"Oh you already had enough? What would happen if their PDAs gets even more intense later on? I told you not to come, but you were the one who insisted on coming . You're basically spending money to be tortured," Wei Liao mumbled .
Many rich and famous people were invited to GK's charity dinner . Whether you received an invitation depended on how successful you were .
The point of this dinner was obvious – GK auctioned things, and you pay for them in the name of charity .
The reason why so many people were willing to attend was so that they could suck up to GK and its new president, in hope of future collaborations .
Su Yu, on the other hand, didn't have to come at all . He was in the entertainment industry, and GK had yet to invest in this area .
He came because the name of GK's foundation was the 'Mian Foundation' .
Su Yu knew that it was named after Huo Mian, so he had to come, and he dragged Wei Liao along with him .
"You can start now," Qin Chu ordered .
Then, the MC walked to the center of the stage and began his opening remarks…
"The first item we have is a white sandalwood fan from the early Qing period . It's a part of GK's Chairman's collection . We'll be starting the bid at 300,000 yuan . "
"300,000 yuan . "
"350,000 yuan…"
"450,000 yuan…"
The rich businessmen began bidding against each other; in the end, the sandalwood fan was sold for a sky-high price of 600,000 yuan .
Huo Mian looked from below the stage; she was happy because she knew that all the funds they collected tonight would go to the Mian Foundation .
Then, the money would be used to build schools and provide food for the children living in the poverty-stricken Yunding Mountain area .
An hour had passed, and the items were slowly auctioned off .
"Are you hungry?" Qin Chu whispered by her ear .
"A little . "
"It'll just be a while longer, we'll go get dinner once this is over . "
"Okay . " Huo Mian nodded .
Their fingers interlocked as they sat in the front row and watched the auction go on .
Finally, the MC announced, "Now, I would like to show everyone here our last item up for bid . It is GK's newest line of jewelry, co-designed by the company's seven renowned designers . Its name is 'Prosperous Adolescence' .
