The tall, bald, black man asked in English, which made him stand out among the crowd of Chinese speakers. In addition, he was as tall as a walking electric pole. He was at least a head taller than the others, so he immediately became the center of attention.
The female reporter was suddenly excited. She was keenly aware that her luck had come. She might have happened to encounter a real exclusive news. She gave a look to the cameraman behind her, asking him to carefully film the black man's words and actions to see what he was looking for Zhang Zian for.
Zhang Zian was also looking at the bald black man, but after looking at him several times, he was sure that he did not know him. He had never seen him before. His features were very obvious. If he had seen him before, he would definitely remember him.
The bald black man was wearing a well-ironed suit, a light blue shirt, and black leather shoes. The material of the suit was not very high-end, but it was very tidy.
Zhang Zian nodded and replied in English, "Yes, I am Zhang Zian."
The bald black man was relieved. He took out a business card from the business card holder and handed it to him. "Hello, nice to meet you! I am Eddy Lewis, the director of the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation Donation Office. I have finally found you! "
Hearing the name of the Matthew Davis Foundation, Zhang Zian could not help but be surprised.
This foundation was the organization that Kathy had gifted her inheritance to. Zhang Zian later donated the income from the sale of the Abyssinian cats to this organization, but in Kathy's name.
He had never expected that the other party would actually come to him. How did they find him here?
"Hello, nice to meet you!" He took the business card, looked at it quickly, and shook hands with the other party.
Eddy grinned, showing his big white teeth. He glanced at the female reporter and the cameraman next to him. "Sorry, did I disturb you?"
"No!" Zhang Zian and the female reporter said in unison.
The former did not want to continue to be entangled with the latter, while the latter was happy to watch the fun. As for her and Zhang Zian, they could talk about it later.
Eddy was even more confused. The two seemed to be quarreling with each other just now. How did they suddenly talk like they were the same person?
Since the two said that they did not disturb him, he did not stand on ceremony and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"I am very sorry for visiting without an appointment. On behalf of the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Thank you for your generous donation! It is because of you and the other donors that we know that we are not alone on the road to conquering cancer! "
Everyone present who could understand English was stunned.
Those who did not understand English began to ask around. What did the bald black man just say? Why did everyone look like they had seen a ghost?
Zhao Qi worked in the company's foreign trade department and often traveled abroad, so she was good at English. She took it upon herself to translate Eddy's words to the others.
No one, including Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yi Yun, knew that Zhang Zian had secretly donated money to a foreign cancer research foundation. They opened their mouths in confusion.
The others were even more clueless.
However, there was one thing that everyone could guess. If Zhang Zian had secretly donated money to the Cancer Research Association, there was no reason for him not to fulfill his promise to donate to the United Nations World Food Program.
If anyone had previously suspected that Zhang Zian was making fraudulent donations, they no longer had any doubts now.
At the thought of this, everyone looked at the female reporter with disdain because she was obviously gauging the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure.
It was a good thing to get to the bottom of the donation fraud, but if it hurt the hearts of the real donors, that would be the most despicable thing!
The one who was most embarrassed was the female reporter herself. If it was someone else, they would have run away out of shame. However, she was thick-skinned and went with the flow. She asked Eddy in English, "Hello, Mr. Lewis. I am a reporter from Global Entertainment. Regarding Mr. Zhang Zian's donation to your foundation, can I ask you a few questions?"
Everyone cursed. How could a person be so shameless to this extent?
Unfortunately, Eddy did not understand Chinese, and the name "Global Entertainment" was too domineering. He thought that she was a reporter from China's top media, so he did not dare to slight her. He nodded in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Sure, go ahead."
Zhang Zian wanted to stop her, but since Eddy had already agreed, there was no other way.
The female reporter passed the microphone over. "Can you please tell my audience in detail about the process of Mr. Zhang Zian's donation to your foundation? We are very curious because this is the first time we have heard about it. "
"Of course, it's my pleasure." Eddy smiled and recalled. "I remember it very clearly, and I'm afraid I will never forget it in this life. It was a day during the Lunar New Year in China. It was raining in San Francisco, and it was my turn to be on duty in the foundation's donation office that day. Suddenly, I received a strange phone call. "
He glanced at Zhang Zian. "The person who called claimed to be Katherine Donna Ryan and wanted to donate to our foundation. You may not know this, but Ms. Ryan had repeatedly made large donations to our foundation before, so I remember her voice. Strangely enough, a search revealed that Ms. Ryan had already passed away. Her last donation came from her executor, Mr. Adams. "
Eddy's story attracted everyone's attention. Everyone held their breath and listened quietly.
"This phone call came from Binhai City, China. Ms. Ryan claimed that she was not dead, but that the doctor had mistakenly issued a death certificate. She was currently traveling in China. At that time, I believed it and went through the donation procedures for her, but after hanging up the phone, I found a number of suspicious points. After a simple investigation and communication with Lawyer Adams, I finally guessed the truth of the matter. It was Mr. Zhang Zian who generously donated to our foundation in the name of Ms. Ryan. "
"This kind of donation happened more than once, and all the staff of the foundation were deeply moved, but we pretended not to know. In addition to helping out at the foundation, I also have another official job. Taking the opportunity of coming to China to attend the working conference, I decided to come to Binhai City on the way. On behalf of my colleagues at the foundation, I would like to express my sincere respect to Mr. Zhang Zian and Ms. Ryan! "
"And …"
As he said that, he magically took out a bunch of bright yellow daisies from behind him. "Please allow me to dedicate this bunch of flowers to Ms. Ryan."
The bright yellow daisies were far less luxurious and bright than the golden tulips, but they had their own elegant and distant temperament, as if they were calm after being washed of their glory.
Zhang Zian was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to indicate the inside of the shop. "Please come in. Cathy is inside."
Without anyone needing to say anything, the crowd of onlookers spontaneously divided into two and made way for a passage to the store.
