Chapter 65: Conflict
At night, Li Yan got out of the hotel again, took a taxi, and came to the convention and exhibition center. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Different from the serious atmosphere during the day, the charity gala at night is obviously much more relaxed.
Waiters walk around with wine trays and deliver glasses of champagne to guests. Western-style buffets are carefully arranged around the venue, so that people can enjoy the temptation of food while chatting.
There was no one Li Yan knew in the venue, and after a few boring turns around with a wine glass, he stopped, stood in front of the buffet table, and ate as if no one was around.
"Well, this dim sum is still good, it tastes soft and delicious, and it leaves a fragrant taste. Not bad, one more! Commenting on the buffet on the table, Li Yan took champagne and almost swept them all into his stomach.
"Where's the hillbilly! I actually ran here to eat and drink! Li Yan, who was eating Haisai, frowned, wiped his greasy fingers, and turned to look behind him.
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be Mr. Fu! The person who came was Fu Xiatao, who had united with his peers before and was ready to encircle and suppress Li Yan, "What, are you hungry too?" This snack is not bad, why don't you try it? ā
"You know me?" Fu Xiatao obviously didn't expect Li Yan to know him, and he was a thief, so he suddenly guessed if Li Yan had noticed what he had planned.
Seeing the panicked look on Fu Xiatao's face, Li Yan raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course, Mr. Fu is a well-known business senior. If a boss doesn't know the 'vice president', how can he manage his own company! ā
At first, Fu Xiatao thought that Li Yan was just saying polite words to him and complimenting him. However, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Frowning, Fu Xiatao said, "Vice President? Which 'VP'? ā
"I don't know what other people's vice presidents are called, I only know that the vice president of our company is called Luo Li. Why, Mr. Fu, do you know her too? ā
At this time, even the people watching around understood the meaning of Li Yan's words, and several guests with low laughter even burst out laughing directly.
However, they immediately realized that this was a mockery against Xia Tao, so they immediately suppressed their smiles and tried their best to hold back. However, the flushed faces and the twitching shoulders showed that their inner smile did not stop.
And Li Yan's ridicule just hit Fu Xiatao's pain point. Because of the particularity of the surname, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is the class president when he was a student or the boss after doing business, this old stalk that has not changed for thousands of years will always become the laughing point of others, and it will be taken out as a joke from time to time.
It wasn't until his business grew bigger and became a small force that people gradually reined in, for fear of angering Fu Xiatao.
At this time, Li Yan's old matter was brought up again, and this scar was once again revealed, Fu Xiatao, who had not been ridiculed for many years, suddenly became angry, and the worry just now was also thrown out of the clouds, pointing at Li Yan and saying angrily: "Hillbilly!" Keep your mouth clean or I'll rip it off for you!" ā
"Oh, that's amazing!" Li Yan stared at Fu Xiatao, and walked towards him slowly, "I, the person who hates being threatened the most!" Since what you said is so powerful, let's make two strokes to see whose mouth is torn off first! ā
"Y-What do you want to do!"
"Tear your mouth off, of course! Isn't that what you said? ā
"Guards! Guard! Hurry up! Then this troublesome hillbilly blasted me out! Fu Xiatao, who was very inward-looking, looked at Li Yan who was approaching step by step, and suddenly panicked and urgently asked for help.
"What are you doing?" A majestic voice with a slight hint of anger came from behind the crowd.
The guards who came separated the crowd, Yang Qishan walked in slowly with a gloomy face, staring at the two of them with unkind eyes, "Who called the guard?" What happened? ā
"Mr. Yang!" Fu Xiatao stepped forward quickly, and the wicked person sued first, "It's him, it's him who makes trouble again!" ā
"Li Yan? Why are you here? ā
"Come get something to eat, but unfortunately I'm more like a hillbilly and want to out." Shrugging his shoulders, Li Yan explained.
"What the hell is going on!" Turning his head to look at Fu Xiatao, Yang Qishan's face already had a trace of anger.
As one of the main organizers of the forum, Yang Qishan is, in a sense, equivalent to the host of this party. made trouble at the master's house, and it was clear that he would not give him face, of course Yang Qishan would be angry and his tone was not good.
Fu Xiatao didn't expect Yang Qishan to actually know Li Yan, his face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I just made a joke with Mr. Li!" ā
"Are you kidding?" Looking at Fu Xiatao, who was rapidly turning around, Li Yan grinned and said with a smile: "Yes! It's a joke! Mr. Fu's joke is really funny! ā
"Since it's a joke, then don't surround it, let's disperse!" Li Yan and Fu Xiatao's clumsy acting skills naturally can't fool Yang Qishan, but it's not right or wrong, and he can't judge it. Since the two of them have already been sloppy and have not entangled in this matter, Yang Qishan will naturally not hold on to it.
After waving his hand and waving away the crowd of onlookers, Yang Qishan nodded at Li Yan, turned around and returned to the banquet.
glaring at Li Yan fiercely, Fu Xiatao snorted: "Boy, let's see!" ā
"Then we'll see!"

The small episode did not affect the normal progress of the party, and after the staggered planning, the highlight of tonight, the charity auction, will officially begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's charity auction, which aims to ...... poor children in mountainous areas."
It was still the host named Wang Ze, who made a sensational speech that was appropriate to the occasion and won the warm applause of the guests present.
"Please invite the auctioneer of this auction, Mr. Li Wei!"
Since it is a charity auction, although the main purpose is not to make a profit, the most critical auctioneer still has to have. Moreover, the reaction of the people under the stands, this Li Wei seems to be a celebrity.
"Li Wei? Is that Guardian's ace auctioneer? ā
"That's him! He auctioned tens of millions of auction items! The organizer was able to invite him, it seems that he has made a lot of money! ā
With the start of the auction, Li Yan and others, under the leadership of the staff, also moved from the hall to the pre-arranged conference venue.
"Sir, this is your number plate, please take it!"
As a result, the waiter handed over a plastic number plate, and Li Yan glanced at it, which seemed to be a bidding number plate used to quote at the auction.
"No. 66, the number is pretty good!" However, Li Yan had no intention of bidding, and after taking a few glances at the number plate, he put it beside him.
"Hello everyone, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Li Wei!" After a brief introduction, the auctioneer got straight to the point and got straight to the point, "Okay, without further ado, now please come to our first lot!" ā
"This is the collection of Mr. Su Wei, the organizer of this forum, the president of Nagato Technology, and the herring jade......"
This auctioneer named Li Wei is worthy of being the trump card invited from Guardian for a lot of money, and his eloquence is amazing. A piece of jadeite that was originally of average quality was praised into a rare treasure.
"Alright, the lot has been introduced, now the bidding begins. The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 each time! Begin! ā
"100,000!"
"110,000!"
"130,000!"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Looking at the rich people who made repeated moves and kept raising prices, Li Yan pursed his lips disdainfully. Their purpose can be guessed by everyone present, it is not really for any charity, but to leave a good impression on the provider of the lot, Su Wei, who is in the position of president of Nagato Technology.
Like Warren Buffett's lunch, what everyone really wants is not the usual lunch, nor do they really want to discuss any business issues with Buffett. All they want is a reputation, an impression.
A reputation that can be boasted about later, an impression that can be remembered by people in high positions, even if only for a few seconds.
For this kind of hypocrisy, Li Yan really can't be interested in echoing it. I took out my phone, opened a puzzle game, and played it as if no one was around.
"The next lot was provided by Ms. Guo Hairu of Yuanhua Pharmaceutical. This is a complete set of women's jewelry, including items such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, etc. The jewels are made in white gold and are handcrafted by French masters. Exquisite, exquisite, and a rare piece of perfect jewelry! The starting price is 150,000, and each increase shall not be less than 5,000, start! ā
"150,000!"
"160,000!"
"180,000!"
"185,000!"
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The competition in this set of jewelry is fiercer than the previous ones. First, because its own material, carving and other aspects are really good, it is a thing that can be started. Second, most of the male guests attending the meeting were accompanied by a beautiful lady, as for whether it was a wife, let's not mention it for the time being, but since the lot is a woman's favorite jewelry, for the sake of Pomeranians, those men naturally have to pretend to be generous!
"250,000!"
The sudden high price made the originally competitive venue temporarily stagnate. Li Yan, who was having fun, was also attracted by this familiar voice, frowned slightly, and turned to look to the side.
"It's him, Fu Xiatao?"
