Entertaining Children

After leaving Yin Xi's office, Xiao Yao returned to his residence and prepared his auction items at the charity auction party.

In the afternoon, Fang still called as expected, told Xiao Yao about receiving an invitation to the charity auction party, and asked Xiao Yao if he wanted to participate.

"Sister Xi has also received the invitation letter. She has already told me about this, and I promise to go with her when the time comes." Xiao Yao still said on the phone. Yin Xi has already promised, Xiao Yao naturally replied that Fang still said that he would participate.

"Understood," Fang still agreed, and continued, "The organizer of this charity auction party also said that in addition to inviting you to attend, they also want to invite you to perform on stage during the dinner. Sing a song for the guests present, and ask if you have any suitable new songs. This is not written on the invitation letter, they called me specifically to tell me, Miss Yin probably doesn't know, either?"

"Singing?" Xiao Yao hesitated, "Do you still want to perform? Who else will perform on stage besides me?"

"No." Fang still said with a smile, "Although there will be other stars in the entertainment industry at that time, the organizer has said that this opportunity to stand out is only given to you."

"Show the limelight? In the final analysis, giving money and things is still a contribution to the disaster area. What is it to sing on stage? If you can't get a penny back for the disaster area, don't do it! I don't want this opportunity to show off. Whoever loves to show off will go!" Xiao Yao Said, "Just tell them that I just came back from the disaster area, and my body and voice are not in good condition. I can't sing, so I won't perform."

"Okay," Fang still smiled wryly, "I'll reply them like this."

"Sing?" After hanging up Fang Yiran's phone, Xiao Yao pondered for a while, thinking that besides donating money, he should also write a song for the earthquake disaster.

Two days later, the banquet hall of the InterContinental Weiss Hotel in Shanghai.

This is the venue of the "Polaroid Star Charity Auction Gala". Before the gala started, quite a few media reporters had already gathered inside and outside the banquet hall.

Speaking of similar charity auctions, in Xiao Yao's impression that the highest standard and most influential in China in this life is the "Lishang Star Charity Night" organized and named by China's top fashion magazine "Lishang". Since the fourth session, the number of participating stars has exceeded 100, which is almost the same as the "Bazaar Star Charity Night" in the previous life. However, this year's "Lishang Star Charity Night" was held as early as the first half of the year. Xiao Yao also received an invitation at that time, but he happened to go to France to participate in the short film festival during that time. He was not in China, so it was justifiable. Refused.

This "Polaroid Star Charity Auction Party" was organized by a fashion magazine "Polaroid" headquartered in Shanghai.

This "Polaroid" magazine is one of the main competitors of "Lishang", and it is also backed by a large media group. Its own strength and resources are no worse than "Lishang". Evening party" is a later event than "Lishang", and this year is the first time to try it.

Although in terms of scale and influence, the charity auction party organized by "Baoli" is not as good as the five-time "Lishang" that has already produced a brand, but if we don't talk about the scale and number of people, only from the attendance In terms of star level, it is not much worse than the "Star Charity Night" of "Li Shang".

The theme of their charity auction party is to raise funds for the earthquake-stricken areas in Wuyou County, Sichuan Province. This earthquake had a great impact, and it is still the focus of China's domestic affairs, affecting the hearts of many people. So when they sent invitations to many first-line stars in the Huaxia entertainment circle, most of the stars also agreed to attend. Coupled with some star entrepreneurs and social celebrities, this less than three-figure star lineup is definitely enough to attract attention, so long before the party started, many media reporters were waiting here.

It is also because the theme of their party this time is to raise funds for the earthquake-stricken areas, and the earthquake has just passed, and the rescue operation has just ended. It's also not good to make this party too high-profile and lively.

Since it is doing charity, it is no problem to find the media to do publicity and reporting, but they have to cancel the red carpet show when the stars enter the venue, and at the same time, the singing and dancing performances at the opening stage like the "Lishang" charity gala also have to cancel. There was basically no preparation, and I only planned to let Xiao Yao go up and sing a song. Xiao Yao, a star who came back from the disaster area, had indeed participated in the rescue work in the disaster area. He was still different from others. As long as he didn't sing too happy songs, he probably wouldn't have any problems. After Xiao Yao refused to perform on the grounds that his voice was not good, they simply canceled the opening song and dance performance.

Since there is no red carpet show, there is no waiting area, and the entry of stars is much easier. After getting off the bus at the gate of the hotel, there will be special staff to guide the stars and guide them into the arranged seats in the banquet hall.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet hall was relatively solemn. The reporters inside and outside the gate of the banquet hall did not yell to attract the star's attention after seeing the star. They just called the star's name in a low voice, hoping they would come over. Allow yourself to take as many frontal photos as you can.

"Wow, Xiao Yao is here too!"

"Isn't he in the disaster area to rescue?"

"Your news is too closed. The rescue work has all ended and the troops have withdrawn to the station. How could Xiao Yao still stay there?"

"Xiao Yao seldom attends such events. He doesn't seem to have even attended an award ceremony."

"Tonight is to raise funds for the disaster area. He has been in the disaster area for so long, and he must have a very deep feeling. This kind of event must come."

The appearance of Xiao Yao immediately caused a burst of whispered discussions among the media reporters on the scene.

"Xiao Yao actually came with Yin Xi?"

"The two of them are partners in branding. They must have a good relationship. Isn't it normal for the two of them to come together?"

"Yin Xi is worthy of being a supermodel, she has such a good figure!"

"Xiao Yao standing by the side is not bad at all!"

"I heard that there is a ten-year age difference between the two, but they seem to be a good match!"

"It's not ten years old, it's twelve years old! But when they walk together, they really can't tell there is such a big age gap."

In addition to Xiao Yao, Yin Xi, who has a particularly prominent appearance, is also the focus of media reporters' attention, but when they talk about Yin Xi, they will inevitably bring Xiao Yao by their side.

Xiao Yao is dressed in black formal attire, with a calm demeanor, showing a sense of maturity beyond his age, while Yin Xi is only in his early thirties, and is still in his prime. As a model, she has always maintained herself well. She is younger than her actual age, and the white dress makes her look even younger. Yin Xi is 1.77 meters tall, and although she is wearing ten-centimeter high heels, she is slightly bent over while holding Xiao Yao's arm, and Xiao Yao is also 1.84 meters tall, with her head up and her chest up. The two walk together, no matter in terms of height matching or the temperament they exude, they are very harmonious.

When the pair entered the banquet hall, they not only attracted the attention of media reporters, but also caused the flashing lights on the scene to flash together, and also attracted the attention of some guests who arrived first in the banquet hall.

Under the guidance of the staff, Xiao Yao and Yin Xi walked to their seats and sat down. Before they had time to carefully look at the environment of the venue, someone came over to say hello.

"Miss Yin, Bayi, you are here too!" A middle-aged man came over and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said.

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Ren, hello. Xiaoyi is here too!" Xiao Yao stood up quickly and said. Standing in front of him was none other than Lin Qisan's father, Lin Shaohua, mother, Ren Xuan, and younger sister, Lin Xiaoyi.

In fact, Lin Shaohua is several years older than Xiao Siqi, so it stands to reason that such a close nephew and nephew as Xiao Yao should be called uncle in a proper manner. But Lin Shaohua always used the excuse that his uncle called him old, and forced Xiao Yao to call him uncle. Lin Qisan's mother is French, and Ren Xuan is just a Chinese name she chose herself, as long as Xiao Yao calls her by her Chinese name, and he doesn't care about the difference between aunt and aunt. After so many years, Xiao Yao is also used to calling them husband and wife uncle and aunt.

"Brother Bayi, you come with such a beautiful sister, aren't you afraid that sister Duo'er will be jealous if she finds out?" Lin Xiaoyi said playfully.

Lin Xiaoyi is two years younger than Lin Qisan. Although she didn't participate in "Where Are You Going, Dad" that year, she also participated in many private gatherings of five families. She became friends with Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Zhou Zhihao, and Sun Tingting on the show The children also know.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Shaohua glared at Lin Xiaoyi, and stretched out his hand to Yin Xi, "Miss Yin, I heard that Qi San often goes to your studio, so I think I've troubled you a lot."

"It's okay, you're welcome." Yin Xi stretched out his hand and shook Lin Shaohua, "Xiao Yao is my younger brother, and Qi San is Xiao Yao's brother, which is also my younger brother."

"Did you hear that?" Xiao Yao smiled and tapped on Lin Xiaoyi's head, "I think you are relying on your parents to spoil you, and you are becoming more and more unscrupulous."

"Why do my parents spoil me?" Lin Xiaoyi hugged her head and pouted dissatisfiedly.

"You see, your parents didn't bring your brother here, they only brought you here. Didn't they spoil you?" Xiao Yao said.

"Where? It's because my brother is busy dating and doesn't want to come." Lin Xiaoyi said, "I didn't want to come at first, but my parents didn't want me to be alone at home, so they insisted on bringing me along."

"Okay, okay, your daughter is caring, okay?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Dad, can we change to Brother Bayi's table?" Lin Xiaoyi turned to ask Lin Shaohua.

"No, these seats are all arranged by others, so it's not easy to change them casually." Lin Shaohua shook his head.

When organizing a banquet, how to arrange the seats of the guests is also very particular. The people at the same table are generally close in circles and classes, and there should not be too much difference. Embarrassing and uncomfortable, it is very likely that others will not come again next time.

"But our family has a very good relationship with Brother Bayi. It's not like they don't know. Why did they arrange us at different tables?" Lin Xiaoyi also understands these principles, so she continued to ask with some doubts. road.

"It should be to take care of Miss Yin." Lin Shaohua looked at the name signs of several guests on Xiao Yao's table. Although he doesn't have much contact with them, Lin Shaohua can also tell from those names that this table seems to be basically from the fashion circle.

Xiao Yao has been involved in many circles, not to mention singers and actors. Ever since he revealed his identity as a photographer on a TV show, and then helped the national men’s basketball team to take promotional photos, Xiao Yao’s contact with the domestic fashion circle has also become There are a lot more, and it can be regarded as entering the domestic fashion circle. Before arranging the seats, the organizer specifically asked Xiao Yao for his opinion. Xiao Yao came with Yin Xi, and he didn't want to embarrass Yin Xi, so he replied that he would come according to Yin Xi's arrangement, and he could just go with her. So Lin Shaohua really guessed right.

"Okay, let's go back first." It's not appropriate to stand here all the time, after saying hello, Lin Shaohua is ready to take his wife and daughter back to his desk.

"Goodbye, uncle and aunt." Xiao Yao said politely.

"Brother Bayi, I heard from my brother that you bought a warehouse and are going to change it into a loft. Remember to call me to play when it's finished!" Lin Xiaoyi said before leaving.

"No problem, when the time comes, I will notify your brother and ask your brother to take you with him." Xiao Yao waved his hand with a smile.

"Xiao Yao?" Not long after Lin Shaohua's family left, another acquaintance came over. The person who came this time was not particularly familiar with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao was quite surprised.

"Sister Ai?" Xiao Yao stood up again and said, "You are here too."

"Next week the ATP Masters match in Shencheng will start. I'm here to participate." Li Ai said with a smile, "You said that you would go to the scene to watch the match and cheer me on. Do you have time next week? Don't want me to give you my team's ticket?"

"I don't know yet," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'll go back and check the time of your game. If I have time, I'll call you and ask you for a ticket?"

"That's a deal!" Li Ai smiled and touched Xiao Yao's fists, greeted Yin Xi, and said goodbye to her desk.

"You really have a lot of acquaintances." After Xiao Yao sat down again, Yin Xi smiled and said to him, "It seems that I don't need to guarantee you. With you, Uncle Lin and this Chinese tennis player Sister is here, no matter what the lot you take out, they won't make your face too ugly, right?"

Not to mention Lin Shaohua, a big actor with a salary of several million. As the first sister of China Tennis, Li Ai has a lot of endorsements, and her net worth is also very rich. The media reported that she had donated one million to the disaster area a few days ago, and it would not be a problem to spend another few hundred thousand at the auction. Yin Xi paid attention to the incident at Heathrow Airport, and knew that Li Ai was helped by Xiao Yao, so he would definitely not let Xiao Yao lose face on such an occasion.
