Chapter 351 This money will be deducted from your film salary

8pm

The night in East City is as bustling as ever.

Shang Wanwan wore a mask, a light smoky gray long skirt, a tasseled diamond sweater, and chained J, and entered the auction venue with a stunning figure.

Today, her fifth work will be displayed in front of all the celebrities in East City along with many master-level jewelry.

She plans to donate half of the auction proceeds to a charity fund and save the other half for Yaoyao's study fund.

The auction officially started at 8:30 and buyers came in one after another.

In addition to the auction items that made money, the entire auction was also attended by female guests from the upper class.

They were dressed gorgeously, and the entire auction was like a fashion show.

The ones who were dressed the most formally and attracted the most money were Huo Dongming and his female companion Qin Meng, who arrived just in time, and were accompanied by a little boy.

Qin Meng wore a dark green fishtail long dress today. The tight-fitting and hip-lifting design showed off her good figure. She wore a set of jewelry. She was only in her twenties but looked as mature as someone in her thirties.

If it weren't for Huo Dongming beside her, I don't know how many people would laugh at her for being too old-fashioned. And the layers of jewelry piled on her body were as expensive as a small villa in Dongshi, giving people the impression that she was rich and nothing else.

Seeing her being brought in by Huo Dongming, many people began to whisper to each other.

Qin Meng was still arrogant and proud, but if she heard what those ladies were talking about, she would probably be so angry that her nose would be crooked.

"Mr. Huo is really greedy. How could he eat the daughter of such a nouveau riche?"

"I heard that they were together before Mrs. Huo died. At that time, she was still a little-known third-rate internet celebrity. Later, she became famous and turned into this person."

"Tsk tsk, she's really not as good as Mrs. Huo back then. Look at her, it's so funny. Why doesn't Mr. Huo care about her dressing? Her image is hard to describe. The new stars in the entertainment industry know how to dress better than her."

These people are always gossipy.

Shang Wanwan was often criticized and excluded by them. If they couldn't attack Shang Wanwan's appearance, they would attack her for being unpopular.

In short, whoever is popular, strong, or in the limelight will be scolded.

But as for Qin Meng, they had another reason to scold her, which was that her background was not worthy of her being in the same circle with them.

It is conceivable how glorious Qin Meng is now, and how miserable her fate will be if she falls from the altar in the future.

Now she is still arrogant and ignorant of the consequences, thinking that the looks others cast on her are envy and jealousy.

Shang Wanwan, wearing a mask, appeared in a low-key manner, and not many people noticed her, but she ignored her daughter and J beside her. J was the only mixed-race man in the whole scene, and he was the apple of the eye of women's aesthetic taste.

When he appeared in neat clothes, almost all the women set their eyes on him.

This was the first time they had seen such a handsome man.

In terms of appearance, Oriental men are always inferior to mixed-race men.

Therefore, even though Shang Wanwan thought that Huo Dongming was so handsome that it was outrageous, she still couldn't compare who was more handsome in front of J.

If wealth is discarded, all women will give J a high score for appearance without hesitation.

The ultimate purpose of everyone's visit was to buy jewelry at the auction, and after a stunning glimpse, the women's attention shifted.

"Chris, the next piece is yours."

J whispered to Shang Wanwan that their seats today were in the middle, neither stealing the limelight nor falling behind.

Because they were new faces, no one knew them, and even the reporters didn't focus their cameras on them.

Shang Wanwan nodded gently, with a smile on her face, but it couldn't be seen under the mask.

Yaoyao followed them quietly. Although she didn't quite understand what the adults were doing here, she was quiet by nature. She blinked her big eyes and snuggled in J's arms, watching the incomprehensible bustle.

"We are now showcasing the work of American designer Christina. The starting price is 50 million. If you are interested, you can bid."

A gentle female voice sounded from the podium in front.

"One hundred million."

Before anyone could react, someone had already made an offer. Everyone was shocked, and all eyes turned to the direction where the voice had just been heard.

Qin Meng sat next to Huo Dongming with her chin held high, a determined look on her face.

With the support of a financial sponsor, she knew that with Huo Dongming's financial resources, things worth only a few hundred million would be easy for him to buy.

She also wanted to let everyone know that if Qin Meng set her sights on something, she would take it. She quoted a high price right away, believing that even if someone wanted it, they wouldn't dare to compete with her.

"One hundred million and one."

J politely raised the sign in his hand, and Shang Wanwan was slightly surprised.

"This is my work, why are you making such a fuss about it?"

He is crazy.

"I remember the man I saw at your best friend's house that day was your ex-husband, and the one next to him was his new love?"

J smiled and moved his lips, his voice so low that only Shang Wanwan could hear what he said.

"I think so, right..."

Qin Meng, haha. My ex-husband's old lover.

"How can a woman like that wear something you designed?"

Shang Wanwan was moved by J's words.

"Don't argue next time. He has money, so let him bleed a little more. Just consider it a good deed."

Huo Dongming's hundreds of millions are just like pulling thorns from a porcupine. No matter how much he spends, it won't change anything.

She glanced at Yaoyao in J's arms and reached out to gently pinch her little hand. Yaoyao didn't understand what her mother meant, so she responded with a sweet smile, snuggling up to J even more closely, with a cute and innocent look on her face.

Qin Meng was furious when she heard the voice, but when her eyes fell on J's face, her anger subsided a little. It turned out to be the handsome man she had met before.

However, a man would not buy this kind of jewelry unless he buys it for the woman he loves.

Qin Meng saw the little girl in J's arms and Shang Wanwan wearing a mask, and felt contempt in her heart.

What kind of woman is so ugly that she comes to a place like this wearing a mask? One hundred million and one? I have never heard of such a competition in my life.

Sure enough, a faint laugh came from the buyer, but this amount was much more than what Qin Meng paid.

"One hundred and fifty million."

Qin Meng added with disdain.

J then raised the price: "One hundred and fifty million and one dollars."

Now Qin Meng could conclude that this man was targeting her on purpose, because they were the only two people competing for the piece, while everyone else was just watching.

This price war even made Huo Dongming look in the direction of J, but he just glanced at him indifferently and then looked away.

I don’t know him. I’ve never seen him.

I guess he's the stupid son of a landlord, with lots of money and lots of free time.

He was too lazy to participate, so he agreed to take Cheng Yanlin to the amusement park after accompanying Qin Meng through the process.

"Two hundred million."

Qin Meng was furious. Where did this man come from? How dare he snatch things from her?

J was about to raise his hand, but was stopped by Shang Wanwan.

"After deducting taxes, half of the two hundred million is Yaoyao's tuition. If we continue to fight, we will have to pay for it. I am here to make money, not to lose money."

His words were full of dissatisfaction, but J put on a charming smile and rubbed his palm on the back of her hand twice, giving Shang Wanwan goosebumps. To others, they looked very affectionate.

Huo Dongming looked over here again for some unknown reason, and Yaoyao in J's arms just turned her face. He looked at Yaoyao and felt like he was hit by a club.

This child...

Like a smaller version of Shang Wanwan.

Looking at the woman next to J, although she was wearing a mask, she looked strangely familiar.

Huo Dongming's eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands, his eyes were stained with a hint of dark ink, and his face darkened.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. No one bid anymore for 200 million.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s that I don’t want to compete.

J is also written as 罷.

After the final decision was made on stage, Qin Meng successfully purchased Christina's new work for 200 million.

Huo Dongming stood up slowly, and Qin Meng followed him, looking very proud.

"Two hundred million. This money will be deducted from your salary for each film. You will have to work very hard to pay it back in the next few years."
