Chapter Seventy-Four: Charity Gala
Ye Ningbai lowered her eyebrows and sneered, then looked up at Gong Qi.
It is said that the Xu family is a scholarly family, and now look at it, it's just like that, I want to be close to Gong Qi in such a hurry.
Gong Qi was unmoved, he didn't even look at Mother Xu, his eyes were always on Ye Ningbai, the darkness in his eyes couldn't tell what he was thinking, and there was a slight coldness in the evil aura exuded from his body.
Mother Xu was a little embarrassed, but she withdrew her hand very calmly, Xu Manrou beside her looked at Gong Qiyu and Ye Ningbai sarcastically, she was really shameless, and dared to appear in public openly, while Father Xu, who had never spoken, had to think more.
At this moment, the lights suddenly dimmed, and then the stage in the center of the hall lit up, everyone's eyes were attracted, Father Xu also approached the center of the stage without a trace at this time, Xu Manrou and Mother Xu also followed, Ye Ningbai aimed at the movements of this family, and suddenly felt a sense of disharmony in his heart.
A man in a suit walked to the stage, facing so many people with status and status present, he did not flinch at all, and his words were humble but not humble, "Thank you very much for taking the time to attend the charity gala tonight, and then I will explain to you the object of this charity." ”
As soon as the master of ceremonies' words fell, the wall facing the hall gate instantly became a screen, and then all kinds of photos kept playing, with the subtitles on the side it was clear at a glance.
It turned out that the people living on the border were only the elderly and children after being attacked by the border terrorists, and they had no way to survive on tree roots and all kinds of wild grasses, and they had no money or physical strength to escape from there.
All kinds of poignant and shocking images continued to show on the screen, and everyone present slowly began to cry, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
In a few minutes, all kinds of shocking poverty was unconcealed in front of everyone, although everyone's sobbing could not be seen to be true or false, but the shock on the face was very real, presumably no one would have thought that in such a technologically advanced society, there were still people who wanted to live like savages.
After the picture was played, the emcee's voice became a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Next, please ask Mr. Xu Jianping and Mr. Xu to start the next steps for us." ”
With the words of the master of ceremonies, the bright light hit Xu's father, and Xu's father had a sad expression on his face, as if even the steps on the stage were like a thousand gold.
"I hope that while everyone is shocked by such a picture, we will also actively participate in our charity auction, in addition, I hope that everyone will suppress their grief as soon as possible, I feel heartache for these children and the elderly like everyone else, but what we can do is to provide them with more practical help as soon as possible."
Father Xu paused when he said this, the smugness that flashed in his eyes did not escape Ye Ningbai's eyes, and the wrongness in Ye Ningbai's heart became bigger and bigger, what was there that made Father Xu feel as if he had everything in his hands.
Father Xu turned his head and leaned down the stairs without a trace, and his voice became excited after seeing someone make a gesture, "We invited two people to make everyone excited at tonight's charity gala, that is, Commander-in-Chief Lei Qing!" ”
When Father Xu said that name excitedly, there was almost a few seconds of silence in the audience, and when the light hit a person on the stairs who seemed to be smiling kindly, suddenly the audience burst into applause, which almost lifted the roof.
Ye Ningbai turned around and glanced at Ou Junluo beside him, and they all saw shock in the other party's eyes, the Lei family ......
Lei Qing soon walked to the stage, the smile on his face made people clap excitedly without much calm and cautious mentality, Lei Qing's image on TV and newspapers has always been a smile.
"Don't let me be burdened by my arrival, this time I came here on purpose just to do my part for the children at the border, so everyone can treat me as an ordinary old man."
Lei Qing with some self-deprecating words not only did not make everyone laugh, but his nerves jumped tight, could it be that your superiors told you that it was okay to treat me as a friend, can you really treat him as a friend, the answer is impossible, and saying this will make you more cautious, thinking that you have done something wrong.
Lei Qing obviously didn't feel any surprise at everyone's reaction, and without saying anything more, he gave the microphone in his hand to Father Xu, he just stood quietly to the side, seemingly smiling gently, but the aura that he unconsciously exuded made you feel a sense of convincing.
Ye Ningbai stared straight at Lei Qing's appearance, as if he was a little curious about such a soldier, and seemed to be thinking about what the real purpose of their charity party was.
Suddenly, Lei Qing, who had been smiling and looking ahead, raised his eyes to meet Ye Ningbai's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, and the smile in his eyes deepened, which made Ye Ningbai feel weird.
She retracted her gaze in a little panic, but she didn't want to meet Gong Qi's eyes, Ye Ningbai was a little embarrassed, and after coughing lightly, she raised her eyes to look at the stage, at this time, Father Xu still started another speech, and in the end, his words made everyone instantly sensational.
"The next person, that's ......" Father Xu said and paused, his eyes scanning the audience, and he smiled smugly when he saw everyone's expectant and curious eyes.
Ye Ningbai pursed his lips, it was a waste for him not to be the host like this, but Father Xu's next words made Ye Ningbai stiffen instantly.
"That's Gong Qi, deputy commander of the Seventh Army of the Army." After Father Xu's words were finished, there was silence again, but this time people were obviously stunned.
Everyone knows that Gong Qiyu was suspended from his position because of the lawsuit, and people are still speculating about when he will be able to resume his position, but they don't want to resume it in such a short time.
The bright light hit the stairs again, and Gong Qi's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, still beautiful as a demon-like face, still straight chest, his eyes were still the same cold, he glanced at the audience and his gaze was so cold that it was difficult to breathe, and finally his gaze stopped on the person who was extremely charming.
Ye Ningbai's eyes were slowly stunned, and the expression on his face was frozen instantly.
At the moment when Gong Qi walked on the stage, the audience burst into louder applause, but Gong Qi just glanced at it coldly, and then there was no longer any movement, standing next to Lei Qing and Lei Qing became a stark contrast.
Xu's father's speech ended quickly, and then with the official start of the charity auction party after the master of ceremonies reappeared, the lights of the audience were lit up again, and the surrounding of the stage was quickly pounced on the red carpet and put on chairs when the lights were dimmed, and everyone quickly found their respective places to sit down, but ......
Ye Ningbai raised her eyebrows, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her seat, not because it was too far, but because it was too weird, she didn't seem to have such a big style to sit in the first row, and even her left hand side was Gong Qi's eye, and what was even more strange was that her right hand side was actually An Yaosi.
That's right, it's An Yaosi, the person who didn't see anyone just now, suddenly didn't know where he came from, and was also arranged to sit next to Ye Ningbai.
In an instant, Ye Ningbai became the focus of everyone's attention again, she didn't care, but she was in a completely polarized state, she began to sit a little unstable, one was cold and the other was cruel, and at this moment she couldn't offend casually.
"That palace young man, I said, don't you think I don't seem to be at the level of sitting here?" Ye Ningbai thought about it, but his body was still biased towards Gong Qi, and asked in a low voice.
And just as she asked, she aimed at Xu Manrou's eyes glaring at her fiercely on the side of Gong Qi's eyes, Ye Ningbai blinked, and retracted her eyes in disregard, even ignoring Xu Manrou's mother and father Xu on the other side.
"You're good enough, my lawyer." Gong Qi's voice was low and cold, and the words he said let Ye Ningbai know that there was no possibility of appeal.
Although An Yaosi on the side kept talking to the people next to him, his eyes still kept looking at Ye Ningbai and Gong Qi, intentionally or unintentionally, and the color of his eyes became deeper and deeper.
At this time, a woman wearing a purple cheongsam held a tray high in her hand and walked to the stage, looking at the face and figure, she knew that it was a model, she gently put the tray on the auction table, and the tray was also covered with a red cloth, which not only made the people below more curious.
The master of ceremonies walked to the auction table and began to understand, "The first thing to be auctioned at the party was donated by Mr. An Yaosian, and he said that it was a very important thing for him, so I hope someone can bid for it, what is it, please see." ”
The master of ceremonies' words made people's eyes no longer stare at Ye Ningbai, but stared directly at the master of ceremonies' hands, the master of ceremonies' movements were so slow that they could be seen clearly, and Ye Ningbai pouted, but it was just a gimmick.
Seeing that the thing covered by the red cloth was about to appear in front of everyone, the master of ceremonies' hand paused, looking at everyone's anxious look, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then his hand pulled hard, and suddenly a ring was displayed in front of people.
"What!!" Ye Ningbai looked at the ring and exclaimed in astonishment, until Lei Qing and Gong Qi beside her glanced at her, and she came back to her senses slightly, but her eyes were a little embarrassed and glared at An Yaosi.
"What do you mean!" Ye Ningbai's tone also contained a faint anger, and she could even feel that somewhere in her fingers was burning at this time.
Was he taking revenge on her? Was it to embarrass her on purpose? They actually donated their wedding rings and auctioned them off in front of so many people!
