Chapter 700 Launching a Public Welfare Campaign
After a lengthy company meeting, Duan Yujing leaned back in his executive chair, rubbing his temples.
"Mr. Duan, this is the report you asked me to compile." The secretary handed over a rural education research report.
Duan Yujing flipped through the results page and looked at the data; it was chillingly cold.
There is a shortage of teachers and a huge disparity between teachers and students.
Teaching aids are scarce, and even chalk as thick as a little finger is used up but not discarded.
There were only a few books, and several of them were tattered and incomplete after being flipped through repeatedly.
His brows furrowed, his eyes gradually filled with emotion, a mixture of compassion and responsibility in his heart.
Finally, he abruptly stood up and said to his secretary, "Go and make preparations to launch a charity event in the name of the company."
"Yes, Mr. Duan."
Subsequently, following General Manager Duan's instructions, the secretary convened key personnel from the company.
The meeting room was coldly lit, and everyone was arguing about the new market strategy when this unexpected topic caught them off guard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the company is now achieving remarkable results, but we must not forget our social responsibility. Children in impoverished areas face difficulties in pursuing education, and we must lend them a helping hand."
Duan Yujing's gaze swept over everyone, his hands resting on the table.
"The company plans to carry out public welfare activities, such as funding school building renovation, teacher recruitment, and material donation. Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas."
Some people frowned and questioned, muttering, "This is a huge investment, and the returns are hard to predict. I'm afraid it will affect the company's cash flow and business expansion."
The voice, though soft, was like a splash of cold water, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the conference room.
Duan Yujing's gaze was sharp as he stared directly at the man. "Return? The children's smiles and the changes in the future are the returns! If a company only pursues profit, it's like a tree without roots; it won't go far. We must work together to overcome the current difficulties."
His words were forceful and resounding.
Everyone nodded, the discussion turned positive, and a preliminary plan began to take shape.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan put aside her busy work at the beauty salon and rushed to Duan Yujing's side.
"Yujing, this is such a meaningful thing, how can I fall behind? Although the beauty salon is only a small part, we are willing to do our best to help you."
Her eyes shone as she gripped Duan Yujing's arm, her fingertips tightening slightly, revealing her determination.
“I want to hold a charity sale, using popular skincare packages and beauty products as gimmicks to attract customers and raise funds and supplies.”
“Xiao Yan, that suits me perfectly. Let’s work together to provide real help to the children.”
Duan Yujing held her hand; his palm was warm, filled with emotion and tacit understanding. They smiled at each other.
Without hesitation, the beauty salon was transformed into a charity hub, with the usual skincare product display shelves under the crystal chandelier now overflowing with items for sale.
The poster is eye-catching, detailing the original intention of the public welfare project and the plight of impoverished areas, with text and pictures.
The children's innocent faces and the dilapidated school buildings touched people's hearts.
Li Yan, dressed in a plain dress, was as gentle and graceful as a spring lily. She introduced the product with a smile: "Sister, this face cream is on sale for charity. Buying it helps with skincare and also contributes to charity. It can help impoverished children get more textbooks and new chalk. Thank you for your support."
The customers were moved and readily opened their wallets, causing the cash register to beep.
Duan Yujing personally went to impoverished areas to conduct surveys.
The mountain road was rugged, and the car bumped and swayed like a small boat.
He looked out the window and saw that the terraced fields were barren and the houses were dilapidated, and his heart clenched.
Upon arriving at the school, the principal greeted him, his hands calloused and his clothes patched, and he was moved to tears: "President Duan, we've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon! The children are saved!"
His voice trembled, and his eyes reddened.
Duan Yujing patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, the school will be completely transformed, and the child will be able to study well."
As he entered the classroom, he knelt down to be at eye level with the children, gently patted their heads, and said, "Little ones, knowledge changes destiny, keep up the good work."
The child smiled shyly, his eyes filled with longing.
He stood up, looked around, and his plan became clearer.
He finalized the repair details with his entourage and acted swiftly.
