Chapter 239 Charity Night
These kinds of charity galas are all about showing off and being extravagant.
Although the three of us make a living in the industry, we don't need to walk the red carpet and show off like those celebrities.
The three of us came in with Mr. Yang.
That's right, Mr. Yang was also invited to attend this dinner.
Once we were seated, the three of us noticed that Mr. Yang's seat was at the front, and in the same row as him were the Wang brothers.
"Brother Jun, Brother Lei!"
Upon meeting the two Mr. Wangs, the three of us greeted them as usual.
"Oh my, isn't this our Master Lin? Your reputation in Hong Kong and even in Beijing is legendary, especially for breaking the Yu family's century-old curse. I heard that now you're asking for at least two million a time?"
Little Wang is so sarcastic.
"Brother Lei, that's an old almanac, the price has gone up again, starting at five million!" Fatty Lin chuckled and held up his palm.
"Look at you, so cocky, making so much money, you're treating us to go out tonight!" Mr. Yang chimed in, sensing the tension in the air.
"Brother, I only earn my money through hard work, it's nothing compared to yours. How can you let your younger brother treat you?" Fatty Lin complained, feigning poverty.
"Sure thing, why shouldn't I be sorry? You've eaten at my place so many times for free, it's only right that I treat you this time!" Boss Yang put his arm around Fatty Lin, looking like he was about to slaughter a fat sheep.
"Fine, I'll treat, okay?" Fatty Lin said with a mournful face.
"Xiao Lin, it's on me tonight. Your value has increased so much now, I'm getting a great deal from you, so this meal has to be on me!" Boss Wang chimed in.
"Yes, let Mr. Wang treat us. He has many beautiful women under his command. Let's have some fun tonight!" Mr. Yang said with a smile.
"Brother Jun, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Fatty Lin said with a smile.
"Why are you being so polite with me!" Boss Wang laughed.
In the midst of laughter and conversation, the slight unpleasantness caused by Little Wang vanished.
As the guests entered one after another, I realized that this event was of a very high standard.
I won't go into detail about President Yang and his group, but there's also President Blair, the former general manager of John Bull, and the Yu family from Hong Kong Island. The son of the father and son, Yu Mingshan, is Gong Ziyi's ex-boyfriend.
Deng Wenwen also arrived, as did several top actresses in the entertainment industry, such as the two kung fu superstars Li Feihong and Yang Xiulian, as well as Chen Daozai, Zhou Wei, Fan Yiyi, and Li Yiyi.
Yang Xiaoxiao, whom we rescued a few days ago, also came.
It's fair to say that almost everyone who was able to attend was a celebrity.
After sitting for a while, Jack Fengfeng arrived.
Although many people came, if you were to ask who stole the show, it would undoubtedly be Gong Ziyi.
When she walked the red carpet, she was the last to appear, and her seat was arranged next to John Bull's former general manager, Blair. It's no exaggeration to say that she was incredibly glamorous.
Every female celebrity present was envious of Gong Ziyi's current glory.
I don't care about it; I'm just a spectator.
There's not much to say about the auction process; nothing unusual happened, like me raising the price whenever you bid.
This charity gala is ostensibly a fundraising event for earthquake relief. Under such circumstances, it's already quite generous to allow these celebrities to compete for attention. If they use this opportunity to fight over other people's favorites, then they're being ungrateful.
So, regardless of their private relationship, on the surface, everyone is nice to each other.
The pre-auction cocktail party was quite fruitful for both me and Fatty Lin.
Aunt Xiao took my brother and me on a tour, and we met a whole bunch of people.
Most of the people she knew were celebrities. On the surface, they gave Aunt Xiao a lot of face and flattered her. But everyone could see what they were really thinking.
As the auction ended and people were leaving, Gong Ziyi made another small surprise.
She and her ex-boyfriend, Yu Mingshan, exchanged a French cheek kiss and said goodbye gracefully. This scene was captured precisely by major media outlets.
When this scene was captured, two people had their faces contorted with jealousy.
One of them was Zhao Jing'er, who didn't stand out much throughout the performance and always forced a smile.
One of them is Fan Yiyi, who has been very close to Gong Ziyi over the past two years and is regarded by Gong Ziyi as her good follower and best friend.
At the time, I was just curious about these two people; I wondered why they were so jealous.
Later I learned that Zhao Jing'er was living in constant fear at the time; she already knew that her boss was going to go bankrupt.
Fan Yiyi, on the other hand, had been plotting for two years, serving as Gong Ziyi's follower for two years, all in order to take her place.
Gong Ziyi's current glory is not like a profusion of flowers, but like oil being poured on a raging fire.
After the banquet, Fatty Lin and Boss Yang left. It's safe to say tonight will be a sleepless night.
"Thirteen, Ni'er, you two come with me. That fat guy is no good, don't worry about him!"
Aunt Xiao knew exactly what Fatty Lin had been doing. She affectionately put her arm around Long Ni'er and led the two of us into the car.
"Old Xiao, Thirteen only got into this world because of Ni'er, otherwise..."
Ye Yingzi also got on the bus with us. She glanced at me and gave me a knowing smile.
"Sister Ying, Ni'er is right here, don't talk nonsense!" I was startled.
Ye Yingzi has such a big mouth, she just can't keep her mouth shut.
"Thirteen, what are you afraid of? Nier already knows about your little affair!" Ye Yingzi spread her legs and slumped into her seat without any regard for her image, clearly exhausted.
"Seriously!" Mary patted Ye Yingzi.
"Sister Ying, don't worry, with me here, the prince won't dare to mess around!" Long Nier said with a light laugh.
"Thirteen, being afraid of your wife isn't a bad thing. Good men all have to be afraid of their wives!" Gu Jun said with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Jun is right!" I nodded.
The people in the car were all old acquaintances, but Mary was quite bold; she no longer hid from people and always brought Gu Jun with her whenever she arrived in mainland China.
"Sister Yu, what's on tonight's program?" I asked after thinking for a moment.
"The usual rules!"
Aunt Xiao said.
The so-called old rule is playing mahjong.
Both Ye Yingzi and Sister Mary are Aunt Xiao's mahjong partners.
Back at the Chang'an Club, in the same private room we always went to.
"Sister Yu, who wants to play?"
After entering the private room, I asked curiously.
Long Nier and I don't play, so if we want to make a game, we can only have Gu Jun play.
"Wait a moment, Ziyi will be here soon!" Aunt Xiao said.
After saying that, she paused and added, "Besides Ziyi, I have another friend who will be arriving soon."
"Which friend?" I asked.
Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "You've met the purple-clad fan today too!"
"Yu Ruixiang, right?"
As soon as she said that, a person immediately popped into my mind.
This person may not seem like a big shot, but he's actually quite wealthy!
I don't know much about this man's background, but one thing I can tell is that Aunt Xiao's attitude towards him is wrong.
It's not that Aunt Xiao liked him, but when she introduced us, she fawned over him the whole time, or rather, tried to please him.
I'm a little curious about her identity given her attitude.
