Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Miserable Man at the Table

"Everyone, come and get to know my brother Chong and sister-in-law...."Ye Qingyun shouted to the three or five people before he arrived at the banquet table.

The few people who had been sitting on the chairs chatting suddenly got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"Brother Chong is good..."

"Hello sister-in-law..."Several people didn't hesitate and broke out directly.

Su Xue, whose fingers were still twisted around Ye Chong's waist, instantly withdrew her hand and pretended to be casual, making Ye Chong amused for a while.

"It turns out that Brother Chong is the ruthless person who beat Zhou Dashao, he is worthy of being Qingyun's brother, we have long seen that Zhou Puqian's guy is not pleasing to the eye."

"That's it, last time because of a big fart, Zhou Puqian actually swept our face in public, if it weren't for me and other humble words, and I didn't want to be the enemy of the Zhou family, we really want to reason with him."

"This time, Brother Chong really took a bad breath for us!"

These people obviously read the recent report, after all, the beating of the Zhou family in Hongda Shopping Center was too sensational, and it was difficult for them to think about it.

Ye Chong also had a polite conversation with a few people, and then sat down at a table with them.

Today's engagement dinner of the Gu family is just a gimmick, and the charity auction held by the Gu family and the official is the highlight, and its real purpose is to expand the influence of the Gu family.

"Gu Kai, why did you come to our table?"

"Today is your family's home field, and your father didn't arrange for you to do something?" As soon as Ye Qingyun sat down, he said to a young man.

Ye Chong also looked at this person, and saw that this person was handsome, revealing a hint of scholarly spirit.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a young master of the Gu family.

The Gu family's tutor is the strictest among the wealthy families in Jinling, so the Gu family's reputation in Jinling is relatively good.

But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Gu Kai is much worse than Ye Qingyun, he grew up under the education of sticks, and he is very afraid of his father.

Most of the other families go to their own businesses with their legs crossed, drinking coffee, and even recruiting a full-time life secretary.....

And Gu Kai didn't have such a good life, because he was the third among the Gu family brothers, and Gu Hongyi, the eldest who was engaged today, was almost ten years older than him, and the second Gu Huanyu was more than five years older than him.

When he entered his own business, almost all the people he could win over were divided between the two elder brothers, and he could only be a mascot with a high status.

What makes him even more troublesome is that every year his father Gu Xingchao has to evaluate the results of their three brothers, and anyone can see that this is the family's assessment of the heir.

But Gu Kai is alone, he has no achievements every year, and if he doesn't get things done, he will be scolded by his father from work to work, and then go home and continue to scold.

He was almost depressed.....

Gu Kai looked at Ye Qingyun who was asking, and could only sigh, "My two elder brothers are very capable, they have all been arranged, and there is nothing for me to do at all." ”

Hearing Gu Kai say this, everyone consciously didn't ask any more, after all, if the eldest brother didn't talk about the second brother, the few of them were no better.

"By the way, I heard that this charity dinner is of a very high standard, and your Gu family has also invited some real big shots, do you know who they are?" Another person asked.

This person is Zhang Mingxu, the eldest son of Zhang Kaicheng, the president of Qingquan Group, who is burly, but he is the most sympathetic of the few.

Qingquan Group is second only to the existence of the four giants in Jinling, it stands to reason that as the eldest son, he must be blessed, even if he does not directly determine the status of the heir, the treatment will not be bad.

Unfortunately, his mother died when he was three years old ....

It didn't take long for Zhang Kaicheng to get married and give birth to a son and a daughter for him, and the woman finally stepped into the door of the Zhang family and became the mistress of the Zhang family.

has a stepmother in charge, and she has a son and a daughter under her knees, Zhang Mingxu's situation can be imagined.

Zhang Mingxu's words fell, and everyone's eyes were on Gu Kai, if anyone among the people was most familiar with today's dinner, it must be Gu Kai, but Gu Kai shook his head silently.

"I've heard about it, but I don't know who it is....."

Everyone was a little speechless, although they knew that you were miserable, but there was no need to be so obvious.

"Uh...."

"As the host today, you should have prepared an object for the auction, right? Why don't you tell us what it is, and let us open our eyes? "Someone else suggested.

"Yes, I want to see what you've prepared."

"If you can suppress your eldest brother this time, maybe your father will look at you differently." Everyone spoke.

Ye Chong was not interested in today's dinner before, but as soon as he heard that there was a charity auction, he immediately raised some interest.

Generally, at charity dinners of higher specifications, some precious antiquities will be auctioned, Ye Chong naturally has an indescribable liking for these antiquities, and has studied them for a long time.

I only heard Gu Kai say leisurely, "Don't laugh at me, I didn't prepare anything particularly rare." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a painting tube from his side, pulled out the calligraphy and paintings in the tube, and displayed it in front of everyone.

"This is the work of Liu Songyue in the Southern Song Dynasty, 'Lichun Mountain and Wild Map'!"

"I've asked an expert to identify it, and there is no doubt that this painting is genuine." Gu Kai said squeamishly.

Everyone was immediately fascinated by the calligraphy and painting in front of them, although they did not understand calligraphy and painting, but they could distinguish between good and bad, needless to say, this must be a good work.

Su, who has an extraordinary talent in design, sees the subtleties, whether it is the layout of calligraphy and painting, or the depth of color.

"How much did you spend on this calligraphy and painting?" Ye Qingyun asked.

Gu Kai smiled, "It's not much, it's only more than 20 million." ”

They are all people of the big and junior ranks, more than 20 million is really nothing to them, and when they are appreciating this calligraphy and painting, the charity auction has officially begun.

The people who participated in the banquet were all well-known figures in Jinling, whether they were to befriend the Gu family or the official, as long as the auction price was appropriate, they would not be stingy with money.

In particular, the first auction item is still an extremely rare three-color porcelain, a lady figurine!

The maid is in a sitting position, with a round face, a plump body, natural and smooth folds of clothes, and her right leg resting on her left knee, which looks leisurely.

Sancai porcelain is known as the 'artistic treasure of the Xia Kingdom', which is a treasure of the ancient ceramic firing technology of the Xia Kingdom, and the collection value is extremely considerable, and soon set off a bidding trend.

"I'll give 20 million..."

"I'll give twenty-five million..."

"Thirty million..."

"Thirty million for the first time... Thirty million for the second time.... Thirty million for the third time... Deal! ”

"Thank you to Mr. Zheng of Tianshui Group for his strong support for charity!" The host said excitedly that the first item was sold at a very high price, which gave him greater confidence in today's auction.

"The following lot was donated by Mr. Gu Hongyi, the eldest son of the Gu family, and is the 'Desert Falling Glow' by Lu Jian, a master of calligraphy and painting at the end of the Yuan Dynasty."

"The starting price is 30 million ....."
