Chapter 177 Huo Yanting: Aren’t there too many people who like Zhibao?
After the host’s opening remarks, the Chief Executive delivered a speech and the Hong Kong City Annual Charity Dinner officially began.
First of all, there is a classic performance by a famous star in the fields of film, television and music from the last century.
A classic Hong Kong song "Love Across Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" and wonderful film and television clips on the big screen evoked long-forgotten memories for many people.
After the performance, the artist took out a precious item of his and put it up for auction.
The proceeds from the auction will be donated to a charity foundation for people in need.
Representatives of the beneficiaries appeared one after another, and the host told the stories behind these people in need.
Next comes the fundraising phase.
Half an hour later, the delicious and exquisite meal was brought up by the waiter. Xizhi enjoyed the meal while eating, and occasionally raised a glass to drink with other people at the table.
She has a warm and cheerful personality. The Financial Secretary's wife is mainland athlete Xia Chan, and it was very easy to chat with her when sitting next to her.
The Chief Executive's wife was just the right amount of politeness towards Xizhi.
Halfway through the banquet, the fundraising and the small items donated by the stars had raised 20 million in charity funds.
The big screen displayed the names of the first eight people who had bought charity items and the amount of their donations.
The main event has just begun at this time.
Because it is an auction venue, it cannot just show a bunch of junk used by celebrities. Every year, the charity dinner will cooperate with world-renowned auction houses.
High-end jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, and even real estate and land.
Thirty percent of the buyer's auction price goes to charity, and the rest goes to the auction house.
Xizhi had a basic understanding of the rules. After the first piece of calligraphy and painting was bought by the founder of Tomato World at the same table with a starting price of 5 million and finally sold for 25 million, Xizhi was shocked to find that the auction house was really making money.
It is these rich people who are being cut.
What good is it to spend 25 million to buy a painting, even if it is an antique? Before you can eat or drink, disasters and wars will come. This painting is not as good as a piece of cake.
She firmly believes that gold is still a good store of value.
If you have money, hoard gold.
While Xia Chan was thinking about it, the secretary whispered a few words in the ear of the Chief Executive's wife next to her, and she got up and left to answer the phone outside.
In a private room, the Chief Executive's wife, Wang Linyuehe, picked up the phone handed to her by her secretary.
"Hello, Director Rong?"
Rong Yuan: "Mrs. Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. Are you at the charity dinner?"
Wang Linyuehe: "Yes, Director Rong called me specially. I was really surprised. What can I do for you?"
Since the city was annexed, Hong Kong has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although Hong Kong is still a special administrative region and operates according to the previous system, the era when the Chief Executive of Hong Kong fed the local tyrant has long passed.
You can continue to govern this area in the same style as before, but don't go overboard. If everything remains calm, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. However, if you make any small moves, you will receive a warning.
The title of Director Rong Yuan may not sound very impressive, but she has only one immediate superior, so even the Chief Executive's wife has to be respectful and in awe of Director Rong.
"A little personal matter. My sister-in-law is also at your charity evening. It's her first time attending such an event. My mother-in-law is worried that her beloved goddaughter will be wronged, so she specifically asked me to find someone to take care of her.
I just thought of you, Yuehe. How is it? Have I, your sister-in-law, caused you any trouble? "
Yan Xizhi? The internet-famous girlfriend of the Huo family's crown prince?
The Chief Executive's wife was so shocked that she could stuff an egg into her mouth. At the same time, she also understood why the old man of the Fok family, who had always lived a secluded life, would personally accompany his grandson's girlfriend to attend this dinner.
It turns out that this woman is not only a female internet celebrity with strong sales capabilities, but also has a super powerful background from the Zhou family in Kyoto.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly replied, "Don't worry, Director Rong, I will never let Miss Yan suffer any injustice in my territory."
Rong Yuan was relieved: "I feel relieved with what you said, Yuehe. There will be a New Year's visit next month, and I will go to Hong Kong City with my boss."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Linyuehe patted her chest. Fortunately, she did not do anything stupid. It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover. You cannot look down on anyone because of your professional filter.
Xizhi felt that the Chief Executive's wife's smile towards her had become much kinder and more enthusiastic since she came back.
A colorful gold and diamond brooch in the shape of fireworks is being displayed on the stage, with a starting price of 350,000.
Xizhi just looked at it twice more, and the man next to her raised his sign to take a picture, but Xizhi stopped him with a look.
"Don't you like it?"
Xizhi: "Wait and see something else."
She whispered in the man's ear.
Huo Yanting also felt that this brooch was just average and she deserved better.
Who knew that the Chief Executive’s wife would take action.
And compete with others in bidding.
Soon the price reached 1.5 million.
The Chief Executive's wife was so determined to win the brooch that the others gave up bidding. In the end, the Chief Executive's wife won the bid.
When they went on stage for a group photo, Wang Linyuehe suddenly mentioned Xizhi by name, "This brooch is very suitable for a friend I just met—Ms. Yan Xizhi."
Xizhi stopped eating, wiped her mouth elegantly with a napkin, and looked at the Chief Executive's wife on the stage with a smile.
"As a representative of the internet in the new technological era, Ms. Yan has a strong ability to mobilize the economy. Our Hong Kong city's economic development needs such a figure of the new era.
I will give this brooch I bought today to Miss Yan as a sincere gift. I hope Miss Yan can build a solid bridge for economic exchanges between our Hong Kong city and the mainland."
Host: "Then let's welcome Miss Yan Xizhiyan to the stage with applause."
Xizhi looked at the man beside her, and when she saw Huo Yanting nodded to her, she stood up and walked onto the stage.
Under the spotlight, she has an elegant temperament, beautiful and exquisite makeup, and the luxurious dress adds a touch of nobility to her. She looks bright and charming standing there.
The Chief Executive's wife personally put the brooch she had just photographed on her chest.
Everyone in the audience except Huo Yanting was stunned.
What is the Chief Executive's wife doing? Why is she trying so hard to curry favor with a female influencer who's just the girlfriend of the Fok family's heir apparent? There are plenty of female influencers who are more effective at bringing in goods than she is.
Everyone had a lot of questions in their heads and thought that Yan Xi Zhizi was an extremely evil woman.
Only Huo Yanting was thinking about a question.
Are there too many people who like his Zhibao?
