Chapter 42 Lu Yanzhi: Why hasn't she sent me a message yet?
Meanwhile, the people who had previously photographed Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei outside the venue have now posted the photos and videos online.
In an instant, the hashtag #LuYanzhiBringsHanWeiToTheBanquet# trended at the top of the search rankings.
"Holy crap, President Lu is here too, and his car is a Bugatti Centodieci!"
"I knew his female companion must be Han Wei!"
"Yes, the last time he went to the 'Voice of Heaven' live broadcast was for Han Wei. This time, after two years, he is attending the charity gala again, and his female companion is still Han Wei. Everyone knows what his purpose is!"
"The target is Han Wei!"
"We're going to bring Han Wei along, just to infuriate Shi Nian! Hahahaha, don't you think I'm right?"
"I'm totally smitten... Didn't you guys notice how beautiful Han Wei looks today?!"
Subsequently, a new term appeared after the trending topic:
#HanWeiBlackGothicWeddingDress#
"Waaaaah, I almost forgot, Han Wei only has six months left. The dress she wore this time can actually be considered a wedding dress, a black wedding dress. I'm going to cry my eyes out."
"Yes, Han Wei must really want to marry Lu Yanzhi, but unfortunately there's someone else in Lu Yanzhi's way!"
"Please, really, Shi Nian, just get out of here! Didn't you see? Han Wei fainted last night because of her recent hectic schedule, but even so, she still wanted to raise awareness for sick children and offer her love and care. Shi Nian, what makes you think you can compare?"
In an instant, the praise for Han Wei intensified, earning her countless tears.
...
Inside the charity auction gala dinner.
Fu Jinyan was furious when he saw the comments online.
"I'm speechless," Fu Jinyan said to Shi Nian. "Let me tell you, the company never even invited Han Wei!"
"How could we possibly invite a third person to a proper charity gala like ours?"
"Look at what she's marketing outside! Wedding dresses? It's disgusting! Our theme is clearly to raise funds for seriously ill children and to raise awareness of their plight, but all we're doing now is gossip about her and Lu Yanzhi!"
Fu Jinyan grew increasingly angry as he spoke.
Normally, these kinds of celebrity galas are full of marketing, with all sorts of beauty contests and romances. As long as the money is actually donated, no one would think there's anything wrong with it.
After all, actions speak louder than words.
Han Wei's actions were simply disgusting.
The wedding dress, and that Lu Yanzhi, everyone's saying he's making all sorts of exceptions for Han Wei.
Did they recite it to death back then?!
"I've never seen anyone act like a third wheel so confidently!"
Shi Nian was very grateful to Fu Jinyan for standing up for her.
But there was nothing they could do.
The reason is simple: Han Wei has a get-out-of-jail-free card on her back—[Han Wei only has six months to live].
As long as it exists, many things can be tolerated without limit.
On the other side, Lu Yanzhi was also looking at his phone.
After glancing at the trending topics, Lu Yanzhi was certain that the marketing campaign had already gone on a massive scale.
So he opened the message page and took a look.
There is no new information about her.
Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly. Was the network connection bad?
After he and Han Wei left the Lu Group building together last time, Shi Nian acted with Lin Zhihuan and Lin Yuchen.
This time, he brought Han Wei to the charity gala. How will she react?
The message page was still showing the sentence he had sent her—"Grandpa's condition is not good, he wants to see you."
He scrolled up, but there was still no news.
Lu Yanzhi paused for a moment, then exited the chat window. But the next moment, messages kept refreshing intermittently.
The network connection is excellent.
She didn't send him a message.
Lu Yanzhi pursed his lips slightly.
"Yanzhi-ge?" Han Wei noticed his unusual behavior and called out to him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes, put his phone away, and when he opened them again, his eyes were calm again.
He shook his head, but his hand, hidden under the table, clenched slightly.
...
Time passed slowly, and one competing item after another was put up for sale and then snapped up by buyers.
Donors can decide their own donation percentage, and the Fu Group's auctions like to put all competing items with the same percentage in the same session. Therefore, at this charity auction dinner, except for those specifically marked, the donors' donation percentage for all competing items was 70%.
Therefore, apart from the first Ming Dynasty antique used as a warm-up, which accounted for 50%, the donation ratio for the others was 70%.
This is an auction hosted by the Fu Group, and the items that make it to the table here are all quite valuable.
Han Wei watched as one item after another was placed on the table, but she didn't follow along because they were all very expensive.
She wanted to establish an image of self-reliant individuals who used their own money in front of Lu Yanzhi, but she didn't want to bleed herself dry.
Finally, just before halftime, an item appeared.
"The next competitor is a tanzanite. Specifically… after evaluation, this tanzanite is worth at least 1 million yuan, its…"
As the auctioneer spoke, the blue tanzanite was then presented.
The lighting at the Fu Group's auction venue was perfect, and the deep blue tanzanite immediately attracted everyone's attention when it appeared.
This tanzanite is of extremely high quality and is very beautiful.
In the original Titanic movie, the Heart of the Ocean worn by the female lead was a blue diamond, but the props used in the film were made of tanzanite.
Although this piece of Tanzanite is still unprocessed and uncarved, seeing it immediately brings to mind the Heart of the Ocean.
When everyone looked at it, Shi Nian also looked over.
These are the gems she provided.
She first sold the item to Fu Jinyan, who then processed the personal information before auctioning it off.
From the moment she decided to come, Shi Nian knew she had to bring something with her.
Because this is a charity gala.
If she just comes over without making any statement, it will be difficult to get past Grandpa Fu.
Her purpose in coming this time was to win over Old Master Fu.
While this tanzanite isn't as expensive as most of its competitors, it's still decent enough to befit her status as a new generation artist.
and……
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.
This was the birthstone she had prepared for the child who was no longer alive.
When she received this piece of tanzanite, she was filled with anticipation for the birth of her child.
But now...
After learning that the charity gala was intended to benefit sick children, she took out the tanzanite.
Let's do some good for the children we've already lost.
I hope it's doing well on the other side.
Under the light, the deep blue gemstone shimmered.
"This tanzanite has a starting bid of 700,000 yuan, with each bid increasing..."
As the auctioneer's voice faded, a paddle was raised, followed by a numbered board displaying an amount.
"Bidder No. 888 offered 800,000."
As the auctioneer's voice rang out, everyone looked toward bidder number 888.
【888】This bidding license plate is not something that ordinary people can get.
Then, everyone saw Han Wei holding up this sign.
