Flower Fairy's Tribulation

The charity fundraising auction attracted 600 people. The hall was full and merchants were so crowded that the organizer had to remove most of the tables to make room.

There were six people sitting on the bidding table. The other five were all familiar to the deputy mayor of Lusheng City. The chubby old man in the middle wearing a peaked cap and a professional smile must be Geng Ruqiu. Everyone looked at him with a trace of difficulty in his eyes. An aware sneer.

Under the auspices of the emcee Xiao Ding, Geng Ruqiu first delivered a long speech for nearly 10 minutes, explaining in vain how the city government supported the operation of the Green Shengcheng Orphanage, and how it was so heartbreaking that Wang Po was selling his own mercies and boasting. Later, everyone was called on to donate enthusiastically to show their love for the next generation of Green Shengcheng.

The auction started, with 100 items to be auctioned. Geng Ruqiu himself generously donated 100 gold coins to buy the first children's graffiti painting. Green Sheng City's business community also gave face to it, and the average transaction price climbed from the previous 15-20 gold coins to about 50-60 gold coins, and five Each mayor also took a photo of a handicraft to show their sponsorship.

As soon as Lin Chenzhong and others entered the venue, they saw Shi Yan sitting in the front row under the protection of bodyguards. He was also invited to sit in the front row next to Shi Yan's special seat for him. They exchanged a few words and the two watched quietly. As the auction was in full swing, Geng Ruqiu was busy awarding certificates of honor to all the benefactors.

The last item to be auctioned was a toad mud doll. The starting price was 5 gold coins. The noisy audience fell silent as if the sound was turned off. They all looked at Shi Yan and Lin Chenzhong in the front row.

Shi Yan smiled and asked Lin Chenzhong: "My dear nephew, are you interested in being kind again and getting some clothes for the children?"

Lin Chenzhong chuckled and said, "That's necessary, senior, please go first!"

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Young people are very energetic and want to be in the limelight. You should come first, and I will take care of you!"

Lin Chenzhong thought hard about the meaning of his words: Give me a backup? Does that mean he's determined? Well, since you let me take the limelight first, I can just bid whatever you want!

Lin Chenzhong calmly raised his hand and said: "Starfish Jewelers will give you six gold coins!"

There was an uproar in the venue.

Several other mayors, business elites, and the chubby Geng Ruqiu who had experienced the previous auction knew how popular the last item was, and it even sold for a sky-high price of [-] gold coins yesterday.

They expected that the bidding between Shi Yan and Lin Chenzhong would be even more intense today, so no one was willing to bid before them and ask for trouble.

But he never expected that Lin Chenzhong would become silent. Geng Ruqiu was stunned and pretended to be calm, staring at the two of them.

The deputy mayors were stunned, thinking they heard wrongly. The audience was stunned, even Hua Yueying and others were stunned for a while.

Shi Yan looked at Lin Chenzhong in confusion. He showed a secretive smile and said politely: "Senior, it's your turn!"

Shi Yan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his dragon-headed crutch and made a quote under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes: "Seven gold coins!"

Everyone was stunned and speechless again, expressing their incomprehension, but Lin Chenzhong was very excited and immediately made a counteroffer: "Haixing Jewelry Company quoted eight gold coins!"

Shi Yan seemed to have suddenly understood what Lin Chenzhong meant, and he stood up and quoted angrily: "Lvsheng Jewelry Company quotes nine gold coins!"

The whole place was silent. They didn't understand what the old man and the young man meant and what tricks they were playing.

Lin Chenzhong stood up and said: "Well... my next offer will be ten gold coins. Ten gold coins means perfect, but there is never anything perfect in the world... I gave up..."

Everyone covered their heads and turned around, looking at him with their mouths wide open. Shi Yan patted Lin Chenzhong on the shoulder proudly, and the two sat down.

Shi Yan said: "Young people are polite and polite, that's good! I like it! I'm willing to make you a friend!"

Lin Chenzhong said: "It is a great honor for the juniors to learn from the seniors!"

Under the repeated questioning of Xiao Ding, the emcee, no one in the audience raised the price after Shi Yan's 9 gold coins. Shi Yan bought the last and expected popular item at the lowest price in the audience.

Shi Yan went on stage to deliver the cash in person, and Geng Ruqiu presented him with a charity certificate with a professional smile.

As usual, the emcee Xiao Ding would announce the highest bidder of the day as calculated by the financial bookkeeper as the benefactor of this charity fundraiser. As a result, the highest bid was actually 100 gold coins for the first item bought by Mayor Geng Ruqiu.

The mayor received the honorary title of Great Benevolent Person today with 100 gold coins, the lowest bid in several days. The whole audience was silent, not knowing whether to applaud or to remain awkwardly silent.

They were all confused. Geng Ruqiu and others looked at Shi Yan and Lin Chenzhong in confusion, wondering why they didn't continue to donate generously?

Shi Yan stood up and said loudly: "Mayor Geng generously donated money and won the title of Great Benevolent Person today. It can be seen that Mayor Geng is enthusiastic about charity and has a loyal and kind heart. He is a model for us to follow. We applaud warmly!"

As soon as he took the lead, Lin Chenzhong applauded, and then the whole audience burst into applause. Geng Ruqiu was as embarrassed as a roast chicken, with a red face and a thick neck.

After Deputy Mayor Zakun snickered and wrote a certificate of honor for a great philanthropist and presented it to the embarrassed Mayor Geng Ruqiu, the charity fund-raising auction ended amidst the laughter of Green Sheng City's business elites.
