"Okay, our New Year Charity Party will begin soon. Please come to our seating area and take your seats in an orderly manner."
"Let's go!" Wu Hao said to Lin Wei, who was still playing with her mobile phone.
"Wait a minute, let's take a selfie first." Lin Wei came to him and hugged Wu Hao's arm, then picked up the phone and said with a smile.
"Come on, smile!"
"Why are you so serious? Just smile, yes, that's it!"
At Lin Wei's request, Wu Hao forced a smile on his face. It was the first time for him to be hugged by a girl and take a selfie. At the same time, he was a little helpless by Lin Wei's carefree character. The two of them knew this person.
In just a short time, this girl became familiar with her and drew the relationship between the two parties closer, causing all the guests to look at them involuntarily.
Although Lin Honghan was chatting and laughing with his friends elsewhere, he couldn't help but look towards the two of them. When he saw Lin Wei's intimate gesture, Lin Honghan immediately showed an anxious expression. But then he slowly changed to a relaxed expression.
smile, then turned around and continued talking and laughing with her friends.
The seating area in front of the stage was already full of people. Wu Hao and Lin Wei walked over, then found their seats and sat down.
Because Wu Hao is an officially invited guest, his seat is located in the front of the second row. The first few rows are filled with some of the more influential entrepreneurs in the provincial business community, so the overall age is around 40 or 50 years old.
Wu Hao, a young man in his twenties, was sitting here, which made him stand out a bit. This also attracted the attention of many people present, and everyone was discussing in private what the background of this young man was.
"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, the 2021 New Year Charity Party organized by the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce has officially begun. For the first item below, everyone stands up and sings the national anthem."
After hearing this, everyone present stood up one after another, packed up their clothes, and then stood at attention. Even the beauties who were talking and laughing behind them all became serious.
You can be relaxed about other things, but there is no room for fun and joking when it comes to patriotism. If a person doesn't even love his own country, then what do you expect him to love?
After the ceremony, leaders' speeches followed. Leaders of the Federation of Industry and Commerce and several presidents of chambers of commerce took the stage one after another and gave everyone some inspiring speeches.
Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, Wu Haodu gave him warm applause.
After the speech, there were several theatrical performances, including piano solos, tenor and tenor singing, etc. For many entrepreneurs in their 40s and 50s present, such performances may be wonderful, and what everyone is watching is quiet and interesting.
Tasty. But for young people like Wu Hao and others, it seems a bit boring.
But who said this was in a public place? From time to time, there would be cameras and reporters scanning the camera. Even if you don’t like it, you still have to pretend that you like it. This is why Wu Hao is very reluctant to participate in this kind of event.
The reason is because I am too pretentious and too tired.
Fortunately, there were not many such programs, and they ended quickly. Then we entered the most important charity art auction of this New Year Charity Party.
But at some point, Lin Wei sat next to him and asked, "What are you sending for a photo?"
"You'll know later." Wu Hao smiled.
"Forget it if you don't say it." Lin Wei looked at the auction items displayed on the stage with interest.
"The auction item below is a purple jadeite teardrop pendant donated by Ms. Miao Xiaoli, the president of Chunli Group. This purple jadeite teardrop pendant is made of ice type A purple jadeite from Laokeng, northern Myanmar."
"As we all know, a good piece of jadeite is very rare, and jadeite from Laokeng or purple ice species is even rarer. When Ms. Miao Xiaoli traveled to southern Yunnan eight years ago, she opened it from the rough stone she bought at a big price.
. Then ask the jade carving master to carve it himself. It can be said to be a fine piece of jewelry.
This time, Ms. Miao Xiaoli is willing to use this pendant for charity, so let us give her a warm applause to express our gratitude."
Bang bang bang bang...
Amidst the applause of the crowd, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark green cheongsam who was sitting in a row not far from Wu Hao stood up and extended her hand to everyone.
Wu Hao, on the other hand, focused on the bracelet she wore on her wrist. It was a purple jade bracelet. From the looks of it, it should be cut from the same rough stone as the purple jade drop pendant on the stage. Even
It is possible that the material of the pendant on the table may come from the scraps of this bracelet.
Just as he shook his head, he found Lin Wei sitting next to him staring at the pendant on the stage with a look of longing and affection.
"What, do you like it?" Wu Hao asked casually.
After hearing what he said, Lin Wei reacted, then nodded at him and said, "It's very pretty. I like the teardrop shape."
"If you like it, ask your dad to buy it for you. You don't need the money anyway." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hearing his words, Lin Wei kicked his foot and said, "Won't you buy it for me?"
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "It's too expensive, it's not worth it."
…
"Okay, the starting price for this purple jade water drop pendant is 100,000 yuan, and the starting price for each auction is 5,000 yuan. Interested guests can raise their placards."
"One hundred and five thousand, one hundred and ten thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand, one hundred and thirty-five thousand..."
Although it is just a pendant, it seems to be much more popular than the previous Wanqing pastel vase. Maybe it is because there are many beauties present, and many guests want to take pictures to make the beauties around them smile.
"Three hundred and sixty-five thousand, is there a higher price?"
"Three hundred and sixty thousand, Mr. No. 43 in the sixth row bids three hundred and sixty thousand!"
…
"If you like it, buy it. It's only 300,000 yuan." Wu Hao said to Lin Wei, who was 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, even though he didn’t say anything, the look in his eyes said everything.
Wu Hao smiled bitterly and then raised the sign next to him.
"Three hundred and ninety thousand. Mr. No. 23 from the second row paid three hundred and ninety thousand. Is there anything higher?"
"Three hundred and ninety thousand?"
After watching the reactions of the guests present, the white-glove man immediately tapped the hammer between his fingers.
"Congratulations to this 23-year-old gentleman for getting this purple jade drop pendant. Thank you for your congratulations on this charity event. Our staff will contact you later."
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 many people who are doing this, they all have a good reputation. Therefore, they can spend more than 400,000 yuan to take pictures of this purple jade drop pendant. In the eyes of the other party, Wu Hao is showing goodwill to the other party.
Wu Hao also nodded slightly in response, but he was actually complaining in his heart, Sister, you think too much.
