Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 376 Public Execution in Front of Everyone at the Bazaar Charity Night

If there were a ranking of scheming women in the Chinese entertainment industry, Aunt Zhang would definitely be on the list, ranking near the top.

"International Zhang" was originally a joke, but she took it seriously.

He piggybacked on Jackie Chan's Hollywood birthday party, the Huo family's prestige, and Zhang Yimou's awards ceremony; he even shamelessly tried to curry favor with the eldest daughter of the LV family...

In the end, it gained an "international" reputation.

She also displayed her cunning on various occasions in the country, even deliberately showing off her shoulder when taking a group photo.

She is the only celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry who openly and shamelessly schemes and plots.

The red carpet was cancelled today, and Aunt Zhang Ziyi, dressed in haute couture, spotted the best live-streaming spot.

If someone else had been sitting in that seat, Jiang Beicheng wouldn't have paid attention to Aunt Zhang's scheming behavior. The fact that someone was willing to give up their seat for her was a matter of "face" for her.

But Zheng Jiamin was sitting in that seat, and she dared to ask her to give up her seat?

Jiang Beichen gave her a look, and after Shen Teng prompted her, she noticed Jiang Beichen's attitude and politely smiled.

He put on a friendly demeanor and smiled at Zheng Jiamin, saying, "Please sit down, I'll come over and say hello to Shen Teng."

He placed his hands on Zheng Jiamin's shoulders and didn't forget to praise her singing.

She understood that tonight's charity gala was Jiang Beicheng's "private dinner," and she had to be polite and give Jiang Beicheng face.

With so many big names, entrepreneurs, and social celebrities present, it would be incredibly embarrassing if President Jiang used them as an example to criticize them.

After praising Zheng Jiamin, he immediately sat back down in his original seat.

Jiang Beicheng also took his seat in the front row.

The hosts tonight are Deng Chao and Han Hong.

After he took his seat, the banquet officially began.

The two hosted the event according to the established procedure.

After the opening remarks, Jiang Beicheng was invited to the stage to introduce the "Jiang Baba Charity Foundation" and the theme of tonight's charity dinner.

"Good evening, fellow entrepreneurs and artists. I am Jiang Beicheng, the founder of the Jiang Baba Charity Foundation. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend tonight's charity event and to contribute your love with the Jiang Baba Charity Foundation."

There was warm applause.

It lasted a long time.

Some second-tier female artists and newcomers even compete with each other when it comes to clapping.

It seems that clapping is also an important way for them to attract President Jiang's attention.

They worked very hard.

Jiang Beicheng explained, "The Jiang Baba Charity Foundation is a public welfare charity organization established to support left-behind children and elderly people in rural areas..."

Please watch a video first.

I gave a brief introduction to the charitable foundation.

The video provides a detailed description.

In the ten-minute video, two scenes particularly resonated with the guests at the scene and the viewers in the live stream.

One scene shows left-behind children huddling together for warmth in a rural primary school. They sit close together around a pile of firewood, their small bodies pressed against each other, their faces red from the cold, but their smiles radiant.

One scene shows an interview with an 83-year-old grandmother who is limping along the road, dragging firewood. When the reporter asks about her children, she shakes her head and says, "I have five daughters, all of whom are married and haven't come back for four or five years."

After saying that, she raised her hand and wiped away a tear.

"It made me cry; it reminded me of my grandma."

"A very meaningful video."

"Middle-aged people are really helpless. It's hard to balance making money and spending time with parents. I hope my parents are in good health."

"The organizers put a lot of thought into it, and they really captured the real lives of elderly people living alone in rural areas today."

"Ah~, the times~, alas!"

Do you have the children's contact information? I'd like to send them some winter supplies.

"..."

The banquet was also filled with enthusiastic applause.

After the video finished playing, Jiang Beicheng went back on stage and said, "I am a hiking enthusiast and have been to many remote areas. The footage shown in the video is just the tip of the iceberg."

We hope that tonight's event will raise public awareness of the two groups of left-behind children and left-behind elderly.

Before the official activities begin, let's lighten the mood a bit.

The words had barely left his lips.

The large screen on the stage began playing an interview video of Su Mang by Sina Entertainment.

The interview, which lasted several minutes, was completely unedited and uncensored. Laughter erupted from the audience even before it finished playing, particularly from the area where business leaders and socialites were seated; their laughter was quite pronounced.

Celebrities have more or less some interaction with Su Mang, and even if they want to laugh, they only show some micro-expressions.

They really didn't expect Jiangbei City to broadcast the original video of Su Mang's interview so directly without blurring it out.

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Ms. Su's remarks have put a lot of pressure on our Shangcheng team. President Wu is handling this event under pressure."

The reason we didn't respond before was that we didn't want things to escalate and deviate from the original intention of this event.

Now I would like to take this opportunity to publicly respond to Ms. Su's questions.

The production team just told me that the number of viewers in several Douyin live streams has reached 1500 million, and the number is still rising.

"So many people are watching the live stream?"

"It's over, Su Mang is going to be publicly executed by President Jiang."

"President Jiang's move was too vicious."

"We can't afford to offend President Jiang."

"I really can't hold it in anymore, please stop pointing the camera at me during the live stream, let me laugh."

"..."

The artists in the audience were discussing it.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "This Ms. Su questioned the difficulty in attracting sponsors for the Shangcheng Charity Gala."

He simply shrugged.

This action caused the audience to burst into laughter.

I find President Jiang very interesting.

Jiang Beicheng: "I'm inviting everyone over for a get-together tonight for dinner. Do I need anyone else to sponsor it?"
"When you guests treat others to meals, you don't usually let others pay, do you?"

“No need, Mr. Jiang is very generous,” Liu Yifei replied.

Very loud sound.

She's openly taking sides.

In fact, she had mocked the Bazaar Charity Night on Weibo back then, and the original meaning of the post was that people with different goals cannot work together.

Today, Jiang Beicheng came out to confront Su Mang, the former president of Bazaar Fashion Group, and she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Thank you, Qianqian," Jiang Beicheng said with a smile.

Liu Yifei made a heart shape with her hands for him.

This kind of interaction is normal, and few people would guess in other directions.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "The entrepreneurs present today are a formidable group, with businesses spanning multiple sectors such as automobiles, fast-moving consumer goods, the internet, and apparel."

Ladies and gentlemen, if I were to ask you for sponsorship, you would surely grant me that request, wouldn't you?

"Give!"

"We must give President Jiang face."

"Support President Jiang and support charitable causes."

"..."

People were very supportive.

Jiang Beicheng asked, "Is it difficult to attract investment and sponsorship?"

The audience burst into warm applause again.

"The main reason I didn't accept the sponsorship is that I think the brand owners are too troublesome and difficult to please. If we had to follow their requirements, this dinner tonight would probably take four or five hours, and all the dishes on the table would have to be reheated," Jiang Beichen joked.

"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, President Jiang is so funny, I'm dying of laughter."

"Only President Jiang would dare to speak like that."

"I think we can serve cold dishes directly."

"..."

Jiang Beicheng said, "Considering everyone's long journey, we will shorten the duration of the event and end it earlier so that everyone can go back to the hotel and get some rest."

"Ms. Su's second question is that the Shangcheng Charity Gala's ability to raise funds cannot be compared with the Bazaar Charity Night." Jiang Beicheng said speechlessly, "Does charity need to be quantified? Does everyone's love need to be quantified?"

If that's the case, I'll quantify it here today.

What was the highest amount raised at the Bazaar Charity Night?

7500?
Okay, as the founder of the Jiang Baba Charity Foundation, I'd like to donate 100 million yuan here first.
