The next day, Yang Bufan received an invitation to the charity dinner.

Because Yang Bufan specially requested, four tickets for the dinner were mailed in, and Yang Bufan, Xia Wenwen and Wu Yuanzhang would definitely participate.

As for who Wu Yuanzhang's female companion was, Yang Bufan didn't care at all, anyway, it was impossible for Xiao Wu to go by himself.

Xia Wenwen still attaches great importance to this dinner, and even took a day out of various busy management work to urgently order a suit for Yang Bufan, and she also ordered a set of matching gifts, and by the way, even Wu Yuanzhang and his female companion's clothes were also ordered.

Yang Bufan is used to being the shopkeeper, and he doesn't care about what he needs to wear that day.

In his thoughts, isn't the charity dinner just about charity, isn't it about donations, and if you are too good at donations, donate and it's over!

Do you care what you wear when you donate?

As long as you dress appropriately and politely, you can say that you have many sets of various suits, and I feel that there is no need to order it at all, and you have to order it urgently.

Isn't that a bit of a fuss!

However, although Yang Bufan thought so in his heart, he thought that Xia Wenwen was usually very tired and busy, and now ordering a set of clothes was like going out to let off steam, so he didn't say anything.

However, it turned out that Mr. Yang, who was lovely this time, was too naïve and completely underestimated the scale of this dinner.

Weekend.

The company's Audi A6L was full of people.

The driver was Wu Yuanzhang, and Yang Bufan and Xia Wenwen sat in the back, everyone talked and laughed along the way, and it felt like they were going on an outing.

But the woman in the passenger seat was a little cramped, and she wanted to interject a few words but was not too embarrassed.

That's right, the woman sitting in the co-pilot seat is Chen Li, who Wu Yuanzhang has been chasing.

Chen Li was just an ordinary inspector when she first joined the company, but after taking many ability exams, she stood out, and now she is a veteran employee of the Automotive Research Institute, and even set up her own project team to specialize in the research of new materials.

Before Wu Yuanzhang took over the Xingbang Charity Foundation, if it was not in his office, then it must be in Chen Li's office.

Most people are actually not optimistic about Wu Yuanzhang's pursuit of Chen Li, a goddess + female scholar, but there is a saying that "good women are afraid of men", and when they meet Wu Yuanzhang, who is dead begging for nothing and stalking Wu Yuanzhang, Chen Li actually loosened up.

This time, Wu Yuanzhang was able to ask Chen Li out, which really impressed Yang Bufan.

Xia Wenwen saw Chen Li's embarrassment, and deliberately said without words: "Chen Li, the dress I ordered for you still fits, right? ”

Chen Li heard Xia Wenwen take the initiative to speak to her, and quickly replied: "Mr. Xia, it's very good, it's very suitable." ”

Xia Wenwen smiled slightly, ready to help Wu Yuanzhang: "It must fit, Xiao Wu told me when he knew about this matter, the female companion is you, so I will order it according to your figure." ”

Hearing this, Chen Liqiao's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say.

Wu Yuanzhang, who was driving, looked proud: "The main thing is that Ali has a good figure and the clothes rack is the same!"

Xia Wenwen pursed his lips, feeling that Xiao Wu was really floating.

Yang Bufan got some key information from everyone's conversation.

Like what...... Walk the red carpet.

"Wenwen, Xiao Wu, let's still walk the red carpet? Isn't it a film festival or something? What kind of red carpet are we going to do charity, isn't it just a meal, and then everyone will have a donation ceremony, and then there will be a charity auction?

Wu Yuanzhang, who was driving, also snorted coldly, and then sneered: "To be honest, I don't understand this model anymore, you said that this dinner is in a five-star hotel, venue fees, catering fees, wine fees, service fees, I heard that there are star performances, then there are stage fees, lighting and stage costs or something, I feel that tens of millions are spent directly, there is so much money, is it not good to donate directly?"

Xia Wenwen heard the same words as Yang Bufan and Wu Yuanzhang, and explained speechlessly: "The organizer of this time is first of all a fashion magazine, followed by a rehabilitation center for the disabled, although the money is to be donated to the rehabilitation center for the disabled, but the real organizer is this fashion magazine, the fashion industry and the entertainment industry are not separated, and walking the red carpet is a daily operation." And this method is also beneficial, which can increase social influence and expand the promotion of philanthropic ideas. ”

Yang Bufan frowned, and suddenly asked, "Who are the main people attending the dinner today?"

Xia Wenwen directly took out a memo from the dinner party at this time and replied: "Most of them are in the entertainment industry, including movie stars, TV stars, traffic stars and sports stars, as well as Internet celebrities, the leading Hua Dan and Xiaohua of several film and television companies are here, and many beautiful male gods in the prosperous world are also here......"

Hearing this, Yang Bufan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Are they all celebrities? Now celebrities are generally starting to engage in charity?"

Xia Wenwen shook his head directly and said: "Of course not, this is specially invited by the organizer, just to increase the attention of this charity dinner, many celebrities are not only here for charity, some need to contact the bigwigs in the fashion industry, some want to know which director and screenwriter or something, some want to accept endorsements, and some come to the red carpet to increase popularity and establish their own positive personality." ”

Yang Bufan was a little impatient when he heard this.

At present, there are too few people and organizations that can really do charity, and many public welfare organizations say how much money they have raised, but how much of the money raised is donated to remote mountainous areas or poor people, which is not transparent at all.

And more and more charity activities are becoming more and more pure, and celebrities from all walks of life have made good charity into Vanity Fair.

Although this is the power of capital, it is deliberately done to attract attention, but it will make people feel inexplicably disgusted.

Yang Bufan really doesn't want a good charity event to become a so-called star or fashion occasion, this is putting the cart before the horse.

When Wu Yuanzhang heard this, he chattered unhappily: "Some celebrities are here to rub the heat, and even don't donate a penny, you say that these people are also big stars, it's not that we force people to donate, if you don't donate, you don't have love or something, but if you participate in the charity dinner, you have to donate as much as you want, this is not the most basic!"

At this time, Chen Li, who had not spoken much, even accosted: "From the perspective of charity output, the benefits of doing this are not high, and the benefits are not obtained by donors, but by the organizers and capitalists, as well as celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life who participated in the charity dinner." In fact, major charities should really disclose their donation records, at least to ensure that the records can be checked, don't be like a welfare lottery, and the whereabouts of tens of billions of welfare funds every year are mysterious. ”

Of course, Xia Wenwen understood the thoughts of Yang Bufan and Wu Yuanzhang, two straight men, but at this time, even Chen Li said so, and she had nothing to say.

In fact, she saw very clearly that this kind of charity dinner was a vanity fair that met the purposes of various people.

Some people want a good reputation, some people want topics, and some people want to broaden their network, and the list goes on.

People like Yang Bufan, who are simple-minded to donate money, are probably outliers.

But this is the reality, it's useless to criticize, even ordinary netizens and melon-eating people like to watch the plot of Hua Dan competing for beauty and even tearing each other, how many ordinary people will pay attention to how much money was donated to this dinner?

Maybe, but it must be fans of some celebrities, who will always show various donation records of their idols to prove how loving their idols are.

To tell the truth, even if Yang Bufan donates more money, there will not be too many people who pay attention.

"Okay, you just see this dinner as an opportunity to promote our Xingbang Group. Especially Xiao Wu, you usually do a lot of charity, but many netizens say that you are making a small fuss, and this time it is also a good name, and we are also giving love with real money. ”

Wu Yuanzhang sighed, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

While a few people were talking, they had arrived at a five-star hotel in the downtown area of Yicheng.

At this time, a red carpet has been laid out at the hotel's car stop, and this elegant red carpet has been rolled directly from the parking place to the hotel activity hall, with protection on both sides, and many security personnel are dutifully maintaining the order of the scene.

On both sides of the red carpet, there are all kinds of long guns and short guns, as well as a large number of celebrity fans, whenever a star gets out of the car and walks on the red carpet, all kinds of flashes click wildly, and many people hold their mobile phones to record the whole process.

Whenever a star walks on the red carpet, he will get a lot of cheers and screams from fans, and even crazy fans rush past the security personnel and pounce directly.

The scene is both warm and chaotic, and inexplicably gives people a high-end sense of ceremony.

But at this time, Wu Yuanzhang was a little depressed, because it was the first time for everyone to participate in this kind of red carpet activity, and they really didn't understand many things.

Now there are a lot of cars in front of them, and then one car after another enters the venue, people from all walks of life and entertainment stars get out of the car to accept the cheers and walk the red carpet, and then the driver is going to drive the car away.

Then the problem comes, it is Wu Yuanzhang driving today, if he goes in directly according to Yang Bufan's intentions, then no one will drive the car, which is quite embarrassing.

Wu Yuanzhang saw that the cars in front of him were operated like this, and directly decided: "Brother Fanfan, I see that everyone has a driver, but I have no experience and drive the car myself." Otherwise, brother, you take Sister Wenwen and Ali and me in, I'll park the car and go in through the side door, anyway, we're not celebrities, there's no need to walk this red carpet. ”

Who knew that Yang Bufan didn't think so, and objected: "That's not good, you are now the charity ambassador of the Xingbang Charity Foundation, you usually do charity work, and the number of fans on various short video platforms and Weibo is also millions, and you are also an Internet celebrity, why can't you leave this red carpet." Go straight and let the hotel staff go to park. ”

Wu Yuanzhang was quite happy when he heard this, he was happy not because of the millions of followers he had, but because of Yang Bufan's recognition.

"Okay, let's go together, haha! Ali, do you say that you have that feeling today, Brother Bufan and Sister Wenwen are like weddings, and we are the best men and bridesmaids?"

Chen Li's face was a little red, because this topic was a bit ambiguous, why was it the best man and bridesmaid.

However, Xia Wenwen was very happy to hear this, and praised Xiao Wu for becoming more and more able to speak.

The four of them chatted and waited, and waited for a full fifteen minutes before it was finally their turn.

Just after they got out of the car, they saw a young fresh meat actor and a popular actress in front of them taking a wild shot on the red carpet.

It's as if they're not walking the red carpet, but making fashion blockbusters, and they won't stop if they don't take dozens of photos.

Everyone can see very clearly that they have been filming on the red carpet for several minutes, and the red carpet of just a few tens of meters has become a marathon.

Wu Yuanzhang was the first to be upset.

"Who are these two, are they very hot?"

Chen Li, a female academic bully, usually doesn't even watch TV series, so of course she can't answer this question.

Xia Wenwen knew a lot of stars in the past, but since she took over the daily management of Xingbang Group, it has been almost half a year, and she hasn't even watched a movie.

At this time, Yang Bufan revealed a knowledge reserve far beyond a few people, and he usually fished less.

"That male star is called Yu Zixun, he is a popular fresh meat, and many female hooligans lick the screen every day and call her husband. The female star is called Zhang Xiaoxi, she is a little worse, she is considered a fourth-tier level, she is a second female or a third woman in various film and television dramas, or a model. The two of them have recently participated in various variety shows, and they are constantly increasing their popularity. ”

Several people in the car felt a sense of disobedience, because everyone didn't expect that Mr. Yang would even know these three, four, fifth and sixth-tier stars where all this strange knowledge came from!

Wu Yuanzhang sighed and got out of the car first, and had already opened the car door, but the two in front were still rubbing on the red carpet as if they were constipated.

Wu Yuanzhang looked embarrassed: "Brother, Sister Wenwen, shall we get off the car?"

Xia Wenwen wanted to wait a little longer, but Yang Bufan had already stepped out of the car directly, and then motioned for Xia Wenwen and Chen Li to get out of the car together, and then asked Xia Wenwen to take his arm and stride forward directly.

Wu Yuanzhang saw that Yang Bufan had made proofs, and he didn't have any embarrassment anymore, so he directly took Chen Li's hand with a smile and followed behind Yang Bufan and Xia Wenwen.

Don't say it, it's like the best man and bridesmaid following the bride and groom.

Yang Bufan and Xia Wenwen didn't walk very fast, but because there was no cheering, various cameras were still shooting at the stars in front of them, and they were a bit like walking by the lake.

Xia Wenwen had a polite smile on his face, feeling that Yang Bufan's pace had not slowed down, so he could only stab Yang Bufan secretly.

"Extraordinary, are we going fast, we are almost ahead of the two people in front, and all kinds of cameras don't shine on us. ”

Yang Bufan pursed his lips: "Real ink, let's go ours! What do they do!"
