The charity dinner invited celebrities and dignitaries from the capital, and Pei Zhiting was naturally among the invited guests.

“Do you do charity for fame, or do you truly want to give back to society?”

Those who truly want to give back to society donate money every year, build roads and schools, sponsor poor students, and do good deeds silently without ever saying anything.

For the sake of fame, they will rush into whichever industry makes money, make a fortune, and then donate to charity, just to gain a good reputation and then retire.

"Both."

“There are some who truly want to give back to society, but they are not many.”

"Human nature is selfish. No one will do something that has no benefit. Fame is also a benefit."

Song Xijiao agreed with him that human nature is inherently complex.

"What about you? Why do you do charity?"

"Before, it was for reputation, now it is for accumulating virtue."

"For me?"

"Well, to be with you for a long time."

At 6:30 in the evening, the two arrived at the banquet hall hand in hand.

Song Xijiao wore a champagne-colored one-shoulder floor-length dress, revealing her slender collarbone and long neck. The hem of her skirt was tied with a beautiful bow using a silk ribbon of the same color.

Pei Zhiting was wearing a neat black suit, a bow tie, a coat of the same color draped over his arm, and a tie clip, cuffs, cufflinks...all accessories were complete.

The meteorite dial on the wrist bone is a couple's watch.

In the world of fame and fortune, courtesy is inevitable. Pei Zhiting was afraid that Song Xijiao would be bored, so he said a few words quickly and took Song Xijiao to sit aside.

Auction session.

If you are going to shoot something, shoot the finale.

"The first lot is a pink diamond jewelry set donated by Mr. Pei of Xiting International, including a necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings. The starting price is one million."

"One million and a half."

"Two million."

"Five million."

Everyone bid. This set of jewelry could be worth several times its value tomorrow. It could be given as a gift to a wife, a lover, an auction, or the wife of a powerful man.

"Ten million."

Everyone looked sideways, and Song Xijiao also looked over. It was Li Chen and Lu Shuwan.

She looked back and saw many familiar faces.

Xu Yanzhou and the seventh daughter of the Cao family, Cao Anlan, are in the second row.

Pei Hetong and Lin Wanqing were in the third row.

Cao Dinghuan and his new love, second-tier actress Kong Xuan, sat on their right.

Pei Zhiting’s childhood friend, An Sui... was also there.

Pei Zhiting asked her in a low voice, "Is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you."

Song Xijiao shook her head, "No."

"Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times, deal."

"The second lot is 'Shock Scales - Bracelet Dance,' a gold medal-winning piece by jewelry designer Ms. Song Xijiao in the Gold Jewelry Innovation Design Competition."

"This set of jewelry is based on a dragon and was inspired by the line 'How can I express my deep affection? Two golden rings entwined around my arms' from the poem 'Love Poem.' The starting price is one million and a half thousand."

Song Xijiao stared at the jewelry on display. How could this jewelry be donated? And even auctioned off?

"Two million."

"Five million."

“…”

Most of those who drive up the price do so because she is Mrs. Pei Zhiting.

"Ten million."

"Fifteen million."

"30 million."

“…”

The starting price kept rising until Pei Zhiting made a pistol gesture. No matter how much they offered, his bid was higher than theirs, and he was determined to get it.

"One hundred and fifty million once, one hundred and fifty million twice, one hundred and fifty million three times, deal."

"Why would I donate the jewelry I designed? And why would I spend so much money photographing it?"

"Of course, the jewelry my wife designs is donated to charity, and then I buy it at a high price. The money goes to charity, and my wife also gets face. It's a win-win situation."

It seems that there is some truth to it.

Lin Wanqing was angry, resentful, and a little sour.

How could Pei Zhiting be willing to spend more than 100 million to buy this set of jewelry?

Cao Anlan and Cao Dinghuan are half-siblings with the same father.

They are the only two legitimate children.

The rest are all illegitimate children.

She is Xu Yanzhou's junior and works at Telkang Hospital.

Xu Yanzhou is the attending physician of orthopedics, and she is the chief physician of neurology.

She has admired Xu Yanzhou for a long time, from when she was in school until now, but Xu Yanzhou has never agreed to her.

Her brother asked her to find someone else to love, but she said, "There are three thousand rivers, but I only drink from one."

Her brother scolded her, "You are a dog that licks you till you end up with nothing."

Xu Yanzhou is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, takes things as they come, and watches the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard at leisure.

No matter what she did, he remained calm, like a punch hitting cotton, and she was about to give up.

But now, she seemed to know how to take down Xu Yanzhou.

Li Chen asked everyone who had seen Mr. Li, and they all gave the same account.

Don’t know.

Never seen it.

have no idea.

No such person found.

They thought he was going on a trip and enthusiastically recommended several tourist attractions to him.

In the end, Li Chen also thought that Mr. Li was his imagination.

"Now we're entering the donation phase. For those who wish to accumulate merit, now's your chance."

"please."

Someone took the lead in donating 10 million, and others followed suit, most donating several million, just as a token of their appreciation.

"My wife is very kind. I'm donating 100 million in her name."

"You're doing your best to gain merit, why drag me into this?"

"What's mine is not yours."

Everyone looked at him sideways, one hundred million, what a generous gift.

Cao Dinghuan also donated 100 million yuan. Xiting and Lianshan are competitors, and they will donate as much as Xiting donated.
