Chapter 763
The auction was the last part of the charity ball . The proceeds from the auction would be used to help civilians and orphans in war-torn areas . In addition to the "Pearl of the Pacific" by Julian Schnabel, there were many things Jiang Chen was interested in at this auction . If the prices weren't too far off, he intended to take a few pieces of artwork back to hang at home .
Natasha had been criticizing him as classless . Although Jiang Chen himself didn't think he was that bad, since he had the opportunity now, it would be better to buy a few pieces of art and fake it . Of course, in addition to these artworks, several rich people also said they would auction off some collectible items . The organizers didn't disclose what these were, drawing people in with the mystery .
Not wanting to chat with the organizers for too long and since Mr . Galloway also had other guests to greet, Jiang Chen took the initiative to end the conversation .
When he walked into the venue with Xia Shiyu holding her hand, the party had already begun .
The magnificent, elegant and gorgeously decorated hall was surrounded by transparent graphene boards . The reflection of the blue sea and blue light added a touch of mysterious coolness to the venue .
Waiters with champagne moved between the long tables and crowds to present guests with wine and towels . This submarine restaurant was one of Penglai's famous attractions . Whether it was the decorations, service, or food on the table, it was built according to a three-star Michelin level, which made it a "it's worth a special trip to visit" restaurant…
At the party, Jiang Chen saw many acquaintances and many strangers greeted him .
What surprised him most was that he actually saw Carmen Rothschild here . This guy quietly came to Penglai City to participate in a charity party without telling him in advance .
When he saw Jiang Chen, he greeted him with a warm smile while showing off his glistering teeth and shook Jiang Chen's hand, full of energy .
"We meet again, my old friend . "
"Haha, it's been a long time . " Jiang Chen smiled and let go of his hand . "This is my partner, Ms . Xia Shiyu . "
"Hello, Mr . Rothschild . " Xia Shiyu smiled .
"I'm honored to meet you, beautiful and wise Ms . Xia . Your male companion is really an enviable guy . " Carmen made a joke with great demeanor .
Xia Shiyu smiled politely and courteously, but it was obvious she was still very fond of compliments .
Jiang Chen also followed with a smile then said, "How are you, my old friend? Have you resolved the trouble on your side?"
From daily international news, the situation in Europe had become increasingly unstable . Last year, when Frankberg chose a new party to take power, the entire European political arena began to move to the right . Especially at the end of the year, several consortiums invested in the construction of refugee camps in the forests bordering Norway and Sweden . This completely ignited conflicts between cultists and mainstream society . . . and also incited conflicts between social justice warriors and the rest of society .
"My troubles will never end . " Carmen skillfully took a cup of champagne from the waiter's tray and made a toast to Jiang Chen . He self-mockingly shrugged and said, "It's like the champagne this evening . "
"Is there any problem in this world that the Rothschilds cannot solve?" Jiang Chen smiled, took some champagne and toasted Carmen .
"Of course there are . For example, there are problems that can't be solved with money . " Then, Carmen put the empty glass aside . "I recommend that you pay attention to the auction coming up; there are many good things for sale . "
"For example?"
Carmen only smiled mysteriously and didn't answer . He then went to join other circles .
Carmen's mysterious smile made Jiang Chen's heart itch, but since the auction was beginning soon, he didn't dig deeper .
Although the party was held in the name of charity, there was no shadow of charity at all at the party . In this kind of upper-class society, the common "hobby" of charity work was just a reason for wealthy celebrities to gather together, fulfill social needs, and meet business partners .
