Chapter 150 - Wealth Distribution: Task Phase 2 (2/2)

Meng Fan could think of three ways. One was to help people that needed it themselves. The second was for charity, and another was to amuse himself.

It was like before when he had hosted the “Stream procurement” during the sports meet purely for his own satisfaction. However, the rewards he received this time from the fickle netizens had exceeded what he spent on the gifts.

After getting off the car, he ate at the school cafeteria since Chen Da Qiang had mentioned that today’s braised beef and radishes tasted really good.

Coincidentally after eating, he scrolled passed a hot topic on Weibo.

The article started out exposing a primary school for cutting corners on their lunches, causing a hot discussion on Weibo. There were all kinds of angry commenters, but among the heated atmosphere was a wholesome content.

The comment was about the Ganhai elementary school in the Ma Li district of De Xuan county. The school was in a poor area but had registered for a free lunch program. They had been doing this for five years up until now, and the Weibo account would post day-to-day introductions of the lunches at noon, including photos of all the dishes and a recording of the expenditures.

The account had been doing this for the last five years and under almost zero attention. Until today.

Even if one didn’t compare it to the school that had cut corners, it was still a very moving thing. Then someone found several other Weibo accounts that had also signed up for the free lunch program.

Meng Fan had some understanding regarding the free lunch program, so he found these schools through Weibo. He wanted to donate to them each separately, but the procedure was too troublesome, so he ended up donating 100,000 HXB to the charity organization in charge.

He donated and browsed on Weibo while eating his radish and sirloin; the taste was almost too good. He had eaten away 100,000 HXB in one meal!

In the afternoon, Meng Fan wanted to go out with Wu Tong. He called her and asked what her plans were. Wu Tong responded she had to catch up to a manuscript. Meng Fan heard this and immediately said,

“What a coincidence, me too.”

He hurried back to the dorm. He picked up his art tube and headed for the studio.

There were quite a lot of people in the studio over the weekend. After all, there was no shortage of talented people or hard-working ones. Of course, there were also many people who were both hard-working and talented.

“You haven’t been to the studio in a while.”

Ms. Chen Fu, the studio administrator who had been sitting in his usual spot, looked up when Meng Fan had just reached the door. It wasn’t like her meditation had not been serious, but Meng Fan’s presence was way too strong.

Meng Fan scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.

Chen Fu sucked in her cheeks and pointed her lips toward a corner of the room. “You came for the people, right?”

Meng Fan put his hands together. “Your eyes are getting old.”

“Yeah right, I still have eyes.” Chen Fu smiled. “Last time I thought the cute girl with freckles was the subject of your pursuit, but who knew, kid? You’ve set your target quite high to be chasing after the Chinese painting department’s beauty.” She lowered her voice and pointed Meng Fan toward a path of light. “I heard that Wu Tong’s favorite person is your mother.”

Meng Fan’s head throbbed upon hearing this. He could only respond with an idiotic smile and headed over to sit next to Wu Tong.

Wu Tong looked at Meng Fan and whispered, “Professor Chen knows you?”

Meng Fan nodded and said half truthfully, “She saw me when I was little.”

They remained in the studio for the afternoon and shared dinner together before returning to continue drawing. Wu Tong was really rushing a deadline and Meng Fan… although he wasn’t pushing a deadline, he really did have many projects to work on.

The next day at around 8:00 am, Meng Fan arrived at the competition venue.

The competition procedures for the city preliminaries of the CGL basketball tournament was not as simple as last time. It was divided into three categories: single-player, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles. To complete all the competitions in a day, the schedule had been packed very tightly, beginning at 9:00 am.

The first to start was the first round of male singles. There were several places to advance into the city-wide tournament. There were 30 people in total that were divided into three groups. They took turns tossing three rounds each, and the top 12 players with the highest scores would advance into the second round.

When Meng Fan arrived… well, Qu Jing Jing and her crew were already there. And this time, instead of four, there were almost a dozen of them.

What surprised him even more was that Wu Tong was there too!
