I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 278 Actually, I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile



```

"6666! I was wondering who had such capability! Turns out it's President Zhang, then it's just a basic move for him, everyone please take a seat quickly!"

"Wow, throwing 500 million on a fireworks show, I'm impressed!"

"President Zhang spends 500 million as if it's 5 bucks, who's still bickering? It's his own hard-earned money; he can spend it however he wants, is it any of your business?"

"Exactly, trying to morally kidnap him, right? If you're so wealthy, why haven't I seen you donating?"

Zhang Menglong's fans promptly stood up to defend him.

"Ah, not sure if it's society deteriorating, but nowadays people idolize money, and it's truly sad!"

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Young people today can hardly understand this, preferring to spend hundreds of millions on flashy but frivolous things rather than contributing to the country and the people!"

"After all, he's a capitalist, where can one expect such nobility from them?"

One after another, marketing accounts sprang up like mushrooms after the rain, not caring what they say. They were only concerned about whether they could catch the heat, gain traffic, and monetize. As for anything else, that was unimportant.

But their words were quite inflammatory. Someone spending a few million on fireworks might not have drawn much attention.

But this is a whopping 500 million! For 99% of people in this world, that number is astronomical. Maybe some could understand a millionaire throwing out a few million, but they can't believe what kind of person could casually drop 500 million.

In their eyes, if one could do this, then they must take on more social responsibility!

Soon, the buzz over the 500-million-worth fireworks show even surpassed this year's Spring Festival Gala.

"Menglong, you alright?" Chen Qiuyi and Xing Zhe looked worryingly at Zhang Menglong. The intensity of online violence had reached a pervasive level, and they feared that Zhang Menglong would be affected by this incident.

In fact, this matter wasn't that big a deal to them, but since Zhang Menglong said that this fireworks show was also in celebration of their relationship, they couldn't help but associate this event with themselves.

"Those marketing accounts are really good at riding the trend!" Zhang Menglong sipped his bubble tea, gazing at the fireworks continuously blooming in the sky, his face showing no signs of worry.

"Envy of the rich, I understand," Zhang Menglong said with a sneer. For most people, seeing someone worse off than themselves elicits sympathy, but seeing someone better off almost always brings about envy or resentment; such is a common trait of human nature.

"I didn't want to make such a high profile, but since they forced me, I had no choice," Zhang Menglong shook his head and started operating on his phone.

"What are you doing?" The others watched curiously as Zhang Menglong busied himself on his device.

"Nothing much, just about to slap them each with a reality check!" Zhang Menglong said with a laugh.

"Firstly, regarding the pollution issue you all mentioned, this is the custom order for this batch of fireworks!" Zhang Menglong posted several screenshots on Weibo.

Zhang Menglong's batch of fireworks was indeed "Huaxia Jade", but the craftsmanship of this batch was different; it wasn't made from the conventional gunpowder and sulfur, but from a sulfur-free pyrotechnic material.

"Sulfur-free pyrotechnic material? What's that about?"

"I think I've heard of this, it's the material used for making pollution-free fireworks."

"There's such a thing? So, you're saying these several hundred tons of fireworks won't cause any pollution?"

"You can't say it like that, nothing in the world is absolute, but the pollution they cause is at most equivalent to a few dozen kilograms of harmful substances produced by burning ordinary flames. On New Year's Eve, doesn't the amount of fireworks far exceed a few dozen kilograms?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Typical President Zhang, I bet he saw this coming from a mile away!"

"Guys, I'm splitting open here. Check out the price of this material!"

"Ten times! The cost of this sulfur-free pyrotechnic material is ten times that of ordinary pyrotechnic materials?"

"Damn! So, you're saying the price of this batch of 'Huaxia Jade' isn't just 500 million? It's freaking 5 billion?"

"Hahaha, damn! Ruthless!"

"How many magnates in Huaxia even have 5 billion in cash assets? Can I get a like for this?"

"Hello everyone, I'm Bill Gates, and I've fainted in the bathroom."

"Hello everyone, I'm Ma Hua, now begging on the streets!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Ma Yun, and I feel like a complete fool!"

"Keep nagging about environmental pollution now, talk about a slap in the face, huh?"

"Just now, President Zhang said, 'Firstly,'" which means there must be other news about to be revealed!"

"Sitting tight!" Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

The onlookers held their breaths in anticipation, furiously refreshing Weibo, eager for more drama.

But before they could hear further from Zhang Menglong, news from the Jiangnan Historical Relics Museum broke.

Jiangnan City Historical Relics Museum: I just saw someone saying that Mr. Zhang spent 500 million to set off fireworks but doesn't contribute to society. What I want to say is, you don't know shit about what Mr. Zhang does!

Subsequently, the museum posted about the nearly ten national treasures Zhang Menglong had brought back from the auction.

"Is that the legendary Imperial Jade Seal?"

"My God, hasn't that been lost for hundreds of years? It's reappeared? Did President Zhang find it?"

"I remember experts saying that it's priceless. Even a few ten billion Huaxia currency wouldn't be too much to ask for it!"

"And this is Emperor Qianlong's personal sword, another treasure missing for over a hundred years!"

"The Lanting Preface! That's the fucking Lanting Preface!"

"The last beast head!"

"My God, the combined value of these items must exceed ten billion Huaxia currency, right?"

"More than that! Even in US dollars, it wouldn't be an overestimation! These are national treasures, truly priceless!"

"Did Mr. Zhang gather all these from abroad?"

"It is said that the new building of the Jiangnan City Historical Museum was funded by Mr. Zhang!"

However, the shock of the revelation had not yet subsided.

The Huaxia Red Cross official Weibo posted a donation slip from Zhang Menglong for 2 billion Huaxia currency.

The Huaxia Association for the Protection of the Disabled showed a donation slip from Zhang Menglong for 2 billion Huaxia currency.

The Huaxia Children's Welfare Association posted a donation slip from Zhang Menglong for 2 billion.

...

"20 billion donated to each of the top ten philanthropic organizations?"

"Those who were being sarcastic just now, come out and get smacked!"

"Respect, respect. Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

"President Zhang totally won this battle!"

"The haters wanted to tarnish President Zhang's reputation, but he doesn't reason with you, he just talks money. How frustrated must you be?"

...

"When did you do all this?" Lu Yiyao asked Zhang Menglong.

"The day before I returned to Dongji City," Zhang Menglong said. When he learned that he had a monthly donation quota of 10 billion US dollars, he immediately made a donation to the largest Huaxia organizations.

He had intended to be a low-profile individual, but since he was forced to disclose everything, he couldn't help it.

"Ah!" Just then, cries of alarm suddenly came from not far away, immediately drawing the attention of many.

"What's going on?" Zhang Menglong was taken aback. In that direction, there was a cloud of dust, with dozens of people lying on the ground wailing, and even the occasional glimmer of fire could be seen.

"The fireworks exploded! Help! Call 120 quickly!"

"Help! Quick, save us!"
