Chapter 24: The Charity Auction Turmoil
The number of customers in the breakfast shop is gradually becoming scarce.
The waiter came to Tang Ben'an's side again and asked politely, "Sir, do you want to order food now?" ”
Tang Ben'an: "Wait a minute. ”
On the road, Lin Yanan drove very fast.
There was still an intersection from the breakfast shop, and she made a sharp right turn.
At this time, a sedan happened to be coming from the right side of the road, and both cars braked urgently, but there was still a slight collision.
Lin Yanan hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation, but fortunately, he just scratched off a little paint.
The other man was driving a young man in his early twenties.
He pointed at Lin Yanan and asked, "Hey, how do you drive?" ”
Lin Yanan looked at her watch, it was too late, and she didn't know if the guy was still waiting for her there.
Lin Yanan was in a hurry to leave, so he said, "I'm sorry, how much money does it cost to repair, I'll pay you." ”
The young man looked angry and said, "How do I know how much money?" I'll have to send it for inspection first. ”
Lin Yanan: "Okay, you send it for inspection first, check out how much money it costs, you call me." ”
As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper from her bag, and the phone number.
The young man said reluctantly: "Hey, what about me?" I'm going to have it checked too. ”
Lin Yanan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you?" Do you want to check too? ”
The young man looked like he was stunned by her, and said, "Why not, my heart is hurt." ”
Lin Yanan was speechless, the more he wanted to go, the more troublesome things became.
Young man: "Now it's your fault, turn and let go straight, don't you understand?" Tell you, I can sue you! ”
Lin Yanan: "Oh, sue me? Okay, here's my business card, I can introduce colleagues to you. ”
Breakfast shop.
The waiter came to Tang Ben'an's side again, "Sir, there is only one square bag left in your reservation, do you want to help you return it?" ”
Tang Ben'an: "No, help me pack and take it away and check out." ”
Time was running out, and he was due to attend a press conference for a charity event in the morning.
When he walked into the venue, there were already a lot of people here.
The sharp-eyed reporter saw Tang Ben'an coming in and immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Tang, can you say a few words about your case here?"
At this time, the security personnel of the venue stepped forward to block the reporter and said, "I'm sorry, everyone! Mr. Tang will not accept any private visits today. ”
The venue is about 200 square meters.
There are more than a dozen rows of chairs in front, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
At this time, the chair was already full.
The innermost seat against the wall is the rostrum, several rectangular tables put together into a long table. It was covered with a red cloth.
Tang Ben'an was arranged to sit in the middle of the long table.
He has three seats on the left and right.
There are a total of seven seats at the long table, plus Tang Ben'an, there are already six people, and there is still one missing.
The host came to the long table and asked the organizer: "Mr. Xu, the time is over!" ”
Mr. Xu looked at his watch and said, "Gu Minglei hasn't arrived yet, so it's better to start first!" ”
The host came to the microphone set up on the side, "Welcome to the press conference of the Jewels Charity Auction."
Well, the press conference is now officially opened. ”
There was a round of applause.
Just when the applause was remembered, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a big back combed walked into the venue, escorted by two security guards.
The security guard in the lead shouted, "I'm sorry, everyone! Mr. Gu has arrived! ”
Several reporters stepped forward to try to block Gu Minglei, but they were all blocked by the security guards.
When Gu Minglei walked to the rostrum, he glanced at Tang Ben'an intentionally or unintentionally, full of hostility.
He came to the rostrum, shook hands with a Jiang-sex man, and said, "I'm sorry, Director Jiang, I'm late!" ”
Director Jiang: "Do good deeds, don't be afraid of being late!" Mr. Gu, we must wait for you! ”
Gu Minglei: "To be honest, I don't want to come today." ”
Director Jiang: "Why? ”
Gu Minglei turned around, faced the reporter, and said loudly: "Everyone, just for this matter, I was doing an ideological struggle all night yesterday.
Should I come today?
Everyone knows that my Ruyilai jewelry is engaged in legitimate business, and I, Gu Minglei, am an honest businessman.
I really don't want to be confused with some jeweler of unknown origin.
Many jewelry sponsors here took out jewelry auctions,
If someone takes out a thief's dirty goods,
And people outside don't know that mistaking it for Ruyilai jewelry will affect my reputation.
Also, some people misunderstand that I smuggle gold, or buy thieves, which is even more unfair to me.
Mr. Tang, I don't know if you feel the same way? ”
After Gu Minglei finished speaking, he came to his place and sat down.
The reporter below immediately became excited, and if two jewelers got into a fight, it would be newsworthy.
"Mr. Gu, your words are very pertinent! You're targeting Mr. Tang of Bangben Jewelry, right? ”
"Mr. Tang, please respond!"
There was a noise below,
"Tang Dingbang has collected the dirty of thieves!"
"yes, he said it himself."
At this time, Tang Ben'an said loudly: "Fellow journalists! ”
Hearing Tang Ben'an's voice, the venue immediately fell silent.
Tang Ben'an: "Today, so many of our jewelers come here for only one purpose, which is to do good deeds!"
There are people who have a problem with our Bangben, and I am not going to respond to it.
It's really boring to turn a press conference into a private war of scolding.
To be honest, we are committed to participating, and if it causes inconvenience to everyone,
Then we decided to quit and no longer donate jewelry. ”
A reporter asked: "Mr. Tang, please respond to this question." ”
"Yes, Mr. Tang, please respond."
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise.
Director Jiang raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Everyone! Please be at ease, don't be impatient. ”
Then Director Jiang looked at Tang Ben'an and asked, "Mr. Tang, Bang Ben is going to withdraw from this charity auction?" ”
Tang Ben'an nodded and said, "However, we will still donate the same amount of donations."
If the General Assembly does not dislike it. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Director Jiang.
Director Jiang hurriedly changed his mind: "No, of course I won't dislike it." ”
Then Tang Ben'an looked at the jewelers next to him and asked, "Everyone doesn't mind, right?" ”
Several jewelers politely said, "Don't mind, don't mind." ”
Finally, Tang Ben'an looked at Gu Minglei and asked, "Mr. Gu, what is your opinion?" ”
Gu Minglei smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just not right about things." I hope you don't mind. ”
Tang Ben'an: "The most important thing to do good deeds is for everyone to benefit.
Other things, not worth mentioning. ”
