100. Charity Auctions
Zhao Ruozhi reluctantly cooperated with Su Xiaoyu's "performance", and whispered in his ear: "When do you plan to win the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspaper websites tomorrow?" ”
"Today for as long as you want."
"Okay." The corners of Zhao Ruozhi's mouth rose slightly, "Take me to the lounge." ”
As soon as he entered the lounge, Zhao Ruozhi opened all the curtains.
The orange sunset shines into the room, illuminating the lounge extra warmly.
Zhao Ruozhi turned his back to the floor-to-ceiling glass window and pulled Su Xiaoyu's collar to the sofa.
She grabbed Su Xiaoyu's hands, put them on her waist, and said to him, "Help me unzip my skirt." ”
Although he was talking sassy and his posture was very ambiguous, Zhao Ruozhi's body was stiff.
Su Xiaoyu obediently unzipped the back of the black dress skirt, but when he was about to get to the end, he stopped.
"Why don't you continue?" Zhao Ruozhi looked up at his gray-green eyes, but it seemed to have crashed into a pool of gentle pool water.
"The body is so stiff, who do you want to deceive?"
Su Xiaoyu helped her zip her skirt, took a set of home clothes from the cabinet and gave it to Zhao Ruozhi, and then walked around behind Zhao Ruozhi and closed the curtains.
The light in the room dimmed.
The tall figure of the man stood in front of the window, looking at Zhao Ruozhi with a smile.
Zhao Ruozhi blushed and took his home clothes into the locker room.
In the lounge, Su Xiaoyu had already taken off his blazer and unbuttoned the collar and chest of his shirt.
The strong pectoral muscles loomed under the collar of the shirt, and as soon as Zhao Ruozhi opened the door of the dressing room, he saw Su Xiaoyu leaning against the wall, tilting his head to look at her.
Just then, there was a knock on the door to the lounge.
"Who is it?" Zhao Ruozhi asked Su Xiaoyu in a low voice.
"Theatergoers."
"What do you want me to do this time?"
"Will it be called?"
Zhao Ruozhi felt as if his face had been burned by fire, and it was painful.
"If you don't want to, I'll come."
After speaking, Su Xiaoyu entered the play in a second, and Zhao Ruozhi's face was red when he heard it.
"I didn't expect you to do this."
"Why don't you try it too?"
Zhao Ruozhi saw that Su Xiaoyu didn't mean to touch himself from beginning to end, and maintained a perfect gentlemanly demeanor, so he was playful for a while, and he also shouted twice like Su Xiaoyu "enjoyed".
In the end, I couldn't hold back and laughed.
The knocker stopped knocking in amusement.
Su Xiaoyu smiled evilly, simply unbuttoned his shirt, and opened the door with his chest open.
Zhao Ruozhi didn't know who the person outside the door was, and it was a man who listened to the voice.
The people outside the door were talking to Su Xiaoyu in Spanish, and the tone sounded like a few jokes, and after the two laughed, Su Xiaoyu sent the guests away.
"Who is it?" Zhao Ruozhi asked Su Xiaoyu.
"A media friend." Su Xiaoyu had already put on his clothes, "You rest here for a while, I still have something to do, I'll pick you up at seven fifty in the evening." Dinner will be served by the waiter, and don't forget to eat. ”
After Su Xiaoyu finished speaking, he hurriedly left the lounge, leaving Zhao Ruo alone on the sofa exhausted.
Zhao Ruozhi fell asleep on the sofa in a daze, and had a very strange dream.
The messy pile of wires in the dream suddenly began to grow wildly throughout the entire exhibition hall as if by magic. The thick, long black wire grew into iron columns, filling the space and crowding out the rest of the exhibits. The whole world became black and oppressive, and she was so suffocated that she could not breathe.
After waking up from the dream, Zhao Ruozhi only felt uncomfortable, and after only half an hour of sleep, he already felt that it was extremely long.
She walked to the window and opened the curtains, it was already seven o'clock, and it was still bright outside. She let out a long breath and called Su Xiaoyu.
No one answered.
After sitting for a long time, Zhao Ruozhi didn't wait for dinner, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
In this half hour, she felt helpless for the first time since she came to the United States.
Except for Su Xiaoyu, she seems to have no one to rely on. In Seattle, where she was unfamiliar, and even more so in such a remote castle, she didn't know anyone else, let alone where to find food.
Seeing the mobile phone screen light up, showing Su Xiaoyu's name, Zhao Ruozhi felt unprecedented joy.
"I didn't look at my phone just now, is there anything wrong with me?"
"I ......" Zhao Ruozhi was a little embarrassed to speak, "I'm hungry." ”
"Didn't anyone bring you food?"
"I was sleeping just now, and someone might have knocked on the door and didn't hear me." Zhao Ruozhi rubbed his hungry stomach, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Wait a minute, I'll call them and send it."
"When are you coming back?"
"Seven-fifty." Su Xiaoyu felt that there was something wrong with the voice on the other end of the phone, so he asked again: "Are you okay there alone?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little boring."
"Then I'll try to go back early." Su Xiaoyu said, "Don't run around. ”
"You don't say I didn't expect to be able to go out for a walk, it's a pity that I haven't visited such a big castle yet."
"I'm afraid you're going to meet people you don't want to meet."
"For example?"
"Wait until I get back."
Not long after hanging up, the waiter knocked on the door of the lounge.
Looking at the Western food delivered by the waiter, although Zhao Ruozhi was hungry, he had no appetite. She nibbled on two bites of bread, losing her appetite and missing the dishes she had cooked.
Where would he be now?
Zhao Ruozhi shook his head and drove this thought out of his head.
She picked up her phone again and checked the unread messages.
Since most of the people in her friend list are in China, the time difference silences her circle of friends. Zhao Ruozhi pressed the phone screen and watched it go out, lit it up and watched it go out, and he felt that he was a little ridiculous like this.
Su Xiaoyu returned to the lounge and saw that Zhao Ruozhi had eaten almost nothing, and asked, "Why don't you eat anything?" ”
"It's not appetizing, I don't want to eat."
"What do you want to eat? I'll let the kitchen do it for you. ”
Zhao Ruozhi noticed that Su Xiaoyu was wearing a gray striped suit and burgundy satin bow tie when he went out, but when he came back, he was wearing a black suit and sky blue tie.
"I want to eat my mother's cooking."
"When you settle down, take your mom over. Then you can eat your mother's cooking. Su Xiaoyu put away the barely touched food on the table, "I'll let the kitchen cook Chinese food for you." ”
"Don't bother, I'll just eat some fruit." Zhao Ruozhi picked an apple from the rest of the food, "The auction is about to start, and it's too late to do it now." ”
"The pile of wire you fancy is in the penultimate shot, don't rush over."
"It's not good to be late." Zhao Ruozhi insisted on entering on time, and Su Xiaoyu had no choice but to agree.
"The stylist will come right away and change his outfit for the evening."
"Hmm."
At the beginning of the auction in the evening, Zhao Ruoyi appeared at the door of the banquet hall wearing a fiery red dress with a glittering diamond necklace, holding Su Xiaoyu's hand.
The moment the two of them stepped on the red carpet, the eyes of nearly 100 people in the banquet hall all fell on the comer.
The host on stage introduced a couple of men and women who were walking towards the center of the banquet hall, and the attendees couldn't help but sigh.
Some people pay attention to the expensive haute couture on Zhao Ruozhi's body and the diamond necklace around his neck.
Others lamented that Mr. Medici was finally willing to open his romance to insiders. Even if the guests who have already seen Zhao Ruozhi at noon, they can't help but sigh at her natural temperament, and wearing different clothes gives people a very different feeling.
is worthy of being a talented woman.
As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, Zhao Ruozhi felt that there was a different beam of eyes in the crowd staring at him, and he didn't leave for a second.
She followed that gaze.
A pair of dark eyes shimmered with a complex light. Is it remorse or unwillingness, anger or jealousy? Zhao Ruozhi only felt that those eyes were so far away from him, as if there was an invisible barrier in the vast sea of people, which he could see but could no longer touch.
Those dark eyes were like an abyss, like a black hole, firmly absorbing Zhao Ruozhi's gaze and could no longer move away.
She felt that she was pinching her palms beside her, and only then was she pulled back to reality from the abyss by Su Xiaoyu beside her.
Zhao Ruozhi raised his chin, like a proud swan with his head up, looking ahead lightly, and there was nothing else in his eyes except for the unpredictable fog.
How could the few media who were invited into the banquet hall miss such a great opportunity. The flash flashed one after another, capturing every look, every movement of Medici's new girlfriend.
From what you wear to what you look like, to your background and work experience, you can write about it in the headlines of tomorrow. The entertainers present seemed to have seen the satisfied smiles of the editors-in-chief.
As everyone in the room knows, this auction can be described as a very private auction. Unless it is a well-known figure in the industry, the rest of the people who participate in the auction are more or less related, in other words, it is equivalent to a family reunion.
The heir of the Medici family brought a female companion to such an occasion, which meant that the woman was likely to marry into the Medici family. This family, which is extremely low-key in the United States but holds the lifeblood of American arms, is about to usher in the second major event since the birth of Michael Medici.
No one is not holding back the excitement in their hearts, eager to take pictures and post them on their own INS immediately, and eager to run among the neighbors to tell each other and let the world know about it.
It's just that the secrecy requirements of the auction don't allow them to do so.
Everyone in the audience knew that Michael Medici was in an extraordinary position, and the decision made tonight would be of great significance, but it seemed that only Zhao Ruozhi was still in the dark.
It wasn't until Zhao Ruozhi sat down and found that she and Su Xiaoyu's position was in the middle of the front row, that she realized that the arrangement of this seat seemed to be a little unexpected to her.
Zhao Ruozhi took advantage of the host's introduction of the first auction item and quietly asked Su Xiaoyu: "Why is our position arranged in the middle?" ”
Su Xiaoyu said seriously: "Because I hosted this auction." ”
The man's serious expression made Zhao Ruozhi feel worried: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" ”
Su Xiaoyu smiled evilly: "It's all on my thief ship, do you still want to go down like this?" Of course, it's to have fun with me. ”
