Chapter 932 Luo Xiner

  As night fell and the lights came on, the Convention and Exhibition Center by the Victoria Harbor was brightly lit, and there were even more cars and people in front of the gate. Apparently a big party is going to be held here tonight.

  Although this was just a charity dinner, the crowd at the entrance of the convention and exhibition center was no less than that of the Academy Awards ceremony. The scarlet carpet covered the entire road, and the spotlights almost illuminated the place as bright as day. Dozens of cameras followed and filmed the whole process, and the screams of crazy fans on both sides of the carpet were almost shocking.

  The reason why this charity gala has such a big momentum is that the organizer has invited most of the stars in the entertainment circle, so the influence is so sensational. In the past few years, the entertainment circle has also become keen on charity activities, which are used to add points to the image. The charity gala this time is to donate money for the protection of the ancient cultural heritage in the mainland. Although most of them have a worrying education level, it does not hinder their enthusiasm for participating in the gala.

  Naturally, this kind of party will also send some invitation cards to the rich in Hong Kong as a courtesy, after all, they are the real sponsors. But generally speaking, these rich people are not very willing to appear in such a dinner party, because sharing the stage with the stars is a kind of depreciation behavior for them. Of course, if it is a dinner held by the Hong Kong government or the Hualian Office, that is another matter.

However, there are still some rich people who will attend, those rich people who are very close to the entertainment circle, if they are not high-profile and love to play, for example, an old rich man who is known for his flair, this time he will appear at the party The scene; or it is to support the artists under the banner, such as Li Ergongzi, it is said that he is dating a certain well-known female artist, this time it is naturally for the other party's face.

Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan were a little embarrassed, because they didn't get along well with the entertainment circle, and they didn't know most of the guests present, so after signing the registration book, the two of them honestly, under the guidance of the hostess, Sit quietly in your place.

  The internal venue is about half the size of a football field, and it is decorated magnificently, elegantly and luxuriously. According to the specifications of the dinner, more than a dozen round tables were placed in the center of the venue, and the guests were seated according to the previously arranged positions. Naturally, there will be no real banquet here. The various tableware on the table are just for show. All the tables and chairs are facing the rostrum directly in front, which is the real scene of today's party.

   One after another, several more guests sat at Zhong Shi's table, including several celebrities who were often seen on the screen, both men and women. They are very social, constantly chatting with those around them, whether they are intimate or not. It's just that they wanted to come and talk to Zhong Shi several times, but they were politely refused. So soon Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan became deserted again, and of course they didn't mind it very much.

   "Why didn't you see Li Zehai?"

  Looking around the audience, Zhong Shi didn't find the figure of Second Young Master Li, so he couldn't help asking curiously, "Didn't you say that he will attend this party?"

  Li Zehai is Li Jiacheng's second son, who had dealt with Zhong Shi before. Later, after his company went public, it expanded rapidly, and its total wealth was once close to that of his father. He was called a new generation of "Superman". But the good times didn't last long, and soon his company's valuation dropped rapidly, and now he only has a net worth of several billion Hong Kong dollars.

   Even though his net worth is not very rich, but with the aura of the second richest man, Li Zehai has great influence no matter whether he is in the upper class or in the common people.

   "This Street Fighter wants to take this opportunity to curry favor with Li Sheng!"

Zhong Shi's words happened to be heard by a male celebrity surnamed Hu on the opposite side. A half-smile expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said to a female celebrity surnamed Zhou next to him, "I don't know this kind of person How did you get in? Hey, the security of the meeting is getting worse and worse!"

  The female star surnamed Zhou stared at Zhong Shi with her eyes wide open for a long while, and finally said shyly, "That man is quite handsome, if only I could sleep with him all night."

   "You are not ashamed, you still don't forget to seduce men!"

The neglected male star surnamed Hu was furious and reprimanded him in a low voice, "If you want to catch someone here, you have to make your tricks brighter. If you meet some reporters who sneak in in disguise, your reputation will be completely ruined." destroyed!"

  Some time ago, there was a big event that caused a sensation in the entertainment industry. A newly promoted female star was secretly engaged in prostitution, but was secretly photographed by a reporter in disguise. After the video was released, the female star was immediately ruined and completely disappeared from the circle.

  When thinking of this incident, the female celebrity surnamed Zhou immediately shuddered all over, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

   "Probably hasn't come yet!"

Regardless of how this couple of dogs and men slandered Zhong Shi in private, Jiang Shan also looked around, but did not see Li Zehai's figure, and immediately said disapprovingly, "The more important the person is, the more he will appear in the finale. I think Li Zehai considers himself the most important guest, so he will show up right before the start."

  Zhong Shi smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the rostrum, and stopped thinking about Li Zehai.

  He approached Li Zehai just to inquire about the situation of the media. But since the other party is not there, he will not deliberately look for it again, the other party is not qualified enough for him to take the initiative to visit.

   Not long after, the lights in the conference hall gradually dimmed, and the charity gala officially began.

   "Thank you for coming!"

  A handsome male host in a tuxedo came out amidst the spotlights. He was Bi Jingxian, a well-known TV host in Hong Kong. Bi Jingxian first said a few words to thank everyone for their attendance, and then changed the topic, and fell on the theme of this party, "Our country has a history of 5,000 years, and a rich and splendid culture has been born. There are many ingenious buildings, Cultural relics and even art have become the carriers of our country’s long history and splendid culture. For example, Huizhou-style buildings, such as Peking Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Simuwuding. These are the treasures of our nation and are worthy of the pride of our children and grandchildren.”

"It's just a pity that not all cultural carriers can be preserved intact. For example, this ancient building, according to research, it appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and its architectural style is not the same as we usually know. This is Because at that time, the product of the fusion of nomadic and farming cultures was of great significance in related cultural research. But it is a pity that the building in front of us has become crumbling due to lack of protection and attention.”

In line with his explanation, a severely damaged ancient building appeared on the screen behind him. The stone railings were covered with moss. Because of the perennial wind and rain, it has become seriously tilted, as if it would collapse with a little force.

"According to our statistics, there are 221 such historic buildings across the country, and the annual repair and maintenance funds are about 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It is a huge expense at the beginning of the year. The purpose of our charity gala this time is to raise 10 years of repair and maintenance costs, which is 300 million Hong Kong dollars. This money will be kept and used by the Greater China Charity Fund, and we will appoint A professional audit office will review the money, and try to ensure that every money from the benevolent people can be used for the restoration of these cultural heritages.”

After talking eloquently for a long time, Bi Jingxian finally said, "Today's charity auction is all donated by everyone here, including private collections, calligraphy, movie props, precious photos, etc. Of course, during the bidding process You can also take out the things you want to bid and participate in today's charity. I hope you can actively bid and make a contribution to China's cultural protection."

  The audience burst into warm applause.

   "We don't seem to have taken anything?"

  After hearing Bi Jingxian's words, Jiang Shan became a little nervous. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said to Zhong Shi, "Why is there such a link?"

  Neither of them noticed that in the invitation letter of the charity party, there was a detailed introduction of the charity auction method.

   "It's nothing!"

  Zhong Shi didn't panic too much, raised his wrist and took off his watch, "Just take this to bid, I think it should be enough for one year's maintenance fee!"

   This watch is a limited edition of Patek Philippe, only fifty dollars in the world. The market price is as high as 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is still a price but no market. To obtain such a watch, in addition to its own strong financial resources, it must also be recognized by the Patek Philippe manufacturer. Naturally, these are not problems for Zhongshi.

  Jiang Shan's heart became a little more stable.

   "Next, we invite the first guest to bid, the newly-elected actress of the Academy Awards, Miss Luo Xiner!"

  While speaking, there were already movements on the stage. Bi Jingxian invited actress Luo Xiner to the stage with a smile on his face, "Let us welcome today's first guest, and let her give us a good start."

  The follow spotlight hit Luo Xiner immediately.

   This is a girl in her early twenties, her face with light makeup cannot hide her youthful aura. Her eyebrows are like distant blacks, her lips are like cherries, and her skin is thicker than fat. Her two white arms are as white and tender as lotus roots, with only a little bit of crisp shoulders exposed. Feeling a bit out of harmony.

  Seeing this scene, Zhong Shi's head suddenly thumped, and all other sounds and images disappeared, and Luo Xiner was the only one in his field of vision. At the same time, his heart began to beat violently.

   "Good guy, just like us, nothing is prepared!"

  Luo Xiner didn't seem to realize that she would be pushed to the fore by the host. She stood up in panic, looked around helplessly, and finally could only bite the bullet and walked forward, but her hands were empty.

Seeing someone who was as unprepared as himself, Jiang Shan gloated and said to Zhong Shi, but after a while he realized that Zhong Shi didn't seem to respond to his words, and immediately looked at him strangely, only then did he realize that Zhong Shi's There was a strange color in his eyes, which he had never seen before.

  Waved his hands in front of the opponent several times in a row, Jiang Shan pulled Zhong Shi back from his intoxication, "Hey, what are you looking at?" He joked, "Is Luo Xiner so good-looking?"

"Do you believe in fate?"

  Zhong Shi held Jiang Shan's hand tightly, and said emotionally, "Yes, this is fate. She is my true destiny!"

  Seeing Zhong Shi losing his composure, Jiang Shan gasped and was speechless for a while.

   "Sorry, I didn't bring anything today."

  Luo Xiner on the stage didn't realize the abnormality on Zhong Shi's side. She pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, and said to the audience with a little helplessness, "Why don't I sing a song for everyone?"

   There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.

  Naturally, although rapping and singing are also acceptable, they will never bid too high a price. If the first auction ends at a low price, it will obviously not mobilize the emotions of the subsequent bidders.

   "How about this, if anyone can bid higher, Miss Luo will send him a sweet kiss."

  Looking at Luo Xiner, who was flushed and at a loss, Bi Jingxian had no choice but to stand up and smooth things over, and offered a solution, "Of course, a kiss on the cheek. I don't know if Miss Luo agrees or not?"
