Roaming in the world of film and television

A few elites who had something to do with the financial industry saw Lin Yue sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of wine and laughing. They introduced them first, then exchanged greetings and compliments. relation.

Andy couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he forced a smile to deal with it, got up and left with a glass of wine.

Tan Zongming came up to meet him, looked at the scale of his watch, and looked at Director Lin who was surrounded by several financial people, and said in a low voice: "If you don't think it's interesting, you can leave, there's no need to force yourself."

Andy sighed: "I'm fine, I just can't stand the hypocrisy of these people, I'd rather be like just now..."

Tan Zongming asked: "What happened just now?"

"The two of them said bad things about me without any scruples just now." Bao Yifan turned around and said.

Only then did they realize that there was Mr. Bao from the Bao Group among the group of people standing next to them.

Tan Zongming said, "What's going on?"

"You know, that person's mouth is worse than Qu Xiaoxiao's. If he is dissatisfied with someone, he never cares about the identity of the other party." Andy explained with a smile.

Tan Zongming actually has a deep understanding of this point, even more than Andy - that guy not only has a poisonous tongue, but also hurts when he hits people with his fists.

"Hey..." Bao Yifan laughed like a fool: "But even if it was said by beautiful Andy, I would take it as a joke."

Andy shook his head with a wry smile, completely speechless about Bao Yifan's thick skin.

"Andy, Andy."

With a touch of red floating into the field of vision, Fan Shengmei walked up to Andy, first smiled with Tan Zongming and Bao Yifan, turned her face and said, "Let's go?"

On the way to the reception, she clearly said that she would show her face and stay for a while before leaving. It was dark outside now, but Iron Lady, who said she was not used to this kind of occasion, had no intention of leaving at all.

Andy glanced at Wang Baichuan, who was talking enthusiastically with several participants, and knew that the arrival of Lin Yue and Lin Yue made Fan Shengmei unhappy.

She pondered for a moment, then took out the car keys: "If you are tired, you can drive me back first, and I will ask Lao Tan to give me a ride after the show is over."

Fan Shengmei thought for a while and said, "Okay."

After speaking, he took the car keys from Andy's hand, twisted the big red handbag and left the venue.

Tan Zongming didn't care why Fan Shengmei left, he was very surprised why Andy changed his temper: "This doesn't match your previous performance, I want to know what you are expecting?"

You must know that she refused to participate in similar activities more than once. When she was in New York, she pushed as soon as she could.

Andy said: "I'm not expecting anything, I'm just curious about what kind of auction my male neighbor brought, and he confidently told me that it will fetch the highest price in the auction."

"Oh?" Tan Zongming's appetite was also whetted when he said this. Yes, he and Lin Yue had a bad relationship, but for this matter, curiosity was more than hostility.

Bao Yifan didn't express his opinion, he glanced at the man on the sofa while holding his glass of wine, his eyes rolled for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after Fan Shengmei left the reception, a woman in a white evening gown walked up to the big screen, held the microphone and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, next is the charity auction of the reception, and the funds raised will be handed over to China The Charity Federation is used for the education of children in impoverished mountainous areas and the medical expenses of patients with serious diseases who have practical difficulties.

The elites gathered in twos and threes in the hall heard the words and stepped forward. Amidst a burst of warm applause, two young and beautiful girls carried out a black pine potted plant and put it on the wooden table in front.

"This black pine potted plant is called Chaoyun, and it was donated by Mr. Sun Xiuwen from the City Writers Association. Please take a look, does its crown look like floating clouds in the morning sky?"

Speaking of this, the host paused and said, "This first item has a starting price of 7,000 yuan, and the price will increase by 1,000 yuan each time."

As soon as the voice fell, Mr. Zhang, who had talked to Andy at the door before, raised the sign in his hand.

"On the 18th, the gentleman bid 7,000 yuan. Is there any higher price?"

"7000 yuan once, 7000 yuan twice."

"8,000 yuan, Mr. No. 47 bid 8,000 yuan, okay, 8,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan once..."

In the end, the black pine bonsai was sold by a man wearing glasses at a price of 11,000 yuan.

Next is the second lot, which is still invited by two girls. According to the host's introduction, it was donated by Mr. Wang Lao from the Municipal Calligraphers Association, and the starting price was 5,000 yuan.

Like the first lot, this painting was bought by a man in a casual suit for 38,000 yuan.

Wang Baichuan looked puzzled: "That picture is just average, ten thousand is the sky-high, thirty-eight thousand? I really don't know what that person thinks."

Lin Yue glanced at him: "What they buy is not a painting, but a chance to meet a writer. Do you know what that person does?"

"What are you doing?"

"It is said that he used to be a middle-level leader of Baosteel. He has retired, but he has children..."

Lin Yue didn't say the latter, but Wang Baichuan understood.

Next is the third lot.

The fourth lot.

Fifth lot.

...

This kind of reception in the name of charity will not have any high-quality products, and the participants are not stupid. It is reasonable to buy tens of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to show your face, personal connections, and peace of mind as a rich person—just like Qu Xiao It's like feeding those stray cats, no amount of it will be cost-effective.

Charity has always been a business for them.

Of course, no matter how ugly some people look, it is a good thing to benefit poor families in the end. This is why Lin Yue said that he can bear it even if it is disgusting.

Soon, the eighth lot was held by a girl and walked up to the front desk. Wow, there was a lot of discussion from below, because this item is too ordinary, let's talk about its value... ten yuan? twenty dollars? A hundred dollars is a premium.

The hostess glanced at where Lin Yue was standing, and cleared her throat: "This lot was donated by Mr. Lin, Director of the Investment Banking Department of Huaxin Securities. Everyone has seen it. This is a picture album. According to Mr. Lin, it is Painted by an orphan with acquired mental retardation, it was originally given to him as a gift, but after consulting the author, he decided to donate it to raise money to improve the living environment of the welfare facility where the original owner was located , the starting price of the album is 3,000 yuan, and each time the price is increased by no less than 1,000 yuan, the auction starts now."

"3000, Mr. No. 15 offers 3000."

"4000, 4000 for Ms. 38."

"5000, the lady quoted 5000."

"7000, okay, the lady in purple will offer 7000."

"8000, another lady."

"9000, man number 22."

"..."

Wang Bochuan stared at Lin Yue in a daze. He was puzzled by two things. The first one was also the hardest to understand. The ladies at the scene were very passive when bidding for the first few lots. People look sideways? Overwhelmed with love? is there any other reason?

Second, some men also joined in the auction for the picture book. The atmosphere was not to mention hot, but hot. What is going on?

Wang Baichuan didn't know the reason, Bao Yifan knew it, at least he knew the second one.

Because they had ideas about Red Star, the Bao family collected a lot of information about Lin Yue, including the content of his contacts. In the financial circle, this guy is a legend. There are no financial products he cannot sell, and there is no such thing as his Business negotiations that can't be handled - he can always make the transaction parties have a happy result. Securities companies such as CITIC and Huatai are deliberately trying to recruit him, with an annual salary of seven figures plus dividends, and some companies and individuals are desperately trying to establish a good relationship with him, so as to use his contacts and negotiation skills to open up business The key point in the business, now that the host announces the origin of the eighth lot, those who want to have a good relationship with Lin Yue will certainly not miss the opportunity to sell favors.

"30000."

This shout doubled the price, and many people followed the reputation.

Bao Yifan smiled and nodded to some familiar faces, to clarify his identity, and also to tell them that Bao Yifan took a fancy to the album on it, and if he didn't have enough interest demands, give him a face, and don't argue.

"40000."

At this time, Qu Lianjie, who was sitting at the back, raised his hand, and this action attracted a lot of sideways glances, and they whispered to each other about who this person was, and how he would fight with President Xiao Bao, until someone inside told him that Boss Qu and President Lin were close to each other. Because a project was very unpleasant, the former should hope to buy the picture book to show favor and improve the relationship between the two.

Bao Yifan frowned, and was about to tell the auction host about the new bid, but unexpectedly something happened on the spot that he didn't expect.
