Chapter 20 Beauty is like jade
In his previous life, Gu Chen experienced almost all the ugliness in the world, and even fell into self-depravity in the last few years of his life, becoming a moth in society, and now although his body has been reborn to his youth, his thoughts cannot go backwards, he looks modest and polite on the surface, and he has a good demeanor, but he knows what he is thinking in his heart. At this time, seeing that Wang Zuxian had a faint trace of excitement on his face, holding a book for him to sign, he immediately smiled slightly, took the book, turned the pages, and took out a pen and brush from his pocket to sign his name.
After handing back the signed book to Wang Zuxian, the party was about to start, Gu Chen looked down the hall and found many familiar faces, not to mention the rich, but as far as the stars are Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, etc., any one of them is at the superstar level.
At this time, He Chaoqiong walked onto the rostrum, with a charming smile on her face and said: "I am very happy that everyone can come to participate in the charity auction party held by me tonight, this charity auction party has received the support of many friends, a total of 21 lots, including jewelry and antiques, and some very commemorative things." All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Red Cross Society of China to help improve medical conditions in remote inland areas of the mainland. Okay, I won't say more nonsense, now I announce that the auction has begun, and the auctioneer has been invited. β
The first auction item was a pearl necklace, donated by a wealthy woman named Guo Fengyi, when the auctioneer shouted out the starting price of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars:
"250,000"
"300,000"
"350,000"
"370,000"
ββ¦β¦β
"460,000"
"470,000"
"470,000 once."
"470,000 twice."
"470,000 three times."
The last pearl necklace was auctioned by a short and fat rich man for 470,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The second auction item is a Hermès limited edition handbag, donated by Anita Mui and signed by her, with a starting price of HK$30,000.
This lot was obviously more attractive than the previous one, and the price climbed as soon as it first started bidding, and after several bids, the price had climbed to 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, and finally it was auctioned by a middle-aged rich man for 210,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it was given to his female companion on the spot.
β¦β¦
The auction continued, during which Liang Wensheng gave birth to several homes, but they were all just meaningful, and nothing was auctioned. And Gu Chen is completely accompanying the prince to study, with a lively mentality, there are many people who are in a similar situation to him, and Wang Zuxian is one of them. Fang Yihua's purpose in bringing her here tonight is the same as Liang Wensheng bringing Gu Chen, which is nothing more than to let her see the world, become familiar with her face, and lay a good foundation for future development.
The whole auction process lasted for an hour and a half, and there were no unsuccessful lots, and a total of 8.21 million yuan was raised. At the end of the charity auction, Pansy Ho announced on the spot that she would personally donate 1.79 million Hong Kong dollars and raise 10 million yuan for charity, which immediately won the applause of everyone present.
After the charity auction, the hotel staff quickly removed the tables and chairs in the center of the hall, and in less than a few minutes, the hall became a Western-style party scene. Liang Wensheng said hello to Cao Hanmin and Gu Chen and walked away, many of the people who came to the party tonight were known to them, and they usually thought that they were busy with work, or they had no chance, and they were rarely able to meet, so they naturally wanted to say hello and contact each other to take advantage of this opportunity. And this is also the reason why Hong Kong's wealthy people are loyal to holding various evening parties.
There was soft and soothing music in the hall, and the celebrities and rich people gathered together in twos and threes to chat, Gu Chen didn't want to join, but because of his personality, he never liked to take the initiative to cater to others, especially men. Because of this, in his previous life, even though he was full of talent, he still struggled step by step.
looked around the hall and found that Wang Zuxian was sitting alone in a corner, so he picked up two glasses of red wine from the tray of the waiter next to him and walked towards Wang Zuxian: "Why are you sitting here alone?" β
Wang Zuxian took the red wine and said with a slight smile: "I have only been in Hong Kong for a short time, and the people here basically don't know each other, and the few people I know are not familiar with each other, so I have to sit by myself, what about you?" How did you get here? β
"Hehe, don't look at me as I'm pretty popular now, in fact, my situation is similar to yours, although I am from Hong Kong, but I lived in Taiwan for the past few years, and I didn't return to Hong Kong until two months ago, so there are so many people here, I don't know a few, don't mind if I sit here."
"Don't mind." Waiting for Gu Chen to sit down, Wang Zuxian tilted his head sideways, and looked at Gu Chen with a pair of bright big eyes: "You are younger than I imagined, eh, you are really only 19 years old?" It's really hard to imagine that you can write so many beautiful songs at such a young age and without even graduating from college. β
"Don't look at me like that, I feel a little weak."
"I'm praising you, what is your heart empty."
"In terms of age, I should still be a little boy, can I not be weak when I am looked at like this by a beautiful woman."
"Don't forget to put gold on your face, don't you know if you look quite mature, if you tell someone that you are 25 years old, I guarantee that no one will not believe you."
"Isn't it too exaggerated, it's the first time someone has said that I look like 25 years old, don't get old and decay first." In fact, Gu Chen knew that although he still looked a little immature, the mature temperament that came out of his thoughts could easily make people have a false impression of his real age.
"Don't talk about this, I haven't asked you how you have been in Hong Kong during this time, and are you still adapting?"
"It's okay, I feel that the environment of the Hong Kong entertainment industry is better than Taiwan, and there are more opportunities than Taiwan, the only bad thing is that the language is a little incomprehensible, and it is rare to meet someone in Hong Kong who speaks Chinese as well as you." Speaking of language barriers, Wang Zuxian was obviously a little depressed, and his good-looking brows were slightly furrowed.
"I think you said it very well, and it should be fine after a while." The 'just now' in Gu Chen's words refers to Wang Zuxian's greeting with Liang Wensheng and Cao Hanmin before the charity auction begins.
"Well, hopefully. By the way, when did you release your second album, the newspaper said that you have already started preparing your first Chinese album, is it true? β
"I've already written all the songs included in the album, and if they are released, it should take a while, and the main task recently is to do a good job in the promotion of the first album, and in a few days I will go to Taiwan to promote it, then Singapore, Malaysia, and maybe then South Korea and Japan."
"Or did you write all the songs in it? That's too powerful, I'd like to hear about it first. Wang Zuxian did not hide his admiration, but Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed under the gaze of Wang Zuxian's shining eyes, and was about to say something, when a voice came from next to him: "What are the two of you talking about, so devoted." β
