Volume 1, 1st Pot of Gold, Chapter 762, Charity Gala

Next chapter

The auction is the final part of the charity gala, and the proceeds from the auction will be used to help orphans and civilians in war-torn areas. In addition to Julian Schnabel's "Pearl in the Pacific", there are many other things that Jiang Chen is very interested in this auction, and if the price is not too outrageous, he plans to auction a few works of art and hang them at home.

Natasha has always complained that he is too arrogant, although he himself doesn't think it's hurting him, but since he has the opportunity, it's better to buy a few works of art back to fill the façade. Of course, in addition to the artworks, it is said that several of the wealthy people present will also sell some collectible knick-knacks. The organizers did not disclose what exactly these collectibles are, which can be described as a gimmick.

didn't greet the organizer for too long, Mr. Jia Lewei had other guests to welcome, so Jiang Chen took the initiative to end the topic.

When he walked into the venue with Xia Shiyu, who was holding his hand, the party had already begun.

The beautiful hall, elegantly yet gorgeously decorated, is surrounded by transparent graphene panels on one side, and the blue sea and blue light on the outside add a touch of mysterious cold color to the venue.

Waiters with champagne weave their way between the long tables and the crowd to bring wine and towels to the guests. This undersea restaurant is one of the famous attractions of Penglai City, whether it is the decoration, the service, or the food on the table, it is created according to the three-Michelin star level, that is, the restaurant "worth a special trip" to visit......

In the party venue, Jiang Chen saw many acquaintances, and many strangers greeted him.

What surprised him the most was that he actually saw Carmen Rothschild here. This guy quietly came to Penglai City to participate in the charity gala, and he didn't say hello to him in advance.

Seeing Jiang Chen, he immediately showed a white eye, greeted him with a smile, and shook Jiang Chen's hand vigorously.

"We meet again, my old friend. ”

"Haha, it's been a long time. Jiang Chen let go of his hand with a smile, "This is my female companion, Miss Xia Shiyu." ”

"Hello, Mr. Rothschild. Xia Shiyu smiled.

"It's an honor to meet you, beautiful and wise Ms. Xia, your male companion is really an enviable guy. Carmen graciously made a joke.

Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled politely, but it could be seen that she still liked to listen to such compliments.

Jiang Chen also smiled, and then spoke.

"How's it going, my old friend, are all your troubles solved?"

Judging from the daily international news, the situation in Europe is becoming more and more unstable. Last year, the AfD came to power, and the political arena of the whole of Europe began to move to the right, especially at the end of the year, when several consortiums funded the construction of refugee camps in the forests on the border between Norway and Sweden, which completely ignited the social contradictions between the cultists and the mainstream society...... There is also the contradiction between the Virgin and normal people.

"The trouble will never be solved. Carmen skillfully took a bottle of champagne from the waiter's tray, made a gesture of clinking glasses to Jiang Chen, shrugged her shoulders self-deprecatingly and said, "It's like champagne at this party." ”

"Is there any trouble in this world that the Rothschilds can't solve?" Jiang Chen smiled and took a glass of champagne to clink glasses with him.

"Of course there are, for example, money can't solve the right problems. With that, Carmen smiled and set the empty glass aside, "I recommend you keep an eye on the auction in the next moment, there are a lot of good things on it." ”

"For example?"

In the face of Jiang Chen's question, Carmen just smiled mysteriously and did not answer, and then said goodbye to him temporarily.

Carmen's pretended mysterious smile made Jiang Chen's heart itch with curiosity, but since the auction was about to start, he didn't get to the bottom of it anymore and took over Carmen's sale.

Although the party was held in the name of charity, there was no trace of charity at the party. In such a high society, the common "hobby" of charity is nothing more than a reason for these rich and famous people to get together, to satisfy their social needs in the pie, and to meet business partners.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people really want to do something for those poor people.

Walking in the venue of the party, feeling the temperature from his arm no longer so stiff, Jiang Chen said with a somewhat abrupt smile.

"It's beautiful. ”

"En?" Xia Shiyu was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

"I mean, you're beautiful today. ”

While saying this, Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile. However, the latter was a little embarrassed by his sincere gaze, and with a pretty face with a little red cloud, he stiffly avoided his gaze.

"Why, why do you suddenly talk about this?"

"I've noticed that at least a hundred people have looked at you since you walked into the venue, and ninety-nine of those hundred people have avoided your sight. Jiang Chen smiled evilly in Xia Shiyu's ear.

"Surely, is it really strange that I am wearing this dress?" Xia Shiyu quickly lowered her head with some uneasiness, and looked at the clothes on her body, as well as the clothes of the other women around her.

The long dress was borrowed from Aisha, and it was the first time she had worn this type of dress. When Jiang Chen said this, she suddenly felt a little awkward.

"No, just because you're so beautifully dressed. Jiang Chen said with a hippie smile.

"Blind, nonsense. Xia Shiyu blushed and glared at Jiang Chen angrily.

After a few laps around the venue, because he drank a lot of low-degree champagne, Xia Shiyu went to the bathroom halfway, and Jiang Chen walked around the venue alone.

At this moment, someone next to him suddenly called out his name.

"Jiang Chen?!"

"Are you?" Jiang Chen looked at the man who greeted him in confusion, he didn't remember knowing him.

Even with Asian aesthetics, this man is considered to be the more handsome kind, and it is diametrically opposed to the roughness in European and American aesthetic culture. However, being eagerly watched by the man, Jiang Chen didn't have the slightest good impression in his heart, especially since this person was still relatively handsome, and he had goosebumps about to fall out.

"Of course you won't know me, I'm Alex Watson. Alex took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Alex Watson?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, even if this Alex said his name, he was not at all impressed.

Seeing this, Alex had to smile helplessly, spread his hands and said.

"Well, it seems that my sister rarely mentions her uncompetitive brother outside. ”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed his surname, in combination with what he said about his younger brother.

"Are you...... Emma's brother?"

"That's right, you finally recognize me. My sister is also at the party, do you want me to take you to meet her?" said Alex Emma enthusiastically.

"No, if she wants to come to see me, she'll come to me. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The two didn't know each other well, and it seemed that there was no need to meet and say hello. What's more, Emma is the image spokesperson of the future human creature, and Jiang can be said to be the top boss of her top boss. In other words, Jiang Chen himself didn't want to run into his boss during the break.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of glassware breaking nearby.

Including Jiang Chen, the guests next to him all looked in the direction of the voice......-

(There is only one shift today, and here Morningstar has to apologize to everyone.) Friends who have read my public may already know that there is a big flood in Wuhan. Yesterday, when the sun was out, I hurriedly bought a train ticket to go home, but when I went to the train station, the driver told me that the road was flooded and I had to take a detour to the station.
