Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Sensation Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Sensation “Five… five hundred million??”
The principal, upon hearing this amount, trembled so much that the microphone slipped from his grasp and crashed to the ground.
As for the others, they too erupted in a buzz of astonishment.
“Five hundred million, my God, did I hear that right?”
“Did he say billion? Are you sure it’s not yuan?”
“Absolutely certain, he definitely said five hundred million!”
“Tang Mu only donated 50 million, who on earth is this Lin Dong that he’s actually donating five hundred million!”
“…”
Lin Dong had a reputation in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
But those who were here today to attend the school anniversary weren’t other Traditional Chinese Medical experts.
Everyone did not recognize him.
Even Tang Mu was looking at Lin Dong, her face full of disbelief and shock.
“Five hundred million? Lin Dong is actually going to donate five hundred million? Can he really come up with that much money?” Tang Mu secretly said to herself.
At this moment, Zhang Zhihao spoke loudly:
“Lin Dong, you said you’ve only been a doctor for half a year. Even if you were a Divine Doctor, you couldn’t have earned five hundred million in that time, right?”
“At most you could’ve made five million. Who believes you’re donating five hundred million?”
“Don’t boast so high that in the end you can’t produce the money.”
It was not only Zhang Zhihao who was questioning.
All the people present began to doubt after Zhang Zhihao’s words.
This was about five hundred million, not just five hundred thousand or five million.
Luo Guangyan was ‘ahhhh’-ing and wildly gesticulating.
Obviously, though she couldn’t speak, one could tell from her body language she likely agreed with Zhang Zhihao.
Meaning Lin Dong surely couldn’t produce the money, and was just bragging.
Even the principal couldn’t help but question:
“Lin Dong, are you sure you want to donate five hundred million?”
Lin Dong nodded, “When I was studying, my family was poor. I received aid from the country and kind-hearted donors.”
“For this, I am very grateful. Now that I am capable, I have decided to donate five hundred million to serve as an educational fund to help the needy students of Shi County.”
“Cough cough…” the principal coughed dryly and said, “Lin Dong, your intentions are good.”
“But that’s five hundred million, Lin Dong, can you… really produce that amount?”
Lin Dong couldn’t be bothered with further discussion and spoke directly, “Principal, does the school’s fundraising account have a limit?”
The principal nodded and responded, “The limit is ten million.”
Lin Dong frowned slightly and asked, “Which bank is it?”
“Industrial and Commercial Bank.”
“Could you report the card number?”
The principal reported a card number.
After hearing it once, Lin Dong had completely memorized it.
He nodded and made a call.
Soon after the call was made, Lin Dong said, “I’ve just raised the card’s limit to five hundred million!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s jaws dropped.
Immediately thereafter, Zhang Zhihao and others started laughing, “Lin Dong, do you think you’ll die if you don’t brag? Who do you think you are? With one phone call, the bank on the other end will just immediately process it for you?”
“Having such a privilege would at least require the status of Shi County’s wealthiest person.”
“The wealthiest person in Shi County might not even be able to do that; it’d have to be the wealthiest person inside the city, right?”
Luo Guangyan also seemed to gesture wildly, and what she wanted to convey was probably the same as what Zhang Zhihao expressed.
Lin Dong, unwilling to deal with these people any longer, made another call.
“Transfer five hundred million to account number XXXXXXXX at the Industrial and Commercial Bank.”
“Okay, respected Mr. Lin.”
The call Lin Dong made was to his dedicated service personnel at the World Bank.
It was said that this person’s position at the World Bank was not low, as she was a Vice President.
Lin Dong did not know her name, but by her voice, she seemed very young. Although she spoke with Lin Dong in Dragon Country language, he could still make out her foreign accent.
She must be a young foreign woman.
After the call ended, he spoke to the principal Duan Xiuming, “Principal, you can check the account now to see if an extra five hundred million has been added!”
Principal Duan Xiuming quickly went to check the account.
The accountant shook his head after checking, “No, there isn’t.”
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. This guy named Lin Dong, he really knows how to boast, doesn’t he?”
“The situation just now had me fooled. I actually thought he could come up with five hundred million to make a donation.”
“Lin Dong, this is just making a spectacle of yourself.”
“…”
The ones laughing the hardest were Zhang Zhihao and company.
As for Luo Guangyan, although she was now mute and couldn’t speak, it didn’t prevent her from scoffing and laughing hysterically.
But at that moment, the accountant who had just checked suddenly exclaimed, “Pr… Principal. Suddenly, there’s been a deposit…”
“Nine digits, oh my God, nine digits. This deposit is nine digits. That’s… five hundred million!”
“Principal, we’ve truly received five hundred million!”
Boom––––––
The buzz that spread was like a tsunami, instantly sweeping the entire Celebration Square.
Zhang Zhihao and others, who had just mocked Lin Dong for bragging and showing off, abruptly fell silent.
As for Luo Guangyan who was wildly gesticulating and laughing, she froze as if petrified.
Everyone looked towards Lin Dong in unison, their minds filled with a big exclamation mark and question mark.
“This Lin Dong, he actually donated five hundred million!!!”
“What exactly is his identity???”
