Compared to the extremely polarized comment section in the past, this time, almost all of the comments were in favor of Ye Chen.

Although there are inevitably some sarcastic rhetoric, but underneath those sarcastic remarks are clear accusations.

After all, in this wave of reactions from all walks of life to the disaster in the Central Plains, Ye Chen not only did not deserve to be criticized, on the contrary, it could be said that he had done his best!

Not to mention other companies under Ye Chen.

Yiren Ruxue alone has donated 500 million...

There is no doubt that this is the largest single donation amount in the country's history, no doubt about it!

In addition, Ye Chen could have asked those companies under his control that were still in a loss-making state not to participate in the donation. After all, even if the companies in a loss-making state did not donate, the outside world would have nothing to say. However, Ye Chen still asked them to donate, and the amount he donated was 100 million per company.

In addition to donations from his various companies, Ye Chen personally booked all the hotels in Central China to provide shelter for the homeless victims. Although compared with Yiren Ruxue's 500 million donation, or even donations from other companies under his control, the money for booking hotels can be said to be insignificant, but looking back over the years, how many wealthy people have been able to put their support into meeting such basic needs at the grassroots level?

So, can Ye Chen be blackened like this? Is there any more blackening to be done? No matter how many black histories there are in the past.

No matter how bad the reputation dominated by public opinion was in the past.

At least in this flood disaster in the Central Plains, Ye Chen's work really moved the majority of netizens!

"If you continue to criticize Mr. Ye in this donation incident, then you are just being brainless!"

"So far, excluding Ye Chen's companies, the total amount of corporate donations disclosed is 1.7 billion, and several companies under Ye Chen donated 1 billion. Ye Chen personally booked all the hotels in the Central Plains. Can such a Ye Chen still be blackmailed?"

"If possible, I hope that there will be more 'nouveau riche' like Mr. Ye in our land of China. Our land of China also needs more 'nouveau riche' like Mr. Ye!"

"In the past, I have often followed the crowd to slander Mr. Ye. As a Central Plains person, my face is burning and my eyes are wet. I just want to kowtow to Mr. Ye from a distance. From now on, I am Mr. Ye's die-hard fan!"

"Just now I saw someone say that Mr. Ye is putting on a show and using money to buy reputation. I really want to slap him in the face. If he is doing it for show, does he need to donate 1 billion? Do he need to book all the hotels for the disaster-stricken people in the Central Plains to stay? As long as Yiren Ruxue donates 200 million, it will be the largest donation in this Central Plains flood disaster. Is it necessary to donate 1 billion in total? Besides, does Mr. Ye need to put on a show and use money to buy reputation? Even if he is still the upstart who is blackened by the whole network, don't you still have to squat in front of your mobile phone to buy the flawless cream? Don't you still have to immerse yourself in the "reincarnation" and can't extricate yourself? Don't you still have to wait in line for a table at Jianghu Hotpot while cursing? No matter what his personal reputation is, it can't affect his company, so he doesn't even need to spend 1 billion to put on a show to buy reputation!!!

"I will be your lifelong fan from now on, and I will never stop being one! However, no matter how good Mr. Ye was in the past, from now on he will be a benefactor in the eyes of all the people in the Central Plains! I won't say more, thank you, Mr. Ye!"

"After the flood, I will take my whole family to eat Jianghu Hotpot, even if I have to queue for three hours!

In the mountain stream.

Ye Chen just browsed the various contents and comments on Weibo and Douyin.

Although its reputation has undergone a dramatic turnaround in this Central Plains flood incident.

But he still didn't feel happy at all.

As some netizens said, he doesn't care about his reputation at all!

He just wanted to do something for the Central Plains, that's all.

"call!

Just let out a breath of foul air.

Just as Ye Chen was about to put down his phone.

The cell phone rings.

Lin Xi!

"Hey, Sister Xi!" Ye Chen called out softly with a forced smile.

"Your generosity is really extraordinary. You spent 1 billion yuan in one go. I just checked the public opinion on the Internet. You have completely turned around your reputation!" Lin Xi on the other end chuckled.

"Do you think I did this to restore my reputation?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you have any idea at all?" Lin Xi was stunned.

"No!" Ye Chen said decisively.

Lin Xi on the other end was startled again, "I am too narrow-minded!" "Sister Xi, you didn't call me to talk about this, did you? Ye Chen changed the subject.

"No, I just wanted to chat with you for a few minutes. After learning that your companies donated a total of 1 billion to Zhongyuan and that you booked all the hotels in Zhongyuan to provide accommodation for the victims, the old man was so relieved that tears welled up in his eyes!" Lin Xi said.

"It's just a piece of cake. One billion may be an astronomical figure for others, but it is still easily affordable for me!" Ye Chen said lightly.

"Being able to bear and being willing to bear are two concepts that cannot be confused! After all, even powerful companies like Ali and Tencent only donated 150 million and 100 million respectively!" Lin Xi said.

Ye Chen smiled, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, Lin Xi on the other end of the line wisely stopped talking and said, "Well, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Let's get down to business. There will be an economic summit in Yanjing in a few days, and many of the country's top business leaders will attend. I want to ask if you are interested. If you are, I can get you an invitation!

"Why? You want to help me expand my network of contacts!" Ye Chen laughed happily.

"I'm not criticizing you, but up to now, how many business leaders have you interacted with? Xu Jia from Xiangda Group, Dong Qian from Wuji Group, He Wan'an from Wan'an Catering Group, and Zhao Qian, the coal tycoon from western Shanxi. These are roughly the only ones. To be honest, you can't go on like this. Not to mention having a full house of guests, but at least you have to know each other and have a way to contact each other! But you, on the other hand, never step out of the house, acting like a hands-off boss and living on your own. This is not a good sign!" Lin Xi said with a smile.

"It seems that Sister Xi has investigated me a lot!" Ye Chen smiled helplessly. "Seriously, this economic summit is definitely worth going to, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you to talk about it. Do you want to consider it?" Lin Xi said seriously.

"Sister Xi, I appreciate your kindness, but to be honest, I'm not used to sitting in the audience and listening to other people talk, so forget it, I'm not very interested! As for those business leaders attending the summit, I'm not in a hurry to make friends with them for the time being, mainly because I don't want to take the initiative! Ye Chen said perfunctorily.
