With the fall of the gavel, the auction officially came to an end.
This auction was purely for charity, and no CEO was willing to donate their own famous paintings or anything like that. They were all just ordinary little things that were given away, so selling them for a few million was already considered a high price.
The fact that No. 1 spent tens of millions to buy Ji Zhinan's bracelet simply means that he was the highest bidder in this auction.
The host was extremely excited: "Mr. Number One, as the highest bidder tonight, do you have anything to say?"
The first person was an unfamiliar man. He stood up and calmly said, "Our master is unable to arrive at the auction on time due to an international video conference. However, he left an order that our lady's belongings must not be given to outsiders."
Then the man turned his head and bowed respectfully in Ji Zhinan's direction: "Madam."
What's there to be confused about? The young man in number one is Gu Yibei's subordinate. Gu Yibei himself didn't come, but he gave Ji Zhinan plenty of face.
After bowing to Ji Zhinan, the man continued, "Mr. Gu said that Madam has always cared about poor children. In addition to today's donation, the Gu family will donate 50 million yuan in cash in Madam's name to build a Hope Primary School, so that all children can have access to education."
"Great!" Xing Fei was the first to applaud, and Ji Zhinan instantly became the focus of the entire room. She remained calm and composed, and instead smiled and nodded: "ZN Group will also donate 50 million in my and my husband's names."
…………
The auction has officially ended, and the banquet will follow.
Today's center of attention undoubtedly belongs to Ji Zhinan. She and her husband Gu Yibei donated 100 million yuan and also gave away a Hope Primary School. I guess the reporters are already rushing to finish their articles.
CEOs from several companies interested in collaborating with ZN approached them for a chat.
On the contrary, Liang Wanyin's side was completely empty-handed; everyone thought she was an idiot and had something wrong with her head.
Just ten minutes into the banquet, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.
Many people's eyes were simultaneously focused in one direction.
The man had chiseled features, with eyebrows like distant mountains, a straight nose, and eyes as deep as the sea, alluring like a magnet. Beneath his high nose, his thin lips were slightly pursed.
He exuded a powerful aura in his black suit, which was unlike the ordinary suits of others, adorned with black feathers that made it particularly unique.
The man had a clear, cold gaze and an aloof demeanor. He strode in expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over everyone with an utterly indifferent look that made people instinctively straighten their backs, hold their breath, and involuntarily feel a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Yibei has arrived.
This was the first time he had ever been to such a scene.
Gu Yibei's appearance surprised all the CEOs present.
Liang Wanyin, who was still angry, suddenly brightened up when she saw Gu Yibei. She remembered the first time she saw the man. It was at a banquet in the high society of Y country. There were noble ladies and gentlemen, royal princes and princesses present. This man was still so conspicuous.
One glance was enough to captivate her completely, leaving her utterly mesmerized.
Seeing him again now, he has become even more mature and charming...
He couldn't help but step forward: "Yi Bei."
She unconsciously quickened her pace to step forward, and it was rare to see Liang Wanyin looking so shy, like a little girl.
"Yi Bei, how did you get here? I didn't even know."
If she knew Gu Yibei would be coming too, she would definitely dress up even more beautifully!
