Chapter 138 Let’s Start with 500,000

This morning he was still having a headache about how to do charity.

And just like that, an opportunity appeared.

Helping stray cats and dogs is also a form of charity!

"That, if I want to donate to that Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station, who should I contact?"

Chen Mo looked at Tang Qiu.

Since Tang Qiu had donated dog food to that Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station, she should be very familiar with the donation process.

"Chen Zong, this Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station does not accept monetary donations. If you really want to donate, you can donate some cat food and dog food, as well as some old quilts and similar items."

Tang Qiu replied.

She had also wanted to donate money at the time, so the people at the rescue station could freely use the money where it was needed.

But when she arrived at the rescue station, she found that the rescue station did not accept monetary donations.

After some understanding, she learned that some people who donate money would pay close attention to whether the donated money was used on the stray cats and dogs after making the donation.

Because of this,

those people would make various demands of the rescue station, such as moving the stray cats and dogs to a better place, or concerning the quality of the food the cats and dogs ate… and a series of other things.

Once what the rescue station did did not meet their requirements or expectations,

they would suspect that the rescue station had embezzled the donated money, and many disputes would arise for no reason.

Therefore, the rescue station began to refuse monetary donations.

They only accept material donations.

"I see. In that case, if I want to donate some cat food and dog food, what brand would be best?"

Since they don't accept monetary donations, he would just buy more cat food and dog food. It was just an extra step and wouldn't stop him from spending money.

Chen Mo thought to himself.

However, he didn't know much about cat food and dog food, so he could only ask Tang Qiu.

"Chen Zong, the cat food and dog food donated to the Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station don't need to be big brands, as long as they are safe and healthy. There's a very good cat food factory in Jiang City that I've personally inspected, and their raw materials are all very healthy."

"The usual online selling price is around 20 yuan, but if you buy more than a ton, you can purchase it directly from the factory. If you specify that it's for donation to the Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station, they will give you a discounted price of 13 yuan per jin."

"However, the only requirement is that someone from the factory needs to follow along to ensure that the purchased cat food and dog food are indeed donated to the rescue station."

"If Chen Zong wants to donate cat food and dog food, I can help you contact them. I know the owner of that factory."

Tang Qiu looked up at Chen Zong. From Chen Zong's words just now, she had already basically guessed that Chen Zong was planning to donate cat food and dog food.

"Then you contact them!"

Chen Mo nodded. Since Tang Qiu had a connection, it would save him trouble, and he could just pay directly.

He didn't care about the discounted price either.

After all, this was a donation to the Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station. If the price was cheaper, he could buy more cat food and dog food, which would allow the rescue station to use it for a longer period.

Seeing Chen Mo nod, Tang Qiu asked,

"Chen Zong, how much cat food and dog food are you planning to buy?"

"Let's buy 500,000 worth first."

Chen Mo said plainly.

He didn't use all 1.2 million of the charity funds to buy cat food and dog food. After all, the rescue station was there, and he could spend the money whenever he wanted to donate.

And leaving a portion of the charity funds could be used for emergencies.

Tang Qiu's hand, holding her phone, suddenly paused when she heard Chen Mo's words.

She somewhat doubted if she had misheard.

"Chen Zong, is it fifty thousand, or five hundred thousand?"

"Five hundred thousand. Let's set 300,000 for dog food and 200,000 for cat food."

Chen Mo pouted, looking at Tang Qiu's exaggerated reaction. He hadn't even bought all the cat and dog food with the charity funds yet.

If he had bought it all,

wouldn't she have thrown her phone away?

Clatter!

Chen Mo was startled by the sudden sound. Following the sound, he saw Song Xia standing there with her mouth agape.

One hand was suspended in mid-air, and the phone that should have been in her hand was now lying on the ground.

"Ah, you two continue."

Song Xia came back to her senses and quickly bent down to pick up her phone.

However, a storm surged in her heart; that was 500,000 yuan.

She had lost less than 300,000 yuan when she opened a milk tea shop, and her parents at home were worried for over a month.

She didn't even dare to go home for the holidays and ran to her sister's place.

And just now, 500,000 yuan was decided to be donated so easily, with just one open and close of the mouth.

Looking at Chen Mo, who showed no emotional fluctuations, Song Xia finally understood why Chen Mo had given her such high treatment so easily before. It turned out he really wasn't short of money.

Tang Qiu took a deep breath, thinking about the previous employee sports day and the celebration banquet, both of which had considerable expenses.

Donating 500,000 yuan worth of cat food and dog food this time was indeed Chen Zong's style.

However,

she hadn't expected Chen Zong to be so caring. With this 500,000 yuan in assistance, the Corner Cats and Dogs Rescue Station would surely be able to alleviate some of the pressure on their food expenses.

"I understand, Chen Zong. However, the quantity you're purchasing this time is a bit large. It will probably take two days to get everything ready."

"That's fine!"

Chen Mo nodded. He didn't mind an extra day or two.

"I want to go too! When you go to donate, can you take me with you? Although I don't have much money, I can go and volunteer."

Song Xia, seeing that the two had finished talking, excitedly raised her hand and said.

"Go if you have time."

Chen Mo didn't refuse either.

The three sat for a while longer.

Wang Yang and Chen Jun came over from measuring in the next room.

After some time,

all the measurements for the milk tea shop were completed.

Wang Yang walked over.

"Chen Zong, the measurements are done. I'll go back now to create the plan and design drawings, then send them to you."

"Okay."

Chen Mo got up and saw the two out the door. Seeing that there was nothing else to do here,

he bid farewell to Tang Qiu and Song Xia and returned to the company.

………..

A university student dormitory,

"There's a Clothing Factory here that's recruiting clothing designers. The treatment is pretty good; interns are even getting 6,000 yuan. Should we apply to this one?"

"Let me see. Changfeng Clothing Factory. I'll check the company's information first. It's just a small factory, probably not much room for development. That 6,000 yuan salary is probably just to attract people. Once we go there, they'll probably change their tune immediately."

"Then what should we do? We've already tried those big clothing companies. Otherwise, we'll have to look for jobs in other cities."

In the dormitory, several girls looked at the recruitment website, discussing among themselves.

"Yaning-jie, what should we do? Should we apply to this Clothing Factory?"

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Yaning, who had been silent, and asked.

The other two girls also looked at Xu Yaning, awaiting her decision.
