"Remember to book a Chinese restaurant later." Li Hanting instructed the driver in front.
The driver kept his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart, driving steadily while not forgetting to respectfully respond to Li Hanting's instructions.
"Aren't you busy? Do you still have time to eat?" Xia Yunxi asked a question that spoiled the mood.
"No matter how busy you are, there is still time for meals." Li Hanting's eyes never left the documents on his lap.
Xia Yunxi didn't know how to respond to this, so she turned around and looked outside.
As the year draws to a close, people from all walks of life are busy coping with countless banquets and parties.
Some take the opportunity to strengthen relationships, others to summarize the achievements of the year, and of course more for the benefit of cooperation.
Xia Yunxi didn't understand the twists and turns here. Following Li Hanting, she only needed to be a quiet female companion, and decorations were not just talk.
There were many people at the auction, each of them was extremely powerful and wealthy, with a net worth of at least a few hundred million.
People like tens of millions or millions are not qualified to stand here at all.
Xia Yunxi didn't understand these things before she came, but after she arrived, she stood in the dining area and listened to what the noble ladies were talking about.
So-and-so is worth billions, owns dozens of sports cars, and has been to restaurants that offer more exquisite cuisine than banquets in the imperial palace...
If any of them could own a sports car, it would be worth dying for.
Xia Yunxi's forehead broke out in sweat as she listened. She didn't expect that these girls, who appeared dignified and elegant on the surface, actually had such... passionate and unrestrained admiration for the strong in their hearts!
At the same time, she couldn't help but think that Li Hanting was also a leader among the young people. He had money and good looks. If these women knew his identity, would they all pounce on him?
Thinking about that scene, Xia Yunxi couldn't help but burst out laughing. It felt very funny. What is the pursuit of life?
She couldn't understand it. It was like power. She had never tasted it and didn't know what it felt like.
Money is indeed good and can change the material life.
But I can’t understand why the lives of rich people are any different!
In fact, the life of ordinary people is to be content with what they have. Xia Yunxi does not have much burden and can support herself and her children. At present, her life plan has not been planned yet.
With her abilities, it’s not entirely true that she has no money, but she is not greedy.
It's good enough to just live in the present, without those girls who exude the smell of hormones, materialism, and blind worship.
I took a deep breath, and suddenly a low and hoarse voice came from the side: "Let's go, it's started."
Xia Yunxi turned around and found that Li Hanting had come to her side at some point. At that moment, the host's voice sounded from the ceremony stage.
"Welcome everyone to this charity gala... Now, please take your seats—"
Xia Yunxi raised her hand and held Li Hanting's arm. The lights in the center of the hall were deliberately dimmed. Xia Yunxi vaguely knew that this was done. She heard that it was to create such an atmosphere to hype up the rhythm that the charity wanted.
Xia Yunxi couldn't figure out the twists and turns inside.
After Li Hanting sat down in the front row, the host asked the etiquette lady in a warm tone to take out the first item for auction today.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a snuff bottle used by a concubine in the late Qing Dynasty, with a starting price of five figures.
Xia Yunxi couldn't help but secretly click her tongue when she heard this.
But even so, some people sitting in the back row actually held up signs to bid for the item.
Xia Yunxi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Is it because she has too much money and has no place to spend it?
Is it necessary to treasure something used by a dead person so much?
Well, actually she also likes antiques, but she likes bronze and porcelain. She thinks that kind of things can really show the wisdom of the ancients.
That is really comparable to modern technology.
"Do you like it?"
Feeling heat on her ears, Xia Yunxi stepped back suddenly, but she didn't expect to find a hand around her waist.
The man didn't allow her to make any move at all. With a little force, Xia Yunxi almost fell into his arms.
"Let go." She said softly.
A soft "Huh" sounded from above my head, and the strength in my waist loosened a little: "Do you like this?"
"I don't like it." Xia Yunxi said without thinking.
"Well, I don't like it either." The tone was full of disgust.
Xia Yunxi placed her hands on his chest. She raised her head, her clear eyes blazing with fire. "Can you let go?"
Li Hanting raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Not only did he not let go of his hand, but he moved it to Xia Yunxi's shoulder. With a little force, Xia Yunxi fell uncontrollably into his arms.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was clear that the two were in love, and they even showed off their affection at the auction.
Xia Yunxi secretly twisted his waist. The man gasped and muttered, "How cruel."
But he still had no intention of letting go.
But Xia Yunxi couldn't twist it at all, and she was so angry that she wanted to bite it a few times.
The muscles are too stiff and I can’t twist them!
Chirp--
The first and second sessions progressed very quickly. Apart from the snuff bottles from the Qing Dynasty that were first brought out, the rest were all calligraphy works by great masters and elegant writings by literati.
Even so, in order to keep up with the progress of the charity auction, many people still bid.
It can be said to be very lively, but there were no amazing products, nor any price gouging.
It can be said that everyone was happy throughout the whole event.
Li Hanting didn't auction anything, but his courage and generosity brought a lot of popularity to the auction.
The reason why many people brought their female companions here was mainly for Li Hanting's sake.
If we could cooperate with the Li Group in a business, the benefits it would bring to the family would be absolutely unpredictable.
Of course, everyone just needs to know the twists and turns involved.
No one will deliberately behave badly, say it out loud.
Time flies.
After attending the auction, Li Hanting took Xia Yunxi out for dinner. When they returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
The two little guys had already fallen asleep. Xia Yunxi went upstairs and opened the door of the two little guys' room. The room was pitch dark and the two little guys had already fallen into a deep sleep.
After taking a quick look, she turned around and went back to her room.
Thinking back on the whole day of going out with Li Hanting, Xia Yunxi felt a little confused about herself. She had clearly agreed to refuse, but when that person approached, her heart beat faster and she even had wild thoughts. That person was attractive enough that she couldn't resist him at all.
Xia Yunxi knew that such a thing was very dangerous, but she didn't know how to circumvent it, or even how to avoid it.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Xia Yunxi looked at herself. Actually, she was not the most beautiful, but she was attractive.
I am somewhat confident about my appearance.
But she would never attract a man to the point where he had to be with her, so Xia Yunxi couldn't tell whether Li Hanting's offensive was for the child or for something else.
