Chapter 698: It's on the bar

He pressed the answer button, and Tang Yanran's pleasant voice immediately came: "Jiang Chen, there is a banquet tonight, do you have time to accompany me?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and replied, "Of course there is time, what kind of banquet?" ”

"It's a charity dinner." Tang Yanran explained, "There will be some celebrities and entrepreneurs who will participate, and I think you will also be interested. ”

Jiang Chen nodded, indeed, he was no stranger to this kind of occasion, and he was also interested in learning about the social dynamics of Xiangjiang.

He asked, "Is there anything I need to prepare?" ”

"You don't need anything to prepare, just dress formally." Tang Yanran said, "Let's leave in the evening, can you come and pick me up?" ”

"Of course it's convenient." Jiang Chen replied, "Then I'll pick you up in the evening, and we'll set off together." ”

In the evening, Jiang Chen appeared on Tang Yanran's side on time.

He wore a dark suit, which looked formal and personable.

Tang Yanran wore a red evening dress, elegant and charming.

The two stood together, like a pair of beautiful people.

When Tang Yanran saw Jiang Chen, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”

The two got into the car together and drove towards the location of the charity dinner.

On the way, Tang Yanran introduced some details of the dinner party and the people who participated in it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen listened to her introduction, and his interest in this dinner became stronger and stronger.

"I heard that there are some big names in Xiangjiang who will come tonight." Tang Yanran said, "You should be interested in them, right?" ”

"Oh? Who will come? Jiang Chen asked curiously.

"I don't know the exact list." Tang Yanran replied, "But I heard that there are some heavyweights in the business world, as well as some celebrities and celebrities. ”

Jiang Chen nodded, secretly looking forward to the arrival of the dinner party in his heart.

He is no stranger to such occasions, but he gets some new information and experience from them every time.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of celebrities in Xiangjiang were.

The two chatted and chatted, and the car had already driven into the place of the dinner.

It is a luxury estate located on the outskirts of the city, brightly lit and imposing.

Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran got out of the car together and walked into the gate of the manor holding hands.

The dinner has been going on for a while, but there are still quite a few people coming.

Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran walked into the banquet hall and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Both of them are handsome men and beauties with outstanding temperaments, so they naturally became the focus of attention.

The atmosphere of the dinner gradually heats up, and the characters are chatting happily under the gorgeous lighting.

Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran, as a pair of beautiful people at the dinner, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Just then, a discordant voice shattered the serenity.

"Yo, isn't this Jiang Chen? Why, you're here for this kind of occasion too? A young man in an expensive suit approached, with a hint of defiance in his tone.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, he didn't know this young man, but he could also feel the other party's unkindness.

He said lightly: "I'm here with Yanran, is there any problem?" ”

"Yanran? It's so affectionate. Yang Chengan sneered, "However, do you know what kind of occasion this is?" It's a charity dinner, not a place for little people like you. ”

The people around began to whisper, their eyes wandering between Jiang Chen and Yang Chengan.

Tang Yanran's face also became a little ugly, she tightened her grip on Jiang Chen's arm, and wanted to say something but was gently stopped by Jiang Chen.

This Yang Cheng'an may have seen him before, and he doesn't know himself at all.

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Chengan, and there was a chill in his eyes: "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are." However, if you dare to say a disrespectful word to Yanran again, I will make you regret coming to this world. ”

Yang Chengan's face changed, he obviously didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so tough.

He looked at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, but found that he was a little weak-hearted.

He swallowed and forced a calm appearance: "You...... Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? ”

"I'm Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen said lightly, "If you have any dissatisfaction or want to provoke, just come to me." However, if you dare to be rude to Yanran, I will never let you go. ”

Yang Chengan's momentum was instantly suppressed by Jiang Chen, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

The people around him also began to cast admiring glances at Jiang Chen.

At this moment, the host of the dinner came over: "Ladies and gentlemen, the charity auction is about to begin, please move to the auction area." ”

Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the auction area with the crowd.

Yang Chengan looked at their backs hatefully, but he didn't dare to make any more moves.

The auction area is beautifully furnished with a wide variety of precious lots.

Jiang Chen and Tang Yanran found a place to sit down and began to watch the auction.

"The next thing to be auctioned is a famous painting......" The host introduced the lot, but Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

He sensed that someone was secretly watching him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked around, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

At this moment, the auctioneer began to drop the hammer: "The starting price of this famous painting is 500,000 yuan, start bidding now!" ”

"Six hundred thousand!" Someone started bidding.

"Seven hundred thousand!" Someone raised the price again.

The auction of pieces brought the dinner to a climax, and the host announced that an extremely rare antique would be auctioned next, which is a piece of jade with a long history, which not only has high artistic value, but also carries profound cultural significance.

This antique immediately aroused the interest of many collectors and enthusiasts present.

"The next lot, the Qing Dynasty imperial green jade dragon pattern pendant, the starting price is 500,000!"

Jiang Chen's gaze was immediately attracted by the antique.

He whispered to Tang Yanran: "This jade is good, I intend to photograph it." ”

Tang Yanran smiled slightly and said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are determined to win." ”

Jiang Chen nodded, and was about to raise his card, but he heard a sharp voice coming from not far away: "Jiang Chen, are you also interested in this antique?" But I'm determined to get it! ”

Jiang Chen turned his head to look and found that it was Yang Cheng'an, who had tried to provoke him before, surrounded by a group of rich children who also looked ill-intentioned.

Yang Chengan raised the number plate in his hand and said loudly: "One million!" ”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't react immediately.

He turned to Tang Yanran and said, "It seems that tonight's bidding will be very interesting." ”

Tang Yanran responded softly: "Aren't you most afraid of boredom?" Now someone is having fun with you. ”

Jiang Chen smiled, and then slowly raised the number plate in his hand: "One and a half million." ”

Yang Chengan obviously didn't expect Jiang Chen to increase the price so decisively, and his face changed slightly.

But he didn't give up, gritted his teeth and said: "Two million!" ”

At this time, the surrounding guests began to whisper.
