Chapter 879 - 262: [The Most Important Person] (7000)_2
"Hm, how do you plan to arrange things?"
Lin Xianyu smiled, carrying a hint of pride in her tone: "Don’t worry, these past few months, I’ve gained experience doing these things.
I’ve had my assistant buy things today: first, a batch of children’s clothing and daily necessities, plus a truckload of rice, flour, and cooking oil. As for books and stationery, I haven’t bought them yet; we’ve got to figure out the specific situation—like how many children are there now, whether they’re preschool or school-aged..."
Chen Yan nodded: "It seems you’ve arranged everything well."
"It’s still necessary to look at the site, seeing it in person—and the company has made some requests of me. These past few months I’ve been donating and doing charity work, which the company actually objects to quite a bit, since it delays them from making money.
But ultimately, everyone negotiated and compromised mutually; I do charity, and the company provides filming and promotion.
Our company’s boss was cornered by me and had no choice but to offer this condition; his idea is that if I insist on doing this, then at least try to recover some losses; at the very least, charity work shouldn’t be done quietly, it should be accompanied by publicity.
By doing this, although I can’t make money for them, I can at least earn some reputation and traffic."
There’s really nothing to criticize here; it’s business after all, since Lin Xianyu, this cash cow, refuses to work, the company can only make such a compromise, settling for earning some traffic and reputation, which is fine.
Chen Yan thinks this is quite good.
There was once a news story about a retired football star with a very good public image, whose email correspondence with his agency was leaked. The email revealed dissatisfaction with some charity donation projects arranged by the agency, even giving the impression that he was angry with the agency for wasting money he earned...
After the email leak, it sparked huge public opinion—because this football star’s public image had always been one of enthusiasm for charity and kindness.
After the leak, many people began to curse this football star, calling him a hypocritical villain, accusing him of spending money to buy a good name, and even worse things...
Chen Yan feels... these netizens are just bored.
Regardless of what he thought personally, the ironclad fact is that this football star had actually spent millions, even tens of millions, on charity over the years.
This money was really spent—whether or not his heart was willing.
In many matters, it’s the actions that count, not the intentions; even if his heart wasn’t willing, but he truly spent so much money, then he is a great benefactor!
And Lin Xianyu’s approach is actually quite similar.
She’s doing charity with personal motives, earning merit, accumulating merit points to gain citizenship in the Heavenly Dao of this realm.
Otherwise, as a fox from the Demon Race, she’d hardly be bothered with the life and death of humans, right?
But, you see if she didn’t actually donate most of her assets!
And say if such a huge sum of money didn’t really help many people!

"Later, after the things are purchased, the assistant will come here to pick us up. We’ll go to that welfare institute, donate on site, and inspect it too.
The company has sent a photographer along, to take some photos and videos of me donating on site, which will be used as publicity materials for the next round in a few days."
Lin Xianyu said, taking out her phone and glancing at it: "The assistant says he’ll come around ten to pick us up."
Chen Yan nodded; he knew these matters could be left to Lin Xianyu, no need for him to worry.
However, Lin Xianyu curiously looked at Chen Yan: "Lord Immortal Official, yesterday at the dining place, those two people bullying the child, you... don’t intend to give them a slight punishment? Let them off so easily?"
"What do you mean?"
"I see Lord Immortal Official, you are not someone who is soft-hearted."
Chen Yan chuckled: "I have my arrangements, you don’t need to worry."
"Alright!"
Lin Xianyu leaned back on the sofa and stretched lazily; her naturally curvaceous figure displayed its charm all the more in this posture, alluring and seductive.
Chen Yan didn’t even blink, completely ignoring this top trend flower.
Well, she’s not a person, she’s a fox.
Chen Someone is definitely not a furry enthusiast!

Around ten o’clock, Lin Xianyu received a call from a little assistant.
After ending the call, Lin Xianyu gave Chen Yan a strange look.
"What’s up?"
"Hmm, my assistant is downstairs now, we can leave anytime—the things are all purchased."
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, glancing at this jumpy fox, feeling like she was a bit insincere.
After taking the call, her expression was clearly a bit strange.
Previously, out of courtesy, Chen Yan hadn’t used Divine Sense to eavesdrop on the call.
"That’s it? Nothing else?"
"...Yeah, that’s it." Lin Xianyu quickly waved her hand.
Chen Yan watched this character, doubting internally but not thinking too much.
After all, they aren’t very familiar, and even if she has things to hide, he doesn’t need to pry into her privacy.
Then the two went downstairs, Lin Xianyu still wearing a mask.
At the hotel lobby entrance downstairs, a business van was parked there waiting, the little assistant carefully watching the surroundings. Seeing Lin Xianyu and Chen Yan come out, he quickly invited them into the car and swiftly shut the door.
Chen Yan noticed that in the hotel courtyard, a small truck loaded with a lot of goods was parked.
