"I'm so!"

Taking the elevator back to the surface, Berkeley cursed the nosy Jiang Chen fiercely in his heart, cursing Emma who made him make a fool of himself. He vaguely remembered what kind of gaze the people around him were looking at him when he left the scene.

He's never been so before!

A Porsche stopped on the side of the road, and when he saw his young master coming, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door for him.

Compared with the first few days of opening, there are a lot more vehicles on the roads of Penglai City. Some rich cruise ships have their own garages, and the car can go wherever the boat goes. Berkeley clearly falls into this category, and when he came to Penglai, he set sail directly from a private port in California.

Sitting in the car, Berkeley's face was gloomy.

"Drive back to the hotel. ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that the young master was in a bad mood, the driver could guess with his toes that he must have encountered something unpleasant at the banquet. As a professional dogleg, this is a good opportunity to share the worries of the young master! Halfway through the car, it is estimated that Berkeley's mood is a little better, and the driver asks tentatively.

"Young Master Berkeley, who is so bold as to dare to make you unhappy?"

"Jiang Chen. Berkeley said lightly.

The driver shuddered.

Nima, there's no solution to this at all!

Soon, however, Berkeley added faintly.

"And Emma. ”

After telling his driver, Tate, about the cause and effect, Berkeley leaned back in his seat and said no more. Thanks to Emma, he had to think about how to explain it to his father. After all, his father values face more than anything else.

Even in the end, he was not at all wrong about his own self-realization.

With Jiang Chen's umbrella, no one can move this Emma. However, this is not difficult for Tate, who was a paparazzi reporter in Hollywood before driving this stupid young master with a lot of money. In order to get that salary, what kind of means he didn't see?

Rolling his eyes, Tate lowered his voice as he leaned on the steering wheel.

"Young master, I have a trick. ”

Say. Berkeley said impatiently.

"Since this watch is doing whatever she wants with the umbrella above her head, then you will take off her golden umbrella first, and then move her people. Just ......" Tate lowered his figure and whispered a few words next to Berkeley.

After listening, Berkeley's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly slapped his thigh with laughter.

"Haha, Tate," Berkeley laughed as he hooked Tate's shoulder, "you kid is just too bad!"

In an instant, the bad mood swept away from his mind.

Wait! Lao Tzu will make you pay!

Berkeley licked the corners of his mouth, he had already begun to figure out in his mind how to torture that haughty chick when he got his hands on her.

……

The waiters removed the dazzling array of cooked food and replaced them with delicate and delicious desserts. The sweet but not greasy ice cream stimulated Jiang Chen's taste buds, even if he didn't like sweets very much, he couldn't help but fall in love with this nameless ice cream.

Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind, after the party was over, he must go to the kitchen to get the recipe for this ice cream, and then let Aisha learn to make it for him.

After the dessert was served, all the guests were almost all happy, and the party entered the final and most crucial part of the charity auction.

The objects auctioned at the auction were all donated by people from all walks of life, such as Jiang Chen, who donated a fountain pen he once used, with a price tag of $100,000. Compared to Julian Schnabel's "Pearl of the Pacific", a fountain pen is undoubtedly a bit shabby. But what matters at this auction is not what is sold, but how much money is donated in the end.

Because it is a charity auction, most of the successful people who sit here are well-known, and after the auction is successful, the organizer will announce the names of the bidders to satisfy the vanity of these donors.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu came to the venue next door and sat in the corner of the venue.

The guests were seated, and the messenger standing at the door gently closed the door.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mr. Jia Lewei, the host of the party, walked onto the stage, held the microphone and coughed lightly, and then looked at the guests present with a smile.

"It's a pleasure and a great thank you to be here today, and we're gathered here for the same purpose, for those in need......"

There was no bright spot in the opening remarks, and for Jiang Chen, an atheist who had no feelings of compassion and pity, what Jia Lewei said did not arouse his interest. He is more concerned about what interesting things he can get from this auction than charity.

did not disappoint Jiang Chen, when Mr. Jia Lewei said his closing words, the beautiful woman wearing a UNICEF uniform next to him stepped forward, and in the red brocade box in his hand, there was an antique-looking teacup.

"The teacup used by Queen Victoria is two hundred years old, and the donor is the Duke of Edward from London, with a starting price of $5 million!"

There was applause in the room, and the people paid their respects to the generous duke, and then raised their bidding cards.

In the end, the teacup, which had been used by the queen, was sold for a sky-high price of $17 million.

The second one is also an antique, so there's not much to say.

When it came to the third piece, Jiang Chen suddenly cheered up.

Because it is the fountain pen he used that will be auctioned off, and the starting price is $100,000!

To be honest, he is still looking forward to what kind of price this fountain pen will fetch at auction. However, the reality was very cruel, the auction room was quiet for two seconds, and no one was bidding. Seeing that his fountain pen was about to fail, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly became embarrassed.

Lying in a groove, this forced is a bit overdone!

Looking at Jiang Chen's deflated appearance, Xia Shiyu pursed her crooked mouth and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

She took the sign, wrote a string of zeros on it, and was about to take a picture of the pen for him.

But at this moment, a sign was raised on the other side of the venue, and the host suddenly looked over there and exclaimed.

"A million dollars! 10 times the price up! Bid winner Carmen Rothschild! Let's give a round of applause to this generous gentleman, to this generous family......"

The applause rang out, but Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Then he noticed that Carmen, who was sitting there, was smiling at him and raising her glass.

Well, there's finally someone who knows the goods.

The fourth item, the finale, "Pearl of the Pacific," caused a small wave of excitement at the auction, with a starting price of $5 million and a minimum of $100,000 each increase. However, as soon as the painting came out, it was doubled by a certain local tyrant who directly played a card without common sense, 10 million US dollars!

However, it is a pity that his competitor is Jiang Chen.

After a battle, when the third hammer sound fell, the painting was finally sold for a high price of $110 million, and was eaten by Jiang Chen. A painting sold for $110 million, and even though there was no shortage of wealthy people present, they couldn't help but be staggered by the horrific price.

Many celebrities even cast Chiguo's gaze at Jiang Chen, and at the same time, they also cast Chiguo's jealousy of Chiguoguo to Xia Shiyu, who was sitting next to him, and couldn't wait to be sitting there.

The fifth product appeared on the scene, which immediately attracted Jiang Chen's attention.

It was a humble notebook.

It was a codebook, to be exact.

And the origin of this codebook is a little special...... (To be continued.) )
