Chapter 299 How could you do this to my brother?
Various welfare institutions organized live broadcasts to provide evidence for Jiang Xingyao.
They all showed their donation records in the live stream, and the donation time was indeed before the Jinle Cup competition.
At that time, even Jiang Xingyao herself couldn't guarantee that she would become famous overnight at the Golden Music Cup, so there was no question of deliberately creating a persona in advance.
The sarcastic remarks directed at Jiang Xingyao gradually subsided. Although many people still looked hesitant, the sharp criticisms disappeared.
Many people are sighing over Jiang Xingyao's charitable work behind the scenes.
But Jiang Xingyao herself was still a bit confused.
Apart from the Shancheng Welfare Home, she did not actually donate anywhere else, and even to the Shancheng Welfare Home, she absolutely did not donate such a large sum of money.
At the Shancheng Welfare Home, the director, Mom, broadcast live again to the photo wall.
Originally, next to Jiang Xingyao's photo was Shen Mingsu's photo. Now, the photo wall seems to have been renovated, and Jiang Xingyao's photo is now on top, with nothing next to it and a great distance between it and the other photos nearby.
Jin Qingyu was still saying nice things down there, trying to get others to participate in the auction. Jiang Xingyao seemed to have guessed where the extra money came from.
It turns out that Jin Qingyu had been doing charity work in her name all along.
"Miss Jiang is so kind to even a stranger's child. I believe she is not the kind of malicious person described online. I'll raise the bid by 500,000 to bid on Miss Jiang's piece of music." Finally, someone in the crowd spoke up to bid.
The host, beaming with delight, announced, "Alright, Mr. Number 18 has increased his bid by 500,000. Miss Jiang's piece is now priced at 6.5 million. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?"
Once the first person spoke up, others began to eagerly try as well.
Qu Xinting also symbolically raised the price twice, and soon the price of the song was raised to 8.5 million, and people were still bidding.
In a corner of the auction hall, Jiang Cancan saw this scene, her expression twisted, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart once again.
She originally intended to take this opportunity to release the recording when Jiang Xingyao was in the most public eye, ruining her reputation. But those damned orphanages actually came out to cause trouble at this time.
Given Jiang Xingyao's usual aloof demeanor, Jiang Cancan never have imagined that she would do charity work.
She usually lives in her own world, so how could she have thought of these things?
There's definitely something fishy going on here.
At the auction, Jiang Xingyao's piece was bid up to ten million, and then the bidding quieted down.
Normally, one of her original songs would cost about the same price.
It's just a performance, and the price is already an overpayment.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiang Xingyao's piece will be auctioned off for ten million, which would be a good start for the auction.
Just then, Jin Qingyu, who had remained unmoved, suddenly picked up a card: "Twenty million."
The host's eyes widened: "This gentleman has offered twenty million. Is there anyone offering a higher price?"
“Thirty million.” Zhou Huaiyan, sitting next to him, also slowly raised his hand.
Jiang Xingyao and Jin Qingyu both glanced in his direction at the same time.
Jiang Xingyao gently shook her head at him.
"Fifty million." Jin Qingyu lowered the price again.
Zhou Huaiyan remained as steady as a mountain: "Seventy million."
"This...this...Miss Jiang's piece has already been bid up to 70 million. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" This price is simply too high. Apart from those antique paintings, calligraphy, or jewelry with extremely high collection value, the host has never seen anything else that can be auctioned for this price, especially a piece of music that has already been listened to and is now just a vague memory.
Jiang Xingyao was also a little anxious. She asked directly, "Brother Huaiyan, what are you doing?"
“My sister is doing charity work, so of course I have to support her.” Zhou Huaiyan shrugged and raised an eyebrow toward Jin Qingyu, clearly still wanting to raise the price.
Jin Qingyu retorted, "One hundred million, and only I can film Yao Yao's music."
Zhou Huaiyan chuckled softly: "Is that so? It's not certain who will win yet, two hundred million."
This is only the first item in the auction, and the bid has already exceeded the total value of all the items in the entire auction.
A murmur of discussion arose from the audience once again.
Qu Xinting frowned as she approached Zhou Huaiyan and said a few words to him. Zhou Huaiyan then stopped bidding. The piece was auctioned off to Jin Qingyu for 300 million yuan, all of which was donated directly to mountainous areas in Jiang Xingyao's name. This incident caused a huge uproar online.
Later, Jin Qingyu and Zhou Huaiyan each bid on a few more items. This time, the two were very harmonious and in sync, and there was no more fierce competition that resulted in sky-high prices.
Jiang Xingyao changed her clothes and returned to Qu Xinting's side. She sensed that Qu Xinting seemed a little absent-minded, so she took the initiative to ask, "Mom, what's wrong? Did Brother Huaiyan say something to you just now?"
Qu Xinting shook her head: "I'm fine. This must have been Jiang Cancan's doing again. What are your plans to do next?"
Jiang Xingyao said, "Actually, as long as it can be proven that the child in her belly is not He Qifeng's, it can be proven that what happened that day was a deliberate frame-up."
This does not conflict with their original purpose.
Qu Xinting said, "As long as you know it yourself, that's fine."
Soon it was time for the last item in the auction.
It is said that the items in this auction were provided by Zheng Ying.
Being placed at the end of the exhibition must mean it's a rare treasure. Jiang Xingyao couldn't help but be curious about what Zheng Ying was up to.
The host invited Zheng Ying directly to the stage. Zheng Ying said, "Hello everyone, what I am auctioning is 10% of the shares of Yunpu Group that I hold. You all know the reserve price, so I won't go into details. Now, the bidding will begin. If I get a satisfactory answer, I will naturally sell!"
As Zheng Ying's voice faded, Jiang Xingyao finally understood why she was chosen to be the final performer. Yunpu Group had been gaining momentum in recent years and was one of the top multinational corporations in China. Although she only held 10% of the shares, she could continue to profit from them, making it a worthwhile deal no matter how you looked at it.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Gu, are you serious? Are you really going to auction off your shares?"
"It's genuine, everyone can rest assured. I would never joke in such a setting. I've already brought the equity transfer agreement, and it's ready for signing at any time," Zheng Ying said.
The people present were like hungry wolves seeing meat, eager to devour everything in Zheng Ying's hands immediately.
Gu Zhiyuan had already stood up. She screamed, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? How could you sell the Gu family's shares?"
Zheng Ying smiled sarcastically: "Miss Gu, as far as I know, your sister-in-law is someone else, isn't she?"
"I can't afford to be Mrs. Gu, and I don't feel at ease holding onto the Gu family's shares."
Gu Zhiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she stood there like a puppet, staring at Zheng Ying in disbelief.
She knows! She knows everything!
She's getting revenge on the Gu family!
At this moment, Gu Zhiyuan couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly called President Gu, who was far away.
Zheng Ying didn't even look at her and directly called for the auction to begin.
Everyone present could tell that Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu were probably facing a marital breakdown. However, attracted by the huge profits, they didn't have time to discuss those gossips. They only wanted to take over Mrs. Gu's shares before Mr. Gu arrived.
Gu Zhiyuan finished her call, gave Zheng Ying a resentful look, and then started bidding as well.
Just now on the phone, her brother repeatedly told her that no matter what the cost, they must not let the Gu family's shares fall into the hands of others.
As the auction reached its climax, the vice president of Yunpu Group also got involved.
Gu Zhiyuan knew very well that if the other party obtained 10% of Zheng Ying's shares, Yunpu Group would probably change hands in the future.
Although she knew that Zheng Ying's shares were already overpriced, she could only desperately try to negotiate a higher price with the other party.
But now Gu Zhiyuan doesn't have enough funds, and the price has already exceeded the bottom line her brother just quoted her, so she has no choice but to ask the Shen family for help.
Seeing this, Shen Youliang's face darkened considerably, and his expression toward Gu Zhiyuan grew increasingly displeased.
The vice president of Yunpu Group was clearly determined to acquire the shares held by Zheng Ying. Although Shen Youliang also knew that the Shen family and the Gu family had now become in-laws and should help each other.
But faced with this auction that seemed like a bottomless pit, he still wavered.
Putting aside his uncertainty about whether he could help the Gu family get those shares back, Shen Youliang was also unsure how long it would take to recoup his investment once they were back.
Especially seeing how wealthy and powerful the vice president of Yunpu Group was.
And then there's Zheng Ying on stage, so openly and honestly breaking ties with the Gu family. Who knows what other tricks she might have up her sleeve later?
The Zheng family of Haicheng is also a force to be reckoned with. Shen Youliang pondered and still felt that the Shen family should withdraw as soon as possible.
He had already made up his mind, so he gave Gu Zhiyuan a few perfunctory words, showing no intention of offering any help.
No matter how much Gu Zhiyuan pleaded, Shen Youliang remained unmoved, and Shen Mingsu simply walked away without even glancing at her.
Gu Zhiyuan had a vague guess in her mind, and her vision went black as she almost fainted.
During this period, she controlled Shen Mingsu by complaining to Shen Youliang.
The fact that Shen Mingsu dares to leave without regard for Shen Youliang means that the Shen family is giving up on her.
Gu Zhiyuan couldn't offer a price, and the Gu family's shares were ultimately won by the vice president of Yunpu Group.
As soon as the auction ended, Gu Zhiyuan went berserk and blocked Zheng Ying's path, yelling, "Zheng Ying, how could you be so vicious?"
When my brother married you, he gave you 10% of the shares to put your Zheng family at ease. How could you auction off the shares?
How can you do this to my brother?
"Miss Gu, then let me ask you, have you and your brother done right by me?" Zheng Ying asked sarcastically.
