Against the current Hengdao

At night, Linwan Port is full of stars and dresses up, and the long river of lights and shadows forms a lingering curve along the wharf and coastal roads.This day is exactly the schedule of the charity auction dinner of "Starry Harbor Concerns Children's Foundation" led by the chairman of Simple Celebrity Group.

The location of the charity dinner is Chairman Jian's own site, Linwan "Red Square".

Celebrities gathered in the hall of the venue, and their fragrant clothes and shadows echoed Gu Panqiao's beautiful eyes and red lips.With a glance in the hall, dozens of business executives, as well as star models and hosts from the film and television circles come in droves.These heavyweight guests are enough to attract media reporters flocking here.

The high-profile charity with great fanfare is also a kind of spectacle activity in which people from all walks of life in the circle take what they need, and all parties hit it off.The brokerage company arranges several charity announcements for their own stars every year to decorate their appearance and reputation. After all, each movie is paid 8000 million yuan, and charitable donations do not exceed 80 yuan, which cannot be justified.And for real estate investment giants like simple and famous people, capital groups that are invincibly rich, they can't wait for the real estate prices to be as high as the sky, and they can beat the sky. Just an apartment will let ordinary people go bankrupt. For the capitalists, do charity The little drizzle is to frame and paste gold on the face, which is the need to maintain social prestige and status.

Yan Xiaodao and Ling He stepped into the main entrance of the stadium.

The two showed up at the same time, without avoiding suspicion, immediately filled the "Red Square" with brilliance, making the whole hall full of brilliance, they are the two most dazzling "flowers" that add to the grand occasion!

It was the second time they visited this place hand in hand. The last time Mr. Yan was still pushing a wheelchair, someone was still pretending to be lame on the wheelchair.

The last concert was also the last concert of Mr. Mai's life. The old man is no longer there, and it is embarrassing.

There was only one person missing at the scene today, the idiot who was good at threading needles and making gags on the scene, so he realized the importance of that guy.The second child of the Jian family, Jian Mingjue, who was well-versed in everything and everything, disappeared without a trace.It is well known in the circle that this is strange, but everyone pretends not to know: this man was sent to the United States for intestinal reconstruction and chrysanthemum repair surgery, and he dared not show up in the mainland for several years.

There was one meter between Mr. Yan and Mr. Ling, and he kept a reserved distance.

When acquaintances came over to greet each other, Yan would casually introduce the people around him: "This is the new financial and marketing director of our group. He has just taken over and is very capable. Please take care of him and support him!"

The people who passed by each other whispered behind their backs, "Isn't it Boss Yan's best friend in the bed? By selling themselves and selling their positions, they have become vice presidents!"

"Isn't it? It's said that the godson and this vixen have teamed up to divide up Baoding Group's 60 billion assets! The method and efficiency of this high-ranking person to make money can instantly kill all the fresh meat in the entertainment industry. This is a shortcut to settle down..."

Ling He's braids hung quietly on the nape of his neck, without trembling or messing up, and he turned a deaf ear to the gossip and gossip.

Ling He wore a dark blue velvet suit tonight. The breast pocket was decorated with purple lavender and baby's breath corsages. His whole person was gorgeous and dazzling. Under the shadow of the chandelier in the hall, his whole person was radiant.

Yan Xiaodao was a little strange, and asked Ling He before leaving the house, why are you wearing such bright clothes today?

The charity dinner was held in the last celebration reception hall.Each of the large round tables is decorated with flower groups composed of pink lilies and blue hydrangeas.There is also a row of extra-large flower baskets at the entrance, adding momentum to Chairman Jian.Among them was the flower basket presented by Mr. Yan. The two couplets on it seemed to say "Hanging the Pot to Help the World" and "Compassionate Kindness".

For this kind of banquet, the organizer doesn't have to pay any money, and each guest has to pay for the tickets and drinks by himself, but everyone is willing to come to the opportunity to show their faces and make headlines.

Chairman Jian Mingxun greeted the guests with a cane, and shook hands with everyone one by one, always showing a low-key and kind face of a good old man.Even if the man hadn't been dragged down by polio, he wouldn't have been like Jane's second child.Due to their temperament, some people are naturally bohemian, while others are naturally stable and meticulous.

Yan Xiaodao nodded and shook hands with Jian Mingxun politely, and smiled to reminisce about the old days. The past quarrels are no longer mentioned now.In the business field, there are only permanent interests, but no permanent enemies.

Jian Mingxun's eyes slid across Ling He's face, his eyes were warm and moist as usual, but they always seemed to be out of focus, and there was no real emotion in his pupils.Jian Mingxun shook Ling He's hand with his thick and fleshy hand, then let go of it as if nothing had happened, and turned to the next guest...

"You haven't met Boss Jane before, have you?" Yan Xiaodao sat down at the big round table where the two of them belonged, and asked casually.

"What do you think?" Ling He smiled, not telling the truth.

Their seats were originally arranged for Lord Qi, just to the right of the first row, a very important and conspicuous position.

Greetings, a toast, dinner after dinner, full of wine and food, everyone's eyes were full of wine and flushed, and the highlight of the auction came on stage.

Yan Xiaodao and Ling He sat and watched with their legs crossed, occasionally turning their heads to whisper and joke with each other.

Ling He: "That navel-baring sequined stage outfit is not bad, let's shoot it, CEO?"

Yan Xiaodao: "You wear it? I'll shoot it if you wear it."

Ling He: "Don't let outsiders see it, you wear it, I like to see it."

Yan Xiaodao: "This set of Victoria Crystal bra underwear, I will take this."

Ling He: "Who do you want to send?!"

Yan Xiaodao: "Send... you... ah... don't let outsiders see, you can wear that bra for me to see."

Ling He: "Get lost."

Yan Xiaodao: "It also has feathers and big wings. It's very pretty. It can let you fly up to the sky."

Bastard... Ling He was thinking in his heart, after returning home tonight, he must fly Mr. Yan up!

While the two of them were chatting and picking their teeth after dinner, all kinds of fancy things on the stage were photographed one by one, and the goods went away so fast that it was dazzling.

This was originally an occasion to send money to decorate the appearance, and the auction was like a task assigned by each family.The money must be given away. You take away my underwear with body odor, and I take away your dance skirt that reveals your belly button and pubic hair. The acquaintances hold a personal field, compare the bidding, and finally sell the price It's all 50 upwards.

Yan Xiaodao also participated in the auction, and took a set of his favorite enamel and colored porcelain wine set, which he planned to display at home and drink with Mr. Ling.

He took the initiative to take pictures of two sets of famous brand men's clothing and expensive leather shoes for Ling He, although Ling He kept pretending to be reserved and said no, and kept kicking the toe of his shoes to show his protest.He likes someone in his heart, so he always wants to give him the best things.

Every round of auction is successful, the enthusiasm of the on-site host almost overflows the face, and a large number of provocative lines are overwhelming, bringing out the rhythm of tears and joy.Every time at this time, a few mountain village boys who look like elementary school students sitting next to the host will receive the signal from the adults to stand up, open a pair of timid and even slightly melancholy and conflicting eyes, and bow to the audience expressionlessly, Hands accept symbolic checks with large letters of amount.These children were temporarily "recruited" from the outlying counties of Jizhou Province. They had never seen the astonishing numbers filled in the checks. After these numbers were exploited by commercial routines and intercepted by the local authorities, there was not much leftovers in the end. It can also fall into the mouths of children.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ling He glanced at Chairman Jian who was sitting at the main table.

The main lights that can sing frequently hit this person's face, Jian Mingxun nodded and smiled frequently, and thanked the guests who paid for the auction.The face damaged by the Jian family due to the Mai Yunliang case had been repaired inch by inch by Chairman Jian, and it was exhausting.

Jianjian Group is the number one taxpayer and investor in Linwan New District. Chairman Jian Mingxun has been pursuing the belief of good deeds and good deeds in the circle for many years. He has multiple titles in the political and business circles, and he has a high prestige.The romantic case caused by Jane's second child and Ms. Zhao can be said to be the biggest black spot of Boss Jane's life. After all, this little episode was gradually forgotten and would not touch the most fundamental interests and status of the Jane family.

……

The auction was nearing the end of the first half, and some people had already left the seats sparsely, preparing for the intermission.

Ling He also got up and urinated for 10 minutes, but Yan Xiaodao didn't notice which passage Ling He turned into.

At this time, the host read the names of Chairman Qi Baoshan and Vice President Yan Xiao of Baoding Group, praised them enthusiastically, and then invited out the auction items that Lord Qi and President Yan contributed to the charity party.

Yan Xiaodao bowed to show his respect to Boss Jian at the main table. Jian Mingxun waved his hand and responded with a kind smile.

The hostess brought the lot to the auction table.The watch box is decorated with precious wood and blue velvet, and inside the box stands a shining Swiss watch.

The blue watch box was so familiar, Yan Xiaodao was stunned by the light!

This is not the lot he brought at all!He originally brought two collections of Lord Qi.Qi Baoshan usually likes to play with antiques. He has a set of expensive Go chess sets, chess pieces made of Hetian jade with a black meteorite board, and a precious miniature screen carved with red coral.

But it was this watch box that was submitted for on-site bidding.

Yan Xiaodao was in a daze for a while, thinking that it was the one he kept in his collection, but the details were shown on the large projection screen, and he could tell at a glance that it was not the same watch.This watch belongs to the same brand, and it is extremely exquisite and gorgeous. The dial is a famous European painting, surrounded by aquamarines and diamonds.This has obviously jumped from everyday consumer goods to the level of value-preserving collectibles, that is, limited edition diamonds bought to show off the collection.

The host made witty remarks and boasted wildly, and everyone in the audience was very interested, and all the peeing turned around one after another.Many people took a fancy to this limited diamond watch and took out their bidding signs.

Someone at the next table commented seriously: "This is a limited collection that came out more than ten years ago. The global production is only 68 pieces. It was sold out when it was released. I didn't expect to see it again!"

Yan Xiaodao's breathing was stagnant, but his face remained calm. At this moment, it was impossible to stand up and stop the auction.He suddenly turned his head to look at Ling He beside him.

Apparently, Ling He just quietly went backstage and exchanged the auction items with the organizer.

Ling He is more composed than Xiaodao, calmly looking straight ahead.He had waited a long time for this moment, and he no longer had to hide it from the public.This watch is the precious "collection" that he wants to throw out today. It is absolutely priceless, and one stone will stir up thousands of waves!

On the chairman's table, Chairman Jian's complexion was dim and stiff under the light, his hands were still clapping subconsciously, but his wrists were already convulsed and trembling.The main lighting on the stage was very blind. It kept sweeping towards Chairman Jian's position, reflecting a mask made of blue eggshells on this person's face. This mask seemed to be broken and fragile.Sweat kept flowing from the edge of the mask, and it was about to wash away the glue that adhered the mask to the skin, forcing the mask to fall off...

The original price of this watch is high, and the bidding price has been soaring all the way. It has already reached several million.

Among all the people present, it seems that only three people really know the inside story.

Yan Xiaodao reached out and grabbed Ling He's hand. No wonder Mr. Ling showed his face in a fancy dress today.

Ling He actually owns a watch of the same brand that is very similar to Mr. Mai's. The price is more expensive and the model looks brand new, so he may have never worn it.

Chairman Jian didn't dare to look at them, hiding the shaking and convulsions behind his sick body suffering from polio.

After experiencing twists and turns, everything returned to the original point, as if it was a game arranged in the dark.

At the place where Mr. Mai held his last concert, Yan Xiaodao saw such a watch again.This watch is like a portable ornament that symbolizes a certain status, such as the psychic jade held under the neck of Second Master Bao.

However, on this beautiful piece of decoration, the dial is covered with vicious insects and scorpions, the diamonds flash with ferocious eyes, and the case is stained with the smell of blood from the inside to the outside.

……

Chairman Jian whispered a few words to his assistant, who hurried to the backstage.

As a result, the auction of this famous watch was interrupted by an excuse, which disappointed the audience.The host announced the end of the first half of the auction, there was a break for tea and the second half continued.Of course, this eye-catching watch will not appear in the second half. Qi Ye's collection of chess sets and coral screens once again grabbed the audience's attention.

Yan Xiaodao pulled Ling He out of the venue, and in the brightly lit corridor, he did not avoid suspicion, hugged Ling He vigorously, feeling distressed and helpless: "Baby...you...cough!"

In fact, he didn't fully understand: "What did Jian Mingxun do?"

"The king of Chu likes to have a thin waist, and the people below observe his words and feelings, so they naturally do everything they can to do what they like." Ling He was so aggressive that he hit the nail on the head, "Boss Jian's legs and feet have been weak since she was a child, and she can't stand up straight anyway, which is just right for bowing her knees."

Yan Xiaodao was preoccupied: "So, what happened to the second child of the Jian family... did you do it on purpose?"

Not only did Ling He not deny his initial step-by-step, but he threw out more details in the face of Xiaodao: "I set up a bureau on the 'Cloud Account', and sent messages to five people in total, Qi Ye, Secretary You, Deputy Director Tan, Jian Mingxun, Liang Tong. I didn't know where that Lord Ting was at the time, and I naively thought that he was sending me secret messages, but in fact he sent two yellow-haired killers to kill me directly and simply."

Tan Shaoan was the one who secretly passed a note to Linghe to leak the secret, and Yan Xiaodao firmly believed that among the other four, Boss Jian, who was well-off and well-off, played a role similar to Liang Tong. It must be the long-term partnership's collusion and unscrupulous rent-seeking for interests.

Not long after that night, the charity auction ended successfully in a calm atmosphere, and all walks of life reached harmony and unity.

When the venue was cleared and the music ended, Yan Xiaodao glanced at it by chance and found a media reporter carrying a camera equipment in the crowd who looked familiar.

That person passed by in a hurry, probably also aware that President Yan had recognized him, he winked secretly, and disappeared quickly.

Yan Xiaodao remembered that this was Captain Xue's plainclothes officer. He had seen this plainclothes police officer when he went to Jinxiu Imperial Court to pursue Guo Zhaobin a few days ago—Chairman Jian seemed to be in trouble.

Jian Mingxun staggered out of the venue on crutches, with a humble smile on his chubby face, and shook hands with dignitaries from all walks of life to express his gratitude.From a distance, this man looks like a wax gourd who is half-height but not short. His face and figure perfectly interpret the four characters of "stocky and honest", and he looks like an honest man.

Ling He, who was wearing a dark blue velvet suit, appeared in front of Chairman Jian and stretched out his right hand.

Jian Mingxun was so excited by the dazzling blue that his hands and feet trembled, and he was dazzled by his restlessness. He thought that a mountain made of blue velvet watch boxes in front of him blocked his way, which made his lame legs bend even more in fright!

Yan Xiaodao finally understood that Ling He almost "worn" this watch box on his body today.

The two shook hands, and Ling He nodded in greeting: "Chairman Jian, we've met again, after so many years, don't come here without any problems."

"Don't come here without any problems." Jian Mingxun said hoarsely, "Thank you, Mr. Ling and Mr. Yan, for coming to join us, thank you."

Ling He said: "I will visit Chairman Jian in person when I have time some other day, so that we can catch up with old friends."

Jian Mingxun has seen the wind and waves very graceful, and nodded resignedly: "Okay, I will definitely invite Mr. Ling to catch up on the old days."

Ling He smiled calmly: "I am waiting for Chairman Jian's invitation.

"In addition, you don't have to return the Swiss watch that Mr. Yan took out for auction. You can keep it for yourself and enjoy it!"
