Just as Li Dong was feeling uneasy, the organizer had calculated the total amount of donations for the night.
"96.86 million!"
This figure made the organizer overjoyed. The Deputy Director of the Department of Civil Affairs, who was attending the gala, was grinning from ear to ear.
A charity gala had raised more than 90 million. This had broken the previous record.
The year before last, Jiangbei had also held a charity gala. But that time, it had only raised 30 million. Today, it had tripled, which was out of the organizer's expectations.
Of course, this was also related to the economic development of the past few years.
Another point was that tonight's major donors, Far away, Energy Group, and Nonferrous Metals Group, had donated nearly 50 million, which accounted for more than half of the total amount.
As soon as the organizer announced the results, Hsu Shengzhe said, "Tonight's charity gala has raised nearly 100 million. Longhua Group has always been committed to charity, and I am also a strong supporter of charity. Tonight, I will personally donate 3.14 million! "
"Clap, clap, clap!"
A round of warm applause sounded. The leader of the Department of Civil Affairs smiled and bowed slightly to Hsu Shengzhe.
Together with the 3.14 million from Hsu Shengzhe, the total amount of donations for the night had exceeded 100 million!
This was a great political achievement. The leaders of the Department of Civil Affairs were extremely grateful to Longhua and Far away.
The Deputy Director of the Department of Civil Affairs walked down the stage and shook hands with the leaders of the table.
When it was Li Dong's table, the Deputy Director held Li Dong's hands tightly and said affectionately, "Thank you, General Manager Li, for your support to the people of Su 'an!"
Li Dong quickly replied politely, "Director Wu, you are too polite. This is our responsibility. Far away is a part of Jiangbei. When one side is in trouble, all sides will help. This is a virtue passed down by our ancestors. Li Dong does not dare to take credit for it. "
The deputy director's smile widened, and his hand, which was holding Li Dong's, trembled a few times.
Li Dong was not interested in the old man. After holding his hand for a while, he hurriedly retracted his hand. This old man's skin was especially slippery. After holding his hand for a while, Li Dong felt that his hand was stained with oil. It was quite uncomfortable.
Li Dong was not the only one present. The deputy director naturally could not waste too much time with Li Dong.
Just as he was about to go to the next table, a staff member from the Civil Affairs Department hurried over and whispered a few words into the Deputy Director's ear.
The deputy director's expression changed slightly, and then he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
After everyone quietened down, the Deputy Director said with a smile, "Everyone, please calm down. Everyone is dedicated to charity, and your acts of love have touched Jiangbei. In order to thank everyone for supporting the people of Su 'an, the leaders of the provincial party committee have personally come to the venue to thank everyone. Please give them a round of applause. "
Pa pa!
The applause was like thunder. Compared to the applause from before, this applause was definitely not perfunctory.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the entrance of the studio. The deputy director also led a few leaders of the organizers to welcome them.
Hu Xiaorui, who was beside Li Dong, clapped and said mysteriously, "Li Dong, do you know who is coming?"
Li Dong said without batting an eyelid, "He should at least be a deputy governor."
Hu Xiaorui said with a look of disdain, "Isn't your information too outdated? If it's just a deputy governor, do you think the Nonferrous Metals and Energy Group can come? "
The leaders of these two companies were also at the deputy ministerial level. If it was just a deputy governor, these two companies might not necessarily give face to him.
Li Dong clapped and asked tentatively, "Then do you know who it is?"
"Of course. Let me tell you, I spent a lot of money to find out this information. Tonight, I came …"
"Boom!"
Li Dong did not hear the latter part of Hu Xiaorui's words, because the studio was filled with thunderous applause.
Li Dong looked at the door, and a group of seven or eight people just stepped into the studio.
Li Dong didn't know who the others were paying attention to, but the corner of his mouth twitched. This was because he saw someone he didn't expect.
Shen Qian!
At this moment, Shen Qian is very low-key, walking at the back of the team. When the team entered the hall, Shen Qian quietly left the team.
Li Dong saw her looking around the crowd, then gave him a wink and tiptoed towards him.
Li Dong grinned, and only then did he have time to pay attention to the people who just came in.
Li Dong didn't pay much attention to the others. His eyes were on the man at the front of the team.
He was in his fifties or sixties, with a square face and black hair. He didn't look special, just an ordinary old man.
But the man's eyes are very special. Under Li Dong's direct gaze, he felt a little sharp, as if he was doing something small in class and was discovered by the teacher. But from another angle, he felt very gentle.
These are two different temperaments, but Li Dong can feel it, and it doesn't feel strange.
The man's walking speed is not fast, but every step is steady.
When the man walked to the center of the crowd, he slowly stopped.
The deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department is about to introduce him to the crowd, but the man gently waved his hand, then smiled and pressed his hands together. "Everyone, there is no need to applaud, I am flattered."
The crowd laughed, and then stopped applauding.
The man smiled again, and a staff member next to him passed a microphone over, but the man gently waved his hand and refused.
Then, under the surprised eyes of the crowd, the man suddenly bowed deeply and said in a deep voice, "On behalf of the people of Jiangbei, on behalf of the provincial government, I sincerely thank you for your generosity!"
The crowd was slightly stunned, and then burst into applause that shocked the whole audience.
There are nearly 300 guests in the studio today, but there are really very few people who don't know this man.
Even Li Dong, a guy who doesn't care about politics, recognized who the man in front of him is at first glance.
Du Anmin, the big brother of Jiangbei.
In the first half hour of the news broadcast, all the television stations in Jiangbei are his world. Between 6: 30 to 7: 00, Du Anmin's figure almost occupies the main space of the local news all year round.
Many people didn't expect Du Anmin to come.
Of course, there are also many people who know about it.
For example, the Nonferrous Metals Group, the Energy Group, and some other large enterprises.
Other than them, Li Dong also vaguely guessed it.
From the moment Shen Qian let him be in the limelight, from the moment Shen Qian didn't accompany him to the dinner, Li Dong roughly knew who was coming.
But guessing is just guessing, when this person really came, Li Dong still felt a little surprised.
In the past, this kind of charity party has been held, but at most, the deputy governor came to support the scene.
Sometimes, if the scale is small, not to mention the deputy department, the main hall is enough.
But today, it turned out to be Du Anmin, the top big brother of Jiangbei.
Du Anmin didn't say too many polite words. He bowed to thank everyone, which is a little out of line.
Then, Deputy Director Wu reported to Du Anmin tonight's results, which specifically mentioned a few enterprises and individuals, Li Dong and Far away are impressively among them.
Du Anmin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then shook hands with everyone to thank them.
Li Dong couldn't care less about Shen Qian. When Du Anmin walked to him, Li Dong quickly went up to him and held the old man's slightly dry palm with both hands.
Du Anmin stared at Li Dong for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Very good, General Manager Li and Far Away are the mainstays of Jiangbei. I believe that you will go further."
Li Dong heard this and quickly said, "Thank you, Secretary Du. I will continue to work hard."
Du Anmin smiled, nodded, and walked to the next table.
Li Dong still maintained the posture of shaking hands. After a while, he looked at Shen Qian with a black face and said, "30 million!"
Shen Qian was holding a glass of red wine, and when she heard this, she was surprised and asked, "What 30 million?"
Li Dong gritted his teeth and said, "I donated a total of 30 million for the party. What about the surprise you mentioned?"
Originally, when Shen Qian and Du Anmin came together, Li Dong thought that Shen Qian had already settled Mr. Du.
Even if Mr. Du did not stand up to support Li Dong, he should at least show some goodwill. This way, Li Dong felt that his 30 million was not spent in vain.
But just now, Du Anmin did not say anything at all, and what he said was more or less a cliche.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Dong not be disappointed?
If Shen Qian did not tempt him with the surprise, Li Dong would not have spent so much money.
Far Away was already short of money. Even if Li Dong was charitable, he would not have given more than Longhua Group, let alone Nonferrous Metals and Energy. Five million should be the limit.
Unexpectedly, although Mr. Du came, he did not give Li Dong any special treatment.
Didn't this mean that his 30 million was all for naught?
Shen Qian said carelessly, "Can you be generous for once? What's wrong with 30 million? The people of Su 'an are suffering. You have the money to do something. This is merit. Donating and asking for something in return is too snobbish. "
Li Dong glared at her fiercely.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "That makes sense. I will repay you later and give you merit."
Shen Qian ignored him and leisurely savored the red wine in her hand.
Li Dong did not say anything. After a while, he said, "Du Qian, do you like gambling?"
Shen Qian's movements paused, then she glared at him and said angrily, "Li Dong, are you looking for trouble?"
"Who is looking for trouble? I called Du Qian, not you. Why are you angry? Can't you be more magnanimous? "
Shen Qian almost suffered an internal injury. She stomped on Li Dong's foot under the table.
Li Dong sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Crazy, can't you have some manners!"
"You're the crazy one! If you dare call me Du Qian again, I will kill you! "
"Then give me your surprise first. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will kill you first!"
Shen Qian was defeated by his shamelessness and said speechlessly, "Do you know that haste makes waste? Can you not be so anxious? Do you really want Mr. Du to say 'brother, I will protect you later' in front of so many people? Do you think that's possible? "
Li Dong touched his chin and nodded, "That makes sense."
Shen Qian was relieved.
Following that, she heard Li Dong say slyly, "If Secretary Du calls me brother, what do you think you should call me?"
Shen Qian's face darkened and said slowly, "Scram!"
