Chapter 488: Charity Auction

Cheong Wa Dae is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers and trees, and the scenery is very good as you enter from the gate and wind up.

After dinner, Lee Chung-hee and the crew entered the Blue House.

Of course, the president's office and the like are not allowed to enter, the crew entered the welcome building next to it, and the filming was also a dinner in the presidential palace, with all kinds of high-ranking officials and celebrities.

Of course, in addition to the fact that the food is real, including the president, other celebrities are fake, this is a TV series, and Mr. President will not participate in this no matter how polite he is.

The president of South Korea is not the president of the United States, and the culture is different, and the style is different.

It was fake on the Seoul side, but a few days later in New York, although there was no Mr. President present, all kinds of celebrities gathered were real.

Lee Chung-hee was back here between shoots for the launch of his new book, "The Twilight Zone," and tonight, he was invited to a charity dinner and auction.

It's the middle of October, the weather in New York is a little cool, Lee Chung-hee is wearing slacks and a unique style of wool sweater, and his female companion Scarlett Johansson is wearing a grass-green dress for dinner, and her high chest is covered by bright roses, but the red and white contrast is very attractive.

"Hello, Mr. Senator, hello, Mr. Raft!" After Lee Chung-hee came in, he kept greeting people until he had a round of shopping, and then he stopped and took a breath.

Scarlett Johansson had been following him, smiling, and at this time she was half-lying on top of him, complaining in a coquettish voice, "It's really boring." His face froze. I really admire those guys who are smiling all the time and wandering around the room! ”

"To survive." Lee Chung-hee smiled faintly.

It's more difficult to be a star, and keeping a smile is a basic requirement, the most famous are Kim Jong-min and Kwon Ji-ryong.

Kim Jong-min himself said that when he debuted, the company's representative told him that it didn't matter if he was embarrassed, angry, or something else. Outside, just laugh directly, which is why he has always given people a silly image since then.

It's not that he won't be angry, embarrassed, or complaining, it's just that he rarely shows it.

He is definitely not stupid, but he knows how to protect himself better and is more careful.

Think if he's really stupid. How can he have been popular in the Korean entertainment industry for so many years, and he has always been there.

To know. He just can dance, sing because his voice can't work, perhaps, his funny talent is okay, but he is the kind that has been given.

He was able to survive so well, and even feed Gao Yaotai's other members, which is remarkable in itself.

The same is true for Quan Zhilong, people outside the circle don't know, insiders have heard some rumors, he is just like many people, he has learned to use a smile to look at all kinds of feelings.

Therefore, all everyone saw was his smile.

This has also caused many people in the Korean entertainment industry to imitate it in order to hide their true feelings.

No way, the entertainment industry is too cruel, especially in South Korea, if you are not careful, you will give people all kinds of attacks, and if you don't do it, you will sink down, so Korean artists are particularly cautious in this regard.

Scarlett Johansson is a relatively straightforward person, and because of Lee Chung-hee, she can be said to have no pressure to survive, so she can live more freely.

Lee Chung-hee has experienced all kinds of sadness, so he knows more about them, so he can tolerate them.

In a word, everyone comes out to eat, as long as there is no injustice and no hatred, then there is nothing to worry about.

"Wait a minute, the auction will be more interesting!" Lee Chung-hee coaxed her, "If you see something you like, tell me!" ”

"Where is there anything good in the charity auction," Scarlett Johansson pouted, and then put his arm around him coquettishly: "It's better for you to go with me to play, this time, you must stay with me for a few more days, and no other vixen is allowed!" ”

Li Zhengxi was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to stay on this topic for long, and returned to the previous one again, "That's not necessarily, charity auctions, some of them are good things donated by some people, which are not only precious, but also very commemorative!" ”

"Boring," Scarlett Johansson pouted, then rolled her eyes, deliberately rubbed him a few times, and said coquettishly, "Go back, I'm so tired, it's good to sleep!" ”

Li Zhengxi was happy and pinched her gorgeous little face, "Haven't you eaten enough in the afternoon, how can you say no at that time!" ”

No matter how bold it was, Scarlett Johansson was a little shy at this time, and gently smacked him, but her body leaned on him more lazily.

It wasn't until he saw someone coming over that he pouted dissatisfiedly and stood up.

She was not a lady either, and she did not get along with the princess-like ladies and ladies brought by the others, and even those people looked down on her, thinking that she was nothing more than a play.

This made her stay by Lee Chung-hee's side.

But when someone comes, she gets bored, and the problem is that Lee Chung-hee is talking to these people, and she really doesn't understand.

It's not all about politics and the economy, but some golf, hunting, yachting, and even arms and oil, and she can't intervene at all.

What's even more annoying is that sometimes they use French and other languages, and she is even more blind.

Fortunately, after more than an hour, this side finally ended, or rather, the time for private chat ended, and the charity auction began.

"Look at what they are!"

Scarlett Johansson, who got the auction list, casually glanced at it, then leaned into Lee Chung-hee's ear and muttered with laughter.

Charity auctions, which themselves auction some of everyone's personal belongings, if it is an auction of some celebrities or celebrities, to be honest, except for brainless fans, those things are really worthless.

And Lee Chung-hee, a charity auction for super celebrities, is relatively valuable.

For example, Lee Chung-hee also took out his own things, one of which was a watch he used to wear, which was given to him by a friend of his father when he was 15 years old and went to Harvard Business School to study for a doctorate in economics.

Jaeger-LeCoultre's brand, more than 2,000 US dollars, this price is not cheap, in this world, tens of thousands of dollars, or hundreds of thousands, that is only worn by the super-rich.

For example, Lee Chung-hee is wearing a Patek Philippe now, but it is only about 100,000, and he has a lot of watches and changes them frequently.

But before, he was wearing an old-fashioned, Korean brand watch that his father gave him, which was very early and very cheap, about 10,000 won, that is, less than 10 US dollars.

Of course, the $10 price at that time has multiplied many times now.

That watch meant a lot to him, but it was the one from Jaeger-LeCoultre, and although it was new, he didn't actually wear it much, and he didn't wear it anymore.

However, after the original more than 2,000 watches passed through his hands, the current price is not the same.

This feature is also reflected in the entire charity auction.

The people who came took nothing ordinary.

"There's wine too!" Lee Chung-hee said to Scarlett Johansson with a smile, pointed to the one on the roster, and then pointed to the necklace below, "See, this is still the gemstone earrings that Mrs. Kennedy wore before!" ”

"Not uncommon!" Scarlett Johansson is no ordinary person right now.

What kind of people you mix with, what kind of taste will it be, Lee Chung-hee is also super rich, how can Scarlett Johansson see less, all kinds of precious jewelry, all kinds of antique paintings, she has seen them, and.

Naturally, the horizon is also high.

Charity auctions are different from regular auctions, and are more relaxed and free.

At this time, a box wrapped in golden tin paper was brought to it, and the host of the auction, Sir Lydon, said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good thing, truffles, and it is made by Fritz, a world-famous chocolatier in Denmark, and there are only a hundred boxes in the world."

…… The design and ingredients are unique, the rare French black truffle, coated with delicious Valrhona dark chocolate, with rich fresh cream, sugar, truffle oil and vanilla, together to create a chocolate ganache, forming an incomparable taste in the world

…… With just one sip, you'll be melted into a world of sweetness in a 100-ounce package with a floor price of $10,000 and a $1,000 increase each time. ”

Lee Chung-hee is a foodie, and women probably have little resistance to chocolate.

Therefore, Lee Chung-hee's eyes lit up, and Scarlett Johansson put his arm around him and said, "I like this!" ”

also bit his ear, and said greasyly: "After taking pictures, I will feed you tonight, not only with my mouth, but also in other special ways, how about it, are you moved!" ”

Without her to say, Lee Chung-hee was moved.

Moreover, charity auctions always cost money, and they need to be generous.

For example, his watch was sold for more than 200,000 US dollars just now, although the noble lady who took the picture was excited, and she knew that she was a fan of him at a glance, and she seemed to have taken a photo with him before and asked for an autograph.

But that's one of the features of this charity auction.

Therefore, Lee Chung-hee quickly raised his hand and said directly: "One hundred thousand!" ”

The others had just called for nineteen thousand dollars, and as soon as he raised the price, Sir Laydon became excited, and said loudly, "Vincent is bidding for a hundred thousand, it seems that he really wants to spend a sweet evening with the lady next to him,"

He said this on purpose, and it was also to stimulate the competitive spirit of others, and he went on to say: "Is there anyone else who is willing to give generously for the sake of charity for the lady next to him?" ”

This old fox, Lee Chung-hee slandered in his heart, but Sir Laydon's words still had an effect, and soon someone added a thousand dollars.

Li Zhengxi was also simply, he just wanted to be happy, so he shouted again without hesitation: "150,000!" ”

Suddenly, the others began to die down.

After all, it's just chocolate, and it's not even collectible! (To be continued......)
