79 Chapter 79

Zhang Li didn't expect that Xu Fei would also come to participate in this charity gala.
She followed her sister Xu Yun and sat at a table a little further back.
But it was normal when you thought about it. After all, the Li Shang Magazine controlled by Xu Yun was targeted by Pei Yuanzhi at that time, and it was Zhang Li who sent Wan Cheng's people to save the situation. Not only did he acquire part of the other party's shares, but he also facilitated the cooperation between Li Shang Magazine and Xuan Huang.
Xuanhuang is hosting this charity gala, and Li Shang Magazine is naturally on the invitation list.

Xu Fei had been thinking about meeting her idol this time and was very excited. Although she felt a little angry when she saw Liu Qingran was arranged to sit at the same table with her idol, after all, she knew about the relationship between Liu Qingran and Zhang Li, but after so long, she had almost let it go.
Seeing her idol sitting next to the main seat, and even Wan Cheng's manager treating her with such respect, while Liu Qingran was just a companion, the anger in her heart was temporarily suppressed.
She had thought the party would go smoothly, and she could ignore Liu Qingran, but as luck would have it, not only did Liu Qingran come herself, she also brought her so-called mother. She was called a mother, but in reality, it was only her adoptive mother, her idol's true biological mother!
The most important thing is that this woman is extremely biased. In front of her own daughter who was kicked out of the house and her idol, she not only took pictures of the jewelry donated by Liu Qingran, but also returned the jewelry to Liu Qingran in person in order to deliberately disgust her idol, showing her "deep mother-daughter love" with Liu Qingran.
From the angle Xu Fei was sitting, he could clearly see how Xifen looked at Zhang Li coldly!
When she heard the host's praise on stage, she found it so ironic that she wanted to laugh.
So, in order to outbid Liu Qingran, Xu Fei took the number plate from his sister without hesitation and directly bid: "Five million one hundred thousand!"
Isn't that woman just holding on to a fake daughter? She's going to put Liu Qingran under her idol's feet! Let her know that her idol doesn't need a real mother like her, and naturally someone will stand up for her!
Her shout drew surprised looks from everyone around her.
With the help of Xuanhuang and its own solid foundation, Li Shang Magazine has stood out in the domestic magazine industry. Although Xu Yun and Xu Fei sat in the back low-key, there were still many people around who knew them.
Some bosses and artists nodded to Xu Yun.
Xu Yun did not blame his sister for bidding for the license plate. Although more than five million was not something their family could easily spend, if it was used to support Miss Zhang Li, she would be willing to spend an extra five million.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Li, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head when he heard this voice.
Xu Fei originally wanted to stand up for her idol, but when her eyes met Zhang Li's, the annoyance was instantly forgotten.
Especially when she saw her idol looking at her and revealing a doting smile, Xu Fei even forgot her last name and rocked excitedly on her chair with the sign in her hand.
If Xu Yun hadn't pulled her back, she would have almost stood up.
The people around immediately understood what was going on and smiled.
Wu Heng and Yu Feiyu next to Zhang Li also recognized the two sisters, or to be more precise, recognized Xu Yun, and nodded to her.
Everyone thought that since this 'little fan' had shown her behavior so obviously, they should just give in to her.
However, Fu Haijing, who was sitting at the same table with Xifen, discovered that Xifen's face instantly turned ugly when she heard that "little fan" deliberately said "five million and one hundred thousand".
She also understood that this Madam Liu obviously looked down on Zhang Li.
Fu Haijing was used to weighing the pros and cons, but Zhang Li came to her rescue without hesitation, which made her always grateful. If it were someone else, she would have hesitated whether it was worthwhile to offend Mrs. Liu for the other person, but this person was Zhang Li.
Her gaze swept across Xifen's face like flowing water, and she raised the sign without hesitation.
"Five million and two hundred thousand!"
This was the first time she bid the entire evening.
Everyone's attention shifted to her again. They didn't expect that after donating a trophy, she would also participate in the auction.
Fu Haijing's words instantly 'woke up' those who were hesitant.
Yes, Zhang Li can almost "represent" Wan Cheng now. Bidding for her donations is just to give Wan Cheng face, right?
Then, the sound of bidding came one after another from all directions.
"Five million three hundred thousand!"
"Five and a half million!"
"Five million eight hundred thousand!"
"Six million!..."
Everyone started to chase after him, and the scene was suddenly as lively as a vegetable market.
Seeing Xifen's face getting darker and darker, Fu Haijing silently curled the corners of her mouth, which was noticed by Su Jinshu, who found it abnormal and was silently paying attention to his wife.
So, when the bidding rose to nine million, he also stepped in to add fuel to the fire.
"Ten million!"
When the big boss sitting at the main table speaks, the others will start to back off.
Xu Fei subconsciously wanted to add something, but Xu Yun stopped her and explained the unspoken rules to her.
After listening to his sister's explanation, Xu Fei could only pout slightly in disappointment and give up.
However, when she thought that her idol's donation was twice as much as Liu Qingran's, she became happy again.
Wouldn't that old woman surnamed Xi be pissed off to death?!
This was indeed the case. When Xifen heard that these people were competing for the price of a pink diamond that was not worth that much, she became angry and regretful.
What she regretted was that she should have bid a higher price when bidding for her precious daughter's item just now.
But she didn't expect that a pink diamond that was obviously worth the same as the jewelry donated by Qingran would be priced at tens of millions!
The point is that the price chase has not stopped yet.
After seeing Su Jinshu shout out 10 million, the president of Yichang Media did not hesitate and raised his sign, saying, "Eleven million!"
Su Jinshu glanced at him and raised the sign again: "Twelve million!"
Yu Feiyu, who was standing nearby, noticed that the two were about to spark a heated debate and quickly intervened, "Fifteen million!"
Seeing him take action, the two men indeed stopped.
Just when everyone thought that the bidding had stopped there, Wu Heng gave Yu Feiyu an apologetic smile.
"Twenty million!"
This bid is almost twenty times higher than the actual value of this pink diamond.
As soon as Wu Heng makes a move, you will know whether it is effective or not.
Although he is just a manager, he represents Wancheng.
Sure enough, everyone calmed down.
But once they 'calmed down', they weren't so calm anymore.
"Twenty million! It's really a lavish expense."
"It has to be Miss Zhang Li."
"Tens of millions is nothing to Wancheng. Back when he invested in Lingman and Suoyun, he poured hundreds of millions into it."
"How can it be the same? At least Lingman and Suo Yun's value is there..."
This pink diamond is not a rare treasure, and 20 million is equivalent to throwing it all away.
Xifen listened to what the people around her said. No one pointed out the relationship between Zhang Li and Wan Cheng, but to her, it sounded so harsh.
Her face was dark and gloomy, and the look she gave Zhang Li was as if she wanted to bury her.
The more Fu Haijing looked, the more she felt something was wrong. She wondered if this woman had such a deep grudge against Zhang Li?
Just as she was about to ponder, the host interrupted: "Okay, 20 million once, 20 million twice... 20 million deal!"
"Thank you to our Miss Zhang Li for the donation, and Wancheng's manager, Mr. Wu Heng, for bidding 20 million!"
There was applause at the table.
After the auction, the party was not over yet, and Xuan Huang arranged a food and beverage session to thank everyone.
Similarly, this is also equivalent to the banquet session.
Previously, there were only some appetizers or desserts and fruits on the table, but now the main course is about to begin.
However, most of the people present had their minds elsewhere. After quickly eating a few bites to fill their stomachs, they started socializing.
As the person in charge of Xuanhuang, Huang Xun must fulfill his duties as a host. After signaling to Zhang Li and Wu Heng, he took a few managers to other tables to toast.
Zhang Li, Wu Heng and others remained seated, but after Huang Xun toasted, the guests at the table subconsciously walked towards their main table.
Zhang Li doesn't drink, so Wu Heng, Yu Feiyu, Su Jinshu and President Yichang are at a loss as to what to do.
Although they only took a sip each time, since there were so many people toasting them, they ended up drinking a bit too much.
It was just Zhang Li sitting here, and they seemed very restrained from beginning to end.
Zhang Li hardly said a word, and Liu Qingran, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, was also silent.
Until an unexpected person arrived at the main table.
-
When Xu Fei followed Xu Yun to greet the people at the main table, the happiness on his face was obvious.
Xu Yun's sister was much calmer. She came up and toasted Zhang Li first. After seeing that Wu Heng showed no abnormality, she was completely relieved and toasted him, Yu Feiyu and the other three giants one by one.
Seeing Su Jinshu and CEO Yichang looking at Xu Fei with curiosity, she quickly introduced: "This is my sister, Xu Fei."
Xu Fei gave them a standard fake smile, but when it came to Zhang Li, it was completely different.
She suppressed her uncontrollable smile: "Lili..."
Although she is usually impetuous, she is as obedient as a little lamb in front of Zhang Li.
Seeing her twitching her fingers a little awkwardly, Zhang Li took the initiative to smile and extend his hand towards her, "Fei Fei, you're here too."
Xu Fei almost couldn't wait to hold his idol's hand, his eyes shining.
Zhang Li took the opportunity to glance at Yu Feiyu.
Yu Feiyu received the hint and very cleverly sat to the other side, leaving two seats empty.
Zhang Li took the opportunity to pull Xu Fei to sit next to him.
When Mr. Yichang, the boss on the opposite side, saw this scene, he was even more shocked and became more convinced of the idea that Zhang Li was Wancheng's "main wife".
Xu Yun also noticed this scene and was a little surprised and confused.
It was not until she was invited by Zhang Li to sit between Xu Fei and Yu Feiyu that she noticed Liu Qingran was also sitting at the table.
Liu Qingran was now the spokesperson for Xuan Huang, so Xu Yun didn't want to isolate her. He nodded and said, "Miss Liu."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said hello, but as soon as she did, Xu Fei, who had been focusing on Zhang Li, turned around instantly.
"Sister, why are you greeting her?! She's just a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest..."
Xu Fei didn't say the rest of the words because she was reluctant to part with Zhang Li. The hand she was still holding with Zhang Li felt tighten. It was Zhang Li who was hinting to her.
Xu Fei stopped talking, but Xu Yun was almost frightened by his sister's outspokenness.
Liu Qingran looked at Xu Fei's contemptuous eyes, her mind went blank and her breathing stopped.
Yu Feiyu, who was standing next to him, felt as if he had grasped something. "What do you mean by robbing the magpie's nest?"
No one noticed that Xifen at the next table walked over when she saw the Xu Fei sisters appear, and just happened to hear Yu Feiyu's words without lowering his voice.
Her pupils constricted instantly.
