 Xi Qing didn't expect to meet Gong Xiqiao here. When he saw Qiao Lanfen sitting opposite Gong Xiqiao, he turned his head and said a few words to the people behind him, then walked towards Gong Xiqiao.

"Aunt Qiao, hello." Xi Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, trying her best to make her smile more natural.

"Mr. Xi," Qiao Lanfen recognized Le Xiqing with a gentle smile on his face, "Have you eaten yet? If you don't mind , sit down and use it together."

Xi Qing glanced at a few people not far away, and said regretfully. : "Thank you auntie, it's just a little unfortunate today. I've already made an appointment with a few friends. I 'm really sorry, next time I invite you to apologize to you."

"You and Xiao Qiao are friends, so don't be so polite," Qiao Lanfen said with a smile , "Since you have made an appointment with a friend, then come to our house when you have time, and treat it as a visit between friends."

"Okay, I will definitely come to visit," Xi Qing smiled warmly. He bent down and whispered in Gong Xiqiao's ear, "I accompany a few elders to dinner today. Next time, we will make an appointment alone ."

Gong Xiqiao looked back at a few people not far away, all of them in their sixties. With a sense of pampering and pampering all over his body, he made up his mind: "It's okay, I'm just shopping with my mother. I happened to be here to eat something, you can do your own thing.

" But the face was not revealed, and after apologizing to Qiao Lanfen again, he returned to his companion.

"It seems that you have a really good relationship with this Mr. Xi." Qiao Lanfen smiled. As Xi Qing, if he didn't 't have a close relationship with Xiao Qiao, how could he be so polite to himself.

She has been in contact with many people over the years, and has also dealt with nobles from aristocratic families. People from an aristocratic family often hide their pride under the mask of politeness. They are impeccably elegant, but always make people feel a sense of being looked down upon.

However, Xi Qing's courtesy towards her just now did not maintain the illusion of elegance and politeness, but respect from the heart.

"He's a good guy," Gong Xiqiao said after hesitating, "I like him a lot."

Qiao Lanfen smiled and nodded: "I appreciate such an excellent young man."

Gong Xiqiao smiled and said nothing.

In the box, Xi Qing glanced over the elders, but did not speak. He didn't speak, it didn't mean that the other people were calm, after a short silence, the thin and thin old man who was the oldest of them spoke up: "I heard that our family's property and the Bai family's side have been torn apart. After saying

these few words, he saw that Xi Qing did not respond, so he became more confident: "Although our Xi family has a bad relationship with the Bai family, but when it comes to the public, it will not look good, and let others I saw the jokes of our family. Isn't this... not very good-looking?"

Xi Qing picked up the purple sand teapot, poured himself a cup of tea steadily, and slowly opened his mouth after the other party finished speaking speaking : "Several uncles The reason you came to see me this time is for the Bai family?" The

thin old man hesitated for a moment, considered his tone, and tried his best not to let Xi Qing feel that he was dictating Xi's decision: "We don't mean to oppose you. , it's just a small talk."

"I understand your worries, but the Bai family has become more and more public in the past six months. After cooperating with an overseas company recently, he ignored the rules of the circle and offended a lot of people. Man," Xi Qing slowly turned the teacup in his hand, "since he's here to provoke me, how can I not let him get his way."

The two of them looked at each other in dismay after hearing the words, knowing in their hearts that Xi Qing had made up his mind, so they did not dare to say more. If Xi Qing's father was the head of the family back then, they could still express their opinions, but this nephew's methods are not as gentle as his father's.The ignorant people in the family have already learned a lesson. They are old, but they don't want to make Xi Qing unhappy and make the whole family have a bad life.

People are so strange sometimes, in the face of mild people who are picky, and in the face of ruthless people, they don't have any opinions.

They didn't want to talk about it on business, and they didn't want to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so they simply changed the subject , "The young man you met outside just now, is your friend? It looks like some famous little artist. ."

Xi Qing: "Yeah." I

feel like I can't talk about this topic anymore.

Several elders spent very little time with Xi Qing, and there was no so-called blood relationship. Today, they rushed to find him because of the Bai family affairs, and have begun to regret it. Seeing that Xi Qing doesn't seem to have any interest in talking about the little artist now, they don't mention it anymore. They are just a little curious about how Xi Qing can be friends with an artist.

Delicious dishes came to the table, finally relieving the embarrassment in the atmosphere . The dining table culture of the flower country has a magical power, and any emotion or embarrassment in front of the food can be temporarily overcome.

After eating a lunch that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, when Xi Qing walked out of the private room, she saw that the table where Gong Xiqiao was sitting had already had new customers. He was a little disappointed in his heart, walked out of the Fengxiang Building, looked at the gloomy sky, and remembered that inn on a cloudy and rainy day.

"Boss," the bodyguard opened the car door for him and whispered, "When Shao Qiao and Mrs. Qiao came out just now, I heard them mentioning tonight's charity party."

Imperial Capital holds a charity party every year, provided by celebrities from all walks of life. The items are then auctioned on the spot, and all the money from the auction will be donated to charities.

This charity gala is not only a place for rich people to show their sympathy, but also a place for comparison. You say you have money, but you are reluctant to donate something by photographing something. Does that make sense?

Therefore, although this party is full of fame and fortune, it does indeed bring benefits to those in need.

On such occasions, the family has always been the highlight, so Xi Qing would sometimes appear in person, and sometimes he would send a representative.

"I see, " Xi Qing bowed towards the bodyguard, "Wait for someone to bring my dress over."

Gong Xiqiao received the invitation letter for the charity party separately from his parents. In his current capacity, he is alone. It is not surprising to receive such an invitation.

When he arrived, the scene was already dressed in fragrant temples, and it was very lively. There were also quite a few reporters from TV stations present, who wanted to grab a few celebrities for interviews and make headlines.

Just less than two steps away, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was the superstar Gu Nan.

Then Gong Xiqiao saw Gu Nan walking straight towards him. Although he was a little puzzled, a friendly and respectful smile appeared on his face: "Brother Nan."

"Young Master Qiao, good evening." Gu Nan's face His smile was very bright. When he saw the media coming, he took the initiative to embrace Gong Xiqiao's shoulders and let the media take pictures.

Facing the camera, the two laughed 360 degrees without dead ends, although they both knew in their hearts that they were not familiar with each other at all.

Some media came forward to interview what the two had donated. Gong Xiqiao didn't rush to answer, but after Gu Nan answered, he kept a humble attitude and said, "The things I donated are not as meaningful as Brother Nan, only one picture. A painting and a ring, I hope I can get a good price by then, so that I can prepare more funds for poor children."

Compared with the fame in the entertainment industry, Gu Nan can throw Gong Xiqiao two streets away, but in terms of economic strength, Gu Nan may not be able to compare to Gong Xiqiao. Fortunately, Gong Xiqiao was very protective of Gu Nan inside and out, and he didn't say how much the things he donated were worth, which saved Gu Yingdi from being embarrassed by him.

In the eyes of the media, Gu Nan's news value is naturally higher than Gong Xiqiao, so they didn't ask in detail. After everyone asked Gu Nan a lot, they let the two of them enter the gate.

"What's Qiao Shao's number?" Gu Nan's tone was very gentle, and the whole person showed a gentle and elegant taste, not pretending to be a superstar, but more like a caring eldest brother, "If it's a coincidence, We can still sit together."

But unfortunately, Gong Xiqiao is No. 46, he is No. 41, and there is a distance of 5 seats between the two.

"It's a pity," Gu Nan said with a bit of regret on his face, " I wanted to sit with you."

"There will be opportunities in the future," Gong Xiqiao said with a smile, "but next time Brother Nan, don't call me Joe. Young, just call me Xiao Qiao."

Gu Nan smiled heartily: "After returning to China, I attended the premiere of "National Industry", and your performance as Admiral Zheng was amazing, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to work during this time. Communicate with you well. If you have time, we will definitely talk more."

"My acting skills are not proficient enough, I will make you laugh." Gong Xiqiao showed shyness on his face, and performed a good performance of a person who was praised by superstars. younger generation.

After the two praised each other for a few more words, they took their seats separately. After sitting down, Gu Nan didn't forget that there were a few people in the middle and smiled at him.

Gong Xiqiao recalled and smiled ,but he was vaguely defensive.The living environment in the previous life made him develop a habit, that is, people who rushed up to show hospitality inexplicably were suspicious in his eyes.

Even when Xi Qing invited him to dinner as soon as they met, he doubted it for a long time, not to mention the artist who was hinted by Xu Chao that might offend Xi Qing.

The charity gala began, and the opening was the performance of the rescued children. In Gong Xiqiao's view, their performance was stiff and nervous, but after the performance, he still applauded earnestly.

Then the auction started, and most of the things put up first were designer bags, hats, shawls and the like.The autographed T-shirt donated by Gu Nan was photographed by one of his local tyrants at a high price of 780,000. This price earned Gu Nan enough face.

Gong Xiqiao raised the sign several times, but nothing was photographed.

"The next auction item is a beautifully crafted men's black gemstone ring, with a net weight of 3 carats of gemstones, high-quality cut and luster, and a noble look when worn on the hand. It was donated by Mr. Gongxi No. 46. The reserve price is 100,000, and the auction starts."

The price of black gemstones varies, and the different materials and cut gloss are the key points.The scene was full of rich people, so when they saw the picture of the ring on the big screen, they knew the auction item in their hearts. Although this ring is not a rare treasure, it is very beautiful in workmanship and design. It was auctioned. The base price of 100,000 is already considered an extremely low price.

Mr. Gongxi on No. 46, isn't it Gongxiqiao?

Therefore, when the auction of this product started, it quickly attracted countless people bidding. Most of the people who participated in the auction were actually women. Although this men's ring was useless to them, it did not affect their enthusiasm for bidding at all.

The lively auction scene once again made people understand that face is very important.

After several rounds of bidding, this ring, which is worth less than 150,000 yuan, has been bid for more than 400,000 yuan. According to the enthusiasm of the women on the scene, the price will continue to rise.

Xi Qing looked at the enlarged photo of the ring on the screen and raised the number plate in his hand.

"One million and two hundred thousand!" The

ladies turned their heads angrily. Who would be so ignorant to snatch the things that beautiful men had worn on their bodies from them? But when they saw who was holding the placard, the anger in their hearts disappeared without a trace.

President Xi and Shao Qiao are good friends, and the money is reasonable and reasonable.

When Xi Qing opened this mouth, whether other people were distressed about money or dared not argue with him, no one continued to bid.

Gong Xixiong whispered in Qiao Lanfen's ear: "Why does this President Xi have such a good relationship with our son? " Is it stupid to spend ten times the price for a ring that does not fit his finger size?

Qiao Lanfen raised his eyebrows: "You're a father, you're not as generous as someone else's friend."

Gong Xixiong: Does this make sense? What's the point of taking back the things that his son donated as a father? ?

"Mr. Xi is so bold," Bai Zhong sat next to Xi Qing's seat. He sneered at the brocade box containing the ring in Xi Qing's hand, "I'm willing to spend such a sum of money for a shabby ring."

Put the brocade box on it

Putting it in his suit pocket, Xi Qing didn't dislike the box at all, and the suit pocket was bulging. After doing these actions, he said calmly, "Thank you for your compliment." , the painting "Winter Snow" donated by him became one of the final auction items, and it aroused the interest of many people as soon as it appeared.

Snow, red plums, and shadowy figures of women. This is an uncomplicated painting, but it has an indescriptible mood.

Many people present expressed great enthusiasm for this painting, whether they really understood art or pretended they knew art well.

"One million." In order to show his wife that he still supports his son, Gong Xixiong quickly shouted a high price of one million .

It's a pity that someone immediately exceeded the price he gave.

"One and a half million," Bai Zhong lazily held up his number plate, and when he heard someone's bid was higher than his own, he was not angry, but instead said to Xi Qing with a smile, "This young master Qiao is not only good-looking. , and talent, no wonder you admire him, even I am interested in him."

Xi Qing glanced at him blankly, her deep eyes couldn't see the slightest emotion.

"Three million." Xi Qing held up the number plate, and after hearing Gong Xixiong quoted the price of 3.1 million, he hesitated for a while, and did not bid any more.

It was neither him nor Gong Xixiong who finally took the picture of "Winter Snow", but a member of the Xue family.

At the end of the party, when the party was about to leave, Xi Qing said to Bai Zhong with a sullen face: "Mr. Bai cherish the present day."

Hearing this, Bai Zhong was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, he only saw Xi Qing leaving. The back of the man was so choked that he couldn't spit or swallow, and even the smile on his face was distorted.
