My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant

Zhou Zhaokun's answer was completely beyond my expectations. The extent of his generosity simply surpassed my understanding, as if 30 million yuan was to him merely the value of a few words.

After a brief shock, I quickly pondered how to respond to him and finally said, "President Zhou, we both understand that the credibility of charitable organizations is increasingly low nowadays. I believe that this 30 million should be spent where it's most needed, or rather, we should reduce the intermediaries and give it directly to the beneficiaries."

Zhou Zhaokun smiled and said, "Is this merely your suggestion for how I should use this money, or do you have an ulterior motive?"

I sincerely replied, "Half suggestion, half ulterior motive, because I believe I have a better plan to fulfill your needs. Of course, if you don't approve, then it's just a sincere suggestion, hoping that the 30 million can be donated to achieve its greatest value."

"Let's hear about your ulterior motive then."

I organized my thoughts in the shortest time possible and said, "…I hope you can lease the inn to me to manage, paying you a monthly rent of 100,000 yuan. This rent will be used to specifically help the nearby vulnerable groups start small businesses. After all, giving them money without providing them with a tool to earn is more meaningful. Moreover, the inn will continue to appreciate in value, and in a few years, it might be worth far more than 30 million. By then, you, still owning the property, can deal with it however you wish, and it will be even more valuable than now."

After I finished speaking, Zhou Zhaokun wore a contemplative expression and after a long time, he said to me, "It seems like a win-win-win proposal, but I want to know how you plan to help those vulnerable groups start small businesses?"

After a brief thought, I said, "I plan to build a food corner in the square in front of the inn, then cooperate with the surrounding bars to hold regular events and performances. While turning this inn into a hipster haven, the food corner will also be provided free of charge to the nearby vulnerable groups to sell snacks. The 100,000 yuan rent paid to you each month will be used to purchase various equipment for making snacks, giving them a real opportunity to start a business without any capital."

Zhou Zhaokun once again looked thoughtful, and I quietly waited. A Feng beside me gently nudged me and gave me a thumbs up, clearly moved by the proposal I had put forward.
