Chapter 218: Fighting a smile
"Okay, our New Year's charity party will start soon, please come and take your seats in our seating area in an orderly manner."
"Let's go!" Wu Hao said to Lin Wei, who was still playing with his mobile phone.
"Wait, let's take a selfie first." Saying that, Lin Wei came to his side and grabbed Wu Hao's arm, then picked up the phone and said with a smile.
"Here, laugh one!"
"Why are you so serious, laugh, yes, that's all!"
At Lin Wei's request, Wu Hao squeezed out a smile on his face. was held by a girl to take a selfie, and it was the first time he had encountered it. At the same time, I was also a little helpless by Lin Wei's big personality, how long had the two known each other, and this girl had become familiar with the relationship between the two sides, which attracted a group of guests to look at them.
Although Lin Honghan was talking and laughing with his friends, he still couldn't help but look at the two of them. When he saw Lin Wei's intimate move, Lin Honghan immediately showed an anxious look. But then he slowly changed to a relaxed smile, and then turned around and continued to talk and laugh with his friend.
The seating area in front of the stage was already full of people, Wu Hao and Lin Wei walked over, and then found their own way and sat down.
Because Wu Hao is an official invited guest, his seat is located at the front of the second row. The first few rows are some entrepreneurs who are more important in the business community in the province, so the overall age is around forty or fifty years old.
Wu Hao, a young man in his twenties, was sitting here, and he couldn't help but be a little prominent. This also attracted the attention of many people present, and everyone was privately discussing what this young man was about.
"Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, the 2021 New Year's Charity Gathering organized by the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce has officially begun, and the first item below, all stand up and sing the national anthem."
Hearing this, everyone present stood up one after another, packed up their clothes, and then stood upright. Even the few beauties who were talking and laughing in the back just now became serious.
Other things can be loose and slack, but there is no room for the slightest playful joke in patriotic matters. If a person doesn't even love his own country, then what do you expect him to love.
After the ceremony, the leader spoke. The leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce and several presidents of the Chamber of Commerce took the stage one after another and brought a rousing speech to everyone.
Although he didn't understand much of what it meant, Wu Hao gave a warm applause.
At the end of the speech, there were several theatrical performances, including solo piano performances, singing of male and female sopranos, and so on. For many entrepreneurs in their forties and fifties present, such a performance may be wonderful, and everyone is quiet and tasteful. But for young people like Wu Hao and them, it seems a little boring.
But who let this be in public, and from time to time there are still cameras and reporters sweeping over. Even if you don't like it, you have to pretend to like it. This is also the reason why Wu Hao is very reluctant to participate in this kind of activity, because he is too pretending and too tired.
Fortunately, there were few such shows, and they ended quickly. Immediately, it entered the main charity art auction of this New Year's charity party.
And I don't know when, Lin Wei sat next to him: "What are you sending for the photo?" ”
"You'll find out later." Wu Hao said with a smile.
"Don't say it." Lin Wei looked at the lots displayed on the stage with great interest.
"The following lot is a purple jadeite teardrop pendant donated by Ms. Miao Xiaoli, president of Chunli Group, and this purple jadeite teardrop pendant uses purple jadeite ice A goods in Laokeng, northern Myanmar."
"As you know, a good piece of jadeite is very rare, and jadeite from Laokeng or purple ice is even more rare. Eight years ago, when Ms. Miao Xiaoli traveled to southern Yunnan, she opened a rough stone that she bought at a high price. Then ask the jade carving master to carve it himself, which can be said to be a good piece of jewelry.
This time, Ms. Miao Xiaoli is willing to take out this pendant for charity, let us give her warm applause to express our gratitude. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
In the applause of everyone, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green cheongsam seated in a row not far from Wu Hao stood up, and then stretched out her hand to signal to everyone.
And Wu Hao focused on the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, which was a purple jade bracelet, looking like this, it should be the same as the purple jade drop pendant on the stage was made from a rough stone. It is even possible that the material used for this pendant on the table may have come from the scrap of this bracelet.
Just as he shook his head, he found that Lin Wei, who was sitting next to him, was staring at the pendant on the stage, revealing a yearning affection.
"What, like?" Wu Hao asked casually.
Hearing his words, Lin Wei reacted, and then nodded at him and said, "It's very good-looking, I like this teardrop shape." ”
"I like it, let your dad buy it for you, you don't have to lose this amount of money anyway." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Lin Wei's foot kicked him and said, "Won't you buy it for me?" ”
Wu Hao shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, I can't make it." ”
……
"Okay, the starting price of this purple jade drop pendant is 100,000 yuan, and the starting price is 5,000 each time, and interested guests can raise their cards."
"One hundred and fifty thousand, one hundred and one hundred thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand, one hundred and thirty-five thousand......"
Although it is only a pendant, it seems to be much more popular than the previous pastel vase. There may be a lot of beautiful women present, and many guests want to take pictures and make their faces smile.
"Three hundred and sixty-five thousand, is there a higher price?"
"Three hundred and sixty thousand, this Mr. No. 43 in the sixth row bid three hundred and sixty thousand!"
……
"If you like it, buy it, it's only 300,000 yuan." Wu Hao said to Lin Wei, who had been staring at the pendant on the stage.
Lin Wei shook her head, glanced at him, and then continued to stare at the pendant on the stage.
Although he didn't say anything, those innocent watery eyes made Wu Hao shiver.
Yes, although he didn't say anything, the look in his eyes said it all.
Wu Hao smiled bitterly, and then held up the sign beside him.
"Three hundred and ninety-thousand, Mr. No. 23 from the second row is three hundred and ninety-thousand, and there is no higher."
"Three hundred and ninety-thousand?"
After watching the reactions of the guests present, the white glove immediately knocked on the small hammer between his fingers.
"Congratulations to Mr. 23 for getting this purple jadeite drop pendant. Thank you for your congratulations on this charity event, and we will be in touch with a member of staff shortly. “
Bang Bang Bang ...... Everyone present gave warm applause, and Ms. Miao Xiaoli, the president of Chunli Group, also turned around and smiled at him and nodded.
For a lot of people who are doing it, everyone is good-looking. So to spend 400,000 yuan to photograph this purple jade drop pendant, in the other party's opinion, Wu Hao is releasing goodwill to the other party.
And Wu Hao also nodded slightly in response, but he was actually complaining in his heart, eldest sister, you think too much.
