Chapter 240 – Something just felt off about this! (1)

The culprit, on the other hand, had no self-awareness!

Under the dim and blurry light, Lin Yiyi looked up and locked onto a pair of sparkly eyes. Everything that she had wanted to say disappeared.

When their eyes met, Lu Xun asked all of a sudden, “How much are you donating?”

Lin Yiyi was taken aback a little and was distracted successfully. “Probably the same as everyone else. 1M to 2M yuan, in that ballpark.”

She just wanted to be one of the average joes. She would gladly give up the spotlight to whoever wanted it!

Lu Xun nodded and said, “I’ll donate the same amount as you.”

Lin Yiyi gave him a look.

Everybody at the time who were shoved another mouthful of dog food, “……”

Most of the stars attending a charity ball were just there for show…

In the end, stars were just employees. Unlike many of the business men and women there, money may seem to come easy to them, but the hard work that they had put in behind them was not to be overlooked.

They may look glamorous out front but there were all sorts of pain behind that front.

Besides, the more they make, the higher the expenses.

Just like the custom-made outfit that Lin Yiyi had on that cost ten million yuan. These were the norm for events like this. And many of the stars’ outfits were not cheap either.

And these outfits could only be worn once. Never a second time.

As such, all of these award ceremonies and banquets that took place several times a year were all built on money.

The stars showing up for visibility was the norm.

Some of the stars would even donate a million yuan in events like this. That’s what you would call putting your money where your mouth is.

There was no reason to blackmail others morally for making tens of millions or hundreds of millions. They don’t owe anyone anything.

Meng Yan and Zhang Xiying donated 4 million yuan as a couple.

As such, the two of them even went onto the stage to share a few words.

Lin Yiyi wasn’t sure whether she was imaging it or not, but she felt that Meng Yan just looked over in her direction.

“No way. I am donating 5 million yuan,” said the not-so-happy-looking Boss Lu.

Lin Yiyi glanced over at him and said, “Didn’t you just say you are donating the same amount as me?”

Lu Xun paused and went silent.

“I seem to remember that Shengshi is going back to your nephew in the future, right?”

Lin Yiyi had already looked away from him and over at the couple on the stage in front of them. “You should save up for your retirement. That way you at least won’t starve when you were kicked out in the future.”

Lu Xun, “……”

Lu Xun felt that he was being resented.

Tightening his lips, as though he was being treated unfairly somehow, he said, “…. I am rich!”

He was rich. He owned a publicly-traded company, alright!

The two of them were chatting softly with each other quietly. All of the others at the table looked at them suggestively, but none of them could tell what they were talking about.

Had they known that the big boss of Shengshi Entertainment would be someone else in the future, they would probably all lose their minds!

That would certainly be a big news in the entertainment circle!

At the same time, they would also think that Lu Xun must have lost his mind.

Why would anyone return the cake that was in one’s hand?

What was wrong with him?

Lu Xun sighed and said, “Okay. Whatever you say.”

Even though that was an immaterial amount to him.

What’s with that voice that sounded like a little wife who had been treated unfairly?

Under the lights that alternated between light and dark and sparkling nonstop, Lin Yiyi’s lips curved upward and.

Finally, both Lin Yiyi and Lu Xun did what everybody else did and each donated 2 million yuan.

It wasn’t a crazy high amount, but it definitely wasn’t a small amount either.
