rich and beautiful [rebirth]

Chapter 37 Open and honest

This charity good night should be called a charity auction dinner to be precise. 50% of the auction proceeds will be used for the Hope Project.

It is almost impossible to get the products you like, because this is not a professional auction, so there are almost no things worthy of collection to bid here, but this is a place that can make people famous .

If you spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, you will be exaggerated by the media, and all kinds of praise and praise will be overwhelming. Few people who come to this kind of charity auction dinner are low-key. Sometimes Zhao Youcai comes to I think, no matter what their intentions are, as long as these people spend real money on the Hope Project, it will be a good thing.

Maybe their purpose is not pure, maybe they have such or even dirty ideas, but it is true that they have helped many people with their money. He will not be like some people who can’t spend money to help others , Seeing other people taking money will make you sour, and you will doubt the intentions and ideas of others taking money.

In fact, he doesn't really want to take money. Mrs. Dong has to spend every penny wisely now, not to mention asking him to spend hundreds of thousands, even tens of thousands of yuan. It is true that Dong's current situation does not allow him to do so.

When he had no money, he felt that he should make money, but when he had money, he realized that he should make more money. He didn't know what would happen to his thinking when he had more money.

This kind of auction was going on like running water, without any rules at all. Although the organizer had prepared an auction album for the guests, Zhao Youcai didn't want to see it at all.He didn't think that he would see what he wanted here, until the appearance of the jade ring finger caught his attention, or made him stunned.

It was a wrench finger of white mutton fat jade, the whole body of the wrench was crystal clear, Zhao Youcai didn't understand jade, let alone appreciate treasures, but he knew that it was an excellent piece of white mutton fat jade, and he took the middle part of the whole piece of jade and found it Made by top domestic masters.

This piece of jade comes from Hetian, Xinjiang, and was found by local farmers by accident. Mr. Dong bought it at a huge price. After buying it, he made this jade wrench for his eldest son Dong Jiaqi, and then made it for Dong Jiawei with scraps. It was a small pendant, but after Dong Jiaqi passed away, the jade ring finger also disappeared.

Dong Yi had looked for it before, but he never found it. He never thought that this jade ring finger would appear at this charity auction dinner.

Young Master Si has been paying attention to Zhao Youcai. When the jade ring finger appeared, Zhao Youcai was stunned and showed that he didn't miss it. He looked at the auction album and the real thing on the spot. The quality of the jade is really good, and the workmanship is also very fine. It can be regarded as top-grade, at least it is definitely a rare treasure in such an auction dinner.

But that's all. He has photographed many top-quality treasures, so he really didn't pay much attention to this, but he had Uncle Cai's eyes straightened, and Young Master Si raised his hand without the slightest hesitation. number plate.

Because it was an auction held in the name of charity, each time the placard was raised, it was only 25. It is not good to set the price too high, but obviously this jade wrench finger has attracted the attention of many people. It was already called [-], and now the price of this jade wrench is already the highest among the treasures that have been auctioned today.

As soon as Young Master Si's sign was raised, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Zhao Youcai, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you like it?"

Zhao Youcai was taken aback when he heard Young Master Si's words. It turned out that Young Master Si raised the placard for him. Young Master Si had said long ago that there was nothing he was interested in in today's charity auction dinner, so he brought himself here today. see the scene.

But now Young Master Si made a move because of him. Many people saw that Young Master Si had made a move, and raised their cards one after another. There were indeed some buyers who were interested in this jade wrench, and some buyers were arranged by the organizer to raise the price. of.

Before Zhao Youcai came here, he had already heard from Young Master Si that it was tricky, so he frowned when he saw such a warm atmosphere at the scene, because these people obviously thought that they could make a lot of money today.

Following Master Si's placard raising, the price of this jade wrench finger has soared all the way to 100 million. The organizer has stipulated that once the price of the baby reaches 100 million, every time the placard is raised, it will no longer be [-], but [-]. up.

After the host called out the price of 100 million, the number of people holding placards gradually decreased. Only Young Master Si still held the placard calmly, adding 500 each time, and soon the price of the jade wrench soared to [-] million. This surprised everyone.

One must know that even in a formal auction, it would be very difficult for a small jade wrench to reach this price. Moreover, this jade wrench is obviously not an antique, but a modern work. Many people don't understand why Young Master Si competes so much?

Xue Zhu was also very surprised by Young Master Si's actions, but she could understand that people like them don't care about the value of a thing itself, as long as it is what she likes, no matter how expensive it is, she can understand it. to buy.

If Zhao Youcai heard this, he would definitely say, "We don't understand the world of the rich!"

But the current situation is that although Zhao Youcai really wanted the jade ring finger, he had already given up when the price reached 500 million. Just kidding, how could he repay the favor of Master Si? There is no such thing.

Although he is bound to get this jade wrench, it is another matter to make Master Si spend 500 million less. He has already thought of many ways to get this jade wrench. After all, it is not a valuable antique, so he estimates With a little trickery, most people would give up, but now Young Master Si actually wants to spend 500 million to buy it for him. How big is this head?

"I said, forget it, this jade ring finger is not worth 500 million at all."

"Do you like it?"

"Of course I like it," Zhao Youcai regretted after saying that, if he said he didn't like Young Master Si, he would probably give up, right?

"It's fine if you like it, as long as it's what you like, I'll find a way to get it for you."

"But it's too expensive, 500 million can do a lot of things!"

The corner of Si's mouth twitched when he heard this, "I'll give you another 500 million after buying the finger ring."

Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You have so much money that you have no place to spend it?"

"Well, it's not bad money!"

"Si Youmao," Zhao Youcai regretted after calling his name. Originally, Young Master Si was the focus, but now that the two of them were sitting together, Young Master Si kept raising signs. The two of them had become the focus of attention. This time he raised his voice a little bit, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, Zhao Youcai chose the ostrich's approach, and he immediately stopped chewing and shrank.

Young Master Si didn't think much of it, instead he asked Zhao Youcai, "Really don't want to spend 500 million to buy it?" Zhao Youcai nodded, this fact is a bit ridiculous.

Young Master Si approached Zhao Youcai and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhao Youcai was puzzled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he smiled. He and Young Master Si were indeed a couple, both equally bad!

When the price of the jade finger was called 800 million, Young Master Si suddenly stopped raising the price, and the person who just raised the price at the end was also dumbfounded, and Zhao Youcai almost burst out laughing.

I saw that the man had forgotten to put down the cards he was holding, and the expression on his face was also very funny, a look that went from triumphant to crying without tears, but the excessive was not complete, so the whole face had to be Laugh or not, cry or not.

Zhao Youcai had already figured out just now that this person must have been arranged by the organizer. This time it was all right, and the young master Si didn't want to do any more. The jade wrench finally fell into his hands. Of course, he couldn't buy it. I can't afford it, and the organizer won't let me buy it. The most important thing is that the cooked duck that Young Master Si flew away.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, you have won the auction."

Young Master Si stood up first, and Zhao Youcai also stood up and clapped his hands. Everyone at the scene stood up one after another. Of course, some people also wanted to see who is this person who spent 800 million yuan to buy a jade finger ring. .

Unfortunately, almost no one knows him.

It wasn't until the end of the dinner that Young Master Si asked Ah Hua to contact the organizer, while he and Uncle Youcai were waiting upstairs. After a while, Ah Hua came in with the person in charge of the organizer, and Zhao Youcai saw it at a glance The person in charge was holding a brocade box in his hand. He remembered that the brocade box was the box that had just contained the jade wrench finger.

The person in charge of the organizer respectfully brought up the brocade box, Young Master Si took it over, opened the box and took a look, then handed it to Zhao Youcai, "Uncle Youcai, see if it's what you want. "

Zhao Youcai took the brocade box and took out the jade wrench to look at it carefully, while the young master Si turned to the person in charge and said, "Although I don't understand these things, Mr. Zhao is an expert, he can tell how much this thing is worth at a glance. Money, needless to say why the price is so high, you understand the reason, right?"

"Young Master Si, you really are a sensible person. You also know that we spend a lot of money on organizing this kind of dinner, so we have to make some money."

Young Master Si nodded, "I understand, that's why I asked Ah Hua to find you. Are you satisfied with the price?"

“Satisfied, very satisfied!”

Zhao Youcai also finished watching the jade finger, and he also looked at the person in charge. He was not happy to see the flattering look on his face. Young Master Si looked at him and asked, "Uncle Youcai, is this it?"

Zhao Youcai nodded, "That's right!"

"That's good."

Afterwards, Zhao Youcai learned that the young master of the Jade Pull Finger Division only spent 50 yuan, and the money was given to the person in charge alone. After thinking about it, Zhao Youcai understood what was going on.

Part of the confiscated money will be given to the Hope Project, but the money that goes into personal pockets has nothing to do with the Hope Project.

Zhao Youcai also asked Ah Hua to inquire about how the jade ring finger came to the charity dinner, but the person in charge said that he didn't remember it very clearly, and only vaguely remembered that it was donated by a woman, because many things in their place were It was donated, so he couldn't remember the specific situation.

Zhao Youcai felt puzzled. Even if the jade ring finger is not an antique, it is still made of high-quality jade. If you donate it, you will donate it. Does this person have too much money?

But they couldn't provide any valuable information, so he had no choice but to give up, not to mention that he had already got the wrench, which was the most important thing.

Zhao Youcai received such a big gift from Young Master Si, so naturally he couldn't accept it in vain, so he decided to treat Young Master Si to a meal. Young Master Si was delighted when he heard it, but he happened to meet Wei Dongcheng in the restaurant who came to eat.

But he didn't come over to make trouble today, because he was on a blind date.

Wei Dongcheng's blind date is Qiuyuan. Young Master Si and Zhao Youcai both know the background of Qiu's family, and they are involved in many businesses with Wei's family. No need to be told, the two of them can think of it. This is probably another benefit. marriage.

Now that everyone sat together, Qiuyuan also met Young Master Si. Although she had never met Zhao Youcai herself, she was no stranger to him. Seeing the two of them out for dinner, Qiuyuan's first words were, "You guys When did you two get together?"

One sentence stunned the three of them, someone dropped the spoon, someone coughed and choked, someone looked at her strangely, and the person concerned seemed to be fine.

"According to my observation, the young master must be attacking, and if you have Uncle Cai, you will suffer. Can I call you Uncle Cai?"

Zhao Youcai nodded, "Yes," then he shook his head again, "Miss Qiu, we..."

"Don't call me Miss Qiu, can you?" Qiuyuan interrupted him, "You can call me Qiuyuan, Xiaoyuan, Yuanyuan."

Zhao Youcai felt that it was inappropriate to call him that when he met someone for the first time, so he simply did not add the title, "Is this the first time we met?"

Qiuyuan looked at Zhao Youcai with a smile, "I met Mr. Si at banquets a few times before, but we never spoke to each other. My father said that he is the ideal son-in-law, but I don't like him at all. He's too tall. Leng is too capable of pretending to be too arrogant, with a look like I owe him millions, and being with him is not exhausting." After speaking, Qiuyuan still did not forget to glance at Young Master Si, which means that I am telling the truth, not angry .

Then she continued: "Actually, it's not the first time I've seen you, Uncle Cai. I've been paying attention to you since you appeared in the newspaper. At that time, you were a migrant worker, but I really think you are handsome, handsome. I was in a daze, and since then I have been paying attention to the matter between you and Young Master Si, and I'm sure that you two must already be together."

The corners of Zhao Youcai's mouth twitched when he heard this, but Young Master Si raised his eyebrows. He was obviously in a good mood, but he and Zhao Youcai had a consensus. Don't hate her.

Wei Dongcheng also gave Qiuyuan a thumbs up, "Nice job!" Qiuyuan stretched out a hand and gave Wei Dongcheng a high-five.

This was originally a very romantic western restaurant, but it was obvious that these four people were doing things that were not romantic. Zhao Youcai looked at the eyes from time to time around him, turned his head and said, "Why don't we change places."

"Uncle Cai, let's have some sex?" Qiuyuan once again subverted her image in the hearts of several big men.

However, a few of them really went to pick up skewers, especially Wei Dongcheng, his jaw almost dropped when he saw Young Master Si eating so much food regardless of his image.

"Si Xiaomao, when are you going to make public the matter between you and Uncle Youcai?"

Young Master Si rolled his eyes, "Can this name be changed?"

"Isn't Si Xiaomao very nice? Right, there is Uncle Cai."

Zhao Youcai nodded, "It's very nice." This girl's personality is really pleasing, and she can drink very well. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more lively. Not to mention, everyone chatted very happily, even Wei Dongcheng That annoying guy, he doesn't look so annoying now.

"Uncle Cai, we are a family, how can you help outsiders?" Young Master Si was quite aggrieved.

"That's right, why are you so stingy?"

"Humph."

"Uncle Cai, if you see that he is not there, you still humiliate me."

"Xiaoyuan, what did you mean when you asked Xiaomao when the relationship will be made public?"

Qiuyuan looked at Wei Dongcheng and said, "Ruan Jingmei knows?"

Wei Dongcheng thought for a while and said, "That old girl from the Ruan family?"

"Yes, Miss Jingmei said a few days ago that her family arranged a blind date for her, and it was Si Xiaomao."

"Isn't it?" Wei Dongcheng opened his mouth, "Ruan Jingmei is about ten years old."

"Under ten years old, eight years old."

"That's not too young. If a man is eight years older than a woman, it's reasonable, and a woman is eight years older than a man. What's more, how can you have a blind date with an old woman? Don't you hear it wrong?"

"It's not wrong. She's talking about the Si family, one of the most wealthy families in Xichuan City. Do you think there are other Si families besides Si Xiaomao's family?"

Wei Dongcheng shook his head. Indeed, if she said that, she must be Xiaomao. Si Youmao looked at the two of them, "Do you think anyone in this world can influence my marriage?"

Qiuyuan blurted out: "Yes, your great-grandfather almost betrothed you to Xue Zhu back then."

Young Master Si glared at her, "Qiu Xiaoyuan, don't pick up any pot without opening it."

Wei Dongcheng also said: "That's right, Xiaomao married Xu, not Xu."

Qiuyuan nodded receptively, "Anyway, I think Sister Jingmei really values ​​this blind date, so be careful."

Zhao Youcai asked puzzledly, "Why should you be careful?"

Qiuyuan looked at him and said, "How should I put it, although Sister Jingmei looks very innocent and naive, but I think she is very scheming, and she is definitely as good as Xue Zhu."

"You call her Miss Jingmei. You two should have a good relationship, right? How about friends?"

"Uncle Cai, the two of us are more or less related, but they are far away, not even cousins, do you understand?"

"Oh I got it!"

"Uncle Cai, don't worry, my great-grandfather couldn't do anything to me back then, let alone my little aunt, I won't go on a blind date."

"Well," Zhao Youcai was really not worried about this matter.

After having a meal with Qiuyuan and Wei Dongcheng, Zhao Youcai forgot about Ruan Jingmei, and when Qiuyuan was free, he would call him and chat for a while. It's decent.

The project invested by Zhao Youcai has already broken ground, and a lot of effort has been put into the hype in the early stage, so the building has just started construction, and a third of it has already been pre-sold. What makes Zhao Youcai feel strange is that Xue Zhu has always been honest Any action, it's not in her character.

However, he had already arranged for people to stay at the project site, and he had specifically asked them to pay attention to Xue Zhu, so he was not very worried.

In a blink of an eye, July is here, Young Master Si is about to graduate, and Zhao Muran is graduating at the same time, and he is about to start middle school.

Zhao Muran's grades were very good. He was admitted to the junior high school with the second grade in the school year. Zhao Youcai felt a little proud of him. At the same time, he decided to tell his children about himself and Mr. Si at this time.

I didn’t say it before, because I was afraid that it would affect the child’s exam. After all, he is still a child. Although he can understand this kind of thing, it is difficult for him to accept it immediately. So in order not to affect his study, Zhao Youcai has not say it.

Now that the test is over, it's time for Zhao Youcai to talk. That night, he called Zhao Muran who had just taken a shower to his side, "Dad, are you okay?"

"Well, Dad has something to talk to you about."

"Okay, Dad, tell me."

"What do you think of Uncle Si?"

"It's very good, he treats me very well and finds someone to take care of me, and he is also very good to my father."

Zhao Youcai nodded, as long as he has a good impression, he continued: "There were some rumors outside that the relationship between Dad and him was not normal, do you remember?"

"Remember, but Dad, didn't you say you were friends with Uncle Si?"

"Well, Dad and he were indeed friends back then."

Zhao Muran is a very smart kid, and he understood what Zhao Youcai said when he heard it, "Father, are you and Uncle Si still friends now?"

"If we become the kind of relationship rumored outside, can you accept it?"

Zhao Muran looked at Zhao Youcai, pursed his lips and stopped gnawing. Zhao Youcai did not intend to stop the conversation, he continued: "Dad has suffered a lot, you should know that my life is not easy, especially after taking you by my side. , but I still did it, because I feel that as long as our father and son are together, as long as we are of one mind, there will be no problem that cannot be solved."

Sure enough, Zhao Youcai noticed a change in Zhao Muran's eyes. After all, he was only a teenager, and he still couldn't learn how to hide his emotions.

Zhao Youcai continued: "Dad has never mentioned anything about your mother to you, and you are not too young, so I think it's time to tell you." In the following time, Zhao Youcai told you everything about that woman Zhao Muran, but he didn't say anything about Zhao Muran not being his own son.

After Zhao Muran heard it, his face was already crying. It turned out that it was because of this reason that his father refused to talk about his mother. It turned out that his mother didn't want him, and he was with... These facts are obviously too heavy for this 14-year-old child. up.

"Mu Ran, Dad told you this, not to make you hate your mother, I just want you to understand that it is very difficult for Dad to accept another woman."

Zhao Muran wiped the tears off his face and asked, "Father, do you like Uncle Si?"

Zhao Youcai's old face turned red again when asked by the child, but he did not evade, "Your Uncle Si is handsome, and his identity and background are all there. Of course, the most important thing is that he is very good to Dad, so Dad will It's normal to like him, isn't it?"

"Then shall I call him Dad in the future?"

"Ah?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the child would accept it so quickly, and he would not be suitable for it.

"You two date, should I call him father or uncle?"

"This... No, don't you object?"

Zhao Muran shook his head and said, "Mom is sorry for Dad. It will be difficult for Dad to trust other aunts in the future, but Dad can't live alone all his life. In the future, there will be someone who can take care of you by Dad's side, and I will be very relieved."

Zhao Youcai pulled Zhao Muran into his arms, "It really is my son, really sensible!"

"Well, Dad, don't worry about dating Uncle Si, I won't object, I will support you!"

"Thank you, son!"
