216 Charity Auction (1)
"Slim, come out!"
Jiang Caijing was probing outside.
"Hey, I'm changing 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 was an orange.
"Really, I really don't understand why you Hong Kong people are so keen on all kinds of parties, and you don't let you eat enough, isn't this torture?" Murong Xian was indignant.
"The people live on food. Heaven, which is NO1, the meaning of the first, is the common denominator of everyone. The relationship between people is to use this common ground to connect and accomplish something specific. Besides, other parties may be boring, but this one is still very meaningful. Hurry up, Sister Xian has made something delicious, I specially asked her to make more for you, so as not to have a big stomach and not be full. Jiang Caijing pulled her to run.
"No, I brought Sister Xian's baked wife cake. Murong Xian smiled and said.
Sister Xian's cooking skills are not to be said, although she can't be compared with Bai Suzhen, a thousand-year-old demon, she is also proficient in making all kinds of food, and the baked snacks are first-class, Murong Xianxian especially loves to eat her baked wife cakes, and she hid a lot of them in the storage bag, and put the storage bag in the bag, no one can notice it, in addition to some baked snacks, she also bought a lot of snacks outside, and she can open a candy store.
Hurriedly filling their stomachs, Jiang Shangsong had already come over to urge them to change their clothes quickly, Murong Xianxian wore a dark green evening dress today, and the blood bracelet, diamond necklace, earrings and a diamond headdress were pinned to the pulled up black hair, which was unique.
"Slim, you're sure to attract all the handsome guys tonight (Book House www.shushu5.com the fastest update http://www.shushu5.com/

"Mommy, what do you mean, is your own daughter so ugly that no one wants it?" Jiang Caijing shouted dissatisfiedly next to her.
"Ouch, I said the wrong thing, but, Caijing, 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're all bullying me!" Jiang Caijing stomped her feet and shouted.
Jiang Haitian smiled silently, and Jiang Shangsong snickered on the side.
"Where's the eldest cousin?" Murong Xian turned around and found that there was one person missing.
"I'm going to pick up my sister-in-law. Jiang Caijing responded.
The group went out. Jiang Haitian and his wife drove a car, Murong Xianxian, Jiang Caijing, and Jiang Shangsong were the second cars, and Jiang Shangsong was also a promoted driver today.
In Hong Kong, different parties have different particulars, and the people who attend the party, for example, the party they attended the day before, there will never be people under the age of 30 who will attend. There are specific circles for specific parties.
"What are all auctions in this charity auction?" Murong Xianxian listened a little dizzy, trying to find something that she was interested in.
"It's hard to say, because each auction is voluntarily provided by the guests invited by the organizer, and the auction items can be provided in the name of the family or in the name of the individual, and the auction items are also varied, including antique jewelry, and souvenirs that have a unique meaning for themselves. It can even be a dish, and at last year's Christmas charity auction, Yee Fung Restaurant's auction was a full table full of Chinese people. ”
"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 can someone else buy it?
"Hehe......"
Jiang Caijing chuckled: "Of course it won't be auctioned, no one else will buy it, you can buy it yourself." ”
"That's right. Murong Xianxian smiled dumbly, and her thinking was also a dead end, but she asked curiously, "Caijing, what kind of auction item are you providing?"
"Is it so hard to call 'cousin'?"
Jiang Caijing was indignant: "What I provided was a gold necklace, which I bought with the money I bought from my first part-time job outside, and it was only worth more than 1,000 yuan, although I had more necklaces in the future." But it's still my most cherished accessory. ”
"Well, cousin, I've decided to buy this necklace and give it to you, unless there's a handsome guy fighting with me. Murong Xian smiled.
"you. Jiang Caijing slapped her lightly and began to introduce Hong Kong's charity activities.
Hong Kong may be small, but it is one of the largest charities in the world. Strict regulatory system, the participation of the whole people in the donation, including those TV stations, will hold a charity donation party every week, and set up a donation telephone, without a phone call, you can donate one yuan, truly achieve the participation of the whole people, in the mainland of the previous disasters, Hong Kong's charities have played a huge role.
"However, in recent years, there has been a very bad atmosphere in Hong Kong auctions, and the auction items and auction prices have a bit of a taste of showing off their wealth. Jiang Caijing frowned.
"Actually, you can't look at it that way. ”
Jiang Shangsong, who has rarely spoken, said: "Times have changed, people's values have changed, but many people have also become impetuous, and although the act of flaunting wealth has no merit in itself, the amount of money raised at the auction has increased dramatically, and as long as these donations can play their role, it can be regarded as turning bad things into good things." This kind of flaunting of wealth is much more valuable than the kind of flaunting wealth of celebrities. ”
"Only a rebel like you would think that. Although Jiang Caijing disagreed in tone, in fact...... No one can resist this trend, just like knowing that the flu will be deadly, but always unconsciously being infected, and then drinking medicine and injections.
"You haven't said where the auction is taking place. Murong Xianxian reminded him, this is the same as going to a restaurant to eat, just eating with a smile, but not knowing which restaurant it is.
"It's Uncle Ye. Jiang Caijing said, peeking at Murong Xianxian's face.
"Ye Tian, Ye Ziqing's father?" asked Murong Xian Xian.
"That's right, it's in the Ye family's villa, you don't want to get off halfway, right?" Jiang Caijing held her hand and arm, as if she would run away in the next moment.
"As for it?"
Murong glanced at her slightly, it doesn't matter if she doesn't look for that Ye Ziqing to settle accounts, is she still afraid that the girl won't succeed? Besides, I heard Sister Xian say that Ye Tian and his wife also helped their mother back then, no matter what, this favor is recorded on her.
About ten minutes later, the car entered an upscale villa area. 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, and a few cars stop and drive away immediately, obviously considering the parking problem 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. Turning around, he helped Murong Xianxian open the car door and said, "You guys go in first, I'll drive the car to the side and stop." ”
As soon as Murong Xianxian and Jiang Caijing got out of the car, Jiang Haitian and his wife also parked the car and walked down, and the driver was also about to drive the car out, so they stopped and waited for Murong Xianxian and them.
"Don't you have to wait for the eldest cousin and eldest cousin?" Murong Xianxian looked around, and many people entered the villa. There were also people who entered with acquaintances, but there were no people outside...... Well, I can't say no, the guy at the door who collects 'tickets' is a professional and others.
"He's really standing straight enough, is he from a soldier?" asked Murong Xianxian softly.
"That's Uncle Ye's most trusted butler, a professional who graduated from the most famous 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, go in. ”
Jiang Haitian greeted and took the lead towards the villa. The two hurriedly followed.
The butler was about forty years old, with a tall nose and deep eyes, and he was actually a foreigner. Obviously, he and Jiang Haitian and his wife knew each other, and after saying hello, they still meticulously checked their invitation stickers, and then beckoned to a waiter, and bowed down very politely to invite a few people in.
The size of the villa is not small, in the middle of the garden is a mermaid fountain, the mermaid also holds a harp, and two paths extend from both sides of the fountain to the depths until a three-story villa, and at the side and back of the main house. There is also a small building, where the servants live.
The living room of the villa is very large, one or two hundred square meters, and some furniture has been moved on both sides, leaving a large space in the middle. There was a long dining table with snacks and other foods and glasses filled with red wine.
Murong Xianxian noticed that although this living room is very large, the decoration is very elegant, from the furniture to the wall decoration, it is expensive but not luxurious, which makes people look very comfortable.
There were already thirty or forty people inside, most of them were young people, Murong Xianxian glanced at them, most of these people were divided into different small groups, each talking to each other, while six or seven middle-aged people were talking about something in a corner, and a few young people were listening very intently behind them.
In addition, eight or nine waitresses dressed in uniform walked the hall with a tray of wine glasses in one hand, and the soft violin music played in the stereo next to the table, which was quite emotional.
"You go talk to the young people, and I'll say hello to the old friends. Jiang Haitian said in a low voice. And as they came in, they also attracted the attention of many people in the living room, and several young people near the door greeted Jiang Haitian and his wife one after another, very polite, and Jiang Haitian responded one by one, and walked in the direction of the middle-aged man over there. But then the eyes of those young people were all focused behind them-Jiang Caijing was known to everyone, and the focus of their attention was Murong Xianxian beside her.
