Charity auctions, in the final analysis, are also a kind of charity fundraising, and they are the most popular kind of charity fundraisers, which can not only allow fundraisers to get in kind, but also to raise money, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Even government departments sometimes hold charity auctions.

It's just that today's society is different from before, and small charity auctions like this private charity auction held by Ann Shilong have also begun to be mixed with some other things.

Showing off wealth, comparing and so on are also inevitable.

There are even rumors that An Shilong held this kind of charity auction, ostensibly for charity, but behind the scenes, he was to make money and keep the charity auction proceeds for himself.

It is precisely because of this rumor that today's party has a slightly weird atmosphere.

After listening to what An Zhi said, Su Chen had a certain understanding of this kind of charity auction, and his interest was reduced.

Except for antiques, he should not have any interest in other auction items.

The charity auction party officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and now most of the employees of the company are gathering together.

As the eldest lady of the company, as soon as An Zhi entered the banquet hall, many people came forward to greet her.

Anzhi doesn't have any big lady shelf, and he greets them very warmly, and he is obviously very popular in the company.

"By the way, Anzhi, I suddenly thought of a question, your father is a company and a charity, why did you choose to do archaeology?"

"It's because of my grandfather. ”

An Zhi replied with a smile: "I didn't tell you, my grandfather is the honorary president of the Antique Preservation Association for life. It was he who taught me to play antiques since I was a child, and when I grew up, he also wanted me to apply for the archaeology major. It is said that it is to be able to better protect the national treasures of our country. ”

Antiques Preservation Society?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had heard of this association.

He had heard of the Cultural Relics Association, and he didn't know if there was any relationship between the two.

However, after inquiry, he found that there was no relationship between the two, and that the Cultural Relics Association was an official organization, while the Antiques Protection Association was a non-governmental organization.

The purpose of this organization is to devote itself to the recovery of some cultural relics and national treasures that have been lost abroad, but because it is a non-governmental organization, even if it has a good relationship with the government, it has made very little contribution because of limited funds.

Hearing this, Su Chen was full of respect for this organization.

The time passed quickly, and at eight o'clock in the evening, some employees of the company also knew that the next event was not for them to participate in, so they left early, but there were also many employees who wanted to stay and watch the charity auction.

And those guests who officially participated in the charity auction also arrived one after another.

The charity auction was held in another hall on the top floor, and as time went by, An Zhi brought Su Chen to that hall as well.

The hall was very spacious, and when they entered, there were already about thirty people inside.

Su Chen took a general look, these people were divided into several groups, the largest of which were more than a dozen middle-aged people, who were talking about something, and could vaguely hear words similar to development and policy, obviously, these people were talking about things about the upper echelons of Jinling.

And the other is a group of young people sitting in the corner, probably about the same age as Su Chen, the number of people is about ten, and it should be some second-generation sons and celebrities.

The two of them came in, in fact, it also attracted the attention of many people in the hall, among them, those middle-aged people stopped paying attention after taking a look, but the young people who got together were staring at them tightly, to be precise, it should be on Su Chen's body.

Especially when they saw An Zhi pulling Su Chen, the two looked very intimate, and many people's faces showed surprise.

"Hey, who's that man? Have any of you seen that?"

"Nope. But seeing that An Zhi is so close to him, it should be a lot of relationship. ”

"Is it her boyfriend?"

Today's Anzhi is undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl in the scene, wearing a black long skirt dress, revealing her proud figure, and her fair and pink skin looks more bright and moving under the lights of the hall.

Unlike in Jinchuan before, An Zhi at that time was simple and capable, like a workaholic, but now, her gestures are full of charm, and even Su Chen was a little surprised at first.

This group of young people, their eyes were even more tightly attracted, but when they saw that the most beautiful pearl in the audience was held in the hands of a stranger at this time, these pretentious young people were faintly a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Let's go, meet him. ”

Among this group of young people, there was a young man about thirty years old, who was wearing a fashionable and decent white suit and dress, with a faint look of pride between his eyebrows.

At this moment, it seemed that Su Chen had robbed him of his prestige, he put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked towards Su Chen, and the others followed.

"Miss An, don't you want to introduce us to this friend when he looks at Miansheng?"

These people walked up to the two of them, and the young man who was about thirty years old and led by said to An Zhi with a smile.

When An Zhi saw this young man, his pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the original smile on his face faded a little. Still, she introduced the crowd to each other.

This young man who spoke, named Liu Hua, is the one with the deepest background among the second generation here.

"Mr. Su, it's the first time you've come to Jinling, right?"

Liu Hua's eyes looked at Su Chen unscrupulously, and when he saw that this person was dressed in a simple outfit, it was estimated that the whole body did not add up to more than a thousand yuan, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he asked in a condescending tone.

Su Chen glanced at him, a sneer appeared in his heart, nodded, and replied lightly: "It's indeed the first time I've come." ”

"I don't know where Mr. Su is?"

"Jiangnan Province, Jinnan, a small place, is not as big as Jinling. Su Chen said casually.

Hearing that Su Chen was from a second-tier city like Jinnan, Liu Hua and the others all had a ridiculous feeling in their hearts. A person from a small place can actually be favored by a first-class beauty like An Zhi?

Could it be the son of an invisible rich?

"I don't know what industry Mr. Su is engaged in. I've been working in the jewelry industry lately, and if I could, I would like to work with Mr. Su. Liu Hua said with a smile, his tone was very sincere.

"Then I'm afraid Mr. Liu, you will be disappointed, I am just an antique appraiser, and I have no contact with jewelry. Su Chen said lightly.

Liu Hua finally determined at this time that the person in front of him named Su Chen was indeed a little-known person.

Although he didn't know anything about antiques and had little interest, he knew that antique appraiser sounded like the kind of profession that they didn't like in their eyes.

For a while, Liu Hua and the others were even more unhappy.

Of course, even if they were unhappy in their hearts, they didn't show it immediately, after all, their status was there, and if they stepped forward to find fault for no reason, they would really lose their identity.

However, several people have made up their minds in their hearts, and they must find an opportunity to make Su Chen lose face fiercely, so as to eliminate the boredom in their hearts.

After making up their minds, Liu Hua and the others didn't bother with Su Chen, but went somewhere else and began to whisper.

After they left, An Zhi's face showed some apologies: "Su Chen, I'm sorry, you don't have to care about these people because of this virtue." ”

Su Chen smiled and said that there was nothing.

Similar to people like Liu Hua, he has really seen a lot.

Maybe you didn't offend them, but because of the difference in status and class on both sides, when you appear in their circle, they will deliberately target you and even slander you.

This psychology of these people comes from the superiority of class, in other words, self-righteousness.

To be honest, Su Chen looked at them more like clowns, and he wouldn't care about some ridiculous tricks of clowns.

Seeing that Su Chen didn't care, An Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this charity auction was held by her father, and if she hated Su Chen because of this, it would be reasonable and reasonable to have something to do with her.

Seeing that the personal leave passed minute by minute, and when it was almost nine o'clock, the charity party had not yet started, which made Su Chen a little confused.

"Anzhi, didn't you say that the charity party should be held at eight o'clock? Why is it ten o'clock, and there is still no movement?"

"Don't worry, the people haven't arrived yet. Although it is said to be eight o'clock, it is only officially held, and it will be held until nine o'clock, and it may even be held until ten o'clock. Anchi explained.

Su Chen was a little speechless when he heard this, is the upper class so unpunctual?

After another ten minutes, the banquet hall, which had been whispering, suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked towards the door of the banquet hall.

I saw that under the greeting of An Shilong and several other middle-aged people, a group of people walked in.

Su Chen looked over and saw that there were a total of five people in this group, led by an old man with gray hair, holding a dragon's head cane, supported by a middle-aged man in his forties, behind him were two young people, and one was wearing a gray robe, dressed very ...... The middle-aged man of the god stick was half a position behind the old man and followed on the right side.

Su Chen's eyes were outstanding, and he clearly saw that when the middle-aged man dressed as a god stick appeared, An Shilong's expression changed significantly, with a trace of anger, but it quickly disappeared.

"There is a contradiction between the two? Looking at this person's dress, it shouldn't be a serious profession. Su Chen thought to himself.

After the old man appeared, the middle-aged people who were chatting in the hall stepped forward one after another and greeted him warmly, but the old man's expression was a little indifferent, and they only nodded slightly.

"He is Zheng Haochang, the old chairman of Zheng Guo Group, Zheng Lao. Zhengguo Group is a well-known consortium in the whole of China. An Zhi said softly on the side.

Su Chen really hadn't heard of the Zheng Guo Group, but this didn't prevent him from understanding the status of the old man in front of him.

In Huaxia, the assets that can be called a consortium are at least nearly 100 billion yuan, and even Ning's Longteng Group can only be called a large group, not a consortium, because it is not qualified.

Just from this, you can see the status of this Zheng Lao.

That is a pivotal figure in the entire Chinese business community, and in Jinling, it is naturally one of the top handful of people.
