Chapter 176 Attending Activities (Part 3)
It was only when Ronaldinho introduced him that Eggsy remembered who the handsome guy in front of him was. That guy was David Beckham.
However, when the legendary Real Madrid midfielder was mentioned, Eggsy still put on a smile and took the initiative to stand next to Ronaldo. After Ronaldo introduced himself, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Hello."
Beckham laughed at this time, and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Eggsy seriously: "Well, I would rather you call me 'senior'."
David looked at Eggsy with a smile, and then said: "Real Madrid always has a kind of magic that can bring together the people who play there." At this point he looked at Ronaldo next to him and said: "Sometimes your teammates are always the first to find you in the crowd."
Da Luo laughed and said, "I can't help it. It's because I'm used to looking for you in the crowd."
After that, the two of them laughed and joked with each other. Eggsy stood aside with a smile, watching the two old teammates joking, and he couldn't help laughing himself.
However, the two of them did not leave Eggsy aside. Beckham even chatted with Eggsy and asked about the recent situation of Real Madrid. The three of them stood together and burst into laughter from time to time because of some funny things that happened during normal training.
Such laughter quickly attracted others. Both Beckham and Eggsy were now the darlings of the major media. Beckham was a veteran handsome guy, while Eggsy was a new young star. Together with Ronaldinho, the superstar, the three of them easily attracted others' attention. Unfortunately, they were not able to get in.
"Dada." A soft voice suddenly sounded from beside Eggsy's legs. The three of them looked down and saw a chubby little girl in a pink skirt. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Beckham, saying, "I'm sleepy..."
"Oh!" Ronaldinho felt like he was melted by Beckham's daughter. Then he couldn't help but think of his own marriage, family and children. He couldn't help but envy such a lovely daughter.
Bellham immediately became a daughter slave. When he heard Xiaoqi said she was sleepy, he quickly picked her up and let her sleep on his shoulders while hugging his neck. Xiaoqi was really sleepy, and soon she lay on her father's shoulder. Her chubby little face was bulging because of being pressed, and she was drooling.
Beckham's high-end clothes must be expensive, but he saw his daughter sleeping soundly and was reluctant to move her. Eggsy smiled and took a clean and soft tissue to gently wipe the drooling Harper.
But it is undeniable that the three people who were talking so enthusiastically just now immediately lowered their voices. At this time, the most important part of the charity banquet, the prize redemption, also began. They even invited the ambassador of the charity organization to announce today's winning numbers.
“…Congratulations to the first two guests who won the second prize,” the host was an Oscar-winning screen queen. Her smile on the stage was as dazzling as a diamond. She smiled and said to the two guests who had just won the prize, “You can drive the latest sports cars home tonight. Oh, don’t worry, these are special editions sponsored by the two sports car companies. They are worth collecting.”
The audience laughed, and then the actress continued: "Now it's the first prize we are most looking forward to, the grand prize of 50 million."
"Don't worry, this is the bonus that the charity fund has accumulated over the past few years. Of course, the winner can choose to donate it directly as a charity donation, or buy the charity items brought by everyone later. This will be your own choice."
Now everyone knows that although 50 million is the first prize, it will eventually return to the charity organization. However, you can use the 50 million to purchase charity items brought by all the guests today, which is also the best prize for the first prize.
In fact, there are many wealthy people present with a net worth of over 100 million yuan. They don’t care much about this unexpected wealth. The charity foundation hopes that the money raised from the sale of items can help more people, which is what everyone is happy to see.
Eggsy was discussing with Ronaldo what delicious food was on the cold buffet table at the corner. Ronaldo was trying his best to recommend several kinds of lobster jelly, salmon, etc. To put it bluntly, these two didn't care about winning or not. Even Beckham thought it was too noisy here and took his daughter Xiaoqi to the lounge to let him sleep well.
"06, 09, 18, 27, 31." These five numbers were randomly drawn on the big screen at the banquet. Everyone looked at the lottery tickets in their hands intentionally or unintentionally, but without exception, they all smiled regretfully and looked around, trying to find the lucky one.
At this time, Eggsy was tasting the delicious food on his plate. He was called several times on the stage but he didn't react to look at his lottery ticket. Instead, he kept thinking that the lobster jelly in his mouth didn't taste very good, so he decided to get some more later.
It was not until the eighth time that no one came up that the female host realized that the other party really didn't care, so she asked the staff to check the number of the lottery ticket, hoping to find out who had received it at that time.
As a result, when Eggsy was struggling with the sixth piece of lobster jelly and avocado salmon, suddenly a beam of light shone down and gave Eggsy a close-up within a close-up!
"Huh?" Eggsy looked up, and when he turned around, everyone noticed that he was holding a silver fork in his hand, his mouth was full of lobster jelly, and his cheeks were bulging like a hamster. All the guests couldn't help laughing.
Of course, this is a kind smile. Eggsy is really cute like this~
"Eggsy?" The female host couldn't help but laugh, then waved at him and said, "Look at your lottery ticket now."
Eggsy was still realizing what was happening at this time. He put down the plate in his hand in a hurry, while his other hand took out a lottery ticket from his trouser pocket. Maybe because he felt that he was too slow, Ronaldinho next to him couldn't help but take the lottery ticket that Eggsy had just taken out, just took a look at it and then held it high.
"It's Eggsy!" Ronaldinho shouted excitedly, "It's him, that's right!"
“Oh~~”
"Congratulations!"
At this time, the applause continued to ring out. Eggsy hadn't swallowed the lobster jelly in his mouth yet, and then he realized what he had eaten. So after putting down the plate, he covered his mouth and chewed it quickly. The people on the stage and in the audience looked at him and couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't choke."
Eggsy almost burst out laughing at this. He quickly covered his mouth and finished eating before going on stage. The female host held the microphone and asked Eggsy, "Well, are you done eating?"
There was another round of laughter from the audience, and Eggsy blushed in embarrassment. After he completely swallowed the food in his mouth, he responded to the teasing: "Well, I suggest you try this lobster jelly, it's really good."
Everyone laughed, especially those who were closer to the table, who immediately took a look at the lobster jelly. Ronaldinho on the side was even more direct. He picked up a piece, forked it with a fork and put it in his mouth, and then actually raised a thumbs up to Eggsy.
This interaction really made everyone on and off the stage laugh, and the host also asked Eggsy with a smile: "What are you going to do with the 50 million you won?"
Eggsy thought for a moment and said, "Of course I want to donate, but I heard that I can also buy some good things tonight, so I'll wait and see." The host was expecting Eggsy to say this, so he followed Eggsy's words and announced the start of the charity auction.
Eggsy walked down from the stage with a smile, still feeling scared. He had to rely on his reaction to speak on stage, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say. After that, Eggsy kept an eye on the auction. Many of the items auctioned that night were artworks, clothing, gems, and calligraphy and paintings.
Eggsy was not interested in any of these things. He didn't even have a house to buy, so how could he afford to buy these things? So until the end of the auction, Eggsy was unable to spend the 50 million. In the end, he could only ask the staff how to make the donation.
"It's definitely not possible tonight." The staff member's response was also very direct. He said to Eggsy: "If you really want to donate it, we will have to hold a donation ceremony for you in the middle of the night. After all, 50 million is not a small amount."
Eggsy thought about it and nodded, but then asked, "But I will be leaving in the afternoon of tomorrow. Will it be too late?"
"That's okay. We can go to your place to hold the donation and it won't cause any trouble for you."
After receiving such a reply, Eggsy finally felt relieved. To be honest, he was a little nervous holding the money in his hands, and he always felt that his luck in winning the first prize would not always favor him. So Eggsy didn't even wait until the banquet was completely over, and said hello to Beckham and Ronaldo and prepared to go back to the hotel.
However, as soon as he came out, many media waiting at the door already knew that Eggsy had won the lottery. The microphones were directly put to Eggsy's mouth, hoping that he could express his feelings or opinions, but without exception, Eggsy just left with a polite smile without saying a word.
The bodyguard who had received Eggsy's message a long time ago was already waiting for him at the door in a Mercedes-Benz. Eggsy got into the car directly under the escort of the bodyguard, and the Mercedes-Benz disappeared into the night of Paris.
Feeling extremely tired as soon as he got in the car, Eggsy took a deep breath. He squinted his eyes slightly and loosened his bow tie, but accidentally saw the driver in front looking at him through the rearview mirror.
Eggsy: ?
He felt a little strange, and just as he was about to say something, he found that the bodyguard who was supposed to sit in the co-pilot seat was actually sitting next to him. This made Eggsy a little strange. But he just looked down a little and found that the bodyguard sitting next to him seemed to be holding something in his hand...
Is it... a rope?
The next second, Eggsy's mouth was suddenly covered by the bodyguard next to him. The sudden attack made Eggsy unable to react at all. He was pinned down by the bodyguard, and his hands were twisted behind his back!
Eggsy was pressed on the back seat and kept kicking the other person. The next second, he heard the other person screaming in pain! But the next second, he was punched in the face by the other person. The burning pain spread from Eggsy's face, and his hand that was left behind was tied up by the other person with a rope.
"Where's the money?" The other party kept groping in Eggsy's dress pockets and inner pockets: "Where's the money! Where's the 50 million!!"
