When they returned, Li Dong knew what had happened.
Shen Qian recorded the news, and Li Dong watched it again.
After reading the news, Li Dong sighed softly and said, "It's too heavy. The backbone of the nation cannot bear it!"
Shen Qian also said. "Yes, this word is too heavy. The leader really thinks that you did a good job this time. Otherwise, he would not say this."
Li Dong smiled bitterly. "Forget it. Since the leader said so, we should just do our best. If someone heard what we said, they might think that we are not doing anything. "
"Then what should we do next?" Shen Qian asked.
"Let's take one step at a time. At least in the future, no one will attack us politically."
Li Dong rubbed his cheeks and then said. "Also, I suspect that Wang Shi is behind the attacks on us on the internet. Vanke is the target of the attacks. How did it suddenly become us? This guy had cheated me in Beijing last time. This time, he wants to cheat me again. I must get even with him! "
Li Dong did not sympathize with Vanke at all. Vanke was also in deep trouble now.
Far away was pulled out of the center of the vortex. The anger of the netizens will only be greater, and they will completely vent their anger on Vanke.
Actually, Li Dong did not like charity that was under the control of public opinion. Doing charity was something that both parties were willing to do.
Li Dong did not mind if others donated less. It was all love.
But Vanke …
The number one real estate developer in Hua Xia!
The leader!
The annual sales is more than 50 billion!
Why don't you just not donate to such a big corporation? If you donate 2 million yuan, you would be slapping yourself in the face, and it would be a resounding slap.
50 billion in sales, the profit of real estate is already high. Donating 2 million is asking for a beating.
Li Dong can only say that Vanke's share price plummeted.
…
May 16th, 72 hours of the golden rescue had passed.
At this time, although the rescue is still continuing, everyone knows that the hope is getting smaller and smaller.
No matter how small the hope is, there is still hope. The rescue team is still working hard.
On the 17th, Tan Yong and his team returned to Shu Du city.
Some of the rescue personnel had already been evacuated, so they were not needed for the time being.
When Tan Yong and the others returned, they immediately fell asleep. All of them had wounds on their bodies.
They slept for a whole day and night. On the 18th, they finally got up weakly.
In the room.
Tan Yong's expression was a little bleak as he said bitterly, "General Manager Li, you don't know this, but when I dug those kids out from the ruins, my heart was almost torn apart. They are about the same age as our children. I can't even imagine what it would be like for me … It's a kindergarten, not far from our newly built elementary school. I really regretted it at that time. General Manager Li, tell me, if we had … "
Li Dong smoked as the smoke swirled in front of his eyes. After a moment, he said, "Old Tan, I know, but I … I …"
Li Dong couldn't continue. Whether it was regret or guilt, it had already happened. What else could he say?
Say that I tried my best?
Saying that he wasn't God and couldn't save everyone?
He couldn't say that out loud, and he couldn't say it out loud.
Sometimes, Li Dong himself wondered why he had chosen 100 schools at that time. Why couldn't he have chosen 200? What about 300?
He had the ability and the capital to do so.
But he didn't do it, because he felt that if he did too much, it would arouse suspicion and cause people to form other associations.
Therefore, Li Dong chose 100 schools.
Li Dong didn't personally experience it, after all, so he didn't know which schools would collapse. 100 schools couldn't cover all of them. There would always be some that were missed out. This was something that Li Dong had expected.
But to be said out loud in front of him, Li Dong still felt a little upset.
Although Shen Qian was sad, she still glared at Tan Yong angrily!
You're poking at Li Dong's heart!
These few days, Shen Qian could tell that Li Dong wasn't in a good mood. Even though the Bureau Chief praised Li Dong and gave him a big gift, Li Dong was still in a bad mood.
Tan Yong just had to mention this now. Wasn't he just causing trouble?
Tan Yong also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but what he said just now was from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that Li Dong was silent, Tan Yong also felt a little guilty. How could he blame the boss for this?
Just as the few of them were silent, Zhao Nanfang entered the room in a panic.
Seeing that Li Dong was here, Zhao Nanfang hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, quickly go out and take a look!"
Li Dong's expression turned serious and he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Nanfang anxiously said, "You'll know once you go out!"
Li Dong hurriedly got up, and the others followed.
…
When they reached the entrance of the hotel, Li Dong already knew what had happened.
A group of children in ragged clothes, with dirty little faces, under the lead of a few exhausted teachers, all of them looked expectantly at the hotel lobby.
When Li Dong and the others went downstairs, the leading female teacher suddenly choked and said, "Students, kowtow to our savior!"
Tens of children who had just been rescued from Wenshan instantly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Dong.
At this moment, Li Dong's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a knife. He even felt like he was suffocating!
Li Dong really wanted to escape. He really wanted to tell them that he wasn't a kind person, nor was he their savior!
It was impossible to say that Li Dong had no selfish motives when he donated the school building previously.
After all, he didn't feel the pain of this matter.
When he donated the school building, his conscience was uneasy. On the other hand, it was to buy fame.
He did it, he did it to the limit!
Fame and praise swarmed in.
Even the Bureau Chief personally praised Far away as the backbone of the nation. How awe-inspiring, how domineering.
These days, the Internet was praising Li Dong and Far away to the heavens.
Actually, when he saw the news that day, Li Dong was quite satisfied. Even though he said it in a harsh tone, he was indeed quite pleased with himself.
However, when he heard what Tan Yong said and saw the children's eyes filled with gratitude, Li Dong suddenly felt that he really couldn't accept such praise.
Actually, he could do better.
Actually, he could do even more!
But he didn't. He told himself that he had tried his best, and he felt that he had tried his best.
Even this time, when he came to Sichuan and personally rushed to the frontlines, Li Dong felt that his conscience was at ease.
But now, facing these children's sincere gazes, Li Dong suddenly felt that he really didn't deserve this praise.
After struggling in his heart for a moment, Li Dong hurriedly helped the teachers and children to get up.
He got the hotel to cook a meal for them and served the children a meal. He also gave them a few sets of clothes. Amidst the children's gratitude, Li Dong sent them out of the hotel.
After everyone left, Li Dong suddenly turned to Shen Qian and said, "In the past, I've always done charity with a purpose, or should I say, hypocrisy. Do you find it disgusting?"
Shen Qian had long noticed that he was a little strange. Hearing that, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Li Dong, don't let your imagination run wild. Charity is charity, there's no such thing as hypocrisy. Regardless of whether there's a purpose or not, let me ask you, did these children benefit from it? If it wasn't for our school building, they … they might not have appeared here today. Since there are people who benefited from it, that's charity, not hypocrisy. You're thinking too much and putting too much pressure on yourself. Really, you've already done enough. "
Li Dong's mouth moved. After a long time, he said, "I know, but this time I want to do charity without a purpose. What do you think?"
Shen Qian calmly said, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to donate 5% of the group's shares to the foundation. In the future, I'll use the dividends of these shares every year to open an orphanage, a nursing home, so that the children can go to school and get ahead. So that the elderly who have lost their children can have someone to rely on in their old age. "
"5% of the shares?"
Shen Qian's face changed slightly. Faraway Group's net assets were probably more than 60 billion yuan.
5% was 3 billion yuan, and this was now. It was not just a matter of money.
Donating 5% was too much!
However, looking at Li Dong's expression, it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Although Shen Qian felt that Li Dong was a bit obsessed, she still nodded and said, "I support you."
As long as he liked it, it was fine. It was just money. It could not be brought with him in life or death. As long as it could make him feel better, Shen Qian did not care about it.
What's more, donating to the foundation meant that the shares could not be sold or traded, and it would not have much impact on the group.
"Phew …"
Li Dong let out a long sigh of relief. This time, he was really relieved.
Let the children grow up healthily and let the elderly enjoy their old age. It was his compensation.
Because of his timidity, because he did not dare to show up, too many people died this time.
Even if he showed up, he might not be able to change anything, but there was always a barrier in his heart.
Previously, this barrier had gradually passed, but today, after being stimulated by Tan Yong and these children, Li Dong felt that he still owed them.
Until now, he was relieved.
This, was the limit of what he could do.
He silently looked into the distance, in the direction of Wen Mountain.
Li Dong silently chanted Buddhist scriptures in his heart. This was for the souls of the dead, and also for himself.
This earthquake, in his heart, had already ended.
Perhaps there were still regrets, but there would always be some regrets in life. He was just a person. Even if he had been reborn, it was still the same. As long as his heart was at peace, it was fine.
…
On the 19th of May, Li Dong did not continue to stay.
What should be done had been done. There was no point in staying.
On the morning of the 19th, Li Dong stepped on the road back.
On this day, the whole country observed a moment of silence.
On this day, Weibo and PP all changed to black and white pages. On this day, Far away video stopped all entertainment programs …
On the way back, Li Dong silently wished them well, hoping that they could be reborn in another space like him.
…
After returning to Pingchuan, Li Dong slept for a very long time.
These days, he was too tired. The interrogation of his heart, the entanglement of his emotions, the trivial matters of his business …
Li Dong was overwhelmed by all these things, and he was exhausted.
Now, he just wanted to have a good sleep.
When he woke up, some things would naturally come to an end.
He slept for a long time, and it was a deep sleep.
