Four people were sitting in the VIP private room of Xinghai Hotel, chatting happily.
"Director of Runyu Fund?" The elder brother put down his wine glass and looked at Yang Dongxu in surprise.
Today's meal is the first time Sister Mei has recovered from a serious illness, so she came here specifically to thank Yang Dongxu. After his brother found out, he came over to keep him company, and then Yang Dongxu pulled Yu Yi.
Yu Yi is responsible for supporting education, so she is familiar with Sister Mei and her brother, so it is perfect for her to accompany her. I saw that although my brother looked a little haggard, there was a real smile from the heart in his eyes. Apparently baptized by the innocence of children from impoverished mountainous areas, Yang Dongxu thought for a moment and made the invitation.
At present, Runyu Fund has expanded many times compared to when it was first established. Zhou Ya's secretary had been taking care of Zhou Ya's remote control abroad.
However, as the international situation changed dramatically, Zhou Ya, who was abroad and was preoccupied with many things, obviously did not have much energy to take care of Runyu Fund.
Originally, Yang Dongxu wanted to ask Yu Yi to hand over the teaching support work to others and let her manage the Runyu Fund. But when he saw his brother today, he suddenly wanted him to be the director of this fund. The more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt, so he made the invitation.
After joining the teaching profession, my brother rarely appeared in front of the screen and basically declined most interviews. Occasionally, when I accept film invitations, I will continue to teach in mountain villages after the filming is completed, and donate all the salary from the film to help poor students in mountainous areas.
"You are actually very familiar with Runyu Fund, and you have always wanted to do charity. I feel that no one is more suitable for this position than you." Yang Dongxu said very sincerely.
To be honest, if he were Leslie Cheung, he might not be able to let go of the bustling life and personally go to the mountain village to support education.
But my brother really did it. He put down his celebrity status that focused on the flashlight and left the bustling metropolis. She even turned down all kinds of filming and commercial performances that made her a lot of money, and stayed with her children wholeheartedly.
This is a noble personality who puts aside the secular world and devotes himself to charity. He is a much higher level than Yang Dongxu is now, even though he has donated a lot of money to charity and promoted supporting education.
But while he does these things for charity, he also has utilitarian purposes. But my brother is different. He really devotes himself to charity without any utilitarian purpose. Otherwise, if a superstar is so rooted in a poor mountainous area to do charity, public opinion would have been worshiped by him even if he reported it a little bit.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do well. I only know how to make movies and teach children to study. But I really can't do company management." After thinking for a moment, my brother shook his head and refused.
He raised his hands in favor of doing charity, whether it was providing people, effort, or donating money, he would never hesitate. Managing charitable funds is not what he is good at.
"It's not as complicated as you think. We are a non-profit charity foundation. That means you don't have to think about how to use the money in the foundation to invest and make money. You just need to conduct on-the-spot investigations based on the information collected by the people below.
Decide where a Hope Primary School needs to be built and how to fund it for poor students. Then, just review the charitable funds in the foundation to prevent the emergence of moths.
Another point is that you are a Hong Konger and you are also a star. In the process of donating or building Hope Primary School, if you find any problems and report them to the above, the problems can be better solved. It might even save you a lot of trouble. Yang Dongxu said.
To be honest, although he has not managed the Runyu Fund much in recent years, he knows a lot about the bullshit in the fund donation process.
The first point is that whether it is the local government, officials, or other people who can reach out to the Runyu Fund, they gradually regard this fund as Tang Monk Meat.
It was obviously the money approved by the foundation to build the Hope Primary School, but it ended up being misappropriated to renovate government office buildings. It was obviously money to subsidize teachers in impoverished mountainous areas, but the money disappeared for unknown reasons. Some people even shamelessly took back the money that was given to these teachers personally.
Naturally, Runyu Fund reported all such matters and cooperated with the relevant local departments to investigate and impose severe penalties.
However, it seems to have become a common practice that money can attract people's hearts rather than plucking their hair. When the money is put down, it will be covered with a layer of oil and water. After it actually reaches the hands of the people who need it, very little is left.
So Yang Dongxu wants to borrow the identities of various superstars. After all, superstars are natural media spotlights. The slightest thing is publicized all over the world. In this way, when encountering such greedy things that want to kill people, as long as everyone stands up and responds, both the handling results and the warning effect of the publicity after handling will be better than before.
In the past, Runyu Fund dealt with this kind of greedy behavior. Some of them were published in newspapers, but at most they were the size of tofu cubes and were typed in an inconspicuous position. Most things could not be reported, and sometimes they even had to pay for the reports themselves.
"This..." Brother was still a little hesitant.
"It's really not too difficult. If you are dedicated to charity, you can lead by example and set an example for other staff. At the same time, you don't need to stand up to raise funds. I now donate more than 100 million to the fund every year.
In recent years, the name of Runyu Fund has also been established, and it has been recognized and vigorously promoted by the government. There are also a lot of funds raised from the public, which is enough to support the operation of the foundation.
Relevant professionals are responsible for the day-to-day management of the foundation, and your role is more like a doorkeeper. Where can I stop and use my superstar halo to make those who have dirty thoughts in their hearts put away their pettiness? Yang Dongxu continued quickly.
"Well..." Brother pondered for a moment: "Well, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work well, or if it's not up to the task, you can replace it quickly, so as not to delay the progress of public welfare undertakings."
"Don't worry about this. Runyu Fund is a brand I have established, and I really want to contribute to the public welfare of the motherland. If you make any mistakes, I will definitely remind you and even replace you. After all, it is such a big company. I can't joke about it." Yang Dongxu nodded.
"Well, how about I go over and help you. For example, I can be your secretary or something." Sister Mei said.
After Sun Banxian's conservative treatment, Sister Mei's condition has been cured. Now she looked radiant, no longer as haggard and anxious as before, as if she had a premonition of her own death.
"Sister Mei is not treated like this when she is secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong." Yang Dongxu joked, looking between Sister Mei and his brother.
Sister Mei's face turned a little unnaturally red, and her brother reached out and slapped him in the face. Yang Dongxu cannot confirm whether Sister Mei and her brother had feelings for each other before and fell in love.
But at the moment, the two people's attitude towards each other is indeed sympathetic, just like two small boats that have been drifting alone on the sea for many years. One day they happen to meet each other, and the presence of each other can make them feel at ease.
After dinner, Yang Dongxu sent his brother and Sister Mei upstairs. They stayed at the Xinghai Hotel today, and then drove Yu Yi home.
"Recently, the Education Bureau has sent many people to participate in the management of volunteer education." Yu Yi said while looking at the night outside the car window.
"Keep abreast of the ratio between the supporting teaching cadres selected from the students and these related households. As long as they are here to do things, I don't object to people coming to support teaching to gilt, but the premise is that they don't cause trouble." Yang Dongxu said, and then he thought of something. Turning his head: "Is there anyone putting pressure on you?"
"The leaders of the Education Bureau have talked to me before, hoping that I can work in the Education Bureau in a well-established manner. My parents also feel that it is good to have an iron rice bowl." Yu Yi hesitated and said.
To be honest, she is a little confused now. Teaching has always been something she insists on doing. As one of the founders, she has devoted too much effort to this job.
But she really didn't know what the future would bring. Perhaps it would be a better choice to use the springboard of volunteer teaching to enter the Education Bureau, pick up an iron rice bowl, and find a young talent she likes to marry as her parents said.
"What do you think?" Yang Dongxu was silent for a moment and asked.
If it is coercion at work, or coercion by various means. Yang Dongxu would definitely slap him without hesitation, but it was related to Yu Yi's personal plans for her future life and her parents' advice. As an outsider, Yang Dongxu has very few factors to make decisions. Everything depends on what Yu Yi thinks.
“I love this job, especially when I help those children and see the smiles on their faces, it gives me great satisfaction.
But now I don’t know when the direction of my work in this position has deviated. There are fewer and fewer opportunities to go down to the grassroots to see those children. Every day there are various symposiums, various dinner parties, various parties, and various phone calls to build relationships. "Yu Yi said with some annoyance.
She likes to simply do charity, arrange the teaching work, and then personally visit schools in poor areas to help poor children with her own hands. It is simple and direct without too many twists and turns. But there is a big deviation between her current working form and the simple job she wants.
“In the future, for meetings like symposiums, except for those held by provincial education bureaus and the national education bureau that require you to go, don’t go to symposiums in other counties and cities and refuse them all.
As long as what they say in the newspaper is not too outrageous, just turn a blind eye and ignore it, and ignore the dinner party. The promotion of volunteer education is supported by the central government and can add a halo of political achievements to the people below.
So you don’t have to worry about offending these people if you don’t go to eat. You have to be more assertive. Otherwise, if you are too talkative, they will think you are easy to bully and make more unreasonable demands.
Participation in the party is optional. Although we do charity, we don’t have to show up at any charity party. Funds for supporting education are currently divided into three parts: central support, donations from the Runyu Fund, and donations from individuals in society.
So just show up at some charity parties occasionally. Some small parties just want to use your name to put money on their faces. They are not doing charity at all.
As for those phone calls that seek to promote relationships, you should refuse them. Again, don’t be so kind-hearted and talkative just because we are a charity. When faced with unreasonable demands, refuse them instead. If you are not in the establishment, they can eat you and remove you from your position? Yang Dongxu said.
"That's what I say, but how can we distinguish between human relationships so clearly." Yu Yi rolled her eyes at Yang Dongxu, feeling that this guy could stand up and talk without pain. Everyone can talk, but not everyone can do things well. No one would speak sarcastically about things that don't happen to them.
"You can say that, and things can also be done. Favors come and go. If he says a few nice words and then makes some promises in a leader's tone, you have to praise his stinky feet. .
Again, education support is a charity project unified by the central government that combines private operations and the state. The management rights belong to us, which is also agreed by the above. I have no problem with them wanting to arrange for people to come into the Gilding House.
But after the arranger came in, she still pointed fingers and felt that it was only natural for you to help her. When faced with such a person, your best choice is to wake him up with big-eared melon seeds, or ignore him. "
"Is there really no problem with this?" Yu Yi was still a little unsure.
"Everyone is a bitch. If you hold his stinky feet, he will take it for granted. But when you slap him with big-eared melon seeds, he will hold your stinky feet in return as long as he thinks it is profitable."
"It's your feet that stink." Yu Yi slapped Yang Dongxu angrily.
