Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 355 Entering the Philanthropic Circle
It was in an empty ward right next to Huang Lei's ward.

Li Jiayuan furtively closed the door, then sat on the hospital bed. With a thought, the yellow jade seal from the system space appeared on the bed.

"This is the Jade Seal of Fortune?"

Li Jiayuan picked up the jade seal and examined it carefully. It looked like an ordinary seal, about the size of a fist, with a dragon head on the handle.

The character below is the character for "transportation".

What impressed Li Jiayuan the most was that the jade seal was heavy and dark green, looking very much like the color of cold jade.

But when I touched it, the jade seal was surprisingly hot.

The normal body temperature of a person is around 36-37 degrees Celsius, while this jade seal feels to be around 40-50 degrees Celsius to the touch.

So it feels warm to the touch, something I've never experienced before.

From a distance, the jade seal seems to have a layer of red light on it.

"Bright red!"

Li Jiayuan's heart raced, and he gripped the jade seal even tighter, placing it in his palm with rare delight.

[The Jade Seal of Fortune (Obtaining this jade seal will bring you the protection of fortune, smooth sailing in all things, good luck, and protection from disasters)]

After reading the detailed skill description of the Imperial Seal, Li Jiayuan was filled with a restless curiosity.

The description of this Fortune Jade Seal states that it can be triggered actively once a month. Successful triggering will bring good rewards, but the probability is only 12%. After a successful trigger, there will be a cooldown period of six months.

The second triggering method is passive triggering. When a major disaster occurs near the host, the jade seal will actively ward off the disaster. The probability of passive triggering is 80%. If the triggering is successful, the jade seal will enter a cooldown period of six months.

Just from this introduction, you can tell that this jade seal is indeed a treasure, a treasure that can bring good luck and ward off disasters.

With a try-it-out attitude, Li Jiayuan attempted to use the imperial seal on his own initiative.

[The Jade Seal of Fortune has been successfully triggered]

[The reward will be given within ten days, and can be triggered again after the cooldown period ends in six months.]

watt!

Success on the first try?
Li Jiayuan's blinking eyelids betrayed his inner shock.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy; it seemed that his luck had indeed been quite good lately.

Back in Huang Lei's ward next door, Ruan Mei had also arrived at some point.

"Brother Yuan"

He was gossiping with Huang Lei while in the hospital bed.

Li Jiayuan only heard words like "worship ceremony" and "family property," but when he pushed open the door, Ruan Mei stopped talking.

Ah, no, what are you two plotting?

Could it be that they're thinking of killing me so they can inherit my assets worth over 10 billion?

“What are you talking about? Tell me the truth, or I won’t let you off today.”

Li Jiayuan pinned Ruan Mei to the bed, grabbed her two fair wrists, and touched her lips with his own.

Ruan Mei shyly twisted her waist, and with this movement, the fragrance of shampoo or shower gel on her body became even more pronounced.

Even a light fragrance can hit you right in the head.

"Ouch"

Huang Lei kicked Li Jiayuan hard in the butt.

OK, the fun is over, no more games to play.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Ruan Mei rested her head on Li Jiayuan's chest, her voice soft.

"Uncle Chen downstairs passed away. His two sons were fighting in the street over his public housing apartment. I saw the police arrive when I came over just now." "Uncle Chen passed away so suddenly!"

Li Jiayuan was somewhat surprised, mainly because Uncle Chen seemed to be in very good health, so how could he have suddenly passed away?

I really didn't expect it.

Furthermore, it's bizarre that his two sons would fight in the street over a public housing unit.

"It was very sudden, and that's not all. Master Zhang from Building C behind the square also left. I heard that it was his neighbor, Miss Dai, who noticed the smell."

Li Jiayuan remained silent. This kind of thing happens frequently, and there are reports about it every few days.

The problem of elderly people living alone on Hong Kong Island is indeed a concern.

Social workers are not omnipotent. Social work groups on Hong Kong Island are not very large. Why?

Because working as a social worker on Hong Kong Island is not only unpaid, but also exhausting.

All sorts of trivial matters; most people who are capable of working as social workers are not just there to coast along.

Many ambitious young people are now becoming social workers to contribute to society.

Even so, there are still far from enough social workers, especially in places with many elderly people living alone, where many social workers are unable to take care of them all.

Sometimes, elderly people die at home and are only discovered after they have started to decompose.

“In fact, every year many philanthropists in Hong Kong Island donate money to help, but a lot of this money ends up in private pockets, and very little of it actually goes to a useful place.”

Huang Lei shook her head and sighed.

Li Jiayuan is more qualified to speak on this matter.

Every few days, the company gets approached by various charities asking for donations, with all sorts of reasons, but the most common one is that they want to donate to elderly people living alone.

This left him speechless. These so-called charitable organizations are always eager to collect money, but when it comes to getting things done, they start making excuses and delaying.

They can't provide details on how the donated funds were used; their main claim is that the funds went unaccounted for.

Therefore, he never donates money to these damn organizations, preferring to use the money for charity himself rather than give it to them.

“You’re right. We never know where this money goes. Donating it is pointless. Let’s set up a charity in our Jiayuan Group. Let’s set up a charity that can publicly disclose all the details of how the donated funds are used.”

Li Jiayuan said nonchalantly.

He had this idea a long time ago, mainly to achieve his goal of increasing his approval rating, and also because establishing a charitable organization that could truly help people would benefit society.

Other charities rely on donations to stay afloat, so they dare not disclose where their funds go.

If he were to establish a charity, given the size of the Jiayuan Group, wouldn't it be able to support the operation of such a charity?

Don't forget the public interest law firm in Sham Shui Po next door, which is constantly losing money, yet it's thriving.

As long as you have money, nothing is a problem.

"If you want to do it, go ahead. The company isn't short of money anyway. As long as the publicity is done well, it's not difficult to do. If the funds are completely transparent, it will be more credible. Doing good deeds is also a way to accumulate good karma."

Huang Lei gently stroked her belly.

These words were refreshing to Li Jiayuan, and he couldn't help but think of when he first met Huang Lei.

A proud, confident, and materialistic female warrior who doesn't believe in ghosts or gods.

If you had talked to her about accumulating good deeds back then, she would most likely have laughed at you. When did she start to believe in these things?

I don't know, maybe it's because I have children. People are different when they have someone to care about, just like myself.

Li Jiayuan quickly slipped away.

Back at the company, I began to work on matters related to the charity.

"Brother Yuan, good news!"

Fang Ting burst into the office in a flurry of activity.
