Chapter 1223 — You Can't Just Make Predictions

"So that's how it is!" After hearing his daughter's words, Gu Pengzhan was moved to reflection. "So the children at the orphanage are that pitiful. This fundraiser is indeed very necessary! But Yaoyao, have you considered — although there are plenty of wealthy students at school, most of them are just spending their parents' allowance. Even if they donate, they can't donate much. I'd estimate that all the donations from one school combined wouldn't amount to more than a hundred or two hundred thousand yuan. For the orphanage, that's no more than a drop in the bucket!"
"But even a drop in the bucket is better than nothing for the orphanage as it is now!" Gu Mengyao naturally understood this. "It's still better than me donating alone, isn't it?"
"Hmm... How about this: I'll have Principal Ding send invitations in the school's name to some of Songshan City's social elite. If they can participate in the donation too, it could bring the orphanage a considerable sum! After all, their donations and the students' donations aren't on the same order of magnitude!" Gu Pengzhan said after a moment's thought.
"Oh?" Gu Mengyao's eyes lit up. As a businessman, Daddy naturally saw things on a broader scale. She was both surprised and delighted. "That's wonderful! That way, even more people can donate!"
"Mm, I'll discuss this with Old Ding some more." Gu Pengzhan said. "By the way, Yaoyao, is Little Yi doing all right?"
"Huh?" Gu Mengyao was slightly startled. She glanced at Wei Zhao and said, "He's doing fine. Why do you ask?"
"Fine is good. Put him on the phone, will you? I have something to discuss with him," Gu Pengzhan said.
Although Gu Pengzhan had been very firm in his attitude toward the Xiao brothers yesterday, he was somewhat bluffing. After all, the Xiao family had two hidden experts from the Pi family backing them, which made Gu Pengzhan somewhat worried.
After the Xiao brothers left yesterday, there had been no further movement. Today Gu Pengzhan had deliberately checked the company's stock, and there hadn't been any major fluctuations. He had no idea how the Xiao family might retaliate against him, so he was especially concerned about Wei Zhao's safety.
As long as Wei Zhao wasn't injured or hospitalized, the Gu family was still safe for the time being.
"Uncle Chu, what did you want to talk to me about?" Wei Zhao took the phone and asked.
"Little Yi, how are you? I heard you were very busy yesterday, and some things weren't explained in detail. The Xiao brothers said that some great hero went to Yaoyao's villa and beat you into the hospital?" Gu Pengzhan asked.
"A great hero? Beat me into the hospital?" Wei Zhao was stunned. "The Xiao family came to see you again yesterday?"
"Yes, yesterday's events went like this..." Hearing Wei Zhao's astonished tone, which didn't seem feigned, Gu Pengzhan grew rather puzzled. Could it be that the Xiao brothers had come to him spouting nonsense? There was no great hero at all, and Wei Zhao hadn't been injured?
But the Xiao brothers' intelligence couldn't be that low, could it? Using such a clumsy excuse to deceive him?
