Chapter 243
In the activity room, a middle-aged man in his forties stood in front of Quin Lin. He seemed rather
nervous and uneasy. Quin’s gaze was as cold as ice, and she asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Hu, can you
tell me what’s going on?" Mr. Hu felt anxious, and he stammered, "President Lin, this, this..." "Speak
up!" Quin yelled angrily Mr. Hu immediately shuddered in fear, and he said, "This, this lady came to our
orphanage and said that she could help the children. She asked for my cooperation for her live
broadcast. She said that she would buy gifts for the children after that." "Is that all?" Quin asked, and
she stared coldly at Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu spoke with some difficulty, "She, she also gave me 1,000 yuan,
telling me that it was the compensation for my hard work." "1,000 yuan!" Quin said, and she was
enraged. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "Mr. Hu, are you telling me, that for the sake of
1000 yuan, you allowed them to be tortured by this woman on such a cold day ?" "Every year, I donate
more than five hundred thousand to Springlight Orphanage. Are you telling me that you think that this
orphanage lacks one thousand yuan?" Quin asked, and she was furious. She could not accept the fact
that Mr. Hu had cooperated with that woman, and allowed her to torture the children. Mr. Hu was aware
of Quin’s identity and knew that he couldn’t defend himself. He knelt down, slapped himself in the face
and cried out, "President Lin, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have given in to temptation and caused the
children to suffer just for some money. It was my mistake. Please, President Lin, give me another
chance!" As Mr. Hu cried and begged for mercy, Quin gestured her hand coldly. She said, "There is no
need for you to beg me for forgiveness. When I came to the orphanage eight years ago, I gave you a
warning. I said that if you or the children are facing financial issues, you can report to our company and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwe will try our best to assist you. However, I will not allow you to use the orphanage or the children to
earn extra profit. Therefore, please leave. I will arrange for someone else to be in charge of this
orphanage." Mr. Hu was instantly stunned, and then he left the activity room in a daze. When Little
Luna saw Quin’s commanding attitude, she could not resist muttering, "Who is this woman,she seems
so difficult, maybe she’s some company boss or something." Quin turned around and glanced at her.
She said coldly, "Please go and apologize to the children!" "What?" Little Luna said. She was stunned
and yelled, "Are you asking me to apologize to those children? You must be kidding! My live stream
benefited them, but now you want me to apologize to them. You must be joking!" "Benefited them?"
Quin said coldly. She continued, "You wanted to use the children to cheat others of their money, and
you still have the gall to deny that!" "I did not cheat anyone. I made a deal with the principal and paid
him the money" Little Luna explained forcefully. She continued, "I also bought gifts for the children.
They reaped the benefits, so why can’t they cooperate with me?" "I can’t believe you are still not sorry
for what you did!" Quin said, and she was incensed. Little Luna straightened her neck and said, "You
clearly have lots of money. If you want to be a good person, please go ahead and donate as much as
you like. Why hold me to your standards and insist that I be like you ? Besides, I spent money on this
collaboration. How can you say that I’m cheating others of their money, just because I didn’t donate as
much as you did ?" "If we follow your logic, you are clearly investing in the orphanage so that your
company can become more well known. This will help you to make more sales and increase your
profits. You are no different from me. What makes you think that you can talk to me in this manner?"
Little Luna said. She was devious and eloquent with her words, as she defended herself Quin was
taken aback by Little Luna’s words. She was speechless. She had never been someone who was good
at expressing herself. She knew that Little Luna’s words were distorted and misleading, but she didn’t
know how to counter her argument. Little Luna had clarified her position quite well. Seeing that Quin
was stunned, Little Luna continued, "You are silent. Looks like there is no difference between us. Since
you’re interested in raising the profile of your company, I ’ll make a small profit while helping the
children. What’s wrong with that?" "No, that’s not my intention!" Quin retorted coldly. "How can you
deny that. Don’t tell me that you are investing in the orphanage due to your kind heart. You think that I
have no experience working with companies. I know that all of you are just a group of greedy money-
lusting vampires," Little Luna said. Quin’s expression on her face became darker. At this moment, Fade
Chen stepped forward and yelled, "Stop with your arguments and twisted words." Little Luna was
frightened when she noticed Fade approaching her. She couldn’t help but take a few steps backward.
However, she still refused to back down from her argument. She said, "What twisted words ? Did I
speak the truth and offend you ?‘ Fade spoke in a cold tone, ‘Don’t compare yourself to my wife. It is an
insult to my wife when you say that both of you are the same ‘Oh, I understand, you are bosses of large
companies. I am just some social media influencer. Of course I can’t be compared with you .‘Little Luna
said sarcastically. Fade said coldly, ‘It’s not a matter of our identities, but the reason why we are doing
what we do. My wife loves the children, and cares about the children, and then makes a donation while
promoting her company. But your main purpose is to make a profit. You treat the children as tools to
earn sympathy from your fans." ‘So what is the reason you are doing this then? It’s still just about the
money. You are big bosses. If you donate a lot of money, then you can tell everyone that you are a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgood person. If I donate too little, you call me a cheater. Too ridiculous!‘ Little Luna continued to argue.
Fade shook his head. This woman had completely fallen into the trap of money. The purpose of all her
actions was to make a profit, and she thought that everyone else was the same. According to the
worldviews of such people, they only cared about the benefits they reap, without caring about the
feelings of others. Fade was too lazy to argue with this kind of person. He directly took out a few bank
notes and threw them on Little Luna’s face. He shouted, ‘Here is the money for the presents you
bought. Take them and get out of here immediately. Don’t come here again in the future.‘ Little Luna
wanted to continue to ridicule him, but when she noticed Fade’s cold expression, she didn’t dare to say
anything else. She picked up the money directly and left the activity room. She straightened the bank
notes nicely and placed them in her wallet. Little Luna opened the settings of her streaming software
and checked on the gifts she had received today. When the stream was interrupted just now, she had
already received a total of 30,000 yuan. After dividing it, she could probably take about half of it as
commission. The income today was still not too bad. However, at the thought of the ruined live stream,
and how she should explain the situation to her fans, Little Luna felt a sudden headache. She
wondered if she should look for some young actors to hep her redo the scene. Or should she find some
excuse to fool her fans ? Just as Little Luna was trying to think of a solution, a notification sign
appeared on her phone. She took a look at the sign and discovered that someone had tagged her on
Weibo. She didn’t think much of that. After all, as an influencer with millions of followers, it was normal
for her to be tagged more than hundred times a day. However, after this notification, her Weibo
suddenly kept beeping, as though it was about to explode. Her Weibo seemed to receive a continuous
stream of private messages and comments..
