In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Huo Xiaoran's charity dinner. Gong Qingchen asked Xiaoxiao to carefully select a few paintings that she liked better, and then handed her over to Gu Ruiwen to take with her—after all, she auctioned the paintings as the daughter of the Gu family that day.

Speaking of painting, Gong Qingchen also made a joke, she had always thought that Xiaoxiao's painting competition was before the charity dinner, and she had been worried that if she didn't get the award, the painting would not be auctioned, but later after a careful look at the schedule and time, she realized that before the charity dinner was only the preliminary round, and the other semi-finals and finals were all after the dinner.

Xiaoxiao was taken away by Gu Ruiwen, Ji Yunyang wanted to attend as Huo Xiaoran's fiancé, and Gong Qingchen was left alone. However, Huo Xiaoran quickly found a name for her - the employee representative of Hengye Group, the seat was in the middle of Huo Che and Huo Xiaoran, and it was still in front of Ji Yunyang, and there were only two people separated from the old man of the Huo family.

Ji Jun, as Ji Yunyang's father and a veteran entrepreneur, naturally also attended, and his seat was arranged by Huo Xiaoran next to Chairman Huo, and there were a few heavyweight bosses in the middle of Gong Qingchen, not afraid that he would convulsive at any time to find trouble.

The first event at the beginning of the dinner was a program performed by the children. Because this is a children's foundation, Huo Xiaoran also worked hard when selecting the children to perform, the first group of programs is a dance performance of a group of deaf and mute children, and the second group is an orchestral performance composed of several blind children, interspersed with several programs for able-bodied children, in short, it is to pluck the fragile string in the hearts of this group of old fritters in the business world.

After the orchestra played, Gong Qingchen took out a tissue from his small bag, gently pressed the corner of his eye, and wiped away his tears. Since she became a mother, her heart has been so soft that she can't see the tragedy of her child at all.

Huo Xiaoran turned sideways, pressed her ear, and asked a little proudly, "How is it?"

Gong Qingchen glanced at her, and didn't say anything, but his eyes and expression already said everything.

Ji Yunyang sat next to Huo Xiaoran, and when he saw Gong Qingchen crying, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and couldn't help poking her shoulder with his hand, and said, "You can change seats with her!"

Huo Xiaoran looked at Huo Che on Gong Qingchen's side, glanced back at Ji Yunyang, and said angrily: "I won't change." It's not enough for the two of you to be tired at home, you can't bear it for a while?"

Ji Yunyang was so angry with her that he pouted, took out the check he was originally going to donate and shook it gently, and said in his mouth: "Will you change it?"

Seeing that he threatened himself with money, Huo Xiaoran glared back angrily, gently pulled Gong Qingchen's hand, changed seats with her, and sat next to Huo Che. If the money is for her own use, she doesn't care, but now it's for the children to raise donations, and she can only suppress her temper first.

Huo Che saw her sitting over, and was about to lean over and say something, but Huo Xiaoran didn't give him a look, and leaned closer to Gong Qingchen and bit her ear.

The show on the stage came to an end for the time being, and the host came on stage to incite emotions for a while, and then invited the groups of children who had just performed to come back to the stage and introduce their general situation to the audience and guests.

Xiaoxiao followed Gu Ruiwen to sit in the second row, she listened, quietly slid down from the chair, stood behind Gong Qingchen's chair, gently pulled her hair, and whispered: "Mom, I also want to help these children." ”

"You've already donated paintings!" Gong Qingchen also whispered, "Later, Uncle Host will take your paintings and put them on display, and if anyone buys them, the money he gives will be donated to these children." ”

"But what if no one buys it?" said Xiaoxiao unhappily, "I want to help them myself." Mom, can I take out a little money from my education fund? I can continue to earn money next year, and I can make up for the money I donated today, so that I won't miss school. ”

The few adults sitting in front didn't expect that she would think so much about a little girl, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised and praised one after another. The movement here alarmed the old man of the Huo family who was sitting in the middle, he opened his half-squinted eyes and asked, "Whose child is this?"

Gong Qingchen hurriedly let Xiaoxiao go over and told her to be careful when she spoke.

Xiaoxiao was not afraid, she walked in front of Old Man Huo, and said generously: "My name is Xiaoxiao, my father's name is Gu Ruiwen." ”

"It turned out to be the daughter of Gu Xiaoer's family. A smile appeared on Old Man Huo's face, he looked at the smile and continued, "You don't look very similar to your father, but your kindness is exactly the same." When he was a child, he came to my house to play, and he couldn't see others suffering, like a boy with good money. ”

Xiaoxiao didn't know what a "good money boy" was, but she understood that the old man in front of her was praising Gu Ruiwen, so she smiled and said politely: "Thank you, grandpa, for complimenting my father." ”

"You call me grandpa?" Old man Huo laughed suddenly, "Girl, the generation is wrong, your father wants to call me grandpa." You can call me great-grandfather. ”

"Great-grandfather. He changed his words with a smile.

Old Man Huo smiled, reached out and hugged Xiaoxiao in his arms, and asked her to sit on his lap and continue to watch the show.

Several adults on the side were stunned, not knowing how Xiaoxiao got the old man's blue eyes.

"My grandfather probably hasn't seen such a young child in a long time. Huo Xiaoran explained to Gong Qingchen and Ji Yunyang in a whisper, "Our family has always been a single branch, there are no relatives, and some so-called world friends are not close, so they generally dare not bring such a young child to the house, for fear that the slightest mistake will make the old man unhappy." ”

"The old man's temper has been much better in the past two years. Ji Yunyang whispered, "When I smiled just now, I also sweated." ”

Gong Qingchen glanced at him: "You talk a lot." "Talking about other people's grandfathers in front of Huo Xiaoran, it's a shame that he can say it.

Huo Xiaoran didn't care, after all, the old man's temper was not a secret in everyone's hearts, and only people like Gong Qingchen who were unfamiliar would be surprised. She touched Gong Qingchen's with her arm and motioned for her to continue watching the show.

Next, several groups of children performed their own programs, some able-bodied and some disabled. At the end of the last program, the audience erupted in applause.

After the host came to the stage and said the closing speech, a master of ceremonies came over and invited Huo Xiaoran to come to the stage to speak.

Ji Yunyang glanced at his father, lowered his head and whispered to Gong Qingchen, "Our old man has been glaring at you." ”

"Just stare at it, and there won't be a piece of meat missing. Gong Qingchen didn't care about Ji Junze's thoughts now, she even thought that it would be best for him to find an opportunity to come over and throw her a check again, she would definitely take it happily and go to the mall to shop - the certificate has been obtained, who is afraid of whom?

After Huo Xiaoran finished speaking, he announced the official start of the charity auction, and the first lot was Xiaoxiao's three paintings.

Originally, the process of the arranged link was to start bidding directly after introducing Xiaoxiao's identity, but Huo Xiaoran saw Xiaoxiao sitting in the arms of Old Man Huo on the stage, and had a whim, so he asked the camera to focus on Xiaoxiao, and then projected it on the big screen. At this time, the audience saw the appearance of Old Man Huo, who was known for his iron face when he was young, holding a little girl with a loving smile on his face.

In an instant, there were three times more people holding signs than Huo Xiaoran expected.

The starting price is 3,000, each bid is 1,000, and the final transaction price is 30,000. Huo Xiaoran was really excited when he "made the final decision", and blinked quickly at Gong Qingchen in the seat, and then stepped down and handed over the scene to a professional auctioneer.

Gong Qingchen was also surprised, glanced at her, and quietly gave her a thumbs up, but Ji Jun, who was sitting next to Huo Xiaoran's father, took advantage of Gong Qingchen to turn his head and threw an eye knife at her.

Cut, dead old man, just stare at her secretly, and dare to play prestige at her face. Gong Qingchen glared back without showing weakness, not caring at all that Ji Junze was next to her big boss.

Ji Jun was so angry that his heart began to hurt again, he didn't get a bargain in Gong Qingchen's hands last time he went to Ji Yunyang's company, so he made a grudge in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet on a narrow road, and this time he saw it again at the dinner, this girl was still sitting in the first row beautifully, how could he not make him hate in his heart.

"Brother Huo, look over there. Ji Jun approached Chairman Huo and whispered, "This young lady is very eye-catching, I don't know who invited her?" He said Gong Qingchen.

Chairman Huo looked in the direction he pointed, couldn't help laughing, and said with some pride: "This is Miss Gong, an employee of Xiaoche's company, and a good friend of Xiaoran, with very strong work ability, I admire her very much." ”

Ji Jun was stunned: "Is she working in Xiao Che's company now?"

"Yes!" Chairman Huo said proudly, "If Xiao Che finds a girlfriend as good as her in the future, I will be satisfied." ”

After listening to Chairman Huo's words, Ji Junze's expression changed suddenly. He thought that Gong Qingchen was just a gold worshipper who could come to this kind of occasion by Ji Yunyang, so he wanted to provoke in front of Chairman Huo and use his face to drive Gong Qingchen out, who knew that she was sitting here by her own ability, and she also got Chairman Huo's blue eyes, which was ranked in his heart.

After a few people, Gong Qingchen still saw that Ji Junze's expression became darker. She stuck out her tongue at him nonchalantly and grimaced, indicating that she didn't care about him at all.

Ji Jun was furious in his heart, but because of the bad occasion, he just glared at him viciously, and then lowered his head and carefully calculated in his heart how to get out of this evil breath in his heart.

Seeing that these two people could still fight a lawsuit between a few people, Ji Yunyang couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
