Hearing this answer, Mu Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shen Di, and then said: "He has an important meeting today, and he probably won't be able to leave for a while."
"Ah?" Shen Di frowned slightly, "Does that mean Mr. Huo won't come?"
When Mu Qian heard this, she just smiled and said, "He will come."
With just four words, Shen Di inexplicably felt like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food, and couldn't help but reply, "Are you so sure?"
Mu Qian rolled her eyes at her again and just said: "Let's go, get ready to start."
Shen Di shrugged and called all the staff to follow Mu Qian into the venue.
The venue was full of guests and already very lively.
Mu Qian smiled and greeted everyone who was seated, and walked all the way to the front.
As Shen Di said, everything that should come and what shouldn't come has already come.
It was time for the party she had carefully prepared to begin.
Mu Qian sat at the head table. In addition to Rong Juan, He Jingchen, Fu Chengyu and others who had already been arranged, her tablemates were Ye Jinfan and Lu Tang beside her.
Lu Tang was obviously very satisfied with Mu Qian's seating arrangement. When Mu Qian sat down, she even smiled at Mu Qian.
Mu Qian also smiled back, and then said to Ye Jinfan: "Brother Ye didn't donate any auction items to me. Please raise your hands later, otherwise I won't welcome you."
"Don't worry." Before Ye Jinfan could speak, Lu Tang took over and said, "He just came back from other places. He heard about your charity auction party and wanted to come over to cheer you up. He will definitely do it later. I will raise my hand."
After hearing this, Mu Qian showed a slightly surprised look, "Did Brother Ye give you face like this? I'm really touched."
Ye Jinfan turned to look at her, smiled faintly, and said, "I don't have to give anyone's face, but I will definitely give it to you, Qianqian."
Mu Qian couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
At eight o'clock sharp, the party started on time.
After a simple opening remarks, the host invited Mu Qian to speak on stage.
Mu Qian came on stage and took the microphone. Before she could speak, there was already thunderous applause.
Mu Qian raised her eyes slightly and saw Ye Jinfan looking at her quietly. Even though Lu Tang beside him gave her two symbolic applauses, he still looked unmoved.
Mu Qian looked back and said with a faint smile: "First of all, thank you for attending tonight's charity auction party. This auction is mainly to raise funds for disabled people around the world, especially those with eye diseases. I hope Everyone's kindness can give them hope to see the world clearly and help them regain their sight as soon as possible."
Thunderous applause rang out from the audience again. Mu Qian paused for a moment before continuing: "This charity auction is actually held in the name of a deceased friend of mine. Everything was fine during her lifetime, except for her eye disease. Leading to an accident——"
Ye Jinfan narrowed his eyes slightly, but still maintained a faint smile on his lips.
"So, in order to bid farewell to her and commemorate her, I organized this charity auction." Mu Qian said, "Thank you for everyone's generosity. Giving is more blessed than receiving. Doing good deeds will bring you good fortune."
After Mu Qian said a few simple words, the charity auction officially began.
There are a total of eighteen auction items in this auction. After each auction item comes on stage, the donor will explain its value and origin. Since each donated item is a treasure, the atmosphere at the scene is very warm.
However, when the fifth auction item appeared on the stage, there was a burst of confusion.
Mu Qian then went on stage again and took the auction item in her hand.
"As you can see, this is a watch, and it is just the women's watch among a pair of couple's watches. As I just said, this charity auction is to bid farewell to and commemorate my friend, and this watch
This lonely watch belongs to my friend." Mu Qian smiled and said, "The time passed by this watch represents her past, and starting from today, I hope she can bid farewell to the past completely and rest in peace forever."
As soon as Mu Qian finished speaking, someone raised their hand and bid: "500,000!"
As soon as the bidding started, there was a lot of back-and-forth and bidding began.
Although the value of this watch is only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, it is what Mu Qian brought out after all, and all of the people here are here because of her identity as Mrs. Huo, so no one is willing to lag behind, and they all want to show off to Mu Qian.
Show this face in front of Qian.
After a while, the bidding price reached one million. When Lu Tang saw this, he couldn't help but complain in Ye Jinfan's ear: "Are these people crazy? They are asking such a high price for a broken watch."
Ye Jinfan had no expression on his face, he just looked at the watch in Mu Qian's hand quietly.
It was one of the couple's watches that he personally bought from the Swiss factory in 2012. Ye Xi liked it so much that she wore it for several years. Even if she got more and better watches in the future, she would still wear it for several years.
The one I wear most often is still this one.
After a while, the asking price approached two million.
On the stage, Mu Qian smiled elegantly at the bidder, with a gesture of silent thanks.
Ye Tang still sneered, "A bunch of lunatics."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jinfan suddenly raised his hand, "Three million."
As soon as the bid came out, the whole place suddenly became quiet.
A watch originally priced at 300,000 yuan, the asking price of 2 million is already the limit, but he actually asked for 3 million as soon as he asked?
Ye Tang yanked Ye Jinfan's sleeve, "What are you doing? I don't even want such a broken watch if you give it to me!"
Ye Jinfan didn't look at her, just looked at Mu Qian on the stage.
Mu Qian looked surprised on the surface, but actually her eyes were calm, even with a hint of mockery that only Ye Jinfan could see.
Until the auction hammer falls, the final word is given.
Mu Qian then reached out to take the phone and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Ye for your generosity and raising 3 million yuan for us. Mr. Ye, good deeds are rewarded with good deeds."
Ye Jinfan laughed, but the expression on his face did not change much.
When the twelfth auction item appeared, Mu Qian took the stage again.
“This is a 5.21-carat Burmese natural pigeon blood ruby ring. As we all know, rubies symbolize noble and pure love, representing beauty, eternity and steadfastness, and the number of carats of this ring perfectly fits this meaning.
"Mu Qian elaborated, "This ring also comes from my friend who has passed away. Although she has left, her beauty, permanence and steadfastness will remain in our hearts forever. And what this ring represents
Its beautiful meaning should continue to be spread."
Under the stage, Lu Tang suddenly took Ye Jinfan's hand and said, "This is quite pretty."
Ye Jinfan raised his eyes to meet Mu Qian's gaze. Although there was still a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
