Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 654 Her Smiling Face

Emelie said softly, "I believe that there are many similar situations across the country. I wanted to ask Mr. Middleton if he would be interested in spearheading a project to fund the rebuilding of this school as a starting point, with the aim of targeting aid toward impoverished and remote elementary and secondary schools across the country."

At last, Charles understood her intention. "Ms. Pierce, are you proposing a charity?"

Emelie smiled faintly. "The Filo Group needs the Cedonia market, Mr. Middleton needs his reputation restored, and the children need benefactors. Isn't this a win-win situation for all parties involved?"

The Filo Group's ambition to enter the Cedonia market would require a gesture of goodwill, and there was no better way to win favor than through charity.

After all the talk, Emelie's real aim was to secure a foothold that would later facilitate profitable ventures. It was often said, however, that noble deeds were judged by what they achieved, not by how they came about. Regardless of her intentions, this initiative would indeed benefit those in need.

Emelie went on to say, "Filo Group is a foreign enterprise. If we could partner with a company based in Cedonia, it would make things much easier."

Charles lowered his head and gave the idea some careful thought.

Investing in charity was almost a mandatory annual KPI for any business.

Not only was it a legal way of claiming tax deductions, but it was also good public relations. It could lead to accolades such as the Cedonia Charity Award or recognition as a philanthropic company.

The Davis Group already donated a substantial amount to such initiatives each year. So, why shouldn't they invest in this cause?
