“That’s right. The Triple Group plans to organize a charity event in South City. They have invited many celebrities and prominent figures to the event. In fact, if Helena participates in it, she will receive a handsome appearance fee.”
“The Triple Group is being very generous this time. I hear that they will be donating ten billion to charity, and it’s an impressive amount of money. It’s rare to find companies that do good now.” Zoey couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s all a sham! How shameless can they be!” Levi fumed as soon as he understood what was going on.
Zoey was shocked at his reaction.
The Triple Group was devious. They took away eight hundred billion initially earmarked for charity and only used about ten billion from it to placate South City by organizing a charity event.
What was even more infuriating was the fact that they organized it under the Triple Group’s name and invited A-list celebrities to further bolster their reputation.
They were just promoting the Triple Group’s brand under the pretext of charity.
The benefits they stood to gain were worth more than ten billion.
It was simply despicable.
“Honey, don’t sign the contract tomorrow!” Levi demanded.
Zoey was puzzled. “Huh? Why?”
“Honey, do you know why Triple Group wants to donate to charity?” Levi asked.
“To elevate their image in society as a caring organization?” Zoey replied.
“No! The Triple Group needs to fulfill the requirement that South City has set for them. Before this, they had gained access to a hundred billion worth of charity funds…” Levi related the whole incident to Zoey.
“Why don’t you get it back instead?” Zoey questioned.
Levi smiled wryly. “Firstly, the Triple Group acted swiftly. Even though the funds were earmarked for public welfare, they managed to acquire the company discreetly. Secondly, South City turns a blind eye to their actions as long as they continue expanding there.”
“They’re really despicable. These bloodsuckers pretend to be a company that cares despite having stolen the hard-earned money from the poor. It’s just a charade, damn them!”
“In that case, I won’t sign the contract. I don’t want their dirty money!” Zoey raged.
Although she usually tolerated common business practices, this was something too big for her to ignore. Therefore, she was firm in her decision.
“Mm, that’s my wife for you!” Levi complimented Zoey with a thumbs-up.
On his way out of the company, Levi bumped into Helena and the others.
They were polite with Levi as they acknowledged him as their benefactor.
Without him, they would still be making two to three thousand a month and living in a dark basement.
They would definitely not have the opportunity to live a life that allowed them to sign a contract worth tens of millions.
However, Maurice’s attitude seemed to have changed. He reminded Levi, “Mr. Garrison, now that the four of us are famous, I hope that you won’t share with others the fact that we used to work in sales. To us, that was a shameful part of our lives.”
Meanwhile, Helena tried to push him away, but Maurice was adamant. He added, “We will definitely give you an incentive fee. Why don’t you tell us how much you want, and I’ll get someone to pay you? After that, we will pretend that we don’t know one another. If you let our secret out, I will definitely make you pay!”
It was common knowledge in the company that Maurice was full of himself ever since he became successful. He did not respect anyone else anymore.
“Incentive fee? Fine, give me ten billion then!” Levi replied.
