"Boss Song! We're counting on you! Stop keeping us in suspense!" Huang Yongfu looked ready to bow to Song Ning.
Song Ning smiled. "Since you've come all the way from Harbor City, Boss Huang, we can't let you leave empty-handed! You can't spend the money you set aside for television advertising anyway, so why not donate it?"
"W-what do you mean?" Manager Lu couldn't help asking first.
"I'm sure you saw it on your way here. Development on the mainland has only just begun, and conditions are still very difficult in most areas. You don't necessarily have to donate money. Televisions, radios, and other electronics produced by your factory would do, Boss Huang. Schools, libraries, nursing homes... I'm sure plenty of institutions desperately need them!"
Manager Lu still hadn't caught on, but Huang Yongfu had already grasped her meaning.
"Boss Song! You want me to do charity work to build my reputation, like those tycoons in Harbor City?"
"Yes and no!" Song Ning said. "Most Harbor City tycoons do charity work for their personal reputations. You're different. You're doing it for publicity! Besides, you can't just hold a press conference, donate some money, and call it a day like they do. I want you and Miss Chen Yawen to personally deliver the supplies to those who need them!

"You mean... we can invite reporters when we deliver the donations! Get some publicity along the way! If the newspapers report on it, that'll do wonders for brand recognition and our public profile!"
But Song Ning shook her head. "There's no need to go to all that trouble!
