Chapter 502: Donating One Million
When Jiang Ming heard Ye Chen say he was going to donate one million, he naturally didn't believe it at all and sneered: "Ye Chen, you don't even need a draft to brag. Donating one million to the orphanage? You're just too vain to admit it. Can you even take out 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 intentionally mocking him. Thinking of the car accident, he was furious.
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, which would have been better than now.
Look at himself now, how miserable the loss was!
However, he still didn't believe Ye Chen could donate 1 million.
So he sneered: "Don't think I don't know what kind of loser you are now, a live-in son-in-law who has to rely on his wife to support him. Where can you get so much money? Are you going to rob a bank?"
Zheng Xiang, who was on the side, also chimed in: "Ye Chen, stop puffing yourself up to look like a fat man. What's the point of acting like this? Do what you can, don't go bankrupt just to act tough, and then blame us in the end!"
Ye Chen smiled indifferently: "Whether I rob a bank or what, anyway, I can still take out 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? Is it only you who has a mouth?"
The whole table was laughing loudly.
Because everyone felt that Ye Chen was just being vain.
If Ye Chen said he would donate 100,000 or 80,000, someone might believe it. After all, his wife's family had a BMW, so they probably didn't lack that money.
But to say donate one million, that 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 Auntie Li, Li Xiaofen, and his wife, Xiao Churan.
Auntie Li and Li Xiaofen knew Ye Chen's character. If it wasn't something he was sure about, he definitely wouldn't say it.
As for Xiao Churan, she was already used to it.
Ye Chen usually looked at Feng Shui for people and could earn over two million. Donating one million to the orphanage at once was also easy.
However, she did ask Ye Chen in a low voice: "Ye Chen, did you secretly look at Feng Shui for someone else behind my back again?"
Ye Chen nodded and said with a cheeky smile: "It's Auntie Han's son, Paul. Didn't this guy move his law firm to our Jin Ling? He asked me to go over and look at the Feng Shui, so I went."
Xiao Churan said awkwardly: "You even scam acquaintances? Is that appropriate?"
"How can this be called scamming?" 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 gave Ye Chen a total of 10 million.
However, 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, so 1 million was a more reasonable number.
So, Ye Chen looked at Jiang Ming and smiled faintly: "If I can really take out 1 million, will you really donate 10 million?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ming said arrogantly, almost without thinking: "If a loser like you can take out 1 million, then taking out 100 million is no problem for me!"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Wait a moment, I'll take a video as proof."
After saying that, he smiled and said to everyone: "Please take out your phones and record a video as proof!"
Hearing that there was such a good show to watch, everyone 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: "Alright, 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 would rather die than believe Ye Chen could really take out 1 million.
He estimated that the 100,000 spent on the meal just now was all the private money he had saved for several years.
Ye Chen directly took out his worn-out wallet and found the two checks Paul gave him.
He was cautious this time, checking the amount on the check clearly to confirm he was holding the 1 million one, before taking the check out.
After taking the check out, he handed it directly to Auntie Li and said: "Auntie 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, and a toy banknote was worth millions. 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 see the Yellow River, and won't shed tears until you see the coffin, then I'll fulfill your wish."
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, I lost it, and I probably can't exchange it. So, could you please transfer 1 million in cash directly to me? After I find that check, I'll return it to you."
Paul smiled: "Sure, give me an account number, I can transfer it to you now. If you can still find that check, you don't need to return it to me either!"
Ye Chen smiled: "Paul, you really do things properly, I appreciate you."
Paul smiled and said: "Master Ye, you are too polite. Give me the account number, I'll transfer it to you now."
Ye Chen said: "Check the donation account of the Jin Ling Orphanage directly, and transfer this 1 million to the orphanage's account."
Paul asked in surprise: "Master Ye, are you donating 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, the extra 1 million is my little heart!" ===== CHAPTER 503 =====
