    Qin Shiou was in a daze in his seat when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

    He was startled, and subconsciously hugged the statue tightly. When he turned around, he saw that it was an acquaintance, the new mayor Hamre.

    There was a gentle middle-aged man beside Hamre. The middle-aged man was carrying a bag. Qin Shiou ignored the mayor and said to the middle-aged man: "Sir, could you please lend me your bag?"  Shall I use it? I will return it to you tomorrow."

    The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, he looked at Qin Shiou with strange eyes, and said hesitantly: "Sorry, man, I don't think this is very convenient."

    Hamre helped Qin Shiou and said: "No, Slavic, we all know that there are only a few insignificant documents in the bag, you take it out and put it in Xiao Ika's bag, and lend this bag to Qin  Well, I guarantee he will return it to you."

    The middle-aged man Slavic is obviously a civil servant. What can he do if the mayor speaks?  Then he took out the documents from his backpack and gave the bag to Qin Shiou.

    Qin Shiou put the statue of the god into his bag, and the temptation finally eased slightly, allowing him to communicate with others normally.

    Hamre sat with him and said happily: "How long have we not seen each other? God, you just stay in the fishing ground to enjoy your wonderful life, why don't you come to the city to participate in some activities?"

    Qin Shiou said: "You know, Wei Ni is pregnant, I have to take care of her all the time."

    Hamre nodded and asked: "Where's Winnie? Is she here today?"

    Qin Shiou said he didn't come because the traffic on the road was inconvenient and the weather was cold, so he asked Wei Ni to stay at home.  He asked Hamre what he was doing here, was he here to host the auction?

    He said this as a joke. The mayor definitely cannot host a charity auction for the public. It is not a matter of identity, but that he is now one of the most unpopular people on the scene.

    When the Canadian government promotes itself, there is a sentence that often appears, which means that the government¡¯s primary responsibility is to maintain social fairness and justice and ensure that vulnerable groups in society are not eliminated.

    What is the purpose of charity activities like this?  Naturally, it is to help the vulnerable groups.  But according to the government, shouldn't this be the government's responsibility?  Besides, taxpayers pay taxes every year, but where do those taxes go?  Why doesn't the government solve the funding problem when people within its jurisdiction are affected by disasters and still needs taxpayers' donations?

    Sure enough, after listening to his words, Hamre smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The government is not omnipotent, Qin, you don't know how bad the stall I took over is. I don't want to complain to you, I can only say that I am here to participate this time  Charity auction, coming in a private capacity.¡±

    The two were communicating. At this time, a man in a suit with white gloves came on stage and knocked on the table to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he waved his hand, and some children came out and distributed brochures to everyone present.

    This brochure introduces the areas affected by the snow disaster and the destructive power it caused. Naturally, it calls on everyone to actively participate in the auction to help the victims.

    After reading the brochure, Qin Shiou learned that this four-town charity auction was organized by the congregation of the Basilica of Christ the Baptist, and Cabot was one of the leaders.  The manual specifically mentioned his second grandfather, Qin Hongde, and introduced the origins of the four-town charity auctions and the results of several previous ones.

    After the auction started, White Glove took out the auction items one by one. There were many items participating in the auction, including simple drawings drawn by children.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Qin Shiou raised his cards a few times and took down some small things. He had no use for these things, but as he said before, it was to accumulate virtue for the children, because it didn't cost much, and he was not short of money now.

    Especially, this time he participated in the auction and got an unexpected surprise: the statue of Long Danxiang. According to the tradition of his hometown, he also had to spread some wealth. He couldn't just let him get all the good things in the world.

    Moreover, Qin Shiou felt that everything in the world was destined to be determined by one drink and one peck. Almost all the ambergris he got were related to his kind deeds. The last time he got the ambergris bracelet, it was because he generously gave up pursuing the garbage.  Boat Owner Responsibilities.

    White Gloves raised another small tiger sculpture. Qin Shiou was particularly sensitive to wood carvings now. From too far away, he didn't know if this little thing was related to ambergris, but it was dark, so he simply raised his hand. Ning Wrong  Don't let go of killing.

    As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, Hamre next to him also raised his hand. The two looked at each other, and Qin Shiou asked in a low voice: "Are you interested in this?"

    HamLei said helplessly: "Man, this is the auction item that I took out. It is a small toy that my sister and I carved out of oak when we were children."

    Qin Shiou touched his nose. Since Hamre said this thing was carved from oak, it obviously had nothing to do with him, so he took the opportunity to go downhill without continuing to bid.

    But someone got involved with Hamley, and that person was related to Qin Shiou - Nelson.

    White Glove shouted: "Oak tiger toy, two hundred Canadian dollars - ok, the gentleman offered 200 Canadian dollars - 300 Canadian dollars, oh, thank our Mr. Mayor, he offered - ok, the gentleman increased the price  At $500 Canadian dollars¡­¡±

    Hamre looked at Nelson strangely. The two naturally knew each other. He asked: "What is Nelson doing? Why is he interested in such a little toy?"

    Qin Shiou glanced at Hamre with ill intentions. He would not tell this guy about Paris. It is estimated that the mayor was too busy after taking office and did not pay attention to his sister's emotional problems.

    Nelson got impatient and started a tug-of-war with his uncle. The next price increase was directly raised to 1,000 yuan.

    The first cry of exclamation rang out at the scene. Everyone didn't understand how a bunch of broken toys that could be bought for five yuan at such a street stall could be sold for a high price of 1,000 yuan. However, this was a charity auction, and everything cannot be measured by common sense.  .

    Hearing White Glove shout out the price of '1000', Hamre whispered: "This bastard will definitely regret it, does he think it is made of gold? Okay, okay, since he wants it, let him take it!  "

    Qin Shiou secretly said to you, you unlucky uncle, Nelson is going to take away not just a toy, but also your precious sister.

    Afterwards, the value of the things that appeared became higher and higher. In the background, there were auction treasure appraisal experts invited by the church. They urgently evaluated the items participating in the auction. The worthless things could simply be divided into bins, while if they were important things,  , then you need to evaluate it carefully.

    The auction will not be completed overnight, but will be divided into several time periods. The auction of the first period is coming to an end. At this time, a Chinese painting was taken out. It was an extremely long scroll. The name of the scroll was impressively "Along the River During Qingming Festival"  ¡·!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
