Qin Hao drove to the company, and once inside his office, he said to Nie Si, "Assistant Nie, please step out for a moment. I need some peace to think, and I don''t want to be disturbed by anyone."


    "Yes, Mr. Qin." Nie Si, carrying a stack of documents, walked out.


    Sitting in his office, the words spoken by Xu Jiejian echoed in Qin Hao''s mind.


    The significance behind his words was profound.


    Moreover, these words were relayed to him by Xu Jiejian on behalf of Xu Liangguo.


    He believed that if he really went to the military district to gain experience, Xu Liangguo would strongly support him, and with his unparalleled capabilities, it was highly likely that Xu Liangguo''s position might be his in the future.


    He might even go farther, potentially becoming the leader of the nation.


    But if he agreed, then his relationship with Xu Siyao would also need to be secured; otherwise, the Xu Family would not support him like this.


    Although Xu Jiejian didn''t explicitly state it, he knew that Qin Hao was intelligent enough to understand the implied relation.


    The Xu Family had made a significant investment this time, and as long as Qin Hao agreed, they would definitely focus on cultivating him.


    Qin Hao was actually moved by Xu Liangguo''s esteem for him, but he would have felt even more touched if Xu Siyao wasn''t being used as leverage.


    Xu Siyao is not an object, and using her as a bargaining chip is disrespectful to her.


    The troublesome issue for Qin Hao now was not whether to agree, but how to refuse.


    He absolutely would not forsake the person he liked for a transactional benefit, tempting though the Xu Family''s offer was.


    But these were Xu Liangguo''s words; if he directly refused, what would their future relationship be like?


    He needed to think of a good reason.


    After more than half an hour, he took out his phone and called Xu Liangguo.


    The call was quickly connected, and Xu Liangguo, smiling, said, "No need to speak, I already know your answer. I want to hear your reason."


    Qin Hao forced a laugh, "Mr. Xu, Siyao is not an object, not a chip for trading. I refuse out of respect for her.


    Also, I don''t want to enter the military district this way. If possible, one day I''ll enter on my own strength."@@@@


    Xu Liangguo gave a faint smile, "Let me ask you one thing, do you like Siyao?"


    Qin Hao was taken aback, "Mr. Xu, I can''t really say."


    "Hmm, I understand. It''s fine, I''ll hang up now, Xiao Hao."


    ...


    He hung up the call.


    The representatives of the three major charity organizations were stunned for a moment when they heard his words.


    "Mr. Qin, you... what did you say?" Li Ze from the Charity General Association stood up from his chair, doubting whether he had heard correctly.


    Thirty million?


    Damn!


    During a severe earthquake in Xuan Country a few years ago, there were few who donated more than thirty million.


    And he had said thirty million for each, totaling ninety million, a figure that nearly matched the top three donations of that year.


    Feng Xiangyi had thought that Qin Hao would donate just a few million to enhance the reputation of Jiangshan Roasted Duck.


    To think he intended to donate so much.


    She had the urge to kick Qin Hao off his chair.


    Such a waste, damn it!


    Ninety million could be used for so many other things, yet you chose to donate it all.


    Are you out of your mind?


    Qin Hao calmly repeated, "Thirty million for each organization, totaling ninety million. I want to make it clear upfront.


    Anyone who dares to misuse this money should not blame me, Qin Hao, for being ruthless."


    Li Ze and the other two exchanged glances, their emotions clearly overflowing, thirty million was indeed significant, capable of accomplishing so much.

    "Mr. Qin, on behalf of all people with disabilities nationwide, I thank you for your generous donation." Gao Panmei, the head of the Disability Federation, her eyes slightly red, stood up and bowed deeply to him.


    Li Ze and Fang Chengyun, the head of the Congenital Disease Children Foundation, also bowed together.


    Their gratitude and emotion were genuine, with no pretense.


    They had visited many impoverished areas and seen too many unbearable hardships.


    The reason they had persevered through it all was the hopeful and expectant gazes of those troubled people.


    Seeing their reaction, Qin Hao sighed internally, "In a while, I''ll transfer the money to your charity accounts, and later on, I will send someone to monitor how the funds are used."


    Li Ze asked, "Mr. Qin, would you like to make the donation public? We can get some authoritative newspapers and television stations in Jianghai to cover it."


    Feng Xiangyi''s eyes lit up, the influence of these three organizations was not small, and making the news public would greatly benefit Jiangshan Roasted Duck.


    "No need to make it public." Qin Hao thought for a moment and refused, having planned to space out his donations to avoid drawing too much attention.


    He intended to donate nearly one billion, and if it were made public, he worried he might become a national celebrity.
