Chapter 1188: Heated Online Discussion
At this moment, families all over the country were staring at the girl on their LCD TVs.A middle-aged uncle who knew nothing about the entertainment industry held his rice bowl and chuckled. "What a rarity, to actually see such a pretty, striking girl on the prime-time news. An entrepreneur? Two hundred billion? Tsk tsk, that’s badass."
There are so many big and small entrepreneurs in the country, but how many have you seen appear on the prime-time news and be introduced to the whole nation?
The middle-aged and elderly might not get it, but the young people who happened to see this news were dumbfounded—she donated two hundred billion for research institutes, and it was completely free of charge...
Two hundred billion!
Do you even grasp that concept?
In a newspaper office, a group of reporters gearing up for overtime were huddled around a table, wolfing down boxed meals while mumbling through mouthfuls of food about their next moves.
Su Li’s beautiful face suddenly popped up on the TV news, and the group who’d been eating like a wildfire instantly fell silent.
A male intern who had just joined blushed slightly and said, "She really is pretty. It’s such a waste she didn’t debut as a star."
That lovely face, those delicate, flawless features were more like a piece of perfect, pristine snow jade. Her figure curved out in all the right places, alluring to the extreme. Even if she stood next to the hottest A‑list star, she wouldn’t be the least bit overshadowed. Her aura was calm and elegant; one glance and you could tell she was a young lady raised on the rich water and soil of a wealthy family.
With looks like that, not debuting really is a damn waste!
The editor-in-chief lifted his hand and smacked the intern hard on the head, spraying a grain of rice from his mouth as he cursed, "Is now the time to discuss how good-looking Su Li is? Fuck, she donated two hundred billion to research institutes and made it onto the prime-time news, she’s been officially certified! Fuck fuck fuck, go rewrite the reports, are you stupid?"
Everyone looked at each other, then unconsciously glanced at the half-finished meals on the table.
"Still eating? Eat my ass! If you keep eating, go home and eat cold air!" the editor-in-chief roared, and shot out of the conference room like a streak of smoke.
The forty-second segment from the prime-time news was screencapped and thrown online, and the previously yapping gossip-hungry netizens suddenly went quiet.
A free donation of two hundred billion, to fund research for institutes!
——"No wonder there were rumors yesterday that CCTV reporters went to interview her, it was for this, huh? The report says she filed the donation and funding application more than half a month ago, so it totally wasn’t something she did only after the game company went wrong."
——"Even if I were rich, I couldn’t bring myself to donate two hundred billion. Who was it that said she’d fallen into a pit of money and only cared about making cash? Like hell, even if you invest in game companies till you die, you’re not making back two hundred billion, right?"
——"Badass. No wonder she could make the prime-time news, this woman’s a big shot!"
...
Less than an hour after the prime-time news aired, the gossip-hungry netizens who’d mocked Su Li for being money-obsessed and only knowing how to make cash had all shut up.
You seriously wanna call this money-grubbing? You go try donating two hundred billion, for fuck’s sake.
A well-known Hua Country entrepreneur even posted on Weibo, "I have immense respect for President Su! As an entrepreneur who climbed to where I am today and has done charity many times over, I still couldn’t bring myself to donate two hundred billion to scientific research. Respect!"
It triggered a massive wave of reposts and heated discussion online.
Star Sky Entertainment has been around this long—have they even made two hundred billion in profit? At most, it’s just around two hundred billion!
She gave all of that to scientific research beforehand, so who still dares say that Su Li fell into a pit of money?
National research projects have always been the biggest time sink, energy sink, and money sink. For a single project, even if you burn through tens of billions, hundreds of billions, you might not see any results.
Which is why it’s insanely hard for researchers to secure funding for their projects!
