The Secret Chamber of the Card Game
Chapter 432 [Charity Dinner]
The charity dinner will begin soon.
Xiao Rou picked up the microphone, smiled and said the opening remarks: "Thank you very much for coming to tonight's charity dinner. Over the years, the charity foundation I established has helped tens of thousands of homeless orphans. I owe it to myself, but it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I am very happy to see that everyone can retain this kindness to help others."
"Tonight, I took out some jewelry for public auction. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to poor areas and build free schools. I always believe that children are the future of the empire. We should treat these children well and do what we can help them grow..."
The princess has insisted on doing charity these years, helping many orphans who have lost their parents. Her evaluation among the people has always been very good, and her brief speech also received warm applause from all the guests.
The auction officially begins.
Not to mention good or bad, the jewelry that the princess took out in person, just the commemorative significance is enough to double the value of the jewelry. The auction's on-site bidding continued to rise, and an ordinary ruby bracelet even sold for a high price of 3000 million star coins.
Of course, since the concubine promised that all the money raised from the auction would be donated to the school, the person with the highest bid was considered to have made an indirect contribution to charity. Naturally, many wealthy businessmen would not let go of such a good opportunity to perform.
It lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, and only the last diamond necklace was left in the jewelry auction.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "The starting price for the diamond necklace is 800 million star coins."
People around kept making bids, and the price quickly exceeded tens of millions.
"1000 million!"
"1500 million!"
"2000 million!"
Bidding boards came and went, and when the bidding reached 3000 million, the number of bidders decreased significantly.
After all, the value of this necklace itself is far from that high, and you have to do what you can to do charity. The money of the rich is not blown from the sky. Donate tens of millions casually, and you have to think about it.
Auctioneer: "3000 million once, 3000 million..."
Shao Qingge smiled and raised the auction board.
The auctioneer was stunned, and said excitedly: "This gentleman bid - 5000 million!"
The guests at the scene looked back at him in shock.
The man who held up the bid card was slender and handsome. His chestnut hair was simply tied into a short ponytail at the back of his head. This hairstyle complemented his face and did not look like a girl at all. On the contrary, it made him look romantic. With an unruly demeanor, he squinted his eyes, half-smiling, that smile was extraordinarily captivating.
Many young ladies at the scene blushed, their hearts were pounding, and they discussed softly: "Who is this man? He is so handsome." "I have never seen..." "The princess held a charity dinner before, and he seems to have never come Ever?" "He was brought by Kevin, so rich!"
Mr. Shao, who is rich, spends money very capriciously.
Seeing him casually picking up a 5000 million auction card, Ye Qi was heartbroken.
Of course, the deposit in Mr. Shao's account is far more than this amount. In order to get close to Princess Xiaorou, it is reasonable for him to bid a high price for the diamond necklace.Anyway, as long as Mr. Shao goes out, he always spends some money—the prodigal Mr. Shao costs 500 million yuan to release a skill, so let's treat it as if he used ten skills.
The auctioneer looked at Shang Shao Qingge with smiling eyes, and immediately said: "5000 million once, 5000 million twice, 5000 million three times—deal! Thank you, sir, for your support of the charity foundation!"
There was warm applause at the scene, and many people were wondering - who is this handsome and rich strange man?
After the auction, there was a buffet dinner. Kevin took Shao Qingge and took the initiative to find the princess in the living room.
The princess smiled and said, "This gentleman doesn't seem to have seen it before?"
Kevin introduced courteously: "Princess, this is Shao Qingge, the boss of Noah Medical Technology Co., Ltd. in Luoke Empire. This is Mr. Shao's son, Shao Yeqi. Their father and son are traveling to Azure Empire this time, and they really want to visit You, I took the initiative to bring them to the charity dinner, the princess will not be angry, right?"
When Xiao Rou heard "Noah Medical Technology", the fingers beside her were suddenly clenched, but they were quickly released.
The expression on her face remained unchanged, and she still maintained a smile. After listening to Kevin's introduction, she stretched out her hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Shao. Thank you for bidding a high price for the diamond necklace and supporting our charity foundation."
Shao Qingge shook hands with the concubine politely: "You are welcome. I have heard of you since I was very young. Unfortunately, after the concubine got married 20 years ago, I have never had the chance to meet you. To see you today, it's my honour."
He took out the prepared sapphire necklace jewelry box and handed it in front of Xiao Rou: "I heard that the princess likes all kinds of jewelry. I happened to collect a sapphire necklace recently as a gift for the meeting. I hope the princess likes it."
Seeing him open the jewelry box, Xiao Rou saw that the necklace lying on the black flannelette was extremely exquisite, and the pure natural sapphire was the most beautiful one she had ever seen in her life. Xiao Rou's eyes flashed with amazement: "Mr. Too precious."
Shao Qingge's voice was gentle: "Precious jewelry can only complement each other if it is paired with a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament."
Ye Qi: "..."
Mr. Shao's rainbow fart skills are already full, and this flattery will come as soon as he says it.
I don't know if it's because of the effect of increasing favorability, Xiao Rou's eyes softened obviously after accepting the jewelry, she looked at Kevin, and said: "Mr. Kevin, you go to work first, I want to be alone with Mr. Shao chat."
Kevin backed away tactfully.
Only then did Xiao Rou look at Shao Qingge, and asked, "Mr. Shao, my father...is he alright?"
Shao Qingge said: "Your Majesty is in good health and spirit."
She was silent for a moment, then asked softly: "Where is my younger brother Xiao Lou? I heard that my father held a birthday party for him a few days ago. As an older sister, I can't go to congratulate myself because of the long distance."
Shao Qingge said: "His Royal Highness is very good, I also participated in his birthday party. By the way, I happen to have a video of the birthday party here. I wonder if the princess is interested?"
There was a flash of excitement in Xiao Rou's eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "Show me."
Shao Qingge turned on the video recording in the communicator.
In fact, this is a clip recorded by Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou with a drone at that time, and it is not Xiao Lou himself that appears on the screen, but the "Xiao Lou" at the birthday party.Whether he is the real prince, everyone is still not sure.
In the picture, "Xiao Lou" held the hand of his fiancée Lin Yan and greeted the guests politely. The young man in a royal dress looked handsome and personable.
However, after seeing the young man in the picture, Xiao Rou's face suddenly became ugly.
Her hands were trembling slightly, trying to control her emotions.Ye Qi carefully observed her movements and demeanor, and when he saw this, he said to Xiao Lou with a tacit understanding: "The princess watched the video, and her reaction was a little strange."
Xiao Lou said: "Look at her attitude again."
Looking at her pale face, Shao Qingge asked in doubt, "Princess?"
Xiao Rou came back to her senses, quickly adjusted her expression, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my brother for many years. I didn't expect him to be so old. I almost didn't recognize him... Mr. Shao laughed."
Shao Qingge said: "I understand." He paused, pretending to suggest kindly: "If the princess misses His Highness the Prince, why not go back and see him? I think His Highness also misses you very much."
With trembling hands, Xiao Rou stood up and said, "Mr. Shao, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back to the palace first."
Ye Qi asked with a tacit understanding: "Professor Xiao, she is leaving, I think she seems to be stimulated."
Xiao Lou said: "Let Mr. Shao give her something."
Ye Qi gently poked Shao Qingge's waist, Shao Qingge understood, took out an earphone and stuffed it in the jewelry box, put it close to Xiao Rou's ear, and said in a low voice: "Princess, make sure no one is watching your situation down, press the bump on the headset."
Xiao Rou looked around, put the earphones in her ears, and pressed the button.
Then, she heard a clear and soft voice in her ear: "Sister, I'm Xiao Lou, I want to see you."
Xiao Rou picked up the microphone, smiled and said the opening remarks: "Thank you very much for coming to tonight's charity dinner. Over the years, the charity foundation I established has helped tens of thousands of homeless orphans. I owe it to myself, but it is the result of everyone's joint efforts.
