    This is a charity banquet, with Ohai Group as the organizer. The banquet has been prepared a year ago and will be officially held in early March. Celebrities from all walks of life will attend. The auction items will be clothes, jewelry, and paintings provided by caring people.  , antiques, etc., and the funds raised will be used to treat sick children.

    Zhou Xiao is barely considered a semi-celebrity. Over the years, he has met many entrepreneurs and group leaders, and is well-known in the industry. However, this is the first time he has been invited to participate in such a large-scale charity dinner. The invitation card will be sent in a week.  Da, Fang had already snatched the card and looked around, curious and excited: "Will you be on TV?"

    "Reporters only photograph celebrities."

    Fang has said: "You look better than celebrities."

    Zhou Xiao was very helpful and rewarded her with a kiss and said, "Why, you want to go too?"

    Fang is naturally very interested in such lively occasions where she can meet celebrities from all walks of life, but she knows where she shouldn't go. For example, she should stay away from places where Chiang Kai-shek is bound to appear.  Fang has thrown away the invitation card: "I will not steal other people's limelight!"

    She knew what was right. Since Zhou Xiao confessed to her that night, she had not asked anything related to it. She only got a guarantee from him that the fact that Shen Liying was Shen Zhaohua would not be spread out. She did not have deep feelings for Shen Liying.  But she still missed Shen Zhaohua who coaxed her to sleep.  Fang has looked at her fingers. She remembers helping her mother take the clothes drying rack when she was a child. The clothes rack was made of wood and was rough in a few places. The wooden thorns pierced her fingers. Her mother used a lighter to burn the needles.  It was hot, and she was asked to hold up a flashlight to shine on her finger. She didn't dare to look, turned her head and closed her eyes. Her mother lied to her and said it didn't hurt, but it hurt when she picked it, and she cried out in pain.

    Zhou Xiao was selecting the donated lots, and Fang was already in a daze. He shouted a few times and said, "Give me some advice!"

    Fang turned on the computer and asked: "Do you want to be low-key or in the limelight?"

    ¡°Standing out in the limelight while keeping a low profile.¡±

    Fang rolled his eyes at him, searched for information on previous years' charity dinners, and said, "The total amount of donations raised at last year's Ohai Charity Dinner was more than 40,000 and nearly 50 million. The most expensive one was an 8 million oil painting, and the most expensive one was an 8 million oil painting.  The cheapest one is a celebrity evening dress costing 300,000 yuan. Let me calculate the average and see who are the big names who will attend the dinner this year. You can compare it with last year. Don¡¯t overshadow the big names, but you must  Better than most people."

    Zhou Xiao said: "You have quite an idea."

    Fang Ji blinked at him: "The first day you met me?"

    In the end, Fang has suggested donating a set of jade carvings, with the best transaction price being 1.5 million to 2 million. Fang has reminded him: "Didn't you say that you know several rich second generations? Tell them in advance.  If no one bids you a price, ask them to do you a favor so that you won¡¯t be embarrassed later!¡±

    Zhou Xiao pushed her head: "Will no one bid on my things?"

    "Who knows who you are, don't be so narcissistic at times like this!" Fang already hugged him with a playful smile, "Only you are in my eyes!"

    Zhou Xiao chuckled and sang: "I said I only have eyes for you"

    Fang was shocked and interrupted him: "I didn't think our age difference would create a generation gap before, but now I have that feeling!"

    Zhou Xiao darkened his face and decided not to pay attention to her!

    Zhou Xiao was busy selecting jade carvings for a few days, but the vacation was over and he had to go back to work at Ohai Group.  Zhou Xiao had never discussed work issues with her. Fang had already considered it carefully and decided to resign. When his colleagues heard about it, they were in disbelief: "Are you planning to change jobs?"

    Fang has asked back: "Where can I dance?"

    "Then why did you resign? This is Ohai. No matter how many people want to get in, they can't get in. Our department is great!"

    Fang Ji said with a smile: "Actually, I never told anyone that I won the lottery!"

    The news that Fang had won the lottery spread in the department in an instant. Regardless of whether it was true or not, her colleagues were clamoring for a treat from her. Fang had rummaged through her wallet, thinking that she could be rich for once. Before leaving work, she sent a text message to Zhou Xiao to inform Zhou Xiao that she would be home late.  Zhou Xiao asked her where she was going to eat, and Fang already gave her the name of the hotel. She thought Zhou Xiao wanted to pick her up, but until she finished the meal and paid the bill, Zhou Xiao was nowhere to be seen. However, the waiter did not take her money and said, "Mr. Zhou  Say your meal money will be charged to his account.¡±

    Fang Ji quietly called Zhou Xiao to ask, and Zhou Xiao said lightly: "Oh, I happen to be familiar with this hotel. Are you going to have a show later? I'll show you a few places, whether it's a bar or a singing gig.  Submit my name and you don¡¯t have to pay the bill.¡±

    The disappointment that Fang had resigned instantly dissipated, "Zhou Xiao, I feel that there is no generation gap between us at all. Not only is there no generation gap, we are also spiritually connected!"

    You have to wait until you leave your jobMonths later, before Fang could wait, the charity dinner had already started. A few days before the dinner, colleagues were collectively excited. After gossiping about celebrities and the rich second generation, the main character circled back and forth to Shen Liying.  It is difficult for young employees to see Shen Liying in the company, and Fang Ji is no exception. On the contrary, the media has often published reports about charity dinners recently. Shen Liying has naturally been out of the country, and Fang Ji can't help but read the news. After reading it, he feels empty.  .

    On the night of the dinner, Zhou Xiao put on a tailored suit and kissed her husband before going out. Her eyes fell calmly on the web page she had just switched to in a hurry and said: "I'll be back very late today. You don't have to wait for me."  ,sleep early."

    The charity dinner was an unprecedented event, with celebrities and business giants from all walks of life in attendance. Reporters blocked the outfield. Zhou Xiao silently shouted for Fang in his heart. After thinking about it, he secretly took a photo and sent it to  Fang Ji, Fang Ji responded instantly, and after countless exclamation points asked him to get the autograph of a certain male star. Zhou Xiao would never do such a low price, so he turned a blind eye to the text message.

    Among the dinner guests, one person appeared unexpectedly, and that was Ou Wei Miao.

    Ou Weimiao was wearing a white evening dress, standing gracefully next to Ou Haiping, chairman of Ouhai Group, to be interviewed by the media. Ou Haiping was nearly sixty years old, well-dressed, calm and restrained. As soon as he appeared, the media's focus was naturally on  On him, Ou Wei Miao was reserved and smiling, dignified and generous.

    The man sitting next to him said to someone else: "I heard that Ou Haiping's daughter returned to China last year. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful. It's a pity that the famous girl has her own owner."

    Zhou Xiao drank wine casually, waiting for the dinner to start.

    The host of the dinner had a lengthy dialogue, and it took a long time for the auction to begin. The first item was a ceramic sculpture, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan, and the final bid was 600,000 yuan.  The second auction item was a set of diamond jewelry. The starting price was also 200,000 yuan, but it was finally sold to 680,000 yuan.  After several lots, the auctioneer said: "The next lot is a black lacquer brush with gold dragon patterns drawn from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The whole body is black lacquer, and the dragon body is painted in gold lacquer, surrounding the entire brush body and dotted with auspicious clouds.  , the dragon body maintains a posture of chasing fire beads, with the words "Made in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty" on it. The production process is complex and unique to the Ming Dynasty. The donor is Mr. Jiang Guomin. The starting price is 350,000. The bidding starts now!"

    Someone asked for a price, and the auctioneer said: "Mr. Chen, 400,000!"

    Someone called again, and the auctioneer said: "Mr. Wang said 450,000! Mr. Xu said 550,000!"

    Someone was still shouting, and the auctioneer said, "This lady has 900,000 yuan. Do you still have 900,000 yuan?"

    No one seemed to be calling out the price anymore. Zhou Xiao held up a sign: "One million!"

    The auctioneer said: "Mr. Zhou has one million, is there still one million? One million once, one million twice"

    Someone else raised a sign: "One million and eighty thousand!"

    The person holding the placard was one of the shareholders of the Ohai Group. The black lacquer brush with gold dragon pattern was finally sold for 1.8 million. He smiled and talked to the person sitting next to him. The person sitting next to him happened to be Jiang Guomin. Zhou Xiao looked over.  , happened to catch Jiang Guomin's gaze, and Jiang Guomin smiled at him.

    There were several more auction items, and the transaction prices were very impressive. Finally, it was Zhou Xiao¡¯s turn for the jade carving. The starting price was 160,000, which is not expensive. The bidding started, and Zhou Xiao greeted his friends: "The bidding will stop at 900,000."

    My friend understood this and called her over one after another. When he was about to call nine hundred thousand, a female voice suddenly said: "One million two hundred thousand."

    Zhou Xiaoxun couldn't help but cursed when he heard the sound. The eyes of everyone present were attracted to the source of the sound. Ou Weimiao put down his hand and looked at the stage with a smile. The auctioneer shouted: "Miss Ou, one million and two hundred thousand, and  Isn¡¯t it higher? One million and two hundred thousand once, one million and two hundred thousand twice, one million and two hundred thousand is done!¡±

    There was applause at the guest table. Ou Wei Miao glanced at Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao scolded her again in his mind and smiled politely. Ou Wei Miao looked a little shy and looked away.

    When the auction came to an end, Zhou Xiao walked to Jiang Guomin, who introduced him to his friends with a smile.  Sitting on the main seat was Ou Haiping, and next to Ou Haiping was Ou Weimiao. Jiang Guomin said: "Old Ou, this is Mr. Zhou Xiaozhou that I mentioned to you!"

    Zhou Xiao said: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Ou, just call me Xiao Zhou."

    Ou Haiping smiled and said, "Miaomiao just said that she knows you. I heard that you had dinner together?"

    Zhou Xiao smiled and replied: "I had an appointment with Yufei for dinner before, and I was lucky enough to meet Miss Ou."

    A few people exchanged a few words, and Jiang Guomin took Zhou Xiao to meet other people. As he walked, he asked, "Why didn't you bring your female companion?"

    Zhou Xiao said: "A woman brings trouble, but a man ends up in peace."

    Jiang Guomin smiled and suddenly said: "Oh, really? I thought you would bring that Miss Fang with you." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Website: www.hlnovel.com
