Chapter 87

“You… “

His warm palm fell on top of Qi Yan’s head, and Cen Baihe said, “Go upstairs to rest for a while. After you wake up, I will ask the doctor to change your medicine.”

Qi Yan nodded, turned and walked upstairs. Halfway through, he turned and looked back. Cen Baihe was looking at him.

Cen Baihe smiled at him, then turned away. Qi Yan thought to himself, “do I have an overactive imagination?”

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, he suddenly thought of the couple he met in the cultural hall. They looked like a perfect couple, but he saw infidelity in the man. If he hadn’t been able to tell fortunes, he probably wouldn’t have believed that such a gentle and elegant man would betray his family and his marriage.

There was a knock on the door, Qi Yan got up from the bed, opened the door and saw Cen Baihe standing outside, “Come in, I’m going to change.”

Since the beginning of October, Capital City had been getting colder. Qi Yan had a wound on his arm. Wearing too thick would affect the recovery of the wound but wearing too thin was unbearable, so he tried to find something loose to wear.

Hearing that, Cen Baihe’s eyes fluttered. He sat on the armchair, and told himself that his eyes would not wander, but yet he couldn’t control himself and looked at Qi Yan.

Qian Qian’s waist was so thin and his back was so fair. He wondered if he had any abdominal muscles?

“You’ve been spending a lot of time at home recently,” Qi Yan said while putting on a long-sleeved T-shirt. Turning to Cen Baihe, he said, “Is it so easy being the boss?”

It turns out that he really had abdominal muscles, although it was not obvious, it was definitely not soft. He felt like touching it.

“Cough, it’s alright,” Cen Baihe turned away, the tips of his ears a little red.

Qi Yan didn’t notice that he was uncomfortable because his phone rang.

“Mr. Li?” Qi Yan remembered that Mr. Li was the unlucky developer who spent a lot of money to develop Hongliang Hill, but his plans were ruined because there were mountain spirits and dragon veins there.

“God statue?”

Since he started to build the temple, Mr. Li’s luck had gradually returned. Not only were his other investments lucrative, his family was healthy and he was in great shape. The only consequence was that whenever he saw a statue of a god, he couldn’t help but worship it. He even bowed at mountains that were allegedly spiritual, just to be sure.

Anything could be done with money. The Taoist temple was built in just two or three months. He just didn’t know how to carve the statue of the mountain god. Mr. Li couldn’t make up his mind, not to mention that he didn’t dare to be rash, so after thinking about it, he asked Qi Yan.

 

“Use the stone of Hongliang Mountain. The mountain god was born here. It is appropriate to use a part of his body to make his statue. As for the shape of the sculpture, this is not so important,” After learning about his worries, Qi Yan explained with a smile, “The form of gods is imagined by us humans, they can be plants, landscapes, animals or humans. Whatever it looks like in your heart, carve it accordingly.”

After Mr. Li hung up, he felt that what Master Qi said was very reasonable after thinking about it carefully. No one knew what the god looked like, and the impression was based on portraits.

Mr. Li thought about it for a long time, picked up a pen and drew an oval on the paper, smooth and clean, without any help from round objects.

God was just a light in his heart, and something like light couldn’t be carved out, so he decided to represent it with light.

From the moment he picked up the pen, he never guessed that in the near future, the mountain temple he built would become prosperous and a famous destination in the country. Whether it was for love, career, or study, everyone liked to come to this temple for blessings, and the donation box would always be filled with money. Foreign tourists also liked to visit the temple for good luck.

After painting the mountain god, he passed it on to his staff, and transferred a thank-you fee to Qi Yan.

Master Qi was a good master, so he had to treat him well.

Qi Yan received a bank notification text message on his mobile phone, saying that there were hundreds of thousands more in his account. After thinking about it, he guessed that it was the money given by Mr. Li.

After transferring part of it to charity, he forgot about it.

Hua’an Relief Organization was the most credible and trusted charitable organization in the country. Since its establishment, it was committed to education, women and children’s welfare, relief of various natural disasters, etc. They received donations from all over the country every day. No matter how little the amount, they would publish it on the official website. It was clear at a glance how the money was used.

The staff of this charitable organization were not volunteers. Part of their income came from the foundation, and the other part came from government subsidies. Their income was not high, but it was not low either, but the public was more in favor of this system.

 

How could one live without money? On the other hand, volunteers might be using charity for their own gain.

When making donations, some people choose to be anonymous while others choose to leave their names. Either way, it is an act of kindness. Every quarter, the organization calculated the amount of donation by each individual. This time, they found that the amount of donations from a private individual had exceeded one million, and the number of transfers from this individual’s bank account was very high. The smallest amount was only five hundred, and the large one was several hundred thousand. Today, the person transferred another hundred thousand.

Generally, donation accounts with a relatively large total amount like this, whether anonymous or public, must be reported to their superiors to avoid unnecessary troubles.

“How much is the anonymous donation?” The superior almost thought he heard it wrong when he heard the employee’s report.

“One hundred and thirty-nine thousand and five hundred.”

This amount of money was not as much as those donated by famous people, but it’s large enough that ordinary people would take decades to earn. But many famous people had their own charitable foundations. Who would donate money to them all the time? Ordinary people would not be able to donate so much money in just half a year even if they wanted to help.

“Make a report, and this will be handled by the top.” The manager thought for a while, and then sent a report to the relevant departments. They had no right to check the personal information of this bank account.

Not long after the report was posted, they received a reply from the higher-ups. In summary, this person was a truly kind-hearted person and they did not need to be too concerned.

It took less than an hour for the reply to come, and they obviously didn’t want them to guess the identity of this person. It seemed that he was really a low-key and kind-hearted person with some mysterious background. After thinking about it, they asked other colleagues not to mention it again.

Although they received transfers from this person every three or five days, sometimes even as high as one million, they got used to it eventually.

A big incident happened in Chunhua Community. A famous couple in the community had a quarrel. The wife scratched her husband’s face. The man went out the door without saying a word and the woman was about to jump off the building.

It was two or three in the morning when this woman wanted to jump. It wouldn’t be surprising if no one knew that she had jumped off the building. Coincidentally, a thief happened to enter the community that night and was chased to the top floor. The door was not closed, so the property owner and the security guards went up.

 

Before they caught up with the thief, they heard the thief howling, as if they had seen something terrible. They ran to the top of the building and looked at it, almost gasping in fright. A woman in a red dress and shoes with disheveled hair was standing on the edge. If there were not so many of them there in the middle of the night, they would piss themselves in fright.

“Isn’t this Ms. Lin?” Someone in the crowd recognized the woman, and seeing her standing by the fence in this outfit, they realized that something might be wrong, so they said cautiously, “It’s so late, the wind is strong, go back to sleep quickly so you don’t catch a cold.”

Ms. Lin didn’t expect people to come up in the middle of the night. She turned her head to look at them and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s so late, why haven’t you slept yet?”

The security guards took the opportunity to tie up the thief who was so scared that he wet his pants, and then called the police. “We are catching a thief.”

Everyone saw that Ms. Lin’s face was pale, with delicate makeup on her face, and beautiful jewelry. They vaguely felt that something was wrong, but there were several men present, so they didn’t want to pull her back in case that might cause a misunderstanding, “Are you here to see the stars?”

Ms. Lin paused for a moment, then smiled, “Yes.”

There are two unmarried men who were dazzled by her smile. They thought she might be an actress.

Just when they thought that Ms. Lin was going to jump off the building due to something inconceivable, she actually walked away from the fence and whispered “thank you” as she passed by them.

However, the two security guards were still a little worried. Early the next morning, they ran to knock on Ms. Lin’s door, but no one opened it for a long time. After they checked the surveillance footage, they found that she had never left the building.

The security guards called the police, who then forced their way in. They saw Ms. Lin in a red dress lying in a pool of blood with a men’s brooch in her hand.

Qi Yan was scolded by Cen Baihe, because his wound was inflamed and swollen, so he was forcibly taken to the hospital by Cen Baihe early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the door of the hospital, he saw the doctor and nurse pushing an ambulance cot over, and he hurriedly stepped aside.

As they passed by, he glanced at the pale patient and recognized her at first sight. It was the beautiful woman who came to the cultural hall to pick up her husband.
