Chapter 775: Stinky Feet
Four people were sitting in the VIP private room of Xinghai Hotel, chatting happily.
"Director of Runyu Foundation?" 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 filming, and I will donate all my salary 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 teach.
But my brother really did it. He put down his celebrity status that focused on the flashlight and left the bustling metropolis. He even turned down all kinds of filming and commercial performances that made him a lot of money, and stayed with his 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 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 does charity wholeheartedly, without any utilitarian purpose in it. 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 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, efforts, or donating money without hesitation. 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 Runyu Fund much in recent years, he knows a lot about the nonsense 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 be a common practice that money can attract people's hearts more than plucking their hair. When money is put down, it will be covered with a layer of oil and water, and very little will be left after it actually reaches the hands of those who need it.
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." My 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 have 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.
The daily management of the foundation is in the charge of relevant professionals, and your role is more like a door god. Wherever you stand, use the aura of a superstar to make those who have dirty thoughts in their hearts put away their little tricks. "Yang Dongxu continued hurriedly.
"That." The brother pondered for a moment: "Okay, then, I will try to do it first. If it is not done well or is not competent, you should quickly replace it to avoid delaying the progress of public welfare. "
"Don't worry about this, Runyu Foundation is a signboard 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, or even replace you. After all, I can't joke about such a big thing. "Yang Dongxu nodded.
"Well, how about I go over to 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 looks radiant, no longer as haggard and nervous as before, as if she had a premonition of her own death.
"Sister Mei doesn't get this treatment even as a secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong." Yang Dongxu joked, looking back and forth between Sister Mei and her brother.
Sister Mei's face flushed unnaturally, and her brother slapped him. Yang Dongxu couldn't confirm whether Sister Mei and her brother had fallen in love with each other before.
But at present, the attitude of the two people towards each other is indeed a kind of attachment of cherishing each other, just like two small boats that have been drifting alone on the sea for many years, and one day they happened to meet each other and each other's existence can make them feel at ease.
After dinner, Yang Dongxu sent his brother and Sister Mei upstairs. Today they stayed at Xinghai Hotel, and then drove Yu Yi home.
"Recently, the Education Bureau has sent a lot of people who want to participate in the management of teaching. "Yu Yi said, looking at the night outside the car window.
"Grasp the ratio of teaching cadres selected from students and these relatives. As long as they come to do things, I don't object to someone coming to teach to gild their reputation, but the premise is that they don't make trouble." Yang Dongxu said, and then he thought of something and turned his head: "Is there anyone who puts pressure on you?"
"Before, the leaders of the Education Bureau talked to me and hoped that I could work in the Education Bureau with a regular position. My parents also think it's good to have a stable job." Yu Yi hesitated and said.
To be honest, she is a little confused now. Teaching has always been what she insists on doing. As one of the founders, she has devoted too much effort to this job.
But she really doesn't know what the future will be like. Maybe it's a better choice to use the springboard of teaching to enter the Education Bureau, hold a stable job, and then find a young talent she likes to marry as her parents said.
"What do you think? "Yang Dongxu asked after a moment of silence.
If it was coercion at work, or coercion by various means. Yang Dongxu would definitely slap her without hesitation, but it was related to Yu Yi's personal plan for her future life and her parents' advice. As an outsider, Yang Dongxu had little power to make decisions, and everything depended on what Yu Yi thought.
"I like my current job, especially when I help those children and see the smiles on their faces, I feel extremely satisfied.
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 to the grassroots to see those children. Every day there are various seminars, various dinners, various evening parties, and various phone calls to build relationships. "Yu Yi said with some annoyance.
She likes to do charity simply, arrange the teaching work, and then go to the schools in poor areas in person to help those poor children in person. It's simple and direct without too many twists and turns. But her current work style is very different from the simple work she wants.
"In the future, except for the provincial education bureau and the national education bureau that need you to go, don't go to other county and city seminars. Refuse all.
As long as they don't exaggerate in the newspaper, just turn a blind eye and ignore them, and don't pay attention to the dinner. The promotion of teaching is supported by the central government, and it can add a halo of political achievements to the people below.
So you don't have to worry about offending these people by not going to dinner. You must put up a shelf, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully if you are too easy to talk to, and then make more unreasonable demands.
Selective participation in the evening party. Although we do charity, we don't have to show up at every charity evening party. The current funds for teaching are divided into three parts: central support, donations from Runyu Foundation, and donations from individuals in the society.
So it's OK to appear at some charity galas occasionally. Some small galas just want to use your name to flatter them, not for charity at all.
As for those calls to build relationships, you should refuse them. As I said before, don't be so kind and easy to talk to just because we are doing charity. When faced with unreasonable requests, just refuse. You are not in the system, so they can eat you up and remove your position?" Yang Dongxu said.
"That's what I said, but how can human relationships be so clearly divided." Yu Yi rolled her eyes at Yang Dongxu, feeling that this guy was talking without any pain in his waist. Everyone can say things, but not everyone can do things well. Everyone will say sarcastic things about things that are not their own.
"You can say that, and you can do that. Human relationships are give and take. It's not that he says a few nice words and then makes some promises in the tone of a leader, and you have to flatter him.
As I said, teaching is a charitable project that combines private and state enterprises under the unified central government. The management rights belong to us and are also agreed by the higher-ups. I have no objection to them arranging people to come in and gild their business.
But after arranging people in, they still make comments and think that it is natural for you to help them. When facing such people, your best choice is to wake them up with a slap in the face, or to stay away from them. "
"Is there really no problem with this?" Yu Yi was still a little unsure.
"People are all cheap. If you flatter their stinky feet, they will feel that this is natural, but when you slap them with a slap in the face. As long as they think it is profitable, they will flatter your stinky feet in return."
"Your feet are stinky." Yu Yi slapped Yang Dongxu in anger.
