Chapter 288
The woman in red entered the venue and was quickly swallowed up by the reveling crowd. I was busy wrapping up the event and didn't pay much attention to her whereabouts, striding towards the stage.
Taking the microphone from the host, I checked the time and said to the audience, "Everyone, there might be a heavy rain soon, so we may have to end today's event a bit earlier."
Someone in the crowd immediately said, "Let it rain, getting wet is no big deal. It's such a pity to end this wonderful event so soon!"
Another person chimed in, "Boss, are you just worried about the free food and drinks you provided today? No worries, we can pay for them!"
I smiled and replied, "You've all misunderstood. The event was organized on short notice, so we didn't take rainproof measures. Many of the equipment and kitchen utensils here can't get wet. Please forgive us. We'll hold events like this more often in the future, and you're always welcome to visit Xitang."
People looked up at the sky, which was indeed covered with thick clouds, and finally stopped insisting.
After instructing the participating merchants to distribute the remaining wine and food to the tourists, I signaled A Feng to bring the child from a poor family in need of help onto the stage, standing beside me. He looked timidly at the crowd that had just been celebrating.
I felt sad for his timid and inferior gaze. After a soft sigh, I put the microphone to my mouth and said to the crowd, "Today's event was not only for celebration but also had another purpose. We hope everyone can show their love and help this child, whose family is in great difficulty..."
What do you think?
