The girl calmed down a little while holding the fruit candy in her mouth. Her eyes wandered carelessly, and she inadvertently glanced at the tall foreign man not far away from her.
The other party seemed to see her little tricks and opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn't believe that she would be lazy and do little tricks at the banquet.
Qiao Nian ignored her and looked away casually, bit into the candy in her mouth, licked her lips, and stared at the movement on the stage with her dark eyes.
Sure enough, within a few minutes of her distraction, the speech of the noble Miss Sipol was over.
Immediately afterwards, a person in charge came on stage without stopping and told the people below that an auction was going to be held, and part of the proceeds from the auction would be donated to charity.
Qiao Nian had seen the so-called wealthy auctions in Ring City before, and what they said was not half or more than what netizens thought.
In fact, it may be ten thousand, it may be fifty thousand, or one hundred thousand.
A seven-figure auction item can be used to donate tens of thousands, which is considered good.
Tens of millions of auction items may lead to a donation of 100,000.
As for this charity gala, it goes without saying that the process is the same. Just donate a few dollars to show your face.
In fact, all the proceeds from the auction go into the pocket of the person doing the auction.
Tonight's auction is of a certain standard, and with Nie Qingru coming, the auction items will be expensive.
There are tourmalines, diamond necklaces, jewelry with historical collectible value, etc.
During this period, Nie Qingru held up a sign to take a photo of a set of collectible pearls and jewelry. After whispering a few words to the staff around her, someone came up and announced that she would donate all the jewelry to compensate the families of the crew members who had recently died on the high seas.
The price of this set of jewelry is in the eight figures.
Nie Qingru spent a lot of money, which was not very grand, but it was still generous, which was in line with her status.
Her act of donating eight figures of jewelry on the spot won a lot of praise. The big screen was pointed at her face, and Nie Qingru only nodded slightly, looking very proud and noble.
Qiao Nian lowered his eyelids and put his hands in his pockets to count the time.
The dinner lasted for almost two hours.
Except for Nie Qingru, who took out a set of jewelry to show off, several members of the big family held up auction signs at one time, looking leisurely and determined to win, obviously waiting for the final collection.
Qiao Nian knew what they were waiting for, so she calmly waited for the things she sent to be photographed to be released.
The eyes of the foreign man who had been observing her from time to time had been attracted by the lively auction on the stage.
He looked feverishly at the seven- and eight-figure bids and never thought of her again.
Qiao Nian was so happy that she just leaned against the wall and watched the excitement.
After several rounds of auctions, the final collection finally appeared tonight.
The members of several big families who had received the news all became serious, sat upright and stared at the 'thing' being pushed onto the stage.
The hostess pulled open the golden velvet covering it to reveal the box underneath, which contained a snow-white pill.
Compared to the previous priceless jewelry that shone dazzlingly under the light, this medicine looked a bit inconspicuous.
At least to ordinary people, this is not as valuable as the box containing diamonds.
But the eyes of the big shots present lit up as soon as the flannel was lifted, and the excitement that could not be concealed on their faces was much more fanatical than the diamonds and jewelry before.
"Our last lot today is a pill sent by the Pharmacy Association for Mr. K. The starting price is 30 million."
