Chapter Seventy-Eight: Auction of Wedding Rings

Chen Fan and Ji Mingxue found a place to sit down.

The lights at the front desk suddenly turned on, and Qin Bao'er walked out of the backstage with a moving smile.

She walked up to the standing microphone and bowed to the guests.

"Good evening, distinguished guests, and welcome to the charity auction hosted by Mr. Chen Yingdong...... Love is the common language of mankind, love is the inexhaustible driving force of philanthropy, and love is the foundation for building a better society...... Let's ...... with a round of applause."

The opening string of words passed, and the charity evening auction officially began.

"The first item to be auctioned is an ancient book, a medical scripture that has been handed down from the Ming Dynasty to this day. This ancient book was collected by Mr. Chen in 08, and the starting price is 10,000 yuan. ”

A tall waitress walks to the front of the stage with a tray, and the rocker camera gives a 4K close-up in time to be projected onto the big screen. The texture of the ancient book and the texture of the paper are clearly presented.

"10,000 yuan, I want it. Someone shouted.

"Okay, 32 gentlemen bid 10,000 yuan. Is there anything higher?"

"I gave 50,000 yuan to support Dongge's charity. A sturdy middle-aged man got up and bowed his hand to everyone, making a familiar face in front of everyone.

"100,000, don't fight, I opened a Chinese medicine museum, and I need an ancient book like this!" At this time, another middle-aged man got up and said.

As soon as this middle-aged man spoke, everyone else didn't argue, after all, it was just an ancient book, and there were many old books like this in the market casually, and 20,000 yuan was already up to the sky.

"Okay, Mr. No. 8 is 100,000 yuan once, Mr. No. 8 is 100,000 yuan twice, and Mr. No. 8 is 100,000 yuan three times!" Qin Bao'er knocked down the gavel, which means that this ancient book has been successfully auctioned.

"Thank you Mr. 8 for your support, and here are the ......"

Time passed minute by minute, Chen Fan was drowsy, feeling that the auction would be boring, the auctions were all ordinary objects, and everyone had no desire to compete, it was really charity.

Suddenly, Qin Bao'er slapped a hammer: "The next item was brought to you by a mysterious guest, she is Chen Yingdong's wife, Ms. Lu Xiang, everyone applauds and welcomes." ”

A graceful and luxurious lady, full of jewels and a charming luster, walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, nodding calmly to everyone as she went.

Chen Fan's sleepy eyes opened abruptly after seeing the figure: "Nani!"

Isn't this lady the mother of the brook?

What a coincidence!

The audience burst into thunderous applause, and this was the first time that Chen Yingdong's wife appeared in public.

Someone secretly took a photo.

Qin Bao'er took a step back and gave up her position to Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang stood in front of the microphone, not a little nervous, and his bearing was very calm.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yingdong's wife, Lu Xiang. The next auction item is a strong commemorative item for me and Yingdong. I saw her take a huge and brilliant diamond ring from her ring finger and gently put it in the tray: "This is my wedding ring!"

Everyone gasped, the diamond ring was hailed as a token of love, did Lu Xiang take off the wedding ring indicate that her marriage with Chen Yingdong was about to come to an end? The people who ate melons had endless reverie......

"There is no doubt that I have always had a good relationship with Yingdong, and I offered to take out the wedding ring for a charity auction, and he firmly disagreed at first, but then I persuaded him. In fact, everyone doesn't know that although Yingdong and I are very happy, our daughter has been suffering from severe atrial septal defect heart disease. ”

Lu Xiang had tears in his eyes, and everyone present listened quietly.

"One third of the money we raised this time will be donated to the Hwa Nation Congenital Heart Disease Research Clinic, and the other two-thirds will be donated to those poor children who have congenital heart disease. ”

Lu Xiang bowed heavily, and the applause at the scene was like thunder.

"This ring was customized by Yingdong and I when we got married in 02, designed by the diamond ring master De Beers himself, the top international diamond 4C standard, weighing 21 carats, with a starting price of 30 million. ”

"30 million!" Chen Fan originally wanted to buy it and propose to Li Shanshan, but when he heard such an expensive price, he instantly dispelled this thought, he was rich overnight, yes, but not hugely rich.

With shock, he wanted to see who the diamond ring was.

Ji Mingxue held her chin up like a fan and looked at the diamond ring on the stage in a daze.

The 21-carat diamond ring is the dream of every girl.

The price of 30 million was shouted, and the audience was shocked, and it was cold for a while. 30 million is not a small number, and there were hundreds of thousands of shoots in front of it, but suddenly it was 30 million, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

"Mingxue, if I buy this diamond ring and give it to you, are you willing to marry me?"

Ji Mingxue received a WeChat message.

Chen Fan pursed his lips: "Who is this, such a big breath?"

Ji Mingxue said: "Who else can there be, it's that hardware old hat." ”

Chen Fan said: "This is not deleted, keep it for the New Year?"

Ji Mingxue said: "You think I don't want to delete it......"

She replied to the other side: Thank you, no need.

Chen Fan smiled: "Don't, others gave you such an expensive diamond ring, don't don't want it in vain!"

Ji Mingxue said disdainfully: "Give it to you, do you want it?"

"Give it to me in vain, I want ......"

There was no reaction from the audience, and Lu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Could it be that this ring will be the first unsold object?"

Everyone shouted in their hearts: It's too expensive, who can take out 30 million cash to buy a useless ring at once!

Although this ring is very memorable.

"30 million, I want it. At this time, an elegant middle-aged man walked in from outside, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, who is it not Chen Yingdong?

"Damn, this couple sings double reeds!"

Lu Xiang's eyes revealed a complicated light, and she pursed her lips: "Okay, this gentleman bid 30 million, is there anything higher than him?"

Only a few people present knew Chen Yingdong, but they all buried their secrets in their hearts and would not take the initiative to reveal them in front of everyone. Because, they know, Mr. Chen is a person who likes mystery.

"Count down to three! three, two, one!"

Lu Xiang knocked down the gavel and announced the end of the auction.

Chen Yingdong smiled slightly, turned around and left the auction.

After Li Xiang entered the backstage, Qin Baoer stepped forward and said, "Let's use applause to thank Mrs. Chen for everything she has done for charity." ”

The audience burst into warm applause.

"The next auction item is a string of white jade bracelets, made of high-grade mutton fat white jade, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan. ”

The camera advances, revealing the details of the bracelet on the big screen.

The facet of the bracelet is oval, while the facet of the bracelet is rectangular, and the workmanship of the bracelet looks more in line with the modern aesthetics, revealing a fashionable atmosphere.

If it is an ancient artifact, it may still have some value.

But this is clearly a modern craft.

In ancient times, there were only bracelets, not bracelets.

When the bracelet was about to be auctioned, Chen Fan held up a sign and spent 200,000 yuan to photograph this item, and everyone looked at him with stupid eyes.

At the end of the auction, when he got the white jade bracelet, Ji Mingxue sneered from the side: "Which little girl to deceive!"

Chen Fan grabbed Ji Mingxue's white wrist, circled it directly, and said domineeringly: "I've sent you." ”

Ji Mingxue turned the bracelet, secretly happy in her heart, but her face pretended to be indifferent: "Who is rare!"

It was not early, and Chen Fan drove Qin Bao'er home.

"Chen Fan, what is the relationship between you and Chen Yingdong?"

This is the biggest question that plagues Qin Bao'er's heart.

Chen Yingdong and his wife are quite familiar with Chen Fan, and their daughter is also a little close to Chen Fan.

"Sister Bao'er, actually, I really have nothing to do with Chen Yingdong, why don't I go back and take a picture of the household registration book for you at night?"

Chen Fan thought about it for a while, no! Now he is alone in the household registration book, his parents have taken it out of the household registration book, and he is now a complete loner.

"No need, I will definitely find out the truth!" Qin Bao'er's eyes showed a little excitement, when she was in college at the Chinese media, she joined the detective agency, although she only did some simple missing person notices and found lost items, but she also accumulated a lot of experience.

Chen Fan's life experience aroused her interest in being a detective at the beginning.

"Sister Bao'er, you won't secretly follow me......" Chen Fan felt uncomfortable.

Qin Bao'er showed a mysterious smile: "Guess ......"

"Forget it, don't guess, your home is in the City of Abundance, right?"

"Well, turn right ahead?"

After Qin Bao'er got out of the car, she poked her head into the window and asked, "Do you want to come up and sit?"

Chen Fan hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need." ”

Chen Fan drove away with a smoke.

Qin Bao'er smiled and shook her head: "Coward." ”

......

The next day, Chen Fan interviewed Sheh's younger brother in the office.

Her younger brother looks about 1.75 meters, with a neutral appearance, a suit and tie, and he is dressed very formally, and his personality is not visible for the time being.

"Hello, please sit ......"

Chen Fan took her brother's resume and looked at it, She Zhenyu, 1992......

Probably the situation is similar to what She Shilan said, Chen Fan mainly depends on his work in Xinmao Electromechanical.

Circuit engineer, R&D content: design of intelligent obstacle avoidance circuit for electric wheelchair......

Chen Fan couldn't help but nod secretly, such a talent was very suitable for him, and it almost coincided with his ideas to some extent.

He looked up and said, "She Zhenyu!"

She Zhenyu said in his heart, although this young man looks very kind, he has an unparalleled confidence all over his body. It was this self-confidence that emanated from him with a powerful sense of oppression, a feeling of oppression that he had only seen in successful men in their thirties and forties.

"Hello. She Zhenyu responded.

Chen Fan got straight to the point: "Talk about your views on smart clothing." ”

She Zhenyu nodded and talked eloquently: "Smart clothing is the general trend of the future, in the era of diversified information change, people chase rapid change and innovation, but it seems that since 16 years, the entire intelligent industry has entered a state ......of stagnation, and the intelligent industry seems to have encountered a bottleneck and a strange circle."

She Zhenyu was reminded by her sister and did her homework in this regard.

"Okay, without saying all these clichΓ©s, do you think you can design circuits into your clothes?"

She Zhenyu said: "Yes, but there is a risk, when the circuit is actually designed, there must be an insulating compartment, so that the weight, lightness, and texture of the clothes themselves will be affected, and they will give competitors the opportunity to suppress, they will say that smart clothing is difficult to clean, or easy to produce radiation, etc." ”

Chen Fan nodded secretly, and the questions raised by She Zhenyu were all bottlenecks of smart clothing.

Smart clothing is good, but after it is dirty, you can't just throw it into the washing machine, if the washing machine is too fierce and the circuit in the compartment is broken, then this dress is not scrapped?
