The auction that night was the most enjoyable night Gu Hanhan had ever had since boarding the spaceship. [Read the full text] She had a great conversation with Anderson, an aristocratic artist with blue-grey eyes. Anderson is not always like a cosmic wandering poet whose life is about love and lyricism. He always talks nervously. He also talks to Gu Hanhan in ordinary language about interesting things in the aristocracy and space travel. All kinds of strange things happened in the journey.
From his words, Gu Hanhan learned that the universe is not always so bad. Although there are many people in the upper class who use their power and money to do evil, there are even more people who repay the society with a kind and grateful heart. From his mouth, Gu Hanhan learned that after most successful people achieve success, they do not just indulge in personal enjoyment, but always use part of their efforts to help ordinary people succeed. Many families that have been passed down for several generations have a tradition of philanthropy. Not only do they donate large sums of money every year, they even set up charitable foundations themselves. The first job of family members is often to join these foundations to serve voluntarily and practice them. do charity.
"Since I was twelve years old, I have been volunteering for a whole morning at my aunt's charity organization every weekend. It is a charity foundation that helps disabled miners, providing some medical assistance and living assistance, as well as legal aid. .I can do some accounting work for accountants, or help lawyers check some legal provisions, or assist in some fundraising activities. I had already studied accounting and lawyer courses by myself at that time, although I never took formal exams because of my age and other reasons. I have the qualifications, but it’s absolutely fine to do some assistant work. As I grow up, things gradually increase and I can’t go every week, but I will donate one-tenth of my income to the foundation every year. If the charity needs it, I will be there at any time. Everyone is ready to come forward and contribute a little bit," he said.
"Then can I participate?" Gu Hanhan asked with interest.
"Of course," Anderson responded, "I can introduce you to some foundations."
"Do I need to sign up for recruitment or something?" Gu Hanhan was a little unsure, "Think about it, I seem to know basically nothing. I have failed math and Chinese, let alone accounting and law. I can't do it even if I go there. What does it look like?”
Anderson smiled and said: "You don't have to do any specific technical tasks, but you just often participate in some charity social activities. Doing fund-raising is very meaningful - ah, there will be a charity reception two days on the spacecraft. , the organizer seems to be a foundation that specializes in helping college students and out-of-school children from poor families. I have had some dealings with Mrs. Kande, the director of this foundation. If Miss Gu is interested, you can ask her to send you an invitation."
When Gu Hanhan chatted with Anderson, the aristocratic philanthropist, poet, painter, unlicensed accountant, and unlicensed lawyer, and decided to attend the charity reception hosted by the Student Aid Foundation the day after tomorrow, the valets also selected Gu Hanhan's promise. one's gift. One of the valets bought a pair of cufflinks for 120,000 Earth Reserve Coins. The second valet spent 90,000 yuan on Gu Hanhan to buy a silk scarf. Moreover, he also helped the third valet pick out a pair of cufflinks. After showing off a vintage watch, Valet Four selected a pen and bought it for 170,000 and 190,000 Earth Reserve rolls respectively.
Rich woman Gu not only spent money to gain a sense of presence, but also bought a conscience. She showed off her wealth and was charitable, and participated in an auction with great success. So I was very happy. After it was over, I walked out of the door and told the valet: "We will come again next time." Anderson affectionately sent Gu Hanhan all the way into the elevator and said goodbye reluctantly.
After returning to the room, Anthony's work was not finished yet. Gu Hanhan spent an hour in the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Anthony leaning on the bed waiting for her. He had already taken a shower, and his pajamas were hanging loosely on his body without ties. When Gu Hanhan came over, he stretched out his hand to pull her onto the bed and wrap her in his pajamas. They completed the cycle happily and excitingly.
Gu Hanhan had been thinking about the charity fund Anderson talked about in his mind, so later on when he was lying on the bed watching Anthony swimming and resisting the lust/fire of lust, he mentioned that he was going to do some charity work to benefit mankind. Make a contribution to fairness and justice. Although there is a lot of pressure to donate money every year, volunteering as a fundraiser is still within your ability!
However, Anthony's attitude was very dismissive - "Charitable funds? Those boring things created by the energy consortium? Why are you interested in this?"
Gu Hanhan rolled her eyes at Anthony who was coming out of the swimming pool: "What is boredom? People spend money and effort to do good things, and in the end you comment that they are boring."
Anthony was noncommittal, and after the valet helped him put on his bathrobe, he sat down by the pool and smoked a cigar as usual, feeling really relieved.
Or the charity fund does do charity, but is it one percent, three percent, or five percent? The energy consortium's money is never free. An energy consortium is like a huge monster kingdom with tentacles all over human society. They penetrate into all walks of life and their shadow can be seen everywhere. No one in the universe is better at manipulating things than they are. They have a close relationship with the superpower family, with the powerful and powerful politicians, and with the trade fleets that connect the universe. No other class, except the energy consortium, has such a close and inseparable connection with national power and politics.
A small fluctuation in the price of lanthanum crystal futures in the energy trading market will shake the era of the universe. Whether it is the exploration of new energy galaxies, the bidding and mining of lanthanum crystal mines, or the subsequent energy distribution plan, there are huge factors involved behind it. The chain of interests and power requires countless shady transactions to be achieved, and the tool for operating these shady operations, distributing and transmitting profits is the charitable funds controlled by the energy consortium.
From tax exemptions, talent training, political donations, and various interest lobbying groups with a large lineup, to various state or private interest-free loans, to a wide range of aids, and even national coups, they are all done through charitable funds. of. It is precisely by relying on the huge political capital accumulated by charitable foundations that the energy consortium can gain the power to confront state power and even superpowers. An energy conglomerate empire as huge as Yinhe Group, even as tyrannical as Maximilian and as arrogant as Su Yu, would not touch it easily.
Of course, Anthony did not intend to tell Gu Hanhan right now that the so-called charity foundation was just a tool for the energy consortium to conveniently arrange for family descendants and manipulate shady political operations. Tell her this now, whether she can understand it, whether she is willing to believe it, whether she can bear it or not, is one thing. What's more important is that his goddess seems to have found such a thing that she can spend money on with great difficulty, and it's also Things you can find fun——
Anthony actually understood Gu Hanhan's mood very well. Many years ago, he also went through such a period of great confusion. The balance of a personal account has become less meaningful than a number, because no matter how much money there is, there is nowhere to spend it, power and wealth are at your fingertips, and no matter what you want, there will always be someone who will give it just right. All worldly personal pursuits are no longer applicable. Life, even life, is boring. Living seems to be just for other people. Only by living for others can you experience the feeling of life at all...
Therefore, she could just play for a few days to satisfy the philanthropist's addiction. Anyway, she just paid a small amount of insignificant money and spent a little time at social drinking parties. Oh, or there may be romantic encounters, those automatic cucumbers who can relieve her sexual pressure and mental backlash. They may be more acceptable to her than slaves and male servants...
So, when Anthony completely suppressed the pain on his body and went to bed to hug Gu Hanhan, he said to her: "It's actually very boring. They only do this because they are not strong enough, and we never do. Needed - but since you are interested, of course you can do whatever charity you want. Go to sleep, my dear master, even if you have to save the suffering people in the universe, at least we can do it tomorrow morning."
Gu Hanhan enjoyed the solid and safe feeling of being trapped in Anthony's strong chest, and felt very sad and angry in her heart: There is no way to save the evil heart! How could I fall in love with such an unsympathetic man! Compared with Mr. Anderson, who has a beautiful soul, he is just a bad guy. What a tragedy, I love such a bad guy. It's so sick! So is it a universal truth that bad men are more attracted to girls?
After lunch the next day, the beautiful Mr. Anderson spent 5 million Earth Reserve Volumes to buy the "Mist Gauze Doll" and then gave it to Gu Hanhan for free. The staff at the auction house gave it to him in a grand manner.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "vast". The boy has eight servants dedicated to serving him, twice as many as Gu Hanhan, who Anthony claims to take good care of. In addition, there are his various clothing accessories, daily necessities and the glass house, all in sets, exquisite and expensive. Now Gu Hanhan no longer has to complain about "the house will become a haunted house if there are few people", because the population is doubled. Fortunately, one of the valets had been prepared in advance and asked the housekeeper to clean a suite next to Gu Hanhan's bedroom, just in time for the boy to live in it. Even so, it took me half an afternoon to sort it out.
Gu Hanhan stared at this scene dumbfounded, almost grabbing his hair and going crazy - God, how should I feed this baby! I already have a boyfriend who is so easy to show off, a "long-term patient and cheap fiancé" who is so pretentious that he can't even pretend to be sexy, and now I have a beautiful child born for aristocratic style. What should I do to save them - no, who will save me!
Anthony didn't raise any objections to the sudden addition of a boy in the room. What was even more rare was that he didn't sneer. Instead, he touched Gu Hanhan's head and said to her in a very pleased tone: "Finally I saw you buy it." Come back with something you like.”
"That's not a thing, it's a person," Gu Hanhan corrected, "I'm going to save him."
Anthony smiled and said, "Whatever makes you happy."
"Also, I didn't buy him, he was given by someone else. In fact, it was at the auction last night..." Gu Hanhan continued to correct.
However, Anthony didn't care about the issue of buying or giving, and just said casually: "There is no difference between the two. In short, this will be the case from now on. If you meet someone you like, just stay."
Therefore, Gu Hanhan did not tell Cheng Anthony about meeting Mr. Poet.
After staying with Gu Hanhan for a while, Anthony got up to deal with things. He seemed a little busy recently.
"We need to earn some money to acquire some fixed assets to prepare for our future life on Lighthouse Star," he explained. "Sasha is very useless, and I have to do many things myself."
So Gu Hanhan avenged the blood feud for many days with great relief: "So you also need to do such a vulgar and low-level thing to make money?"
Anthony tapped Gu Hanhan's head lightly with his fingers, and then went to the office.
Gu Hanhan shrugged: "I'm finally willing to make money. I don't know if that's a huge improvement."
Gu Hanhan originally planned to take this time to visit the boy, chat with him, and see how to save him, but the valet had already come to report: "Mr. Anderson is here to visit."
