Chapter 463: Seeking Good Luck
Boss Yang said, secretly observing Shen Ci's reaction.
Seeing that she didn't show any unnecessary emotion, he continued, "His son is also very talented. After graduation, he joined Rui'an and within a year, he negotiated a large cooperation agreement worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."
"Of course, the scale of new energy projects is not small, but what Uncle Yang wants to express is that Uncle Fei, whether he himself or his son, is very outstanding. In this respect, they are very similar to you and your mother."
Shen Ci listened to Uncle Yang's words and looked at his mother who was chatting with Uncle Fei not far away.
It happened that Uncle Fei seemed to have said something funny, and my mother covered her mouth with her hands and smiled brightly.
Chen Ci nodded gently: "In that case, let's observe first, but I know my mother. She hasn't started a new relationship in all these years. I'm afraid she has more thoughts in her heart than us children."
Seeing Shen Ci let go, Boss Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief for his good friend.
"How this situation develops depends on them." Boss Yang said cheerfully, "Being difficult to pursue has its advantages. Mr. Fei is a man who can withstand the test."
Shen Ci smiled but said nothing.
As a man, who wouldn't be overwhelmed when they like someone? But she didn't comment on how long this impulse of love could last.
But she always felt that the essence of love is a consumable and non-renewable resource. Everyone's love is limited and will be gone once it is used up. It's just that some people get more and some get less.
Li Wanchang was chatting and laughing with his friends, but Mrs. Li beside him couldn't help but observe what was going on in Shen Ci's side.
Seeing Director Fei and Shen Jingjing chatting happily alone, she couldn't help but secretly poke her husband: "Husband, look quickly, there must be something going on between Director Fei and Shen Ci's mother."
Li Wanchang glanced over, his brow furrowing in frustration. He calmly grasped his wife's hand and whispered a warning, "This has nothing to do with us. Mind your own business."
"How can it be unrelated? If these two are really together, then Chen Ci..."
Before he could finish his words, he was shut up by Li Wanchang's angry glare.
The more time went by, the more resentful Li Wanchang became towards his wife. If she hadn't insisted on interfering in their son's relationship and forcing them to break up, the two wouldn't be as incompatible as they are today.
If Xiaozi and Shen Ci hadn't broken up, then now...
Unfortunately, there is no if.
The dinner lasted about an hour. When everyone was almost done eating, drinking and chatting, the host walked onto the stage again. The bright lights on the stage came on, forming a sharp contrast with the warm ambient lights in the hall.
"Dear guests, the event is about to enter its next climax. I believe that old friends who have participated in Jiangdong Charity Events will be familiar with this. Next, I will introduce the next key aspects to new friends who are attending the event for the first time."
The event entered its climax, which was also the most important part of the foundation’s fundraising - the charity auction!
The people in the audience listened to the host introduce the process of the event, and Shen Ci said to her mother: "Mom, if there is anything you like, just bid for it. Anyway, the money spent will be donated to the foundation as charity. Just think of it as a good deed, don't worry about the money."
This was Shen Jingjing's first time participating in this kind of charity auction, and she had no idea what items would appear next.
"Let's take a look first. I don't know what good things there might be."
Su Zheyuan, who was standing by, played with the number plate in his hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, charity auctions mostly feature small, meaningful items. They're quite different from regular auctions, so there aren't any antiques or anything like that."
Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding, and saw that the first item had been pushed onto the stage.
It is a piece of calligraphy with four words written on it: God rewards hard work.
The characters flowed smoothly and were very free and easy.
The host introduced: "Today's first lot is a calligraphy work by the well-known artist Mr. Lü Qiang..."
As soon as the host opened his mouth to introduce the host, Ji Chuhe, who was sitting below, couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered, "Old pervert!"
That’s right, this calligraphy was written by Mr. Lu Qiang from the same crew.
Although Lu Qiang was not present today, his calligraphy and paintings are very popular in China. The market price generally ranges from a dozen to several dozen yuan, and the highest price was even over a hundred yuan at auction.
In addition to being well-known as an actor in the country, he is also a very famous calligraphy master.
Sister Kuan noticed Ji Chuhe's reaction and patted her hand calmly. She had heard about Lu Qiang's affairs a long time ago, so she had already told Ji Chuhe to take good care of A Li.
Ji Chuhe said to Sister Kuan, "Someone is auctioning this kind of scumbag's stuff for a high price. They're not afraid of bringing bad luck. It's so dirty."
Sister Kuan shook her head slightly, signaling Ji Chuhe to be careful with her words and actions.
After all, Lu Qiang is a big shot in the entertainment industry. If these words were accidentally heard by someone with ulterior motives and reached Lu Qiang's ears, Ji Chuhe would be in big trouble.
Ji Chuhe understood it in his heart, but he just couldn't help but complain.
While he was speaking, the calligraphy was bought for 78 yuan, and applause broke out in the audience.
The second lot was then put on stage. When the red silk covering it was lifted, two imperial green bracelets with plenty of water came into view.
"Next, the second lot is a top-grade imperial green jadeite from the Wushan Jadeite Mine of Jiangdong Group..."
As soon as the bracelet appeared, the eyes of all the ladies present lit up.
The texture of the bracelet is extremely moist and transparent, and you can tell with the naked eye that it is not an ordinary item.
Sure enough, when the host announced the starting price of "four hundred yuan", everyone's reaction was very calm, because most upper-class people understood jade and knew that this thing would definitely not be cheap.
"Mom, this is good. Let's take this."
Before the bidding started, Shen Ci spoke as if the item was already in their pockets.
Mainly because she bought a lot of jewelry for her mother, including gold, platinum, and diamonds, and of course her mother's favorite pearls, but the only thing missing was jade.
Because Chen Ci didn't understand, and there were many tricks in jadeite, it was easy to be deceived, so she never bought any for her mother.
But the jade that appeared at the Jiangdong Charity Auction today must be excellent, so she can buy it with confidence.
So, just as the others were bidding twenty or thirty yuan, and after several rounds, they finally shouted out the bracelet for five hundred yuan, Shen Ci slowly raised his number plate: "Eight hundred and eight!"
This light sound attracted everyone present to look in the direction of the sound. They saw Shen Ci sitting in his seat calmly, smiling and looking at everyone, saying, "For good luck!"
