The host, with a comical expression, counted the checks and said with a laugh.
"I counted it, one 27 zeros, that's 20 million."
Corliss's smile froze for a moment, then she joined in the applause.
"Miss Mu is so generous."
I thought that she would donate at most one or two million yuan without bidding, but I didn't expect that she had quietly donated 20 million yuan.
The host handed the check to the emcee and asked with a smile.
"Miss Ke, Miss Mu has already been so generous, wouldn't you like to be even more generous?"
They donated 20 million yuan as soon as they arrived, and you spent 8 million yuan to bid on an oil painting. Where does your sense of superiority and aggressive attitude come from?
Corliss gave a dry laugh, "I'll support you again next time I have the chance."
She put up eight million in the auction, partly for the sake of her public image.
However, donating 20 million to charity would be a bit foolish; she's not that generous.
The host didn't press the issue further and instead shifted the topic to Gu Weiwei.
"As far as I know, Weiwei supported the charity industry with her family before she entered the industry. After making the movie, she continued to do charity quietly, building eleven primary schools and three township hospitals."
"Actually, Huaxia Chang'an has always wanted Weiwei to be their spokesperson, but your whereabouts have been too mysterious for more than a year, and we can't contact you. Your agent also refused."
"So, I would like to ask again, would you still have the honor of being the spokesperson for Chang'an, the capital of China?"
"Of course, I'd agree to do something for free," Gu Weiwei replied with a smile.
Upon hearing her agree, the host immediately called out to Fu Shiqin, who was sitting in the audience.
"Second Young Master, as the president of the Huaxia Chang'an Foundation, do you agree to this?"
“Of course I agree a hundredfold,” Fu Shiqin stood up and said loudly.
"Okay, it's settled then. Weiwei, from now on you will be the spokesperson for Chang'an, China, for life, for free. So many people heard that today," the host said with a smile.
Gu Weiwei nodded helplessly, "I'm honored."
The audience erupted in thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time before subsiding.
Chris stood awkwardly to the side, holding the oil painting she had won at auction.
But standing on the stage in front of so many people and cameras, I could only force a smile.
The intention was to embarrass Mu Weiwei, but it turned out that Mu Weiwei herself was in an awkward situation.
Originally, spending eight million to bid on a painting and promoting it properly could have earned him a good reputation.
She brought up Mu Weiwei to embarrass the other party and to show off her own abilities.
As a result, since Mu Weiwei donated 20 million yuan for free and became the spokesperson for Huaxia Chang'an for free, no one would care about her mere 8 million yuan.
The host's focus is now entirely on Mu Weiwei, leaving her standing on the stage in an awkward position, unsure whether to leave or stay.
In the audience, Fu Shiqin smiled smugly.
"Sister-in-law, you're being too generous."
If it weren't for Corliss's outburst, she would have quietly donated those 20 million.
Most celebrities, when they donate a few hundred thousand or a few million, would love to publicize it so that everyone knows they've done charity work.
However, she arrived without saying a word and immediately left 20 million there.
"My sister-in-law never intended to show off; it was all you guys who pushed her to the top," Fu Shiyi snorted.
She was simply invited by her older brother to attend the charity gala, and then quietly donated some money; she had no intention of publicizing it or letting anyone know.
As a result, after Corliss made such a fuss, everyone knew about it.
