Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fu Chen only smiled. “Miss Nie, right? Are you done?”
She gripped the blanket covering her legs with both hands, seemingly trembling with anger.
“First of all, I want to ask you. Is it my obligation to support you?”
“But you’ve also gained a good reputation, right?” she argued.
“Good reputation? You mean my reputation of being kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
!!
She was speechless.
Fu Chen’s reputation outside had always been not very good because he looked gentle but was actually domineering.
“I have no obligation to help you in the first place. I can only say that even if I withdraw my funding...”
When they heard that Fu Chen wanted to withdraw his support, their faces paled.
“Third Master Fu...” President Gao was anxious.
Fu Chen reached out his hand and motioned for him to sit down. His gaze locked onto the girl. “Miss Nie, you’re the least qualified to criticize me for decreasing my funding or canceling all my financial support.
“After all these years, you should be the person who has received the most benefits.
“I know you’re an internet celebrity now. You can go online and step on me. You can say that I’m cold and heartless. But don’t blame me when the time comes. I’ll post the funding documents to slap your face.”
She had met Fu Chen a few times, but they had rarely communicated directly. This was the first time.
She had always thought that since there were so many people around and she was a girl, Fu Chen would always be more gentle with her. She didn’t expect him to slap her face hard a few times.
He had no qualms at all.
“Regarding the bad negative impact I’ve caused you, you can publicize all the uses of the funds I’ve donated in recent years. This isn’t something shameful.
“I raised the standard and blocked a number of people. But it’s for those who really need help.
“Instead of arguing for people with ulterior motives, I think you can speak well, Miss Nie. Other than your legs not being able to move freely, you can also find another job to support yourself, right?
“If you’re so fond of being a saint and coming forward to help others so much, why don’t you give up your financial assistance?!”
This move was simply a sure-kill!
He was too ruthless.
Miss Nie’s face instantly paled.
“Actually, the root of the matter is also related to you, Miss Nie. Your comments online have smeared the reputation of your entire group.
“Back then, you tried to morally kidnap Tang Jingci and Duan Linbai. Now, instead of thinking about your own mistakes, you’re criticizing me?
“I don’t have a good reputation outside. I don’t care about accusations, verbal abuse, moral kidnapping, or anything else. They’re useless against me. If you annoy me, it will be your interests being harmed.
“After all... I’m not the one who needs help!”
Fu Chen had always been critical of contemporary problems, and he hit the nail on the head.
He wouldn’t give anyone face.
Song Fengwan had already understood the details of the matter. It was just that Fu Chen had raised the threshold for receiving financial assistance this year, causing some people not to be able to get money, so they came to fight for it.
Miss Nie might have tried to use passive-aggressive tactics against him, but unfortunately, her Third Brother didn’t fall for it.
From the first day Song Fengwan met him, and he had embarrassed Jiang Fengya, she knew that this man...
He wasn’t someone who had tender feelings for women.
In front of him, acting pitiful to gain his sympathy was useless.
He could see through people too clearly.
The word ‘saint’ had already made Miss Nie tremble.
She was an internet celebrity and was very famous in the circle. Everyone liked to look for her to do things, and she had successfully helped people solve many problems. Everyone praised her very highly. This was the first time she had encountered a wall when she went out to get financial support.
Her face was red and white, looking very embarrassed.
Just as she opened her mouth and tried to refute, Fu Chen dropped another sentence.
“I’m helping people in trouble, but I’m not opening a relief center to support people in their old age.”
Some people might only need around 200,000 yuan for surgery, but they lied and said that they needed a million yuan. This meant that they had included extra for their retirement money. Fu Chen had been busy with work in the past, so this part of the matter was handled by his subordinates.
But the design exhibition had blown up too much. Furthermore, Miss Nie’s remarks were indeed suspected of fanning the flames.
Although she was part of a vulnerable group, her back was tougher than anyone else’s.
She actually criticized him in his house?
How could Fu Chen give her face?
He was already giving President Gao face by not chasing her out directly.
President Gao smiled and came out to smooth things over. “Third Master, we all know what you mean. We’re here this time to apply for a few more financial assistance spots.”
“As long as there’s a recent diagnosis report, you can report it. I don’t have a limit on the number of people.” Fu Chen reached out to stroke the cat, his tone very calm.
President Gao smiled bitterly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the living room was already very awkward.
“Third Master, it’s time to prepare lunch...” Uncle Nian walked over and asked if they wanted to stay for lunch.
But Fu Chen got up with the cat in his arms. “I didn’t expect it to be lunchtime already.”
In fact, the content of the conversation wasn’t pleasant. Even if Fu Chen asked them to stay, they wouldn’t stay for lunch. But ordinary hosts would definitely be polite. They didn’t expect Fu Chen to be so unpredictable.
“Sorry, President Gao. I won’t keep you any longer.”
These words were obviously chasing them away.
President Gao smiled awkwardly. They were the ones who spoke too unreasonably first, so they could only admit defeat. But Fu Chen had said that he didn’t have a limit on the number of people, which was excellent news for them.
But after their first meeting with Fu Chen, they knew what kind of person he was.
He was stern-faced and cold-hearted. He had strong principles and wasn’t someone who could be swayed with a few words, let alone be afraid of rumors. This kind of person was not easy to deal with.

After the few of them left, Song Fengwan walked out from the side. “I think she was about to cry when you criticized her.”
“I haven’t said it more bluntly. She knows whose cake this new proposal touched. If I remember correctly, she only needs to take some medicine every day now. If she wants to help others so much, she can just give up the money.
“Why is she morally kidnapping me when she can’t even do it herself?
“I’m afraid...” Fu Chen grinned. “She can’t take out a recent examination report herself.”
This was because in the past, as long as the original proof materials were provided, the corresponding financial support would be distributed to all the recipients. This time, it was more strict, so most of them would definitely be removed.
Song Fengwan nodded lightly.
In the afternoon, a piece of news came out. [The most beautiful wheelchair girl gave up her financial assistance to help those who need it more.]
The so-called Fu Chen raising the threshold for receiving financial assistance was because he needed more detailed evidence. There was nothing to criticize about this. But this girl used this matter to reverse the damage to her reputation caused by Tang Jingci’s incident and was praised again.
When Song Fengwan saw the report, she recalled what Fu Chen had said.
She might not be able to produce a recent examination report.
If this was really the case, it didn’t matter if she gave up her financial assistance. She was just using this wind to clear her name.
She was really scheming.
Many people on the internet left comments saying that she was so kind and not materialistic. Actually, Song Fengwan knew very well that after this matter came out, there would definitely be businesses looking for her to discuss endorsements and attending events.
The money, benefits, and reputation that these things could bring were not something that bit of financial assistance could compare to.
Fu Chen saw her scheme and didn’t care about her. After all, she had nothing to do with him. At this moment, his mind was full of planning his engagement banquet with Song Fengwan.
Before Qiao Aiyun left the capital, she had already discussed it with the Fu family. If they wanted to hold an engagement banquet at the end of the lunar year, they didn’t have to be too extravagant. They could just invite their close relatives and friends for a meal.
Even so, Fu Chen wanted to plan it properly.
After New Year’s Day, Xu Yuanfei received a message from Fu Chen, asking her to prepare desserts as agreed.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and scolded Fu Chen for being an evil capitalist. But she still didn’t know how much impact this engagement banquet would have on her life.
