The Wilson Charitable Foundation is very influential in the world, and this time the famous host of Shencheng Satellite TV was invited to preside over the auction. After the lively opening remarks, David Cooper, Vice President of the Foundation, gave a speech thanking the guests for their part in the philanthropy.

The foreigner's speech was very short, and a few minutes later he announced the official start of this year's charity auction in China.

Like other events organized by the Wilson Charitable Foundation, this charity auction was very formal. In addition to a qualified auctioneer, there were also several experts in jewelry, art and antiques who were present to identify the lots donated by the guests and give a reasonable starting price.

Every year, the Wilson Charitable Foundation holds charity auctions in various parts of the world, and it has long formed a set of fixed patterns. Usually, guests improvise some lots, which are valued and handed over to the auctioneer for public auction. The winner of the auction becomes the new owner of the lot, and the Wilson Charitable Foundation does not take the proceeds for itself. Instead, donate a sum equal to the auction proceeds and distribute it to a local charitable foundation.

The distribution of the funds is at the discretion of the Wilson Charitable Foundation. They have an internal evaluation mechanism, and every year they send special personnel to understand the operation of various charitable funds through various channels. Then, according to a certain standard, the score is used to determine the amount of donation.

Wilson's system has been in place for many years, and it has always been very fair, and no one has ever questioned it. The guests who came to participate in the charity auction basically knew that the money they donated would be used in their own countries, so they were more generous.

After the auction starts. First, several ladies donated their jewelry to the auction. Although the estimate is not very high, it is only one or two thousand. But it can be regarded as the official kick-off of the charity auction.

However, these jewels are relatively ordinary, that is, they have no investment value and their artistic value is not high. The bidders were also not very enthusiastic. It's just that after two or three rounds of bidding, all of them were successfully sold.

Interestingly, the guests who bid for the jewelry after the auction are basically the guests who donated the jewelry in the first place. Only one was bought by the man, but he immediately returned the jewelry he had just arrived at to its original owner. In other words, the jewels just go around the auction table and then all go back to their original owners. The only change is that the Wilson Charitable Foundation has raised more than 100,000 yuan.

However, after these rounds of bidding, the atmosphere at the charity auction site was also warm. Many of the guests donated more expensive items to auction, ranging from the more expensive jewellery at the beginning, to the later works of art and antiques of gold watches.

Although most of these lots were bought back by their original owners, they did raise a lot of money. After a lot went under the hammer for 60,000 yuan. The host of the TV station happily announced to the guests: "I have good news for everyone, so far, today's charity auction has raised 3.625 million yuan. Can you continue to work hard to increase the total amount of the auction to 5 million, and also cause the Wilson Charitable Foundation to bleed? Let's wait and see!"

The host's words caused a burst of good-natured laughter, and everyone in the audience knew that it was just a joke. The Wilson Charitable Foundation has a lot of money, and a mere 5 million yuan is nothing to them. Even if two more zeros are added to the end, they can easily take it.

However, the host was indeed a master of stirring up the atmosphere, and as soon as he said this, three guests donated their jewelry and gold watches to participate in the auction.

Compared to the previous lots, these three lots are more high-end. Just these three pieces sold for 500,000 yuan. This also makes the atmosphere even more enthusiastic, and the total amount is likely to exceed five million if it continues at this rate.

Since the auction began, Xiao Ping has been sitting quietly beside Zhang Yuxin, and his eyes have never taken his eyes off her. For Xiao Ping. Compared with this charity auction, Zhang Yuxin, who is rarely dressed so sexy, is undoubtedly more attractive. Xiao Ping's eyes wandered back and forth on Zhang Yuxin, and he really couldn't get enough of it.

Although he was stared at by Xiao Ping like this. It also made Zhang Yuxin feel a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do about him. The only thing Zhang Yuxin could do was to glare at Xiao Ping fiercely from time to time. Remind him not to let his gaze be too presumptuous.

Coincidentally, Liu Li and Fang Xingping's seats were at the table next to Xiao Ping and them. There was just a corridor between the four of them.

Seeing Xiao Ping and Zhang Yuxin's eyebrows, the jealousy in Liu Li's heart was also burning. It has been Liu Li's long-standing dream to be able to overpower Zhang Yuxin, and Liu Li, who was carried away by jealousy, could still endure it, stood up and said loudly in the middle of the auction: "I will donate this pearl necklace to the auction!"

Immediately, a waiter came over and sent Liu Li's necklace on a tray to those experts for identification. After several experts carefully looked at the necklace, one of them loudly announced: "The reserve price of this pearl necklace is ...... 200,000 RMB!"

After the price was announced, a low exclamation immediately sounded at the charity auction site. The reserve price of the necklace is 200,000 yuan, which is already the most expensive lot today.

Hearing this offer, Liu Li was really proud. She stood there and looked around slowly, her haughty gaze slowly sweeping over the guests, enjoying the feeling of being noticed and in the spotlight. For Liu Li, who loves vanity, this moment is simply too wonderful.

Of course, Liu Li has not forgotten the opponent she has wanted to defeat for many years - Zhang Yuxin. She deliberately twisted her waist and came to Zhang Yuxin's side under the gaze of everyone, and said coquettishly: "Yuxin, don't forget our agreement, if you can't get a better pearl necklace than this for a while, your boyfriend will be mine!"

In fact, the original bet between the two was not like this, even if Zhang Yuxin lost, Xiao Ping was just accompanying Liu Li to go shopping and eat. But Liu Li knows Zhang Yuxin's character very well, and knows that she will never argue with herself on such an occasion, so she deliberately said so.

Liu Li looked at Zhang Yuxin condescendingly, and the pride in her heart couldn't be expressed in words. Although she had a bright smile on her face, there was a vicious thought in her heart: "Zhang Yuxin...... The old lady not only wants you to make a fool of yourself in public, but also wants to break you up with this little white face! Hmph, I've talked about this, you won't be able to get a better necklace for a while, and you will have the face to be with him in the future?"

The facts were as Liu Li expected, Zhang Yuxin didn't bother to argue with her in front of everyone at all. Although she was very dissatisfied with Liu Li saying this, Zhang Yuxin, who was proud in her heart, only nodded slightly, even in response to Liu Li's words.

Liu Li has also been in the shopping mall for so many years, and she is naturally very particular about her means. Her words seemed to be said to Zhang Yuxin alone, but her voice was slightly louder, and she "accidentally" let the surrounding guests hear it.

For a while, the eyes of the surrounding guests were all focused on Xiao Ping and the three of them, and many people looked at Xiao Ping with a little more contempt in their eyes.

In everyone's opinion, since Zhang Yuxin and Liu Li can bet on Xiao Ping, then this man must be a soft eater. If Xiao Ping was a man with a successful career, how could he tolerate his girlfriend doing such a thing? On the contrary, there were two lonely middle-aged ladies who were very interested in Xiao Ping, and they threw him a flattering look at him on the table, and Xiao Ping shuddered when he saw it.

Fang Xingping, who was next to him, also heard Liu Li's words, and felt that he had waited for an opportunity to retaliate, so he deliberately said in a strange tone: "It turned out to be a little white face who eats by his body, no wonder he has so much strength, but it's a pity...... I'm going to lose my job soon!"

Xiao Ping was angry when he heard these mean words, he quietly took a toothpick from the table, and flicked his fingers at Fang Xingping under the table. The tooth issued a soft "snort" sound, and shot straight at Fang Xingping, piercing his ass impartially.

"Oops!" Fang Xingping scolded happily with his eyebrows, and immediately jumped up with a scream.

A small half of the toothpick pierced into Fang Xingping's buttocks, and this guy couldn't care about being polite under the pain, so he pouted his big ass in public and reached out for a while, and finally found the toothpick that was pierced on his buttocks.

"What is it?" Fang Xingping finally pulled out the foreign object on his buttocks, and when he saw the things in his hand clearly, he couldn't help but say loudly: "It's a toothpick, who did this?"

Several guests next to Fang Xingping looked at the bloody toothpicks with disgust, and shook their heads one after another, saying that this matter had nothing to do with them. Fang Xingping didn't doubt them, but stared at Xiao Ping tightly and shouted: "It must be you!"

Of course, Xiao Ping would not admit that he did this, he looked at the angry Fang Xingping with a sneer, and finally gently spit out two words: "Idiot!"

Fang Xingping, who was scolded, was simply furious, but he didn't have the courage to rush up and make a move on Xiao Ping, standing in place in a dilemma for a while, looking particularly embarrassed.

Seeing that the surrounding guests were all amusefully watching Fang Xingping make a fool of himself, Liu Li also felt very embarrassed. However, Fang Xingping is the big money owner she finally caught, and she can't just throw it away, so she can only go over and help him sit down on the chair.

After Fang Xingping's trouble, Liu Li's good self-feeling just now was gone. She glared at the auctioneer who was looking over angrily and asked loudly, "Sir, can we start the auction?"

"Auction?oh, yes, of course!" The auctioneer was watching the show with relish, and was asked by Liu Li before he came back to his senses and said loudly: "Now start the auction of the pale pink pearl necklace donated by this lady, the reserve price is 200,000 yuan, you can bid!"

"Two hundred and one thousand!" the auctioneer had just finished speaking, and someone had already made a bid.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Li's pearl necklace is really good, the size of the pearls is basically the same, full and round, which is close to the standard of walking beads. Coupled with the lustrous luster and the not-so-high reserve price, many of the ladies present were moved. So everyone's bid is much more active than before, and after more than ten rounds of bidding, someone has already offered a price of 300,000. (To be continued......)
