Ji Ya thought seriously for a moment, “Once I have money… definitely first enjoy life, buy the most comfortable luxury house, the favorite luxury cars, lots of clothes, cosmetics, and bags that I like, then buy a house for my parents, and travel around the world, go wherever I want.”
Shen Yuan smiled. He had achieved all these except for traveling around the world. He then asked, “Anything else?”
Ji Ya pondered for a while, and finally shook her head, “Can’t think of anything else for now.”
“How about after you’ve enjoyed life? Would you consider pursuing something spiritually fulfilling, like engaging in charitable work, or doing something beneficial for society?”
“Well… that depends on how much money I have. If I have so much that I can’t spend it all, I might consider it.”
It was clear that Ji Ya was taking this seriously, although she didn’t have any money now.
...
However, Ji Ya could only dream, while Shen Yuan had to put it into practice. Personal enjoyment was naturally indispensable, but meaningful activities also needed to be advanced.
[While a donation of 50 million is made for a specific cause, the host needs to accumulate prestige and social status. After the donation is complete, it will activate the third-phase entrepreneur task.]
[March toward a perfect life, host!]
The system’s tasks also showed that a perfect life is not only about fulfilling personal desires but also about being a person who contributes to society.
With the earmarked donation of 50 million, Shen Yuan allocated 20 million as the initial capital for the foundation, and the remaining 30 million needed to be donated.
At the beginning of his philanthropy, Shen Yuan’s focus was on major illness assistance and education.
Shen Yuan planned to start the foundation’s early projects with medical treatment for serious diseases, so he intended to invest the remaining 30 million in education.
“Ji Ya, can you contact the elementary and junior high schools I attended? I intend to donate a batch of books and educational materials in my name.”
Ji Ya nodded, “Okay, do you need it for high school and university too?”
Shen Yuan replied, “I’m going to attend a high school reunion in a few days. My high school teacher sent me an invitation on Weixin. They mentioned a scholarship fund in the invitation, so I plan to see what that’s about at the reunion.”
“Okay, what about your university?”
“Donate to the International campus? They don’t deserve it.”
Shen Yuan shook his head directly, “The International campus is just a privately run second-tier college; it’s a waste to donate to them. It’s better to donate to Nanzhong University or Southern University, to make better use of the money.”
“Mm, I understand.”
Ji Ya nodded, then recorded the time and place of the high school reunion to remind Shen Yuan when the time came.
“Mr. Shen, are any of your high school classmates invited to this? Do you need me to accompany you, or are you going with your high school classmates?”
Shen Yuan shook his head, “I’m not familiar with those high school classmates. Our class was an experimental class full of top students. I was consistently second to last. The only one I was close to was the last in class and he was sent to study in Australia by his family. He hasn’t been back for almost a year.”
“I’ll just go by myself; you go about your business.”
Shen Yuan felt a chill thinking about those top students; half of them got into top universities like 985 and 211, and two even had the scores for Tsinghua University and Peking University. Even those who fell short got into first-tier universities.
There were only three or four in the whole class like him, whose grades were only good enough for second-tier colleges.
During the summer of his sophomore year, Shen Yuan had attended a high school reunion, but he was completely invisible there, especially since his only similar friend, the one who went to Australia, was not there, so he didn’t even have a friend whose company stank as much as his.
Those top students, mostly wearing glasses and with calm and polite demeanors, talked about “postgraduate exams,” “research projects,” “state-owned enterprise offers” and other high-end topics. Shen Yuan couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
Those male students who got into 985 universities, obviously harbored a subtle sense of superiority. They would politely greet someone like Shen Yuan, a “second-tier university student,” but it was just a greeting, and then they’d turn back to their high-end conversations.
