Eight to nine o'clock is the time for the reception. At a quarter past nine, the charity auction officially began.

During this period, celebrities from all walks of life gathered in groups to chat about topics from all over the world. But I have to mention that even if these people are chatting, their deep meaning is far more charming than ordinary people's pretending to be profound.

This heritage and connotation cannot be imitated.

It's as if the definition of travel by celebrities with leisure and money is never the same as that of the ordinary middle class, who travel is a busy break, hoping to get out of the overwhelmed work, to relax their nerves, and to recharge for a short time. But the celebrities of high society are different, they go to Letouquet to play golf; Go diving in Malaysia; Go to the best hot springs in Japan; Go swimming in the Spanish Canary Islands. He even spent months in Europe, following the route of the great English travelers of the 18th century. They do this not to gain knowledge, nor to take a break from work, but purely to vent their excess energy.

The starting point, the angle of thinking, the understanding of time and the perspective of things are completely different from the same realm, how can they talk together and barely squeeze into the upper class?

Han Xiaoyi is not a girl who pretends to be cold and noble, she treats all the celebrities who greet her very kindly and calmly, although she doesn't know most of the celebrities who come, can't even call each other's names, and doesn't remember if they have met. But in the staggered competition for most of the hour, the girl still talked and laughed with these people generously and decently, and did not let the other party feel left out or despised at all.

Just ask. How many beautiful girls can talk to strangers they don't know at all and still keep smiling?

How many beautiful girls with good family backgrounds can chat with countless strangers and maintain enough patience?

Han Xiaoyi withstood it.

Although Lin Ze, who was holding her arm, could sense that the girl's cheeks were slightly stiff because of the reserved smile, she still maintained a sweet smile.

Girl—is this the life you accept without complaint? Will you really like it and be happy?

At a quarter past nine, the auction finally began.

When the celebrities were looking for their seats to prepare for the next auction, Han Xiaoyi also put down the glass of red wine, put her pink tongue against her cheek, and muttered, "I'm tired to death." ”

"I just did the math for you." Lin Ze drank all the red wine in the cup and smiled bitterly. "You've had a brief conversation with forty-eight celebrities for more than half an hour."

"After the auction is over, if anyone tries to challenge my patience, Miss Ben will kick his balls." Han Xiaoyi said resentfully.

"Where's the woman?" Lin Ze teased.

"Pinch and explode Mimi!" Han Xiaoyi said domineeringly.

“――”

Such a large-scale charity auction is also very particular about the seating arrangement. For example, the daughters of super wealthy families like Han Xiaoyi and Chen Xueqin may sit in a backward position?

It's definitely impossible.

Not only do they sit at the front, but they also have a great view. Among these hundreds of people, it is one of the top seats.

Lin Ze, under the shadow of the eldest lady of the Han family, also followed and sat in a position with an excellent viewing angle and was almost surrounded by celebrities from all sides.

After taking a seat, Han Xiaoyi finally got a moment to rest, but the auction venue in front of him started the first round of auctions after five minutes of nonsense from the host.

I don't know if the organizers saw that the celebrities present were all gold owners, or wanted to create an auction atmosphere, the first auction item was a precious blue and white jar unearthed in the Tang Dynasty. Prices start at one million. Each jump price is 100,000.

When the first auction item was sent to the auction table, the young ladies in the audience who were still a little immature in the city government were ready to move.

"One million and one million!"

A young girl in a plain white dress was the first to hold up a sign.

Looking at this girl's appearance, words and deeds, I am afraid that I would like to take down this blue and white jar.

"One and a half million." Another young girl followed with a sign.

As soon as she raised her card, the first girl who shouted the price glanced at the girl who was competing with her. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "One and a half million." ”

"One million and three million."

"One million and four million."

“――”

After several battles, this blue and white jar was finally auctioned by the girl who first shouted the price at a price of 2 million. But the expression on her face was not as serene as it had been. Instead, she glanced at the girl she was bidding with with a little resentment. On the other hand, another girl who missed the blue and white jar did not show half of her disappointment. I'm afraid I'm not interested in this blue and white jar at all. shouted the price, just to make it difficult for the girl who was very interested.

"A pair of enemies." Lin Ze was furious.

The bidding of the first auction item showed a bit of gunpowder, and the next auction items quickly made each other look at each other, or secretly competed from time to time.

Under the open and secret struggle, several auction items were won by the wealthy Kuo Shaoqianjin. And the smell of gunpowder has become more and more intense, although the young daughters in the audience are still polite on the surface, they are already gearing up in their bones.

"Next up for auction is a century-old sea willow cigarette holder, made from the most precious blood willow. According to experts, there are less than 100 of these Seawillow mouthpieces in the world. It's a rare cigarette holder. If you are interested, you can look through the information in hand, the starting price is two million. The price increase is 200,000. Bidding is now open. ”

"Three million!"

Chen Xueqin, the second lady of the Chen family, who has not participated from the opening to the present, suddenly raised her card. And shouted out the price of three million. For a while, a lot of dollars were shocked.

In fact, three million may take a lifetime for ordinary people to earn, but for these young women who are qualified to sit here, three million is only the price of a sports car. It's not cheap, but it's not so expensive that you can't afford it.

What shocked them was that the auction had only started for a short time, why could this second lady of the Chen family sit still so quickly?

According to the law of previous years, shouldn't the auction in the early stage be a battlefield for them who are second-rate and have few dollars? As soon as you, the top daughter, play, who will compete with you?

Really. Chen Xueqin raised her card, and many young daughters who sharpened their knives and had smoking habits immediately became honest.

Even if they offer a higher price, it depends on who is holding the card. Miss Chen! The top daughter who just fought with the eldest lady of the Han family and held back the fire in her belly. Who dares to be bored?

After Chen Xueqin raised her card indifferently, seeing that no one was fighting with her, her mood, which had been depressed for several days, finally improved.

"Three million for the first time!" The auction host hammers for the first time. His eyes swept over the group of young ladies present, and he almost didn't hesitate at all, and immediately struck the hammer a second time. "Three million for the second time!"

The auction host is definitely not so easy to be as imagined, not only to grasp the situation, but also to grasp the overall situation and create a bidding atmosphere.

For example, if an item is difficult to win or lose when two strong bidders are deadlocked, the auction host needs to rely on solid skills to stimulate these two bidders to increase the price. Generally speaking, a good auction host can influence the mood of bidders to a certain extent.

And to be able to host such a large-scale auction party, this host's skills are naturally not shallow. But at this moment, he had no desire to stir up the atmosphere at all. Gaine - The one who shouted the price was Chen Xueqin, the second lady of the Chen family, a time-honored wealthy family in Yanjing.

How many of these people here have the strength to compete with her?

Even if there are those who have the strength, who wants to fight with her for a bloody time?

So the presenter prepared the third hammer at a very fast pace.

"Three two hundred and twenty thousand!"

Just as the auction host was about to strike the hammer for the third time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

The host looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that the person holding the sign was the eldest lady of the Han family, so he smiled and said: "Miss Han shouted 3.2 million yuan, which is higher than Miss Han-"

"Four million!"

Before the host finished speaking, Chen Xueqin raised the card again. This time, she raised her card more quickly, and her tone became slightly colder.

"Four million two hundred thousand." Han Xiaoyi always had a sweet smile on her face, and raised her card lightly.

"Wow-"

There was a slight commotion at the auction site. The gang of young daughters could see that these two enemies were fighting again. In this way, the conflict between the two top ladies in Yanjing that I heard last time in the study club is not a rumor, but it is true!

Thinking of this, the young ladies present held their hands on their chests and enjoyed the auction as onlookers.

I don't have the ability to fight with these two top ladies, but I still have the confidence to watch the show.

"Five million!" Chen Xueqin's tone had become unkind. The knife-like gaze glanced at Han Xiaoyi, who was not far from her, from time to time.

Han Xiaoyi paused, his movement of holding the card was slightly sluggish, and he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Lin Ze, do you want this century-old cigarette holder?" ”

“――”

Brother Xiaolin really wanted to cover his face and rush out.

I miss your sister!

I want your sister!

Do you know that you and Chen Xueqin fought to the death, but my Xiaolin brother was worried about his life, for fear that your contradictions would escalate again.

Okay, you can't fight, and now you're still running over to ask me? Isn't that pushing me into the fire pit? Is there an employer like you? My little brother doesn't live with you anywhere, does he? In addition to occasionally scolding you for having a flat chest, it can be regarded as protecting you with all my heart. As for this for me?

Lin Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to pretend that he didn't hear, but looking at the girl's attentive eyes, his palms were full of cold sweat and said, "Can I be silent?" ”

"I can't." Han Xiaoyi shook his head.

"But I don't have the habit of using a cigarette holder when I smoke—" Brother Xiaolin said aggrievedly.

"You can get used to spitting and spitting, not to mention it's just a cigarette holder." Han Xiaoyi said.

"I—"

"Ten million!" Han Xiaoyi suddenly sat up straight and decisively raised his card.
