Chapter 39: The Auction Turmoil
"When it comes to the Gu family, it is natural to be meticulous. Gu Nanchen insisted, he took out his mobile phone and forwarded the email sent by Gu Feng to her, before he said: "You see who you need to invite can be handed over to your assistant Xiao Ai to do it, and I will leave the rest to Gu Feng to arrange." β
Jiang Xiaobei saw that he insisted and didn't say anything, he would only be troubled by the labor force this time, and he didn't know how many people he would provoke.
β¦β¦
The next day, Jiang Xiaobei handed the prepared invitation to Xiao Ai: "This is the invitation to the auction, you give it to everyone, tell them that they are willing to participate, if there are too many things at hand, you don't have to attend." β
Xiao Ai looked at the delicate golden invitation card in his hand, full of envy: "Don't worry, director, I will definitely convey it." β
"Well, if you want to go, you can come downstairs in my apartment early tomorrow night with me. β
"Okay, I'll be there sooner. Xiao Ai was busy, she was worried that the "outlets" hotel was in the city center, and the cost of taking a taxi was high, and it was a toss to take transportation.
After Xiao Ai left, Jiang Xiaobei took out his mobile phone, and after hesitating for a moment, he still dialed Jiang Lixing's phone.
"Hey, Xiaobei. β
"Brother, I have an auction here, it's my work, I want to ask if you are free to come. β
"Okay, tell me when and where. β
Hearing his answer, Jiang Xiaobei suddenly didn't open his eyes and smiled: "I'll send you the electronic invitation later." β
"Good. β
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaobei couldn't wait to share the good news in her WeChat group with Ling Han and Shen Qingyin. Ling Han quickly replied that he would attend on time, and Jiang Xiaobei thought that Shen Qingyin hadn't paid attention to the news, so he dialed her phone.
Shen Qingyin put down the magazine in her hand, first hung up Jiang Xiaobei's phone, and when she clicked on the electronic invitation and saw that the host address was the "Outlets" hotel, her face sank immediately. Jiang Xiaobei's financial situation, she knows better than anyone else, let alone the venue of the "outlets", even if it is an ordinary hotel venue that can accommodate dozens of people, she may not be able to take out the money.
If she didn't guess wrong, it must be that she didn't know what means she used to let Gu Nanchen come forward for her.
What's hateful is that she is the future president wife of the Gu family, but she hasn't received any news!
The more Shen Qingyin thought about it, the more angry she became, and she dialed Fang Hai's phone with a gloomy face.
"Miss Shen, what do you command?" At this time, Scar was at ease with his new name and new identity.
"I have an invitation here, you must hand it over to Jiang Zhiwei and find a way to persuade him to attend on time tomorrow night. β
Scar clicked on it and said, "Auction, you're not kidding? With the Jiang family's current financial and material resources, it would be good to maintain the scenery on the surface, where is the money to build outside." β
"It is precisely because of the Jiang family's economic crisis that I asked them to see that the eldest lady of the Jiang family is entertaining celebrities in such a luxurious hotel, do you think Jiang Xiaobei's father can still live when he gets the news?"
"Miss Shen is really thoughtful. β
"Don't be a sycophant, do what I gave you, and I will naturally not treat you badly. After Shen Qingyin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
β¦β¦
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the eve of the auction. Jiang Xiaobei packed up early in the morning and followed Xiao Ai to the venue. In order not to cause unnecessary commotion, she specially asked her teacher to summe
Don't come to "join in the fun".
Jiang Xiaobei stood under the open-air balcony on the second floor and looked at the luxury vehicles slowly driving at the door of the hotel, feeling more and more worried, she never thought that Gu Nanchen would go to such great lengths. She looked at some of the people she'd even seen a few times at Milan's Fashion Week, and knew that tonight's auction was going to be sloppy.
Finally, she saw Shen Qingyin walking in with Gu Nanchen in her arms, and after the reporter at the door took a photo, Jiang Xiaobei stepped forward and said to Shen Qingyin: "I'm sorry, borrow your fiancΓ© to use it......"
Before Shen Qingyin could speak, he heard Gu Nanchen say angrily: "You are dressed like this for your own auction?"
Jiang Xiaobeisi glanced at the meticulous powder blue OL suit on her body, and didn't mind at all: "I'm a designer, and I'm not a model or movie star, what do I do with such fancy things, I rely on strength and not those things that are superficial." β
Shen Qingyin's face stiffened, and the hand holding the handbag gradually tightened, and before she could speak, she saw Gu Nanchen walking towards the rooftop with Jiang Xiaobei, without taking her in the slightest.
"I said, Mr. Gu, you said that everything is handed over to you, so you have to be so high-profile, right?" Jiang Xiaobei looked at the steady stream of people downstairs with a headache.
"Do you think I'm here for you?" Gu Nanchen pretended to be disdainful and said: "You also heard about the addition of a port in Binhai City in the previous time, and now the whole city is in the midst of a development plan, how can the Gu family have such a great development for many years Thanks to the support of the state, it is time for us to do something for the city." β
Jiang Xiaobei turned his head to look at the brightly dressed people at the venue, and then looked at the entertainment notes at the door mixed with a few reporters in formal clothes, and then he reacted: "You want to take this opportunity to raise funds for the additional port?!"
"It's not too stupid. Gu Nanchen chuckled: "Binhai City is now in the midst of a development plan, and Gu's, as a leading enterprise in the city, naturally has to play a leading role." β
"But how do you know if they're willing to raise donations?"
"You don't know this," Gu Nanchen looked at the people at the venue with meaningful eyes: "The business status of the people who came today in Binhai City is either rich or expensive, and they naturally understand that today's money is not spent in vain. β
"Yes, is it?" Jiang Xiaobei smiled dryly: "It seems that I am too short-sighted, hehe......"
It's not hopeless, at least you know that donating the proceeds from the auction to charity is also a reward for society as a "successful person". Gu Nanchen said calmly: "I understand a little bit now."
Why did so many excellent designers choose you as her close disciple? β
"Hehe, it's all fate, Mr. Gu praised it. Jiang Xiaobei looked at his unfathomable appearance, and he was really a little uneasy.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to walk away, she saw Ling Han coming towards her.
"Senior brother. Jiang Xiaobei stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice: "I seem to have caused trouble......
"What?" Ling Han lowered his head and approached.
Gu Nanchen, who was not far away, looked at the intimacy between the two, and his eyes darkened inexplicably.
He was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the uninvited guest at the venue.
