Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1009: Donation Requests Piling Up

At school, Cheng Su was feeling a bit down, and this would have been fine, but as soon as she got back to the community, someone stopped her about the donations.

It wasn’t for anything else, just to respond to the activity of respecting and caring for the elderly, bringing warmth to the five-guarantee households, and asking everyone to donate.

”The more, the better. If you have money, donate money; if you don’t, donate goods. It’s all about love for the elderly. Contribute as you feel.” The one holding the donation box was Sister-in-law Gao, Gao Linbing’s wife.

What are the chances, a fundraising cluster!

Cheng Su had just dealt with the ”forced big donation” matter, was already feeling a bit irritated, and now hearing this, her heart skipped a beat.

”Is there a mandatory minimum amount to donate?” Cheng Su asked with a smile.

Better to ask clearly, otherwise if she donated too little, who knows if someone might call her stingy.

”It’s all up to you; you can donate ten to several tens if you want, or just a few dollars, or even donate goods. No mandatory amount!” Sister-in-law Gao replied with a smile.

”How much did you donate, Sister-in-law? I’ll donate the same as you!” Cheng Su asked, meaning not to make a show of herself.

Sister-in-law Gao was about to reply when someone interjected, saying, ”Oh come on, Sister-in-law Qi, how can Sister-in-law Gao compare with you? You’re doing big business, making money every day, of course, you should donate more, right, everyone?”

With these words, both Cheng Su and Sister-in-law Gao’s faces changed. Cheng Su was annoyed; here we go again, just because she makes more money, she’s a target!

Sister-in-law Gao felt awkward and a bit annoyed, glancing at the spouse, clearly displeased.

What’s the meaning of this, in the whole community who can compare with Cheng Su, it’s known she’s well-off, and yet this person had to bring it up. Is this praising or mocking?

Cheng Su was already simmering with anger, and upon hearing this couldn’t help but want to erupt, looking at the spouse she said, ”Donations are about personal intention, is there a rule that big business owners should donate more? Moreover, us business people earn with our hands and feet, and you make it sound like it’s as easy as a breeze blowing in money. So, according to you, every business person must donate a lot just to show they care?”

The spouse’s face turned red with embarrassment.

”Exactly, exactly, there’s no mandatory rule. Sister-in-law Qi, just follow your inclination!” Sister-in-law Gao forced a smile.

Cheng Su said, ”Sister-in-law Gao, whatever you donate, I’ll just donate one dollar less. You are older than me, I dare not compete with you.”

”Look at you, what are you saying, it’s all about care, what’s there to compete? I didn’t donate much, just ten dollars.” Sister-in-law Gao smiled.

Cheng Su indeed counted nine dollars from her purse and stuffed it into the donation box.

Everyone seeing this broke into laughter: ”Sister-in-law Qi always takes jokes so seriously.”

The spouse slinked away in embarrassment.

Cheng Su then said, ”It’s a good thing to bring warmth to the five-guarantee households. This is my personal donation. Later, I’ll have the company send a batch of jam as a token of our company’s love for the elderly. Sister-in-law Gao, later give me a count, allocate one bottle per household for me. And give me a date for the delivery, so I can plan accordingly.”

”Oh, that would be lovely, then I’ll get back to you with the tally?” Sister-in-law Gao knew about those jams; they were quite expensive, even the cheapest pineapple jam cost a dollar a pound, how could those five-guarantee households be willing to eat it?

But Cheng Su had the company donate a batch, although it was under the company’s name, it was actually also her personal intention.
