In fact, Deng Lijun has been very busy recently, and "Faint Love" is the first record she personally participated in the planning, which naturally entrusts many long-term artistic concepts, and this alone can be imagined how it involves energy.

What's more, Deng Lijun also had to look for collaborators in music, calligraphy and painting and other humanities, and Tang Huan gave her a problem, that is, in addition to recording traditional dense records, she also had to release a CD version that represented the latest technology, and the production process became more and more complicated.

If it weren't for He Lili's lobbying under the pretext of "funding activities that have the opportunity to promote girls' education", Deng Lijun might not have found time to attend this event.

Because of her own experience, Deng Lijun is extremely concerned about this public welfare undertaking, she was just a singer before, and she was powerless to change anything, but Tang Huan built a platform for her, so she had a place to use.

In addition to the need for funding, there needs to be a broad consensus on the importance of such funding.

The specifications of this charity auction can be seen from the fact that local business leaders such as Nurbiken will be in attendance.

Deng Lijun feels that it is still very valuable to find an opportunity to make an appeal on this occasion.

It's just that Guo Kongcheng's excessive enthusiasm made her a little uncomfortable, but she is an important participant in this event, and she has to show the necessary respect.

was tired of coping, Deng Lijun found out about it, so she grabbed the strong man, pulled him to his side, and made a buffer light bulb.

"What has Mr. Zhou been busy with lately?" After greetings, Deng Lijun asked casually.

"It's mainly business-side things." Zhou Mi replied while looking at Guo Kongcheng. He could see it from a long distance. This person is not ordinarily courteous to Deng Lijun.

He Lili can be ranked as one of the "Shaw Brothers Twelve Golden Hairpins" in the past. and married into a wealthy family and achieved positive results, naturally he is not a simple character, he is very good at looking at his eyes, and seeing that Zhou Mi is a little bit of stealing the limelight from Guo Kongcheng, he interjected with a smile and took the initiative to introduce each other.

"Mrs. Zhao, I'm glad to meet." Zhou Mi smiled and nodded, and his eyes fell on Guo Kongcheng. "Disrespectful, it turns out that Mr. Guo is the director here, forgive me for being clumsy. It shouldn't take long for you to come to Hong Kong from Malaysia. ”

When Zhou Mi said this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, Deng Lijun and Tang Huan's relationship in 1979 had been hyped up in Xiangjiang for a long time, which alarmed the treasure island.

On the bright side, the relationship has indeed faded, but the suitor also has to weigh whether he has the weight to snatch love. You think you're better than Datang.

"Although it hasn't been for a long time, I have recently heard Mr. Zhou's name very well. The competition between Han and Hongkong for Xiangjiang telephone is extremely exciting. Guo Kongcheng looks quite personable, but there is a kind of domineering and even ridiculous in and out of his words.

Zhou Mi was immediately squeezed by the other party and his old face turned red, this time Han Ding did not fight Land, he already felt embarrassed enough, plus Niu Bijian in order to put gold on his face, increase prestige, and re-establish the image of Jardine Matheson's old British-funded foreign firm, in the media openly and secretly carried out all kinds of cynicism, where is there a thunderous name at all.

"I'm really ashamed to laugh, and I'm really ashamed to talk about it." Thoughtful self-deprecation snorted.

"Lao Zhou, you really lost face this time, and everyone in Xiangjiang saw your joke." Huo Dagongzi, who walked over slowly, patted Zhou Mi's shoulder with a grin, and sprinkled another handful of salt on his wound without any scruples.

Zhou Mi smiled helplessly, and only listened to Huo Dagongzi, who had greeted Guo Kongcheng, continued: "You still don't know the origin of this Mr. Guo, his family is a well-known Asian sugar king in Malaysia, accounting for 80% of the local sugar market. ”

"I see, I'm really lonely." Zhou Mi bowed slightly, recovering his usual wooden expression, but he was sneering in his heart.

What can the son of the sugar king do, you squeezed me, it's just a momentary pleasure, and when Datang comes to Xiangjiang, there will be a lively look.

At the beginning, he almost married Deng Lijun, and even once rushed to the crown to be angry and the official bar of Baodao, the particularity of the relationship between the two can be imagined.

If you are still so stubborn about Deng Lijun, Datang's vinegar jar will definitely be overturned.

Thinking of the thoughtfulness here, a trace of imperceptible weirdness flashed in his eyes.

"Lao Zhou, come here, I'll ask you about something." Huo Dagongzi took Zhou Mi and walked away a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Tang Huan is still on the mainland, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Mi nodded, "When he finishes dealing with the matter at hand, he will come to Xiangjiang next stop." ”

"I heard that the chiefs inspected his company in Yanjing?" Huo Dagongzi continued to ask.

"You're really well-informed." Zhou Mi shook his head with a smile, "What do you want to inquire about, I may not know more than you." ”

"Don't be modest, your sources must be more direct and accurate." Huo Dagongzi is not so easy to fool, and he has been talking to Zhou Mi for a while.

Soon, the charity auction began, and Zhou Mi sat back next to Deng Lijun, and joked with a smile, "If Miss Deng is interested in any auction items, although she clearly said, I have the responsibility to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

The deep meaning of Zhou Mi's words is that in the final analysis, Tang Huan paid for things anyway, and he was 100% borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

But how did Guo Kongcheng know the complicated relationship here, and directly understood that Zhou Mi was also the same as himself, and he was being courteous, and he suddenly frowned unhappily.

This kind of charity auction can't have any rare treasures on display, they are all small objects with a certain characteristic.

Zhou Mi saw a painting of "Cardamom Years" by the Lingnan painter Shan Baiqin, and he remembered that Tang Huan mentioned that Deng Lijun liked such works of art, and if there was a suitable one, he would collect it.

Glancing at Deng Lijun, after seeing that the other party really looked at it seriously, Zhou Mi raised his card and quoted 250,000 yuan, and after the auctioneer shouted three times, he was just about to drop the hammer. Guo Kongcheng suddenly said: "300,000." ”

Zhou Mi was slightly surprised. I casually added 50,000. Guo Kongcheng quickly returned 500,000 yuan.

"Is the other party competing with himself?" Zhou Mi smiled dumbly, and didn't take any further calls, he was just Tang Huan's spokesperson, and the first consideration in doing things was cost-effectiveness, so naturally there was no need to fight with his son-in-law.

As the auction progressed, the host solemnly announced, "In this event, I received a brooch donated by Miss Deng Lijun. This is after Miss Tang's concert at Lincoln Center in New York. The souvenir presented by the Mayor of New York City in recognition of her contribution to cultural exchange is of great significance. Miss Tang took out this item with pain, not only hoping that the donation would be dedicated to girls' education, but also calling on everyone to realize the importance of girls' education. ”

In the warm applause, Deng Lijun got up and smiled in greeting, and the auctioneer immediately shouted, "The starting price is 300,000." ”

"500,000." Huo Dagongzi quoted with a smile.

"Mr. Huo's 500,000." After the auctioneer finished shouting this sentence, his voice suddenly turned high, "1 million, Mr. Guo's 1 million." ”

When I saw Zhou Mi holding up the card. The auctioneer excitedly continued to raise his voice, "Two million. Mr. Zhou's 2 million. ”

Niu Bijian turned his head and glanced at Zhou Mi, and then raised his card.

"2.1 million, Mr. New's 2.1 million." The auctioneer praised with a lotus in his mouth, "Miss Deng's appeal is really great, and so many big people are generous to girls' education." ”

Seeing that Niu Bijian also came to show off, Zhou Mi unceremoniously returned 3 million.

You are an old thing, no matter how famous you are, you are just a worker of Jardine Matheson, I don't believe you have so much spare money to take over.

Sure enough, Niu Bijian spread his hands and retreated.

"3 million, Mr. Zhou's 3 million." The auctioneer didn't expect the scene to be so hot, and he was so excited that his forehead began to sweat.

But the scene that made his adrenaline hormone secretion surge was still to come, and Guo Kongcheng actually reported 5 million.

For a while, no one answered, and it all stopped.

Everyone can see that the young owner of Shangri-Hotel has an unusually strong desire for Deng Lijun.

Usually in this case, the person concerned can be said to be irrational, and his code of conduct cannot be speculated by common sense, and it is simply boring to deal with such a madman.

What's more, this brooch has been auctioned for such a high price, which has far exceeded its own value, and it is definitely a success, and there is no point in continuing.

If it really evolves into a jealous money-throwing game, it will lose the identity of an upper-class celebrity, and Deng Lijun will be disgraced.

In this way, Deng Lijun's souvenir in order to call on everyone to pay attention to girls' education was sold at a sky-high price of 5 million, which became a highlight of this charity auction.

For such a result, Deng Lijun was naturally very surprised.

She is both happy and entangled in her heart, happy that the social issue of girls' education will definitely attract more people's attention; The tangled thing is that Guo Kongcheng did this, and his pursuit of his heart was already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But no matter what, objectively, Guo Kongcheng has definitely made a big contribution.

Therefore, after the auction, Deng Lijun sincerely expressed her gratitude to this standard rich second generation.

"It's nothing, for such a meaningful public welfare activity, to make a modest contribution, is completely within the scope of the matter." Guo Kongcheng smiled faintly, looking light and breezy.

"Miss Deng, I've always wanted to treat you to a meal, and please be sure to appreciate it." After the modesty was over, Guo Kongcheng took the opportunity to send out an invitation, "The Japanese restaurant of our Shangri-Hong Hotel is very distinctive, and I highly recommend it to you." ”

As soon as she heard this, Deng Lijun's face was embarrassed, she was busy making the record "Faint Love", especially the song "Alone in the West Building", the effect was never satisfactory to her, and she really didn't want to be distracted to deal with these complicated social activities.

Seeing this scene, Guo Kongcheng smiled understandingly, "The meal time is set by Miss Deng, or you can wait for you to finish this while." ”

"Thank you Mr. Guo for your understanding." Deng Lijun, who was embarrassed, finally nodded and agreed.

Standing not far away, intending to take care of Deng Lijun's thoroughness, he witnessed the whole process.

He couldn't help frowning, and muttered in his heart, "This guy has a way, wielding a pickaxe and digging up the corners of Datang, this is called an orderly." ”

As an opponent, Zhou Mi gave Guo Kongcheng a not low evaluation.

Later, in the office of the Shangri-Hotel, Guo Kongcheng was also complimented by the henchmen sent by his father to assist.

……

"Young Master, although you have not been in Xiangjiang for a long time, you have adapted to the market environment here very quickly, and the implementation of one plan after another has made our hotel quickly gain popularity and gain a firm foothold after the opening of the strong Xiangjiang River."

"It's nothing, one law leads to ten thousand laws." Guo Kongcheng waved his hand with great ambition.

"Today's charity auction, its success is needless to say, the key is the young master's on-the-spot performance, which can be called a stroke of genius, the decisive 5 million, instantly overwhelming the crowd, especially the person who was stepped on the soles of his feet as a stepping stone, or some time ago he fought inextricably, so that the entire Xiangjiang attracted the attention of Niu Bijian and thoughtful."

"I believe that tomorrow's newspaper, in addition to praising our Kwok's enterprise for its enthusiasm for public welfare, will inevitably mention in passing, how did you make Niu Bijian and Zhou Mi bow down."

"What's even more remarkable about the eldest young master is that he has achieved both public and private interests, and in one fell swoop, he also won Miss Deng's heart, which is estimated to be what the eldest young master values."

Guo Kongcheng, who was scratched on the itch, laughed proudly, and then frowned again, "This Zhou Mi seems to be very familiar with Deng Lijun, what is his specific origin?" ”

"It belongs to the role of a housekeeper, Tang Huan, who is said to be the richest man in the United States, can ask about his business in Xiangjiang."

"The richest man in the United States wants a phone call from Xiangjiang, but he can't compete with Jardine?" Guo Kongcheng asked in surprise.

"The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake. What's more, the United States is so far away, who knows the specific situation, and the newspapers in Xiangjiang are sometimes very unreliable. ”

"However, tomorrow's Xiangjiang newspaper will definitely write a lot about your glorious image, young master."

……

In fact, the Xiangjiang media have reported on Guo Kongcheng's spending of a lot of money, in addition to praising him for his eagerness for justice and charity, and also relish his heroic spirit of chasing women.

After Zhou Mi saw such reports, he frowned deeply, he was just an ordinary acquisition failure, how could he seem to have become a poor egg all of a sudden, and anyone dared to come and step on it.

At this time, Hu Yinmeng called, and said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, Xiangjiang here has always respected Luo Yi first and then people, hurry up and let Tang Huan come back to shake the scene, otherwise I will feel angry when I look at those newspapers infinitely magnifying the failure of the acquisition all day long."
