his pledge of donating to the UN World Food Programme.　　

If anyone had suspected Zhang Zian of donation fraud, they should have no doubts anymore.

As soon as they thought of it, everybody started looking at the female reporter with contempt.
Clearly, she was measuring Zhang Zian with her own yard-stick.
It was good to question fraudulent donors, but if by doing so an authentic donor ’s feelings were hurt, then that was not okay!

The most embarrassed one was the reporter herself.
Had it been someone else, they surely would have run away in shame.
She was so brazen, however, that she took advantage of the moment asked Eddy in English, ”Hello, Mr.
Lewis.
I ’m a reporter for Global Entertainment.
May I ask you a few questions regarding Mr.
Zhang Zian ’s donation to your foundation? ”　　

The crowd started swearing.
How could someone be so shameless?　　

Unfortunately, Eddy didn ’t understand Chinese.
The name ”Global Entertainment ” sounded very legitimate.
He thought that she was a reporter from a top Chinese medium.
Therefore, he didn ’t want to treat her lightly.
He nodded like a gentleman and said, ”Yes.
Please go ahead. ”　　

Zhang Zian wanted to stop her, but since Eddy had said yes, there was nothing more he could do.　　

The female reporter handed over the microphone.
”Could you please tell us the details of Mr.
Zhang Zian ’s donation to your foundation? We are very curious, as it ’s the first time that we are hearing about this. ”　　

”Of course.
I ’d be glad to help. ” Eddy recollected with a smile, ”I remember it so clearly that I won ’t forget it for the rest of my life.
It was a day during the Chinese Lunar New Year.
It was raining in San Francisco and I was on duty in the donation office that day.
Suddenly, I received a strange phone call. ”

He glanced at Zhang Zian.
”The caller claimed to be Katherine Donna Ryan, and wanted to make a donation to our foundation––you may not know this, but Ms.
Ryan had made large donations to our foundation in the past, so I remember her voice.
Strangely, after doing a search, I found out that Ms.
Ryan had already passed away.
Her last donation came from Mr.
Adams, the lawyer and executioner of her will. ”　　

Eddy ’s story drew everybody ’s attention.
They held their breath and listened quietly.　　

”This phone call came from Binhai City, China.
Ms.
Ryan claimed that she was not dead, that the doctor had issued a death certificate by mistake, and she was traveling in China at that time.
I believed her at that moment, and processed her donation.
But after hanging up, I found it suspicious.
After a series of not so complicated investigations, and after talking to her lawyer, Mr.
Adams, I had figured out the truth: It was Mr.
Zhang Zian who made a generous donation to our foundation under the name of Ms.
Ryan.　

There was more than one donation like this.
The volunteers at the foundation were very moved, but we acted as if we didn ’t know about it.
Apart from volunteering at the foundation, I have another official job.
Now, as I ’m attending a work conference in China, I decided to visit Binhai City along the way.
On behalf of my colleagues at the foundation, we express our sincere gratitude to Mr.
Zhang Zian and Ms.
Ryan!　　

And… ” As he spoke, he took out a bouquet of yellow daisies behind his back like a magic trick.
”Please allow me to dedicate these flowers to Ms.
Ryan. ”　　

Bright yellow daisies were not as gorgeous as golden tulips; yet, they had their own spirit of elegance and tranquility, like an old lady who had been through the hills and valleys of life.　　

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zian lifted his hands to hint to the employees inside.
”Please come in.
Ms.
Kathy is inside. ”　　

Without being told to do so, the crowd split on its own, making a path that led into the shop.
