Chapter 44: The Beauty Necklace
"Five hundred!"
"Six hundred!"
"A thousand!"
In just a few minutes, this three-layer pearl necklace inlaid with rubies has been quickly priced to 1,200 oceans.
This has surpassed Ji Yunqing's gold watch.
Everyone has to please Cai Xuefei, and more importantly, this is what Madame Rose has wore.
Ji Yunqing was proud in her heart.
Previously, he had convened a so-called Shanghai Business Disaster Relief Charity Committee, which raised a total of 500,000 yuan in donations from Dechuan.
People from all walks of life in Shanghai also enthusiastically donated, another 300,000 yuan.
Plus this time, it's all his masterpiece.
"Three thousand! I'm out of three thousand! ”
It was He Qinhan who shouted out this price.
That's a very high price.
Suddenly, the sound of competition was greatly reduced.
He Qinhan winked at Ji Yunqing, and Ji Yunqing smiled slightly: "It is incumbent on you to donate money to the victims, and this is Madame Rose's beloved thing, where is three thousand enough?" I'll give 10,000! ”
A low exclamation rang out.
10,000 is far more than the value of this pearl necklace itself.
Ji Yunqing is old, but her heart is not old, and she has long coveted the beauty of Madame Rose, but she has never been able to start.
There is such a good opportunity to curry favor in front of him, how could Ji Yunqing not seize it?
Perhaps, Madame Rose will be happy to give him a chance to kiss Fangze.
Ji Yunqing offered such a high price, coupled with his own power, he never dared to compete with him again.
"10,000 oceans, Mr. Ji is out of 10,000 oceans, is there anyone else bidding?" The moderator kept asking questions.
Who else will come out on top? Even if you grit your teeth and offer another price, doesn't it mean that you will offend Ji Yunqing?
"Ten thousand once...... 10,000 ......"
Just as the host was about to announce Ji Yunqing's successful bid, a voice sounded:
"Twenty thousand!"
Everyone's eyes were on there.
It was a rather handsome, well-dressed young man.
Meng Shaoyuan!
Ji Yunqing's face suddenly became gloomy.
Cai Xuefei's eyes also fell with interest on the young man she had just met in the elevator.
And the eyes of countless celebrities also flashed with blazing light.
Young, handsome, and the key is gold.
Who doesn't like such a son?
Meng Shaoyuan doesn't care what others think in their hearts?
In another year, Sichuan will do its best to go out of Sichuan to resist the war, and the Sichuan army athletes will be bloody in Shanghai and fight to the death in Songhu.
Besides, it's not bad to be able to embarrass Ji Yunqing.
Anyway, he had already offended Ji Yunqing, and when he returned to Nanjing, once he controlled the "Shengyi Hall", a head-on conflict was inevitable.
What are you afraid of now?
"20,000 oceans, this gentleman pays 20,000 oceans, will anyone bid again?"
The host's voice suddenly raised.
Ji Yunqing has always been greedy for money, and this ten thousand oceans has already gritted his teeth to please the beauty, and at this time, if he asks him to increase the price more than double, he will not be willing to do so no matter what.
"20,000 oceans, deal! Madame Rose's necklace belongs to this gentleman! ”
In the applause and countless envious eyes, the pearl necklace was handed over to Meng Shaoyuan's hands.
An even more unexpected thing happened, Meng Shaoyuan came to Cai Xuefei with a necklace: "Madam, please accept this gift." ”
Cai Xuefei was not surprised at all: "What does Meng Gongzi mean by this?" ”
Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "The sword is given to the hero, and the necklace is matched with the beauty." The beauty is more suitable for this necklace than the lady. ”
Good boy, smart.
Many people whose brains are spinning fast have already thought of Meng Shaoyuan's intentions.
With 20,000 oceans, it is very cost-effective to get the heart of Madame Rose.
Cai Xuefei smiled slightly: "Then thank you." Xue Fei is inconvenient, please ask Meng Gongzi to help Xue Fei put it on. ”
There was an uproar.
I knew that there was such a good treatment, even if I was bankrupt, I would have to buy this necklace!
In the envious and jealous eyes of countless people, Meng Shaoyuan put this pearl necklace back on Cai Xuefei's neck.
A burst of good aromas came to my nose, and I didn't know what brand of perfume Madame Rose was using.
A total of 38,000 yuan was raised in this charity auction.
Cai Xuefei whispered a few words to Steward Qiu, and Steward Qiu immediately stood up and said loudly:
"My wife said that the people of Shanghai raised 300,000 yuan, and those here today are all celebrities and wealthy businessmen, but they only got 38,000 yuan, of which Meng Gongzi alone donated 20,000 yuan, and we people should be ashamed. Therefore, my wife decided to privately fund a whole number, a total of 200,000 yuan, and transport it to the disaster area! ”
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly the applause and cheers were endless.
Meng Shaoyuan was also applauding, and he was applauding very seriously.
Madame Rose is a celebrity, but she is also a chivalrous and courageous woman.
Even if you have money, it is not easy to take out more than 100,000 oceans at once.
"Good, good!"
He Qinhan was still worried about Ji Yunqing's displeasure, so he took this opportunity and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Rose, I can't wait for a man." The charity auction was a great joy and a successful conclusion. I declare the official start of the Ball of Nations! ”
Meng Shaoyuan has been paying attention to Ayako Ito.
At the time of the donation auction, Ayako Ito shrank behind the crowd, indifferent, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth from time to time.
And when she heard that the Ball of Nations had begun, her eyes immediately lit up.
This woman's obsession with the ball can be seen.
Since it is the International Ball, to select the "Shanghai Dance King", it is naturally necessary to compare dance skills.
The first to come up was Henry, who came out of the acrobatic troupe and was packaged as the "American Dance King".
When this man was in the United States, he was a playboy himself, haunting all kinds of dance parties all year round, and later owed a lot of debts, so he followed the acrobatic troupe to China to pan for gold.
Dancing was his forte, and he invited a lady he had known before, to dance a "Viennese waltz" to the accompaniment of the band.
It's a fast waltz with a strong sense of rhythm and gorgeous and elegant dancing.
Coupled with the skillful cooperation between Henry and this noblewoman, it quickly achieved very good results.
After a song, there was a round of applause.
The lady was out of breath, but her face was full of peach blossoms, and she looked at Henry, and the spring was rippling.
Henry was triumphant, and this time the king of the dance was none other than himself.
Next, it is the British dance king, the Italian dance king, or the foxtrot, or the tango, in short, all of his eighteen martial arts.
Ayako Ito in the crowd, accompanied by the rhythm of the music, her footsteps have been quietly lighting the ground.
If at this time, someone can invite them to do a dance, it will be perfect.
Ayako Ito danced very well, but unfortunately with Kong Jianshan, a bad old man, coupled with her special identity and tasks, she was never able to dance heartily.
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her:
"Miss, could you please dance with us?"
