Chapter 407 Donation Controversy and Li Daiyu
"How much should we donate?"

Jin Qixuan hesitated for a moment and suggested, "What do you think of 20 million?"

"?"

Li Zhien looked at him in surprise and said, "It's better not to donate."

"Uh, I mean 20 million Chinese Yuan."

Hearing this, Lee Ji-eun checked the exchange rate on her phone, which was nearly 37 billion won.

On the surface, this amount is Kim Ki-hyeon's salary for "Squid Game" + Lee Ji-eun's share of the two concerts with a total of 50,000 people.

But in reality, they still have to pay high taxes and company commissions, so they don't actually get that much.

Of course, the two of them have more than just this income.

The bulk of Jin Qixuan's current income comes from the share of sales of co-branded products with Gucci and Zenith.

Then comes advertising endorsements, and the smallest amount is the film remuneration.

As for Lee Ji-eun, as a medium-sized mobile enterprise, she naturally earns a lot.

Song copyright, advertising endorsements, film remuneration, variety show appearances, offline concerts, online music sources...

Her endorsement with Gucci is probably about done, and in the future she will have another source of income from the fashion industry.

Therefore, the donation of 20 million Chinese yuan from the two people was not a drop in the bucket, but it was by no means an unbearable burden either.

Of course, donations are not about who donates the most, but about the intention behind it.

As the old saying goes, a gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than the sentiment behind it.

The two finally discussed how to donate.

In the name of the couple, they donated 300 million won in supplies to the local government of Jiangcheng.

Then he donated 37 billion won to the Hegu Charity Foundation anonymously.

The reason why he donated so little openly was mainly because he didn't want to be criticized by netizens from the Peninsula.

After all, the Internet environment on the peninsula is really bad. It can be said that it is the world's number one talker, even worse than a certain blog.

Jin Qixuan is not afraid, but his wife relies on fans for a living.

We donated to the Heigu Charity Fund because the Heigu Foundation is well-known for its efficiency, openness and transparency, and the destination of every penny can be traced.

Instead of doing shameful things in the name of charity like some foundations do.

In fact, Han Hong’s foundation is also very trustworthy, but Jin Qixuan is not familiar with her and has no connection with her.

At least there is Yanzu as a bridge between us and Heigu.

As for why you should donate anonymously.

To borrow a phrase from Heigu.

"I do charity not for the sake of gaining something, but to contribute my own strength to the world."

“Charity is not for showing off, but comes from the kindness of the heart.”

Therefore, the two of them just wanted to do their part rather than donate for fame.

After the discussion, the two of them took action separately.

Jin Qixuan went to contact for supplies, while Li Zhien went to the bank to transfer money.

Since the headquarters of the Heigu Charity Foundation is located in Hong Kong, Lee Ji-eun still has to go to the bank to make cross-border remittances.

Lee Ji-eun's process was faster and she was able to enjoy the bank's VIP service without having to wait in line. It was over in just an hour.

As for Jin Qixuan, it is more complicated.

He needs to personally supervise procurement, transportation, customs declaration, handover, etc. to ensure that everything is correct.

By the time everything was done, it was already dark.

"Thank you for your hard work, husband~"

As soon as she saw him going home, Li Zhien came to greet him and handed him the remittance receipt:

"The money has been transferred. Here is the receipt."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan took it and looked at it, then smiled and rubbed her head, saying:
"My wife is also hard-working."

“Thinking of the suffering people in the world, our efforts are like a drop of water in the sea, which is also a small contribution to society.”

"Yes, our Ms. Zhien's awareness is getting higher and higher now."

"Humph, it's always been like this!"

Li Zhien said lightly, her eyes full of unquestionable arrogance.

"Haha, what a slip of the tongue."

"Are you hungry, honey?"

"Now that you mention it, I am indeed hungry. I have been moving supplies all afternoon and I have used up a lot of energy."

"So, do you want some oysters?"

IU looked up and blinked her big, bright eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Uh...actually..."

"No, you want!"

……

Hegu Charitable Foundation.

In an office.

A staff member is processing today's donations.

Suddenly, she saw a cross-border remittance from the peninsula on her computer screen.

"so much?"

The young lady was shocked. She had been working here for so long, but this was the first time she had seen such a large anonymous donation.

She immediately reported the matter to her superiors.

"Team leader, we just received an anonymous donation."

"How many?"

"Equivalent to 20 million Chinese yuan."

"So many? Where did they come from?"

"peninsula."

“Have you found out who donated it?”

"The other party donated anonymously, and I don't have the authority to check the identity information of the remitter."

"Oh……"

Hearing this, the team leader pondered.

Such a huge amount of money cannot be donated by an ordinary person. It must be donated by a large enterprise or a large consortium.

But if it is a large enterprise or a large conglomerate, there is no need to make anonymous donations. It can both gain fame and deduct taxes.

The key is that everyone has their own charitable foundation.

Could it be a celebrity from Peninsula?

Thinking of this, the team leader shook his head.

He felt that this matter was beyond his scope of handling and immediately reported it to the top management of the foundation.

Senior management also takes this matter very seriously, but they are unable to directly check the identity information of the remitter and need to go through the bank's channels.

However, in this way, anonymous donations become real-name donations.

Taking into account the wishes of the donor, the top management decided to respect the other party's choice and not disclose the donor's identity information, but only record the matter.

Not long after, the Heigu Charity Foundation issued an announcement.

[Just recently, the Heigu Charity Foundation received an anonymous donation of 20 million Chinese Yuan.]

[The Hei Guxian Charity Foundation stated that it will use all of this money for epidemic prevention and control in Jiangcheng, as well as subsequent social assistance work...]

[At the same time, all the staff of the foundation express their deepest respect and gratitude to this anonymous generous person. ]

[We are grateful for his generous help, praise his selfless kindness, and are even more grateful for his trust in the Heigu Charity Foundation and his strong support for Huaxia. ]

【I hope everyone will work together to overcome this difficult time. 】

【…】

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens.

"Fuck, 20 million? And it's an anonymous donation? Boss!"

"Boss, you're awesome! This is real charity!"

"Twenty million! I can never make that much money in my entire life!"

"Look at those people who earn 208 million a day, but they only donate . Sigh..."

"Aren't there people bragging about how awesome their brothers and sisters are on a certain blog every day? Why don't you come out and take a look?"

"To be honest, if you have so much money and so much time to travel abroad, why don't you go abroad to donate money?"

"Your pattern is far inferior to that of the big guys."

"That's right, how hard are you trying to market yourself every day?"

"It's so funny. It's already this late, and you're still working hard? I've even been diagnosed with COVID-19, why are you working so hard?"

"You can't say that. Any donation is a token of your appreciation and it's better than not donating at all."

"That's right, donations are voluntary. No matter how much you donate, it's all about your heart. There's no need to use morality to blackmail you."

"The person above is sensible, I give him a thumbs up!"

"But then again, who is this anonymous big shot? He actually donated so much money!"

"I don't know. The announcement said it was an anonymous donation." "Won't we find out if we check?"

"Brother, this is not allowed. Anonymous donations are made without letting others know your identity. It is illegal to check someone else's identity information without permission."

"Ahem, I'm just saying."

"..."

At the same time, in R's apartment.

After taking a shower, Jin Qixuan looked at the table full of oysters and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Wife, don't eat too many oysters. Too much is as bad as too little."

"Then save some for tomorrow."

As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun had already started feeding him.

"I can do it myself."

"No, I'll do it."

There was no room for doubt in Li Zhien's tone.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to compromise and open his mouth obediently.

Lee Ji-eun put the oyster meat to her mouth to cool it down just like she was feeding a child, and then put it into Kim Ki-hyeon's mouth.

This process continued until the oyster shells formed a small mountain on the table.

Of course, most of it went into Kim Ki-hyeon's stomach, and Lee Ji-eun just tasted it.

"Honey, I've fed you, so is it your turn to 'feed' me now?"

"Uh, cough cough..."

Under Li Zhien's gaze full of love, Jin Qixuan's eyes were slightly wandering:
"Well... I think we can discuss sustainable development..."

Hearing this, Li Zhien's expression suddenly changed, showing a gloomy look, and sighed softly:
"Hey, you must be tired, you gave me such a perfunctory reply."

"Ah? No, I mean that indulgence hurts the body, moderation nourishes the mind..."

"Look, I just said a few more words, and you acted like this. Never mind, I was the one who said too much."

"..."

Looking at Lee Ji-eun's "heartbroken" back, Jin Qixuan's mouth twitched slightly.

No, if you are sad, then you are sad. What’s the point of going back to your room to get a whip and stockings?
……

The next morning.

After eating and drinking her fill, Lee Ji-eun looked radiant and was humming a tune while leisurely practicing yoga in the living room.

As for Jin Qixuan, he was recuperating in bed...

At this moment, Li Zhien's cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID says Zheng Hante.

“Have you watched the news?”

"What news?"

"You two were praised by the Chinese government for donating 3 million won worth of supplies to Jiangcheng, and it's now on the hot search list in China."

"Oh... I didn't expect the logistics to be so awesome."

After hanging up the phone, Lee Ji-eun clicked on the link sent by Jung Han-te.

The hot search ranked seventh, and the title entry was "Thank you Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun for donating supplies to Jiangcheng."

The protagonist of the video is Jin Qixuan.

The content is a video of him moving supplies in the factory yesterday afternoon.

In the picture, he is moving materials between factories. He is dressed simply, his hair is slightly messy, and he is sweating. His former elegance is gone.

If you don’t know, you might think he was filming a movie.

In fact, some people really think so.

"Fuck, isn't this the actor who filmed the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds promotional video with me (Yanzu)? Is this some new movie?"

"The guy above, has your village just got internet? This guy was at the factory moving supplies to Jiangcheng this afternoon, and the central bank even praised him."

"Awesome +1, I used to be a passerby, but now I'm a fan."

"Supplies are secondary. This kind of heart is really commendable!"

"The landscape has been opened up, and this is the second artist in South Korea to stand out."

"By the way, is this IU's husband? I saw their wedding video before, and I heard that when they got married, most of the entertainment industry in the peninsula came, and there were several tables filled with Chinese celebrities alone!"

"His name is Jin Qixuan, the best actor in Peninsula Film Festival. He has a huge LED Gucci plaza in our Bund."

"Wow, Master!"

"It's so funny, it's like there's no such thing in Sanlitun."

"Master Jing is so domineering."

“We have one in Chunxi Road, too.”

“There seems to be one over at Shenzhen Bay Park.”

"..."

Seeing this, Li Zhien's mouth curled up, and she walked lightly into the bedroom with her mobile phone in hand, excitedly.

"My dear, look..."

Seeing that he was still asleep, Lee Ji-eun fell silent.

However, just as she was about to leave quietly, Jin Qixuan's slightly tired voice suddenly came from behind:
"what happened?"

"Are you awake? Look."

Li Zhien turned around and walked to the bed, handed the phone to Jin Qixuan, and said: "We are on the hot search in China."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan immediately sat up, his eyes fell on the screen, and his smile deepened.

"Oh, this heat is quite high."

"Indeed."

After saying that, Li Zhien snuggled into his arms, her fingertips gently brushed across his face, and whispered:

"Honey, I lost control last night. I apologize."

Although he apologized, there was a smile on his lips. He did not show any regret at all, and his face was full of smiles.

"I'm still dreaming..."

This scene gave Jin Qixuan a headache, so he simply closed his eyes and covered himself with the quilt to block out all the light.

Li Zhien was not annoyed, but leaned on him, with a hint of sadness in her tone:
"Hubby, do you think we can go back to the way we were before?"

"What? Once a month?"

"Alas~ If you have this attitude, you might as well just ignore me, so that I don't seem to be too unreasonable."

"..."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan's mouth twitched slightly.

No, I just wonder, who between us is being unreasonable?

Is there any king law?Are there any laws?
“I feel like there’s a rift between us.”

"What gap?"

"You haven't touched me for eight hours..."

"..."

gap?

This is clearly called overindulgence!

You can’t ask for a child like this!

In the end, under Li Zhien's "coercion and inducement", Jin Qixuan once again paid private food...

at the same time.

The news about Jin Qixuan and his wife donating supplies to China quickly spread on the Peninsula Internet.

There are people who praise, and naturally there are also people who criticize.

"Haha, this traitorous bastard earns money from our peninsula and then turns around to give to other countries."

"They donated money to Huaxia, what does that have to do with us?"

"That is, they make money from us and then try to please China. It's disgusting."

"Boycott the couple until they apologize!"

"Hey, Jin Qixuan's acting skills are really amazing, but it's a pity that he is a bastard who licks the Chinese body."

"..."

Although these remarks are somewhat extreme, they are also a rehash of the old tune.

After all, netizens on the peninsula have always been more sensitive in this regard.

No matter how well you do, they will always find a reason to criticize you.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
As the saying goes, the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid.

Compared with the insults from these trolls, the comments from some official media appear to be more objective.

[Actor Kim Ki-hyun and his wife, singer IU, donated 3 million won in supplies to help China with the epidemic. 】

[——The virus has no borders, and human love and care have no borders. They are not only the pride of Peninsula, but also show the sentiment of a community with a shared future for mankind. They set an example for Peninsula artists. Thumbs up! ]
