Travels
Chapter 59 Dinner Party
As soon as Xia Wanmu sat down at the table, the soft background music stopped, and the spotlights on the high platform not far ahead were turned on, and the dinner officially began.
Perhaps there is no good starting point, the protagonists on the table who were at war with each other just now drink slowly with their wine glasses as if nothing happened, and chat with their companions in whispers from time to time.She stared at the step-by-step progress on the stage with her eyes empty, and she couldn't concentrate. The sight of Yue Chuanlin on the opposite side was as cold as a poisonous snake from time to time, which made her tighten her shoulders unconsciously.
"Come closer to me."
A hand stretched out to wrap around her waist, and she was startled by the sudden and delicate touch, and it was hard for her to restrain herself from jumping up on the spot.The faint smell of fruit wine mixed with the soft floral fragrance wafted over, Sheng Tianyin got very close, and whispered softly in her ear.
"Miss Xia still has some basic acting skills, right? Don't let me down."
The curly hair tail scratched her neck a little itchy, she shrunk her neck, met Yue Chuanlin's surprised eyes inadvertently, and moved to the right with a hard heart, almost her entire upper body was stuck to someone.
She thought it was over like this, but the hand on her waist didn't intend to let go, and kept vainly surrounding her.Yue Chuanlin couldn't see too much from that angle, obviously she just needed to put on a show, she grabbed that wrist and squeezed it hard, but the people around her pretended to be deaf and dumb, enduring the pain and pinched back on her waist .
Xia Wanmu gritted her teeth secretly.
"Even if you are a woman, this is still sexual harassment." She smiled stiffly, pretending to gently push the red hair from the woman's ear, and leaned over to warn fiercely.
"I'm teaching Miss Xia a truth that I always don't understand." Sheng Tianyin looked at her sideways, with a flawless smirk on his face, "Respecting superiors is always necessary."
The hand was finally taken away, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled a little distance away, and reluctantly acted as the object of a certain capitalist's unspoken rules in the close physical contact.
The party progressed smoothly. After the organizer gave a speech and announced the amount of charitable donations from each company, it soon entered the third auction session.The auction items come from well-known and enthusiastic celebrities in the entertainment industry, and the proceeds will be donated to poor families in mountainous areas in the joint names of the celebrities and the bidders. This is the central link of the annual charity gala.
"The next lot is from a certain heavyweight in the music industry. It is a limited-edition necklace from a famous jewelry brand that she endorses." The red cloth on the top was lifted.
A close-up shot of the necklace was played on the big screen behind him at the right time. On the black velvet interlining, the thin silver chain did not lose its luster under the focused beam of light. Delicate cut diamonds shine brightly.
"Does this design look familiar? The spokesperson happened to be sitting below today. Empress Yu, would you like to say hello to everyone?"
Hearing this, Yu Qingge stood up, leaned over and bowed to the stage, his thin figure was elegant and unparalleled.There was no expression on her face, her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was worried, her long and narrow eyes glanced in a certain direction in front of the stage, and then fell down again quickly.
"Tian Hou is still the same today, her temperament is very cold, please sit down." The host waved her hand, turned around and walked to the auction table, picked up the small hammer on the table, "Then the auction starts now, the starting price 20, each price increase should not be less than [-]..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone below raised a sign. Xia Wanmu glanced at it, and the voice of the waiter in charge of bidding came from the back of the venue, out of her sight.
"It seems that there are many fans of the queen here. Let me say one more thing. This is a necklace that Yu Qingge wore close to her body once..." The host smiled and shouted angrily, "22, there will be more price increases Is it?"
Another sign was raised one after another, and the price quickly soared to 50, but there were still many bidders. Xia Wanmu stared at his own bidding sign on the table for a while, and finally turned his eyes away.
Yue Chuanlin, who was sitting across from him, had been holding his breath. Maybe he was waiting for others to compete for a similar price before winning it in one fell swoop. She thought, with this person's domineering character, she would never be willing to let her own A necklace worn by a lover falls into someone else's hands.
Sure enough, when the outcries gradually subsided, the female companion beside Yue Chuanlin whispered something to him, smiled and raised the sign in her hand.
"Miss Zhou from Century Jewelry offered 100 million yuan, is there anyone willing to raise the price?"
Under the stage, Miss Zhou, who was focused by the people around her, smiled slightly, and explained to everyone: "I have always been a fan of Yu Tianhou, and today I have such a rare opportunity to take pictures of her personal items. I am very excited and let everyone I laughed."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sign was raised up, Sheng Tianyin nodded to the waiter, and the fluffy numbers flew out from the two red lips.
"Call me, please, 150 million."
The people on the table looked sideways at her, and Xia Wanmu turned her head to look at the confident and contemptuous smile on the red-haired woman's mouth, thinking that it was finally time to start the battle that had been suspended before.
Ms. Zhou's face was a little ugly, knowing that this person was not targeting her, she glanced sideways at her male companion, and hesitated, wondering if she should continue to add the price.
"I don't know why Boss Sheng is interested in this necklace?" Yue Chuanlin's expression didn't fluctuate too much, his eagle-like eyes were fixed on the woman who was smiling flamboyantly across the way, and his hand on his knee Clenched into a fist.
"Why are you interested? It's not because of me." Sheng Tianyin folded her arms and leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed her phoenix eyes, raised her chin and nodded to the left, "Xiao Xia used to have a good relationship with the queen, I think She also didn't want a necklace to fall into the hands of stinky fish and shrimp, so she decided to buy it for her, after all, she is an effective employee of our company."
"Don't you think so, Xiaoxia?"
Over there, Miss Zhou's eyes could kill, Xia Wanmu watched helplessly as the culprit was brought to him, his throat moved slightly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.Another person touched her legs neatly placed under the table, and she felt goosebumps all over her body from this small gesture. She turned her head to look at Sheng Tianyin, but met that person's threatening eyes.
With so many people watching, it was impossible for her to embarrass the children of Crown Prince Sheng, so she could only honestly be a gun in the hands of the capitalist, and draw a few faintly painful wounds on Yue Chuanlin's body.
"Of course." She lowered her head, glared fiercely at the people around her from a very concealed angle, then raised her face and looked at her boss affectionately in front of everyone, "I You have the same idea as your boss."
Sheng Tianyin was not angry when he received her angry eyes, but felt that the little fox was so cute that he was forced to swallow his anger, so he laughed more and more freely.Yue Chuanlin paid attention to the interaction between the two, and ignored his female companion's eyes asking for help, and raised the sign on the table.
"200."
The deep voice hid uncontrollable anger.
"Ah, we two women are bidding here, and Boss Yue insisted on getting in the way. Sure enough, he complied with that sentence. It's hard to change the nature of a country, and it's still not a gentleman's demeanor after eight years." Sheng Tianyin leaned on The back of the chair smiled leisurely, as if he was not worried about the failure of the auction at all.
"If Ms. Sheng really wants this necklace, just increase the price. Your company's corporate culture is very humane, but I don't know if the cost here can be afforded?" Yue Chuanlin shook his wrist, and the bidding card fell on the There was a slap on the table, he turned his neck, his eyes were cold and fierce, like a predator in the forest at night who was eager to eat, "If I remember correctly, Ms. Sheng spent a lot of money to repurchase the share capital a while ago, right?" ? My side has made a lot of profits because of this, and it is more than enough to buy dozens of necklaces."
"But Miss Qian Sheng probably won't care about this little thing. After all, there is the entire Sheng family behind her. Even if you are not capable enough, there will be someone to wipe your ass for you. I don't know what happened recently, but someone is still spreading rumors about Sheng Huang's capital chain." False news about something going wrong is really attracting attention, and Ms. Sheng is probably also troubled, right?"
The volume of these words was not low, and the venue waiting for the bidding was a little quiet. When the people at the nearby tables heard the movement, they all stretched their necks and looked this way.The smile on the corner of Sheng Tianyin's mouth gradually disappeared, and his cold face was expressionless, quietly looking at the man opposite who couldn't hide his complacency.
In the dignified atmosphere, another sign was raised, and Guan Shiyu, who had been silent all this time, stretched out his hand to beckon to the male waiter with a gentle smile.
"Please ask me for a lower price, 500 million."
A sonorous male voice resounded in the silence, there was a commotion in the crowd, and there were whispers from time to time, this table has become the focus of attention of the audience.
"Mr. Guan from Tengfei Real Estate bid 500 million yuan! It seems that our Tianhou's popularity is not so high, is there anyone who is willing to increase the price?" The host's voice was so excited that he was out of tune. After seeing such a fierce competition, he couldn't help but become agitated.
Under the stage at this time, Guan Shiyu's gentle eyes moved away from the red-haired woman, and he looked at Yue Chuanlin sitting opposite him indifferently with a smile on his face, and said slowly:
"Tianyin and Ms. Zhou are competing to play, so it's not easy for me to make a move. But Boss Yue wants to get involved, so let me be your opponent. Since everyone is bidding for their girlfriends, don't lose too badly, otherwise how will you hold your head up in front of ladies in the future?"
As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tianyin covered her mouth and laughed.
"Ayu, it's wrong for you to provoke him like this. Boss Yue is such a realistic person, how can he care about the little reputation in front of the lady? Don't use your gentleman's tricks on him, it's useless."
Everyone looked at the person in charge of Hua Xing at the same time, secretly looking forward to how this good show would continue, but the man with a gloomy face remained silent for a long time, his sinister eyes brushed hard over the two people who were singing together, wishing they could I can goug out a piece of meat.
"Boss Guan has the heart to smile, so I naturally won't obstruct it. The post-singer's personal item is more than a necklace. Xiao Zhou wants it. I have plenty of ways to get her a few. There's no need to hurt my peace because of a chain."
On the high platform, the host was already confirming the final bids, and no one raised any placards. The little hammer paused in the air for a second before falling down regrettably.
"Congratulations to Mr. Guan for winning the auction!"
Perhaps there is no good starting point, the protagonists on the table who were at war with each other just now drink slowly with their wine glasses as if nothing happened, and chat with their companions in whispers from time to time.She stared at the step-by-step progress on the stage with her eyes empty, and she couldn't concentrate.
