donate this 1 million, Jiang Ming next to me is willing to donate 10 million RMB. Today, I ask everyone here to be a witness. If either of us goes back on our word, we are willing to suffer the spurning and contempt of all the people in China!"

Jiang Ming sneered, "Good, but you have to take out the 1 million first. As long as you take out this 1 million, I will donate the 10 million immediately!"

Jiang Ming wouldn't believe even if he died that Ye Chen could really come up with 1 million.

He reckoned that the 100,000 yuan spent on the meal just now was all the private money he had saved for several years.

Ye Chen took out his old wallet directly and found the two checks Paul had given him.

He kept an eye on it this time, looked clearly at the amount on the check, confirmed that the one he was holding was the 1 million one, and then took out the check.

After taking out the check, he handed it directly to Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, this cash check can be exchanged for 1 million in cash at the bank at any time. Please accept it."

Jiang Ming curled his lips and sneered disdainfully, "You just took out a piece of scrap paper and said it's a 1 million cash check. Are you kidding me?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "You don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, verify it!"

Jiang Ming sneered, "Of course I don't believe it. When I was young, I played Monopoly. Toy banknotes were worth millions each. Should I also take a few out to donate? Besides, I'm not from the bank. How would I know how to verify the authenticity of a check?"

Ye Chen smiled helplessly and nodded, "Since you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, then I will fulfill you."

After saying that, he took out his phone and called Paul.

Paul answered the phone and said very respectfully, "Master Ye."

Ye Chen smiled, "Paul, I have something, sorry to trouble you."

Paul hurriedly said, "Master Ye, please speak."

Ye Chen said, "The 1 million check you gave me was lost by me and might not be exchangeable. So, could I trouble you to transfer 1 million in cash directly to me? After I find that check, I will return it to you."

Paul smiled, "That's fine. Give me an account number, and I can transfer it to you now. If you can still find that check, you don't need to return it to me!"

Ye Chen smiled, "Paul, you really do things properly. I appreciate you."

Paul smiled and said, "Master Ye, you're too polite. Give me the account number, and I'll transfer it to you now."

Ye Chen said, "Check the donation account of the Jin Ling Orphanage directly, and then transfer this 1 million to the orphanage's account."

Paul asked in surprise, "Master Ye, are you going to donate to the orphanage?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said indifferently, "I grew up in this orphanage."

Paul immediately said, "So that's it! Master Ye, don't worry, I'll transfer the money to the orphanage now. I'll transfer 2 million over. The remaining 1 million is my little heart!"
