I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 293 Fang Qingye donated money, but you donated your life!

Fang Qingye and Bai Ou stayed in the county town for three days. Accompanied by Li Ye and Liu Xigesang, they visited local natural attractions such as Taoping Qiang Village, Bipenggou, and Miyaluo. On October 6, they left by bus, first going to Chengdu and then taking a plane back to Jinghai.

Before they left, Li Ye and Liu Xigesang saw them off at the bus station, and brought a large amount of local specialties, all of which were gifts from Li Ye and Liu Xigesang's family.

"After Uncle Liu reports to the county leaders, you'll probably have to come again in the future, probably for a donation ceremony or something," Li Ye said.

"Okay, I'll contact you then." Fang Qingye readily agreed, after all, the necessary procedures for tens of millions of yuan must be completed.

"Li Ye, if you bring Gesang back to your Zhejiang province, come visit Nanxin sometime!" Bai Ou extended an invitation.

“I went back to my hometown for the Spring Festival this year, and Gesang wanted to go with me. She’s never been to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area before,” Li Ye said with a smile. “If I have time, I will definitely visit you in Nanxin.”

"Alright, we're off! Take care!"

"Bon Voyage!"

The two boarded the bus, and on the way back to Chengdu, Bai Ou said with a smile, "Ye Zi, you had a really fun trip to Aba."

"Yes, the scenery here is indeed quite nice."

"Hey, you donated tens of millions, you must be pretty happy," Bai Ou asked playfully.

"Of course, giving roses leaves a lingering fragrance," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

Back in Nanxin in the afternoon, Bai Ou drove to Jinghai for her shift early the next day, while Fang Qingye enthusiastically invited Miao Hongbin to go fishing for a day.

On October 7, the long holiday ended and everyone went back to work. A few days later, Fang Qingye received a call from Liu Changning of Lixian County, who said that after he reported to the relevant leaders, the county leaders attached great importance to it and opened a special account according to their suggestions, and invited him to Lixian County to hold a donation ceremony.

Fang Qingye gladly went, but Bai Ou naturally couldn't go with her this time. Li Li had been busy reviewing the financial statements submitted by various companies these past few days, and Fang Qingye felt it wouldn't be convenient for her to bring a girl along.

It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go alone. This is an official invitation, and a CEO of a prestigious company should have an entourage, right?
He thought of Wang Yu and immediately called him, asking him to come with him to western Sichuan.

"This is a business trip. Book two tickets from Shanghai to Chengdu first, and I'll tell General Manager Luo about your leave request."

Being able to go on a business trip with the boss is certainly a very happy thing. Not to mention that there is a business trip allowance according to regulations, even if there isn't, it's still better than staying in the company all day by himself—although he has now been rotated to the human resources department.

Without even asking what they were going to do in western Sichuan, they immediately went online to buy tickets.

Early this morning, Wang Yu arrived at the entrance of Fang Qingye's residential area with his luggage. As instructed by his boss yesterday, he was to go to the company in Shanghai first, and then take a plane to Chengdu.

Not long after, a Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of the community gate. Wang Yu recognized the license plate as Fang Qingye's car and quickly went to meet it.

The car stopped, and Fang Qingye stuck her head out of the window and asked, "Can you drive?"

"Oh, no," Wang Yu quickly replied.

Fang Qingye sighed and said, "After you get back, sign up for driving school and start learning as soon as possible!"

"Okay, boss." Wang Yu put his travel bag in the trunk and then sat in the passenger seat.

The two drove to a small restaurant and ate a bowl of noodles before leaving the county and getting on the highway heading south.

"Boss, where in western Sichuan are we going this time? What are we going to do?" Wang Yu asked curiously.

"I went to Lixian County in Bazhou Prefecture, western Sichuan." Fang Qingye briefly recounted the situation she encountered during her trip to western Sichuan during the National Day holiday.

When he heard that 3000 million yuan was to be donated, Wang Yu was stunned. After a moment, he said, "Boss, you are so generous. You just gave 3000 million yuan."

"You don't understand," Fang Qingye said slowly, gripping the steering wheel with both hands. "A person can't be without money, but too little is also bad. A person can't keep too much money. If there's too much, it's not a blessing but a curse. You have to spend what you need to spend. Spending money like this is more meaningful." "Using money to avoid trouble?!" Wang Yu suddenly blurted out.

"Nonsense!" Fang Qingye cursed, but a slight smile appeared on her face.

The two rushed to the company in Shanghai. Following the instructions made over the phone, Fang Qingye instructed Li Li to first transfer 3000 million yuan to the designated account, and then continue to donate if needed.

He left the car in the courtyard downstairs at the company and took a plane to Chengdu that afternoon.

After spending a night in Chengdu, they took a bus to Lixian County early the next morning. When the two of them got off the bus, they were greeted not by Li Ye and Liu Xigesang, but by Liu Wenning and several men.

Several cars were parked nearby.

"President Fang, this is County Head Zhang, who is in charge of education," Liu Wenning said, pointing to a plump middle-aged man in an administrative jacket at the head of the group.

"Hello, County Chief Zhang."

"Hello, Mr. Fang, you must be tired from your journey." County Chief Zhang warmly shook Fang Qingye's hand.

"It's not hard, it should be."

"This is Director Wang of the County Education Bureau," Liu Wenning introduced another middle-aged man next to him. After the two met, Fang Qingye was invited into a car and then the car drove into the city.

After checking into a hotel in the county town, where a suite was arranged for Fang Qingye, County Chief Zhang said:

"President Fang, please take a rest. We'll have lunch at 12 o'clock, and I'll come pick you up then. As arranged, around 2:30 pm, Governor Luo will meet with you for a talk. Around 3 pm, a donation ceremony will be held in the government conference room. At that time, Governor Luo, Governor Yang in charge of education, and other leaders will be there, as well as Secretary Tang and County Head Zhao from the county.

"Okay, everything will proceed as you have planned," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

These were all part of the itinerary that had been discussed in advance, so Fang Qingye naturally wouldn't say anything.

After the group left, Wang Yu looked at them with admiration and said, "Wow, boss, you're amazing! Even the top official of the state is coming."

Fang Qingye smiled faintly: "This is called mutual respect. They're here for the 3000 million. Don't think you're so great."

"Hehe, I know. There are millions of rich people in the world, so why don't others donate but you do? That's why I think you're great!"

Fang Qingye smiled slightly: "Alright, stop flattering me. How's your alcohol tolerance?"

"So-so, I can drink half a jin of baijiu without any problem."

"Okay, I'm counting on you tonight."

At 2:30 p.m., Governor Luo of Aba Prefecture held a cordial meeting with the CEO of Tuofang Commerce and Technology Investment Co., Ltd. in the reception room of Lixian County Government. The Vice Governor in charge of education, as well as county leaders such as the Secretary and County Head of Lixian County, accompanied him.

At 3 p.m., a donation ceremony for special funds for private and substitute teachers in Lixian County was held in the county government conference room, with relevant leaders from the prefecture and county in attendance.

Topway Technology CEO Fang Qingye and Lixian County Mayor Zhao Siyuan signed their names on the donation document, exchanged documents and shook hands, and the venue erupted in enthusiastic applause. Reporters from Lixian TV, Aba Prefecture TV and Sichuan TV, and other media outlets attended the signing ceremony.

Fang Qingye later gave an interview to reporters. In the interview, she said that both her parents were teachers, and she had always held this noble profession in high esteem. When she visited friends in Lixian County and heard about the practical difficulties they faced, she decided to donate funds to do her part for grassroots education in rural areas.
Li Ye and Liu Xigesang also saw this news in their dormitory at school that evening.

After seeing Fang Qingye say these words to the camera, Li Ye exclaimed, "This classmate of mine used to be a bit of a slacker in college, like playing games and skipping classes. I never expected her to change so much after graduation. Amazing! I admire her!"

"I think you're amazing," Liu Xigesang said, looking at Li Ye. "You gave up such a great environment and future in Shanghai, traveling thousands of miles to come to our mountain village. Fang Qingye donated money, but you donated your life! That's why I admire you even more! I like you!"

Li Ye smiled and gently took the girl's hand.
