Chapter 458: Playing games?
The host delivered an opening speech on the stage, which basically thanked the heavyweights in the business and entertainment circles for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend tonight's charity dinner, as well as the schedule of tonight's dinner.
Finally, a brief summary of the charity events that the foundation did last year was given.
The main public welfare areas of Jiangdong Charity Foundation include Hope Primary Schools, scholarship funds for outstanding poor students, youth autism care projects, medical funding for rare diseases, and reconstruction assistance for natural disaster areas, etc.
In short, wherever help is needed, you can basically see the presence of Jiangdong Charity Foundation.
Su Zheyuan brought his secretary Xiao Gao, or today it should be said his female companion Xiao Gao, and sat next to Shen Ci.
The two had just greeted each other, but unexpectedly they were arranged to sit together again. Su Zheyuan said happily: "What a coincidence, Miss Shen, I was just hoping to sit with you."
"Why does Boss Su want to sit with me?"
"We are all the same age, so we can chat."
Su Zheyuan picked up the wine glass and was about to drink when Xiao Gao stopped him: "You can't drink yet."
Without waiting for his response, his hand was empty. The wine glass had been snatched away by Xiao Gao, and then a glass of juice was placed in front of him: "Drink this."
Su Zheyuan was not annoyed, but just curled his lips helplessly.
Seeing this, Shen Ci subconsciously cared: "Are you not well yet?"
"I think I'm better, but Xiao Gao and my mom don't think I'm better. They say it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone." He sighed helplessly, "Oh, women are troublesome."
After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at Shen Ci to explain: “Don’t misunderstand, Miss Shen, I specifically refer to Xiao Gao and my mother.”
Shen Ci shook his head and laughed, indicating that it was okay.
"I didn't fully understand Miss Shen's abilities before, but since you're here at Jiangdong Group's event today, Miss Shen, I have to give you a higher opinion." Su Zheyuan sat a little closer and picked up his juice. "I'll toast you. If there's a chance for us to work together in the future, I like working with straightforward people like you."
The Su family focuses on the hotel industry, ranging from luxury brands to high-end businesses to affordable chains.
Shen Ci had never been interested in the hotel industry, but Su Zheyuan was an interesting person, so she was willing to make friends with him.
"Sure. Boss Su, if you have any good projects, remember to bring me along. I love making money the most."
The two clinked their glasses and smiled at each other. Su Zheyuan added, "There's still a lot of time to come. I can even teach Miss Shen how to drive a go-kart."
Speaking of go-karts, Shen Ci remembered that he had just passed the junior driver's license test a while ago.
When Xiao Gao heard that Shen Ci had passed the junior driver's license in such a short time, and passed it on the first try, he couldn't help but praise her: "Miss Shen, you are really amazing. Our boss took the junior driver's license test seven times and crashed two junior racing cars in the club, which cost them a lot of money."
Su Zheyuan: “…”
A cold light shot over, Xiao Gao blinked innocently, then realized that this could not be said.
Chen Ci chuckled when he heard this: "It's really amazing that Boss Su has obtained a racing license now. He must have put in a lot of effort. With such perseverance, Boss Su will succeed in everything he does."
Su Zheyuan was happy to hear this, and a smug expression appeared on his face. But then he thought about it and felt something was wrong.
"Miss Shen, are you praising me? You're not scolding me?"
"Pure praise!" Shen Ci said quickly.
Su Zheyuan was relieved and smiled again. His reaction made Shen Ci happy from the bottom of her heart, and she felt that Boss Su was more interesting.
At this moment, the background music suddenly stopped, and the originally dim lights suddenly brightened. The host took the microphone and said excitedly: "Then, let's move on to the first part of our event: playing games!"
"Play games?" Shen Jingjing subconsciously looked at her daughter when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Aci, isn't this a charity event? Why do we have to play games?"
Shen Ci was also confused. After all, it was her first time here. Although she looked up some information, most of it was about the foundation, and she did not look at the activity information.
At this time, Boss Su plays the role of explanation.
He looked at the two of them and said, "Auntie, is this your first time here, Miss Shen? The Jiangdong Charity Foundation holds an event once a year, but it's not the kind of boring event where you just sit here, eat, drink, and hold up signs to donate. The first part is a variety of games to liven up the atmosphere."
"But it's not just about making games; it's about using games to donate money. I still remember the first game last year. Participants dressed up as rabbits and dribbled a ball from a box on one side of the stage to a box on the other. Oh wow, watching those business leaders and celebrities in suits squatting on the stage and imitating bunny hops was so hilarious. I almost died of laughter. It was so much fun."
Shen Jingjing's eyes widened in shock when she heard this. She looked around the scene. The men were all in suits and the women were all in evening gowns. They all looked very stylish. How could these people play such undignified games on stage?
"Is it still like this?" Shen Jingjing became interested and found it quite interesting.
Su Zheyuan had a completely insightful expression: "If it were any other occasion, everyone would definitely be pretentious and show off their status, but today is Jiangdong Group's charity event, who wouldn't want to cooperate? Actually, I'm happy to let go. I didn't get picked last year, and I still want to go up and play."
The way to participate in the event is by drawing lots.
After Su Zheyuan said this, Shen Ci became more interested in tonight's activities.
The host was explaining, "Our first game this year is called Eating Watermelon. I'll randomly draw five numbers from a number box. The guests whose numbers are drawn will come on stage, each with three slices of watermelon in front of them. The first person to finish will win."
"The winner will donate NT$50 to the foundation in their personal or company name. This donation is fully sponsored by Liuliumei, the brand behind the slogan 'Eat Liuliumei when you're free.' We thank our sponsor for this kind sponsorship."
This charity event also attracted a lot of sponsors.
"The game is simple. I'll just draw the numbers. There are two number boxes. To be fair, we'll separate the men and women, with women first!"
As he spoke, the host reached into the number box and drew out a number.
"Number 17, Mrs. Li of the Li Group!"
The next second, the spotlight in the venue accurately locked onto Mrs. Li, and the audience suddenly erupted in warm applause. Mrs. Li looked around before she stood up with her hand on her chest and a smile. Li Wanchang gave her an encouraging hug.
"Number 33, 'Jingjie' Housekeeping Cleaning Company, President Shen Jingjing!"
Shen Jingjing was still watching the fun, but she didn't expect that there would be a flash of light above her head, and the light covered her alone. She couldn't help but blink in surprise.
