Chapter 527 Chaoyang Gymnasium(2/3)
73-year-old crosstalk master Hou Baolin donated 10,000 yuan of performance fees he had accumulated over the years.
There is a singer named Zhang Mingmin in Xiangjiang. His song "My Chinese Heart" was popular all over the country on the 1985 Spring Festival Gala.
I heard that the government lacked funds for the Asian Games, so he held 154 concerts this year, and at most he performed three shows a day, singing until his throat was hoarse and inflamed and bleeding.
Sanmao, 50 cents tickets, songs after songs, one city to another.
Half a year ago, when he handed over all the 600,000 scattered tickets accumulated from a year's performance to the audience of the comrades in the fundraising office, everyone's eyes were red.
It is precisely because of the enthusiasm, patriotism and expectations of these lovely people that the Asian Games, the grand event prepared by the whole country, has been so smooth.
Kuang Guangze looked at Lin Chaoyang with warm eyes and placed all his passbooks on the table. He heard him say, "We have lived in Xiangjiang for the past two years.
I didn’t pay much attention to the Asian Games, and I don’t know if I have all the funds raised?"
Kuang Guangze said emotionally: "There are many enthusiastic people like you and your lover all over the country. Our fundraising office has raised more than 200 million yuan in the past year, and our office has also raised more than 100 million yuan in Asian Games sports tickets issued by our office."
Lin Chaoyang said: "I heard there is a gap of 600 million?"
"Yes. It's still a little short, but we believe that with you and the two enthusiastic people, these difficulties are not a problem." Kuang Guangze said confidently.
Lin Chaoyang and his wife politely said with a smile on their faces. He said, "The money in the passbook has not been sorted out. I have to ask your comrades in the office to go to the bank with us."
Kwong Guangze said: "It should be, it should be."
He turned his head and said to his colleague, "Sister Han, let's pay the money and then go to the bank with Teacher Chaoyang and his wife."
"good."
After the two of them finished speaking, Kuang Guangze gathered his passbooks. He confirmed with Lin Chaoyang: "Teacher Chaoyang, have all the money donated?"
"Donate all."
Kuang Guangze nodded, "You two, wait."
After he said that, he opened his passbook and glanced at it. Just as he was about to move, he couldn't help but turn back and take a look, then he showed an incredible look and was there.
Sister Han took the ledger and saw Kuang Guangze stunned with his passbook, and called him, "Little Kuang!"
Kuang Guangze came to his senses at this time. He did not look at Sister Han, but subconsciously looked at Lin Chaoyang and his wife.
The couple looked at him with kindness, like a Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
He swallowed his saliva in a bad mood. Kuang Guangze put down the passbook in his hand and opened another passbook.
With the impact just now, his reaction this time became much normal, but he still couldn't help swallowing his mouth and sleeping.
I couldn't help but think of the gatekeeper call I just received. What was the sentry saying?
Yes, the donation amount is a bit large!
Is this a bit big?
Sister Han noticed Kuang Guangze’s abnormality just now. She picked up the passbook that Kuang Guangze had just put down, and her eyes were settled there.
I couldn't believe it counted the numbers on the passbook several times.
After confirming that, Sister Han finally understood why Kuang Guangze turned into that after flipping through the passbook.
Then the two of them searched the remaining passbooks and finally came up with a number that they would never forget for life.
30.21 million!
Kuang Guangze and Sister Han's eyes were intertwined, and they both saw indescribable shock in their respective eyes.
The two have been in the fundraising office for more than a year and have handled tens of millions of dollars, but they have not seen such a large number of single donations.
This is a total of 30 million!
The two's eyes couldn't help but gather on Lin Chaoyang and his wife again, full of surprise, doubt and disbelief.
Lin Chaoyang took the initiative to speak, "Don't worry about the way this money comes from. It's all my royalties, royalties and investment income, and every penny is clean."
Kuang Guangze waved his hand quickly and said in panic: "Teacher Chaoyang, this is not what we mean, I-"
Because he was too excited, his always fluent eloquence became a little stuttering.
At this time, Sister Han, who had reacted, quietly left the office without caring about registration and trotted all the way to the sixth floor.
"Mayor Zhang!"
She came to the door of an office with a "Deputy Mayor" sign hanging, and slapped the door hard.
The rapid and loud sound echoed in the corridor. In the always quiet government departments, such sounds seemed particularly abrupt, alarming several other comrades working in the office.
"Xiao Han, what happened? Why are you so irritable? Mayor Zhang is not at home and goes to the gymnasium to inspect."
The deputy director in charge of the daily work of the office shouted.
Sister Han didn't bother to explain to the deputy director and asked, "When will he be back?"
Deputy Director Mei, this question is too taboo.
"Tell me if you have something to do, I'll convey it to you."
Sister Han said impatiently: "It's better to contact him quickly, we're here-"
As she spoke, she suddenly realized that there were a few onlookers next to her, so she quickly pulled the deputy director aside and started to speak in a low voice.
"How many? Thirty million?"
The deputy director's shocked voice only sounded for a moment, and he forced himself to suppress it, but the shock on his face remained unabated.
He turned his head and looked back and forth, shouting, "Stop looking, do whatever you should do."
A few hungry heads shrank back unwillingly.
Then the deputy director lowered his voice and couldn't help asking again, "Are you sure? It's 30 million?"
"Can this be fake? They have brought their passbooks. That's Xu Lingjun. They can't come over and joke with our city government!"
The deputy director turned his mind quickly and said to Sister Han: "You go back first, do a good job in reception, and don't neglect others. I'll contact Mayor Zhang immediately and try to let him come back as soon as possible. I'll go down after calling."
"good."
Sister Han agreed and hurried downstairs to the deputy director return to the office. She first tried to contact Mayor Zhang to inspect the unit where she was inspecting her work today, but was told that Mayor Zhang and his group had left and the destination was unclear.
He had no choice but to send a message to Mayor Zhang's pager on the phone. After waiting for a few minutes, he still didn't see the other party reply. He didn't know if the other party didn't see it or had no conditions to call.
Thinking of this, he was a little anxious and said to the young man in the office: "Xiao Li, now there is something to report to Mayor Zhang. If you want a car, go out quickly."
As he said that, he informed Xiao Li of the news he had just heard. The other party had a good expression. The deputy director said anxiously: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get a car, go!"
"Okay, Director."
Xiao Li knew that this was a major event related to the Asian Games fundraising, so he did not dare to neglect it. He rushed out of the office and rushed towards the driver's shift.
After Xiao Li left, the deputy director stood in front of the phone and walked back and forth. At this moment, the phone ringing on the desk rang, the sound was crisp and harsh.
The deputy director was shocked and immediately picked up the receiver, "Hey! Secretary Liu, yes, I'm looking for Mayor Baifa, there's something important!"
More than twenty minutes later, an old red flag drove into the Yanjing Municipal Government compound. The car drove by and brought a cold wind to blow on the sentrymen at the door. It felt like the car was much faster than usual.
Lao Hongqi stopped in front of the government office building, and the deputy director who had already been waiting here came to the car door.
Zhang Baifa is the deputy mayor of Yanjing City, the commander-in-chief of the Asian Games, and the director of the Asian Games Fundraising Office. After getting off the car, he immediately asked: "
Where are people?”
"In the fundraising office upstairs, Xiao Han and Xiao Kuang are in charge of the reception."
"quick!"
Zhang Baifa took two steps in three steps and walked into the office building with great strides.
At this time, in the fundraising office, Kuang Guangze and Sister Han had just registered the donation amount for a while, and were chatting with Lin Chaoyang and his wife enthusiastically.
The two asked if they wanted to go to the bank to transfer the money to the foundation account first. But Kuang Guangze and Sister Han were not in a hurry, but just kept saying thank you, but there was no repetition for more than ten minutes.
At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded at the door of the fundraising office.
Kuang Guangze was about to open the door, but a hearty laughter came from the door, and the person who came pushed open the door and walked straight in.
"Hahaha! This is Comrade Chaoyang, right?"
The visitor walked into the office, and only recognized it, and quickly locked Lin Chaoyang. His steps were fast and steady. With the spirit of wind and fire, Lin Chaoyang walked up to him before he could react and reached out to him.
Kuang Guangze wanted to introduce it, but he didn't want anyone to speak first.
"Hello Comrade Chaoyang, I am Zhang Baifa, the deputy mayor of Yanjing. Just call me Lao Zhang!"
Zhang Baifa's voice was loud, like a bell echoing in people's ears. The smile on his face was bright and sincere, and even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes seemed to be hidden in the crow's feet.
This deputy mayor, who was born as a steel bar worker, has a generous personality and is not care about details. When he was young, he was a famous model of labor in Yanjing City, setting off a wave of "learning from Zhang Baifa".
"Hello Mayor Zhang!"
After saying hello, Lin Chaoyang introduced Tao Yushu beside him to Zhang Baifa. The other party laughed again and shook hands.
"I was just inspecting the construction of the gymnasium outside. I heard that the two of you are going to contribute to the construction of our Asian Games. I am really grateful, thank you!"
Zhang Baifa is not the kind of leader who makes an appointment with others, but he has a sense of cheerfulness and sincerity, which can easily make people feel good about it.
He pulled Lin Chaoyang and his wife to sit down and learned in detail about their donations.
