"Alright, I'll consider it."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei edited a post on Weibo and sent it out.
"To all my respected fans and supporters who have been with me since I joined Weibo, a great number of you have sent me private messages asking for help with medical treatments. However, I, Ling Zhenfei, have limited manpower and energy and cannot reply to everyone's private messages, nor can I treat every individual."
"But I have always kept in mind the duties of a doctor and dare not neglect anyone. Anyone who seeks treatment from me honors me, Ling Zhenfei, and after much consideration, I've decided on the following plan."
"Those who wish to seek medical treatment from me, please post your information on Weibo and tag 'Ling Zhenfei's fan club'. After fans confirm the information is correct, we will hold a vote on the fan club's Weibo. The person with the most votes will get the opportunity for treatment."
"First of all, I declare, 1) Treatment is completely free, but you must pay the basic fees to the hospital.
The disease must be a complicated and rare one; cases treatable by the hospital will not be accepted by me. 3) Treatment carries certain risks, so please apply with caution."
"At the same time, I am extending an invitation to all major hospitals across the country. The city where each patient resides can participate, offering support to those about to receive treatment. The treatment will also take place in the hospital that provides the best support."
"For this event, if the hospital provides free treatment, any money paid will not be refunded but will be kept in the Ling Zhenfei Charity Aid Fund to provide medical assistance to particularly needy families. Please stay tuned for updates."
As soon as Ling Zhenfei's Weibo was out, it caused a huge commotion in the entertainment circle. Many people were still replying to the last Weibo post, arguing with trolls in the comments.
This post left everyone stunned. It was extremely rare for Ling Zhenfei to post on Weibo, and to post twice in such a short period of time with so many words and such rich information was truly astonishing.
Within moments, Ling Zhenfei's Weibo was rapidly shared, and the number of comments was astonishing. Within just over ten minutes, comments exceeded five thousand, and it looked like they would soon reach ten thousand.
"Ling Zhenfei has unleashed his ultimate move, pay attention everyone below."
"This is clearly a publicity stunt, if treatment is free, why can't the hospital fees also be waived?"
"The person above is sick, do you also want your terminal stupidity cured for free? Do you know how expensive Ling Zhenfei's treatments are? If you won't spend that little money, then just get lost."
"My hubby is the coolest. Being your fan feels so honorable. I'm a certified fan by the fan club, and I feel so proud walking around."
"Excuse me, what exactly is the Ling Zhenfei Charity Aid Fund? How do I donate? Give us a link first."
"Hubby has such a strong sense of justice, I really want to warm your bed and have little monkeys with you."
"Hubby Ling Zhenfei, I'm prettier than that girl you had dinner with. Can I be your girlfriend? I don't eat much and am easy to maintain."
"Everyone, be warned that all funds are scams. Be cautious. Ling Zhenfei is clearly just trying to make money."
"Ling Zhenfei, get out of the entertainment industry."
"..."
Amidst the chaotic comments, the majority still spoke positively about Ling Zhenfei's righteousness, knowing whether an act is good or bad, as not everyone has a dark heart.
Not long after Ling Zhenfei's Weibo was posted, the Ling Zhenfei fan club, Ling Zhenfei's global fan club, and several other Weibo accounts related to Ling Zhenfei forwarded the post.
Moreover, Lin Yi's Ling Zhenfei fan club also made an additional Weibo post explaining the specifics, including the screening and voting for patients, and the selection and voting for hospitals, with detailed explanations.
All these were prepared by Lin Yi, who has quite impressive planning abilities.
Ling Zhenfei looked at the comments that evening, deeply moved by his fan club's unconditional support. These fans were just too adorable, and life seemed rather beautiful.
As the sky began to darken, Bai Lin found Ling Zhenfei and said, "Master, we have a meeting tonight, what should we eat? I can start cooking now."
Ling Zhenfei glanced at Bai Lin, "Bai Lin, how did those dishes I taught you last time turn out?"
"I've got them down perfectly. How about I make those dishes for you tonight?" Bai Lin said confidently.
"Good, after you finish cooking tonight, join us for the meeting."
"Me? I shouldn't... I'm not a leader," Bai Lin hesitated.
"If I say you are, then you are. Don't forget it," Ling Zhenfei intended to promote Bai Lin. As Xishan Manor grew and more people joined, cooking would become an increasingly stressful job, so it was time to appoint a leader.
As Ling Zhenfei's apprentice, Bai Lin was the natural choice for promotion.
"Understood, Master," Bai Lin said and then left.
As night fell, the big construction site of Xishan Manor came to a halt, and lights turned the whole area bright as day.
The greenhouses were also lit up, the crops inside thriving robustly. Everything was so wonderful.
The company office became the meeting room, with two long tables put together, loaded with all kinds of delicious food.
It was a characteristic of Xishan Manor to eat while meeting, to talk while dining.
Zhou Qun, Sun Liqing, Zhang Duo, and others all arrived. Even Bai Lin was there.
Ling Zhenfei had Chen Qian and Chunyu next to him. Chunyu had come straight to the manor after school, and during the meal, Ling Zhenfei made sure to seat Chunyu next to him.
He truly adored his little sister Chunyu as if she were his own flesh and blood.
Midway through the meal, Chen Qian said with a laugh, "Alright, Boss Ling, we've pretty much finished eating. If you have any arrangements, go ahead with them. If you wait much longer, Old Sun and Zhang Duo might drink too much and forget everything."
Sun Liqing took offense, "President Chen, what are you implying? When have I ever drunk too much during a meeting?"
Zhang Duo also said sheepishly, "Don't worry, I'll sort things out first before I join Old Sun for a drink."
Ling Zhenfei knew it was time. Smiling, he said, "Alright, I've got it. Now, let me share my plans with everyone."
Ling Zhenfei stood up, looked at Zhou Yun's briefing, and then began, "Here's the situation. Our company has expanded, and not just by a little bit. We have the people now, all villagers of ours."
"I have complete faith in our villagers, who are all diligent and honest. Those who aren't, I don't want them— they should be fired to set an example. President Chen, you handle this. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to do it."
"Great, leave the dirty work to me, while you only play the good guy," Chen Qian pretended to be displeased.
Ling Zhenfei burst into laughter, "You're stuck holding that pot; just bear with it. Now, our village owns about eighty percent of the land, which belongs to Xi Shan Manor— that's more than five hundred acres. I also plan to lease the village team's land, and altogether, that's nearly one thousand acres."
"As for the people, besides the old and the weak, Xi Shan Manor has added nearly two hundred folks. How to settle these two hundred people is a problem. Today, I even heard my sister-in-law and President Chen arguing over this."
