Chapter 141: The daughter-in-law is amazing
If this happened a few months ago, Mu Shuyao wouldn't even have said anything to Ning Hongjie so much.
But too many things have happened in the past few months, and the life that she and Ning Hongjie didn't have much intersection with now has become intricately intertwined# entangled, the two have a lot more intersection than before, and the relationship is undoubtedly closer than before.
Moreover, Ning Hongjie has done a lot of things for her directly or indirectly recently, as long as she is not wolf-hearted, she can't watch him being pitted.
But Ning Hongjie had heard it, and he didn't mean to discuss it further with her, and Mu Shuyao didn't want to ask too much.
As soon as the two of them appeared together at the charity association, Mrs. Chen, who was the chairman of the charity auction, separated from the people surrounding her and greeted them.
The relationship between the Ning family and the Chen family has always been good, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Chen should go with rich wives like Jiang Meifen.
But after Mu Shuyao had contact with Mrs. Chen a few times, he found that Mrs. Chen was still different from Jiang Meifen and Qin Biling, who were rich women who only knew pleasure.
Mrs. Chen was born in a scholarly family, her husband's family is a person in the Zheng world, and the ladies and ladies in the upper circle are all kinds of extravagant and luxurious parties for the purpose of comparison, and she basically does not attend much.
And like the current public welfare reception for the purpose of auction fundraising, she often takes the lead in organizing.
Mrs. Chen walked over with a smile and spun lightly in front of the two of them.
"Hong Jie, look at my aunt's cheongsam, isn't it beautiful?"
Mrs. Chen watched Ning Hongjie grow up, so it was natural for her to consider herself an elder.
Ning Hongjie also cooperated with her and pretended that she didn't know anything, and looked Mrs. Chen up and down.
"Auntie's body today is beautiful and elegant, dignified and generous and extremely outstanding."
Mrs. Chen smiled and pointed her finger at him, "Have a vision!" This is specially designed for me by your daughter-in-law, and it is 100% eye-catching, right? ”
Ning Hongjie lowered his head and highly praised Mu Shuyao, who was holding his arm, "My daughter-in-law is amazing, her talent is full of points, and her vision is full of points!" ”
Mu Shuyao winked at him, then smiled sweetly at Mrs. Chen.
"It's good that Mrs. Chen likes it, they all say that this cheongsam is the most provocative to wear, thanks to Mrs. Chen's temperament and aura, otherwise, if you change to a few cats and dogs, you won't be able to achieve such a glamorous effect."
Naturally, everyone loves to listen to good words, and Mrs. Chen was coaxed by Ning Hongjie and Mu Shuyao to sing and harmonize.
He took her hand and patted her on the back of her hand, and kindly admonished her.
"It's good to follow Hongjie to call your aunt......"
Ning Hongjie and Mu Shuyao chatted with Mrs. Chen for a while, and there were several uncles of the family not far away, so Ning Hongjie wanted to take Mu Shuyao over to say hello.
Mrs. Chen grabbed Shu Yao and shook her hand at him.
"I'll take Shu Yao for a spin, Hongjie, you can go for a walk by yourself."
Unlike Jiang Meifen and Qin Biling, rich ladies who only know how to compare and enjoy, Mrs. Chen's aura seems to be more in line with Mu Shuyao.
Therefore, she said that she would take herself for a spin, and Mu Shuyao was willing.
Things gather like each other, and the person who can play with Mrs. Chen should not be the snobbish philistine appearance of Jiang Meifen and Qin Biling.
After walking not far, he met a person whom Mu Shuyao greatly admired.
"Shu Yao, this is President Xiao of the Tuocheng Art Association, you two are barely a little bit professional, have you seen President Xiao's painting Shu Yao?"
Mrs. Chen really asked the right person!
"President Xiao's 'blue sky', I have thought about it for a long time, but unfortunately, the collector has always refused to part with love."
Mu Shuyao's adoring look is really not pretending, speaking of which, she is half a fan of President Xiao.
President Xiao met a little fan and chatted with her for a while.
After that, Mrs. Chen took Mu Shuyao around for a short time and met many outstanding women who were quite successful in their careers.
It wasn't until the auction staff called Mrs. Chen away that Mu Shuyao went to get some food and looked for Ning Hongjie in the crowd.
Ning Hongjie is the kind of existence that is very prominent no matter where he is.
Therefore, Mu Shuyao didn't have much effort to find him in the crowd.
She walked over the crowd towards Ning Hongjie, and when she got closer, she saw clearly that Ning Hongjie was standing opposite each other with a bright beauty, and the two were talking happily.
Having known Ning Hongjie for so long, it was the first time Mu Shuyao had seen him so friendly and talkative in front of a person of the opposite sex of the same age.
The big beauty was wearing a white suspender dress and the long curly hair of the fan # was draped over her snow-white shoulders, she was holding a wine, and patted Ning Hongjie's arm from time to time during the chat.
And the strangest thing is that Ning Hongjie didn't show the slightest hint of disgust or evasion at all.
Obviously, these two people are old acquaintances, and they have a lot of friendship.
Mu Shuyao froze in place, staring at the tips of his shoes for a moment, and then, turning around, walked over to the other side with food without looking back.
The food at the reception was prepared very well and tasted good, Mu Shuyao took a lot of delicious food, and sat down by the window to concentrate on tasting the food.
At this time, the auction officially kicked off.
The first painting in the auction is a painting by President Shaw.
It was a portrait of a young girl, called "Meditation", Mu Shuyao had never seen this painting before, it was estimated to be President Xiao's new work, with a starting price of 100,000 yuan.
Mu Shuyao liked this painting after just looking at it, so he thought that it would be good to hang it in the office after the auction.
The organizer attached a number plate to the invitation letter of each guest, and Mu Shuyao came with Ning Hongjie, and there was only one number plate and it was in Ning Hongjie's hand.
Mu Shuyao was thinking about whether to go to Ning Hongjie to ask for the license plate, and it just so happened that one of Mrs. Chen's assistants was nearby, and he happened to have a license plate in his hand, so Mu Shuyao asked him to help her bargain.
The highest price of Chairman Xiao's painting was 800,000 yuan, so Mu Shuyao said to the assistant, "As long as it doesn't exceed 1.5 million, you can increase the price at will." ”
Chairman Xiao has many chasers in Tuocheng, and after several rounds of bidding, it has been increased to 500,000.
The more Mu Shuyao looked at this painting, the more she liked it, but 1.5 million was already the limit she could accept, so when the price was called 800,000, she was basically ready to give up.
"A million!"
A familiar voice came from the other side of the lobby, Mu Shuyao looked at the portrait captured by the camera on the big screen, and sure enough, it was Ning Hongjie who was bidding, and beside him, there was the big beauty who was smiling just now.
The assistant asked by Mu Shuyao raised a sign and added 100,000, "1.1 million!" ”
Ning Hongjie didn't even think about it, "One million and three million!" ”
The assistant added another 100,000, "1.2 million!" ”
Ning Hongjie has never had much patience and human consumption, and happily raised his card again, "Two million!" ”
