Chapter 364 Donate Items
To be honest, Gao Jiu didn't want to show his face when he came to Wuhan. Just like the last time he came to Wuhan, he used a pseudonym. The only people who knew that he came to Wuhan were military personnel and old friends. no acquaintances.

He asked: "Mr. Rogers, didn't you tell them?"

"Certainly not. I know you don't want to reveal your identity. How could I do that?" Carter Rogers shook his head vigorously, as if he felt aggrieved by Gao Jiu's distrust of him. He said, "Don't you still trust me?" ?"

Gao Jiu said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just asked casually, don't take it to heart."

Carter Rogers is the representative of Mi Fang in this donation ceremony. He will definitely participate in related activities. Xiao Yatong was invited by Carter Rogers to assist him in organizing this event.

Xiao Yatong hoped that Gao Jiu would accompany her to this event, saying that he used an alias anyway, and no one knew him.Gao Jiu has always obeyed the eldest lady's request and is willing to follow her as a volunteer.

However, what I didn't expect was that the Aviation Committee invited Gao Jiu to participate by name, and Gao Jiu hesitated instead.

Seeing Gao Jiu's face, Xiao Yatong knew that he was in trouble, so she said with concern: "Ah Jiu, otherwise you should not go."

Xiao Yatong came to Wuhan, he was unfamiliar with the place, and Gao Jiu was very busy, so he didn't have time to accompany her, for which he was full of apologies.This time, he finally had the opportunity to help her do something, but such an unexpected situation disrupted his plan, and he felt even more guilty.

After thinking for a while, Gao Jiu said: "I'd better go. From now on, our company in the United States will cooperate with Mr. Rogers and their comprehensive company - Voltey Company to produce aircraft. I will go to the Aviation Committee to get acquainted, so we can sell aircraft in the future." give them.

Besides, the person who invited me wrote my pseudonym on the invitation card, presumably he would not reveal my identity. "

Xiao Yatong understood Gao Jiu's intentions and knew that he wanted to accompany her, so her heart was warm.She felt that what Gao Jiu said made sense, so she didn't try to dissuade him.

After lunch, Xiao Yatong came to Gao Jiu and asked him to accompany her to buy jewelry.This time the aircraft donation is half buy, half free, and the Aviation Committee still has to pay part of the money.In order to alleviate the shortage of funds, the Aviation Committee intends to hold a fundraising event to raise this part of the funds.

The aviation committee is chaired by the wife, not only that, the wife took the lead in donating several pieces of her own jewelry in this fundraising event, and she hoped that the female family members who attended the fundraising event would follow her example and donate their own jewelry, and the auction will be held on the spot, and the proceeds will be collected The funds are used to purchase these aircraft.

Xiao Yatong usually doesn't deserve to wear jewelry, she only wears one or two pieces of jewelry on formal occasions, she took some jewelry with her when she went out this time, but they were all left to her by her mother, she was reluctant to take these Donate jewelry.So, let Gao Jiu accompany her to buy some jewelry for donation.

The Fifth War Zone gave Gao Jiu a brand new Ford sedan. They were very thoughtful and gave the car a military license plate from the Fifth War Zone.

Gao Jiu drove this car and accompanied Xiao Yatong to buy jewelry.

The two came to a jewelry store run by the French. A French clerk saw a pair of handsomely dressed young men and women coming, and rushed to greet them.

At this time, Xiao Yatong was holding Gao Jiu's arm, they looked like a couple.

The clerk said in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Dear Madam and Sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

Gao Jiu took out an ocean and handed it to the clerk.The clerk accepted the tip and said happily: "Our store has three floors, and different floors have different types of jewelry."

Xiao Yatong said: "Take us to see the ring first."

Xiao Yatong came prepared this time, she hoped to reveal the marriage between her and Gao Jiu.So, she took Gao Jiu directly to the counter of the wedding ring.

The female clerk at the counter was very enthusiastic, with a small round face full of smiles, she was just about to introduce jewelry to Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu, Xiao Yatong said: "I don't need to trouble you, I can just look at it myself."

She looked at it for a while, pointed to a diamond ring on the counter, and said, "Please take this out."

The female shop assistant took out the diamond ring, Xiao Yatong put it on her hand, held it in front of her eyes and looked at the diamond ring carefully.

The female shop assistant originally wanted to recommend this ring to them, because this ring is the most expensive one in this jewelry store, and she immediately said happily: "Ma'am, sir, you really have vision, this ring is the most expensive one at present. The most popular in French high society, this lady is beautiful and noble, this diamond ring suits you best."

Xiao Yatong ignored her and raised her hand for Gao Jiu to see.This ring is beautiful and elegant, with a big diamond in the middle, shining brightly under the light, and it matches Xiao Yatong's slender and fair fingers very well.

Xiao Yatong asked: "Ah Jiu, do you think it looks good?"

Gao Jiu said, "It's pretty!"

Xiao Yatong said, "I like it too."

Gao Jiu heard Xiao Yatong say this, and immediately said to the clerk: "How much is this ring? We want it!"

"99888 French currency." The female clerk said.

Gao Jiu took out a central bank money order and gave it to the female shop assistant.

Xiao Yatong smiled and asked, "Ah Jiu, are you not worried that I will donate such an expensive ring?"

Gao Jiu knew this young lady very well. She came from a family of merchants, and she was also a shrewd businesswoman herself. She would not do such a thing.He smiled and said, "I'm willing to do whatever you want."

Xiao Yatong smiled charmingly, and when she wanted to say something, her face suddenly turned red.However, after hesitating for a moment, she still said, "Ah Jiu, this is a wedding ring, did you give it to me?"

The meaning in the middle of these words was very clear, it was like asking Gao Jiu if he proposed to her.

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Miss! Of course it is for you. Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will find a way to help you get it down."

Xiao Yatong was very relieved in her heart, and smiled sweetly at Gao Jiu.She didn't need the female shop assistant to pack it anymore, she just put it on her hand and didn't take it off.

Then, she pointed to a men's ring on the counter and said, "Take out this ring."

The female shop assistant was very excited. Based on her experience, this ring should be able to be sold, so that she can get a large commission.She took out the ring very courteously, and said, "This gentleman is handsome and suave, and this ring matches you very well."

Xiao Yatong picked up the ring, grabbed Gao Jiu's big hand, and helped him put it on his finger.Asked: "Ah Jiu, do you like it?"

Gao Jiu took a serious look, and said solemnly: "I trust your vision, I like whatever you choose."

Xiao Yatong said to the clerk, "How much?"

The female clerk said excitedly: "88888 French currency, this number is also very auspicious."

Xiao Yatong took out the wallet from her handbag, took out a money order from the American Citibank, and handed it to the female clerk.

After the female clerk went to the counter to exchange, she gave the change to Xiao Yatong.At this time, she was already happy in her heart, and was thinking about how much commission she could get.Xiao Yatong's next words made her even more happy from ear to ear.

Xiao Yatong said: "Choose some more jewelry for me."

For donations, the items donated by the donor must be in line with their own identities. It does not mean that the donated items are expensive.

Those who participated in the donation auction were all dignitaries, and the items donated by the wives were to match the identity of their husbands or her own family background.Therefore, Xiao Yatong bought a few mid-range jewelry for donation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the second day, the donation ceremony of General-Volte Corporation to the Aeronautical Committee and the donation of military aircraft officially began.The Deputy Secretary-General of the Aviation Committee and Carter Rogers delivered short speeches on behalf of the Aviation Committee and Consolidated-Voltee respectively.Then Xiao Yatong, the spokesperson of Comprehensive-Voltee, introduced the content related to the donation of military aircraft.

Afterwards, the spokesperson of the Aviation Committee stepped onto the stage. Like Xiao Yatong, the spokesperson of the Aviation Committee was also a young and beautiful woman.

When Gao Jiu saw this woman, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and thought, "How could it be her?"
