Chapter 154 Charity
Today's dinner is mainly for awarding prizes.
The various awards had nothing to do with Su Ran and Lu Xi. Plus, their seats were really far from the stage, so they could only see the silhouettes of the award presenters and couldn’t even see what their faces looked like.
So, while the awards were being given out, Su Ran and Lu Xi were secretly chatting downstairs.
The time spent chatting always passed especially quickly. Soon, the award ceremony was over. The staff carried the charity auction table onto the stage and began to call on everyone present to donate generously to the suffering people.
Seeing everyone around him take out an envelope and hand it to the staff, Lu Xi's eyes widened, "Why do they all have envelopes? Is it a hard requirement? It's not written on my invitation letter."
Su Ran also found it strange. She turned her head to look at the other members of the crew and saw that they were also looking at the people around them with confused expressions.
Although Su Ran didn't understand the reason, she read a lot of novels.
At the first moment, Su Ran guessed that they might have been set up by someone.
Seeing that the staff was about to walk to their row with the boxes, Su Ran leaned close to Lu Xi's ear and said a few words to him.
In fact, Lu Xi didn't understand what Su Ran meant at all, and didn't know why Su Ran asked her to do this, but she still followed Su Ran's instructions obediently.
When the staff came over and was about to speak, Lu Xi fell towards the staff in a dizzy state.
The staff quickly supported her, "Ms. Lu? Are you okay?"
Lu Xi opened his eyes and frowned, "I feel a little dizzy, could you please pour me a glass of water? Thank you."
The staff member had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, then please wait a moment."
Soon, the staff brought a bottle of water to Lu Xi. Seeing that Lu Xi was not feeling well, the staff asked Su Ran, "Hello, please hand over your charity donation."
"Okay." Su Ran nodded, "We have already done charity."
The staff member was stunned, lowered his head to look at the list, then looked up, "I'm sorry, Miss Su, we don't have any record here, please stop joking."
"You don't want to donate at all." The man who was just scolded by Su Ran said sarcastically, "Some people have enough jewelry to equal the annual income of a poor village, but they are unwilling to do even a little charity."
"Ms. Su, you should donate a little. You are not short of money, so why do you have to be so fussy about doing good deeds? The invitation clearly states that this dinner is a charity dinner. If you come to the dinner but don't bring any charity donations, it would be bad if people say you are eating for free."
Even when the staff came over with the donation box, a group of cameras had already gathered around.
The scene at this moment, as well as the conversations of other crew members, were all recorded by the camera and transmitted to the live broadcast room.
[Look at what she is wearing. It is enough to build many Hope Primary Schools. But she is unwilling to donate even this little money. How disgusting.]
[Celebrities are all like this, glamorous on the surface, but actually dirty and low-class inside. I don't know who says such people are beautiful. What's the point of having a pretty face?]
[That's right, look at Wang Ke, even though he's not as pretty as Su Ran and Lu Xi, he gave one million, he's really kind.]
At the banquet, other people's attention gradually focused on the "Green Orange" crew.
Once this reputation of being stingy and unwilling to do charity is confirmed, not only will Su Ran and Lu Xi be implicated, but even the currently popular TV series will be greatly affected.
Lu Xi also knew at this time that they must have been cheated, but she was not very panicked. She looked at Su Ran with trust. Sure enough, Su Ran looked calm and seemed to have found a solution.
The staff member continued to press, "If you two don't have donation money, then use jewelry."
Su Ran finally spoke, "Okay, I want to see the details of donations from previous years and where they were used in the end. Please show it to me first."
The staff member's face changed slightly, "Ms. Su, if you don't want to donate, we won't force you. Aren't you being a little unreasonable?"
"Wow." Lu Xi exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wanting to see the detailed account of donations is unreasonable??? You don't even have this, right? Where did the donated money go?"
Su Ran then said, "Since you don't give me a detailed account, I won't donate it to you. However, since the theme of today is charity, we must donate it."
The staff member's expression just eased a little when Su Ran said, "I just contacted the officials of a national poverty-stricken county and have already agreed with them that our crew will bear the nutritional meal subsidies for their local schools for the next 20 years."
"........."
After hearing Su Ran's words, the staff wanted to refute but couldn't find any reasons.
In the end, the staff could only leave with gloomy faces, and other people who wanted to watch the fun also left with their own thoughts.
"Bao, you are so smart." Lu Xi sat next to Su Ran. "This trick will not only save the donated money, but also avoid their trap."
"I think these people here tonight have bad intentions. Mr. Huang will not let this go."
