As night falls, the convention and exhibition centre by Victoria Harbour is brightly lit, and there are cars and people in front of the door. It is clear www.biquge.info that a grand banquet will be held here tonight.

Although this is just a charity dinner, the momentum at the entrance of the convention and exhibition center is no less than the Academy Awards ceremony. The scarlet carpet covered the entire road, and the spotlights illuminated it almost as bright as day, with dozens of cameras tracking the entire process, and the screams of the crazy fans on both sides of the carpet were almost shocking.

The reason why this charity gala has such a big momentum is that the organizers invited most of the stars in the entertainment industry, so the impact was so sensational. In recent years, the entertainment industry has also become keen on charity activities to add points to the image. This charity gala is to donate money for the protection of the ancient cultural heritage of the mainland, and although most of them are not educated, it does not hinder their enthusiasm to participate in the gala.

Naturally, this kind of party will also politely send some invitation cards to the wealthy in Hong Kong, after all, they are the real financiers. But generally speaking, these rich people are reluctant to appear at such dinners, because sharing the stage with celebrities is a bargain for them. Of course, if it is a dinner hosted by the Hong Kong government or the Liaison Office of the Chinese People's Government, it is another matter.

However, there are still some rich people who will attend, that is, those who are very close to the entertainment industry, if they are not high-profile and fun-loving, such as an elderly rich man who is known for his romance, this time he appeared at the scene of the party; or to support its artists, such as Li Ergongzi, it is said that he is dating a well-known female artist, and this time he is naturally coming for the other party's face.

Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan were a little embarrassed, because they couldn't get along with the entertainment industry, and they didn't know most of the guests present, so after signing the sign-in book, the two honestly sat in their places under the guidance of Miss Etiquette.

The interior venue is about the size of half a football field, and the decoration is resplendent and elegant. According to the specifications of the dinner, more than a dozen round tables were set up in the center of the venue, and the guests were seated according to the previously arranged positions. Naturally, there will be no real feast, the various tableware on the table is just a show, and everyone's tables and chairs are facing the rostrum in front of them, which is the real scene of today's party.

One after another, several more guests sat at Zhongshi's table, and several of them were also stars often seen on the screen, both men and women. They are very enthusiastic about socializing, and they can't stop chatting with the people around them, whether they are intimate or not. It's just that they wanted to come over and talk to Zhong Shi several times, but they were politely refused. So soon Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan's side was deserted again, and of course they didn't mind it very much.

"Why didn't you see Li Zehai?"

After looking around the audience, Zhong Shi didn't find the figure of Li Ergongzi, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't you say that he would attend this party?" ”

Li Zehai, who is Li Jiacheng's second son, had the experience of dealing with Zhong Shi back then. Later, after his company went public, it swelled rapidly, and his total wealth once approached that of his father, and he was called a new generation of "supermen". But the good times didn't last long, and soon his company's valuation dropped rapidly, and now it is only a few billion Hong Kong dollars.

But even if his net worth is not rich, but with the aura of the richest man and the second son, Li Zehai has a very great influence both in the upper class and in the civilian class.

"This street boy wants to take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with Li Sheng!"

Zhong Shi's words happened to be heard by a male star surnamed Hu opposite, and he suddenly showed a smile on his face, lowered his voice and said to a female star surnamed Zhou next to him, "I don't know how this kind of person got in?" Hey, the security of the conference is getting worse and worse now! ”

The female star surnamed Zhou stared at Zhong Shi with wide eyes for a long time, and finally said a little shyly: "That man is quite handsome, if only I could sleep with him all night." ”

"You are not ashamed, you still don't forget to seduce men!"

The male star surnamed Hu, who was ignored, was suddenly furious and reprimanded in a low voice, "If you want to fish for Kaizi here, you have to be a little brighter." If you meet a reporter who sneaks in disguise, your reputation will be completely ruined! ”

Some time ago, there was a sensational event in the entertainment industry, a newly popular female star secretly engaged in sexual services, but was secretly photographed by a reporter in disguise. After the video was announced, the female star was immediately ruined and completely disappeared from this circle.

As soon as she thought of this, the female star surnamed Zhou immediately shuddered, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Probably haven't come yet!"

No matter how this pair of dog men and women slandered Zhongshi in private, Jiang Shan also looked around, but did not see Li Zehai's figure, and immediately said disapprerovingly, "The more important the person, the more he will appear in the finale." I think Li Zehai thinks that he is the most important guest, so he will appear a moment before the start. ”

Zhong Shi smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the rostrum, and no longer thought about Li Zehai.

He came to Li Zehai just to inquire about the situation in the media. However, since the other party is not there, he will not deliberately look for it again, and the other party is not qualified to let him take the initiative to visit.

It didn't take long for the lights in the conference hall to dim and the charity gala officially began.

"Thank you for coming!"

A dignified, tuxedo-clad male host walked out of the spotlight, he is Bi Jingxian, a very well-known TV host in Hong Kong. Bi Jingxian first said a few words of gratitude to everyone for attending, and then the conversation fell to the theme of this party, "Our country has a history of 5,000 years and has given birth to a rich and splendid culture. Many ingenious buildings, cultural relics and even art have become carriers of our country's long history and splendid culture. For example, Hui-style architecture, such as Peking Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Simu Wuding. These are the treasures of our nation, and they deserve to be proud of our children and grandchildren. ”

"It's just a pity that not all cultural carriers have survived intact. For example, this ancient building, according to research, appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and the architectural style is not quite the same as what we usually know. This is due to the fact that in that era, the cultural fusion of nomadic and agrarian peoples was the product of great significance in the study of related cultures. But unfortunately, the building in front of it has become crumbling due to lack of protection and attention. ”

With his explanation, a badly damaged ancient building appeared on the screen behind him, the stone railing was covered with moss, the wooden tenon as the structure of the house had been detached, the entire roof frame was about to fall apart, and the wall was seriously tilted due to the perennial wind and rain, as if it would collapse with a little force.

"According to our statistics, there are still 221 such historic buildings across the country, and the annual repair and maintenance expenditure is about 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot of money when you count the years. The purpose of our charity gala this time is to raise ten years of repair and maintenance costs, which is 300 million Hong Kong dollars. The money will be held and used by the Great China Charity Foundation, and we will appoint a professional auditor to review the money to ensure that every money from the donors can be used for the restoration of these cultural heritages. ”

After a big phone call, Bi Jingxian finally said, "The things in today's charity auction are all donated by everyone here, including private collections, calligraphy, movie props, precious photos, etc. Of course, in the process of bidding, you can also take out what you want to bid on and participate in today's charity. I hope that you can actively bid for the auction and make a contribution to the cultural protection of China. ”

The audience burst into warm applause.

"We don't seem to have anything?"

After hearing Bi Jingxian's words, Jiang Shan was a little nervous, and after looking around, he lowered his voice and said to Zhong Shi, "Why is there such a link?" ”

Neither of them noticed that in the invitation to the charity gala, there was a detailed introduction to the charity auction method.

"It's nothing!"

Zhong Shi didn't panic too much, raised his wrist and took off his watch, "Just take this to the auction, I think it should be enough for a year's maintenance costs!" ”

This watch is a Patek Philippe limited edition, and there are only 50 pieces in the world. The market price is as high as 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still unmarketable. In order to get such a watch, in addition to its own financial resources, it is also necessary to be recognized by the manufacturer of Patek Philippe. Naturally, these were not problems for Bell Stone.

Jiangshan's heart has settled down a little.

"Next, we have the first bidding guest, the new Academy Award actress, Miss Luo Xin'er!"

While he was talking, there was already action on the stage, and Bi Jingxian invited actress Luo Xin'er to the stage with a smile, "Let's welcome today's first guest and let her give us a good start." ”

The spotlight then hit Luo Xin'er's body.

This is a girl in her early twenties, and her face with light makeup can't hide the breath of youth. Her eyebrows are like far daisies, her lips are like cherries, her skin is more fat than coagulation, her two white arms are as white and tender as lotus roots, only a little bit of crisp shoulders and collarbones are exposed, and the proportions of her tall body tend to be perfect, but her slightly thin body shape makes people feel a little incongruous.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Shi's head suddenly exploded, and all other sounds and images disappeared, and there was only Luo Xin'er alone in his field of vision. At the same time, his heart began to beat violently.

"Good fellow, just like us, he didn't prepare anything!"

Luo Xin'er didn't seem to realize that she would be pushed to the front desk by the host. She stood up in a panic, looked around helplessly, and finally had to walk forward, her hands empty.

Seeing someone who was as unprepared as himself, Jiang Shan said to Zhong Shi with some schadenfreude, but after a while, he realized that Zhong Shi didn't seem to react to his words, and immediately looked at the other party strangely, only to find that Zhong Shi's eyes burst out with strange colors, which he had never seen before.

Waving his hand several times in front of the other party's eyes in a row, Jiang Shan pulled Zhong Shi back from his intoxication, "Hey, what are you looking at?" He quipped, "Is Luo Xin'er so good-looking?" ”

"Do you believe in fate?"

Zhong Shi held Jiang Shan's hand tightly and said emotionally, "Yes, this is fate. She's my real daughter! ”

Seeing Zhong Shi who was out of shape like this, Jiang Shan gasped and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Sorry, I didn't bring anything today."

Luo Xin'er on the stage didn't realize the abnormality on Zhong Shi's side, she pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, and said to the audience a little helplessly, "Why don't you do this, I'll sing a song to everyone?" ”

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.

Naturally, while rapping is fine, it definitely doesn't bid too high. If the first auction ends at a low price, it obviously won't be able to arouse the emotions of the bidders who follow.

"It's better to do this, if anyone can bid high, then Miss Luo will give him a fragrant kiss."

Looking at Luo Xin'er, who was flushed and at a loss, Bi Jingxian had to stand up and play a round and give a solution, "Of course, it's a kiss on the cheek." I don't know if Miss Luo agrees or not? (To be continued.) )
