Chapter 824  : Stern-Faced and Cold-Hearted Third Master Fu, Strong Refusal and Slap in the Face (1)

Yunjin Prime Manor...

After Song Fengwan went downstairs, she saw that there were a total of five people here. Other than the girl in the wheelchair, almost all of them were in their thirties or forties. There were men and women sitting on the sofa. Although they were smiling, they all looked nervous.

Fu Chen was sitting in an armchair, stroking the cat with a relaxed expression. Niannian was lying comfortably on his lap with a satisfied expression.

They seemed to want to say something to Fu Chen, but they didn’t speak for a long time. When they saw Song Fengwan coming downstairs, they became even more reserved.

Song Fengwan didn’t know them. She smiled and nodded in greeting.

!!

“There’s some food at the dining table. Eat something to fill your stomach first.” Fu Chen’s tone was gentle as he sent her away.

But in Yunjin Prime Manor, the kitchen and dining room were almost all half open. Even though Song Fengwan was sitting at the dining table, she could see everything happening in the living room clearly. She could even hear their conversation clearly.

Fu Chen’s fingers gently stroked the cat’s back. “If you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here.”

“Third Master, I’m really sorry to disturb you during the holidays. This is something we brought. Please don’t mind.” The man pointed at the pile of red gift boxes on the table.

“I also feel very embarrassed to disturb you at this time.”

...

The man hesitated, but Fu Chen’s eyes were calm. “President Gao, let’s get straight to the point.”

“It’s still about the document your company issued at the end of December. You’ve always been donating to us, and we’re very grateful. But the conditions you gave this time are a little...”

Actually, Fu Chen had already guessed the reason when they came looking for him. He appeared very calm. “A little what?”

“You raised the threshold for financial assistance, which will prevent many people from getting support.”

Fu Chen reached out to stroke the cat. “My threshold isn’t high. I just want people receiving assistance to provide me with the medical records for the past two years...

“In the past, as long as there was proof, our company’s reviews were very lax. Almost everyone who applied could get the corresponding assistance. You know very well whether there’s any exaggeration or not.

“Many of them emphasize that they’ve lost their ability to work. I can’t possibly raise them for the rest of their lives just because of their disability.

“To put it bluntly, can you guarantee that no one cheated to get assistance?”

President Gao’s face flushed slightly.

It was because of Tang Jingci’s incident...

Recently, a lot of fake family situations had been exposed on the internet, and there were even people who had lied about their conditions to get donations on various crowdfunding websites. Actually, their family conditions were not yet at the point where they needed financial assistance. This caused a very bad social impact.

...

Many people in the same industry knew that some people really used this to gain profits.

They just didn’t expect Fu Chen to be so straightforward. The group of people instantly felt embarrassed.

Fu Chen’s tone was calm from beginning to end. “Raising the threshold is just to spend the money where it’s needed. After all, no one’s money comes from nowhere.”

At this moment, Miss Nie, in the wheelchair, said, “Third Master Fu, do you mean that we deliberately cheated you of your money?

“We have files here. They’re all seriously ill people, and many of them are incapable of movement.

“Could it be that everyone deliberately became paralyzed to gain sympathy and cheat that bit of money?”

“Little Nie!” President Gao shouted, trying to stop her.

“President, I just want to ask what he means by doing this. Now, the outside world is spreading that he raised the threshold for financial assistance and blocked the number of people receiving support because we were filling our own pockets. They’re even attacking us and saying that we’re committing fraud.

“Third Master, isn’t your approach biased?! It’s too hurtful.

“We should be grateful for your funding, but you can’t bully us like this just because you have money.

“It’s just a small number of people taking advantage of loopholes to cheat money. But by doing this, you’re hurting more people who should be helped!”

...

Song Fengwan was listening seriously as she watched Miss Nie speak passionately and point her finger at Fu Chen.

This feeling made her inexplicably think of the many Mary Sue idol dramas she had watched in the past. The female lead acted the same. Then the male lead would criticize her in his heart:

This woman is so bold, but she’s also very special.

A passionate girl and a domineering CEO, wasn’t this just a romantic drama?

At this moment, Fu Chen was already a little impatient. If he knew that Song Fengwan thought about him like this, he would probably vomit blood.

She had really watched too many melodramatic dramas.

“Little Nie, stop talking!” President Gao and the people around him stopped her. “Third Master, I’m sorry. She’s just a little agitated.”
