Today is March 30th, and although five days have passed since Oscar's night, when the car in which the two of them were riding went out, several cars and motorcycles were immediately attached to it, and Ryan knew that it was the paparazzi waiting outside the villa who followed.

Strictly speaking, today's charity dinner has a lot to do with him, and it is the topic of orphans that detonated two days ago that prompted the entertainment industry and the media circle to take unified action, led by Time Warner, to organize this donation event for orphans across the United States.

As night fell, Ryan and his wife arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the dinner was held.

Like all public charity dinners, there was a short red carpet before entering the hotel, but Ryan and Nicole didn't stay too long, just let the reporter take a few photos, and then walked into the grand ballroom under the guidance of the waiter.

It's a huge ballroom of hundreds of square feet, and it is said that it is where the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is sometimes held, with a spacious stage and separate breakout rooms on either side.

Because there were media reports at the scene, the dinner was very formal, listening to the soothing music played by the band on the stage, Ryan followed the waiter to the table that belonged to the two of them, this position is not very good, a little off, but it is in line with the status of the two in Hollywood now.

Ryan is only waving to the occasional acquaintance, and the presence of the media makes it a serious public occasion rather than a casual charity party.

"It's a little boring." Ryan shrugged his shoulders and could only make small talk to Nicole.

"Okay, dear, don't look like that, you're a big star now." Nicole smiled, just in time to see Kim Siley walk into the banquet hall, and quickly stood up and waved to her.

Ryan looked at the large cameras that had been set up, and said to himself, "Won't it be live?" Is this charity or show?

Well, he knows very well that for the vast majority of people in this circle, charity is just a show, after all, there are very few people like Michael Jackson who really want to help others.

Don't talk about others, just himself and Nicole, they are definitely not the kind of people who are really engaged in charity, but donating a sum of money to make themselves able to put on a halo, as long as people with normal heads, will not refuse.

"Are you ready for your donation?" Kingsley asked as she sat down.

The party is not a direct donation of money, so that there is no show value, but after a small performance prepared by the organizer, a charity auction will be held, and as for the auction items, it will be seen by the donations of celebrities.

"It's mine." Nicole took out a jewelry box, which was a pair of emerald earrings.

"The original manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Ryan took a file bag out of Nicole's handbag and handed it directly to Kinsley, which would be fine if she was in charge.

"Ryan, you're so willing." The corners of Kinsley's eyes jumped, in her opinion, this manuscript may be inconspicuous now, but as Harry Potter gets hotter, it is bound to become a treasure in the future.

"It doesn't matter, in my conception, Harry Potter has a lot of parts, besides, I can buy it back." Ryan waved his hand absently.

After Kinsley left, Ryan was quickly caught by a man at the next table, who was dressed differently than other men's suits and leather dresses, wearing a black turtleneck jumper, blue Reeves jeans, and sneakers on his feet, which looked different, or nondescript, in such a formal setting.

Especially the disc eyes he wears, making his image a classic worshiped by countless people in his previous life.

"The future will inevitably be the information age, and the IT industry will not be depressed all the time, at most two to three years, it will enter a period of rapid development, just like the current ......"

The founder of Apple, who was giving his evangelistic speech to the people around him, was really impressive with his saliva and passionate appearance, but fortunately, he still knew what the occasion was, and tried to keep his voice low.

"Who is he? Why does it look a little crazy? Nicole Kidman asked curiously.

"Steve Jobs! Founder of Apple Computer. Ryan was very interested, and listened to a paragraph.

I have to say that although Jobs is arrogant, paranoid, irritable, and not very famous, and the scandal of his illegitimate daughter has never stopped, he is indeed a very remarkable character, even if he was swept away by Apple, and now he is at the lowest point in his life, he has never been discouraged.

"Apple is mired in losses, Microsoft is tepid, and Intel and Texas Instruments have no breakthroughs in chips, and I don't think the IT industry will thrive." The people at the table, apparently disagreeing with him, began to retort.

"No, no, no." Ryan suddenly leaned over and interjected, "I think everyone has used a computer, right?" How are computers today compared to a decade ago? And with the passage of time, the update of computer jishu will only get faster and faster, and one day in the future, it will not be too far away, at most ten years, computers will become a necessity in our work and life. ”

"But now a lot of companies are in trouble, such as Apple, which is losing money continuously." When the man saw that it was a child who refuted him, he was a little shocked at the same time, but more with bad intentions.

"It's true, Apple is not as good as it used to be." Ryan nodded first, and when the guy showed a smug smile, he said, "Because Apple has a big problem with the jishu update, and now it's just eating the old book, they want to get out of this predicament, in my opinion, it's very simple." ”

"Very easy?" The man pursed his lips, apparently not taking a little kid's words seriously.

"Of course." Ryan looked at Steve Jobs, "Apple just needs to bring his founder back, and it will all be solved." ”

As if to cooperate with him, Jobs's chin lifted slightly, but Ryan knew that the other party was just a habitual move.

The man didn't really want to debate with a child about it, and after a soft snort, he left the table.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs." Ryan didn't lean over, but only bowed slightly, "I'm Ryan Jenkins, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Steve Jobs just nodded at him, and although the words were to his liking, he had no interest in dealing with a teenager.

Although the information I have read in my previous life may not be reliable, it can somewhat reflect some of Jobs's character, and Ryan doesn't mind, if he is even five years older, he will come over to have a relationship with Jobs Lala and talk about the future, but now, come on, who cares about an eleven-year-old child.

"I don't like him, he's too haughty." When Ryan turned around, Nicole glared at the side.

"It's true that few people like him."

Ryan shook his head, if Jobs hadn't offended people, how could he be swept away by the company he founded?

He's got a treasure in his hand! However, now that he is losing money, his heart is dripping blood, and it is said that he has plans to get rid of it.

The dinner soon began, with a few very simple words from the celebrities, and the cabaret show kicked off, with several popular singers singing, and Ryan seeing several familiar faces, such as Whitney Houston, Maria Kelly, and Celine Dion.

After a short period of singing and dancing, it was time for the charity auction, and it was not a professional auctioneer who was hosted, but Whoopi Goldenberg.

To be honest, her style is not suitable for hosting such an occasion, Ryan looked at several directors of Time Warner in front of him, and said to himself, Could it be that their heads are in water?

Here, it is difficult to see the soaring price at the real auction, and even if there is a-for-tat, it is superficial, but this situation is quickly broken for the simple reason.

"Wow, the lot below is definitely unique to this shijie." Whoopi Goldenberg's eyes widened, "If I could, could I take it home?" ”

"Alright, no kidding, the lot below is from Ryan Jenkins, the original manuscript of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

It's really different, especially for people with children at home, their eyes light up.

There was no reserve price for this auction, and soon a sign was erected.

"$20,000!"

But then more signs were erected.

"$50,000!"

"$100,000!"

"$150,000."

Nicole didn't even think about it, so she raised the number plate in her hand, "$200,000!" ”

No one knows if it's worth $200,000 to buy the original manuscript of a novel that has become a hit, but it is not only adults who come to the scene, but also minors.

A little girl at the front row at the Hilton family's table held up the number plate after pleading in her father's ear, "$250,000!" ”

Nicole Kidman, of course, would not let Ryan's manuscript end up in the hands of anyone else, and bid again, "$300,000!" ”

The little girl whispered a few more words in her father's ear, but her father shook his head resolutely, and the girl turned her head and glared at Nicole fiercely.

The original Harry Potter manuscript is indeed precious, but it is not comparable in value to the works of art donated by the famous and rich, and if Ryan takes out this manuscript in another ten or twenty years, the form will be reversed.

What's more, in the eyes of others, he is only eleven years old, and he is so prolific, there may be many manuscripts in the future.

Similarly, Ryan didn't let Nicole's belongings fall into the hands of anyone else, and after some bargaining, he pocketed the emerald earrings.

With the two checks being delivered, their mission can be said to be a complete one, Ryan muttered in Nicole's ear and walked towards the bathroom, only to come out and find a little girl waiting next to the washstand.
