Chapter 21 Against the Heavens
"Thank you for your comment. ”
Jiang Cheng got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, "I'm not coming back tonight, why don't you be responsible for sending Jing Yao back." ”
"I have hands and feet, why do I send him. ”
"I am your housekeeper or a servant. ”
Jiang Cheng smiled playfully: "Jing Yao, I have a hunch that it won't be long before there will be one more person in our family." ”
Xiao Jingyao suddenly felt a chill on her back, "What are you talking about." ”
He Yan didn't refute Jiang Cheng's words, but it surprised her, "Let's go." ”
"I'll send you there, and take a taxi when you come back, in case you drink and it's not safe to drive on the road. ”
"I'm going to work and not to have fun, and it's no longer under my control whether she drinks or not. ”
Xiao Jingyao listened to what he said, the reason why he went to the party was completely for the case.
The car arrived at its destination, He Yan opened the car door for her like a gentleman, and protected the roof with her hands, Xiao Jingyao got out of the car and stood side by side with him, "Do you know how you feel in my heart now." ”
"What a feeling. ”
"It feels like a driver. ”
"Let's go, Miss Xiao. ”
Xiao Jingyao raised her hand to hold his arm, didn't take two steps, and almost fell, He Yan subconsciously helped her. "No matter how much exercise equipment you put in the living room, your coordination won't improve much. ”
There was a hint of redness on her face, and she suddenly raised her foot and stepped on him, ignoring the pain behind her, showing her invitation card and walking into the arena.
There was still a period of time before the party, and many people came early in the venue, Li Zhenyu, who was chatting with the guests, saw Xiao Jingyao's figure, said a few words to the people around him, walked towards her, and stepped forward to say hello, "I'm glad you can come tonight." ”
Li Zhenyu's voice was low, and his eyes looked at her gently.
He Yan, who was following her, rarely saw her shyness, and his face darkened instantly.
Li Zhenyu looked at He Yan beside her, "Mr. He is here with Jing Yao." ”
"She's my assistant, and she goes wherever I go. ”
Xiao Jingyao heard his displeasure and said to Li Zhenyu apologetically: "
Li Zhenyu didn't care about his words at all, "The party is about to start, you are free, if you need anything, just mention it to the staff." ”
Xiao Jingyao said: "You are busy first, don't worry about us." ”
He Yan looked at the back of Li Zhenyu leaving with his hands in his pockets, his voice was extremely slight, Xiao Jingyao didn't hear clearly for a while, "What did you say." ”
He Yan looked at her lightly, "It's actually not bad for you to marry Li Zhenyu, you have a good family background and are educated." ”
She sniffed with her nose and said, "How do I feel the sour smell in the air all the time." ”
Time passed minute by minute, and the guests began to sit in their positions one after another, He Yan picked the last row and sat down, and Xiao Jingyao sat on his right.
The presenter, dressed in a black suit, stood on the stage with a microphone and said the opening remarks: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction charity gala jointly organized by the Lee Group and the Children's Charity Foundation. Passing on warmth and starting for love, tonight I am looking forward to it like everyone else, and we will do our best to gather the power of love. In addition, I would like to thank Ms. Wang Lina of Li's Group for donating 20 million yuan to this auction. ”
There were bursts of warm applause at the venue.
Wang Lina got up from her seat and walked to the stage, "Distinguished leaders and guests, thank you for coming, I am Wang Lina, I am very grateful to the Children's Charity Fund for giving the Li Group such a good opportunity to help those left-behind children, all the donations tonight will be used for the medical assistance of left-behind children in the poor mountainous areas of Fengtai Town, Xunzhou City......"
Xiao Jingyao looked at the people on the stage in surprise, "Isn't that Mrs. Li." ”
He Yan looked ahead calmly, "She is Wang Lina, the chairman of the Li Group." ”
Xiao Jingyao admired her: "A strong woman in the business world." ”
"She is decisive and never soft at work, and many people in the workplace are not her opponents. ”
Wang Lina on the stage continued: "I have another thing to tell you, from today onwards, the chairman of the Li Group is my son Li Zhenyu......"
After Wang Lina finished speaking, Li Zhenyu, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and bowed ninety degrees.
She calmly looked at the people who were talking about it below, "I believe that under your supervision and support, Li Zhenyu will also show his own strength to let everyone see the development of the Li Group, thank you again for coming, thank you." ”
The auction shall be presided over by the auctioneer, and the auction shall officially begin after the auctioneer announces the auction rules and precautions.

"Now the highest bid on the field is 800,000, is there anyone else bidding.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"Someone came out to 850,000,000," the auctioneer looked around, "850,000, once, 850,000 twice." The auctioneer paused for two seconds, looked around the room, confirmed that no one raised the card, took the hammer, and struck the mallet, "Deal." ”
"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, for winning this lot for 850,000 yuan. ”
Xiao Jingyao whispered: "A vase is sold for 850,000 yuan, wouldn't it be to go home and offer it." ”
"Those people in front of them are among the best people in Xunzhou, and 850,000 yuan is ten yuan in your hands for them. ”
Xiao Jingyao said: "Compared to them, we are simply ants. ”
The auctioneer standing on the table continued to introduce the goods: "The famous calligrapher Xie Zhiyuan's Chinese painting "Seeing Plum Blossoms Bloom on a Cold Day", Xie Lao's calligraphy gesture is vigorous and free, the pen is sonorous and powerful, and the plum blossoms on the painting are even more beautiful and polymorphic, full of beauty.

"One and a half million. ”
The auctioneer looked around the audience and confirmed that no one raised a sign, "1.5 million once, 1.5 million twice, 100,000 ......"
"One million and eight million. ”
Everyone looked back at He Yan, and Xiao Jingyao, who was sitting next to her, also looked at He Yan who was holding up the sign with surprised eyes.
The auctioneer pointed at him with his fingers together, "This gentleman has paid 1.8 million, and there is no one to bid." ”
After confirming that no one raised the card, the auctioneer took the hammer and struck the hammer, "One million once, one million eight thousand twice, one million eight thousand three times, the deal." Congratulations to Mr. Ho for winning this lot with 1 million. ”
Xiao Jingyao looked at him in amazement, He Yan knew what she was going to say, so he said: "The calligraphy and painting market is relatively stable in other categories of collections, and it is very traditional Chinese culture, isn't it." ”
The auctioneer continued: "Pure natural Burmese jade jade pendant. As the saying goes, "people raise jade, jade raises people", everyone sees this piece of jade is clear and moist, from the perspective of psychology, it has a calming effect on the human body, and long-term use will make people refreshed and prolong life. In addition to having the function of collecting and maintaining value and strengthening the body, it also exorcises evil spirits for the wearer. Myanmar jade jade pendant, the starting price is 2 million, each increase is not less than 200,000 yuan, please intend to buy as soon as possible. ”
The auction lasted for nearly two hours, and the host held the microphone and said the final closing remarks: "Thank you again to all the guests, tonight's auction charity party ends here, the amount is 838.25 million yuan, thank you again for coming, please move to the dining area to eat." ”
The lights were bright, and the guests in and out of the palatial hall were all celebrities in the political and business circles, and everyone was greeting each other, only Xiao Jingyao stood at the long dining table salivating, dazzling the delicacies and choosing the food they liked to eat.
Li Zhenyu, the newly appointed chairman, kept talking to him from the end of the auction, and when the guests left, he walked quickly to the direction of Xiao Jingyao stationing.
"I didn't expect you to be quite busy, and the entertainment continued. ”
"No way, it's required for work, but I don't know most of them. ”
"It's good for a long time, some things don't get used to in a moment. ”
"Interested in having a drink. Li Zhenyu picked up the red wine on the table and poured two glasses,
She would get drunk when she drank a little, and she looked at him and refused: "I ......"
He handed it to her, "It's a celebration of a new job." ”
Xiao Jingyao was no longer embarrassed to refuse, she took the wine glass in his hand.
For Xiao Jingyao, who doesn't often wear high heels, her feet will hurt a little after standing for a long time, Li Zhenyu noticed her movements and proposed: "At present, I will go and sit outside,"
From the beginning of talking to Li Zhenyu, the eyes of the people around her were fixed on her, and she didn't want to be the focus of their eyes, so she agreed.
In the quiet night, the silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the two sat side by side on the bench, sitting next to him Xiao Jingyao could feel his loneliness, she said lightly: "It's a little difficult to adapt to suddenly letting you take over such a big company, everything has its first time,"
Li Zhenyu took a sip of wine, "The things I want are far away, I don't know if I will achieve them in advance in this life." ”
"From the beginning, as long as you persevere, you will get the results you want, I know that you are a lonely person who can tolerate loneliness, but are you willing to be a loner forever. ”
Li Zhenyu leaned back in his chair, raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass, "I don't want to be a compromiser in life, there are some things that others can go with the flow, but I can't, only going against the sky can prove that I am alive." ”
Xiao Jingyao heard his words and mistakenly thought it was a car accident back then, which made him angry, "There are two sides to everything, what you think is bad, it is bad, you think it is good, it is good." You have been looking at life with an impetuous heart, but you are not enjoying life with a calm heart. ”
