Therefore, the events of that evening left both of them with some mixed feelings. But after saying this, they suddenly felt a sense of relief. After all, some things need to be done by oneself, and some things can only be done to this extent. It's not that one can't do their best, but everyone has things that are more important to their own life.

Su Yi hadn't expected Mo Yuqing to suddenly propose personally participating in the fund. He noticed a slight unease in her voice regarding several girls who had been with him for a long time. These girls had been with him since the company's inception, sharing many years of experience. Initially, they were mostly naive girls fresh out of school; two or three years had passed in the blink of an eye. Now, however, they had matured, both in terms of ability and mindset, and he didn't need to worry about them. But psychologically, he still felt a pang of reluctance to let them go.

Holding Mo Yuqing in his arms, Su Yi smiled and said, "You don't need to worry so much. You can talk to them tomorrow and ask for their thoughts. After all, you'll need some assistants to manage this foundation. I always think that doing charity work can't always rely on others doing things for free. Even if that works temporarily, it's hard to sustain in the long run. Everyone has their own family to support, not just themselves. So the salaries of the employees in this foundation won't be too low. Even if those girls want different jobs, they can come to my company's human resources department. I'd welcome them with open arms. You know, I still need some experienced people like them."

Hearing Su Yi say that, Mo Yuqing felt much more at ease. She gently kissed Su Yi's cheek and said coquettishly, "So, from now on, I'll be working for Boss Su and waiting for you to pay me a salary."

Seeing her radiant smile, Su Yi was stunned and placed his lips on her delicate red lips. It was just a light kiss, but Mo Yuqing quickly pushed him away, looking around furtively like a thief, and whispered reproachfully, "You bad boy, we're on the road..."

"Then let's hurry home..." Su Yi's wicked smile made Mo Yuqing unsure whether to hate or love him.

The next day, Su Yi left Mo Yuqing's house. As he drove downstairs, seeing the person watching him leave from behind the window upstairs, a heavy feeling welled up in his heart. Relationships, after all, require responsibility. He didn't know how much of Mo Yuqing's willingness to personally manage her fund was because of him, but this factor couldn't be ignored. Now that Dream International had almost entirely moved out of the Century Building, inevitably, Su Yi and she would see each other much less often. Perhaps subconsciously, this woman still hoped to have a sense of presence in his life.

Modern urban men and women are increasingly afraid of the weight of responsibility, and the rise of one-night stands (ONS) among white-collar workers and spreading throughout society is perhaps a way to escape emotional responsibility and vent their psychological needs. Although Su Yi doesn't approve of this approach, he can understand this restless escapist mentality. After all, life is already incredibly heavy.

Su Yi could think of two ways to establish the charity foundation, but he found it difficult to choose.

One option is for him to establish a private charitable foundation with his own funds, which would allow the foundation to operate with far fewer constraints.

Another option is to establish a public charitable foundation under the name of Dream International. The advantage of this is that it leverages the group's domestic influence to ensure the foundation's proper functioning. It also allows for fundraising from the public through media attention. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Firstly, it could be accused of commercial hype. Secondly, raising funds from the public would require significant investment in transparency. Most importantly, Dream International is not his private property. Although he effectively controls 90% of the shares through his own name and through Solomon Yus Investment Company, Su Yi must consider the opinions of Liu Jun and Chen Yi, who each hold 5% of the group's shares. While verbal objections might be acceptable, he doesn't want this to create a rift between them.

As for whether it would be seen as commercial hype, Su Yi didn't care. After all, it was a good thing, and he couldn't possibly consider everyone's feelings—that would be too exhausting. Regarding transparency and openness, even if it came at a cost, it would at least set an example for other foundations in the future. In fact, there are quite a few Chinese people willing to donate to charity, but due to the prevailing social atmosphere, many people lack confidence in many bureaucratic charitable organizations. This lack of trust is a major reason why many people are hesitant to donate. Achieving financial transparency could at least inspire some people's enthusiasm for philanthropy.

With this in mind, Su Yi drove to the headquarters of Dream International. He found Liu Jun and explained his idea. After weighing the pros and cons, he still hoped to establish the charitable foundation under the company's name to give it greater influence. Su Yi told Liu Jun his plan, ultimately stating that the foundation would only use the company's name, but all the funds would be personally invested by him. The interests of the three shareholders of Solomon Yus Investment Company would not be affected.

Having been pulled aside by Su Yi to hear this news early in the morning, Liu Jun was caught off guard. After hearing what Su Yi had to say, Liu Jun said he would give him half an hour to think about it and would give him an answer then.

Since that was the case, Su Yi returned to his office to handle some matters. He was mentally prepared that if Liu Jun disagreed, it would have to be done in his personal capacity. In that case, the influence he could achieve as China's richest man would be within an acceptable range.

Liu Jun is a very meticulous and punctual person. Sure enough, he arrived at Su Yi's office half an hour later. However, what he said surprised Su Yi.

“Xiao Yi, I’ve already contacted Chen Yi and discussed it with him. We all agree to your proposal, but we hope to be included as well. If Solomonius Investments disagrees, their profit losses can be compensated proportionally by our three share of the profits.” Seeing Su Yi’s surprised expression, he could guess the reason. Liu Jun said to Su Yi very sincerely, “Xiao Yi, to be honest, how much money does a person need in a lifetime? To maintain a normal life, it doesn’t take too much. Now, A Yi and I are both billionaires. Once you reach this amount, any more money is just a number. Your idea resonates with A Yi and me. Before, we felt very fulfilled and excited in this company because we were able to do things that we used to only dream of or even dare to imagine. We are already very satisfied with this kind of life. Being able to help more people is also very good. A Yi thinks the same way as me. Moreover, purely from a business perspective, establishing such a fund is very meaningful for the reputation of our group. Dream Group was created by us together, and it’s really satisfying to see it come to where it is today.”

Touched, Su Yi gripped Liu Jun's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. In that case, I'll go and talk to Solomonius. Once we have a result, we can begin this process."
