Chapter 88 Taking Advantage
The event was held at the only Kaibingski Hotel in Beijinzhou. On the day of the event, Chu Qiao, as usual, wore outdoor clothes and took a small motorcycle taxi. When the motorcycle taxi stopped at the door of the hotel, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone entering the venue.
Chu Qiao was busy counting money for the guy on the motorcycle and didn't notice everyone's surprised looks.
The security guard outside the door looked Chu Qiao up and down, with doubts and more disdain in his eyes.
Seeing that the security guard had no intention of giving in, Chu Qiao said, "My name is Chu Qiao. Mr. Mo asked me to come here. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Security guard: "Where's the invitation?"
Chu Qiao was about to answer when a boy suddenly rushed out of the hotel. He was wearing a white T-shirt and looked clean and sunny. The boy shouted at her, "Miss Chu, over here."
Chu Qiao glanced at the security guard and walked straight into the venue without stopping.
As Mo Tao walked with Chu Qiao, he said, "The last time I saw you, I thought you were amazing. You dared to go deep into the fire like a little wolf. But last time your face was blackened. Today, I see that it's just as I imagined."
Chu Qiao turned around and looked at Mo Tao: "Were you the one at the fire scene last time?"
Mo Tao scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's me."
As they spoke, the two walked into the venue. As soon as they entered, Chu Qiao realized why the security guard had such a look in his eyes.
Inside the venue, all the men and women standing there were dressed in their best clothes. The men were in suits and the women they brought with them were all dressed up. The ones who were dressed the most simply were Chu Qiao and the animal association workers who were wearing the same T-shirts.
The lights were on and a man in a suit and tie, with a big belly and shiny hair sprayed with hair wax, walked out, picked up the microphone and gave a clichéd welcome speech.
"Hello everyone, I'm the host of this event, Zhang Yan, and the president of the Animal Protection Association. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this "Give a Little Love" event..."
Chu Qiao shook his head. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. A man who looked so ugly could actually rescue animals and was the president of an animal association.
Chu Qiao picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, and felt that it was not as delicious as the Orange Juice downstairs.
As Chu Qiao downed a glass of champagne, President Zhang continued to speak. "Among the guests attending our event today are Mr. Huang, CEO of Beijinzhou Fengsheng Technology Co., Ltd., who donated 30 million yuan to the association last year; and Mr. Li, CEO of Xiangtan Cable Co., Ltd., who donated 20 million yuan last year."
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows. No wonder he felt like he had entered a senior management exchange meeting. It turned out that these people were all very important.
Chu Qiao suddenly heard his own name.
"There's also our well-known wilderness anchorwoman, Miss Chu Qiao. Miss Chu just rescued a wolf cub from a fire a month ago. She's a member of our Animal Association."
"Member?" Before Chu Qiao could react, President Zhang's next words surprised her again.
"Of course, our Miss Chu Qiao's boss, Ms. Chen Ao, the only daughter of Mr. Chen Xiaocong, is also here. We welcome her presence."
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound as long guns and short guns were pointed towards the door.
Chu Qiao had to squint under the flash.
Chen Ao walked in wearing a very ordinary white shirt and black harem pants. Chen Ao had her curly hair tied up, which was not at all like her usual boss-like style of dressing.
Chen Ao waved at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao walked over and lowered his head and said, "Sister Ao, why are you here?"
Chen Ao rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm just supporting you, girl. Their president has been inviting me for several years, but I don't want to appear in this kind of occasion. Yesterday, they said you would come, and I thought that the people coming would be old witches. I was afraid that you would be eaten, so I came over and took a look."
Chen Ao was thinking in his heart: I’m just afraid that you, the girl, will be snatched away by another family.
Chu Qiao looked at Chen Ao with a sad face: "No wonder I don't have an invitation. It turns out that I was used."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's good to see the world."
"Now, let's start the second part of the activity. Everyone can communicate freely."
Chen Ao picked up the wine glass: "I saw an old friend and said hello. Take care of yourself."
As if it were a normal business routine, the people present began to move around, nodding, greeting, and exchanging business cards. Chu Qiao was an exception. She didn't nod, didn't exchange greetings, and didn't even have a business card.
Chu Qiao stood in the corner, his body straight, watching the people coming and going, with either hypocritical or flattering expressions on their faces.
"Chu."
When Chu Qiao turned around, it was Feng Zaozao.
"Why are you here?"
"Don't you know? There are a lot of talented people in the business world here. My brother couldn't come, so I stole his invitation to get in."
Chu Qiao smiled, Brother Feng was really dedicated to doing business.
"How is it, any harvest?"
Brother Feng was dejected. He just tried it. As long as he didn’t mention his brother, no one would pay any attention to him.
Chu Qiao's expression didn't change. He was not surprised at all. This was how the world was.
But seeing Feng Ge looking unhappy, Chu Qiao suddenly said, "It's not a complete loss. Don't you want to take a closer look at the wolf cub and draw some sketches?"
Feng Ge's eyes lit up: "Can I see him today?"
Chu Qiao: "We'll see you soon."
Feng picked up a glass of champagne and drank it. "That's great."
The venue gradually became lively as everyone drank and chatted.
A few young men suddenly carried in a few boxes. Everyone was busy entertaining people and didn't notice. Chu Qiao had nothing to do, so he saw the boxes under the stage at a glance. The boxes were covered with red cloth, as if it was an auction ceremony.
Chu Qiao instinctively suppressed his smile.
Brother Feng was still stuffing dessert into his stomach and didn't notice Chu Qiao's expression.
About a quarter of an hour later, President Zhang walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.
After a light cough, he said, "Today, we will mainly show you some of our latest rescued animals. We hope these little animals can heal you."
As he finished speaking, the staff on site lifted the red cloth from the first cage, revealing a shivering blue cat. Most of the women looked at him with affection.
Brother Feng tugged at Chu Qiao's sleeve. "How cute! It says on the cage that it was abandoned by its owner. How could such a cute cat be abandoned by someone?"
When the second red cloth was lifted, a litter of puppies was revealed. The puppies looked confused and were crawling around one after another.
The cage was cleaned very cleanly. Logically, such a small puppy cannot control when to defecate and just urinates according to its mood.
The organizers have put a lot of effort into this event.
Finally, they arrived at the third cage. This cage was bigger than the previous two. Chu Qiao waited for the red cloth to be lifted with a conflicted feeling. He wanted to see the clever little guy, but he was also worried that it was too wild and could not adapt to the environment here.
