After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 2022 Spending Money Wisely

Chen Feng recognized Tang Xinyi's work ability, which meant he hadn't misjudged her.

Chen Feng didn't expect that this charity project would reach the stage of concrete implementation and execution so quickly.

Chen Feng was naturally very satisfied with her work, and then asked curiously, "What are the names of these two people?"

Tang Xinyi said, "The older one, Gan Maoen, used to work at Hongshizi, and the younger one, Li Shanxue. They are both very reliable. Before calling them for interviews, I had the headhunting company conduct background checks. Their experiences are basically true, especially Gan Maoen, who did work at Hongshizi for over ten years and did indeed help and sponsor many out-of-school children. As for Li Shanxue, his experience is even simpler, since he only graduated less than two years ago. I have a very good impression of them, so I trust them and have them go to Ganzhou Province to investigate first. Once our certificates are officially issued, they can officially start working there. I've already asked someone to urge the relevant departments, and we should receive our registration certificates and other related documents as early as Monday."

Tang Xinyi had been operating in Xiuzhou for many years and had established a certain network of connections. In addition, their organization was a non-profit charitable institution that carried out charitable projects such as free children's nutritious lunches, not to mention the endorsement of a United Nations charity.

Therefore, once you complete the standard registration process here, pass the review, and receive the registration certificate, you can begin formal charitable activities. Of course, if you strictly follow the established procedures to obtain the certificate, it may take longer. However, with the help of certain connections, the time can be significantly reduced.

Therefore, Tang Xinyi is confident that she will receive the certificate next Monday, and then their Qiming Charity Foundation's branch here can officially begin charitable and public welfare activities. Currently, their only charitable project is free children's nutritious lunches, and Ganzhou Province will be the first pilot site.

Seeing Tang Xinyi's trust in the two, Chen Feng naturally agreed, nodding and saying, "That's good. I believe you haven't misjudged them. As long as these two can actually get things done, their abilities are secondary; reliability and kindness are the most important. Of course, necessary supervision is also required. When the funds are transferred, the company should send at least two people—a cashier and an accountant, or even an auditor—to supervise the expenditure of every sum of money and prevent anyone from embezzling funds."

Tang Xinyi immediately nodded and said, "Of course. I only gave them 1 yuan for the activity in the early stage, including travel and accommodation expenses. The two of them supervise and cooperate with each other, so they definitely won't do anything out of line. Besides, they are doing charity work, spending money, not making money. I believe that as long as the locals are of sound mind, they will welcome them very much."

Chen Feng nodded, no longer pursuing the topic, and said with a smile, "Alright, it's getting late, you should hurry up and get something to eat. It's almost 6 o'clock, aren't you hungry yet?"

Chen Feng's reminder made Tang Xinyi realize that she was indeed a little hungry. She could only smile and go to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

It's almost done cooking. It's just a bowl of noodles, a fried egg, some shredded meat, diced mushrooms, and stuff like that. It's very simple, but it looks like it should taste alright.

Tang Xinyi brought her bowl over and sat down on the sofa. While eating, she continued chatting with Chen Feng: "As the boss, don't you want to come with me to the company for a tour and inspection?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I won't go. I was originally planning to show my face, but then I thought about it and realized it's really unnecessary. I'll let you go. I don't want to be chased by the media or followed by paparazzi. You know my private life isn't great right now, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Chen Feng had indeed considered making an appearance or giving a presentation, but later decided against it; there was really no need for him to show his face. His reason for doing charity work was simply to avoid spending the money abroad, so he used the guise of charity to bring the money into China. Even if the money wasn't spent on these charitable projects, it would still be turned over to the national treasury by the IRS in the US, which was undoubtedly even more unacceptable to Chen Feng. Now that there was a loophole to exploit, Chen Feng was determined to take full advantage of it.

Tang Xinyi didn't insist when Chen Feng said that. Of course, she knew that Chen Feng's private life was indeed too colorful. If it were exposed that he was living with two women, it would be a huge blow to his image. So it was better for him not to be known.

Furthermore, there's no doubt that she also had some selfish motives. If Chen Feng, the real behind-the-scenes boss, were to step into the limelight, he would completely steal the spotlight from her as his agent. But now that she, as his agent, is in the limelight, and given that she's already a minor celebrity, she'll undoubtedly be able to gain a lot of attention and positive publicity, even prestige—something she's been pursuing all these years.

Chen Feng is not a celebrity, so he doesn't need this kind of fame or any reputation for charity.

So Tang Xinyi didn't try to persuade her any further. While eating her noodles, she naturally changed the subject: "Your trip to Dabudian went smoothly, didn't it?"

Although she didn't know exactly what Chen Feng was doing there, she was still a little curious and couldn't help but want to find out a bit.

Chen Feng casually replied, "It went fairly smoothly. I made some money over there, so at least it wasn't a wasted trip."

Tang Xinyi then asked naturally, "So how much money did you make?"

Chen Feng glanced at her and then said, "Not much, just a few tens of millions of pounds."

Tang Xinyi almost choked on the mouthful of noodles she was holding, but thankfully she managed to swallow it whole. Once she caught her breath, she asked in surprise, "Are you kidding me? Tens of millions of pounds? That's over a hundred million!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking? I make money very easily, I've told you that before."

Tang Xinyi then asked, "So how do you make money?"

Chen Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you for now. I'll tell you when the time is right."

Tang Xinyi was even more curious, but she also knew Chen Feng's personality. Since he himself was unwilling to talk about it, if she continued to pry, she might only annoy him. So, somewhat frustrated, she stopped asking.

Tang Xinyi was probably quite hungry, and since she was also very familiar with Chen Feng, she didn't try to act like a lady in front of him. She ate the noodles and drank the soup heartily. In just five or six minutes, she finished a large bowl of noodles and even let out a satisfied burp. Then, she suddenly realized that she had been too unladylike and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, then slowly and deliberately wiped her mouth with a tissue. Somewhat embarrassed, she said, "I was really hungry just now, so I wolfed it down. It seemed very rude of me. Wasn't that ugly?"

Chen Feng laughed and said, "A beauty like you is beautiful even when picking your nose, let alone eating noodles with gusto. Besides, you're treating me like family, which makes me quite happy."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the one who looks beautiful when you pick your nose. Who looks beautiful when they pick their nose? Besides, I don't pick my nose, at least I don't use my fingers to pick my nose."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng laughed and said, "You're talking nonsense. I don't believe you can pick your nose without using your fingers. So how do you do it?"

Tang Xinyi blushed slightly and retorted, "Use cotton swabs or tissues! Your fingers are so dirty. Besides, I always get my nails done. How can you pick your nose with your nails done? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, it's really disgusting. Luckily, I just finished eating noodles. If I had been eating them just now, your words would have made me lose my appetite."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I trust you completely with work matters, and I'll entrust everything to you from now on. If you need money, just contact Sister Qianru directly and have her transfer the funds to you. Don't worry about spending money. But make sure to spend it wisely, on genuine charity and public welfare. If you need more staff, just keep hiring; if you need connections, just spend money. Of course, if you encounter any unreasonable or difficult situations, just contact me, and I'll help you resolve them."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xinyi's confidence soared, and she nodded, saying, "Great, I'm relieved to hear you say that, boss. If this were in Xiuzhou, and since we're running a charity project that's not for profit, I believe no one would be foolish enough to target us. But looking across the country, especially in those poor and underdeveloped areas, there might be some who are just as foolish. And since the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, some people there might really cause trouble. Our idea of ​​finding local agents and consultants, while good, might not solve everything."

Chen Feng nodded and said, "As long as most things can be resolved, that's fine. As for the agents and consultants, we first need to find suitable targets through local connections. They need to have real, strong connections locally, at least in the local charitable sector. If necessary, we can offer the agent or consultant a high salary, a minimum of 100,000 yuan per year, but no more than 200,000 yuan. If they don't even want 200,000 yuan, then we can simply find another way or find someone else. I believe there are plenty of people like that, as long as you offer them 100,000 to 200,000 yuan."

Tang Xinyi said, "I know that these extra expenses are unavoidable in order to promote and implement this free nutritious lunch program as soon as possible. You're right, we really can't offer too high a reward. 20 is indeed the maximum. After all, we are a non-profit charity and can't spend this money on these extra expenses. If some areas don't need such agents or consultants, then we don't necessarily need to find them. We should save money where we can."

Chen Feng nodded in agreement. The two then chatted for a while about the foundation.

Then, Tang Xinyi suddenly reached out and tossed her hair, smiling as she asked, "I want to take a shower, do you want to come with me?"

Chen Feng immediately stood up with a smile and walked towards her. The two smiled at each other, and Tang Xinyi said in a slightly coquettish tone, "You're quite strong. I'm a little tired. Can you carry me over?"

Without saying a word, Chen Feng stepped forward and gave her a princess carry, easily lifting her up and walking towards the bathroom.

More than two hours later, Chen Feng finally left Tang Xinyi's place and returned to his home in Zijinyuan. It was already 9 p.m. Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting were still awake, watching TV together downstairs.

Upon seeing him return, Sun Xiaorui greeted him, "You're back."

Wu Mengting didn't even glance at him, her eyes fixed on the television, which was currently showing commercials.

Chen Feng knew Wu Mengting was a little unhappy again, and the reason was simple. When Chen Feng contacted her earlier, he was at home, but when they returned from the movie, he wasn't there. This felt somewhat like he'd stood her up, mainly because he hadn't told her beforehand.

Although Chen Feng knew she was angry about this, he wouldn't apologize to her specifically for it. He turned and said, "I just went to Xinyi's place and talked to her about the foundation. Her work is progressing very quickly; she's already sent two staff members to Ganzhou Province for on-site inspections. The first place to implement this free nutritious lunch charity project should be in Ganzhou Province."

Upon hearing this, Sun and Wu were immediately distracted.

Sun Xiaorui asked in surprise, "So fast? Have all the documents been processed here? And you're already starting to implement it?"

Chen Feng said, "The documents should be ready as early as next Monday, at which point our foundation will be able to hold public events here very smoothly."

Wu Mengting frowned slightly and asked, "Were these two people Tang Xinyi sent newly recruited? What are their abilities like? Why does Tang Xinyi trust them so much? How much funding did she give them?"

Seeing that she had spoken, Chen Feng patiently explained everything to her one by one.

After listening, Wu Mengting nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Tang Xinyi is quite lucky. She recruited two reliable staff members from the start. Especially Gan Maoen, right? He has over ten years of experience at the Red Persimmon Association, which is a perfect match for his expertise. Having him in charge of the specific implementation and execution of this charity project is a good choice. The other one is a local from Ganzhou Province, which is perfect for cooperating with him. These two are indeed a very good team. Of course, everything depends on how well the project is implemented there in the end, so it's a bit too early to say anything now."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Yes, everything depends on how well the project is implemented there. So, when you two have time, you can go and inspect the places where the projects are implemented, or even just take a tour, like a vacation."

Sun Xiaorui said, "We'll go if we have time. We've never actually been to those economically impoverished areas. Especially Ganzhou Province, I've always wanted to travel there, and I'll definitely go sometime in the future."

Wu Mengting said, "We will definitely go to conduct on-site inspections when we have time. Tourism is secondary; the main purpose is to supervise the specific use of those funds and prevent people from embezzling or taking kickbacks." (End of this chapter)
