074 A Brooch
After a while, the crowd at the reception began to move towards the seats next to them.
"The charity auction at the reception is about to begin. Mr. Li, why don't we go over and have a look?" Han Qin suggested.
"Yeah, okay." Li Nan agreed casually.
At this time, many people had already taken their seats, and Li Nan and Han Qin sat down directly in the back row.
In the first row, Zhang Zhilong and Liao Yanan had also sat down.
"Master Long, isn't the charity auction meant to donate money to those poor people? Wouldn't it be interesting?" Liao Yanan said excitedly.
"What's the point? Why not take advantage of this opportunity to do other interesting things." Zhang Zhilong looked at Liao Yanan with a lewd smile.
"Other interesting things? What do you mean?" Liao Yanan didn't quite understand.
Zhang Zhilong then came to Liao Yanan's ear and whispered a few words.
"What, here? If others see it, it will be embarrassing..." After hearing Zhang Zhilong's request, Liao Yanan's face suddenly showed a shy and resistant expression.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't there a cloth in front of this table? Besides, it's dark here, who will notice you!" Zhang Zhilong encouraged.
"But..." Although Liao Yanan was not an innocent girl, Zhang Zhilong's request was too open-minded, and Liao Yanan still couldn't accept it.
"But what? I brought you to such a high-end upper-class cocktail party. Didn't you say you want to repay me? Is it possible that you don't want to come next time?" Zhang Zhilong's face immediately turned ugly.
"How come, husband, you can't play without me!" Liao Yanan hurriedly acted coquettishly to please her.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Zhang Zhilong said impatiently.
Liao Yanan no longer dared to hesitate, and hurriedly squatted down and got under the table.
In front of a poor man like Li Nan, Liao Yanan could be arrogant and arrogant.
In front of girlfriends like Fang Qingtian and Yang Xiaoli, Liao Yanan can also pretend to show off in a low-key manner and show off her sense of superiority.
But in front of a truly rich kid like Zhang Zhilong, she, Liao Yanan, was nothing more than a plaything at the mercy of others.
The charity auction site was quickly filled with people, and people were already sitting on the seats to the left and right of Zhang Zhilong.
"Isn't this Mr. Long? Liu is truly lucky to be able to sit down with you!" A middle-aged man with a big belly on the right said with a smile.
"It's easy to talk about!" Zhang Zhilong said casually, but the expression on his face was a little strange.
With a bang, Mr. Liu's cell phone accidentally fell to the ground, and he hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
The next second, when he saw Liao Yanan under the table, he couldn't help but be startled. Liao Yanan was also startled.
But then, Mr. Liu showed a knowing expression towards the other party, and then stood up directly.
"How's it going? Mr. Liu's phone wasn't broken, right?" Zhang Zhilong said with a smile.
"No, it's just that Mr. Long is really blessed and enviable, hahaha..." There was something in Mr. Liu's words.
Zhang Zhilong also burst out laughing.
At this time, on the stage in front of him, a female host in an evening dress walked up with a smile on her face.
"Distinguished guests, I am very happy that you can attend Shangri-La's rooftop cocktail party tonight. What is going to be done next is a routine item at every rooftop cocktail party, which is the charity auction. Now, I will show you what will happen tonight.
Items for auction.”
Then, a hostess came up carrying a plate.
At the same time, the appearance of the items on the plate was displayed on the big screen on the stage.
It turned out to be a brooch.
There is an apple pattern on the top of the brooch, which looks very delicate.
"This brooch is called 'Ripe Fruit'. It was made by the Italian master Ferminillo. It is purely handmade and the only one in the world!" The host introduced the background of this brooch.
However, the people in the audience did not seem to be very interested in these backgrounds.
Seemingly aware of this, the female host smiled slightly and finally added, "Actually, this ripe fruit brooch has an important origin. It was an item once worn by Ms. Lin Shiyun!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience immediately became excited.
"What? Lin Shiyun? That national goddess Lin Shiyun?!"
"Big star Lin Shiyun! This is actually the personal belongings of big star Lin Shiyun!"
"Oh my God, this is so precious!"
Both men and women are very excited at this moment.
Because the name Lin Shiyun is so familiar to them, not just them, but there are only a few people in China who have never heard of the name Lin Shiyun.
Lin Shiyun is one of the most popular female stars in the entertainment industry today. With her tall figure, beautiful appearance, elegant temperament, and unique whisper, she has become the dream goddess in the minds of countless men, and has also made her the dream goddess of countless men.
Countless women are jealous of him.
It can be said that Lin Shiyun is the real national goddess in the Chinese entertainment industry today!
As if to verify the authenticity of this brooch, the female host also posted many pictures on the screen of Lin Shiyun wearing this brooch when participating in various activities.
When Lin Shiyun's beautiful photos appeared on the screen, it immediately aroused the excitement of countless people.
Even Zhang Zhilong had a greedy look in his eyes.
Although Liao Yanan couldn't see this, she could feel Zhang Zhilong's excitement at this time from his reaction.
No one had much interest in this brooch at first, but now they all became interested when they heard that it was actually an item worn by the national goddess Lin Shiyun.
After arousing everyone's enthusiasm, the host continued: "As usual, all funds raised from this charity auction will be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas for their growth and schooling needs.
Okay, now the charity auction has officially started. The starting price of this ripe fruit brooch worn by Ms. Lin Shiyun is 300,000 yuan! Which philanthropist is willing to fund it?"
"I'll pay 350,000!"
"I'll pay 400,000!"
"I'll pay 450,000!"
As soon as the auction started, everyone showed their enthusiasm.
But at this moment, a rather proud voice suddenly sounded.
"I'll give you one million!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar. They all looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Zhang Zhilong raising his chin, with a proud smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and an arrogant look on his face.
"I'm going to tell you who is so generous and gives out one million in one breath. It turns out to be Mr. Long!"
"It's over. Mr. Long has always been generous with his actions. This time, if nothing else happens, this brooch will definitely be his!"
Everyone was envious, and many rich and famous ladies looked at Zhang Zhilong with admiration in their eyes.
"As expected of Mr. Long! He is so generous when he makes a move!" Mr. Liu next to him said flatteringly with a thumbs up.
"It's only a hundred years away, it's nothing!" Zhang Zhilong's face was full of pride, and he naturally enjoyed the feeling of being admired by everyone around him.
At this time, even the female host on the stage was a little excited.
"Master Long is not only handsome, young and rich, but he is also a rare philanthropic person who can give you one million at a time. It is really a blessing for those poor children to meet such a philanthropic person like Master Long! I would like to thank those poor children first.
There are fewer dragons!”
For these wealthy people, charity is just a way to show off their status. It is not clear whether they really have that kind of compassion.
At this moment.
"I'll pay 1.05 million!" A big boss raised the price in disbelief.
"One and a half million!" Zhang Zhilong pressed forward unceremoniously.
"I'll pay 1.55 million!" Another rich man raised the price.
"Two million!" Zhang Zhilong suppressed again without politeness.
"Damn it...two million! This Young Master Long is determined to win it!"
"It seems there is no need to take any more photos. This brooch must belong to Mr. Long!"
Everyone has basically recognized this.
At this time, the host on the stage was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"Two million! Master Long actually offered two million! Is there anyone who offers a higher price? If not, then I will declare that this brooch belongs to Master Long?"
Zhang Zhilong smiled proudly and looked determined to win.
"Two million times!" the host started the countdown.
"Han Qin, all the donations will be donated, is it true?" Li Nan, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked curiously.
"Of course, there is no doubt about this!" Han Qin answered with certainty.
"Oh." Li Nan nodded.
"Twice a million times!"
"Two million three..."
"I'll give you 10 million!" A plain voice suddenly sounded.
Chapter completed!
