Instant Millionaire

Chapter 36 It’s Him

It was said that students who donated 1,000 Yuan or more get to give a speech on the stage, however

everyone did not seem excited as the purpose of their donations were to help the children from the

village community and not for the fame.

After the host finished giving the speech, a few students went up to the stage to give a quick speech

while the rest did not move and started praising that only student who donated up to 100,000 Yuan as if

it was planned.

Yair Ivan, who took the initiative to go up the stage and said, "… Today, I would like to criticize some

people who only donates 1 Yuan and still can feel proud as if he has done such a big contribution

towards the children from the village community… Therefore, we should all learn from that only student

who donates up to 100,000 Yuan not only because of his wealth but also his high level of morality. I,

myself only donate 2,200 Yuan and should feel ashamed of myself. If there is a chance, perhaps I

would like to express my gratitude towards him personally later.”

Yair was thinking if that person could donate up to100,000 Yuan, he is absolutely an extraordinary

person! So, he purposely praised him on the stage so that it would be easier to flatter when he meets

with that person.

While Yair was giving away his speech, Quincy Lane felt butterflies in the stomach as he felt lucky that

he did not mention anything about himself when he made the donation. Or else, he would have left the

venue immediately if he was asked to go up to the stage to give a speech.

After Yair finished his speech, he walked down from the stage.

The audience were influenced by his speech and started gossiping about that unknown person who

donated only 1 Yuan, while praising another person who donated 100,000 Yuan up more.

"Wow! Who donates only 1 Yuan?! How embarrassing is that?”

"Can someone tell me who is he? I feel like slapping on his face!”

"Oh, How I wish to meet that person who donates 100,000 Yuan, he must be very handsome!”

……

While everyone was having the discussion, Yair laughed and said, "Quincy, did you hear that?

Everyone is gossiping about you, you piece of shit!”

Since no one else went up to the stage, the host quickly went up to continue the following program of

the event.

"Okay, let us continue with our next group photo session, due to the space limitation of the stage, we Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

can only invite up to 30 persons for the group photo. To those who donated but not invited to the stage,

please pardon me, and I shall continue to announce the name-list on my hand right now…”

"Alexandra Ross, donates 2200 Yuan”

"Mr. Yair Ivan, donates 2200 Yuan”

"Efrain Montoya, donates 2250 Yuan”

……

"Dear, it’s your turn!" Anne Poole reminded Yair with excitement while pulling his arm vigorously.

"I would like to join the group photo session, would you like to go up with me, dear?” she asked.

Anne hoped to get a piece of group photo as she would like to show it to her class committees so that

she would get extra scores, in the meantime, she would stand a better chance on scholarship

evaluation at the end of the school semester. Besides, she could proudly post it online to show off to

her friends.

"Why not? I’ll just tell them right now, let’s go!" Yair held her arms and moved up to the stage.

"Excuse me, we do not have space anymore, please do not bring another person up to the stage,

please understand" the girl with glasses who was maintaining the order stopped Anne.

"Hello, please understand. If you don’t say anything, no one knows" Anne replied her in a soft and

polite tone, however it was rejected immediately.

"Let go of me! Who are you to stop me?!" Yair pushed that girl away and pulled Anne back up to the

stage.

"What a rude and inconsiderate manner! Oh, what a miracle that even this kind of person would make

donation for the poor!" the girl with glasses muttered angrily.

At this moment, the whole atmosphere was pushed to the climax! The host proudly announced the top

3 donors.

"Please allow us to invite the 3rd highest donor, Mr. Jordan Farmer who donates 15,000 Yuan!”

The ladies on the stage below were feeling excited while looking at Jordan walking up the stage and

hugging the people around him.

"Next, please allow us to invite the 2nd highest donor, Mr. Wade Burgess who donates 18,000 Yuan!”

Wade walked up to the stage.

"Wade! Wade! We love you! We really do!”

"Wade donates, everything is great!”

For the sake of getting his attention, the ladies on the stage below were shouting and screaming at the

top of their lungs as if they were in the international concert.

Meanwhile, everyone was actually looking forward to the 1st highest donor who donates up to 100,000

Yuan.

"Last but not least, please allow us to welcome the 1st highest donor of the event! His donation is

130,000 Yuan!”

The hall felt like being blown up, some were spooked, some were trembled while the rest of the

audience stood up and started to look for the donor.

130,000 Yuan, most of the students’ parents would never earn this much of money annually.

When Anne heard the shocking announcement from the host, her heart felt uproar and thinking if only

she knew that rich student, and if only he had interest on her , she would have just dumped Yair right

away.

Everyone was looking for that student, unfortunately no one stood up and everyone felt anxiously

changing their attention back to the host so that he could announce the name of that student.

"To be honest, on that day when he made the donation of 130,000 Yuan, he did not bother to mention

his name and left..." the host explained.

"Donate without leaving the name? What does this mean? He just purely wants to help the children in

the village community without wanting any fame from it. What a respect!”

"Oh, How I wish to meet this student, he is definitely my idol!”

……

"Excuse me, if you happen to be in the hall, please come up to the stage for group photo session" the

host asked while scanning through the audience.

In the end, no one stood up and the audience assumed that he did not attend the event and felt utterly

disappointed.

Quincy was sitting on the last row while covering his face with hands. At this moment, he felt relieved

with a trace of guilt as if he had fooled everyone in the hall.

The host started to arrange all the donors to stand up to continue the group photo session, and

everyone stood in a line facing downwards the cameramen.

Yair donated the least amount of all the donors therefore, he could only stand on the very right side of

the group with Anne, while she was trying to fit into the group as if a little further right, she might be just

pushed away from the stage.

Finally, everyone managed to stand accordingly, Anne quickly arranged her hairstyle while holding on

Yair’s arm with a big smiley face.

She intentionally looked down on Jane Dulce from the stage below with a smirk on her face.

"Jane, only my man could bring me up to the stage for the group photo session, how about you? Are

you thinking of getting a rich man to be better than me? Oh please, look at yourself! Forever, I mean

forever you would never be above me.”

At this moment, Quincy felt like leaving since the event has come to an end, he pulled Anne’s hand and

wanted to leave the hall quietly.

"Just a minute!" Quincy just moved two steps, a random lady’s exciting voice resounded through the

hall, he subconsciously looked at the direction of the voice coming and assumed that something bad

was going to happen. He was completed stunned.

That lady with ponytail shouted, "Yes, it was him who made the donation the other day!”

She was facing directly towards at Quincy, his hesitant expression turned into surprise, she ran towards

him and pulled his arms over and presented loudly to everyone, "Dear all, this is the donor who

donates 130,000 Yuan!”

Everyone’s attentions quickly focused on Quincy. "This poor looking donor is that rich?" Everyone could

not believe their eyes and some even questioned the lady on the spot.

"It’s definitely him, it was me who asked him to make the donation, and my partner did take a photo of

us together, if you don’t believe it, here you go!" the lady with ponytail searched the photo gallery and

showed it to everyone.

"Oh my god, it’s really him!”

"Definitely, he’s the one!”

"He’s so low-key!”

……

At this point, everyone truly believed that it was Quincy who made the donation of 130,000 Yuan. Once

the host knew it was him, he quickly pulled him back to the stage.

"Hey, you, since your true identity has been revealed, I would like to thank you for making the donation

of 130,000 Yuan for the children from the village community, could you please tell us your name?" the

host handed the microphone towards his mouth.

At this very moment, he knew that he couldn’t hide or even pretended not knowing anything about it.

"Hello, my name is Quincy Lane" he said politely.

"All this while, it was Mr. Quincy who made that donation, the name itself sounds highly respectable

and such a well-mannered wealthy man. No, no…I mean youth. Once again, please allow us to show

another round of respect to Mr. Quincy, is that alright?" the host applauded and a huge applause from

the audience came along at the same time.

"Quincy! Quincy!" the audience rhythmically applauded his name. It lasted up to 30 seconds, then

gradually calm down.

"Alright, let us take a group photo, Mr. Quincy, since you are the highest donor, could you please stand

right in the middle!”

"Okay, if you say so…” Quincy noticed that there were two big eyes opened widely looking at him in

disbelief from the stage below and he asked the host, "May I bring my friend up together?”

"Of course!” the host answered without any hesitation.

Quincy thanked him, he went down the stage to hold Jane’s hand, who was still confused about the

situation and moved together up to the stage.

"Everyone on the side, please give us some space!” the rest quickly adjusted themselves for Quincy

and Jane to be in the middle of the stage.

With this arrangement, Anne who was standing on the side almost did not have any space at all.

"Excuse me, why not you just come down? There’s no space for you to stand anymore!” the lady in the

glasses informed politely.

"No, I really need to be in this group photo!” Anne replied.

When Anne and Yair heard that it was Quincy who made the donation of 130,000 Yuan, their chins

almost dropped to the ground and could not accept the reality.

At the same time, when Quincy brought Jane up to the stage, nothing could express the sadness she

felt.

"Previously when I wanted to go up the stage for a group photo, everyone did not allow and gossiped

behind my back. Now, it’s Jane’s turn, looking at all your insincere humble faces as if you are treating

Quincy like your father back home." Anne complained.

"If I go down now, I must look at Jane taking group photos from the stage below? What is this? I, Anne

Poole, have always wanted to keep Jane below my feet although I couldn’t win her this time, but I will

not move down! If not, she would bring this matter to laugh at me in the future." she added.

Looking at Anne’s rascal expression, the lady in the glasses felt speechless and quickly moved a chair

and put below the stage. "If you really wanted to be in the group photo, please stand on this chair, if not

I would ask the men to get you down from the stage.”

Anne knew that Yair was being helpless therefore, she just accepted her offer to stand on the chair on

the stage below while self-comforting herself that at least she wasn’t worse than Jane not knowing that

she had become the joke of the day by the audience.

"Is that girl some kind of joke?”

"Shorter than the others by half of the body height, like a dwarf, she looks awfully stupid.”

"She still wants to fight for the opportunity to be in the group photo even standing away from the stage,

I am so impressed, really.”
