Chapter: 2621

Charlie Wade was surprised when He Zhiqiu mentioned she was in Syria. He had thought she was in the United States. Curious, he asked, “Why did you go there?”

He Zhiqiu explained, “I came with my college classmates to make a documentary about the war. We want to use it to start an anti-war charity fund.”

Charlie quickly responded, “If you’re interested in the charity, I can donate a sum of money to you. If we can work together long-term, I could donate $30 million to the fund all at once.”

He added, “Honestly, you, as a finance expert, shouldn’t be in Syria making war documentaries. Professionals should stick to what they know best. Documentaries should be made by specialized teams. People like you should focus on creating wealth and jobs for society.”

He Zhiqiu replied, “I understand your point, Mr. Ye. But the reality is that Syria is very dangerous. Even professional documentary teams often avoid going there, especially to the front lines.”

She continued, “We’ve seen how European and American documentary teams operate. They usually keep their distance from the front lines and often have a narrow perspective. They tend to be influenced by mainstream Western media, which often praises and glorifies war instead of showing its harsh realities.”

Charlie Wade wanted to help outsiders understand how cruel war can be. He believed it was hard for people living in peace to grasp the true meaning of being anti-war. He said to Miss He, “How about this? I can support your team with 20 million dollars to help you make your documentary. But, I have one request: you can’t stay in Syria anymore. The money will go to your team, but you need to come to Jinling to help me set up my ocean shipping business. What do you think?”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuanjiang, who was nearby, gave him a thumbs up and said, “That’s a smart move!”

Charlie smiled and replied, “It’s not about moving the tiger away from the mountain; it’s more like moving the lamb away from the wolf pack.”

At that moment, He Zhiqiu responded, “Leave my team? That’s impossible! We’ve promised each other that none of us will back out without permission.”

Charlie smiled again. “I’m not asking you to back out. I’m just giving your team a better choice.”

Then he changed the topic. “Miss He, how is life in Syria? Are you getting enough supplies, and is your safety guaranteed?”

He Zhiqiu answered, “It’s tough here because we’re in a war zone, and supplies are really limited. As for our safety, the government has sent a few soldiers to protect us, so overall, we’re still relatively safe.”

Hearing this, He Yuanjiang felt relieved.
