Upon hearing this, even though his older brother sitting next to him didn't say anything, he instantly felt the air around him grow colder.
So, he wisely shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
At this point, the host went on stage to announce the official start of the charity gala, and then invited Fu Shiqin to the stage to give a speech.
Fu Shiqin straightened his suit and went on stage to explain the various measures taken by the Huaxia Chang'an Charity Foundation in recent years for medical care and education in remote and underdeveloped areas of China. He then thanked those who have supported Huaxia Chang'an and all the guests present that evening.
Then, it was announced that the first part of tonight's charity dinner, the auction, had officially begun.
The first item up for auction was a pair of Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain vases depicting landscapes, with a starting bid of 200,000 yuan.
After a bidding war, it was sold for 800,000.
The next few items auctioned off were all antiques, and the prices kept getting higher and higher.
An antique from the Ming Dynasty started at 500,000 yuan and sold for 2 million yuan.
Gu Weiwei symbolically raised the sign a few times, but did not ultimately buy it.
Fu Shiyi was so sleepy watching that he yawned and complained.
"The so-called charity auction is actually just a large-scale display of wealth."
They were all competing to see who had the most money, and they ended up buying everything.
“This is an auction to raise funds for charity. If you complain again, I’ll make you donate tens of millions, believe me or not?” Fu Shiqin muttered under his breath.
He doesn't care about any grand displays of wealth; as long as the foundation raises enough funds, this year's charity gala will be a success.
In the future, this will also help more children in remote areas receive better education and have better medical care.
Although the Fu family is one of the top financial families in China, they have been doing charity work for generations and have never slacked off.
Fu Shiyi immediately shut his mouth. His hard-earned money was hard-earned, and he would feel bad if he donated too much.
The auction continued while they chatted.
Corliss purchased a contemporary oil painting, "Homecoming," for eight million dollars.
Then, the host invited Corliss to the stage to give a speech and accept the auction items.
At the same time, it was announced that Gu Weiwei would go on stage to present the auction items to Ke Lisi.
Corliss stood on the stage, her expression momentarily awkward, clearly indicating that she didn't want to share the stage or be in the same frame as her again.
However, in such a situation, she had no choice but to accept.
When Gu Weiwei heard the host call her name, she glanced in Fu Hanzheng's direction.
She said, "Why invite her to such an event? It's not that inviting her to a charity gala is a pretense; the real reason is to have her attack Corliss."
Around that day, I heard that Corliss had released a press release that belittled her.
She hadn't even taken it to heart yet, but he was already getting impatient.
Guided by the host, Corliss delivered a speech about charity, expressing her intention to use her influence as an artist to do her best to help more people in the future.
His words drew waves of applause from the audience.
Gu Weiwei gracefully walked onto the stage, lifted her evening gown, politely hugged Ke Lisi, and received the oil painting from the emcee, presenting it to Ke Lisi.
"Both Ms. Corliss and Ms. Mu are well-known actresses in China. Thank you for your generosity, Ms. Corliss, and thank you for attending today's charity gala, Ms. Mu. It is said that... you haven't appeared on any shows for over a year and have completely stopped working," the host asked with a smile.
Gu Weiwei chuckled softly, "I have indeed been slacking off at work over the past year or so, because I've been moving too fast on this path and have lost my way a bit. So I want to take some time to reflect and make a better film."
However, this is not the case.
However, she couldn't possibly tell the public that she had spent the past year or so having a baby.
