At this moment, everyone, including the second-in-command of Huaxia, the major families, and the Xia family, were all staring at the Xia Group.
That was why they were here.
The Xia Group was going to set foot in an industry in the capital. They had to know what the industry was and be prepared to drive the Xia Group away. That was their goal. At this moment, 80% of the people here were in cahoots with the Xia family.
They were planning to suppress the Xia Group today.
If the second-in-command of Huaxia hadn't suddenly appeared, they would have started their own actions.
Xu Lao was still smiling. "I don't know about this. Our boss only told me that he's going to start a project in the capital. I don't know what the project is, but we'll know soon."
"Mr. Xu, you're using your boss as an excuse, but who doesn't know that the Xia Group is managed by the four major shareholders? As for your boss, he's just a figurehead," the man continued to ask.
"No, you're wrong. Everyone in the Xia Group respects our boss very much. Without him, the Xia Group wouldn't exist. Plus, we'll do whatever he says. Even if he asks us to close the Xia Group tomorrow and disband it, we'll do it without hesitation," Xu Lao said calmly.
Wow!
Hearing Xu Lao's words, everyone was more curious about the boss of the Xia Group. They couldn't figure out who the boss of the Xia Group was and why he was so charming.
"Oh, how much is the Xia Group going to donate this time? Last time, you donated 30 billion dollars. This time, you're going to donate 18 billion, "that person said sarcastically.
Everyone thought that the Xia Group's donation this time was just a formality. Their real purpose was to expand their influence in the capital.
Therefore, the Xia Group definitely didn't plan to donate much. Now that he asked that question, it was obvious that he wanted to embarrass the Xia Group.
"It shouldn't be less than what you're donating," Xu Lao said.
Mr. Huo stood aside and didn't say anything. He and Xu Lao had a tacit understanding. One of them was always the good guy and the other the bad guy. With Mr. Huo's personality, it was best for him to be the bad guy.
Now was the time when they needed a gigolo, so they needed Elder Xu to speak.
"Elder Xu, you must be joking. What am I? I'm just a small fry. How can the small amount of money I donate compare to yours? However, I heard that several big families in Jingdu are planning to do their part for the people. After all, the people who died in this disaster are the sons and daughters of China, so we have to contribute to the disaster area and set an example for the people below." That person's words changed the topic. What he meant was that he was just a small fry, so the amount he donated was definitely not a lot. However, there were a lot of people out there, and with Xiatian's status, it was only right for him to compare with those people.
"Hmph, compared to who? How can our Xia Group be lacking? As long as it's something that can contribute to Huaxia, we're willing to do it, "Elder Huo finally spoke.
The moment he opened his mouth, there was a strong smell of gunpowder.
His sudden words shocked that person. Elder Huo was not an ordinary person. He had been the boss of the underworld for decades. When he stood there and did not speak, he looked like an ordinary old man. However, when he spoke, he had the aura of a superior.
It made that person feel like he was a lackey.
"Hehe, you must be Elder Huo," that person laughed awkwardly.
"That's me," Elder Huo spoke in a very loud voice that made people feel that he was imposing.
"Elder Huo, can you reveal how much money you're donating tonight?" Asked that person again.
"Are you here to donate or to be a reporter? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Most of the people from the charity association are here, right? Let's start when it's time. This is a donation for the disaster area. The sooner it's over, the better. If you drink more here, the supplies will arrive a few minutes later. "Although Elder Huo's words were a little harsh, they were very reasonable.
"I think that everyone shouldn't waste any more time. It's about time. Let's start the donation. Miss Yang, thank you for your hard work," the second-in-command of Huaxia said very amiably.
"Thank you, Chief," Yang Ziqi said and walked directly to the stage.
"Welcome everyone to this charity association. I won't say much. Donating to the disaster area is a good tradition of every Huaxia citizen. No matter how much we donate, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the people in the disaster area. This is because every little bit of your contribution can make someone eat. Now, I announce that the donation officially begins." Yang Ziqi spoke naturally and generously.
It sounded like she had a sense of propriety.
"Hmph!" Young Master Ruan had finished bandaging his wound. He walked back with two other celebrities.
When he came back, he glanced at Xiatian, then directly sat beside Xiatian and the others. Another person walked over. It was Chief Chen. Now that it was finally time for the donation, how could he not come over to mock Xiatian?
He would not miss such a good opportunity.
"Yo, Bing Bing, the donation has started. How much is this gentleman beside you going to donate?" Chief Chen smiled sarcastically. "I remember that someone said that he would donate more than me. I just decided. Today, I'm going to donate 3.5 million."
Chief Chen said proudly. Although he was also an entrepreneur, even entrepreneurs would not donate much. After all, in the eyes of some people, this kind of donation was forced and not voluntary.
If they did not donate, public opinion would build momentum, and that would be detrimental to their business.
"This gentleman is going to donate 3.5 million. Then I'll donate 3.5 million too. Boy, what about you?" Young Master Ruan said lightly. He could see that Chief Chen was hostile to Xiatian, so he also went up to add a little.
"All of you are good. As long as you donate money to the disaster area, no matter how much it is, it's good." Xiatian praised from the bottom of his heart. Although these people were obviously looking for trouble, they were still donating to the disaster area. No matter what their purpose was, they had contributed to the disaster area.
"Hmph, boy, don't tell me you're saying this because you want to donate less?" Chief Chen said disdainfully. He thought that Xiatian said that he did not care about how much it was to give himself a way out.
However, he still nodded to Young Master Ruan.
He naturally knew Young Master Ruan, but they were not familiar. Moreover, he was an entrepreneur, and Young Master Ruan was a rich second-generation heir. Now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The two of them naturally became friends.
