Chapter 424: Auction
Invitation to the Garry Charity Auction. This was given to him by Yang Jun. The focus of charity auctions is not on auctions, but on charity. At that time, when Yang Jun took out this invitation letter to him, Bai Yi was still very puzzled at the time, he didn't understand what his intentions were, could it be that he saw that he opened his mouth wide and ate nearly one-third of the shares of their Xinghai Airlines, and he was a little angry, so he planned to let him have some blood. However, this kind of charity auction is a little more of a show.
According to Yang Jun, Jiarui Charity is held once a year, and the main target group is the nobles of the Star Sea. That night, all the characters in Xinghai who have heads and faces will show their faces. For these people, a good name is obviously more important than money. Money is just a number to them, and it doesn't give them a sense of accomplishment anymore.
Surrounded by flowers, the red carpet is spread. Long guns and short cannons, handsome men and beautiful women. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to hand over an invitation letter to enter when he walked to the door, Bai Yi would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place and mistakenly entered the award ceremony of a film festival.
He arrived just in time to follow the flow of people into the hall. There were already a lot of people gathered inside, all dressed up and smiling. Judging from their dress and temperament, we know that these people are either rich or expensive, and they are not ordinary people.
Will all the characters with heads and faces in the sea of stars be there! Bai Yi swept it away, and really didn't find any acquaintances he knew. When Yang Jun gave him the invitation letter, he told him that there were some hard indicators for this charity auction, such as being worth less than 100 million yuan and not getting an invitation. So the people who can come here today are all rich and noble.
The dome of the carved beams and painted walls is dazzling with crystal lamps. The entire hall is brightly lit and luxurious. Bai Yi couldn't help but think that it would be funny if the money raised by the evening auction was not as much as the money spent on holding such a drinking party.
Hiding in a corner, looking at the crowd of people who were staggered and laughing, Bai Yi suddenly found that he was a little out of place on such an occasion. The purpose of his coming, in addition to seeing the nobles of the sea of stars, really wanted to do something good. According to what Yang Jun told him, the Jiarui Charity Auction will auction some items donated by nobles, and all the money raised will be handed over to the Red Cross. Based on the experience of previous years, a seven-figure charity fund raised at such an auction will not blow away. That's a lot of money, but considering the identities of the people present, the seven-figure amount immediately doesn't feel like much.
The auction will be held after the reception. At the reception, everyone will talk about some favorite topics. He didn't care much about these Bai Yi, he was more concerned about the auction that would be held later.
"Are you going to make a move in a moment, do you see anything you like?" As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he heard the whispers of two sexy young women dressed in fancy clothes who walked out of the bathroom before him.
"Of course. Fancy a pair of jade bracelets. But what interests me more than the jade bracelet, do you know what it is?" chuckled one of the women in a black hand gown.
"What is it?"
"This jade bracelet was taken out by a woman surnamed Gu. ”
"Gu Xinman!" The woman next to her suddenly exclaimed. Then he immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and looked around again, seeing that no one noticed her unusual behavior just now, and then continued in a low voice. Bai Yi, who was walking behind the two, didn't want to eavesdrop on their chat, but when he suddenly heard Gu Xinman's name, his ears immediately pricked up, could there be any contradiction between these two and Xinman.
"Gu Xinman donated it, you still buy it, isn't it uncomfortable to spend money, do you still want to wear her things, that woman, with a foxy face, I don't like her. ”
"Of course I won't wear her stuff anymore. Hmph, I still think she's dirty. Have you heard, her husband, the young master of the Lu family, heard that there are too many women to play, and the following is wasted. Hehehe-"
"Ah, wouldn't she have to be a widow when she got married, tsk! There's no man to moisturize - no, the last time I saw her, she still looked like she was full of spring, I don't want to be without a man. The middle-aged young woman wearing a white gift next to her looked puzzled,
"Phew! My information is absolutely reliable, and his husband is a scrap. When you see her full of spring, it means that she has other men out there. And when have you ever seen the two of them attend a drinking party or something, and the political marriage looks like a god. ”
"Shhhhhh The Lu family is not easy to mess with. Although the woman surnamed Gu is nothing, she married a good family. Four families, tsk. This title alone is enough to be envied. ”
Bai Yi, who deliberately slowed down, carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between the two women. Unexpectedly, after going to the bathroom, he bumped into an 'acquaintance'. It seems that these two must have a conflict with Xinman. It's a coincidence that no book is written. What he didn't expect was that Lu Li still had this problem, no wonder it was the first time Gu Xinman did it with him.
Carefully looked at the two people in front of him. This 'black and white double hero' looks good from behind, there is no bucket waist, and there is no fat on his body. Maybe it's because of the long gown, everything that shouldn't be seen is hidden.
Are these two trying to do something bad tonight? Just now they said that Xinman donated a pair of jade bracelets, and it seems that Xinman is also at the reception. Thinking of this woman, Bai Yi suddenly felt a little hot all over his body.
"Then why do you want to buy her things?" the young woman in white was very confused.
"Don't you think it's very interesting to take the jade bracelet she donated, and then pretend to miss it and fall to the ground in front of her, and shatter the jade bracelet. I heard that this jade bracelet is something she often wears on her hand, and tonight to donate it is a formality, and she will bid back by herself. That's how a lot of people do this. Not only has a good reputation, but things can also be returned to Zhao. ”
"Hahaha, that must be very interesting...... the two women shook their shoulders excitedly.
Damn, it's really dirty enough to have this kind of thought. The cold glint in Bai Yi's eyes flashed. Gu Xinman is his woman, these two people actually wanted to trouble Gu Xinman, and they were bumped into by him so coincidentally. It's an eye-opener. He made up his mind that when these two women were bidding, he would help Gu Xinman.
Walking briskly past the two of them, Bai Yi pretended to glance back. Their faces are in full view. The two of them were dressed up to give 80 points, but their appearance was just passing.
I don't know how Gu Xinman could provoke these two people. I'm really not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves.
Half an hour later, the party ended. One after another, people walked to the auction hall.
"Love ignites hope, and auctions convey true feelings. Distinguished guests, good evening. Exciting times are coming soon, and we hope you all have a great evening. Long story short, let's now move on to the final part of the evening – the Treasure Auction. ”
