Chapter 219: Little Flower Girl, Big Flower Girl
At the Bazaar Charity Gala, the sounds of auction bidding were heard one after another. The game between Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei became more and more intense, and the tit-for-tat meaning was extremely obvious.
The originally noisy scene of the party became a little quiet due to the fierce competition between the two, and everyone watched the two young actresses compete with each other in amazement.
In a blink of an eye, the auction price of Montblanc pens has broken through the 800,000 mark.
Liu Yifei sat in the first row beside the catwalk, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a calm and confident smile. After a very enjoyable display of holding up the sign, the depression in her chest was swept away.
She was very smart and realized that the other party was determined to get the item, so she raised the price boldly.
Liu Shishi's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if there was a fire flickering in her eyes.
She was also feeling a little anxious. If the stalemate continued like this, her small treasury would be depleted and it would be difficult to support this "money-burning" war.
Song Ci frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to raise the sign to bid to break the deadlock and end this farce.
A few days ago, Zhao Liying and Yang Mi had a fight, and now Miss Liu and Liu Yifei are also competing with each other.
When all the 85 flowers become famous in the future, it is hard to tell what will happen under the collision and friction in the world of fame and fortune.
Song Ci made a move, and a deep and powerful voice came out: "850,000!"
The host Ke Lan was originally watching the wonderful "performance" of the two young actresses with great interest when she heard an abrupt bid from table number two.
After a long pause, he finally reacted and shouted at the top of his voice, "Mr. Song Ci from Tengda Group offers 850,000!"
Song Ci's sudden intervention surprised everyone who was watching the show. They started whispering to each other.
Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei seemed to be temporarily at a loss for what to do because of the sudden change. They did not speak for a while and the scene fell into an inexplicable silence.
Ke Lan seized the opportunity and slammed the auction hammer down heavily: "850,000 for the first time! 850,000 for the second time!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, Liu Shishi actually offered another price: "900,000!"
There was an uproar at the scene. Who would have thought that the leading young actress of Tangren Film and Television is so brave!
The boss raised the sign just now, obviously wanting to give the two ladies a decent ending, but unexpectedly, Liu Shishi did not appreciate it. This is so dramatic.
Hearing the voice, Song Ci turned sideways and looked at Liu Shishi through the crowd. Seeing her biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth and her eyes full of stubbornness, he shook his head helplessly and slowly put down the number plate in his hand.
Youyou sighed and said, "Never mind, it's just a little money, let her do whatever she feels like."
Liu Yifei was also very surprised. She didn't expect the other party to be so bold and continue to follow up. She subconsciously wanted to compete with her.
Before he could finish his words, he saw Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting next to him, shaking his head slightly at him, with a look of admonition in his eyes.
"Yifei, forget it! There's no need to offend Mr. Song just for a moment of anger."
Liu Yifei hesitated immediately. Huang Xiaoming had done her a favor in the past. Since Huang Xiaoming had spoken to dissuade her, if she continued to insist, she would be not giving him face, and there would also be the risk of offending Song Ci.
After weighing the pros and cons, I decided not to say anything more. I had already made the other party spend 900,000 yuan, and the anger in my heart had subsided.
After waiting for a while, no one bid anymore, so Ke Lan quickly brought down the hammer. She also wanted to end this tense auction as soon as possible.
"900,000 for the third time. Congratulations to Shishi for winning this Montblanc fountain pen."
At this time, his partner Wu Dawei glanced at the inscription card in his hand, a strange look appeared on his face, and after confirming it again and again, he smiled and said in a clear and loud voice:
"Please invite Mr. Song Ci, Xia Yu, and Li Bingbing from Tengda Group to present the charity certificates to the winners. Shishi, please come on stage."
When the people in the audience heard this, they all smiled strangely. It was a really interesting scene.
Liu Shishi didn't give the big boss face just now and pressed Song Ci to continue holding up the sign. But now she has to accept the award. The two of them are face to face. It's really a changing world.
Although her small treasury was half deflated, she finally got what she wanted. Hearing the host's call, Liu Shishi slowly stood up, adjusted her skirt, and walked lightly towards the center of the dazzling stage.
Miss Liu is tall and graceful, with a gentle and dignified temperament, and her figure sways when she walks. Cai Yinong nodded with satisfaction after seeing her, thinking that his sister now has her manners and temperament engraved in her bones.
Song Ci also walked towards the stage, wearing a black shirt, deep and quiet. His sleeves were casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing his beautiful arms, with a free and unrestrained temperament.
On his wrist was just an ordinary silver Longines watch without too many gorgeous decorations. However, paired with his handsome face, it showed an incomparable nobility and calmness.
Some female guests in the audience were attracted by his unique charm and their eyes sparkled.
Liu Shishi stood on the stage first, looking at Song Ci who was walking towards her steadily from afar, her heart beating with excitement.
My man's temperament and appearance are really dazzling under the light and completely irresistible.
"Welcome Mr. Song, Li Bingbing, and Xia Yu, please present the award to Shishi." Ke Lan held the microphone and threaded the needle on the stage.
Song Ci took the red charity certificate and turned around to hand it to Miss Liu.
Liu Shishi reached out to take the certificate, raised her eyes and looked at Mr. Song who was close to her. Her eyes were as gentle as water, flowing with endless love and attachment, as if the person in front of her was the only one on the stage.
Li Bingbing saw the expression on Liu Shishi's face clearly and couldn't help rolling his eyes. The little girl had good acting skills, and her eyes were full of admiration and love. I guess few men could resist it.
No wonder he dared to bid despite the pressure. It turns out he was waiting here. His real intention was not to bid.
She looked at Song Ci calmly again. After taking a closer look, even the experienced actress who had seen countless handsome guys in the circle couldn't help but tremble in her heart. He was really too handsome. This face was simply a masterpiece of the Creator.
Then he glanced at Xia Yu beside him. Under the brilliance of Song Ci, he became an inconspicuous background board and was turned into ashes in seconds.
"Shishi, what do you feel at this moment?" The host Ke Lan's question interrupted Yijie's scattered thoughts.
Liu Shishi quickly came back to her senses and took the microphone: "I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in today's Bazaar Charity Gala..."
I don’t know if it was because I was a little nervous because it was my first time participating in such a large-scale event, or because I was too excited to stand on the stage with Song Ci openly.
After she finished her first sentence, her tongue seemed to be tied up. She stammered for a long time and couldn't utter the second complete sentence.
With an awkward giggle, her mind suddenly went blank, without any thoughts. She subconsciously turned sideways to look at Song Ci beside her, wanting to ask for help from the person she trusted most.
"Don't panic!" Song Ci noticed Miss Liu's embarrassment, and said something soothing in a soft voice, then led the applause, hoping to give his girlfriend some encouragement and make her relax.
Her boyfriend standing beside her seemed to give Liu Shishi great courage. She tried to sort out her confused thoughts and continued, "I hope that through the Bazaar charity event, more people will pay attention to charity and public welfare."
But after I finished saying this, the nervousness came back to me. I held the microphone and opened my mouth, but found that I had no thoughts. I could only hide my embarrassment with a silly laugh.
Seeing this, Song Ci really wanted to touch Miss Liu's head to comfort her, but under the spotlight, he could only think of a way to help her out.
So she reached for the microphone, wanting to say something to smooth things over. Liu Shishi did not resist at all and obediently handed the microphone to her boyfriend.
Song Ci took the microphone and said calmly and firmly: "There is no need to talk too much about charity, the main thing is action!"
Song Ci successfully helped Liu Shishi out of the predicament with his appropriate and clever words, and then handed the microphone back to her.
After all, she is the winner of this charity auction, and she sincerely hopes that her little childhood sweetheart can shine and show herself on the stage.
“Well…” Liu Shishi was still a little stage-frightened and couldn’t utter a word. She subconsciously looked at Mr. Song with a little aggrieved look in her eyes.
Song Ci's heart softened, and he took the microphone again, his voice clear and powerful: "Shishi may be too nervous, let me say a few words for her. After all, tonight's event is unprecedented, and there are many leaders present, so it is normal to be nervous.
First of all, it is a great honor for me to be the award presenter for Shishi. From her determination when she bid just now, we can see that she really wants to contribute to charity.
She is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl. I also wish the Bazaar Charity Club to do better. Thank you all."
Cai Yinong, who was watching the interaction between the two, couldn't help laughing when he heard Song Ci's words of relief. Boss Song actually described Yijie's quarrel as a sincere charity. His heart was really biased.
"Thank you, Shishi! Thank you, Mr. Song!" Amidst thunderous applause from the audience, Ke Lan invited several guests off the stage.
As soon as she got off the stage, Liu Shishi shook her head repeatedly in annoyance, extremely dissatisfied with her stiff and awkward performance on stage. Suddenly, her little head became bright, and she felt that she had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to express.
Returning to her seat, Sister Yi looked dejected: "Sister K, am I really embarrassed? My performance was so bad."
Cai Yinong patted Miss Liu on the back of her hand and comforted her gently: "It's okay, everyone has gone through this. Just treat today as a preview of your future official announcement. Just don't be speechless when the official announcement comes."
"Ah, Miss K, what are you talking about?"
"I still don't know what you're thinking. You've been delaying the announcement of your relationship. Aren't you just waiting until you become famous, so that you can pick a great opportunity to attract everyone's attention and then announce it on stage?"
After being exposed by Sister K, Sister Yi felt her face burning hot, and the blush spread all the way to her ears. However, Cai Yinong successfully diverted her attention and she was no longer depressed.
At this time, the lights on the stage focused again, and Ke Lan said in an excited tone: "Dear guests, the next item to appear is the finale of this charity auction. It is an enamel gradient diamond phoenix tail brooch donated free of charge by Mr. Song Ci. The starting price is 1 million yuan."
"1.2 million!" Fan Bingbing, who had been keeping a low profile in the audience throughout the entire event, took the lead and was the first to raise the sign.
"1.3 million!" Seeing this, Li Bingbing, who was sitting at the same table, was not willing to be outdone and immediately followed suit.
The two sides went back and forth, and the bidding cards frequently rose and fell in their hands.
Others looked at the tense situation and had no chance to intervene, but in just a few moments, the auction price was raised to 2 million.
The guests at the scene looked at each other in surprise and exclaimed in amazement. The "war" between the young actresses had just stopped, and now the big actresses are going to have another "fight"!
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that tonight's charity event was truly wonderful.
At the round table, Fan Bingbing was in full control of his thoughts, with a smile on his delicate face.
Her team has been preparing for tonight for a long time, waiting to make a splash today and continue her popularity which has been declining slightly since "My Love from the Star".
Just now, she was overshadowed by the two little girls. Now that the finale is on stage, she must create one or two hot topics. Her team is still waiting for the press release.
Li Bingbing was confused. She felt that Fan Bingbing was a little abnormal today. She kept glancing at her from time to time, which made her feel uncomfortable. She was unusually quiet before, but now she was too loud.
After a dispute between the two, Li Bingbing chose to give in and let Fan Bingbing buy the enamel brooch at a high price of 3 million.
On the award ceremony stage, compared to the previous speaker Liu Shishi, who was immature and a little nervous, Fan Bingbing spoke fluently.
She handled questions and answers with ease, and looked so confident, as if the stage beneath her feet was her exclusive territory.
Fan Bingbing talked animatedly with the microphone in hand, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on her bright and beautiful face.
Her red lips parted slightly, her voice was gentle but somewhat deliberate: "Finally, I made a special decision. I want to return this enamel brooch to its original owner and give it back to Mr. Song."
After saying that, he looked towards table number two with a smile, "I am very grateful to Mr. Song for creating My Love from the Star. That drama gave me so many wonderful memories. I sincerely hope that I will have the opportunity to act in another drama created by Mr. Song in the future, and continue the wonderful performance on the screen."
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar, their eyes shifting back and forth between Fan Bingbing and Song Ci. They secretly wondered, this big star spent 3 million, but sent the item back and spoke to him in a very intimate manner, could it be that he wanted to pursue Song Ci?
Song Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and was also very surprised. He didn't expect Fan Bingbing to drag him into this again. He took the microphone that the staff ran over and pondered for a moment:
"Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Fan. However, this brooch was originally a gift from my girlfriend. Since I have put it up for charity auction, there is absolutely no reason for me to take it back. And the key point is..."
At this point, Song Ci paused slightly, keeping the audience in suspense, and swept his eyes across the audience. When he passed by Liu Shishi, he stayed there for a second or two without leaving a trace, then smiled and said, "The key is that my girlfriend loves to be jealous!"
When his deskmates Chen Guojun and Liu Jiang learned that Liu Shishi was Song Ci's girlfriend, they burst into laughter and led the applause.
"That's a shame, but women should be more gracious and generous."
Fan Bingbing pretended to be disappointed and sighed, but she actually looked like she was jealous of Song Ci.
When Liu Shishi heard Song Ci's teasing, she gritted her teeth and said, "Song Yiyi, I'll take care of you when I get home."
Then he heard Fan Bingbing's teasing words, and he felt angry and jealous. He clenched his fists and cursed, "Fox spirit!"
