I'll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 732: A Tight Slap To Her Face

"The battlefield in Central Asia?" Su Yang put down the [Grass-Eating Iron Pot] in his hand and looked at the Clown Sea Serpent in confusion.

The Clown Sea Serpent then explained, "For the sake of oil hegemony, the United States has been stirring up trouble in Central Asia. So, several countries in Central Asia are in chaos.

"King Latin had connections with the governor, so he started selling firearms and even sent mercenaries to Central Asia.

"Initially, they sent five teams, a total of 50 people. They would fight in shifts throughout the year to train their soldiers.

"But later on, Janet and I kept on dealing with them all the time, didn't we? Thus, in order to protect themselves, they had no choice but to withdraw three teams to return to Hawaii.

"In the end… We killed two of their teams.

"Now, because of their lack of manpower, the battlefield in Central Asia is getting tighter. Most of the defensive lines that they are responsible for have been penetrated, so they've suffered heavy losses."

Su Yang was speechless.

"They should call for help then. Isn't America a rich and powerful country? They shouldn't be bothered about the lives of these people. After all, they only think of 100,000 people as just another number."

the Clown Sea Serpent laughed awkwardly. "Then wouldn't we be letting others have it easy?

"Whatever it is, King Latin is part of our forces now."

Su Yang stared at the Clown Sea Serpent for a while and said with a faint smile, "You're not actually sad that we've suffered losses within our forces, aren't you? You just want to go play on the battlefield, right?"

The Clown Sea Serpent scratched its greasy hair and said shyly, "I see that I still can't hide from you, Master."

Su Yang did not say anything but turned around and continued cooking. He opened the pot, pulled out a drawer and took out a few blades of grass. Then, he picked up a marker and wrote down the names of the dishes on the blades of grass… [A bowl of rice], [Pickled Vegetables With Pork Belly], [Spicy Boiled Meat Slices] and [Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds]. Finally, he placed them neatly into the pot, covered them, and lit the fire.

After dinner, Su Yang looked at the Clown Sea Serpent and said sternly, "The battlefield isn't as easy as you think."

At this point, the Clown Sea Serpent actually burst out with confidence. "Master, it's not as difficult as you think. Actually… I do have some skills."

Su Yang thought about how the Clown Sea Serpent had only used ten hours to recover from its charred state yesterday. Of course, Su Yang knew that he was not that simple.

However, Su Yang had other considerations. "I don't see how this is beneficial to me."

The Clown Sea Serpent seemed to have known that Su Yang would say that. His lips curled into a smile as he whispered into Su Yang's ear.

After that, Su Yang's pupils shrunk as he looked at the Clown Sea Serpent in shock. "Really?"

the Clown Sea Serpent nodded confidently.

Hesitation flashed across Su Yang's face. In the end, he waved his hand. "Don't cause too huge of a scene, keep it discreet if possible."

A dazzling smile appeared on the Clown Sea Serpent's face. "Don't worry, Master. If I fail, I'll come back with my head chopped off!"

Su Yang was speechless.

Right now, Su Yang was starting to suspect that the Clown Sea Serpent's ability was "Immortality". 'Who knows… He might actually be able to come back to me with his chopped head…

While Su Yang and the Clown Sea Serpent were discussing the battlefield in Central Asia, the ceremony for the Shanghai TV Public Service Video finally started.

In the main hall of Shanghai TV Station, many staff were busy preparing as they decorated the stage and the venue.

Amongst the audience, the contestants who were nominated for the finals had already arrived at the studio and were waiting patiently for the show to begin as they sat.

Perhaps because the result had not been announced to the public yet, the contestants still had a lot of anticipation on their faces, hoping that they would win. However, Bubbles was the only exception as she sat alone in the back row, her feet resting on the back of the chair in front of her. As she ate her lollipop, she held her glass phone and played her game leisurely.

It was rare for her to wear normal clothes that day, a T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts. Coupled with her fair legs, she looked youthful and beautiful.

This little vixen naturally attracted a lot of attention. Some of the male staff at the scene looked at her from time to time, but none of them caught her attention.

Other than her, only Liao Duoduo was equally calm.

She had already heard the result from the TV Station's director, so she did not have any expectations for today's award ceremony. In fact, if it were not for her love for keeping her reputation sound, she probably would not have attended.

After all, the winner was Young Master Ying's friend, Su Yang, not her.

This also caused Liao Duoduo's heart to ache every time she thought about the one million yuan reward. Especially when she spent more than 100 thousand yuan to film this charity video, it made her heart ache even more.

Therefore, she was searching for Su Yang with hatred in her eyes with the intention of killing him with her gaze.

However, it was a pity that she could not find Su Yang even after searching for a few rounds. Hence, she could not help but wonder if Su Yang was not going to be present.

'In that case… Would I have a chance to reverse the situation?'

Although Liao Duoduo knew that the probability was very low, she was still a human after all. What difference would a human be to a salted fish if the former did not have dreams. Therefore, Liao Duoduo hypnotized herself and started to look forward to it.

As time ticked by, Su Yang still did not appear even when the program started. Hence, Liao Duoduo's eyes lit up and her heart started to race. 'Is Su Yang really not coming? Could my Uncle Director have prepared a surprise for me?'

However, Liao Duoduo herself felt that she was daydreaming, but perhaps because of this thought, her posture involuntarily became more standard as she raised her head and waited for the program to begin.

Very soon, the recording began. The host went on stage and introduced the event before playing the videos of the participants. After that, he invited the finalists onto the stage.

Thus, Liao Duoduo was the first to go on stage, which the director of the TV station had especially arranged for her to increase her exposure.

After that, apart from her and Bubbles, the other four producers went onto the stage one by one.

When Liao Duoduo saw that Su Yang did not appear on the stage, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

At that moment, the host said, "Now, let's welcome the producer and director of "Protect Our Environment", Director Bubbles, on stage."

'Bubbles?'

Liao Duoduo became a little confused. 'Wasn't that video produced by Su Yang? Why has there been a change of person?'

After the host said that, under her gaze, the girl who had been sitting with her legs crossed and eating a lollipop walked onto the stage.

Hence, Liao Duoduo had a confused expression on her face.

'This little girl… Is the director?'

Then, the host asked a few questions about the video, and Bubbles easily answered them. With her pleasing appearance, the show's effect turned out quite well.

However, at that moment, Liao Duoduo's mind was not on the show. Instead, she was wavering.

On one hand, she felt that since Su Yang's representative was present, there was no chance for her to win. On the other hand, she recalled that the director had said that he was giving Su Yang the reward, not the video. Hence, now that Su Yang's absence was a form of disrespect to the TV station, would the director refuse to give him the reward? Would she still have a chance?

While Liao Duoduo was feeling conflicted and fantasizing at the same time, the host also started presenting the award.

As expected, the award was given to Su Yang's representative.

Thus, Liao Duoduo's heart sank as she felt disheartened, but at the same time, she felt that her worries earlier on were ridiculous and could not help but blame everything on Su Yang.

'If it wasn't for the fact that Su Yang isn't here today, I wouldn't have had so many fantasies. If not for him, the one million yuan would be mine!

'One million yuan! It's a sum that ordinary people would only be able to earn over ten years without eating or drinking! It's even a large amount for me!'

Just as she was thinking about this, the host held the microphone and said, "Now that we've confirmed the ownership of this prize money, we have to tell everyone something very touching.

"The winner of the award is Mr. Su Yang, but after he found out that he had won the award, he decided to donate the money to the children in the poor rural areas to contribute to the public welfare industry.

"Although Mr. Su Yang is too busy to be here today, he's brought us a video instead."

After that, Su Yang's video got played on the big screen.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Su Yang. I just heard from the production team that our company has won an award. However, the purpose of this charity video was to do charity and not to earn money.

"Since it's a service for the public, there's no need to be selfish. If there's selfishness involved, it's not public service. Therefore, I followed my original intention and decided to donate this one million yuan to the children in the disaster areas, I hope it would be of some help to them."

At that moment, Liao Duoduo was stunned. 'He's actually donating it away? He's not keeping it at all?'

However, she immediately reacted. 'Hehe, that sounds very nice and great… Donating this one million yuan… But, it's not your money, so it isn't considered to be a charity when you're spending someone else's money.'

Just as she was pestering him endlessly, Su Yang said in the video, "Of course, one million yuan might be too little. Therefore, I will personally contribute another one million yuan into this charity fund."

Liao Duoduo became speechless and felt her face burning up.

Then, she was silent for a moment. In her heart, she still did not want to acknowledge Su Yang. Hence, she found another reason. 'He hasn't clarified who the charity organization is, so it's possible that he's saying that for fun and the money will still end up going into his pocket…'

However, at that moment, Su Yang, who was on the big screen, said, "Also, because I have a lot of work to do, I might not have the time to deal with this fund. Therefore, I have already authorized Shanghai TV Station to handle this matter. My money has already been transferred to the TV station's charity fund account yesterday."

"Clap, clap."

Liao Duoduo became speechless again.

Liao Duoduo was a little anxious in her heart as she really did not want to believe this fact. 'Who knows, you might have conspired with the TV station! After all, I know that the TV station has got many shady dealings…'

Then, Su Yang smiled and said, "Lastly, because this money is a public donation, I've requested for the TV station to reveal the details of how this money gets spent on Weibo every week. The details of the purchase of supplies, donations and so on will be clearly declared. So, I hope that everyone can supervise it with me.

"Thank you, everyone!"

"Clap, clap, clap."

At that moment, Liao Duoduo felt… Her face hurts.

When Su Yang's video ended, Liao Duoduo's face was filled with confusion.

It was easy for people to fall into a deep and endless abyss, especially when they were the ones who jumped in themselves. Since Liao Duoduo had always been hostile towards Su Yang, this was the reason why she did not want to believe that Su Yang was a virtuous person who was not interested in money.

However, now that everything was placed in front of her, she finally had to believe everything. 'Could it be true that… I've actually misunderstood this person?'

Following that, the host announced the measures related to the TV station. The TV station will set up a public account to operate the charity fund. At the same time, the TV station will also invest two million yuan into the account together with Su Yang's two million yuan.

After that was how the funds would be operated. They will not accept external donations for the time being. Every detail of its expenses would be clearly declared and they would be implemented on public welfare as soon as possible.

Overall, it would be done professionally and transparently.

After the program was done recording, the overall effect was outstanding. Although the other contestants did not receive any awards, they did not feel like they had lost anything since "Su Yang did not receive any bonuses" as well.

Bubbles, on the other hand, did not care at all. She was just showing up as a courtesy call and wanted to go back and continue filming.

Thus, Liao Duoduo was the only one who was a little dazed.

After the program ended, Liao Duoduo stood on stage for more than a minute before finally finding the host.

Liao Duoduo had worked with the TV station for so many years, so they were considered acquaintances. Therefore, Liao Duoduo directly asked her question, "Sister Dong, can you tell me the truth? Is the donation real or fake?"

Sister Dong, the hostess, kept her flashcards and said with a smile, "Of course it's real. Who would dare to fake such a transparent account? Besides, it's not worth offending Mr. Su over a few million yuan."

Liao Duoduo sharply caught the information that host Dong knew about Su Yang. "Mr. Su? Is he really a big boss? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Sister Dong took off her earpiece as he said, "He's very famous in Shanghai. Plus, he's also very famous in the country. Last year, he was ranked 137th on the World's Billionaire List with a net worth of 8.8 billion yuan. The people behind him are all big shots like Chen Tianqiao and Zhou Hongwei. But, the most important thing to remember is that he's only 19 years old, a young and promising man."

Liao Duoduo's mouth widened.

'137th on the World's Billionaire List?

'His net worth is 88 billion yuan?

'Is this… That ordinary-looking young man I met previously?'

Liao Duoduo was in disbelief.

Sister Dong looked at her curiously. "What's the matter? You didn't know about this?"

Liao Duoduo gave a wry smile. "I didn't."

Sister Dong smiled as if it did not matter. "It's only normal that you don't know. After all, he's quite far behind the ranking's list. Just like how we know that the world's highest mountain is Mount Everest, but we don't know which is the second and the third highest, right?

"Even if we do know it, how about the 137th highest? Does anyone know?

"If I didn't have the finance information with me, I probably wouldn't know Mr Su's identity either."

'That does make sense…'

When she saw that Liao Duoduo had listened to what she had just said, Sister Dong packed up her things and then waved her hand. "Well then, I'm going to go remove my makeup first, Duoduo. If you need anything, let me know."

"Oh, okay, Sister Dong."

After Sister Dong left, Liao Duoduo was still in a daze.

She felt like she was dreaming and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.

'The world is so magical. It's as if my ex has come and met me one day and told me that he's the son of Ma Yun…

Liao Duoduo sat down in the audience and slowly calmed herself down.

However, the more she tried to calm down, the more unsettled she became.

She thought about Su Yang's identity and how pretentious she was in front of him. Hence, she could not help but blush.

She felt like an ant that was being challenged by an elephant.

Then, she thought about how she suspected Su Yang's identity and suspected that Su Yang would "steal" that one million yuan bonus and… Her face turned even redder.

'His net worth is 8.8 billion yuan! If he were to save it all in the bank, the annual interest rate would be a few hundred million yuan, so why would he even care about that one million yuan!

'I've been such a joke recently!'

At the thought of this, Liao Duoduo felt like a fool and only wanted to find a hole to hide in…

…

At the same time, Liao Duoduo was not the only one who wanted to hide in a hole… Su Yang too.

This was because… He was being asked to "remit payment" over and over again…
