Entertainment Industry Acting Emperor

Xi Qing didn't expect to meet Gongxi Qiao here. When he saw Qiao Lanfen sitting opposite Gongxi Qiao, he turned his head and said a few words to the people behind him, then walked towards Gongxi Qiao.

"Hello, Aunt Qiao." Xi Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, trying her best to make her smile more natural.

"Mr. Xi," Qiao Lanfen recognized Le Xiqing, with a gentle smile on his face, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't mind, let's sit down and eat together."

Xi Qing glanced at the few people not far away, and said with some regret: "Thank you, auntie, it's just that today is a little unfortunate, and I have already made appointments with some friends. I'm really sorry, next time I will treat you and apologize to you."

"You and Xiao Qiao are friends, so you don't need to be so polite," Qiao Lanfen said with a smile, "Since you have already made an appointment with friends, then come to our house as a guest when you have time, and treat it as friends visiting each other."

"Okay, I will definitely pay a visit." The smile on Xi Qing's face became warmer, he bent down and whispered in Gong Xiqiao's ear, "I will have dinner with a few elders today, next time we will make an appointment alone .”

Gong Xiqiao looked back at a few people not far away, all of them were around 60 years old, with a taste of pampering all over her body, and she had a bottom line in her heart: "It's okay, I was just shopping with my mother, and I happened to be passing by here to eat something Things, you go to your own business."

"Well," although Xi Qing felt a little pity, but he didn't show it on his face. After apologizing to Qiao Lanfen again, he returned to his companion.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with this Mr. Xi." Qiao Lanfen smiled. As Xi Qing, if she was not close to Xiao Qiao, how could she be so polite to herself.

She has come into contact with many people over the years, and has also dealt with nobles from aristocratic families.People from aristocratic families, under the mask of politeness, often hide their arrogance.They are impeccably elegant, but they always make people feel a feeling of being overlooked.

However, Xi Qing's politeness to her just now was not to maintain the illusion of elegance and politeness, but to respect her from the heart.

"He's quite nice," Gongxi Qiao said after hesitating for a while, "I like him a lot."

Qiao Lanfen nodded with a smile: "I also admire such an outstanding young man."

Gongxi Qiao smiled and didn't say much.

In the box, Xi Qing glanced over the elders without saying a word.If he didn't speak, it doesn't mean that the other people can hold their breath. After a short silence, the oldest skinny old man among them spoke: "I heard that our family's property and the Bai family's side have caused a lot of trouble. "

After saying these few words, he saw that Xi Qing didn't respond, so he became more confident: "Although our Xi family has a bad relationship with the Bai family, it's not very good-looking after all, and it's not good for others to see. It's a joke of our family. Is this...isn't it pretty?"

Xi Qing picked up the purple sand teapot and poured herself a cup of tea steadily. After the other party finished speaking, she slowly said: "The reason why the uncles came to see me this time is for the matter of the Bai family?"

The skinny old man hesitated for a moment, considering his tone, trying not to let Xi Qing feel that he was pointing fingers at Xi's decision: "We have no intention of opposing you, it's just a small chat."

"I understand your concerns, but in the past six months, the Bai family has been acting more and more ostentatiously. Recently, after cooperating with an overseas company, they even ignored the rules in the circle and offended many people," Xi Qing slowly rolled her hands "Since he came to provoke me, how can I not let him do what he wants?"

The two of them looked at each other when they heard the words, knowing in their hearts that Xi Qing had made up his mind, so they didn't dare to say more.If Xi Qing's father was the head of the family back then, they could still express their opinions, but this nephew is not as gentle as his father.Those in the family who are not knowledgeable have learned their lesson a long time ago. They are old, and they don't want to offend Xi Qing and make the whole family have a bad life.

People are so strange sometimes, they have no opinion when facing gentle people and picking and choosing people, but facing cruel people.

They couldn't bring it up on official business, and they didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so they simply changed the subject, "The young man I met outside just now is your friend? It seems to be some famous little artist .”

Xi Qing: "Yes."

I feel like I can't talk about this topic anymore.

The elders spent very little time with Xi Qing, and there was no so-called blood relationship. Today, they took the liberty to find him because of the Bai family's affairs, and they have begun to regret it.Seeing that Xi Qing didn't seem to be interested in talking about that little artist now, they didn't mention it anymore, but they were a little curious in their hearts, how could Xi Qing be friends with an artist.

The delicious food was served on the table, finally alleviating the embarrassment in the atmosphere.The dining table culture of Huaguo has a magical power, any emotion and embarrassment can be temporarily overcome in front of food.

After a non-embarrassing lunch, when Xi Qing walked out of the private room, she saw that the table where Gong Xiqiao was sitting had already had a new customer.Feeling a little lost in his heart, he walked out of Fengxiang Building, looked at the gloomy sky, and remembered the hotel on that rainy day.

"Boss," the bodyguard opened the car door for him, and whispered, "When Young Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao came out, I heard they seemed to be talking about tonight's charity party."

The imperial capital holds a charity party every year, with celebrities from all walks of life providing items, and then bidding on the spot, and all the money from the auction is donated to charity.

This charity gala is not only a place for rich people to show sympathy, but also a place for comparison.You say you are rich, but you are reluctant to donate something to make money. Is this justified?

Therefore, although this party is interested in fame and fortune, it does indeed bring benefits to those in need.

On such occasions, the aristocratic family has always been the highlight, so sometimes Xi Qing will appear in person, and sometimes send representatives.

"I see," Xi Qing nodded towards the bodyguard, "I'll get someone to bring my dress over later."

Gong Xiqiao received the invitation letter for the charity party separately from his parents. In his current capacity, it is not surprising that he received such an invitation letter alone.

When he arrived, the scene was already full of clothes, and it was extremely lively.There were also quite a few TV station reporters present, presumably to catch a few celebrities to interview and make headlines.

He had just walked less than two steps away when he heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was the superstar Gu Nan.

Then Gong Xiqiao saw Gu Nan walking straight towards him. Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, there was a friendly and respectful smile on his face: "Brother Nan."

"Mr. Qiao, good evening." Gu Nan had a bright smile on his face. When he saw the media coming, he took the initiative to hold Gongxi Qiao's shoulders and let the media take pictures.

Facing the camera, the two laughed 360 degrees without any dead ends. Although they knew each other in their hearts, they were not familiar with each other at all.

Some media came forward to interview the two about what items they donated. Gong Xiqiao didn’t rush to answer. After waiting for Gu Nan’s answer, he kept a humble attitude and said, “The things I donated are not as meaningful as Brother Nan. There is only one A painting and a ring, I hope to get a good price at that time, so as to raise more funds for poor children."

Compared with the fame in the entertainment industry, Gu Nan can beat Gongxi Qiao by two blocks, but in terms of economic strength, Gu Nan may not be able to compare with Gongxi Qiao.Fortunately, Gongxi Qiao defended Gu Nan very much in his words, and he didn't say how much the things he donated were worth, so as to avoid the embarrassment of Gu Yingdi being compared with him.

In the eyes of the media, Gu Nan's news value is naturally higher than that of Gongxi Qiao, so they didn't ask in detail. After asking a lot around Gu Nan, they let the two enter the gate.

"What's Qiao Shao's number?" Gu Nan's tone was very gentle, his whole person exuded a kind of gentleness, he didn't show off because he was a superstar, but more like a caring big brother, "If it's a coincidence, We can still sit together."

But unfortunately, Gong Xiqiao is No. 46, he is No. 41, and there is a distance of 5 seats between them.

"It's a pity," Gu Nan showed regret on his face, "I wanted to sit with you at first."

"There will be opportunities in the future," Gongxi Qiao said with a smile, "but next time Brother Nan, don't call me Young Master Qiao, just call me Xiao Qiao."

Gu Nan smiled heartily: "When I returned to China, I participated in the premiere of "National Industry". We must talk more."

"My acting skills are not proficient enough. Brother Nan, you will laugh at me." Gong Xiqiao showed a shy face, and played a very good role as a junior who was praised by a superstar.

After the two complimented each other a few more words, they separated and sat down. After sitting down, Gu Nan did not forget to smile at him through the people in the middle.

Gongxi Qiao recalled with a smile, but felt a little defensive in his heart.The living environment in his previous life made him develop a habit, that is, people who rush up to show courteousness inexplicably are suspicious in his eyes.

He doubted for a long time that Xi Qing would invite him to dinner as soon as they met, let alone an artist who Xu Chao had hinted that he might offend Xi Qing.

The charity gala began, and the opening scene was a performance by the rescued children.Their performance seemed blunt and tense to Gong Xiqiao, but after the performance, he still applauded seriously.

Then the auction started, and most of the things that were put up first were brand-name bags, hats, shawls and the like.The signed t-shirt donated by Gu Nan was bought by one of his local tyrants at a high price of 78 yuan, which earned enough face for Gu Nan.

Gong Xiqiao raised the sign several times, but nothing was photographed.

"The next auction item is a men's black gemstone ring with exquisite workmanship. The net weight of the gemstone is 3 carats. The cut luster is top-notch, and it looks noble when worn on the hand. It was donated by Mr. Gongxi No. 46. The reserve price is 10, and the auction begins."

The price of black gemstones varies from high to low, and different materials and cut gloss are the key points.There were rich people at the scene, so when they saw the photo of the ring on the big screen, they knew the auction item in their hearts. Although this ring is not a rare treasure, the workmanship and shape design are very beautiful. The base price of [-] is considered an extremely low estimate.

Mr. Gongxi at No. 46, isn’t he Gongxi Qiao?

So when this product started to be auctioned, it quickly attracted countless bidders, and most of the bidders were actually women. Although this men's ring was of no use to them, it did not affect their enthusiasm for bidding in the slightest.

The lively auction scene once again made people understand a truth, that is, face is very important.

After several rounds of bidding, the price of this ring worth less than 15 yuan has reached more than 40 yuan. According to the enthusiasm of the women at the scene, the price will continue to rise.

Xi Qing looked at the enlarged photo of the ring on the screen, and raised the number plate in her hand.

"120 million!"

All the ladies turned their heads angrily, who would be so ignorant to snatch from them something that a handsome man has worn next to his body?But when they saw clearly who was holding the sign, the anger in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

Mr. Xi and Mr. Qiao are good friends, so the money spent is reasonable and reasonable.

When Xi Qing said this, no matter whether the others felt sorry for the money or did not dare to argue with him, no one would continue to ask for the price anyway.

Gong Xixiong whispered in Qiao Lanfen's ear: "Why is Mr. Xi so close to our son?" Is it stupid to pay more than ten times the price for a ring that doesn't fit his finger?

Qiao Lanfen raised her eyebrows: "You are not as generous as a friend when you are a father."

Gong Xixiong: Is there any reason for this? What’s the point of taking pictures of things donated by your own son as a father?

"Mr. Xi is so bold." Bai Zhong sat next to Xi Qing, and he looked at the brocade box containing the ring in Xi Qing's hand sarcastically, "I am willing to spend such a sum of money for a shabby ring."

Putting the brocade box into his suit pocket, Xi Qing didn't dislike the suit pocket bulging with the box at all. After doing these actions, he said indifferently: "Thank you for the compliment."

With Gong Xiqiao's status in the painting and calligraphy world, his donated painting "Winter Snow" became one of the finale auction items. As soon as it appeared, it aroused the interest of many people.

Snow, red plums, and the shadowy back of a woman.This is an uncomplicated painting, but it has an indescribable artistic conception.

Whether they really understood art or pretended that they knew art, many people present expressed great enthusiasm for this painting.

"100 million." In order to show his wife that he still supports his son, Gong Xixiong quickly called out a high price of 100 million.

It's a pity that someone immediately surpassed the price he gave.

"150 million," Bai Zhong lazily held up his number plate. He was not angry when he heard someone bid higher than himself. Talent, no wonder you appreciate him, even I am interested in him."

Xi Qing glanced at him expressionlessly, no emotion could be seen in her deep eyes.

"300 million." Xi Qing held up the number plate. After hearing Gong Xixiong's price of 310 million, he hesitated for a moment and didn't bid any more.

It was neither he nor Gong Xixiong who took the picture of "Winter Snow" in the end, but a member of the Xue family.

At the end of the party, when the show was about to leave, Xi Qing said to Bai Zhong with a sullen face, "Boss Bai cherishes the present day."

Hearing this, Bai Zhong was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he only saw the back of Xi Qing leaving, choking so hard that he couldn't vomit or swallow, and even the smile on his face was distorted.
