Chapter 60 How can I bear to let a beauty suffer
There was a hint of threat in the man's words, accusing him of having a secret marriage.
Shen Qingning played dumb: "No way."
The last time I came to Rose Manor was during the day, but this time it was in the evening and the scenery was different.
The roses in the courtyard were still fragrant. After Shen Qingning entered, she couldn't help but recall the scene of her first meeting with Si Moting.
Biting his ear.
Si Moting also thought of it, and a faint smile hung on his handsome face. Both of them were in a good mood.
Across the courtyard is the main venue.
Shen Qingning discovered that the first floor had been renovated and all the isolation doors had been removed, turning four or five banquet halls into just one.
The view suddenly widened, and the scale of this place is quite large.
There were already quite a few people sitting on the benches below, but most of them were concentrated in the back row.
The first row in front was empty. There were only a few people in the second row. There were not many people in the third row either.
It can be seen that the heavyweights have not arrived yet.
The movie star that Shen Qingning had seen earlier was sitting in the fourth row, with a female companion beside him. He must also be a star.
As soon as Si Moting entered, his eyes fixed on the person at the door immediately drifted over.
Shen Qingning was shocked: "Weren't you always abroad before? Why do I feel like they all know you?"
"Baby, you're the only one who doesn't care about this."
Si Moting ignored the gazes of others and led Shen Qingning to the second floor. "People involved in the dynamics of Jingang City must be aware of it. Otherwise, how can we do business?"
"All right"
The auction doesn't start until 8 o'clock, and those people in the so-called first three rows are all on the second floor now.
As soon as Shen Qingning went upstairs, she found that it was much quieter here than downstairs, and there were few people in the corridor.
Si Moting took him directly to the box.
"elder brother."
There were several people sitting in the box.
Si Yanming and Shen Qingzhi are both here.
Shen Qingning called out, "Brother Fu, Sister Mingzhu, long time no see."
The people in the room were none other than Fu Xin and Gu Mingzhu.
Fu Xin's eyes wandered over their clasped hands, and he jokingly said, "I haven't seen Ningning for a while. A few days ago, I heard from Gu Chen that you were in love. Turns out you were with Young Master Si."
People outside call Si Yanming Mr. Si and Si Moting Mr. Si, making a distinction between big and small.
Shen Qingning touched her nose shyly: "Yeah. We just started dating, and I didn't have time to tell you."
"Ningning is in college now, it's time for her to have a relationship. Boys should let go early and grow up early." Gu Mingzhu held a wine glass and sat upright.
She is the only woman in the room, but her aura is no less than anyone else's.
Compared to Gu Chen, Shen Qingning quite likes his elder sister.
Back then, Gu Mingzhu kicked her scumbag father to the ground, beat up her mistress and illegitimate son, and took control of the Gu Group, which rose rapidly.
This legendary woman has been admired since ancient times.
"Sister Mingzhu, you are getting more and more beautiful." Shen Qingning smiled brightly.
"Good boy." No woman doesn't like to hear nice words, especially when the person praising her is a young and handsome guy: "Come, sit down and talk."
Shen Qingning let go of the person and ran over to sit next to Gu Mingzhu. The atmosphere of elder sister talking to each other suddenly became very harmonious.
Si Moting watched his wife run away, and then he doted on her and sat down next to his eldest brother. He also greeted Shen Qingzhi across from him, "Brother Shen."
Shen Qingzhi didn't sit with Si Yanming. He always kept his distance when outside. To avoid upsetting the beauty, Si Yanming acted like a gentleman, not overstepping the bounds.
Shen Qingzhi nodded, holding his wine glass, and continued the previous topic: "This auction is for charity. I'm thinking about how much money would be appropriate."
There are also some etiquettes for donating.
Donating too much is likely to offend people, and donating too little is likely to be criticized, especially since there are many media here tonight.
If it weren't for the huge event, Shen Qingzhi wouldn't have let his brother come.
Fu Xin said, "I have 30 million here. Mingzhu and I have the same amount. How about you do the same as us?"
Shen Qingzhi thought the same thing; it wouldn't attract attention if they donated everything.
Si Yanming said, "It's too little."
"Hmm?" Shen Qingzhi looked up at him.
Gu Mingzhu frowned. "It's not a small amount. We donated about the same amount in previous years. If we donate too much, it would be a problem if someone with ulterior motives targeted us."
When it comes to charity, the more the better, of course. But it also depends on whose territory it is.
It's lonely at the top. The Xie family stands at the top, constantly clashing with international forces. The glory is one thing, and the danger in the dark is another.
Two years ago, a company was destroyed because it was too high-profile in its dealings with the Xie family.
Since they didn't want to eat the Xie family's food, they naturally didn't want to attract attention.
Si Yanming didn't say anything. He saw that Shen Qingzhi's glass was empty. He slowly picked up the red wine and stretched his arm over.
Shen Qingzhi handed the wine glass forward naturally.
This scene was quite interesting in the eyes of Fu Xin and Gu Mingzhu.
Fu Xin raised his eyebrows and exchanged a meaningful look with Gu Mingzhu.
As the red liquid poured into the wine glass, Si Yanming spoke indifferently, "The funds raised from this event will not be used in Country G, but will be sent to Country K. The Yi family has built a new safe zone there. Young Master Xie is eager to offer his support."
"Yi family?"
Si Moting knew about this, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "I remember Mr. Xie heroically saving the young master of the Yi family?"
"Country K is constantly at war, and the safe zone is in need of reconstruction. Today's price is a token of Mr. Xie's thoughtfulness."
Having said that, Shen Qingzhi understood.
He had heard about the situation in Country K. Thirty million was too much for a normal family.
But for a country that has been in constant war and has trouble getting food, it is just a drop in the bucket.
As one of the most famous companies in Jingang City, if they continue to show courtesy as before, they might offend Mr. Xie.
However, Si Yanming only told himself this important information.
Shen Qingzhi had to reassess the importance of that night.
Shen Qingzhi understood these principles in a blink of an eye, and Fu Xin and Gu Mingzhu understood them even more immediately.
He raised his cup to express his gratitude to Si Yanming: "Thank you, Mr. Si, for the reminder."
"You're welcome." Si Yanming clinked glasses with him and suddenly said, "Who made Ms. Shen so beautiful? How could I bear to let such a beauty suffer?"
puff!
Shen Qingning almost spit out a mouthful of juice. She looked at the serious Si Yanming in surprise, and then at her elder brother who remained calm.
Wow, I didn’t realize that Brother Si’s mouth is just as good as his younger brother’s.
Sure enough, the family member couldn't open his mouth again and blatantly teased his innocent brother.
The eldest brother is still the most stable one. Look, his eyelids don't even move.
Shen Qingzhi swirled his wine glass nonchalantly and accepted his praise calmly: "It's not even as good as Mr. Si."
The polite business compliments between two people have different meanings in the eyes of others.
Fu Xin gave Gu Mingzhu another look.
It seems that the previous rumors about Si Yanming's romantic affair with Shen Qingzhi were not groundless.
