217 Charity Auction (2)
"Slim. Come out quickly!"
Jiang Caijing was probing outside.
"Hey. I'm changing my clothes. Can you knock on the door and take a look?" Murong Xianxian casually found something and threw it over.
"What else can I see if I knock on the door? Jiang Caijing grabbed it casually. But it's an orange.
"Really. I really don't understand why you Hong Kong people are so keen on all kinds of parties. And they don't let them eat enough. Isn't this torturous?" Murong Xian was indignant.
"The people live on food. Sky. It's NO1. The meaning of the first. It's something that everyone has in common. Relationships between people are connected by this common denominator. Accomplish something specific. Besides. Other evenings may be boring. But the evening was still very meaningful. Come on. Sister Xian made delicious food. I specifically asked her to make more for you. lest the king of the big stomach not be full. Jiang Caijing pulled her to run.
"No, it won't. I brought Sister Xian's baked wife cake. Murong Xian smiled and said.
Sister Xian's cooking skills have nothing to say. Although it can't be compared with Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old demon. But he is also proficient in all kinds of cuisine. The baked snacks are top-notch. Murong Xianxian especially loves to eat her baked wife cakes. Hidden a lot in storage bags. Place the storage bag in your bag. No one can find out. Except for some baked treats. She also bought a lot of snacks outside. It's time to open a candy store.
Fill your stomach in a hurry. Jiang Shangsong had already come over to urge them to change their clothes quickly. Murong Xianxian wore a dark green evening dress today. Blood bracelets, diamond necklaces, earrings, and a diamond tiara pinned to the pulled up black hair. It's a bit of a flair.
"Slim. You're going to suck all the hot guys into a smug mood tonight. Xun Meiling quipped.
"Mommy. What do you mean? Is your own daughter so ugly that no one wants it?" Jiang Caijing shouted dissatisfiedly beside her.
"Ouch. Misspoken. But. Harvesting. There seem to be a lot of handsome guys chasing you. When will I bring one back and see. Xun Meiling said with a smile.
"Daddy. They all bullied me!" Jiang Caijing stomped her feet and shouted.
Jiang Haitian smiled silently. Egamimatsu snickered on the side.
"Where's the eldest cousin?" Murong Xian spun around. It was found that one person was missing.
"I'm going to pick up my sister-in-law. Jiang Caijing responded.
The group went out. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Haitian drove a car. Murong Xianxian and Jiang Caijing and Jiang Shangsong are the second cars. And Jiang Shangsong is also a promoted driver today.
in Hong Kong. Different parties have different elaborations. As well as the characters who attended the party. For example, the party they had attended the day before. There will never be anyone under the age of 30 in attendance. There are specific circles for specific parties.
"What are all auctions in this charity auction?" Murong Xianxian listened a little dizzy. I want to find something that interests me.
"It's hard to say. Something for each auction. All are voluntarily provided by those invited by the organizers. Lots can be offered in the name of a family or an individual. The auction items are also varied. There are antique jewelry. There are souvenirs that have a unique meaning for themselves. It can even be a dish. At last year's Christmas charity auction. The auction item at Yee Fung Restaurant is a table full of Han people. β
"Will anyone buy any of these things, will some of them be auctioned?" Murong Xianxian muttered.
The most monumental piece is an antique or jewelry, but it is better to say. If it's an old photo or something. How else can others buy it?
"Hehe......"
Jiang Caijing chuckled and said, "Of course it won't be unsold." No one else buys. You can buy it yourself. β
"That's right. Murong Xian smiled dumbly. My own thinking is also a dead end. But then she asked curiously, "Cai Jing." What kind of auction are you offering?"
"Is it so hard to call 'cousin'?"
Jiang Caijing was angry: "What I provided was a gold necklace. That's what I bought with the money I had from my first part-time job outside. It's only worth more than 1,000 yuan. Although I had more necklaces later. But it's still my most cherished accessory. β
"Hmm. Cousin. I decided to buy this necklace and give it to you. Unless there's a handsome guy arguing with me. Murong Xian smiled.
"you. Jiang Caijing slapped her lightly. Started with an introduction to charity activities in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is not big. But charities are among the best in the world. Strict regulatory regime. Enthusiastic donations with the participation of the whole people. Including those TV stations. A charity donation party is held every week. And set up a donation number. Didn't make a single call. You can donate one dollar. Truly achieve the participation of the whole people. In the past disasters in the interior. Hong Kong's charities have played a huge role.
"Still. Recently. There was a bad atmosphere at auctions in Hong Kong. Lots offered and auction prices. All have a bit of a taste of showing off their wealth. Jiang Caijing frowned.
"Actually, you can't look at it that way. β
Egamimatsu, who has rarely spoken, said: "Times are different. There has certainly been a shift in people's values. But a lot of people have also become impetuous. Although there is nothing to be desired in the act of flaunting wealth in itself. However, the amount of money raised at the auction has increased dramatically. As long as these donations can do their job. It's also a good thing to turn a bad thing into a good thing. This kind of flaunting of wealth is much more valuable than the kind of flaunting wealth of celebrities. β
"Only a rebel like you would think that. Although Jiang Caijing disagreed. But in fact...... No one can resist this trend. It's like knowing that the flu can be deadly. But I always get infected unconsciously. Then drink the medicine and get the injection.
"You haven't said where the auction is taking place. Murong Xianxian reminded. This is to follow the restaurant to eat. Just eat and smile. But I don't know which restaurant it is.
"It's Uncle Ye. Jiang Caijing said. Peeked at Murong Xian's face.
"Ye Tian, Ye Ziqing's father?" asked Murong Xian Xian.
"That's right. It is in the villa of the Ye family. You don't want to get off halfway, do you?" Jiang Caijing held her hand and arm. It seemed like she was going to run away the next moment.
"As for it?"
Murong glanced at her. If you don't find that Ye Ziqing to settle accounts, forget it. Is she still afraid that the girl won't make it? I heard Sister Xian say it. Ye Tian and his wife also helped their mother back then. At all costs. This favor is credited to her.
About ten minutes later. The car enters an upscale villa complex. Then drive to one of the brightly lit villas. The open space in front of the villa is not small. There are already more than 20 cars parked there (Book House www.shushu5.com the fastest update http://www.shushu5.com/
www.shushu5.com). A few cars stopped and drove off immediately. Apparently considering the problem of berthing here.
Jiang Shang let go of the car and followed the car of Jiang Haitian and his wife in front of him to the side of the road and stopped. Turned around and helped Murong Xianxian open the car door. "You go in first." I pulled the car to the side and stopped. β
Murong Xianxian and Jiang Caijing just got out of the car. Jiang Haitian and his wife also parked the car and walked down. The driver is also going to drive the car out. They stopped and waited for Murong Xian and them.
"Don't you have to wait for the eldest cousin and eldest cousin?" Murong Xianxian looked around. There were quite a few people entering the villa. There are also people who enter with acquaintances. But there were no waiting for people outside...... Belch. It can't be said that there is none. The guy at the door who collects the 'ticket' is a professional and waiting.
"He's standing really straight. Are you from a soldier's background?" asked Murong Xianxian softly.
"That's Uncle Ye's most trusted butler. is a professional who graduated from the most prestigious butler school in the UK. Jiang Caijing said.
"No matter how professional he is, he is still a housekeeper. Murong Xianxian pouted.
"You two stop muttering. Let's go inside. β
Jiang Haitian greeted. Be the first to walk towards the villa. The two hurriedly followed.
The housekeeper was about forty years old. High nose and deep eyes. It's a foreigner. Obviously, he and Jiang Haitian and his wife both knew each other. After saying hello. Still meticulously checked their stickers. Then he beckoned to a waiter. Very politely bowed down and invited a few people in.
The size of the villa is not small. In the middle of the garden is a mermaid fountain. The merfolk are also holding a harp. Two trails run from both sides of the fountain to the depths. up to a three-storey villa. And at the back of the side of the main house. There is also a small building. It is where the servants live.
The hall of the villa is huge. It's a full one or two hundred square meters. And it is arranged. Move some of the furniture out on both sides. Leave a large chunk in the middle. A long dining table was set up. There are some snacks and other foods on it, and the glass is full of red wine.
Murong Xianxian noticed. Although this hall is huge. But the decoration is very elegant. From furniture to wall dΓ©cor. Expensive but not luxurious. It's very comfortable to look at.
There were now thirty or forty people in it. Most of the young people. Murong Xianxian glanced at it. Most of these people are divided into different small groups. Each of them spoke. And six or seven middle-aged people were talking about something in a corner. There were also a few young people behind them who listened intently.
There were also eight or nine attendants dressed in uniform attire. Holding a tray with wine glasses in one hand. Wander the halls. In the stereo next to the dining table. Gentle violin music is played. It's quite emotional.
"You go talk to the young people. I said hello to my old friends. Jiang Haitian said in a low voice. And as they came in. It also attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Several young people near the door greeted Jiang Haitian and his wife. Very polite. And Jiang Haitian responded one by one. Walk in the direction of the middle-aged man over there. But then the gaze of those young people. They all concentrated behind them -- Jiang Caijing, everyone knew each other. And the focus of their attention was Murong Xianxian beside her.
