Chapter 64 Starting Charity from Scratch
Chapter 64 Starting Charity from Scratch
Sullivan, whose name was called, seemed to be frozen in place, startled by the sharpness that unintentionally flashed in those eyes.
He then realized that, no matter what, Bruce's surname was Wayne, and having been able to bear this surname and grow up to this day, even if he was a playboy and incompetent, he was not someone that he could question or judge at will.
Noticing Sullivan's stunned expression, Bruce immediately laughed, which, in the eyes of others, revealed his frivolous and brainless nature once again.
"Look at this one..."
Seeing that Bruce had stopped talking while pretending to be stupid, Jung Eun took the opportunity to give his pseudonym.
"Jean".
"Yes, Jean." Bruce clapped his hands. "Sullivan, from now on, Mr. Jean will be the foundation's activities manager."
"You're right, some things do require professionals. From now on, you'll be his assistant manager. You'll be fully responsible for assisting him in all activities, big and small."
He casually uttered something astonishing: "You know, he's just an amateur. If anything goes wrong, the board will have to come to you. Do a good job, and I believe you can shine in the foundation and help those homeless people."
Jung Eun raised an eyebrow. "I'm honored."
Sullivan gritted his teeth, "Me too."
Bruce floated over and floated away.
He seemed completely unaware of the magnitude of his decision and didn't care what others thought, getting into the car while still on the phone.
"...Oh, of course, honey, I can't wait for our date..."
He blew a kiss through the phone, "My lovely Elena, uh, or Miranda? Sorry, baby, I was a bit tipsy last night... Of course, of course, what kind of gift do you want? That latest Chanel bag? Or Hermès?"
"Both? No problem..."
Left behind, Jung Eun and Sullivan watched Bruce get into the sports car until it disappeared at the end of the street before they turned around and looked at each other.
Feeling pleased with himself for getting the best deal, Zheng En remained unfazed by Sullivan's sour face and said, "Do a good job, buddy."
Sullivan, whose job title remained unchanged but who now had an Asian boss whom he looked down upon, was speechless.
"Don't get too cocky. Wayne is just impulsive. Before long, he'll be drowning his sorrows in women."
Sullivan knew that his previous words had already created a grudge with Jung Eun, and he didn't care about creating one more. "Don't think he cares that much about the foundation."
"He fired the original project manager and reorganized the organization just to pick up a woman, a member of the foundation's supervisory board," Sullivan scoffed. "Little Wayne went to great lengths to woo her, and now, less than a month later, he's dating someone else."
"He can be blind to promote you, and he can be blind to promote others."
"But you won't be the one promoted by someone who's blind." Zheng En patted Sullivan on the shoulder with a smile. "Based on that alone, he shouldn't be completely blind yet."
Sullivan's voice cooled, "It's none of your business!"
Zheng En watched him walk away with a smile, feeling quite pleased with the prospect of having her own personal oxen and horses.
What pleased him even more was the panel that appeared in his field of vision.
[Daily Task: Work Required (Completed)]
Arson, debt collection, corpse collection... Although it's hard to find a normal job in a hellish place like Gotham, you might as well make the best of it and believe in yourself.
[Mission Reward: $50 USD, 0.1 Simulation Points]
Status: Completed
[Daily Task: The Wanderer's Gratitude (Completed)]
A loaf of bread, a full meal... are these gifts from God? The little food you provide might allow some people to live a few more days.
[Mission Reward: $50 USD, 0.1 Simulation Points]
Status: Completed
Completing the two daily tasks in one go is nothing special; what's important is the new task notification.
[Long-term mission: Doing charity from scratch]
Have you ever heard of the "kill line"?
The people living on this messed-up land could easily fall into an abyss if they weren't careful.
Losing your house, losing your family, losing your money, losing everything... Even though this city is a notorious crime capital, here, fires are actually fought off, insurance claims are actually paid out, and even charitable organizations are truly doing real work rather than just putting on a show.
It's difficult for people who have fallen to the bottom to rise again on their own, but fortunately, there are people willing to pay the price for their happiness.
[Task Requirements: Help one hundred people get their lives back on track]
[Mission Reward: $100,000]
Simulated points × 30
Good deeds are rewarded (most people will feel good about you when they see you, and the kindness you show will come back to you, perhaps even in a crucial moment).
This is the first time Zheng En has received a long-term mission. The explanation given on the panel is that long-term missions need to be completed in stages. For example, the mission Zheng En is currently seeing requires helping one hundred people. After receiving this part of the reward, the requirement may change to helping five hundred people, and then a new reward will be given.
interesting.
Zheng En accepted the task without hesitation. With a powerful backer, funding and manpower would not be a problem.
The task title is "Starting Charity from Scratch," but the foundation is a long-established organization with plenty of experience in organizing events.
Zheng En didn't rush to do the task.
After Bruce left, he stood there for a while and watched the foundation staff work. They were organized and gentle, much more professional than when Jung Eun was handing out things with a few children.
Not everyone will listen to the children, but the staff who maintain order are strong and healthy, and their words carry much more weight.
Zheng En didn't stay long before deciding to leave. The homeless people were there to collect their food for the day, and it was time for him to take the children back for a meal.
Before leaving, Jason seemed to be thinking about something, with a worried expression on his face. His expression didn't improve when he got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng En noticed his unusual behavior, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of anything that could make him worry.
The other kids were cheering that Jung Eun had gotten the job, exclaiming, "Wow, that's Wayne Enterprises!"
"I heard their salaries are quite high, and their benefits are excellent!"
"Besides, the boss seems stupid and easy to fool, so even if he falsifies accounts, he probably won't be caught."
"Idiot! Didn't you hear what that sullen-faced guy said? The guy who was fired before was arrested for embezzling money!"
"Even though the boss is an idiot, he's rich and has a lot of capable people working for him!"
Jason looked even more worried after hearing their words. "I heard in the tabloids that Bruce Wayne is indiscriminate in his relationships with women..."
