C4 Financial Crisis

Ji Xinqing looked at the children in the photo one by one, then fixed her eyes on the two large words on top of the photo.

In the starry sky.

It was a charity.

It was a charity that Ji Xinqing had set up specifically for Meng Lanshan.

In the beginning, Ji Xinqing only wanted to cure Meng Lanshan, and hoped that Meng Lanshan, like the other children, would laugh and cry.

In the beginning, there were only a few people in the organization who were volunteers. Their children were also autistic, and Ji Xinqing had recruited them because she wanted to gain experience in treating autistic children.

But who would have thought that the institution would grow day by day.

By now, "Starry Night" had become the only big charity in the capital whose goal was to treat autism.

With the development of these years, more and more parents are willing to send their children here for treatment.

And the child in the photo was the first subject to be treated by "Starry Sky".

Their illness was much less severe than Meng Lanshan's. After treatment, they were able to obtain an effective cure. Perhaps they were behaving like a spoiled child in the arms of their parents?

Ji Xinqing heaved a sigh of relief.

She believed that one day her Lanshan would get better and one day she would call her "mother".

Ji Xinqing put away the photo again, washed her face and rinsed her mouth before going to bed.

Her head was dizzy from the fever and she fell asleep after a while.

When Ji Xinqing woke up the next day, she found that there was no one by her side.

Meng Qinyue really did not return for the entire night.

She kept trying to persuade herself to believe Meng Qinyue, but when she thought back to the many photos on her phone, Ji Xinqing still felt like there was a thorn in her chest.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about Meng Qinyue.

At this moment, his phone rang.

It was the vice president of the "Starry Sky" organization, Yang Qi.

Ji Xinqing frowned as she answered the call. "What's the matter, Qi?"

Yang Qi was a capable woman.

A year ago, it was precisely because Ji Xinqing took a fancy to her that she was promoted to vice president. After that, she was given full authority over the organization while he was the one who left her in the lurch.

Yang Qi rarely called her.

But this time …

Ji Xinqing asked again, "Qi, did something happen at the institute?"

"Yes, President." Yang Qi replied, "Something big has happened at the organization."

Ji Xinqing sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her forehead. "Don't worry. Tell me everything clearly."

Yang Qi gave a brief report and added, "President, I've already sent many people to negotiate, but Boss Wang refused to give up. He refused to give us any more financial aid, so I came to find you because I had no other choice."

"Boss Wang has already supported us for two years. Why did you suddenly withdraw your fund?"

"I don't know either. Boss Wang doesn't want to say anything."

"How long can the organization last?"

Yang Qi paused for a moment before replying, "I've calculated the amount of funds collected by the organization. It should be around 50,000 yuan, which should be able to last for about two more weeks."

"How about this, let's keep this a secret for now. Give me Boss Wang's contact details and I'll see if there's any chance for a return."

"Got it, President."

After hanging up, Ji Xinqing received a text message from Yang Qi.

It was still early, so it wasn't appropriate to call Boss Wang at this time.

Ji Xinqing walked to Meng Lanshan's bedroom.

Meng Lanshan had already woken up. Ji Xinqing patiently helped her get dressed before handing her over to the butler.

After breakfast, Ji Xinqing walked to a small corner of the courtyard and dialed Boss Wang's number.

After the call connected, Ji Xinqing immediately laughed, "Hello? Boss Wang? It's me, the Guild Leader of 'Starry Night'. Ji Xinqing, do you remember? "

Boss Wang was stunned for a long time before reacting, "Oh, it's Chairman Ji, you called this morning —"

"I'm so sorry, Boss Wang. Sorry to disturb you so early."

With a very obscure tone, Boss Wang immediately guessed the reason, "Chairman Ji, is it because of the funds?"

After pausing for a moment, he said with determination, "Chairman Ji, I won't hide it from you. This matter can't be discussed. I considered for a month before deciding to withdraw the funds."

Ji Xinqing had been president for three years after all. She stayed silent for a while and then said, "Boss Wang, is there really no turning back anymore? "As you know, many of the departments of 'Starry Sky' require funds to operate their activities. But once you withdraw your funds, that would be equivalent to forcing 'Starry Sky' into a corner?"

Boss Wang smiled, "Chairman Ji, do you know why I chose this organization?"

"Why?"

"Because 'Starry Night' is the only charity in the capital that treats children with autism. Being a sponsor of 'Starry Night' definitely has a higher value than other charities!"

Ji Xinqing couldn't help but ask, "Then why are you —"

"Hey, Chairman Ji, don't be in such a hurry. Listen to what I have to say first." Boss Wang interrupted her, then smiled and said, "Me? I am a businessman. Businessmen never do business that loses money. Chairman Ji, can I trouble you to help me calculate how much money I have invested into your institution in the past two years? "

Ji Xinqing paused for a moment before replying, "Nearly a million."

Boss Wang sighed, "Yes, in two years time, it's almost a million. But in these two years, what did I get? "Chairman Ji, answer me, what did I get from your organization?"

Ji Xinqing secretly tightened her grip on her phone and replied softly, "Boss Wang, the parents of those children are very grateful to you."

Boss Wang was stunned, but then said, "Okay, Chairman Ji, let me ask you another question."

"Yes, ask away."

"Can I exchange those gratitude for money? Can I use it to exchange people's connections? Can I get everything I want? "

"No."

"Right, you can't. Those gratitude are worthless. I have wasted two years of my life in your organization."

"So, Boss Wang, you must withdraw your investment no matter what?"

Boss Wang sighed and said, "Chairman Ji, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your organization consumes too much money, but as a businessman, I really can't afford it."

"Chairman Ji, I also advise you to close this charity as soon as possible. It won't be gone for long. With so much money invested, only a few children will be cured. This is simply an organization that eats money."

Boss Wang kindly said this and hung up the phone.

Ji Xinqing stood in the yard and sighed as she looked at the screen of her cell phone.

"Ji Xinqing!" Why are you standing there stealing laziness! I didn't know that it's a family gathering today. Quickly get the hell over here and help! " Wang Jianfen stood in the doorway with a sarcastic expression on her face.

"It's Mom." Ji Xinqing answered and returned to the living room.
