After bidding for the shoes, the winner, Nickson, surprised everyone by appearing in front of a huge crowd.
Holding the pair of sneakers sealed in a transparent plastic cabinet in both hands, she went straight to guest number 8, Wells.
"Hi Mr. Wells, this is a gift for your 70th birthday! Hope you enjoy it!"
"I hope you can continue to write the best science fiction works for us, the global film fans and readers!"
Nickson, the veteran actor with a slicked-back hairstyle, held up the basketball boots with both hands and handed them to the white-bearded Wells.
Wow~
"How touching! It turns out he wanted to buy these sneakers as a gift for this science fiction writer!"
"I knew it! How could a famous movie star go against a writer or screenwriter!"
"So the two of them knew each other before, and they seem to be good friends!"
"I'm moved to tears. I long for a friendship like that."...
The scene where Nickson spent $370,000 to buy basketball star Bryant's signature shoes and personally presented them to his old friend, science fiction writer Wells.
It immediately captivated over 200 million viewers worldwide in the live stream.
"Thank you for the birthday gift, it's too much trouble for you. Actually, the reason I bid for these boots was to give them to my late wife."
"You know, she's a huge Lakers fan, and like you, she watches almost every game."
"Of course, I've been in the hospital for the past few years..."
"Moreover, today is also her birthday, and I hope to give her a surprise."
"But if she were here today, she might have advised me to give up from the start..."
Wells, the science fiction writer in his seventies, stood up shakily and accepted the sneakers handed to him by Nixon with a look of surprise on his face.
What followed shocked everyone present and brought them to tears once again.
This science fiction writer is not a basketball fan himself.
He wanted to buy these sneakers as a birthday gift for his late wife!
"Oh my God, I feel like I've watched a very touching movie..."
"A billionaire tycoon, after his wife's death, didn't seek a new love. Instead, he attended an auction, hoping to buy items belonging to his deceased wife's idol. What an amazing man..."
"Pay attention to the details! Today is also the anniversary of Mr. Wells's late wife's death; they were born on the same day of the same month!"...
Netizens were touched by the friendship between the two friends and Wells's devotion and loyalty to his deceased wife.
This once again sparked waves of heartbreaking sentiments online.
All of this was observed by Wang Yueheng, who was sitting not far away, and he was subtly moved.
He subconsciously glanced at Mo Zixue, who was sitting nearby.
Their meeting was nothing short of a magical twist of fate.
Unsurprisingly, the girl was secretly wiping away her tears, and then she also secretly glanced in my direction.
Their eyes met, and Mo Zixue smiled through her tears, then immediately turned her head away shyly.
"Mr. Wells also visited the Dragon Kingdom and was very fond of it."
"He is also a regular at every charity gala of the Overseas Chinese Business Association."
"This old gentleman was responsible for deciding on some of the filming locations for the latest 'Star Wars XI,' including Lishui in China..."
"It is expected that China will be an important stop in the global promotion of the film."
"Moreover, the old man was very devoted to his wife. It is said that he had always wanted to create a work in memory of her, but he hesitated to start writing because he was afraid he wouldn't do it well."...
Chamber of Commerce Director Yuan Jianfu then whispered the introduction to Wang Yueheng.
His words were full of admiration for this elderly science fiction writer.
Wang Yueheng said from the bottom of his heart: "He is indeed a writer worthy of respect!"
"The next item in this auction is a donation from Mr. Wang Yueheng, a singer from China!"
"This is a calligraphy work called 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'."
"Wang Yueheng, a member of the Dragon Kingdom Calligraphy Association, created and wrote this work specifically for this auction!"
"Next, let's welcome Mr. Wang Yueheng to the stage to present this work to us in a special way!"...
After the lively discussion subsided.
Auctioneer Ekaterin's captivating voice resonated throughout the hall once again.
Ah~~~
"Wang Yueheng!!!"
When I heard the name "Wang Yueheng".
The audience, who had just been moved by the friendship between Wells and Nixon, erupted in excited shouts once again.
