Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Chu Chen Shocks the Entire Venue, How Much Did Young Master Kong Donate?

No, I’m afraid even ten million is overestimating him; at most, he’ll donate two or three million.

Donating such a small amount of money, Chu Chen probably would become the laughingstock of the entire charity banquet.

"Really, shall we wait and see?"

Chu Chen replied calmly, not wanting to argue further with Kong Yongfeng here, just playing along verbally.

"Heh."

Kong Yongfeng sneered coldly; he really didn’t think much of this little-known figure whom even the Kong Family hadn’t heard of.

At this charity banquet, he was determined to make a big splash.

"Wait and see."

With a sneer, Kong Yongfeng held his glass of red wine and swaggered away.

"Hmph."

Lv Junliang snorted, speaking up,

"Mr. Chu, this Kong Yongfeng is just a junior, you shouldn’t take him seriously."

"At this charity banquet, the Kong Family sent Kong Yongfeng, very likely to give him a chance to shine, thus expanding his connections."

"To earn a reputation for Kong Yongfeng as the future leader of the Kong Family."

"It’s very likely the Kong Family has prepared a large sum of money for him, so don’t let him provoke you into anger."

"How much you donate is up to your own ability, don’t act recklessly."

Lv Junliang kindly reminded Chu Chen.

Mr. Chu was also young, full of vigor, and Lv Junliang feared that Chu Chen might get carried away in his rivalry with Kong Yongfeng and donate more money than he could afford in a moment of impulsive passion.

"This time, our Tangchen Group is prepared with thirty million. Their Kong Family will offer several times more."

"No worries."

Chu Chen waved it off.

With the "Tenfold Rebate Card" from the system as a safety net,

no matter how much Kong Yongfeng donated, Chu Chen naturally would not be afraid.

Soon, the highlight of the charity banquet began.

A silver-haired, somewhat weathered old man, made his entrance under the gaze of the crowd.

He was the famous businessman philanthropist from Shanghai, Elder Li.

For the sake of charity, Elder Li had specially established a charitable organization solely responsible for donations.

"Thank you all for coming."

Elder Li took the stage, explaining.

The purposes of this donation were mainly threefold: firstly, to build Hope Primary Schools for children in mountainous areas, secondly, to build orphanages and nursing homes for the homeless children and elderly...

Over the years, Elder Li had also donated a lot, thus everyone trusted him.

After Elder Li finished speaking, the millionaires and big shots of Shanghai also began to contribute.

"Elder Li has worked hard. This time, our Bai Family is willing to donate twenty million."

"Our Haolin Group is willing to donate forty million for the children."

...

Regardless of the intentions, these wealthy folks truly donated a significant amount.

Among them, Qijing Group from Shanghai donated the most, a whopping hundred million!

"Our Kong Family is willing to donate three hundred million."

Just as everyone was in awe of Qijing Group’s generosity, a sudden voice chimed in.

Under everyone’s gaze, Kong Yongfeng slowly stood up, ostentatiously declaring,

"Our Kong Family is willing to contribute to charity with our heartfelt love."

Despite the grand words, in reality, Kong Yongfeng was just showing off, trying to expand his connections.

Using three hundred million to gain favor with Elder Li and these moguls and wealthy individuals was definitely worth it.

"What, three hundred million?!"

"The Kong Family is actually donating three hundred million this time!"

"We underestimated the Kong Family."

"Admire, admire."

After hearing Kong Yongfeng’s words, the scene instantly fell into a flurry of chatter.

Countless wealthy individuals looked at Kong Yongfeng in great admiration.

They realized they had underestimated the Kong Family.

They decided that after the fundraising ended, they should get to know this young Turan hero, Kong Yongfeng.

"Three hundred million?!"

Even Elder Li was very excited, saying with a smile,

"Thank you so much, dear nephew from the Kong Family."

"Oh, not at all, just a small amount."

Kong Yongfeng replied smugly.

"It seems everyone has donated, except there’s one person who hasn’t given a cent."

Suddenly, Kong Yongfeng attacked.

He had been eyeing Chu Chen for a long time.

Before, he thought Chu Chen would donate a few million, but he hadn’t expected to overestimate him.

He hadn’t donated a single cent—truly a penny-pincher.

"Not donating a penny yet daring to attend this charity banquet, that’s as thick-skinned as a city wall."

Kong Yongfeng mocked as he looked at Chu Chen.

Looking at Chu Chen, the other guests were also filled with disdain.

Although Elder Li’s charity banquet did not impose any mandatory donation requirements, those who attended were certainly not ordinary individuals.

Not donating even a penny was simply unacceptable.

Stinginess, to such an extreme!

"No worries, no worries."

Elder Li stepped out to ease the tension.

"As long as there is sincerity, that’s what matters; it ultimately depends on one’s ability."

"One must not be forced."

Elder Li assumed Chu Chen might have some special reasons, so he defended him.

"Who said I’m not donating?"

A questioning voice echoed.

"Charity is not measured by how much is given, but by conscience and circumstances."

Chu Chen spoke calmly,

"I haven’t donated much, just a billion."

While speaking, Chu Chen wrote a check and directly handed it to Elder Li.

Looking at the ten-billion check in his hand, even Elder Li was dumbfounded.

Over the years, it was his first time seeing such a massive donation.

After all, this was just a small fundraising event for love, not for disaster relief donations or such.

I haven’t donated much, just a billion, huh?!

Donating ten billion, yet not much?!

Then how much would be considered a lot!

Looking at the check in Elder Li’s hand, the guests widened their eyes in utter shock.

"Young Kong is so impressive; I donated ten billion. What about Young Kong?!"
