He Tiantian was both amused and exasperated; they were all acquaintances!
They're trying to give her face, but it doesn't matter. None of us are short of money, and it's all for charity, so donating more is fine.
Tang Ping'an wrote a number on the paper.
So the woman next to Tang Ping'an immediately raised her bidding paddle and said, "150,000!"
Upon hearing this price, many people looked at the woman who made the offer.
The middle-aged woman was Tang Ping'an's agent, and she didn't understand why Tang Ping'an was so determined to win this gold medal today!
Actually, that gold medal isn't worth much at all; it's not pure gold. Even if it were pure gold, it wouldn't be worth that much money.
Tang Ping'an was very surprised to see He Tiantian in such a scene. He found that he missed the woman in front of him more than he had imagined.
He couldn't disturb her, so he wanted to own something from He Tiantian.
Now is the perfect time to auction off the medal, as he can openly and legitimately collect Teacher He's medal, so he is determined to get it.
Over the years, he has used his royalties to invest in stocks and real estate, and has some money in hand.
Huo Yingjie glanced at Tang Ping'an and knew what the man was up to. He gave Li Xian a look, signaling him to add more money.
"Two hundred thousand." Li Xian raised the sign, glancing smugly at Tang Ping'an.
Tang Ping'an wanted to add another 50,000, but his female agent stopped raising her paddle and said, "Ping'an, you are a very rational person. I don't know why you would do this, but it hasn't been easy for you to earn this money over the years."
Tang Ping'an smiled wryly. Yes, he had made money, but not so much that he didn't care.
Xie Wanying raised her sign and said, "Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Seeing that the price was already quite high, Li Xian was about to add another ten thousand when he heard Li Zhen, the eldest son of the Li family, raise his bidding paddle and say, "Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand..." The people below murmured among themselves. Other celebrities wanted to bid, but seeing that Li Zhen had already made the offer, they didn't want to compete with the eldest son of the Li family.
Jiao Lihong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Three hundred thousand!
A gold medal can sell for 300,000. Although you can't get the money yourself, it's still a lot of face, especially in front of social elites in Hong Kong.
While envious, Jiao Lihong was also jealous, as she still hadn't won a single gold medal.
Not a single one!
It's all He Tiantian's fault. If it weren't for He Tiantian, her silver medal could have been exchanged for a gold medal.
A gold medal!
Jiao Lihong's heart was bleeding just thinking about it! She couldn't take it anymore; she had to take some action.
If she doesn't take action, she'll never get ahead.
Huo Yingjie glanced at Li Zhen. He was a vengeful man who had a good relationship with his elder brother, Huo Yingjun. He probably asked for a high price because of that relationship.
"My God, 300,000! Anyone else bidding?" 300,000 once, 300,000 twice, 300,000 three times... This medal belongs to Mr. Li Zhen. "Wang Mingquan exclaimed, truly never expecting this medal to be so valuable.
As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives like Tang Ping'an, nothing else matters.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your support of charity," He Tiantian said gratefully, then put the gold medal in a box and handed it to Li Zhen.
"It's an honor, and I'd be delighted." Li Zhen was very respectful. Although he had many romantic affairs, he dared not show the slightest disrespect when looking at He Tiantian.
The Li family is a prominent family in Hong Kong. After Hong Kong's return to China, those who want to become prominent figures in China will still have to work hard.
Unlike the Huo family, which started as businesses, the Huo family were descendants of meritorious officials, possessed power, and had many high-ranking officials in their family.
In China, having power has always been more valuable than having money.
Putting aside the fact that He Tiantian's husband is a top materials expert, He Tiantian's father-in-law is the governor of Jiangsu Province, and the Li family has many investments in Jiangsu Province with very high returns.
And the Huo family is full of talented people; we can't afford to offend them!
Even if He Tiantian were more beautiful than a fairy from the heavens, Li Zhen wouldn't dare to even dream of her.
As the future successor of the Li family, he should be able to understand this point.
The subsequent auctions went smoothly, and the entire charity gala raised a total of four million dollars, which will be used for the treatment of children's diseases in Hong Kong.
After the auction, there was a banquet.
This time, the food is served buffet style.
The athletes formed their own group, chatting and laughing together.
He Tiantian, along with Xie Feifei, Xi Rongrong, and others, came over to greet everyone.
"Although you didn't spend a penny, thank you for your support, cousin." He Tiantian said jokingly to Li Xian. Snake King looked even more handsome, his white Zhongshan suit making him look dashing.
Li Xian smiled and said, "Hehe, you know, it's just to show my support. I can't eat or drink anything."
Upon hearing this, He Tiantian glared at Li Xian, pinched the Snake King's arm, and said, "Would it kill you to say something nice?"
"He won't die, he'll go crazy!" Li Xian said, raising an eyebrow. He glanced at Huo Yingjie not far away, shrugged, and ran away.
If we don't leave soon, Huo Yingjie will probably come over.
He Tiantian turned her head and saw Huo Yingjie, and smiled silently.
Tang Ping'an was drinking in a corner, his gaze unconsciously falling in the direction of He Tiantian.
Xie Wanying came over and said with a smile, "Ping An, your respected Teacher He is here. Why don't you go and say hello?"
Tang Ping'an held the red wine, swirled it gently, and said, "I know Teacher He has always been very good, that's enough."
"Hehe, are all literature students this artistic?" Xie Wanying retorted. "Alright, I often correspond with Teacher He, and we often talk about you. Although you are no longer her student, she really cares about you."
Seeing Xie Wanying's words, if Tang Ping'an insisted on not greeting her, he would be seen as ungrateful and heartless in the eyes of others.
Tang Ping'an and Xie Wanying came over together, and He Tiantian saw them and her eyes lit up with surprise.
"Congratulations on your great achievement, Tang! I've read all the books you sent, they're wonderful," He Tiantian praised. "Keep up the good work and achieve even greater success in the future."
Xie Wanying covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "No wonder you're a teacher, you start talking like a Confucian scholar as soon as you see your students!"
"Haha, it really does look alike!" He Tiantian laughed as well.
Tang Ping'an was somewhat lost in thought, but then said, "Teacher He is the best teacher I have ever met. I will always be your student."
These words are said to others, but also to myself.
"Hehe, it's my honor." He Tiantian smiled with satisfaction, feeling quite pleased with herself for having students all over the world. "When are you going to Yanjing? I'll treat you to a meal."
"I'll definitely visit you when I have the chance," Tang Ping'an said. "Teacher He, if you have time, may I invite you to have a meal with me?"
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Hehe, you don't need to make a special trip. Isn't there an overseas premiere of 'Tai Chi Master' tomorrow? We can go out for dinner together after it's over."
"Alright then." Tang Ping'an nodded. "We'll go together tomorrow."
