Chapter 77
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Qi Xin: "Impossible. The golden invitation sent to your family was returned. Who gave you this one?"
Nan Tao: "Don't worry about who gave it to me. My seat is definitely in the first row. If there is no seat card for me, it must be your fault."
Qi Xin's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered that he was the organizer, and said firmly: "So what! I am the organizer, if I say you don't have it, then you don't have it. It's useless even if you take out the golden invitation!"
The argument between the two gradually attracted the attention of the guests.
"Who is this woman who actually has a golden invitation in her hand?"
"I've never seen this person in the circle. Does anyone know his name?"
"Has the Qi family become a little too arrogant in the past two years? They already have a golden invitation letter, but you say there is no seat? This is so insulting."
"Who made the Qi family the organizer this time? I think this woman is going to be in trouble."
"So what if they are the organizers? There is no rules at all. Everyone knows that the first row of charity auction banquets over the years are filled with people who received golden invitations."
The guests were talking to each other.
Qi Xin's face froze when he heard everyone's discussion, but it had already come to this point, and he was stuck here, unable to retreat or advance. He stared at Nan Tao with resentment. If Nan Tao hadn't insisted on competing with him for the position, this incident would never have happened.
Qi Xin gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? I've already said there's no place for you. There's no place for you. Go somewhere else quickly and don't bother everyone here. You don't want to make a scene and be on the headlines, do you?"
Nan Tao was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a group of people coming in from the door of the conference hall. She pretended to be sad and said, "You are right. You Qi family are the organizers. You can bully me, a person with no status and no background, as you wish. If you say there is no place for me here, then there is no place for me."
As she spoke, Nan Tao deliberately waved the golden invitation in her hand in the air so that people walking behind her could see it.
Sure enough, the next second, Shen Bei hurried forward and said, "Xinxin, what happened? She has a golden invitation in her hand, how come there is no seat? I clearly arranged it."
Qi Xin bit her lip, "Who knows whether what she took is real or fake."
Shen Bei frowned and looked at Nan Tao, stunned for a moment, "You got a golden invitation?"
Nan Tao said with a smile: "What else? Look carefully to see if it is true or false, and don't wrongly accuse me."
Shen Bei took the invitation letter and saw the signature and seal on it. He confirmed that it was genuine. He saw the words "Nan Tao" on it and was a little surprised. "Your last name is Nan too?"
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows: "Why, from your tone it seems that I can't have the last name Nan?"
Shen Bei quickly apologized with a smile, "How could that be? You misunderstood. Since what you got is the real thing..."
"Shen Bei!" Qi Xin stood up and shouted.
Shen Bei frowned, suppressed the unhappiness in his eyes, turned around and coaxed, "Wife, don't make a fuss now that there are so many people here. Dad said that it is very important to hold this charity auction in a harmonious way, and there must be no problems."
Qi Xin: "Don't use dad to pressure me! Her seat is not here, let her sit in the back row."
Shen Bei took a deep breath and coaxed in a low voice: "Be good, don't be awkward. The golden invitation in her hand is real. How could she force her to stand in the back with so many guests watching? How could our Qi family save face?"
Qi Xin: "You favor her when you just met her. What do you mean? Is it because she is pretty? You like her too, right?"
Shen Bei was impatient and suppressed his anger, coaxing: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be good and stop making trouble."
Qi Xin sneered: "You admit it? You still say I am making trouble, what am I making trouble about?"
Nan Tao watched the couple quarreling, covering her lips and laughing, she was extremely happy.
Yu Zhengyang stared at Shen Bei expressionlessly, his deep black eyes were extremely oppressive.
Shen Bei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he became even more annoyed with Qi Xin. He had finally invited President Yu to come, and he had tried his best to show himself in front of President Yu, but in the end, everything was ruined by this woman Qi Xin. If he couldn't even arrange a small seat properly, how could President Yu think highly of his abilities, and how could he climb up to the Yu Group in the future.
After thinking it through, Shen Bei's face turned cold and he scolded, "Stop making trouble, there are so many distinguished guests watching us."
Afterwards, regardless of Qi Xin's shocked and angry expression, he waved to Liu Ling and ordered, "Go and see where Miss Nan was supposed to sit in the first row."
Liu Ling looked at Qi Xin, lowered his head, and stammered, "This..."
Shen Bei softened his voice, "It's okay, go get the seating chart and show it to me."
Liu Ling looked at Qi Xin with a shrunken look, and cried, "Mr. Shen, I..."
Shen Bei knew that Liu Ling was afraid of Qi Xin, and he became even more dissatisfied with Qi Xin. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of Qi's father talking to someone else coming from outside the crowd.
"What's going on!" Qi's father pushed through the crowd and walked in with a dark face.
Shen Bei briefly explained the situation and then completely shirked his responsibility, leaving all the responsibility on Qi Xin.
Standing next to Qi's father was the president of the charitable foundation under the Yu Group. His heart skipped a beat after hearing this, fearing that President Yu would blame him. After all, it was he who recommended the Qi family as the organizer and persuaded everyone to vote unanimously. If anything went wrong, he would definitely be implicated.
The president of the charity foundation bowed slightly to President Yu, then said expressionlessly, "President Qi, is this what you meant by a proper event? Didn't you betray my trust in you? This kind of problem has never occurred in previous events."
Qi's father flattered and smiled, then angrily scolded Qi Xin, "You useless piece of shit, why don't you quickly arrange a seat for the distinguished guest?"
The president of the charity foundation smiled faintly and said, "President Qi really loves his daughter. This is the first time I see the children of the organizer putting themselves in the first row. If this gets out, won't everyone think that President Qi is abusing his power as the organizer?"
When Qi's father saw the nameplate of Qi Xin's seat on Qi Xin's desk, his face felt burning with pain and he angrily slapped Qi Xin, "You idiot!"
Qi Xin covered his face in disbelief and cried softly.
Shen Bei advised: "Dad, Xinxin is still young and doesn't understand things. Please don't get angry and hurt your health."
Father Qi became even angrier, "Still young? How can a nearly thirty-year-old be so willful and arrogant? It's all because of me who spoiled her!"
Qi Xin retorted unhappily, "What do you mean thirty? I'm still two years away from that age."
Father Qi was so angry that his heart ached. "Shut up!"
Qi Xin shut up in grievance.
Father Qi turned to look at Nan Tao, "It's Xiao Tao, why didn't you tell Uncle Qi that you came?"
Nan Tao put on a fake polite smile, "You are so busy, I am sorry to bother you."
Yu Zhengyang coughed lightly.
The president of the charity foundation quickly interrupted Qi's father and said, "Let the auction begin."
Father Qi angrily took back his words and said, "Xiao Bei, go see where Miss Nan is."
Shen Bei quickly brought over the seating chart, "Next to President Yu."
The guests who were watching the lively gossip around exclaimed and looked at Qi Xin in unison.
Qi Xin's face turned pale and blue. She bit her lip and lowered her head, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Father Qi angrily scolded, "Useless thing, why don't you make room for Miss Nan? Why are you still sitting there? Are you making fun of yourself?"
Qi Xin was angry but dared not say anything, and gave up his seat with grievance.
Nan Tao smiled and said, "Thank you."
Qi Xin clenched his fingers and sat back in his seat in the third row dejectedly.
As the organizer, Father Qi greeted the important guests in the first row and asked Shen Bei to prepare for the auction.
After a while, the lights in the conference hall went out, leaving only a beam of light at the podium on the left side of the front stage. As the auction speaker explained the auction items, the PPT screen on the big screen on the stage turned pages synchronously.
Nan Tao stared at the big screen intently.
【Ahhh, can you please hurry up? When will Liu Ling go on stage to explain?】
[I'm so anxious. How long are you going to talk? I'm almost falling asleep. ]
【Okay, this one is finally over, and the next one is on stage. 】
[When will it be Liu's turn to auction the items?]
[I waited so long that the flowers all wilted.]
Yu Zhengyang listened to his wife's complaints and turned his head to look over from time to time.
Nan Tao noticed his gaze, sat up straight, and took out her cell phone to send a message.
Peach is not Pumpkin: What are you looking at? What if someone finds you? Stop looking.
Yu Zhengyang: My wife is lovely.
Peach is not Pumpkin: Your painting style has changed suddenly recently, please maintain your cool personality.
Yu Zhengyang raised the corners of his lips slightly and lowered his head to edit the text message: I won’t look at you anymore.
Peach is not Pumpkin: Liar, you were clearly looking at me just now.
Yu Zhengyang: How do you know I am looking at you if you don’t look at me?
Peach is not a pumpkin: I am angry. Angry Pumpkin.jpg
Yu Zhengyang: Pat on the head.jpg I won’t look at you anymore.
Nan Tao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had finally behaved himself. At this moment, Liu Ling stepped onto the podium with a USB drive in her hand.
【Ahhh, Liu Ling is on stage. 】
[The exciting moment has come, come on, I'm rooting for you. 】
[I should beat Qi Xin first and then Shen Bei. ]
Yu Zhengyang rubbed his temples helplessly.
Nan Tao's eyes lit up as she stared at Liu Ling opening the PPT, then she turned her head and looked back at Qi Xin and Shen Bei who were sitting in the third row and knew nothing about it.
[Hahaha, Shen Bei is still trying to coax Qi Xin. ]
[What expression will Shen Bei have if he finds out that the baby in Qi Xin's belly is not his? ]
Liu Ling on the stage also looked at the two people in the third row, then opened the PPT, "Hello everyone, I am Liu Ling, on behalf of the Liu family, I would like to introduce to you the products donated in this charity auction, I hope it will bring surprises to everyone."
Nan Tao covered her lips to hold back her laughter.
【Hahaha, what a surprise! It was obviously a shock.】
【Liu Ling is really good at speaking. 】
【Ahhh, Liu Ling is turning the page in the PPT. 】
[Oh my god, amazing, it turns out to be like this, hahahaha, Liu Ling is simply a genius, it's a pity that she didn't go into the film and television industry to be an actor. ]
On the stage, after Liu Ling turned the page of the PPT, she saw that the private photos of Qi Xin and a male college student were playing on the big screen. She was immediately panicked, her eyes turned red with fright, and tears were rolling in her eyes, threatening to fall.
The guests in the audience saw the chaotic scene of men and women on the big screen and their eyes widened in excitement. Their gazes switched back and forth between Qi Xin, Shen Bei and the big screen, and they all whispered to each other to express their opinions.
"Oh, I usually see these two people being very affectionate and showing affection, but I didn't expect Shen Bei to have a green head."
"Poor Shen Bei, what a good family man he is, capable and loving to his wife, but in the end..."
"There's nothing we can do. Who can blame Shen Bei for not having a background? He can't compare to my wife's family, which is powerful and influential."
"I didn't expect that the daughter of the Qi family would have such fun in private. It's really immoral."
