"The Black Swan Charity Foundation was established at the end of September 2017.

In just over three months since its inception, a total of 2.25 billion yuan in donations have been made, with every penny accounted for. The largest charity project in the history of Hua Country, Qian Shenggen's Torch Project, was initiated by him. The initial phase of the project is expected to invest a total of 2 billion yuan, aiming to build over 1,000 Hope Primary Schools in major impoverished areas across the country.

The number of schools already completed has reached 121, with 451 Hope Primary Schools currently under construction in Celestial Province, Qian Province, and Yun Dian Province.

However, before this, when Gu Bai was being baselessly insulted and criticized, he still did not reveal any charitable news.

The Black Swan Charity Foundation has never raised a penny from the public, meaning that every cent of the foundation's charitable funds came from Gu Bai's company. If it weren't for the need to file with the relevant departments due to the enormous size of Qian Shenggen's Xinhuo Charity Project, everyone might still be kept in the dark by this 20-year-old young man.

Even when being interviewed by our program team, Gu Bai repeatedly instructed us not to make this matter bigger. He didn't mind being disturbed himself, but asked that the impoverished students working hard for their own futures, the future of their hometowns, and the future of their country not be disturbed!

Now, I ask, does such a young man qualify to become the top of the Top Ten Young Leaders of Hua Country in 2017?

The weight of the crown, he bore it! The honor he deserves, we shall also bestow upon him!"

"Next, please welcome, the 2017 Top Ten Young Leaders of Hua Country highest honor award recipient, to come on stage to receive the award!"

The hall erupted into thunderous applause once again.

Supported by the accompanying staff, Elder Xun and Elder Tu slowly stood up, looking at the stage with gratified expressions at Gu Bai, who faced the countless audience members both in the hall and in front of TVs without a trace of stage fright.

Neither humble nor arrogant, a youthful hero!

This was the thought that arose simultaneously in everyone's mind about Gu Bai at that moment.

Elder Xun and Elder Tu were the highest in status among the elder figures at this grand event tonight. Even the two elders had stood up, so no one dared to remain seated. Whether they were business moguls or senior leaders in the front row, they all stood up, smiling, and applauding.

Once group dynamics appeared, all 5,000-plus seats in the venue were filled with standing people. The live equipment recorded it all, and the streaming comments exploded on the screen.

"Wow! The male idol is so handsome, a role model for our generation! Just this outfit he is wearing tonight is enough to outshine numerous celebrities in fashion shows."

"I have a hunch that after tonight, the Chinese tunic suit will once again lead the new trend of fashion in Hua Country!"

"Hey! For those upstairs, are you sure your focus is correct? Is the discussion about clothes? Gu Bai donated 2.25 billion and 1,000 Hope Primary Schools, which is almost ten times the amount donated by Principal Gu to schools!"

Let's not say anything else, from now on, I'm a lifetime fan of Gu Bai. As long as it's a film or TV drama produced under the Black Swan, no matter its quality, I will definitely watch it! I may not have the ability to do charity, but I am willing to offer a trifling bit of support to the pioneer standing at the forefront of the charity industry!"

"Just a few days ago, I followed so many people to curse him, is it still possible to apologize now?"

Of course, not all were positive reviews; there were still some brainless comments.

"Haha, you guys are really interesting, fooled by a so-called charity donation. Do you know Gu Bai's total assets have reached 20 billion?"

Unless he can donate 20 billion outright, it just means he is putting on a show to clean up his image!"

Dean Zhang of Hu Shang Mental Hospital: "Sorry, I arrived late."

"Hurry up and drag them away."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Comments like this, once reported, would be deleted. CCTV's live broadcast backstage staff were all hands on deck, doing their utmost to delete these brainless remarks.

And while everyone was fervently discussing Gu Bai, Yan Shen, standing in front of Principal Jin Shulin, couldn't help but slightly open her mouth, looking shocked at the charming young man on the stage who was full of nobility yet so serene.

In the mountains where the signal was very poor, Yan Shen rarely went online, and the purpose of the phone was only for contacting the outside world.

Since she came to Kyoto in a rush, with too many things that needed preparation in advance, Yan Shen hadn't had time to connect with normal society.

That is to say, until the announcement by CCTV, Yan Shen only thought of Gu Bai as a rich kid with a little money, but until this moment, she realized that the Gu Bai before her was not just some rich second-generation kid with a little money, but a wealthy magnate who lavishly spent 2.25 billion on a charity cause!

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Bai's gaze on the stage also fell on Yan Shen. The chemistry of their looks collided amidst the presence of over 5,000 people at the grand venue.

The applause lasted for nearly a full minute.

It wasn't overly ceremonious; 2.25 billion in charitable funds truly shocked them.

In the history of Hua Country's charity, there has never been such a high amount of private donation.

Wherever Gu Bai's gaze reaches, all are bigwigs who will actively join the charity sector next year.

First is Xu Jiayin from Hengda. There was a report from a past life that accumulated donations amounted to 4 billion in 2018. He also returned to his hometown in Zhongyuan Province and donated 600 million for the local education sector, meaning Xu Jiayin's donations in 2018 totaled 5 billion!

But 5 billion is nothing compared to another charity giant.

He Hengjian, the founder of 'Midea,' donated a total of 10 billion in 2018, a number that can even crush the total net worth of many so-called top-tier billionaires!

Gu Bai wasn't sure if, due to his butterfly effect, Hua Country's charitable golden age next year would become even more fervent.

In 10 seconds, all the audience members below took their seats again as Gu Bai also stood at the center of the stage, with a smile unique to young people, slowly saying, "This is my first formal appearance; let me introduce myself. Hello everyone, my name is Gu Bai."

The gentle and magnetic voice wafted through the venue, amplified by the microphone.

Yet no one reacted to Gu Bai, and the whole place fell silent.

A youth barely 20, achieving success unattainable by most in a lifetime.

Relying solely on the last sentence of Hai Xia's speech: "The weight of the crown, he bore it! The honor he deserves, we shall also bestow upon him!"

At this moment, everyone will show him the utmost respect!"
