After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 2007 No need to haggle over money anymore

"Chen Feng, you're amazing! You're actually willing to invest so much money in charity and public welfare. You're really going to become a great philanthropist. You're so great. I'm so proud of you. You truly deserve to be the man I've chosen. I love you to death."

Compared to Liu Ying's silence, Hong Xiaodan was very excited. As she spoke, she came over and hugged Chen Feng, giving him a big kiss.

If Chen Feng hadn't pushed her away, that kiss would have been a long, passionate one. Even so, Hong Xiaodan clung to him, her body weak, her arms wrapped around his. Then, looking at him with adoration, she said, "Seriously, you're amazing. I don't think even the world's richest person is as generous as you, donating so much money to charity and helping children. Especially this free children's nutrition lunch program you're promoting, it's truly incredible. Are you planning to promote it in Africa or other underdeveloped countries and regions? Are you going yourself? If you are, I'd love to go with you."

Chen Feng said, "This free children's nutrition lunch program is actually the main project of the foundation I established. The project to treat children with autism and teenagers with depression is just a side project. This project is mainly promoted in our country, so I want to spend the vast majority of the foundation's money in our country. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to go through the trouble of establishing this charitable foundation. I have handed over the specific promotion and implementation of this project to others. As the chairman, I generally don't show my face in public. I don't need to make myself famous. It's best to keep a low profile."

Hong Xiaodan asked curiously, "Then who will you entrust with promoting and implementing this project?"

Chen Feng didn't hide anything, since this matter would be made public sooner or later, and said, "It's Tang Xinyi. After all, she's a celebrity, and she has a certain degree of fame in our country. In addition, her appearance is very good. Most importantly, she used to be a female CEO, managing a company of a fairly large size, so she has management experience in this area. Therefore, I asked her to set up a professional project team in our country to promote and implement this charity project. I believe she can do a good job."

"Tang Xinyi?" Hong Xiaodan frowned slightly, looking suspicious. "Isn't she just a minor celebrity? She shouldn't be that famous, right? Although she later started a company and became a boss, it seems that the company wasn't doing very well, and she even sold it later. I didn't expect you to trust her so much, entrusting such a big project to her directly. Aren't you afraid that she'll take advantage of this project to make money?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying, who had been silent all along, immediately exploded and shouted, "You actually entrusted such a big project to her? Does Wu Mengting know about this? Did you even discuss it with her?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately became displeased and frowned as he looked at her, saying, "She has already agreed. Besides, Tang Xinyi is a very suitable candidate. Not only do I trust her, but Wu Mengting also trusts her quite a bit. In addition, she herself is now worth tens of millions, so it's impossible for her to embezzle money from this charity project. Moreover, every allocation and expenditure of this project will be recorded and audited in detail, so it's impossible for her to embezzle money."

Liu Ying suppressed her dissatisfaction and doubts, lest she truly anger Chen Feng. She could only say somewhat reluctantly, "I just feel that she is, after all, an outsider. You yourself said that you want to invest most of the foundation's funds into this charitable project. Putting her in charge, aside from whether her abilities meet the requirements, just the fact that this project involves so much money means that even with the strictest auditing and supervision, it's impossible to maintain effective oversight in the long run. Therefore, I think this project should be overseen by someone you trust very much, not handed over to an outsider. Don't you think so?"

Hong Xiaodan also sided with Liu Ying at this moment and advised, "Sister Ying is right. Tang Xinyi is indeed an outsider. I don't think you should trust her so much. Even if she has slept with you, I still think you shouldn't so hastily hand over such a large charity project to her. You must find someone else you completely trust to oversee it."

Liu Ying had known for a long time that Tang Xinyi and Chen Feng were having an affair, which was the main reason she was so unhappy that Chen Feng had entrusted this charity project to Tang Xinyi. She secretly thought to herself that this matter absolutely couldn't be settled like this. Hearing Hong Xiaodan agree with her, she immediately pressed on, saying, "Although Tang Xinyi is a celebrity, she's not exactly a big star. I think the more suitable candidate would be Yang Ziying. She's a true big star, one of the top actresses in our country. And I also know she has her own charity foundation. She has relevant experience and management skills. I think you should just hand this project over to her to handle and execute. Plus, a big star like her would find it much easier to promote, at least much easier than Tang Xinyi."

Chen Feng thought to himself: Do I not want to? But now, Yang Ziying is pregnant and she doesn't even care about the charity foundation she established. How could she possibly take care of this charity project?
Chen Feng could only say, "Yang Ziying is indeed more suitable than Tang Xinyi, but Yang Ziying has her own charitable foundation. In addition, she has already applied to study abroad. She definitely has no interest in our project."

Liu Ying immediately said, "That's not necessarily true. How do you know she's not interested if you don't ask her? If it's inconvenient for you to ask, I'll just call her and ask. I think she's more suitable than Tang Xinyi."

Chen Feng could only glance at her helplessly and say, "If you want to ask, then go ahead and ask. But I think it's pointless for you to ask; the chances are slim."

Hong Xiaodan's eyes lit up slightly as she said, "Why don't you let me participate in this charity project? I'm quite interested in it. Providing free nutritious lunches to children in impoverished areas is very meaningful, and it helps our children accumulate good karma. I've seen some videos online about children in impoverished areas, especially those in the mountains, who eat potatoes all day long, and sometimes they don't even have any. They might not even get to eat meat during holidays; it's so pitiful. Our nutritious lunch charity project is very meaningful and can help them."

Chen Feng frowned and asked, "If you participate in this charity project, what will happen to the child? Are you worried about that?"

Hong Xiaodan said, "What's there to worry about? I leave the child with my parents and a nanny, isn't that fine? Besides, I'm not involved in this program all the time. It's just that sometimes when I'm bored at home, I go and participate in this charity project to help you oversee things, or at least supervise it. Putting aside other things, I do have some experience in accounting, after all, my family owns a factory. I've been exposed to it since I was little, watching my parents do the accounting and reconciliation."

Hearing this, Liu Ying was intrigued and immediately said, "Actually, I can participate in this project too. Xiao Dan and I can take turns going over to help you supervise its implementation and execution. Xiao Dan and I are more reliable than that Tang Xinyi, right? We've both given birth to your children, you should trust us more. Don't you think so?"

Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Chen Feng pondered for a moment. These two women stayed home all day taking care of the children, which didn't seem like much of a problem. More importantly, they would occasionally use the children as an excuse to bother him.

Letting them occasionally go out and oversee the free children's lunch program seems like a pretty good idea. It would give them something to do, and it would also make things easier for him, freeing him from the daily grind of dealing with these women. So, after feigning hesitation for a while, Chen Feng reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright then, if you're really interested in this charity project, I don't mind if you join in. For details, you can contact Tang Xinyi yourselves. But before that, I need to talk to her first, and then I'll give you her contact information so you can contact her directly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying immediately became happy and asked, "So how much salary do you plan to pay us? We should keep the profits in the family. Since it's part of this foundation, you must give us high positions and high salaries."

Chen Feng agreed with her statement and immediately said, "I will appoint the two of you as deputy team leaders for this project, with an annual salary of 100 million."

This 100 million is, of course, Chinese Yuan, not US dollars, otherwise it would be considered a violation of regulations. And 100 million is actually quite a lot in China. But after all, you two have been given the title of deputy team leader, making you one of the project's responsible parties. Tang Xinyi's annual salary is 50 US dollars, while Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan only receive a few hundred thousand US dollars each, which is perfectly reasonable.

Liu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the salary Chen Feng offered.

Hong Xiaodan was also slightly surprised and asked hesitantly, "Isn't an annual salary of 100 million a bit high? It seems that the foundation can't just casually offer high salaries to people on secondment, right? I heard that the supervision and review of foundations in the United States are very strict."

Chen Feng said, "Don't worry, this salary is quite reasonable. Appointing you as deputy team leaders will make you senior executives in this project team. Even the other ordinary employees in the project team will be paid high salaries. Some of the more skilled professionals will be offered a million-dollar annual salary."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Ying felt a pang of heartache again and couldn't help but say, "Are you really this generous to others? It's unnecessary! I think this money should be spent on charity and public welfare, not on this salary."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Spending these salaries is necessary. As you probably know, to quickly promote this charity project in our country, especially in impoverished areas, we need to find influential local people to smooth things over. Therefore, it's essential to recruit these stakeholders into our project team, for example, by giving them the title of local commissioner and a salary of several hundred thousand yuan per year. Only in this way can our charity project be implemented, sustainable, and ensure that children from impoverished families can have nutritious lunches as soon as possible. These are some necessary channel fees and expenses."

Liu Ying and Hong Xiaodan weren't stupid; they immediately understood what Chen Feng meant.

Hong Xiaodan said indignantly, "We do good deeds, providing free nutritious lunches to those poor children, and we still have to pay a toll? This is really..."

"Alright!" Chen Feng interrupted her, saying, "Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future. When we do good deeds, we shouldn't be concerned about the necessary expenses, nor should we condemn others. We just need to do our job well, and as long as we can truly and quickly help those children in need, that's enough. Besides, our foundation has so much money now, and there will be even more in the future, so we should spend it quickly. Only by spending it quickly can we help more people."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Ying felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but try to dissuade him again: "You don't intend to invest even more money into this foundation and continue doing charity work, do you? I don't think it's necessary. You've already invested so much money. Even if you're kind, don't be so excessively kind. We need to spend money ourselves, and our children will need money when they grow up. You have to leave some money for our children and for ourselves, right?"

Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly. However, seeing her pained and vulnerable expression, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He stopped trying to break her defenses and said with a smile, "You know nothing about my wealth or my ability to make money. I can make money anytime I want, and a lot of money at that. So, don't worry about me not making enough money in the future, or not having enough for us to spend. Your worry is completely unnecessary. I've already told you. I've established a family trust fund in the United States, which is already worth two or three hundred million US dollars. I will continue to invest in it, and it will reach at least one billion US dollars. So, are you still worried that we won't have enough money?"

He paused, then continued, "Actually, having too much money is a burden for us. Moreover, I feel that having too much money is actually diminishing my good fortune, which is why I want to spend it all. I want to take my good fortune and luck back into my own hands. Our lives are getting better and better now, so there's really no need to worry about money anymore, let alone be so calculating about it."

This is Chen Feng's honest opinion. The reason he spends so much energy and money to establish a charitable foundation and do good deeds is not only to avoid taxes, but also to solidify his good luck and even his special abilities through charity and giving away money.

He had a deep-seated feeling that if he possessed too much money and didn't give back to society or share it, he might suffer a backlash. (End of Chapter)
