Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 627: Chapter 620: Act First, Report Later

After taking the photos, Sisi prepared to return to the Capital City. The first stop of the exhibition definitely had to be in the Capital City, as it is the political center of the nation. Starting there would undoubtedly garner significant attention and influence.

Meanwhile, she also called He Xuewen, Tian Manjin, and Uncle Mu. As for Hong Kong, she left it to Mo Liu to go back and inform them. Whether it’s for fame or for the people, they should still contribute some money given the flood disaster!

In fact, even if Sisi didn’t mention it, He Xuewen and the others were also preparing to donate. Therefore, Ai Hua Company took the lead and donated 5 million to the disaster area in G Province, the He Family Winery donated 3 million, and then Green Health Company followed with a donation of 1 million. Uncle Mu, being a patriotic overseas businessman, not only donated 3 million himself but also mobilized overseas Chinese to gather a considerable amount of donations and supplies, truly delivering a timely help.

As for Boss Qiao and Li Fuyuan, after seeing Uncle Mu’s actions, they were unwilling to fall behind. So, after some discussion, they started jointly fundraising in Hong Kong, while the Mo Family used their influence in Hong Kong to rally the entire city’s people to contribute to the disaster victims in their hometown.

With Li Fuyuan playing the good cop, Boss Qiao playing the bad cop, and with the moral proposal suggested by the Mo Family, the fundraising in Hong Kong was very successful, even matching the amounts raised by Uncle Mu overseas.

Whether it was Uncle Mu or Li Fuyuan, when sending representatives to liaise with the Mainland, they would mention Sisi’s name. The implication was that one reason they were doing these things was because they are citizens of Z country and should never forget their roots, and another reason was due to Sisi’s suggestion.

It wasn’t that Sisi taught them to say this; she didn’t know how they all came to think the same way.

Uncle Mu, without saying, was helping create momentum for his niece; that was a must. But Li Fuyuan’s actions were harder to understand.

Li Fuyuan secretly chuckled. This old man never does business at a loss. If there’s no gain, I won’t get involved!

As it turns out, Li Fuyuan, this shrewd man, was making a bold gamble. He analyzed Tian Xinhua’s career path over the years and the resources behind him and suddenly arrived at a daring conclusion.

So, he decided to find a truly powerful backer for the Li Family. As long as he had this backer, the Li Family would definitely continue to prosper for a century!

Actually, Li Fuyuan had considered the Jins in the past, but upon seeing the Jins’ current situation, he dared not place his bets on them.

To him, the Jins now were like the Jia Mansion in "Dream of the Red Chamber," appearing prosperous on the surface but in reality, close to collapse. The Jins could still maintain their outward splendor entirely because Jin Guangrong was still alive. But once Jin Guangrong died before that person, the Jins would surely fall.

So, compared to the Jins, he preferred to choose Tian Xinhua, who was still inconspicuous at present. This was not only because Tian Xinhua was competent and ruthless, but mainly because Mr. Yun, who backed Tian Xinhua, was still in good health, definitely outliving Jin Guangrong.

Sometimes, being able to live even one more day is a kind of luck!

It must be said, Li Fuyuan, this old man is indeed a hero with sharp insight, who makes decisive decisions when necessary, exhibiting great courage and determination.

With the support of many people, the post-disaster reconstruction in G Province proceeded vigorously, while Sisi also returned to the Capital City with Du Du and Shangguan. Mo Liu mentioned he would take leave from the University of Z in Hong Kong and then meet with Sisi in the Capital City.

Moreover, the creative inspiration for Mo Liu’s photography this time was flowing continuously, almost producing a work a day, all revolving around the flood disaster.

Sisi and Shangguan had already seen those paintings, which resonated with people strongly and, in some ways, touched people more profoundly than the photographs she had taken.

Shangguan didn’t feel much, but Sisi felt deeply ashamed. As a fellow art student, she had stopped painting, while Mo Liu’s painting skills had reached unprecedented heights. Truly embarrassing!

But doesn’t she have the Green Home?

This is also a very meaningful endeavor, right?

Sisi attended the entire exhibition in the Capital City, providing explanations to the visitors. As someone who had firsthand experience, her storytelling was more vivid. The number of visitors grew daily, and Green Home was severely understaffed, which was solved only after Xiao Liu brought more volunteer college students from school.

After that, Sisi did not participate in the tours to other places. She entrusted Xiao Zhang to lead the team because she needed a good rest. Ever since being trapped by the flood, she hadn’t had a proper rest; her physical strength was severely drained, even with a body altered by Spiritual Liquid.

While resting at home, Sisi didn’t know that the tour she organized had a significant impact nationwide, like a water mine setting off intense waves on the calm waters.

Everyone was aware that G Province suffered from the disaster and knew the losses were significant, including fatalities, but how exactly people died and how tragic it was remained unclear to them.

Sisi’s photographs provided the most direct explanations. Beside each photo, she included annotations explaining how many people died in this village due to the flash flood, how many of them were children.

What shocked them the most were the photos of the corpses; nothing shook the human heart more than these images.

We could say that Sisi’s exhibition brought the most realistic flood disaster report to everyone.

The public most needed to hear the truth, whether ugly or beautiful, without beautification; all they wanted was reality.

Sisi felt considerable pressure for this tour. While she didn’t understand politics, she was not naive either.

However, after much hesitation, she decided to report based on her investigation. Hence, she began the exhibition immediately upon returning to the Capital City, taking a "act first, report later" approach. She figured if there were criticisms, they would wait till the exhibition was over anyway.

However, she gave Zhang Jie a heads up beforehand, knowing that this exhibition could possibly implicate Zhang Jie, since Zhang Jie was appointed to supervise her.

Zhang Jie didn’t mind, saying, "If I lose my job, I’ll work for you, Sisi. Your salary can’t be lower than what I currently earn!"

"No problem, it’ll definitely be higher than what you’re earning now," Sisi assured with a pat on her chest.

Thus, these three audacious sisters stirred up waves nationwide.

This incited the fury of the higher authorities as well, who called Mr. Yun for a reprimand. Mr. Yun innocently claimed ignorance, saying, "Kids grow up. They no longer tell parents everything like they used to!"

Mr. Yun’s shifting of blame nearly gave the higher authority a stroke out of anger, but he had no choice. He couldn’t just shoot the old man, right?

The two exchanged glances for a while until that person finally waved to dismiss Mr. Yun. Mr. Yun returned to the Yun Mansion with a smile, requesting Sisi to make him beef dumplings, asserting that he wouldn’t work for free.
