Chapter 275
The film finished.
Jeffrey was back on stage.
“I believe everyone is deeply touched after watching the film. So am I. I also shed tears numerous
times during the filming.
“Thus, I’ve decided to do whatever I could to help these children. I would like to ask you to extend a
helping hand and donate generously to give these children hope.
“I, Jeffrey Hubbard, assure you that every penny raised tonight and a taken from the film’s box office
proceeds will go to every location in the film to help build schools that can shelter the children from the
wind and rain. Thank you!”
Jeffrey gave a deep bow to the audience, which broke into thunderous applause.
David had a flash of inspiration as he applauded.
‘Build schools?
‘I can build it too, right?
‘Lavish points might not increase when I give money away, but I can turn it into something else before
donating it!’
It was just like how he donated one hundred million dollars to the charity gala in Lake City and did not
get any lavish points. His lavish points did not increase either when he gave his cousin Lily one
hundred million dollars.
However, he gained lavish points when he bought two luxurious apartments of South River
International Residence for Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana.
If he built schools and donated to the locals, he could gain lavish points.
By doing this, he would not only make East League International famous but also gain lavish points.
Most importantly, he could help the children in the poor mountainous area in the films.
He used to think that he was a grassroots member of society. Besides studying hard, he did various
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpart-time jobs to earn a living.
After attending these two parties, he realized that many people lived a hard life and had poorer study
conditions.
He was capable, so he wanted to help out as much as possible!
Then came the donation ceremony.
A QR code appeared on the screen.
They just needed to scan it with their phone to transfer the money to a public account.
They could leave their name on the remarks when transferring the money.
Besides, everyone could supervise the account, and there would be a detailed list of every transaction.
David also turned on his phone and scanned it. He donated ten million dollars but did not include his
name.
Money was only a number to him now. He did not donate more money for fear of causing unnecessary
trouble.
They would trace it back to him if he donated too much money, and what he feared most now was
trouble.
Even if it was only ten million dollars, it was still quite a bit more than the second highest donation on
the list.
David went back to his room after donating.
At this point, there was an extra ten million dollars with no name in donations.
They had to include it in the donation name list. Jeffrey asked around for a long time, but no one came
forward to admit it.
Marie was the only one who knew who the anonymous donor was!
“Marie! Is the donor David?” Hannah whispered beside Marie.
“Yeah!”
“Then why did he remain anonymous?”
“Because he doesn’t want to be famous. He’s very low-key!”
David called Pearl from his room.
Pearl’s voice soon came on the phone.
“Hey! Mr. Lidell! What’s going on?”
“How’s the recruitment going, Miss Pearl?” Asked David.
“Very good! East League International now has close to 500 employees, and I’m going to let some go.
We don’t need that many people in Springfield.”
“Okay, but you need to put what you are doing on the back of your mind first. Hold a press conference
one of these days and say that East League International is setting up a charity foundation and
allocating one hundred billion dollars to help build schools in poor mountainous areas across the
country.”
“Huh? Mr. Lidell, what do you mean by that? I can understand doing charity, which can help East
League International, but isn’t one hundred billion dollars too much? I think even a billion dollars can go
a long way. We don’t have to spend that much money!”
“It’s okay! Money is just a number to me. I’m just trying to do my part by helping those children in poor
mountainous areas. Do it as soon as you can! Take this opportunity to make East League International
a hit! It will be good for future development.”
“Okay! I’ll start the preparations now, Mr. Lidell!” Pearl said.
Since David had said so, she stopped persuading him. David had already made up his mind, and she
could only do what she was told.
Pearl was very capable at getting things done.
The next afternoon, East League International held a press conference, and many heavyweight media
outlets were invited.
Pearl announced at the press conference that East League International Group had established the
East League International Foundation, which would invest one hundred billion dollars for children in
poor mountainous areas across the country to build schools that could shelter them from wind and rain,
as well as all kinds of supporting facilities that would be fully equipped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot only that, but East League International Foundation would also subsidize teachers working in poor
areas 2,000 dollars a month each.
The news was like a bomb as soon as it came out, making millions of people dizzy and taking over
headlines at TV stations, online platforms, and news outlets.
Spending one hundred billion dollars to build schools in poor mountainous areas?
Did you know how muchomoney one hundred billion dollars was?
Did the last few of the world’s top 1,000 companies even have a market capital of one hundred billion
dollars?
How terrifying!
In other words, East League International Group was donating the amount equivalent to a company
ranked among the world’s top 1,000 companies!
Such a large donation was unheard of.
East League International used to be slightly famous in the investment world, but its popularity now
went global.
Various news media also took turns publicizing it, making East League International thoroughly popular.
People also began digging into East League International’s background, but all they could see was that
the corporate representative and chairman of East League International was named David Lidell, and
no information about David could be found. Not even a picture.
The less they could find details about David, the more mysterious David appeared, and the more
mysterious he appeared, the more curious others became of him.
David had also gotten popular in the top elite circles, but they only heard of his name and had never
met him. Only a few people know who David actually was.
David topped East League International Group’s hierarchy, followed by the general manager Pearl
Warner.
Everything about the Pearl was traceable.
She graduated from Springfield University with a degree in Economics and Management and then
worked for Golden Leaf Hotel in South River Province’s River City as lobby manager. Finally, the owner
of Golden Leaf Hotel and also the chairman of East League International, David recognized her abilities
and promoted her to the general manager of East League International.
