Meng Na stood in front of the mirror, applying makeup and nodding impatiently.
"Okay, okay, Sister Han, you've been saying this all this time, and my ears are getting calloused. Don't worry, I'll go have a drink with the editor-in-chief soon."
Speaking of this, Meng Na suddenly stopped for a moment, then looked at Han Hui and said.
"By the way, have you seen where Mr. Xiao is sitting? As the spokesperson of their company, I should go and say hello to him later."
"Meng Na, can you please calm down? What is the occasion today? Also, didn't you watch the live broadcast? Mr. Xiao came with Director Mo just now. If you go to find Mr. Xiao, aren't you asking for trouble?"
Han Hui couldn't complain about this Meng Na. Mr. Xiao had a family and had never shown any kindness or hint to her. Why didn't this silly woman refuse to give up?
Seeing Han Hui say this, Meng Na just rolled her eyes and said.
"Why don't I stop? I'm just saying hello. Miss Mo has a big personality. There's no need to argue with me, a little star."
With that said, Meng Na packed her things and then straightened her dress. She looked at Han Hui, who was frowning, and gave a soft smile, walked up to Han Hui and said.
"Sister Han, don't worry. I promise not to do anything. I just went to say hello. Let's go. The dinner is about to start."
After that, I heard the sound of high heels, getting farther and farther away.
Mo Yurou pushed open the small door of the toilet room and walked out. She glanced in the direction of the door, a wicked smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, then she touched up her makeup and returned to the banquet hall.
"Why have you been gone so long?"
As soon as Mo Yurou returned to her seat, Xiao Zichen came over to ask.
Mo Yurou did not answer immediately, but looked up and behind her. Two or three tables away from them, Han Hui took Meng Na and the editor-in-chief of New Fashion to sit at the same table. They were chatting animatedly.
, it seems that Han Hui, the agent, is really responsible.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Zichen saw that Mo Yurou ignored him and looked towards her, and looked in the direction she was looking. However, at this moment, someone at another table stood up, blocking Xiao Zichen's view.
Mo Yurou also looked away at this time, took a sip of the water in front of her, and then said something.
"I didn't see much. I just met someone I know and had a casual chat."
After a while, the dinner officially started, and as tonight's organizer, Shen Leyi and Zhao Ke'er's mother took the stage together. In addition to being an unusual charity dinner, tonight was also a succession ceremony for the new and old leaders of the Charity Federation.
In the center of the stage, Shen Leyi stood there dignifiedly, her red lips slightly parted, holding a microphone and chatting. It was nothing more than setting some goals for her term of office. As for whether these goals can be achieved in the end, it seems that she has never been able to achieve them.
People really cared.
There are many charity dinners like this in Los Angeles every year. Basically, they are rich people or people with status showing off their status. Those who really keep a low profile and focus on charity basically have their own charity foundations, such as
Yaohua and Sino-Ocean have their own charity projects every year.
After some opening, we entered today’s theme, the charity dinner. The dinner is the second and the main is charity. This year’s theme is caring for left-behind children. The funds raised tonight will be used for the construction of Hope Primary Schools in poverty-stricken areas.
This kind of fundraising is usually done through auctions.
After a while, the entire venue turned into a large auction site. However, on this occasion, because there are people from all walks of life, these items are not too expensive, generally ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.
The maximum amount cannot exceed 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
In fact, this was Mo Yurou's first time to attend such a dinner. In the past, when her father was there, her stepmother would be attended by her father. But last year, Ming Haozhe and Jiang Yucheng were the representatives of Yaohua, so today she actually
I am quite curious about these processes today.
The auctions at the beginning were all about clothes and bags, and the people who donated these were basically celebrities in the entertainment industry. However, these donated clothes and bags all have a certain collection value, otherwise you can just take something out casually.
It will make them drop in price.
"Did you come last year too?"
Looking at the boring bidding on the stage, Mo Yurou gradually lost interest. After all, those things were not attractive to her at all.
Xiao Zichen leaned lazily on his chair and looked at his phone boredly. Hearing Mo Yurou's words, he nodded and said.
"Well, I came once, but left midway. Why, did you feel bored?"
Xiao Zichen saw Mo Yurou's thoughts.
Mo Yurou nodded and was about to speak when Shen Leyi, Mrs. Zhao and several people in charge from the Charity Federation came over carrying wine glasses.
Seeing this, everyone at their table raised their glasses and stood up, also interrupting Mo Yurou.
Mo Yurou took a look and saw that someone was coming over to offer a toast. Out of politeness, she couldn't just sit there, not to mention that there was Zhao Keer's mother inside.
"Yurou, Mr. Xiao, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come."
Mrs. Zhao walked between Mo Yurou and Zhao Keer and looked at Mo Yurou with a kind face. After saying this, she whispered to Mo Yurou.
"Yurou, we Kel have caused a lot of trouble for you and Mr. Xiao some time ago. Let's make an appointment to have dinner together some other time."
"Aunt Wanting, you're welcome. Cole and I are best friends. It's hard to say whether it's troublesome or not. In the future, as long as Aunt Wanting doesn't mind me being troublesome, I will definitely go there often."
"What's the trouble? Auntie will be happy as long as you come. Come, I respect you and Mr. Xiao."
With that said, Shu Wanting raised her glass and took a sip.
At this time, Shen Leyi walked over, but she walked to Xiao Zichen's side.
I saw Shen Leyi holding the wine glass, looking at Xiao Zichen with a shy smile, and her tone of voice was no longer as serious as before.
"Brother Zichen, please forgive me for my poor greeting tonight. Brother Zichen, sister-in-law, I'd like to toast you a toast."
Shu Wanting was slightly surprised by Shen Leyi's change in attitude. She glanced at Shen Leyi, frowned slightly, and then asked pretending to be curious.
"Miss Shen knows Yu Rou and Mr. Zi Chen Xiao."
When Shu Wanting asked, Shen Leyi smiled, almost leaning against Xiao Zichen, and said with a smile.
"Chairman Shu, you don't know yet. My mother and Aunt Zhen are best friends. When I was a child, I lived at brother Zichen's house for a while, but I lost contact with her when I went to Kyoto with my parents."
After hearing this, Shu Wanting suddenly understood and gave a meaningful hum.
Zhao Keer on the side couldn't stand the green tea expression on Shen Leyi's face, so he leaned close to his mother and whispered.
"What's the reason for the lack of contact? No contact at all. This woman is not a good thing at first glance."
As soon as Zhao Keer finished speaking, she felt a pain in her waist. Shu Wanting pinched her gently and then gave her a look.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat your food."
After all, tonight was a dinner hosted by the Charity Federation, and she didn't want her daughter to ruin the dinner.
Zhao Ke'er was scolded by her mother and was about to retort when Mo Yurou winked at her. Zhao Ke'er could only remain silent.
At this time, Xiao Zichen spoke, first quietly moving to the side, then gently hugging Mo Yurou, and then said lightly.
"Miss Shen's mother and my mother-in-law are indeed old acquaintances, but we have not contacted each other for many years. Miss Shen and I have not seen each other for more than ten years, so we cannot be said to be familiar with each other."
These words slapped Shen Leyi in the face. Everyone present was a cunning fox. They all understood the meaning and looked at Shen Leyi.
Shen Leyi's expression froze slightly, then she smiled and said in a natural manner.
"Brother Zichen is right, but although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, the friendship we had when we were children is still there. I believe we will become more and more familiar with each other if we keep in touch in the future."
With that said, Shen Leyi walked up to Mo Yurou, holding the red wine in her hand, looking at Mo Yurou with a gentle and non-aggressive expression, and said softly and kindly.
"Sister Yurou, I heard from Chairman Shu that Yaohua Group has helped a lot with the Charity Federation's activities over the years. I haven't been back to Los Angeles for many years. I'm new here. I still have a lot to learn from Sister Yurou in the future. Yes, I hope Sister Yurou will not find me troublesome."
This is the one she sang again. Before, she was my sister-in-law. Why is she called so kindly now, Sister Yurou? But she, Mo Yurou, has no intention of recognizing this sister.
But she didn't want to hit the smiling person, let alone today. Since she wants to act, she will accompany him to the end. She will act soon. She, Mo Yurou, is also the boss of an entertainment company. She has never studied acting. Haven't you seen it yet? Perform?
Mo Yurou's eyebrows were half lowered, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she showed a graceful smile. She picked up the juice in front of her and said.
"Ms. Shen, you're welcome. I see that we are about the same age. You don't need to call me sister, just call me by my name. As for doing charity, everyone has a responsibility. It doesn't matter who helps whom. As long as you have a heart. , we will definitely do a good job. I believe that under the leadership of Miss Shen, the Charity Federation will reach a higher level in the future."
Isn't it just telling lies without conscience? As long as she, Mo Yurou, is willing, she can turn white into black and black into white.
Mo Yurou knocked back the question several times, and Shen Leyi realized that she was afraid that she was no match for the woman in front of her. She knew the current situation, and when she saw that she couldn't get any advantage, she was ready to start elsewhere.
No, when he saw Mo Yurou holding the juice, he started to think of making things difficult for Mo Yurou.
"Sister Yurou, how did you drink the juice? The wine for today's dinner was flown in from France. Why don't you pour a glass to try it?"
With that said, Shen Leyi winked at the waiter beside her, and the waiter immediately came over with red wine.
But at this time, Shu Wanting stopped the waiter who was about to pour wine for Mo Yurou and said with a kind face.
"Miss Shen, Yurou can't drink, just let her drink juice instead of wine."
