Jiang Zao looked at Lu Jinye, who was staring at her, and waved her hands in front of his eyes.
"Hello, Lu Jinye?"
Lu Jinye snapped out of his daze, looked at Jiang Zao, and felt a slight burning sensation at the tips of his ears.
Zhang Hao, sitting in the front seat, secretly glanced back and covered his mouth to chuckle.
I never expected Brother Lu to have such a perverted look on his face.
Lu Jinye: "Ah, this outfit looks quite nice."
Jiang Zao raised an eyebrow when Lu Jinye praised her: "I can't help it, I have a good figure, I look good in anything."
Lu Jinye chuckled: "That's true, Sister Jiang, the clothes hanger."
Jiang Zao leaned back in her seat, already used to Lu Jinye calling her "Sister Jiang".
The van stopped at the back door of the charity auction.
Lu Jinye instructed, "You and Zhang Hao go in first. He knows where it is. I will be in soon."
Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
He turned around, got out of the car, and closed the door.
Zhang Hao and he quickly entered the charity auction venue.
Zhang Hao looked at the seating chart sent by the organizer and found the second row in front, near the middle.
Zhang Hao said, "Sister Jiang, please sit down first. I'll go check on Brother Lu at the door."
Jiang Zao nodded: "Go ahead and do your work, I'm fine."
Zhang Hao then walked to the door to check with the organizers on Lu Jinye's appearance order and time.
Lu Jinye was already waiting outside.
His turn came quickly.
While other celebrities walked with frequent stops, Lu Jinye strode ahead, ignoring the media's attempts to stop him.
Media Person #1: "What's wrong with this guy today? Is something urgent?"
Media Person #2: "It's no exaggeration to say that he walked faster than when I was picking up my wife for my wedding."
Media Person #3: "I'm speechless. I spent the whole night waiting to take a picture of him, and now all the photos are of him disappearing into the distance."
Lu Jinye was eventually held down by the host at the door.
They took several photos before letting him in.
As soon as Lu Jinye entered the charity auction, his eyes immediately searched for Jiang Zao's figure.
Seeing her sitting obediently in the second row,
A smile appeared on Lu Jinye's face, and he walked over.
Lu Jinye: "Sister Jiang, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Zao looked up and saw Lu Jinye: "Oh, let me see what's being auctioned."
Lu Jinye smiled and said, "Do you like any of them? I'll take a picture for you."
Jiang Zao snorted: "No need, you don't have much money, I can buy it myself."
Lu Jinye clutched his heart, slightly hurt: "Wow, Sister Jiang, what you said hurt me. Although I'm not as rich as you now, I make money very quickly, and I'll catch up with you very soon."
Jiang Zao chuckled: "Alright, alright, Rich Man Ye."
Lu Jinye's eyelashes trembled slightly, and an undisguised smile revealed in his pupils.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two was quickly broken.
A strange, sarcastic voice came from behind.
"Hey, isn't this the penniless loser, Lu Jinye, the movie star?"
Jiang Zao and Lu Jinye turned their heads to look, and there was Xiao Ran, a male idol in the entertainment industry.
Xiao Ran and Lu Jinye have similar character designs, but Xiao Ran is always overshadowed by Lu Jinye. His songs aren't as popular as Lu Jinye's, and neither are his dances. What's even more infuriating is that he and Lu Jinye chose to change their image around the same time.
Lu Jinye has already won three Golden Horse Awards, but his works have been flops one after another, none of them are worth mentioning.
Therefore, Xiao Ran saw Lu Jinye as a stumbling block, feeling that Lu Jinye's appearance was blocking his path. If it weren't for Lu Jinye, he would have acted in Lu Jinye's movies and TV series, and he would have become famous.
Lu Jinye glanced at him, then turned back to look at the auction brochure in his hand.
Jiang Zao glanced at it curiously for a couple of seconds, then turned back.
Xiao Ran was even angrier when he saw that Lu Jinye ignored him.
She walked over and sat down next to Lu Jinye: "What, you're speechless now? Weren't you known for your sharp tongue?"
"As expected, now that you're broke, let's see what kind of trouble you can cause."
"I also want to thank you. Thank you for withdrawing, which allowed me to sign with Oasis Media. From now on, you will only drift further and further away from me, hahaha."
Jiang Zao couldn't listen anymore: "Lu Jinye, can you smell anything foul?"
Lu Jinye was quick to chime in: "Yes, there's a septic tank pump right next to it. Tell me, doesn't it stink?"
Jiang Zao: "Oh my, this is the first time I've ever seen someone put their butt and mouth on backwards. I've really seen something like this in my lifetime."
Lu Jinye chuckled: "Me too, this is really novel."
Xiao Ran looked at the two people in front of him who didn't take him seriously, and his face twitched with anger. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the auction started. This was something his agent had worked very hard to get, and he couldn't afford to mess it up.
Xiao Ran had no choice but to give up, his face contorted with anger.
"Unite the power of good, listen to the voice of love."
"Distinguished leaders, honored guests, and kind-hearted people present: Good evening! This is the venue for the 8th Annual Charity Auction Gala. I am your host, Yi Yi."
"First of all, on behalf of the event organizers and the recipients, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the caring enterprises and individuals present. Thank you for your timely assistance and generous donations, which have brought hope to countless families."
"Now, I declare the charity auction gala to begin!"
After a round of applause, the auctioneer took the stage.
"Good evening, everyone. I am your auctioneer, Wang Yi. I will be conducting the auction today. Without further ado, let's look at the first item."
"This is a rose-pink necklace made of pink gemstones and diamonds, representing love and romance..."
Jiang Zao sat below, looking at the actual items on the stage. She felt that the pictures looked even better, and the wealthy Jiang Zao decided to make a purchase.
"The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and each bid must be at least 10,000 yuan."
As soon as Wang Yi finished speaking
Bidding voices began to rise from the surrounding area.
"Five hundred and one thousand."
"Five hundred and thirty thousand."
"Six hundred thousand."
Jiang waited patiently for them to make the first bid, and waited until the bidding became increasingly sparse.
Jiang Zao raised her hand: "Eight hundred thousand."
Wang Yi's eyes met Jiang Zao's: "Number 5 is bidding 800,000."
Xiao Ran, standing beside him, rolled his eyes and said, "Eight hundred and fifty thousand."
Jiang Zao turned to look at Xiao Ran, and seeing the malice in his eyes, she realized that he was trying to raise the price for her.
Jiang Zao was secretly laughing her head off: Hahaha, if it were someone else, they might be on edge, but! She was just worried about not being able to spend the extra money.
Jiang Zao raised her hand again: "One million."
Xiao Ran looked at Jiang Zao with surprise, wondering why he had suddenly raised the price so high.
Then he saw Jiang Zao making a face at him, while also giving a disdainful snort.
This really spurred Xiao Ran into a frenzy, and on a whim, he blurted out: "One and a half million."
