Chapter 674: For the sake of profit
I don't know since when charity dinners have become more and more popular in China. In the beginning, such dinners were basically initiated by the government, and many public welfare people took the initiative to participate.
Slowly, such banquets began to develop into commercial aspects, for example, some prestigious businessmen held such a dinner, in order to expand their personal connections, but also to fight for a good reputation.
Later, such a dinner party became the favorite of artists and stars, not to mention that they can be on the news to increase exposure, and they can also use charity to win the favor of the audience.
Yang Dongxu is not reluctant to see such an evolution, and is even a little happy to see it. As long as the charity fundraising is really rolled up to the public welfare organization, whether you want to increase your reputation or want to be in the news is understandable.
Confucius said that if you do good deeds, you don't want to reciprocate, and this thing cannot last. And doing good deeds and accepting the initiative of others in return, good deeds can be better sustained.
There is no need for him to advertise himself as more powerful than a saint, after all, the public welfare that seeks nothing in return is only a righteous act that a few good people can persist in, and what is needed to go back is a normal form that can be sustained.
Since he was attending a charity gala, Yang Dongxu did not wear casual clothes as he usually did when entering a business occasion, but wore a formal suit.
The height of 186, a slightly thin but undressed figure, not a resolute smile at the corner of the mouth, giving people the feeling that the sun is a little cynical and very upright, and the divine light under the sword eyebrows is very easy-going, but if someone wants to explore, they will find that it is a pair of deep pools that cannot be explored.
Yu Yi, who was holding his arm, was dressed in a black dress today, and the low-necked tight-fitting dress was conservative and set off her bumpy figure to the fullest, although she was 177 tall, although she did not step on the sky, but a pair of ordinary high heels made many men reluctant to stand beside her. Yang Dongxu wouldn't have been able to hold back if he hadn't had a height of 186.
The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is tall and charming, and the two people who are not at such a low altitude walk into the banquet hall and instantly attract the attention of many people.
Most of the people in Yu Yi's banquet hall are acquaintances, after all, most of the people invited to this banquet are local businessmen in Hangzhou. As a current charity postcard in Hangzhou. The public welfare performance of volunteer teaching is very recognized by everyone, so when these companies want to engage in some charitable donation activities, they will contact the teaching office, and Yu Yi, as the person in charge, will naturally get to know each other.
But Yang Dongxu next to Yu Yi is basically unknown, after all, whether it is the investment in the West Lake Scenic Area, or the investment in the expressway, or the transportation company, he basically has not shown up a few times.
So seeing Yu Yi holding Yang Dongxu's arm and entering the banquet hall, many people guessed in their hearts who this tall young man was. Let Yu Yi, who has always been clean and self-conscious, never have too much intimate contact with men, and does not accept private banquets, took his arm to attend the banquet.
"Hey, Miss Yu Yi, you're here. Seeing Yu Yi holding Yang Dongxu's arm, Sun Hao, who came over, frowned. But apparently he also knew what the occasion was, so even if his eyes were a little unkind, he didn't take the initiative to find fault.
"Well, it's not too late, is it?" Yu Yi nodded and said hello.
"No, it started at half past seven, and now it's only seven twenty o'clock, but everyone is more active in charity earlier. Compared with Sun Hao, who had no one in his eyes before, although Sun Hao's temper is sometimes uncontrollable, his speech in the world is several grades higher than before.
After trying his best to control his emotions, Sun Hao continued: "That Miss Yu Yi, my cousin is preparing over there, is it inconvenient for you to go over together, and come to the stage to give the opening speech at the beginning of the party later?"
"You're welcome to this, Mr. Chu's banquet should have been opened by him, so I won't go up to offer ugliness. Besides, I didn't prepare a speech. Yu Yi smiled and refused.
"Hehe, I was abrupt. Can you please go over and see the banquet process and the precautions for donations? This is also the first time we have held such a banquet, and we are afraid that something will go wrong and make the guests laugh. ”
"That's fine. Yu Yi didn't shirk anything and agreed generously, and after agreeing, she couldn't help but look sideways at Yang Dongxu.
"You go and get busy with yours, I'll take a walk alone, I see a lot of delicious food over there, I'll go sit over there." Yang Dongxu pointed to the independent dining table not far away and said.
"Well, I'm done looking for you. Yu Yi nodded.
"No, you're busy, I'm not hungry alone. Yang Dongxu patted the back of Yu Yi's hand as a farewell.
Although he saw that there were a few good foods at the table, the banquet had not yet begun, and it was impossible for him to take the plate and eat it. So I took a look at Dafabet time.
After a while, the banquet began, first the host came to the stage to attract everyone's attention, and then Chu Fei came to the stage with a friendly smile on his face to make an opening speech.
"Thank you all for being here tonight and for being able to hold this charity dinner. It is really borrowed from the light of today's official investment promotion. Otherwise, there is no way to gather all the busy people. ”
"Young Master Chu is too polite, greet everyone with your face, and everyone must come over. ”
"That's right, that's right, it's everyone's responsibility to do good deeds. ”
Chu Fei's polite words made many people below echo him.
"You're polite, you're being so polite. Most of the successful people here are older than me, belonging to my uncle's generation. Everyone just call me Chu Fei, Chu Gongzi really tormented me. The smile on Chu Fei's face was even stronger.
"Please come over today, one is indeed for charity. After all, the teaching charity that Miss Yu Yi is responsible for has become a postcard in Hangzhou, and we naturally have to maintain it well. Chu Fei complimented Yu Yi, and Yu Yi, who was standing on the side of the stage, nodded with a smile and greeted the guests below.
"These two are the national economy has ushered in great development. The people present are the main force of Hangzhou's economic development, so I asked everyone to get together and chat with each other to see if there is anything that can be exchanged with each other.
After all, the strength of one person is limited, and unity can make greater progress. If there is a big project that you can't win by yourself, or you need help, everyone should communicate with each other.
I'm stupid, so I won't say much. The dinner party is the beginning, everyone eats and drinks well, does their best for charity, and comes here to make more friends. Chu Fei hugged his fists and bowed to the audience, attracting a lot of applause.
Because it was just a business banquet where people got together in the name of charity to expand their network, there were no celebrities to perform. So after the opening speech, everyone smiled and greeted each other, got to know each other, and talked more about each other's interests. I'm not interested in getting to know other people. Slowly, people who were interested in each other or who were familiar with each other got together to form a small group and chat.
No one knew Yang Dongxu with some food on his plate and found a corner to sit down, although Sun Hao's gaze was not good just now, but the other party was indeed a lot more mature, and he didn't come over to threaten and warn anything.
There were many people around Yu Yi, although every time he raised the red wine glass in his hand, he took a sip, but soon a glass of red wine was in his stomach.
While eating, there was one more person beside Yang Dongxu, and when he looked sideways, it turned out to be Li Fuzhen. I saw Xin Juntai who was introduced by Chu Fei as the main guest just now, but I didn't see Li Fuzhen and thought that she wouldn't come, but I didn't expect to come halfway through the banquet.
"What do you want to eat, do you want me to pick up some more for you?" Seeing that Li Fuzhen did not shy away from picking up the fork he had just put down on the plate, inserting a piece of pastry and putting it in his mouth, Yang Dongxu asked.
"No, I'm going to lose weight and can't eat much at night. Seeing that you eat too fragrant and can't hold back, I just eat small pieces, and if I eat too much, I will really gain weight. Li Fuzhen waved his hand and glanced at Yu Yi in the crowd not far away.
At this time, Yu Yi was standing next to Chu Fei, and opposite her stood Xin Juntai, Chu Fei seemed to introduce the two of them, Xin Juntai's face swept away the depression of the past two days, and he was very enthusiastic and didn't know what he was saying, his eyes looked at Yu Yi and didn't move away, and a girl with eyes next to him was quickly translating.
"Are you familiar with Yu Yi who does volunteer teaching?" Li Fuzhen retracted her gaze and looked sideways at Yang Dongxu, although she had only come in now, she had obviously seen Yu Yi holding Yang Dongxu's arm and entering the arena before.
"I'm also from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, so it's not strange that she is a celebrity in our school and knows her, right?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Also, I forgot that you are alumni, or the same class, right?" Li Fuzhen nodded suddenly in understanding.
The main reason is that although Yang Dongxu studied in college in Hangzhou, he basically did not study in Hangzhou in the past two years, and Li Fuzhen really subconsciously ignored the fact that he went to college in Hangzhou.
"It's the same class, but it's not the same department. ”
"It's very clear. ”
Yang Ye couldn't help but glance at Li Fuzhen sideways, Li Fuzhen, who was originally a little frowning, was a little panicked by his face when he saw this, but quickly regained his calm.
"What are you looking at?"
"Didn't see anything, do you see what I'm doing?"
"When did I see you?"
"How do you know I'm looking at you if you're not looking at me?"
"You" Li Fuzhen didn't know how to refute Yang Dongxu for a while, but the next moment she saw the teasing smile on the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth, she slapped it over: "You dare to refute me, do you want to be beaten?"
said as if she wanted to increase the threat of her words, and after slapping Yang Dongxu, she also waved her little fist and demonstrated twice. It's just that this look even disrupts the temperament of a strong woman, and it doesn't have any deterrent effect at all, but it looks even more cute.
Originally, the two people who were a little flirting in the corner didn't attract too much attention, thinking that they were just a small couple. But when someone recognized Li Fuzhen, and then wiped his eyes with an incredulous face, he began to become dumbfounded.
Then someone kept discovering Li Fuzhen, Sun Hao walked up to Chu Fei and told him, and Chu Fei, who had a good chat with Xin Juntai Yuyi and several other businessmen in Hangzhou, glanced at the corner.
When he saw Li Fuzhen, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and when he moved his gaze to Yang Dongxu beside Li Fuzhen, his face instantly became gloomy, and then he thought of something and his brows began to wrinkle gradually.
