Business Line
In the spacious, bright and modern conference room at the group's headquarters, the atmosphere was solemn and somewhat exciting. Although Jiang Ciyou had just recovered from a serious illness and her face was still a little pale, her eyes were full of determination and relief. She sat at one end of the conference table, and next to her was Lu Jingchen, who gave her silent support as always.
Around the conference table sat the core executives of the group, who were either concentrating on the documents in their hands or whispering their opinions, waiting for Jiang Ciyou to announce an important decision. Jiang Ciyou cleared his throat gently, and although his voice was a little weak, it echoed clearly in the conference room: "Ladies and gentlemen, after careful consideration, I am here to announce today that the group has officially established the 'Ciyou Scholarship'."
As soon as these words came out, there was a brief silence in the conference room, and then there was warm applause. Jiang Ciyou raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Over the years, we have come a long way and we know the power of knowledge to change destiny. Now that the group has achieved certain success, we must not forget to give back to society, especially those students who have dreams but are hindered by poverty. The 'Ciyou Scholarship' will be open to poor students around the world, providing them with financial support for studying medicine, hoping to cultivate more pillars in the medical field and let the light of health spread to every corner of the world."
The senior executives nodded in agreement and support. At this time, the director in charge of project planning stood up and introduced the specific plan of the scholarship in detail: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lu, we have initially planned to invest 50 million yuan every year for ten years. The first batch of scholarships will start accepting applications in three months. The selection process will be strict and fair, and will comprehensively consider students' academic performance, moral qualities, and enthusiasm for medicine. At the same time, we also plan to establish cooperative relationships with many well-known medical schools around the world to ensure that scholarship recipients can receive the best educational resources."
Jiang Ciyou listened carefully and added, "Very good. We must ensure that every penny is spent wisely. We will also set up a special supervision team to follow up on the learning progress of the scholarship recipients and provide them with necessary help and guidance. We will not only fund their schooling, but also help them grow into outstanding medical talents."
After the meeting, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen rushed to the donation ceremony of the "Ciyou Scholarship". It was a simple and warm hall, where celebrities, media reporters and representatives from the education sector gathered. When Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked into the venue hand in hand, the flash lights flashed instantly, like stars twinkling.
At the ceremony, Lu Jingchen spoke as a representative. He was dressed in a dark suit, with an upright posture and a handsome face that showed a bit of vicissitudes and wisdom. He walked onto the stage, glanced at the audience, and slowly spoke: "Today, standing here, my heart is full of emotion. Ciyou and I have come a long way, through ups and downs, and I know that success is not the result of personal achievement, but the help of countless people and the nourishment of society. The 'Ciyou Scholarship' carries our expectations for the future and our respect for life. At the same time, I have a more long-term plan to announce to everyone. We will set up a gene bank to specialize in the study of genetic factors in cancer."
There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was talking among themselves. Lu Jingchen raised his hand to signal for silence, and then said: "Cancer, this terrible disease, has brought us great pain, and Ciyou has also fought against it tenaciously. We know that conquering cancer requires not only breakthroughs in medical technology, but also a deep understanding of the cause of the disease. The establishment of a gene bank is to gather the world's top scientific research forces, explore the mystery of cancer from the root, and contribute our strength to the health and well-being of all mankind."
His words were powerful and the applause from the audience lasted for a long time. Jiang Ciyou stood in the audience, tears flashing in her eyes, looking at Lu Jingchen, her heart full of pride and emotion. At this moment, they were not only a legendary couple in business, but also warriors fighting for the future of mankind.
Family Line
In the courtyard of the old house full of ancient charm and warmth, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting fine shadows. Lu Zhixia led a group of African student delegations into the yard happily, and the children's laughter instantly broke the usual tranquility of the old house. They had different skin colors, but their eyes were full of innocence and curiosity, and they looked curiously at this building full of oriental charm all the way.
Jiang Ciyou had been waiting in the yard for a long time. When she saw the children, a warm smile appeared on her face. She was wearing a plain cheongsam, elegant and generous. Although the years had left some traces on her face, the kindness radiating from the inside out became more mellow. "Welcome, children!" she said in a gentle voice.
Lu Zhixia jumped to her mother's side, took her arm, and introduced them excitedly: "Mom, these are the friends I met when I was doing charity projects in Africa. They are amazing and are particularly interested in our Chinese culture. I wanted to bring them home to experience it."
Jiang Ciyou smiled and touched his daughter's head, then turned his gaze to the children: "Children, this is my home, and it is also your home. Take a look around, and if you have any questions, just ask."
The children nodded, their eyes full of excitement. One of the younger girls timidly stepped forward and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Auntie, your house is so beautiful, and these flowers painted on the cloth are so magical, how did you make them?" She pointed to the Suzhou embroidery works drying on the side, her eyes full of curiosity.
Jiang Ciyou smiled and took the girl's hand, led the children to the embroidery frame, picked up the needle and thread, and explained patiently: "This is our traditional Chinese embroidery, called Su embroidery, which has a history of thousands of years. You see, just use this small needle, thread different colored threads, and embroider on the cloth stitch by stitch, and you can embroider all kinds of beautiful patterns." As she spoke, she demonstrated skillfully, and after a few stitches, a lifelike little flower bloomed on the cloth.
The children watched intently, exclaiming in amazement from time to time. Lu Zhixia was also learning from the side. She picked up the needle and thread and tried to embroider a few stitches, but accidentally pricked her finger. "Ouch!" She screamed, causing the children to laugh.
Jiang Ciyou smiled as he treated his daughter's wound, and took the opportunity to teach her, "Zhixia, embroidery is not easy, it requires patience and carefulness, just like doing anything else, you can't rush for success. When you design clothes, you can also incorporate some embroidery elements to give traditional culture new vitality in modern fashion."
Lu Zhixia nodded thoughtfully, looking at the needle and thread in her mother's hand, and a feeling of respect surged in her heart. At this time, another boy asked: "Auntie, we heard that you and uncle have done a lot of things to help others. Can you tell us about it?"
Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded, gathered the children around her, sat on the stone bench in the yard, and slowly told the story of their entrepreneurship over the years, from the betrayal on the wedding night, to the struggle and counterattack, to the establishment of a charity foundation, each story made the children listen attentively. She said: "Children, there will always be difficulties in life, but as long as you have dreams and face them bravely, you will definitely be able to get out of the predicament and have the energy to help others. You are all the hope of the future. I hope you will study hard and bring changes to the world in the future."
There was a gleam in the children's eyes, and they all expressed their desire to be a person who contributes to society like Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen.
At the same time, in the vegetable garden of the old house, Lu Chengyan came home on vacation and was busy with his father Lu Jingchen. The vegetable garden was full of vitality, and the green vegetables were thriving in the sun. Lu Chengyan was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a strong posture and a youthful face.
The father and son wore straw hats and held hoes, turning the soil carefully. While working, Lu Jingchen imparted his experience to his son: "Chengyan, this kind of vegetable, like being a person, requires careful cultivation. You see, only when the soil is turned soft and enough fertilizer is applied, can the seeds thrive."
Lu Chengyan nodded and asked, "Dad, I heard that you and Mom are going to set up a gene bank to study cancer. Is this reliable? I also learned some biological knowledge in the military academy, and I know that cancer is difficult to conquer."
Lu Jingchen stopped what he was doing and looked at his son with determination in his eyes: "It's not easy, but it's precisely because it's difficult that we have to do it. Your mother has gone through the torture of cancer, and we don't want more people to suffer. Moreover, as long as everyone works together, I believe that one day we will find a way to conquer cancer."
Lu Chengyan was deeply touched. He bent down, picked up a seed, buried it in the soil, and said, "Dad, although I don't understand business, I know this is a great thing. I will work hard in the military academy, and if I can help in the future, I will do my best."
Lu Jingchen patted his son's shoulder with relief: "Good son, it's enough that you have this heart. As a family, no matter where we are or what we do, we are all working to make this world a better place."
The father and son smiled at each other and continued to work. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the vegetable garden, gilding this land full of hope. Jiang Ciyou brought Lu Zhixia and the African children to the vegetable garden, and saw this warm scene, and his heart was full of happiness. The family laughed and talked in the vegetable garden, sharing this ordinary and precious time, as if all the suffering had turned into the power to move forward, and in this love and responsibility passed down from generation to generation, they continued their legend.
