“Oh yeah, Sister Cheng Min, will the President be attending the event next week?” Gu Xinhan probed cautiously.

  Cheng Min answered promptly, “My mother isn’t feeling too well so she hasn’t been attending public events for some time. Hence, I should be the one attending the event on her behalf.”


  Gu Xinhan nodded to express her understanding. “Her health is more important.”


  Although Lin Shuya was a little disappointed that the old President wouldn’t be attending, Cheng Min’s attitude toward her meant that she was close to achieving her goal of entering the charity industry.

  Lin Shuya had maintained her mask of humility and politeness all along. “Actually, when I first started Angel’s Shelter, I didn’t think that far ahead. Even now, all I want is to provide a safe home for strays.

  Shakespeare once said that the quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Upon the place beneath, it is twice blessed. When I’m doing all these things, I actually feel blessed.”


  Cheng Min sighed aloud. “In the past few years, there has been a generally unhealthy trend. It’s rare to see a pure, kind person like you, Miss Lin.”


  “I’m just an insignificant spot of light. There are many seniors like Sister Han and, of course, the old President, who possess generous, big hearts.”


  Lin Shuya’s words included both the elderly President and Gu Xinhan. Not only did she make a favorable impression on Cheng Min, but the other guests and reporters were all full of praise for her as well.

  Lin Shuya’s eyes darted swiftly before she added, “It’s true that there is an unhealthy trend of people trying to do charity for ulterior motives. Thankfully, there is only a handful of them. In the entertainment industry, we despise them.”


  Cheng Min’s face hardened when she heard that. “Credibility is very important. That also applies to the charity vote.”


  One of the managers overheard her and nodded eagerly. “Vice President Cheng, rest assured that we will be more stringent with the process to ensure fairness!”


  After the event ended, the news of Lin Shuya being praised by Cheng Min and mentioned by the old President spread online.

  Sure enough, Lin Shuya’s popularity swelled swiftly.

  At the same time, Lin Shuya and Gu Xinhan’s promotional video was published and was complimented by everyone.

  ‘Ah! I fell head over heels in love with Shuya today! How can such a beautiful, kind, and pure angel exist?’


  ‘Even the promotional video is out! Shuya will definitely be crowned!’


  ‘That goes without saying! Even the Vice President of the charity organization has praised her a lot!’


  ‘To top it off, the elderly President knew that Shuya established Angel’s Shelter!’
……

  At the same time, many people began to attack Lin Yan once again for buying votes and pretending to do charity by adopting a kitten.

  ‘What the…… I can’t take it anymore! Lin Yan is downright shameless! She is like a disgusting piece of plaster who refuses to leave Lin Shuya. How could she use charity to try to salvage her reputation?’


  ‘How is she even fit to do charity? She sullies everything she touches!’


  ‘Only a blind person would vote for her! How dare she be so brazen as to buy votes! Isn’t the management going to do anything about this? How can they allow her to be included in the election? They should eliminate her!’


  Many people tried to badger the charity organization management in a bid to get them to investigate Lin Yan’s votes. All of them were clamoring for Lin Yan to be disqualified.

  The management had been instructed by Cheng Min to be very stringent and fair during the process as well.
