Gu Ran tiptoed to the door where the panting sound came from - there was a temporary sign on the door: Guest Performer.

There is also a warning sign hanging on the door handle that says "VIP is resting, please do not disturb."

Guest performers???

Oh, by the way, Mendes said that today’s charity dinner will start with a performance by a young star who has become quite popular in the music industry recently.

Who is the latest popular young singer in the music industry?

I feel like he must be a big star, otherwise how could he be worthy of all the legends and big names in the venue?

Just as Gu Ran was daydreaming, he heard bursts of panting and the sound of banging tables and chairs in the room.

It sounds like that's the case, but based on experience, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Suddenly, the panting female voice in the room shouted: "Ah! Why am I so unlucky! Who can come to save me! God, if someone can come to save me, I will do anything!"

It was confirmed that there was only one girl in the room, and she seemed to be trapped by something.

At times like this, you should just walk away quietly and not be involved in cause and effect.

But Gu Ran is a kind-hearted person.

And it concerns the guest performers at his charity dinner. Now the charity dinner is about to begin, and it would definitely be incomplete without the guest performers.

Besides, the girl has made a wish and can do anything. If you just stand by and watch, are you still a man? So, Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Miss? Are you in trouble? Do you need me to come in and help you?"

The girl in the room immediately said excitedly: "Oh God! Did you hear my call? Kind person, please come in quickly - wait wait! No, no, don't come in! Don't come in! Ah! It hurts..."

There was a flurry of crashing sounds in the room.

Holy shit…

What’s going on in there?

Why are you begging me to go in one moment and then begging me not to go in the next? Is it still painful? Are you driving here?

I'm a serious person and I don't understand what you are saying at all!

"Okay—I'll go in then."

Gu Ran turned the door handle and found that it was locked from the inside.

Oh? In an emergency, we must act decisively! Gu Ran raised his foot and kicked! Bang! The door was kicked open heavily!

The next moment, Gu Ran took a deep breath of cold air!

Oh my god! What a white back!

As white as glowing cream! The next moment, Gu Ran couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud! In the messy dressing room, a big-breasted girl wearing a sequined halter backless miniskirt performance costume was kneeling on the floor in a very funny posture, shivering all over, and hiding her head in the corner under the dressing table like an ostrich.

This is not the funniest thing. The funniest thing is that the girl's hands, waist and hips were stuck backwards on a cheap metal folding stool.

This is why she is trapped and struggling.

I guess it's because my butt is too big, so it went through the folding stool and got stuck.

As for the arm being stuck, it was probably because his butt was stuck and he was eager to use his hand to pull it out. As a result, his hand could not be pulled out after it was stuck. Then he used his other hand to pull it out in desperation. As a result, both hands were stuck and could not be pulled out.

To be able to do such a thing is really... too stupid...

As for why he stuck his head under the dressing table, it must be because he knew he was too stupid to face anyone, right?

No wonder he wants someone to rescue him, but doesn’t want anyone to rescue him.

By the way, is such a stupid girl really my guest performer? Who is she?

Such broad shoulders, such long legs, such plump hips, such a nice voice, such a silly and cute personality...

Could it be that she is? ? ? Who? Gu Ran's eyes suddenly lit up! He wanted to pull the performing actress' head out from under the dressing table to verify it.

The stupid female star asked in a trembling voice: "Have you, have you, have you... come in?"

Damn, this car is open, I came in or not, don’t you feel it? Gu Ran immediately cleared his throat, "Yes, I came in, I will... close the door first."

After all, it’s such a beautiful, no, such a funny scene, it’s enough for me to watch it alone.

"Oh, you are so thoughtful! Since you are here, please... help me." The female star pleaded in a crying voice.

Gu Ran looked left and right, "Miss, in your condition... I'm afraid it will be a bit painful next."

The female star gasped, "No, no, no, I'm afraid of the pain! Okay, okay, come on, come on, I'm about to perform, I can't delay the performance, I flew here for 10 hours overnight, I can't just fly back empty-handed without earning a penny! It's okay if it hurts, but you have to be gentle, don't let me bleed. Oh! This damn broken chair is so flimsy! I just wanted to take a nap on the chair to adjust to the jet lag, and this is what happened."

No need to explain. The fact that you can't even pull out both arms has already exposed your IQ.

Having said that, this female star is quite eloquent, she talks a lot and is extremely changeable.

No, it’s not necessarily a small mouth.

Judging from the shape of her buttocks that can fit through a folding stool, her mouth must be big.

Gu Ran suppressed his smile and walked behind the female star.

From this angle... you can see the empty side curves in the loose suspenders.

Gu Ran tried hard to move his eyes away.

However, my eyes were somewhat out of control.

Hey, I'm a football player, why do you always show me these?

The female star asked in a trembling voice: "Why don't you start yet?"

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "I'm looking for the angle."

"Oh, have you found it yet?"

"Yeah, about the same."

"Then please hurry up, the charity dinner is about to start, and I don't want to go on stage like this. I heard that many reporters from mainstream media came to the charity dinner today, and I don't want my singing career to be ruined like this! Hurry up!" The female star kept chattering.

"Don't worry, I'm always quick, it will be done in a moment." Gu Ran paused again, "But I have to use my hands."

"Anything to get me out of this damn chair!"

"Okay, I'll start then."

Gu Ran reached out and held the female star's plump buttocks.

The female star's gluteus maximus visibly contracted.

Gu Ran took the opportunity to push hard! The female star screamed "Ah" and her head hit the wall under the dressing table.

But his buttocks were still stuck in the metal folding chair.

Gu Ran: ...

Oops, this is a bit embarrassing.

Gu Ran couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect it...it's quite tight."

The female star cried, "Can you do it? Otherwise, go and call my assistant. I've asked her to check the sound equipment for me. Ask her to find a cutting machine or something when she comes, but don't tell anyone what it is for... Woo woo woo woo... I'm so unlucky! If I had known, I wouldn't have flown here from the United States to earn this money!"

Damn, no? No woman has ever dared to say I can't!

Gu Ran was also a little excited, "I can do it! Let's do it again! This time let's cooperate well!"

Gu Ran patted the female star's gluteus maximus, "Here, tighten it!"

The female star tensed up all over, "What are you doing..."

Without saying anything, Gu Ran directly held the metal folding chair with both hands, raised his knees, exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, and pushed hard -

Go away!

"Ah!" The female star let out a shrill scream, and then her whole body was freed from the metal folding chair, and her whole body fell heavily on the floor.

Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "So, I said I can do it, right?"

The female star got up from the floor in a panic, enduring the pain in her hips, and covered her face with her hands as she said, "Thank you... Oh, I'm so unlucky! Please keep this a secret for me. By the way, you should be a service staff here, right? Tell me your name, and I'll have my assistant give you some money as a thank you fee later."

Gu Ran looked down at his suit - as expected, in a place like this where so many celebrities gathered, a no-name suit could easily make people mistake him for a waiter.

What a joke! Am I the kind of person who is short of money?

Well, I just owed £100 million, I was short of money, but...

I need some magic tools! Gu Ran smiled and said, "My name is Gu Ran - if I guess correctly, you should be... Taylor Swift, right?"

Apart from Taylor Swift, which female singer can be 180cm tall and so unlucky and silly? The moment Gu Ran revealed her identity, a red talent point bubble appeared under the female singer's feet! That's right! This silly and cute guest performer is Taylor Swift!

Taylor Swift at this time is already a household name in the United States as a country folk diva! However, the overseas market has not yet been fully opened, so Taylor Swift's fame is not yet world-class, but it won't be long before Taylor Swift becomes a world-class diva.

I was able to meet Taylor Swift at this time, and I even gave her a couple of thumbs-up. Taylor Swift even said thank you. I felt secretly happy just thinking about it.

Taylor Swift, whose identity was revealed, trembled all over and continued to cover her face, saying, "No, I'm not! I really am not...Okay, I am...I am Taylor Swift. Oh my God! I am so unlucky! I haven't even gone on stage to perform, and I've already made such a fool of myself! How did you recognize me? Are you my fan? Never mind, what do you want? More money? Or my autograph? What do you want so that you don't tell anyone what happened today?"

Amid Taylor Swift's endless chatter, Gu Ran calmly picked up the red talent point bubble from the air.

"Ms. Swift, I don't want anything, just give me a good show and I'll see you later."

After saying that, Gu Ran smiled at Taylor Swift, turned around and walked out of the temporary dressing room.

The long-held Enhanced Charming Smile +1 was automatically triggered! Taylor Swift shuddered all over.

By the time she came to her senses, Gu Ran had already left.

Taylor Swift took a shaky breath, "This waiter... is kind of handsome. But it hurts so much! Wait, what did he mean by see you later?"

Taylor Swift rubbed her buttocks with a sour expression.

A few minutes later, Gu Ran returned to the charity dinner and sat at a table in the front row.

Victoria, Linda, and Sister NO rushed to sit at the same table with Gu Ran. Ferguson and Charlton also wanted to sit at the same table with Gu Ran, but they were too embarrassed to compete with the women for a seat, so they could only sit at the nearby table.

The waiters brought delicious dishes to the table quickly and skillfully.

The dishes were very exquisite, but there was only a small amount of food on the big plate, which was not enough to eat.

Of course, the celebrities who come here to attend the charity dinner are not here to eat.

The organizer Mendes walked onto the stage holding a glass of wine and delivered an enthusiastic opening speech - welcoming all the legends and celebrities, welcoming all the sponsors for support, and environmental protection is the eternal theme of mankind, blah blah.

The bigwigs below naturally gave applause, as if everyone cared about environmental protection.

Next, Mendes announced that he would invite popular singer Taylor Swift to perform at the environmental protection charity dinner.

Amidst applause, Taylor Swift, wearing a sequined halter backless miniskirt, walked onto the stage waving her arms under the flash lights of media reporters.

Before Taylor Swift could open her mouth, she saw Gu Ran sitting in the center of the first row.

Gu Ran gave her a wicked smile.

Taylor Swift was just dumbfounded...

No wonder he said, see you later! It turns out that this handsome Asian guy is not a waiter at all! He is a celebrity! I am so unlucky! Such an embarrassing thing happened to me at the hands of a young, handsome celebrity!

How am I ever going to face people in the future?!

No, no, I must talk to him alone after the party! I must shut him up! Taylor Swift took a deep breath and sang her famous song "Love Story" with the accompaniment.

The singing was very beautiful and Gu Ran was intoxicated by it.

Gu Ran had listened to this song many times on playback software in his previous life, but listening to it live at such a close distance felt so different.

Victoria, who was sitting next to Gu Ran, tilted her head and asked Gu Ran, "Gu, don't you think that the female singer on the stage has been secretly looking at you? Do you know her?"

Gu Ran quickly said seriously: "Sister-in-law, she might be looking at you. After all, you are also a well-known celebrity in the entertainment industry in the United States."

Victoria immediately puffed out her chest, "Oh, that's~"

After singing "Love Story", Taylor Swift sang "You Belong with Me".

After singing, Taylor Swift left the stage with a bitter face amid the applause of the crowd.

She almost tripped when she was going down the stage, but luckily she had long legs and was able to steady herself in time.

Gu Ran covered his face and tried hard to suppress his laughter - after all, his sister-in-law was sitting next to him, and if he accidentally triggered his enhanced charming smile, it would be a big trouble.

Then, the charity dinner began to get down to business.

Since it is a charity, we must raise funds.

The celebrities invited today are not here to eat for free. They all have to bring out items for auction or participate in the auction.

First, it was Mendes who started the conversation.

Mendes put out a Real Madrid jersey signed by Mourinho for charity auction.

In fact, with Mendes' ability, it would be easy for him to get Ronaldo's autographed jersey, but Mendes didn't want Ronaldo to overshadow Gu Ran, so he chose Mourinho's Real Madrid jersey.

Moreover, as a coach, Mourinho's customized jerseys are not issued and the quantity is extremely rare, making them even more worthy of collection.

The starting price of this jersey is 100 pounds, and celebrities have made bids.

Gu Ran directly offered 1,000 pounds to show his participation.

However, this bid was quickly eliminated by a representative of Suzuki's sponsor who offered 20,000 pounds.

Gu Ran then offered 20,010 pounds.

Suzuki's sponsor representative made an arrogant offer of £50,000.

Gu Ran then offered 50,010 pounds.

Suzuki sponsor representatives continued to bid £80,000.

A jersey sold for 80,000 pounds, which is about right.

Gu Ran smiled and did not continue bidding.

Just as Mendes was happily preparing to drop the hammer, Sister NO, who was sitting next to Gu Ran, raised her hand and directly bid 100,000 pounds.

Gu Ran: ??? Mourinho coached Chelsea from 2004 to 2008, and had a bad relationship with Chelsea in the second half, and took a lot of liquidated damages from Chelsea. Chelsea is actually willing to pay a high price for a Real Madrid jersey signed by Mourinho?

Sister NO smiled at Gu Ran like a queen, "Gu, if you want it, I will buy it for you."

Linda and Victoria next to them frowned and cursed the bitch in their hearts.

Gu Ran was a little embarrassed: Big sister, I just want to be a Manchester United and lift Suzuki to death! Bang! Mendes happily hammered down - Chelsea's No sister bought the Real Madrid jersey signed by Mourinho for 100,000 pounds.

The second item for auction was offered by Abramovich - a VIP box package for Chelsea's home game in the new season.

The VIP box for each home game is worth 14,300 pounds. Throughout the season, excluding various cup games and continental competitions, the Premier League has 38 home games, so based on ticket prices alone, Abramovich's charity auction item is worth at least 543,400 pounds.

As expected, when top tycoons make a move, it is always lavish.

Bidding starts at £100.

Gu Ran directly asked for 1,000 pounds - since he was so poor now, it would be nice to make a profit from the difference.

However, major sponsors all raised their bids enthusiastically, and in less than two minutes, the price was raised to 450,000 pounds.

This price is already very close to the ticket price, and there is not much point in asking for a higher price.

Gu Ran also stopped participating after bidding 1,000 pounds.

In the end, the sponsor representative of KFCBES Bank won Abramovich's charity auction item for 475,000 pounds.

Abu applauded the representatives of KFCBES Bank with satisfaction.

KFCBES Bank is definitely making money this time. Firstly, it has established a relationship with Abramovich. Secondly, they can give these "discounted" VIP box tickets as gifts to their big clients.

Sir Alex Ferguson's charity auction item is a replica of Manchester United's 2008 Champions League trophy.

The trophy also bears the autographs of Manchester United stars.

Although it is a replica, it is also an official replica of Manchester United, so it is of great significance.

Gu Ran did not bid for this item. After all, if he did, other clubs would misunderstand that he wanted to transfer to Manchester United.

In the end, a sponsor representative from Nike bought the replica trophy for £120,000.

Sir Ferguson smiled and personally presented the trophy to the sponsor representative of Nike, who also made a big splash.

The item Sir Charlton brought to the auction was the No. 9 jersey he wore when he was a Manchester United player.

Although Sir Charlton wore No. 7, No. 11 and No. 10 at Manchester United, he was wearing No. 9 when the Munich air crash occurred.

This jersey is extremely rare from a historical perspective.

This time, Gu Ran directly offered 10,000 pounds.

——It is easy to be misunderstood if you take a photo of a replica of Manchester United’s trophy, but it is not easy to be misunderstood if you take a photo of a legendary star’s jersey with historical significance.

The bidding price quickly climbed to £100,000, £200,000, £300,000, and continued to rise.

In the end, the top billionaire Abramovich sold out all the tickets in one go for 600,000 pounds.

This was also the highest price achieved at the charity dinner.

It’s so damn good to be rich... Gu Ran clapped his hands while secretly sighing in his heart: What a fucking thing, you spend money like throwing away waste paper and others still call you daddy.

In fact, if we raise the price at this time... Abramovich will definitely increase it further, even to 1 million pounds and there will be no cap.

But the question is, who dares to go against the top rich? Sir Charlton happily shook hands and hugged Abramovich. Abramovich's bid gave the old Sir enough face.

After Abramovich got Sir Charlton's No. 9 jersey, he turned around and gave it to Gu Ran at the next table.

Gu Ran: ...

After a moment of silence in the banquet hall, there was an even louder applause.

Media reporters were pressing the shutter buttons frantically - wouldn't this be the news material for tomorrow?

Gu Ran was holding Charlton's jersey, and he was completely shocked! He bought the jersey for 600,000 pounds, and gave it away without hesitation for a second...

Abu's pretentiousness deserves 101 points! I'm not afraid of Abu being proud if I give him one more point! Sister NO's face was filled with a smug smile.

Linda's chest was heaving with anger - at today's charity dinner, it seemed that her limelight was completely suppressed by the Chelsea people.

Next up is Liverpool's Sir Dalglish's charity auction item - the Anfield Crown.

This is a brass crown that Liverpool fans spontaneously made for Dalglish when he retired. There is also a line of small cursive characters engraved on the crown: Dedicated to Kenny, the eternal king of Liverpool.

This charity auction item is not a replica, it is the only one in the world! It can be seen that Liverpool has also invested heavily this time to compete at the charity dinner!

Representatives of the sponsors made bids one after another, and Gu Ran also bid up to 50,000 pounds! After all, such a commemorative crown is still very valuable for collection.

In the end, this Anfield crown was once again snapped up by Abramovich for 600,000 pounds.

Dalglish happily hugged Abramovich, but he did not intend to put the crown on Abramovich himself.

And Abu had no intention of wearing the crown. After getting the crown, Abu turned around again and put it on Gu Ran's head.

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene! The media reporters pressed the shutters of their cameras even more frantically! As expected, wherever Gu Ran was, there would be big news!

In just a few minutes, Abramovich had spent 1.2 million pounds on Gu Ran!

This is really a pure top brother! He really does whatever he wants, buy whatever he wants, give whatever he wants!

But the whole picture also looks very strange - the owner of Chelsea put the king's crown of Liverpool on the head of the Southampton player who was holding the Real Madrid coach jersey in one hand and the Manchester United legend jersey in the other.
