Meng Shao, you have today too

Chapter 60 No Participation
There are several large cameras standing near Meng Zexiao and the others. Reporters have been holding up the cameras to shoot non-stop. It is said that today's charity auction party will be filmed by a TV station, including entertainment reporters and financial reporters.

In the camera lens, Kong Lingxin has been smiling dignifiedly and gracefully. At this time, Kong Lingxin realized that laughing is also a particularly tiring thing. The stars earn hard money. Each of them shows six teeth to the camera. Facial cramps.

Then the host came to the stage again and said: "Guests, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to grandly introduce the most important lot tonight. This lot is Mr. Song Siyuan, the president of King Group China, a world-renowned company. Donated, everyone must have noticed the introduction in the auction catalog, this emerald jadeite bead chain is not only valuable because of its good color, but more importantly, it is still a very valuable antique. Eight countries When the coalition forces broke into BJ City, they took away a lot of treasures, and this string of emerald beads is one of them. After living overseas for so many years, they were finally brought back to their hometown by Song Siyuan, who is an overseas Chinese!"

After the introduction by the host, almost everyone at the scene was attracted by the emerald bead chain, and their interest in the original owner of the bead chain, Song Siyuan, also increased.

Someone whispered: "The King Group really came to invest in China with great sincerity. I heard that not long ago, Song Siyuan, the president of their China region, had just hosted a banquet for the two-term business and political celebrities of City B in his villa. The auction brought out such an expensive item again, which really caught the eye."

"Yes! I heard that the King Group is involved in a wide range of fields, including real estate, hotels, import and export trade, and even mineral development."

"It's amazing. It is said that the boss behind the King Group has Chinese descent."

"No way, if you have Chinese blood, why are you investing in China now? The King Group has only shifted its investment direction to Asia in the past few years. China is the last market they entered in Asia, so I think the boss behind the King Group is Chinese. Rumors of blood cannot be trusted."

Sitting was also boring. Kong Lingxin listened to what the people around her said verbatim. Of course, Meng Zexiao did the same, because Meng Zexiao had to raise his vigilance against the King Group because of his father's earnest words.

While the Meng family's low-key handling of negative news repeatedly hit the entertainment headlines, the King Group did its best to create news that made the headlines of the financial section.

The host continued: "Mr. Song Siyuan is not in China today, so he didn't come to the scene. He entrusted his secretary, Ms. Gu, to deliver the emerald bead chain to the scene on behalf of the King Group."

In fact, the lot had already been delivered, and the host said this just to give the King Group a chance to show their face and catch the eye.

At the guest table, a woman in her 30s wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up and walked towards the host. This was the Miss Gu that the host was talking about.

Miss Gu is wearing a Chanel purple evening dress tonight, a necklace with a purple crystal pendant, and a crystal bracelet of the same texture, which highlights her elegance and luxury without being ostentatious.

If a secretary is the face of the boss, then even though Song Siyuan didn't come to the scene, he has already earned enough face.

Ms. Gu took the microphone from the host, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for your applause! Although Mr. Song is not in China, he has been paying attention to the opening of tonight's auction through the Internet. As we all know, today This evening is a charity auction, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to poor children in the west, so we also hope that this string of highly collectible emerald bead chains will fetch a high price.”

After the warm applause, the spotlight flashed non-stop, and the auctioneer announced that the starting price of the jadeite bead chain was 500 million, and the atmosphere of the audience immediately reached a climax.

Many people focused their attention on Meng Zexiao, because at the beginning of the banquet, the meaning of the second young lady Meng's expressing her liking for this jadeite to her husband had spread widely.

However, Meng Zexiao was not in a hurry to raise his placards at first, and the others raised their placards for 50 yuan, and the price soon rose to 1000 million.

Just when Meng Zexiao was about to make a move, the phone rang.He frowned, not knowing who was calling at this time, but after seeing the name displayed on the phone, his rebellious emotions disappeared.

Meng Zexiao said respectfully, "Father, what do you want from me?"

Meng Haoquan's voice reached Meng Zexiao's ears through the mobile phone, "Don't take pictures of that emerald bead chain, you are not allowed to participate!"

In a simple sentence, Meng Haoquan said it with extra weight, and there was no room for negotiation.

Meng Zexiao was taken aback. Although he knew that his father's character would not change as long as he made a decision, and he still called him at this juncture, he had already promised Kong Lingxin that he would win, but suddenly the situation took a turn for the worse. Meng Zexiao still couldn't help it. Keep asking: "Dad, why?"

Meng Haoquan replied to Meng Zexiao in a stern and unquestionable tone: "Don't ask so many questions! Just do it!"

The hand holding the number plate slowly fell, Meng Zexiao's face was very ugly, Kong Lingxin roughly guessed the meaning of Meng Haoquan's phone call.

Since the guests and the media all focused their attention on the two of them, Kong Lingxin had no choice but to come up with a countermeasure. She said: "Husband, I suddenly remembered that I already have a string of jadeite beads that are almost the same. Let’s not take a bunch of them. Although there are not too many good things, but few are precious. I have taken a fancy to the following two things donated by old artists, can you take pictures for me?”

Meng Zexiao didn't expect that Kong Lingxin, who was against him all the time at home, would do whatever he wanted to do if she didn't like her——

But at this time, there is no extra thought to worry about what kind of contradiction Kong Lingxin is. At least tonight, she behaved as a very qualified daughter-in-law of the Meng family.

Although Meng Zexiao gave up the auction, there were also wealthy families in City B who made big mistakes. When the couple were talking, the price of the emerald bead necklace had already reached 2000 million.

Another round of fierce bidding, the price rose to 500 million!Looking at the bids of these people, Kong Lingxin had to feel that there are so many rich people, what is the concept of 500 million yuan, and the 100 yuan banknotes in exchange for a car would have filled her home in a small southern county——

"500 million for the first time!"

"500 million for the second time!"

The auctioneer's loud voice resounded in every corner of the venue, and everyone was attentively waiting for the gavel in his hand to drop to announce the deal.
