Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526: 524, Has Bai Ningbing’s attitude changed?

Luofeng left with Bai Ningbing, and they settled into the Lamborghini.

Naturally, Bai Ningbing took the co-pilot seat this time.

"Luofeng, what exactly is going on?"

"Late last night, I saw on Li Jie’s Moments Circle that they were doing some cleaning work. It’s very meaningful!" Luofeng casually made up an excuse.

"Mhm," Bai Ningbing nodded. "People do this every New Year. It’s very meaningful indeed!"

Luofeng began, "And those sanitation workers, they’re also incredible. I’ve been thinking, what do sanitation workers do during the New Year?"

Bai Ningbing paused, taken aback.

"They probably start working around four or five in the morning and continue late into the night. During events like the New Year celebrations, they might even need to work all night to ensure everything is clean and tidy again after a night of fireworks, right?" Luofeng continued, "A significant number of them can’t even afford meat four or five times a month!"

Bai Ningbing caught on. "Are we going to visit the sanitation workers today to show our appreciation?"

"Yes, but it’s more than that. You’ll find out soon. I’ve made an appointment with some people from the environmental department. We’ll confirm the specifics later," Luofeng replied.

「Around nine o’clock.」

Luofeng and Bai Ningbing arrived at a teahouse.

Li Hongchang was already waiting for them there.

"Happy New Year, Old Li!" Luofeng said, offering a handshake after entering the private room.

Li Hongchang, however, respectfully extended both his hands.

This gesture made Fang Ya, who had accompanied Li Hongchang, secretly alarmed. After all, she knew Li Hongchang held one of the top three positions in their department. Yet he was showing such respect to this young man?

"Old Li, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Bai Ningbing!" Luofeng said with a smile.

Observing decorum, Li Hongchang didn’t extend his hand, simply saying, "Happy New Year, Miss Bai!"

Bai Ningbing replied gracefully, "Mr. Li, Happy New Year to you too!"

Li Hongchang then introduced, "Mr. Luo, this is Fang Ya, our director of logistics. She has all the relevant information about our department."

Luofeng nodded and briefly introduced himself to Fang Ya.

Then, all four of them sat down.

"Mr. Luo, may I ask what matter requires our department’s attention?" Li Hongchang inquired.

"Old Li, relax. This is a good thing. Jiamei Company doesn’t have any environmental issues for you to worry about!" Luofeng stated directly. "After all, we at Jiamei always follow the rules and operate ethically."

"Then, what is it you need, Mr. Luo?" Li Hongchang asked, breathing a sigh of relief.

"I’d like to ask, Ms. Fang Ya, how many people are there in total in Shanghai’s environmental department?" Luofeng asked, looking at Fang Ya.

"Please wait a moment. I’ll check in the System," Fang Ya said, slightly surprised, then took out her phone.

After about three minutes, Fang Ya reported, "In the Main Urban Area, including both permanent and temporary staff, there are approximately 54,000 people."

"What about the specifics?" Luofeng inquired. "For example, the gender ratio, the breakdown by job type, age distribution, and their educational backgrounds?"

Luofeng was somewhat taken aback by this. Managers make up such a high proportion? Does the environmental protection system really need that many managers?

Bai Ningbing silently reflected, Isn’t that terribly low? No wonder they can’t regularly afford pork. And many of these families probably have children to put through school.

Luofeng thought, So, sanitation workers are also differentiated into ’poor’ and ’not poor’? Aren’t most of them in difficult circumstances to begin with?

Luofeng smiled and looked at Li Hongchang. "Old Li, I have an idea."

"Please share it, Mr. Luo!"

"Jiamei plans to show our appreciation to these workers. We’ll need your department’s cooperation," Luofeng stated simply.

"How do you plan to do that, Mr. Luo? And what is the intended scale?" Li Hongchang asked.

Luofeng said, "Let’s skip the oil and rice. Although practical, distributing them would be too much of a hassle."

Li Hongchang was puzzled. Aren’t practical items like rice the best choice? After all, the sanitation workers lead difficult lives. Is he planning to give out chocolates? Or luxury goods?

"Jiamei intends to go big this time," Luofeng said with a knowing smile.

"Ah?" Li Hongchang and Fang Ya exchanged glances.

"Our Jiamei Company plans to provide benefits to all sanitation workers. Everyone will receive New Year’s benefits, with no exceptions."

Fang Ya interjected from the side, "Mr. Luo, that’s a very large number of people!"

Li Hongchang said, "Mr. Luo, if we’re not distributing necessities like Rice, Oil, and Salt, I don’t think it will be very meaningful. But distributing oil and rice to tens of thousands of people would be too costly; it would require at least several million yuan!"

Bai Ningbing listened quietly, her perspective shifting slightly. Several million yuan? To do something of this magnitude? Benefits for tens of thousands of people? Luofeng had previously given her a red envelope containing over five million yuan. Only now did she begin to truly grasp what her mother had once said: ’Do you know how much fifty thousand yuan is? Your mother couldn’t earn that much in half a year.’ Looking at Luofeng now, Bai Ningbing felt an indescribable mix of emotions, unsure of what to say.

If Luofeng could have known what Bai Ningbing was thinking at that moment, he would definitely have been able to "cut to the chase" with her that night!
