Chapter 217 The Greatest Heroes Serve Their Country and Their People (First Update)
Yang Yunsheng first called Du Jun and said she wanted to visit him, then drove to his residential area.

When we arrived, it was already past 5 p.m.

Yang Yunsheng bought a lot of local specialties, none of which were very expensive.

Things like bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, and apples grown in my hometown.

That's right, apples are grown in Yang Yunsheng's hometown.

Besides discussing business, he also came to resolve the dinner issue.

Du Jun was still waiting for Yang Yunsheng at the door. This time he was wearing a pair of brown shorts, green flip-flops, and a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

It's almost June now, and the weather in the capital is starting to get warmer.

When Du Jun met Yang Yunsheng, he was overjoyed.

He took two steps forward and said, "You came all this way, and brought so much stuff!"

Yang Yunsheng really wanted to say, "It's all for the children."

But considering that Du Jun is so old and doesn't have any children, and he usually lives alone, it's not a good idea to bring it up.

Yang Yunsheng could only reply, "These are just some random things I took; they're all worthless."

The reason for choosing inexpensive items was that, given the status of her aunt and uncle, Yang Yunsheng was not allowed to bring valuables to their home.

After the two entered the room, Yang Yunsheng placed the items on the dining table.

Du Jun immediately said, "Come and take a look at my latest novel! Although it's a martial arts novel, it's already been signed."

Is it a martial arts story?
In this day and age, martial arts are dead!

Yang Yunsheng's understanding of wuxia is still limited to the four famous wuxia masters: Liang Yusheng, Gu Long, Jin Yong, and Wen Ruian.

The martial arts novels on the internet are not martial arts at all. They have neither martial arts nor chivalry. They are more like a low-level alternative martial arts.

Take the fifth classic as an example. Although this book has a chivalrous spirit, it cannot be considered a traditional martial arts novel. It is more of a combination of fantasy and history.

Wuxia novels, like those on Qidian, belong to the "All Heavens" category.

The kind of pure martial arts novels that express the spirit of chivalry and are full of epic tales no longer exist.

That's understandable, since martial arts fiction isn't popular these days.

The popular genre is fantasy romance, or more accurately, melodramatic fantasy couples who fall in love every day.

For example, many fantasy dramas nowadays are basically about love.

The whole series is just about love and romance.

All that talk about the Three Realms, the Four Seas, and the Eight Desolations—it's all just a prelude to love.

Don't think this kind of show has no market; girls love watching it.

Yang Yunsheng was not surprised at all that Du Jun was able to sign a contract in the martial arts genre, because martial arts films generally have a smaller audience, making it easier to sign contracts.

If it were light novels or urban fiction, that would be a bit more difficult.

Yang Yunsheng didn't read Du Jun's martial arts novel. Instead, he said, "Cousin, I've come today because I need to ask you for a favor."

Du Jun knew this guy wouldn't come to the temple without a reason.

They must need my help for something to come to me.

Normally, I wouldn't even think about visiting.

Du Jun then said, "You go first!"

He didn't rush into agreeing to Yang Yunsheng's request, because he didn't know what Yang Yunsheng wanted him to do. As the child of a high-ranking official's family, he had to be careful about certain things, otherwise even a small matter could affect his parents.

This is why parents in high-ranking families don't want their children to be too stupid.

I was doing well in the officialdom, and suddenly you start showing off your wealth online. If the organization asks me where the money came from, how am I supposed to answer? Am I supposed to answer that?
Yang Yunsheng said to Du Jun, "Cousin, it's like this. I want to set up a foundation to help people in impoverished mountainous areas. But as you know, this is a very complicated matter. So I hope you can find a way to help me get this foundation sorted out."

Du Jun hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked.

Why did you decide to start a foundation?

Yang Yunsheng did not hide anything and replied, "The main purpose of setting up a foundation is to ensure that every penny of the donated money, whether from me or from other members of the public, reaches those in need. We cannot allow it to be like some other donation organizations, such as the 100 Cross Society and others, which pocket the money. They donated ten million yuan, but only tens of thousands or even a few thousand yuan actually reached the intended recipients."

Du Jun began to think, and he thought for a full two or three minutes.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Actually, what you're saying is something I've always wanted to do, but I don't have the funds. If you really want to do it, I can help you. But if Yingying and her group were to step in, it would probably be easier!"

Yang Yunsheng replied, "It was Yingying who sent me to find you!"

Du Jun thought about what had happened recently and realized that it was indeed inappropriate for his uncle to show his face.

As for my aunt, she didn't hold any official position, so it was indeed best for our family to help out.

Du Jun said, "I can help you with this!"

Yang Yunsheng said, "It would be best to get it done by the end of this month, which is May 31st. At that time, I will have my sister and Deng Shuangshuang do a live broadcast on Douyin. All the proceeds from the live broadcast will be donated to this foundation to help impoverished areas. In addition, Kuai Rui will also set aside 10 million yuan to donate to those in need."

Du Jun was taken aback: "Shuangshuang?"

Yang Yunsheng was taken aback. "You shouldn't be saying this so quickly. I'm in a bit of a predicament!"

Why did you suddenly think of Deng Shuangshuang?

Yang Yunsheng had a feeling that something was going on here!
But he didn't say much, after all, the final outcome of this matter still depends on fate and destiny.

Du Jun realized his mistake and changed his words, saying, "Don't worry, since you're so willing, I certainly won't hold you back. I'll definitely help you with this and hand over all the paperwork to you before the end of the month."

Yang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, then continued, "There's one more thing I need your help with, cousin!"

Du Jun was taken aback. Was there something else?

Seeing Du Jun's expression, Yang Yunsheng smiled.

"This matter is simple in some ways, but easy in others. I hope that after the foundation is established, my cousin can serve as its head. I know that my cousin has a master's degree in business administration from Tsinghua University, making him the best candidate to manage this foundation. Moreover, I trust my cousin and want to ask him to take the lead."

Du Jun was truly stunned this time, and stood frozen in place.

He pointed at himself with his finger, looking utterly incredulous.

"you said I?"

“Yes!” Yang Yunsheng gave an affirmative answer.

Du Jun quickly shook his head: "No, no, this kind of thing is too troublesome. Besides, I have to write a novel, where would I find the time!"

Yang Yunsheng disagreed, saying, "Novels can be written anytime, and this foundation will also help my cousin gather more material. If I find a more suitable person in the future, and my cousin doesn't want to do it anymore, I'll have him take your place."

Du Jun shook his head again: "That really won't work, I really don't have time!"

Yang Yunsheng instantly became serious.

"Cousin, you are a true hero!"

Du Jun: "For the country and the people?"
