Chapter 19 Charity Auctions
"I'm glad you came to your senses. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Krestina smiled sweetly: "But can you tell me what made you change so much in one day?" ”
"The reason... Hehe," Zhou Yu looked at the girl's beautiful side face and said, "Actually, I've always hated you, you know." ”
"Why?" Krestina slammed on the brakes, her brow furrowed.
"Why?" Zhou Yu smiled: "Because of your previous behavior, you touched my secret." ”
"Special substances? Mystical elements? Krestina furrowed.
"Yes." The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled: "That's it!" ”
"I should have guessed it a long time ago." Krestina exhales: "This farm has been declining in profits for many years, and the yield of high-quality fruit is getting lower and lower. Why does the soil change as soon as you come? Fruit is mutated? This is not a natural cause, but man-made. ”
Then asked Zhou Yu: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" If you say that it is your method that transforms the soil and causes the plants to change, then I will not break your secret. Anyone has the right to privacy, and in the United States, it is illegal to violate privacy. ”
"Because I'm worried." Zhou Yu opened up and said: "I have just arrived, but I have a secret about huge interests in my hands, you say, will anyone think about it?" Should I keep it a secret? ”
"It's true." Krystina couldn't help but nod, "But why are you telling me now?" Is it compensation for previous attitudes? ”
"Number one, I think you're beautiful, and beautiful women are always privileged, aren't they?"
"Uh-huh." Krees, you are holding the pretending force, and a pair of murder weapons on your chest are almost half squeezed out of your dress!
"Second, I'm sure you won't tell my secret."
"You believe me?" Christina laughed and trembled: "I've been a big mouth since I was a child, and I can't hide secrets in my heart. ”
"It's okay," Zhou Yu stepped forward, and his mouth was in her ear: "As long as I take you down and become my person." ”
"Haha..." Kristina smiled even more happily, she didn't care about Zhou Yu's actions, she turned her face sideways, and her red lips were only half a centimeter away from Zhou Yu: "Come on." ”
Zhou Yu couldn't stand it anymore next time, and hurriedly pulled away: "Okay, I'm not kidding that I'm not your opponent." ”
Then he said: "Actually, if you want to talk about this secret, I don't know the principle very well. In the words of Great Xia, it means knowing what it is and not knowing why. I'm ready to work with you and research together, what do you think? ”
In fact, the so-called secret, that is, the so-called special substance, is probably already a semi-public thing. In addition, Kristina has already started researching, and both Kristina and Lin Quan have speculated and estimated that it is related to Zhou Yu. It doesn't matter if you don't say it.
Just don't show the jade seal ball!
"That's a good idea." Krystina smiled, "Okay, let's work together." But weeks, will you study? ”
"Not now." Zhou Yu said: "But I'm ready to go to college." ”
"Going to college?" Krestina was amazed, "I'll just say, you're so young..."
"I didn't go to college." Zhou Yu said: "Let's drive first, so as not to be late." ”
"Okay."
The car restarted, and Zhou Yu said: "I was in Daxia, that is, right now last year, and I happened to graduate from high school. The conditions at home did not allow it, you know my grandfather, who was not in good health, and I had to give up going to college. ”
"What about your parents?" Krestina asked.
"Parents?" Zhou Yu smiled: "They died in an accident when I was very young. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry." Krestina looked apologetic.
"It's fine." Zhou Yu said: "When I was in the first year of high school, that is, three or four years ago, my grandfather, who raised me, had a stroke and was paralyzed. ”
"And how did you support it?" Christina couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"Don't show that face." Zhou Yu glanced at her: "I hate such a look." ”
"Okay." Krystina hurriedly retracted her expression: "You haven't told me how you survived. ”
"Part-time job." Zhou Yu smiled: "I was sixteen years old at that time. ”
"Oh... But you were still a minor at that time, didn't your country care? Krestina said.
Zhou Yu shook his head, didn't answer this question, and said: "Later, I gave up going to college, so I grew vegetables at home, raised some poultry and the like..."
Very casually, Zhou Yu roughly talked about some of his experiences.
Let Krystina get to know him more deeply.
"When I was your age, I was still going to school, and I was crazy all day long, without sorrow, without worry." Krestina's gaze flickered, "I think you're amazing. ”
Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile: "Maybe." ”
chatting all the way, at seven o'clock, I entered the city of Los Angeles.
The red Ferrari is a sight to behold, especially with a beautiful woman in it. Everywhere you go, especially when you are stuck in traffic or waiting for a traffic light, there are whistles around one after another.
But Krestina is really tough enough, she scolded directly, and Fakfak kept going, so that Zhou Yu had a new understanding of her.
Finally, at 7:50 a.m., we arrived at the venue of the charity auction.
Hilton Hotel.
The time of the charity auction was eight o'clock, and I was not late.
After getting out of the car, Christina naturally took Zhou Yu's arm, and the two Shi Shiran entered the hotel and went outside the hall where the charity party was held.
He handed over the invitation and walked in.
The crowd was already bustling.
The men are all suits and leather shoes, and the women are all party dresses, which look very formal, gathering in groups of three or five, holding wine glasses, and chatting in low voices.
Waiters carry drinks and push food trucks through it, and there are many buffets around the sides of the area.
The arrival of Krestina has attracted the attention of many people.
Many people came up to greet her, and they seemed to know each other well.
As for Zhou Yu, by Christina's side, he also met a lot of people. In particular, there is a lot of energy, and Kristina also introduced it to Zhou Yu.
"Tina."
A middle-aged man walked over with a wine glass.
Brown hair, sunken eye sockets, big nose, black suit, white shirt, this is Zhou Yu's first impression of this person. To be honest, many Americans in Zhou Yu's eyes are the same as Chinese Americans in the eyes of Americans, without a three-dimensional image and very flat.
"Daddy!"
Krestina let go of Zhou Yu's arm, the smile on her face bloomed like a flower, threw herself into the man's arms, and then kissed him on the face.
Brian Moynihan.
Zhou Yu immediately knew who it was.
He did not expect that the chief consul of the Bank of America would come to participate in such a charity auction.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Brian said a word to his daughter, and then stretched out his hand to Zhou Yu.
"Hello, Mr. Moynihan."
"You're a very nice lad," Moynihan said, "Your fruit tastes so good and it's so nutritious that it's become an essential part of my daily diet!" ”
"Thank you." Zhou Yu smiled: "If there was no Krestina, it wouldn't have gone so well." ”
Moini Khan chatted with Zhou Yu for a few words, touched a glass with him, and then left.
"My dad is fine, isn't he?"
Krestina said on the side.
"Well, I don't know your dad." Zhou Yu told the truth.
"Can't you tell me something nice?" Krestina wrinkled her nose.
"By the way, why did your dad come to a small charity auction like this?" Zhou Yu hurriedly opened the topic and asked, "This doesn't match his identity, right?" ”
"You can't say that." Christina said: "There is no big or small problem for any capitalist to do charity. Of course, in general, a small charity auction like this, many high-status people will not necessarily come, but they will definitely donate some Franklin. As for my dad, he came because the organizer had a good relationship with my dad. ”
"I see." Zhou Yu was stunned.
As she spoke, several young men came over and chatted warmly with Christina.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu found that he couldn't plug it in, so he walked to the side.
Staying alone in the corner, holding a glass of red wine, looking at this vanity fair in the name of charity, I can't say I like it, I can't say I like it. All of a sudden, I just felt like an outsider.
After a long while, finally, a voice came from the microphone on the rostrum.
Zhou Yu looked up and saw a kind white old man standing on it: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening." ”
"The world is one, whether you are a capitalist or a poor. We need to pay special attention to children. Children are the future of this world. ”
"Maybe one day, a certain child will become the king of the world, then, what we are doing now, maybe we can be richly rewarded."
"Don't discriminate, don't be merciful, we should make it a worthy cause. Children with disabilities also have the right to survive in this world. ”
The words of this white old man are not humorous, but they make a lot of sense.
At some point, Christina walked up to Zhou Yu and whispered, "His name is Toms, a respectable old man." ”
"This Mr. Toms, at the peak of his career, resolutely invested all his money in the welfare of disabled children. Over the years, I have also been campaigning for children with disabilities..."
Zhou Yu listened to Krestina's words, and also had respect for the old man above.
In this world, there are always some good people.
The same is true of a capitalist society like the United States.
The old man chattered a lot, but it was only for a few minutes. And with that, he went down.
Next up is the auction.
The host went up, and there was no nonsense, and the first auction item was put on the auction table.
Zhou Yu glanced at it, it was a glasses, as if someone had used it for decades.
Zhou Yu was not interested and did not speak. But in the end, the glasses were bought for a sky-high price of 80,000 US dollars.
One after another, seven or eight lots were bought, thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars.
Zhou Yu was a little bored.
Although he doesn't mind doing charity, it is true that there is nothing he wants.
I was about to buy a random one, but I was shocked.
A red stone was brought to the auction table.
"It's a meteorite."
