Animals with Emotions

I was once again stunned, completely dumbfounded. I couldn't quite understand this Seraphina Bloom.

While I was still in a daze, Seraphina Bloom continued, "If you agree, I'll give you a deposit now. We can discuss the details when you return to the city."

I chuckled and said, "You know about my situation. Are you daring to use my plan?"

"Why wouldn't I use it? I want to use it, and no one can stop me."

I liked this personality.

I had been waiting for this day for a long time, hoping that someone would be willing to use my plan. However, I hadn't found that person until now. Seraphina Bloom seemed like a savior descending from the heavens, rescuing me from the abyss.

But I still had some doubts and asked her, "Are you sure? You're not joking with me, right?"

"No, I'm not. Name your price! How much for this plan?"

I was already familiar with these processes, so I directly said, "If you're serious, I'll gladly do it for you. What I mentioned last time was just a small part of it."

Before I could finish, Seraphina Bloom forcefully interrupted me, "Just tell me the price."

"The market price is 300,000, but I can offer you an 20% discount for the maintenance and program management fees for the first year. So, 250,000. Keep in mind that this is the basic package, and additional services will increase the cost accordingly."

Seraphina Bloom seemed not to think much and said straightforwardly, "Good, I'll take it. I'll transfer 50,000 to your account right now as a token. We can discuss the details when you come back."

"Do you really trust me like this? Aren't you afraid I might run away with the money?"

"Do you think you can escape?"

I chuckled. I really liked Seraphina Bloom's personality; she was straightforward and decisive.

I asked her, "Do you have my account number?"

"I even have your phone number. The card number ends with 7743, right? It's your Agricultural Bank card."

I was surprised; she indeed knew.

But considering she was a developer from our side, she naturally had the information for every family.

I had to admit, "Yes, go ahead! I'll come to your hotel to meet you when I return."

"Alright."

As I was about to hang up, I stopped her and asked, "By the way, you said you don't plan to demolish our house and have other plans. What does that mean?"

"We'll discuss that when you come back. It's something I want to negotiate with you."

"Okay! Since you trust me, I trust you too."

After hanging up, my mood suddenly improved. It wasn't because Seraphina Bloom had other plans for my house, but because she was willing to accept my software program.

This was the good news I had been waiting for over a year. I, Alex Phoenix, could finally return to my old profession.

At that moment, I felt like crying.

After two minutes, I received a bank transfer message on my phone, exactly 50,000.

Old Village Chief had treated my family well in the past. When I was a child, I fell into the river while playing, and it was the Old Village Chief who saved me.

He was my lifesaver, and he had given me my life.

Now that the Old Village Chief was facing such a serious situation, and his son couldn't be relied upon, I couldn't just stand by.

Luckily, Seraphina Bloom transferred 50,000 to me just now, and without any hesitation, I donated the entire amount. Maybe some people would say I was foolish to donate all of it when I was already so poor, but they weren't me. They hadn't experienced what I had, and they didn't know how important the Old Village Chief was to me.

He was like a second father to me, and even my successful enrollment in college was because the Old Village Chief always let me read many books, books that were only available in the city at that time.

So, I didn't hesitate at all about the 50,000.

Humans are considered advanced animals because of emotions.

The donation event that lasted for an hour finally ended. The Village Chief announced that the fundraising activity for the Old Village Chief was very successful, raising a total of 124,000.

This number was quite high, considering our village didn't have many people. Obviously, some individuals donated more than others.

After a round of applause, the Village Chief announced, "Now, let me announce the list. There are 43 people who donated over a thousand yuan, and two people donated over ten thousand. Of course, the donation amounts vary, but it's all our love for the Old Village Chief."

Applause erupted again, and the atmosphere became lively. People were eager to hear the names of those who donated over a thousand yuan because having their names announced was a source of pride for many.

The Village Chief quickly read out the names of those who donated over a thousand, naturally excluding mine.

At this point, San Jie started talking next to me, disdainfully saying, "Alex Phoenix, aren't you supposed to be capable? Are you just donating a few dozen yuan? Have you become a turtle hiding in your shell now that the Old Village Chief is in trouble?"

I smiled and didn't respond.

Another villager beside me chimed in, "Exactly, everyone knows that the Old Village Chief treated you well in the past. Now that he's in trouble, you're hiding like a turtle!"

Even Big Uncle lamented, "I'd say people should have a conscience. Otherwise, they'll be condemned by heaven. No wonder you went bankrupt."

Big Uncle's wife sighed as well, shaking her head, "Forget it! Alex Phoenix is no longer a big boss now. From what I see, he probably only donated a few bucks."

Laughter echoed around me, making me feel very embarrassed.

Finally, the Village Chief started announcing those who donated over ten thousand.

"We thank our village factory manager, who donated 30,000."

Applause thundered, as he was the only one in our village who owned a factory, located in the county town, producing accessories.

He was a good person, not usually seeking the limelight. However, whenever there was a village event, he would rush back to participate.

Everyone respected him, thinking that he deserved to become wealthy.

The factory manager didn't make a speech; he simply wished the Old Village Chief a speedy recovery.

For this kind of charity event, it wasn't suitable to make a speech.

After announcing the factory manager's name, everyone started whispering, wondering who the oher person was who donated so much money.

They were curious, as they thought the factory manager was the wealthiest person in the village.

Everyone was eager to know the name of the last person who donated five thousand.
