Rebirth Turn

The charity auction will be held at [-]pm, but guests will be able to register from [-]pm in the Regent Hotel's top-floor ballroom.

Sir Chen, the host of this charity auction, is also a celebrity.Sir Chen's ancestral home is in Hong Kong. He started from scratch in his early years and set up a large family business. After the age of 50, he began to devote himself to charity. Not only did he donate a large amount of money every year, but he also used his influence to hold regular All proceeds from the charity auction will be used for charity.At that time, he had not yet returned and was still part of the United Kingdom. The Queen of England heard about his deeds, and in recognition of his good deeds, awarded him the title of baron. After that, people called him Sir Chen.

Sir Chen is now 80 years old, and he is still vigorous and vigorous.Since his return, his charity auctions have not only been held in Hong Kong, but a city is chosen every year, and the most famous and wealthy people in that city are invited to participate.

Sir Chen's charity auction is open and transparent.Each invited guest will bring one or several donations, and each donation will be marked with who donated it, and then it will be auctioned on the spot. To the relevant auction house, the sale price will still be announced after the auction house sells.After each auction, the invited guests will receive a pamphlet carefully made by Sir Chen, which contains a list of all the guests of that auction, the items donated, the price, and the final auction price.

These celebrities are not short of money, what they want is face and fame.Sir Chen's charity auction will save face and provide a good opportunity to show off. It's nice to talk about doing charity.Therefore, those who are generally invited will only feel honored and will not refuse.

Although there is no limit to the value of the donations at the auction, even if you just donate a piece of paper, but in such an open and transparent environment, everyone is only afraid that their donation is not good enough, and they will be compared by others up.

Although the starting price is set by each donor, it is impossible to deliberately increase the price of a donation if you want to shoddy it, because each auction will invite experts from all walks of life to conduct strict inspections on each donation. Appraisal, especially donations such as antique calligraphy and paintings that are prone to fakes.

There was once a guest who proudly donated a valuable antique in his collection, wanting to win the first prize, but it turned out to be a fake under the appraisal of an expert. Although it was also valuable, it was far less than the price that the guest himself thought.That guest immediately became a laughing stock, and for a long time this incident was talked about as a joke by people in the circle.

After that, each guest strictly checked the donated items. After all, losing money and wealth is a small matter, but losing face is a big problem.

Sir Chen's charity auction this year happened to be held in this city. As one of the most prestigious families in this city, the Su family was naturally on the invitation list. On such an occasion, of course Su Mo would personally participate.

Each invited guest can bring a companion, whether it is a wife, lover, friend, or subordinate.The accompanying companions do not need to donate, but if they want to donate, they can also, and they will also be included in the list.

Lu Yan and Su Mo met in the parking lot of the Regent Hotel. After reaching the top floor, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, someone blocked the way and asked to show the invitation letter. Su Mo handed over the invitation letter, and someone politely led them to the Registry.

The donation Su Mo donated was a million-dollar watch, and the expert next to him checked it out and registered it.

Lu Yan was not required to donate, but he came prepared today. When he took out his donation, the registration staff couldn't believe it. After saying "wait a moment", they sent someone down to verify the authenticity. fake.

Soon after the appraiser came back and confirmed that the situation was true, and after receiving further confirmation from Lu Yan, the registration officer was also a little excited. He held Lu Yan's hand, "Mr. Lu, thank you very much for your generosity. This donation is absolutely It is the most valuable donation since Sir Chen held a charity auction, are you really sure you want to donate it?"

Lu Yan smiled and nodded, "I'm very sure."

The registration staff said a bunch of words of thanks again, and then asked someone to lead the two of them to the front row.

The layout of the banquet hall is different from ordinary auctions, but more relaxed and casual. There are small round tables neatly arranged in the banquet hall, and each guest and his companions have a round table independently.

The location arrangement is also quite particular, basically according to the value of the donations from near to far.Of course, because each guest arrives in a sequential order, and the registration personnel cannot predict the donations made by others, so the seats are only roughly arranged according to past experience.Not very accurate.It's just that if you can sit in the front row as soon as you drive, at least it can show that the guest's donation is definitely worth a lot.

Drinks and refreshments are placed on each round table.After the guests are seated, the staff will soon deliver a sign with their names on it, so that they can bid when the auction starts later.Because there are not many people, there is no number, and the names are used directly. Every time the price is called, the names of the guests will be reported. Generally, the guests whose names are reported at this time will feel proud.This kind of bidding card is not only available to guests, but to everyone who has a donation, so even Lu Yan, who is not a guest, got a bidding card because of his donation.

This kind of bidding card is also divided into grades. According to the starting price of the donation, it is yellow for less than 100 million, silver for more than 100 million and less than 500 million, and gold for more than 500 million.Su Mo's card is silver, while Lu Yan's is the highest grade gold.In order to arouse the sense of competition among the guests, the organizer really spared no effort.Lu Yan sighed in his heart, but he didn't plan to take any pictures, so he just held the sign.

Lu Yan and Su Mo came earlier, they were almost the first to arrive.

Su Mo knew Lu Yan's day's schedule very well, so he asked directly, "How's today's audition going?"

Lu Yan smiled, "It's already taken."

Su Mo also laughed, "No surprise, I knew you would be suitable when I saw the script."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Lu Yan directly ignored the fact that Su Mo had "read the script".

"I know Chen Li's style. I also worked with him in the early years. When he chooses actors, acting skills are not his main consideration, but the fit between the actors and the roles. So every time he auditions for the leading role, he will not let the actors Instead of acting for a while, he directly matched it with the costumes. He would only continue to think about it if he felt it at first glance. I have read the script, and Chen Li's requirements for the protagonist this time are firstly young, secondly, temperament, and thirdly, acting skills. In the current entertainment industry, those who have good acting skills and good temperament are mostly not suitable for their age. But if the age and temperament are all in line, you are the best. I believe that as long as Chen Li is not blind or deaf, he will be fine. I will definitely choose you." Su Mo said calmly.

Lu Yan smiled, "You really should tell Brother Feng about this, you haven't seen how nervous he is. It's as if he is the one who is going to audition instead of me."

"If he cares, he will be in chaos," Su Mo said.

"Then don't you care?" Lu Yan asked meaningfully.

With firm eyes, Su Mo said in a low voice, "Because I have more confidence in you."

Lu Yan pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes, and quietly went to shake Su Mo's hand under the table.

There was no one around, and Su Mo gently held his hand back.

The two were calm on the surface, but secretly their fingers were intertwined. This kind of intimacy in public was not so exciting and sweet.

Soon, other guests also arrived one after another.

The invited guests are all celebrities in this city, and they almost all know each other, but their friendship is far or near.

Although Su Mo is young, but his achievements are not small, and his status is detached, so all the people who came after saw Su Mo took the initiative to come over to say hello, and did not dare to wait for Su Mo to come forward with Joe.Su Mo also accepted it as a matter of course, his almost innate high-pressure aura became stronger the stronger he was.

Everyone who came to say hello would turn their questioning eyes to the young man sitting with Su Mo. Just like that time on the golf course, Su Mo just introduced him lightly, "This is Lu Yan." Say more.

Most of the people said "Oh", as if they had suddenly realized it, and then shook hands with Lu Yan enthusiastically, saying "It's a pleasure to meet you", but they don't know who he is at all.

There were a lot of people here, especially the beauties brought by some of the guests who usually pay attention to fashion and entertainment, so they naturally recognized Lu Yan, a big star.But they only dare to bite their ears to the person who brought them here. Basically, on such occasions, there is no room for them to speak.

Those guests who knew Lu Yan's identity didn't say much, and most of them were wondering. Could it be that some family member came to the showbiz because of his interest?Especially when they saw that the bidding card in Lu Yan's hand was actually gold, which was one level higher than Su Mo's, they became more convinced of this idea.

Almost no one dared to go forward to verify this idea. After all, in the eyes of most aristocratic families, no matter how famous a celebrity is, it is not very likely to be on the stage. They are afraid that asking the wrong question will make a taboo.Even if there were one or two curious people who wanted to inquire around the bush, Su Mo wiped it away with a faint smile.

When there was no one around, Su Mo smiled softly, "They are probably guessing your identity now, maybe they think you are a child of some big family. Maybe there are people who want to get close to you."

Lu Yan smiled indifferently, "If I want to disappoint them, I'm just an ordinary person."

Su Mo glanced lightly at the bidding card in his hand, and said with a smile, "He holds this thing in his hand, and he still says he is an ordinary person. If I don't know you, I won't believe it either."

Lu Yan said in a low voice, "Tell me, if I am like this, does it count as a fake tiger's prestige?"

Su Mo looked up at the two people who were walking, and lowered his voice, "If you are a fox, the tiger is here."
