Chapter 552: Carve Out A Piece Of Flesh

The Wu Family had sustained a great loss. While Wu Qi was contacting his friends, asking for help from them, he told Wu Zhiheng to contact the Mu Family and inquire about the process of the movie.

As for the Mu Family, after Mu Changqing had been set up by Fu Zhi to donate 100 million to the children in the mountainous area, the reporters from CCTV personally brought the Mu Family’s public relations team to donate the money to them.

When Mu Changqing received the news, the Mu Corporation had been mentioned on Weibo’s hot topic three times because of the philanthropic act.

Generally speaking, other than those top celebrities under the Mu Corporation, the rest of the celebrities would spend some money to keep their names on Weibo’s hot topic so that their names remained fresh in the public’s mind.

In other words, although it was a lot of money, Mu Changqing could treat this donation as a way to publicize his company, not to mention that he could ride on this opportunity to promote their movie as well.

Mu Changqing pointed at his security and said, “Come, read me how those netizens praised the Mu Corporation.”

The security pulled his phone out and opened up the video of CCTV’s reporters interviewing the children in the mountainous area.

The content of the video was the same as any other donation videos that exist in the world. They donated the money, took some pictures, had an interview session, and then they went on their merry way.

The secretary pulled up the comment section and read out loud, “Who is this reporter? She’s so pretty!

“Let’s thank Fu Zhi for her kindness. She’s really the kindest girl in the world!”

“Five million is all of her money, right? How can she be so rich since she’s only a high school girl? She’s really good at making money!”

“I’ve officially become Fu Zhi’s fan. She also gave these kids textbooks, new shoes and socks, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and even candles! Those mountainous regions don’t have a good electricity supply, and the candles really are on point!”

“Why are you reading these comments to me? I don’t care about her, you know?” Mu Changqing interrupted.

“But President Mu, these are the comments under our post...” The secretary replied. He kept scrolling through the comments section and then he finally found a comment about the Mu Corporation. “Did the Mu Corporation really donate 100 million? This is not just for show, right? After all, they’re exposed by their competitor for charity fraud several years ago. I’m kinda worried that they would do the same this time.”

“What did you say?! Say that again?” Mu Changqing’s face grew stern as he snapped out at the secretary.

The secretary took two steps back and said, “That’s what the netizens said. It’s not me.”

Mu Changqing’s expression grew grim. He took the secretary’s phone and played the video.

Inside the video, as the reporter highlighted the five million that Fu Zhi has donated, she asked for verification from the village chief about the donation amount that the Mu Corporation had been donating to them five years ago.

The village chief was a humble man. He denied the false rumors that the Mu Family had donated to them five years ago. Then, he continued, “Who is Ms. Fu? Every time when the people from the Mu Corporation came here, they would ask for a photo-op with the kids after they gave us 100 torchlights. Does Ms. Fu want to take photos with our kids? They want to see her badly.”

“Do they not want to see President Mu?” The reporter asked, “President Mu really wants to donate 100 million to the kids.”

“100 million is a little bit too much, to be honest. Our village is not the biggest village, and what we need the most is educational support instead of financial help. He should’ve split the money and donated to other areas that need help. In any case, we’ll not forget everything that President Mu has done for our children. I’m sure they will also contribute back to the poor areas after they’ve become successful in the future.”

“Do you know that Ms. Fu is working on a new movie? We’ll discuss this with Ms. Fu so that the kids in the village will have a chance to read the book “Red Sun”. It has been...”

Mu Changqing did not wish to continue watching the rest of the video.

After the reporters of CCTV bade the kids in the village goodbye, they admonished a certain company for their lack of sincerity in donation as well as praised Fu Zhi for her donation.

In the comment section:

[Wow! Zhizhi is really such a good girl! I will certainly go and watch “Red Sun” when it’s released!]

[I’m sorry, but what does the Mu Corporation do?]

[They are a movie production company. They have produced quite a lot of good movies in the past such as “The Animals”, “Painer Than Pain”, and “Great Times 1234”.]

[No matter how good their movies are, the way they do things really makes me sick. No one forces them to donate, but they should never fake their donation.]

...

Although Mu Changqing inherited the company from his father, he was always one step behind the Lu Family in terms of their performance.

He faked the donation, but there was no denying that he was a conniving businessman who was graced by the lucky goddess until he met Fu Zhi.

100 million was not a small amount for him, but after he donated the money, not only did he not receive praise or respect from the public, but he was reprimanded by the public after the reporters from CCTV exposed his fraudulent act.

It had been quite some time after Fu Zhi participated in the Mu Family’s gathering, and this could show that the reporters from CCTV had done plenty of homework before the video was released.

The top three hot topics on Weibo were about the Mu Corporation’s donation scam and Fu Zhi’s down-to-earth attitude and her proactiveness when it came to donations.

Mu Changqing hated when someone compared him to the Mu Family. In the past, Lu Jingqing beat him in every aspect, and now, it was Fu Zhi’s turn.

“Donation scam? Why must they all be such nitpickers? Didn’t I already donate 100 million this year? And Fu Zhi, who the hell is she? Why is CCTV helping her to promote her movie? Can I report them?”

“Well... It seems to me that Fu Zhi is somewhat related to the government,” the secretary reminded, “In any case, I don’t think we can achieve anything even if we report CCTV. It seems to me that Fu Zhi has a lot of connections in the government.”

Mu Changqing became speechless.

‘So are you saying that I should stay silent and do nothing and let those people abuse me on the internet while Fu Zhi gets all the praise?’

In the meantime, Wu Zhiheng’s call came in. “Is this President Mu?”

“Yes, it’s me. Your unlucky brother.”

Meanwhile, in Iris Time Villa.

After Gu Yanqi took Fu Zhi out from the villa, he asked, “I heard that you’ve gotten four Grade S jades from the Lucky Cloud Pavilion?”

He also heard about the things that Chu Yunsheng did, but he did not dare to ask it.

Fu Zhi nodded without any hesitation. “It’s all thanks to Master Chu that you introduced me. He’s really a good person who likes to give me money.”

Gu Yanqi chuckled.

“The Zheng Family has organized a banquet in the Lucky Cloud Pavilion. I’m going with Nanli, do you want to tag along?”

Gu Yanqi wouldn’t want Fu Zhi to go to a banquet like this in the past. After all, in addition to talking about women, sports cars, wines, and watches, they would only engage in other activities such as playing darts or gambling.

Besides, the people in the Zheng Family were highly accomplished cardsharps, and even Gu Yanqi would not be able to gain any advantage from them.

Fu Zhi knew that the Zheng Family had something to do with the ambush a few days ago.

She nodded and went into the Li Mansion.

It was 5:00 pm right now. The people from the Shadow Corp were having dinner, and they all came to a sudden stop when they saw Fu Zhi.

Xiang Qian was the first one to greet Fu Zhi. He waved his arm at her and said, “Sister Zhi, have you...”

He stopped midway through his sentence and turned his head back. Fu Zhi lifted her brows and looked in the direction of Xiang Qian’s eye.

There was another group of men on another table. Jiang Jinshu was there as well. All of them had bruised noses and swollen faces as if they had just gone through a vicious battle. Some of them even have bullet wounds on their bodies.

Jiang Jinshu was in a bad mood, and his expression darkened when he saw Fu Zhi. He growled, “Don’t you guys know that you can speak when you’re eating?”

Gu Yanqi frowned at Jiang Jinshu. He turned to Fu Zhi and explained, “Something happened when they’re keeping an eye on the Zheng Family. The Zheng Family thought they’re intruders and they had a fight...”

Fu Zhi then said expressionlessly, “So they lost? Besides, we’re going to join the banquet held by the Zheng Family later. There’s no way they will sit idly and I’m sure they are up to something no good. There’s also a good chance that we might engage them in a fight again, and you expect this group of people to fight back?”

Jiang Jinshu’s face darkened as he could not accept the things she said. He threw the chopsticks onto the table and shot up from his chair. “Ms. Fu! I’m certain that you wouldn’t be able to retreat in one piece from an ambush by the main force of the Zheng Family without preparation, so I advise you to keep your mouth shut since you don’t know what we’ve gone through!”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

‘Just because you can’t do it and you assume that I can’t do it as well? What kind of reasoning is that?’

“Besides,” Jiang Jinshu continued, “Had it not been for you to ask us to keep an eye on Old Master Zheng, none of this would’ve happened.”
