The place Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang arrived at was the first table of the charity gala, which had been empty and no one dared to sit at before.
The people sitting at this table were the highest-ranking and most prestigious individuals at the entire charity gala.
For example, the organizer Lu Songchao, etc.
After Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang arrived, they simply sat down at random.
Seeing this, many guests were dumbfounded and simply sat down.
Even the organizer, Mr. Lu Songchao, hasn't sat down yet. Isn't that a bit impolite?
Just as they were wondering if Lu Songchao would be angry, Lu Songchao walked over.
Facing Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang, who were already seated, Lu Songchao was not angry at all. Instead, he politely said a few words and then sat down as well.
Upon seeing this, everyone was even more astonished.
This young man's identity seems to be even more impressive than they imagined.
Just now, those eight or nine noblewomen who wanted to "educate" Su Ningshuang fell into Cui Mantong's trap.
At this moment, I feel even more fortunate.
Fortunately, Lu Songchao and his group came in just now. If they had arrived a moment later, they probably would have already started "lecturing" Su Ningshuang.
If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome.
Who knew Su Ningshuang's boyfriend was so impressive?
If they actually tried to teach Su Ningshuang a lesson, they would probably be taught a lesson by Su Ningshuang's boyfriend, and their fate would be rather tragic.
Thank goodness.
At this moment, they dared not have any unreliable ideas about educating Su Ningshuang.
The ladies breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Mantong was seething with hatred.
Cui Mantong was furious. She had finally managed to get Su Ningshuang to fall into the trap she had set, which offended many wealthy women and socialites.
Now, with the appearance of Su Ningshuang's boyfriend, Su Ningshuang's crisis has vanished.
I wasted so much time talking.
I'm so angry!!
Cui Mantong grew angrier the more she looked at Su Ningshuang, but since Su Ningshuang was sitting at the first table, Cui Mantong didn't dare to go over and provoke her.
She could only sit angrily in her seat.
Time flies, and with the arrival of the guests, the banquet is about to begin.
However, there was one more important thing before the banquet began.
Tonight's dinner is a charity dinner; charity is very important.
While the purpose is also to raise money, charity galas hosted by jewelry companies like Cartier are more reasonable.
For tonight's charity event, Cartier has specially set aside a batch of precious jewelry for a small-scale sale, which could also be called an auction.
The proceeds from the sale will be donated in the name of Cartier.
Those who donate money will also receive Cartier jewelry and gain something in return; their donations won't be in vain, and everyone benefits.
Similar charity galas have been held not only by Cartier, but also by other large jewelry companies such as Bulgari.
Soon, the first piece of jewelry was brought out; it was a diamond ring worth over two million.
After an auction, a wealthy woman bought it for nearly four million.
Items purchased at charity galas are generally more expensive than in real life.
"Ning Shuang, in a little while I'll call out a price for you, and you can buy one or two items."
Ye Chen lowered his voice and said to Su Ningshuang.
He is Cartier's second-largest shareholder and also the highest-ranking person at Cartier present tonight.
He would naturally show his support for tonight's charity event, setting an example and going through the motions.
"good."
Su Ningshuang understood Ye Chen's meaning. This was an event organized by her boyfriend's business, so she definitely had to support it.
So when the second piece of jewelry went on sale, Su Ningshuang made a bid.
"Eight million."
Um?
Cui Mantong, who had been somewhat downcast, suddenly saw Su Ningshuang ask to buy jewelry.
Cui Mantong's eyes lit up.
"I'll offer ten million!!!"
She still really dislikes Su Ningshuang, so when she sees Su Ningshuang wanting to buy jewelry, she naturally wants to go against Su Ningshuang and try to annoy her.
Sure enough, after she called out the price, Su Ningshuang didn't say anything more.
Judging from this, Su Ningshuang's financial resources aren't that great.
Cui Mantong pursed her lips, finding a sliver of comfort in her heart.
Ultimately, Cui Mantong spent ten million yuan to buy this piece of jewelry, which was worth more than four million yuan.
Time flies, and when it came time to sell the fifth piece of jewelry, Su Ningshuang spoke up again.
"Fifteen million!!!"
This is a piece of jewelry worth around nine million.
"Ten million eight million!!!"
Cui Mantong continued speaking.
Cui Mantong eventually bought the jewelry.
Cui Mantong was smug and in a very good mood.
Later, Su Ningshuang made two more bids, but Cui Mantong bought them both by significantly increasing the price.
Su Ningshuang didn't care, and only chatted with Ye Chen occasionally.
From a distance, unable to hear what Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were saying, Cui Mantong guessed that Su Ningshuang couldn't buy the jewelry and wanted her boyfriend to help her.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. Your boyfriend can't buy it either."
Cui Mantong spoke with great confidence.
Since Su Ningshuang wanted her boyfriend's help, she decided to compete with him for it.
"Forty million two million!"
When the next item was to be auctioned off, Ye Chen spoke up.
"Forty-five million!!!"
Cui Mantong continued to cause trouble.
Ye Chen didn't continue to haggle. He wasn't interested in the jewelry; he was just making a token offer, and it didn't matter whether he bought it or not.
Ye Chen did not continue bidding.
Ye Chen then made two more bids.
However, Cui Mantong still bought them. Because the jewelry became more and more valuable, Cui Mantong bought these two pieces of jewelry, spending nearly 200 million yuan.
Time flies, and the jewelry auction is over.
In the end, Cui Mantong spent 340 to 350 million yuan to buy jewelry worth only 80 to 90 million yuan.
Cui Mantong also became the "focus" of the evening, being the guest who spent the most money.
"Su Ningshuang must be furious right now."
Cui Mantong's face was full of smugness.
Tonight, whether Su Ningshuang asked or her boyfriend helped, she paid extra to buy it.
Su Ningshuang didn't manage to buy a single piece of jewelry.
Thinking of this, the gloom from before vanished instantly, and Cui Mantong was overjoyed.
Su Ningshuang must be furious!
Hahahaha.
Cui Mantong was laughing wildly inside.
