《I'm In Charge of SCP》Chapter 47 “Double Jade Foundation”
Advertisement
Noticing Zhang Jue's nod, President Bai was relieved, and everyone began to cheer. Zhang Jue agreed to donate. So, the main problem is halfway there, but it wasn't over yet. Donations can be made, but the amount was also a problem.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lei Shan again. He smiled faintly and said to Miss Cheng, "Excuse me, can you help me tally up how much those colleagues just donated in total?"
Miss Cheng froze and only after President Bai coughed lightly put her back to her senses "Just a moment, I'll count it right away."
The scene's atmosphere was again tense, and everyone was guessing how much Lei Shan wanted to donate.
Three minutes later, Miss Cheng returned and said, "Well, just now, the alumni just donated a total of 2.335 million yuan."
"Okay, thank you." Lei Shan said politely, and then he wrote down 233.5 units in the fundraising book. The unit was valued at ten thousand yuan.
"Wow..."
After Lei Shan finished writing it, the room resounded with loud applause. In the absence of a disaster or epidemic, the Sirui Group donated more than two million yuan to Jiangzhou University at once, which was already quite a good result.
President Bai breathed a sigh of relief to finally give an account with the whole university's teachers and students.
"Wait a minute!" Just at this moment, Zhang Jue's voice rang out.
The entire audience's attention was once again drawn to him. Yang Xue wanted to pull his hand, but she was too late. He took a big step towards Miss Cheng and took the fundraising book that Lei Shan had just handed over to her - to be precise, he snatched it.
He looked at Lei Shan and pointed his finger to the column of the donation amount.
"Mr. Lei, don't you think you made a mistake?"
No one knew what he wanted to do, and no one dared to interrupt him either. But judging from his reaction, it didn't seem to be good news. Did he think he had donated too much and wanted to retract the donation?
Among the scene, only Lei Shan probably guessed what Zhang Jue was thinking.

"Oh, it's not a mistake." Zhang Jue took his finger away, "So I was the one who misread it. I mistakenly thought it was a fly on the book, shame shame shame."
Zhang Jue gave the fundraising book back to Miss Cheng again. Then he quickly walked off the stage, took Yang Xue's hand, and headed out. He was so fast that he left the hotel lobby in three steps and disappeared from the sight of the crowd.
That hasty look, as if he had eaten an expensive dinner without paying. The people there were all stunned, completely confused about what he was up to. When everyone was surprised about Zhang Jue's odd behavior, Miss Cheng was suddenly called by President Bai.
President Bai frowned, thinking that the hotel was too unreliable. But when he turned back around, he was equally stunned by sight before him.
"President Bai, what happened?" Vice President Zhang followed his gaze and turned into the same state.
When each guest's presents discovered the discrepancy, they dropped their jaws in shock. It turned out that after the fundraising book had passed through Zhang Jue's hands, a point had been erased - yes, a decimal point.
The original donation amount was 2.335 million, which instantly turned into 23.35 million. A whole tenfold increase. The fundraising book is not just a number, it's real money, and it can't be filled in carelessly.
The hilarity was too big for them to hold. No wonder he had to run away.
President Bai laughed a few times awkwardly and said to Lei Shan, "Advisor Zhang is really good at jokes."
"No." Lei Shan shook his head, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor from the beginning to the end.
"Since the amount was changed by Mr. Zhang Jue, it is considered that I agreed to it, and it will remain so." Hearing Lei Shan say this, all the people present boiled over.
A donation of twenty million dollars, what kind of notion is that Zhang Jue had changed it just like that?
And did Lei Shan really agree to it?
Don't they think that this is too much?
Several representatives of the poor students cried tears of joy and hugged each other.

When the crowd finished cheering, Lei Shan continued, "I can donate some of my money, but I have a small condition. I hope President Bai can agree."
When he heard that Lei Shan agreed to donate, President Bai's eyes shone. Let alone a small condition, even if he were asked to do strip dance, he would be obliged to do so.
However, after all. Lei Shan was not Zhang Jue and could not think of such a damaging trick.
He slowly said, "The total donation is 23.35 million yuan. The Sirui Group still only counted 2.335 million. The remaining 21.015 million yuan was in the name of Mr. Zhang Jue's personal donations to Jiangzhou University, and set up a special foundation to help those poor students with good character."
What Lei Shan proposed was not a request at all, and President Bai immediately nodded, "This is no problem at all. So, Mr. Lei, what is the name of this foundation? What should we call it?"
Lei Shan thought about it, "Let's call it the 'Double Jade Foundation.'"
After a simple conversation, the matter was completely settled. In a short time, it was believed that Zhang Jue's name would leave a strong and colorful mark in the history of Jiangzhou University.
----
The Founder of the Double Jade Foundation, Zhang Jue, was pulling Yang Xue's hand wildly. During this time, he turned back several times to make sure no one was coming after them before stopping at a milk tea store entrance.
Yang Xue could not catch her breath, "What are you running for?"
Zhang Jue's stamina was much better than Yang Xue's, and he was still looking behind him, afraid that someone would come after him.
"If I don't run, I'm going to be haunted by a debt of ten million, and when people hold me back, you won't even have time to cry." Yang Xue was unsure, and Zhang Jue confirmed that it was safe before he said what he had just done.
Yang Xue shook her head, "You're the one who fooled around with so much money. I want to see how'd you end up."
"What do you know." Zhang Jue laughed, "That Lei Shan person will admit to the debt. A gentleman like him is the best to make a deal with."
"Yes, and you are the hardest to deal with." Yang Xue said helplessly.
"Good to know." Zhang Jue nodded smugly, then pointed to the milk tea store next to him, "I ate too quickly just now and almost choked myself. Could you buy me a cup of milk tea?"
Yang Xue said, "Normally, shouldn't a boy treat a girl for a drink?"
"I don't have any money." Zhang Jue justified.
Just when the two of them were getting pretentious about who was buying the milk tea, the cafe across the street, two indiscernible people were looking down at them from the window.
The young man in the white suit took a sip of his coffee naturally.
"Is he Zhang Jue?"
His servant answered, "Yes, according to the information returned by Viper, he was the one who ruined our plan."
"Quite an interesting man." The young man smiled.
"Shall I inform Lark?"
"No need." The young man interrupted. "Since he was able to survive Mr. Samuel's self-destruction, it proves that ordinary anti-personnel weapons are useless against him and if you ask Lark to snipe him. Not only will it be just a waste of bullets, but you will also cause them to be alerted."
The servant frowned and said, "Then what are we going to do? Let him go?"
"Of course not." The man in the white suit let out a creepy cold laugh, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
"People who go against us shouldn't be forgiven, and we must not also let him die in a good death. But against this kind of difficult people, the first task is to figure out what their ability is, and then... put the bullet on their head!"

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
8 521No Strings Attached [Rewritten]
Warning Just so you know, you better be paying attention to the chapter title or else it's going to be like travelling across multiverses. Explanation Due to a single comment made by a wonderful person, or some douchebag in real life, I have decided to create two seperate stories. A rewritten version, and the original version. The rewritten version will somewhat follow the original storyline of the original version, but will have extra content, extra side stories of course rewritten personalities. The original one will be like a rough draft of where I want the story to go. Like for instance, the original story is like the first Link from 'Legend of Zelda', choppy but fun to read. The rewritten story is the Link from any game during and after Windwaker, smooth and somewhat follows the main premise. Overall both are going to be probably terribly done but hey, I'm creating a furture and past story so what should you expect. - Styx Whatever just put up the revised description. - Ariel Edited Summary Jay W. Blu, a dashing and charming rich boy who's been spoiled his whole life. He is very cocky, has a case of egomania and isn't exactly what you call a 'Relatable Main character', unless you somehow fit one of these descriptions and then relate all you want. He had everything you would probably want if you weren't pessimistic, realistic, or chronically depressed. But as most reincarnation/summoning stories go, he get's himself killed at whatever age he was and is sent to another world. Normally, he would be summoned as something you would call a hero, but since that's to cliche by my standards he is something else. Instead of being the hero of the people that he was told about by a friend, he instead summoned as the anti-hero aka, 'The Hero of Demons'. Now he must traverse the lands slaying opposing heroes as he tries to keep his mind straight, although it's to late. There will be weird people along the journey like a fangirling war general, a hive mind and a manly magical girl? Oh well, Jay is too pure to see love anyways.
