Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Found His Clue (Part 2)
All I can say is, the woman in front of me is completely different from Xiao Shulan and the others. Her actions are far more ruthless than they appear. That sudden remark about cutting off his foundation’s funds, directly leaving him to drink the northwest wind, isn’t something just anyone can do.
Gu Nuan came out to meet the guest in a simple white shirt and black trousers. She saw the man standing up from the sofa in the living room, of medium build, short and stout, like a stout block, with a round, glossy face.
Do all those who work in charity have to look like a fat Maitreya Buddha?
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Gu Nuan said as she walked into the living room.
Chairman Hong smiled immediately upon hearing her words and said, "Not at all. Please have a seat, young madam."
That last remark made by the other party made Butler Xiao frown instantly, wondering who this person thought they were.
Who could it be? Such a person, able to manage something as pivotal as the Xiao Family, helping Xiao Jianming create a legacy that would pass on for generations, is far more important than a company leader.
Because a company might go bankrupt, but a charity foundation, well, it’s likely to live longer than a company.
Gu Nuan originally didn’t pay much attention to charity foundations. Her interest began when her husband suddenly spoke to her parents on the mountain at that time.
Her husband certainly didn’t do this for no reason. To put it bluntly, it was due to inheriting the traditions of his parents; it may very well be because of this.
Based on this, she definitely has to keep an eye on what he’s concerned about.
Before Gu Nuan sat down, Chairman Hong had already planted himself on the sofa. His weight even made the sofa legs creak.
Gu Nuan initially estimated his weight to be at least over 150 jin.
Chairman Hong couldn’t wait for her to speak and opened his mouth eagerly, as Gu Nuan had kept him waiting here for too long, nearly grinding away his patience. Now he could finally open up and vent all his frustration.
"Young madam, I can understand why you’re eager to speak with me; you’re worried that the charitable funds might run into some issues. Rest assured, young madam, all these years, the Xiao Charity Foundation has never had any problems."
The Xiao Charity Foundation? A fleeting light passed through Gu Nuan’s eyes without leaving a trace.
She hadn’t planned to ask about this right away. Yet the other party was in such a rush to explain something to her?
So this charity foundation wasn’t established by Xiao Jianming and his wife. It was founded after Ruan Ruzhen’s death, probably by Xiao Jianming, to honor his late mother and keep her name alive. This is why he established such a foundation. As for Mingxin Hospital, it was set up by Xiao Jianming after his wife’s death.
Previously, Gu Nuan had really not investigated this thoroughly, so she was utterly unaware. She suddenly thought of seeking out Chairman Hong to talk because, as mentioned before, her husband was concerned about the charitable funds.
"Now, what exactly does the Xiao Charity Foundation do, and what are the expenses?" Gu Nuan asked a fundamental question.
Chairman Hong smiled immediately upon hearing her question, clearly viewing her as a naive girl and proceeded to lecture, saying, "It’s really inexcusable that the young madam is unaware. The chairman is a businessman who loves doing charity and has always enjoyed a wonderful reputation in the charitable world. Our foundation has done a great deal to benefit the masses. I probably can’t explain everything to the young madam right now. Perhaps, young madam, you could visit us sometime."
