Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 288 Charity Gala
Wearing a white dress, Song Xiaoye shuttled through the crowd, stopping from time to time to instruct the hotel staff to arrange the flower baskets or arrange the seats.

In her previous life, even though she didn't like to socialize, she still held many receptions on behalf of the Fu family. She was quite comfortable doing work like this.

Chen Jie said to invite a professional company to plan, but firstly, there was not enough time, and secondly, it would cost another fee.It is already extravagant to choose a five-star hotel to hold a charity party, so it is better to save some if you can.

However, because the guests invited tonight include not only well-known Chinese who developed in the United States, but also many Hollywood stars, and even Mrs. Franky, so the party can only be held at the Hilton Hotel.

"Xiaoye," Song Xiaoye turned her head when she heard the cry, and smiled unconsciously when she saw Ye Ying approaching quickly.

Hearing on the phone that she and Chen Jie were planning a charity party, Ye Ying immediately donated two famous paintings worth hundreds of thousands of euros.Heidi not only specially asked Heidi to escort Hua Paris to New York, but also rushed over directly from BJ.

"Since you want to help charity, of course I, a mother, will support you." Patting Song Xiaoye lightly, Ye Ying turned her head to meet the bearded man beside her.

Although she is Chinese, Ye Ying still has some influence in Hollywood. Several well-known directors and celebrities are friends with her. Some of the people who came to the party tonight were invited by Ye Ying.

"Miss Ye, come here..."

Tonight's auctioneer is a specially invited professional from Sotheby's auction house.Since meeting yesterday, Song Xiaoye has always felt that this auctioneer is a stable and mature person, and this is the first time seeing him with such a surprised face.

Walking over quickly, Song Xiaoye was also terrified, "Keer, is there something wrong with the auction item?"

The highlight of tonight's charity gala is the auction of donated goods.Here, there are a few good things, all worth tens of thousands of dollars, and Song Xiaoye is also very afraid that something will go wrong.

"Well, not really." The somewhat bald Cole touched his forehead, "Miss Ye, we just received a new auction item, and the value of this auction item is at least $[-]."

Song Xiaoye was stunned, and was really surprised for a moment.Generally speaking, in this kind of charity auction, the auction price is above the value of the item itself.

She thought that the diamond necklace worth [-] US dollars donated by Mrs. Franky was already very impressive, "Who is the donor?"

Following Cole to another room, Song Xiaoye couldn't help being dazzled when she saw the ruby ​​necklace inlaid with the pigeon egg size with her own eyes.

Charming red, as deep as precipitated blood, even regardless of size, just this red color has already driven countless women crazy.

Putting down the necklace, Song Xiaoye picked up the business card beside her and couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Will Gardner!"

This guy, does he have to be so high-profile? !
Although it is a good thing to get an auction item that can dominate the market, such a precious necklace is too ostentatious.

Shaking her head, Song Xiaoye put the necklace in Cole's hand, "Since it has been donated, let's auction it off normally, um, let's use this to replace the two paintings that were originally used to suppress the scene! I think , there must be a lot of ladies crazy about it tonight."

Turning out of the hall, she was a little surprised to see a few familiar faces in the crowd, but after thinking about it, it seemed logical.

Mrs. French is here, and there is Clare, and she is also accompanied by a female companion, as it should be.

Shaking her head, Song Xiaoye intentionally walked towards Taylor and the others who were talking and laughing happily, but when she saw Mrs. Franky and Lili, she still greeted her with a smile.

Although she didn't want to deal with Eliza, Mrs. Franky came here because of her face. She was grateful and she had to be a landlord no matter what.

"Miss Ye," Frankie smiled and shook Song Xiaoye's hand, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity..."

"We should thank Madam..." Song Xiaoye smiled sincerely and enthusiastically, "Madam's generosity will be remembered by all the people in the disaster area..."

Looking at Lili again, "Sister Lili, I never thought you would be willing to donate that costume..."

"I didn't expect that dress, but the suit I wore when I played Juliet in the Old Broadway Theater!" Lili smiled, and raised the wine glass in her hand, "However, if I keep it in my hands now, it's also the same as the suit I wore when I played Juliet in the Old Broadway Theatre." It can only be a memento of the past. It's better to let it go to a useful place."

Looking at Lili's emotional expression, Song Xiaoye pursed the corners of her mouth, thinking, maybe she should take a picture of that costume later.Sister Lili must be very reluctant.

At the party tonight, many people donated things that they were reluctant to part with.Just like her, she also donated two treasures that she was very reluctant to part with, but as long as she can help more people, she is willing.

There were many people who came to the party, besides those who were invited, there were also many people who came after hearing the news.

In addition to Song Xiaoye's familiar friends, there are many unfamiliar faces.She and her friends from the crew walked through the crowd, smiling, complimenting or thanking. Those who came to the party tonight, even if they didn't donate, came with good intentions.

As night fell, as the auction started, the atmosphere at the party became more and more intense.

Because too many people came, the prepared chairs were simply removed. Everyone gathered in the hall, chatting and laughing in twos and threes, or a group of people gathered together. When they saw the auction items they wanted, they raised their signs to bid.

However, there are also special tricksters, no matter what the auction item is, they always have to raise the sign a few more times to increase the price. more climax.

"My friends, what we are going to auction now is a costume, an antique costume. This costume was made in 1696 and has been worn by many Juliet actors on stage. Theatre, Ms. Lili, who has played Romeo and Juliet in hundreds of performances—the reserve price for this antique costume is one thousand dollars—ah, there is already a bid, and the one with the number 15—ah, and the one over there That..."

Several bids were made, and soon the costume quadrupled to [-].

Song Xiaoye, who was holding the No. 15 card, was about to raise the card in his hand again, when someone shouted, "Five thousand dollars!"

If you get $[-] at once, is that a sure thing? !

Song Xiaoye turned her head and was a little surprised to see the man holding the sign.Carey Vega? !sky!
Song Xiaoye was not the only one who was surprised. Mia, who was next to Kaili, held Kaili's arm and whispered, "Are you crazy? My God! Where did we get so much money?"

Although it is also in the art circle, the theater troupes performing off-Broadway are not considered high in terms of income.Buying a set of clothes for five thousand dollars is really a bit...

Holding Mia's shoulders, Carey just said softly: "Honey, this is a gift from me - I know, what you want!"

"It's really..." Mia thumped Kaili's shoulder, pursed her lips, wanted to laugh but couldn't help but shed tears again.

Looking back, Song Xiaoye put down the sign in his hand.The corners of the mouth raised unconsciously.

Mia really chose the right man!It appears that her adventure has brought her the most precious treasure in the world.

A man's love has never been about how much money he has, but whether he is willing to give everything for you.

Watching the auctioneer finally drop the hammer on the stage, Song Xiaoye suddenly felt that this was really the most perfect result.If she took the photo, she would only return it to Lili, but now, this costume is in the hands of Mia.

Perhaps, in the near future, Mia will bring this antique costume to the Broadway Theater again.

The so-called pass from generation to generation, is that probably the case?
The auction went smoothly. Before the ruby ​​necklace donated by Will showed its face, the two paintings donated by Ye Ying were bought by Song Xiaoye and Chen Jie respectively for [-] US dollars.

Then, there was Mrs. Frank's diamond necklace. When Rick took a picture of that necklace with one hundred thousand dollars, Eliza smiled sweetly.Probably thought that Rick took the necklace and intended to give it to her, just like Carey half-knelt in front of Mia when he retrieved the costume.But he didn't want Rick to take back the necklace and handed it directly to Mrs. Franky.

Although there was no noise, Eliza's face immediately sank.It's also a coincidence that the next auction item is the black and white evening dress donated by Song Xiaoye.

"The famous fashion godfather designed it himself..." Before the auctioneer could finish his introduction, Elisa raised the sign and shouted, "One thousand dollars!"

Auctioneer Cole was stunned for a moment, and smiled gently: "It seems that many ladies have already fallen in love with this evening dress, and its starting price is - [-] US dollars!"

Elisa blushed, but she didn't put down the sign in her hand, "Thirty thousand! Designed by the fashion godfather, it's worth it!"

Is this to support her? !Elisa?

Song Xiaoye tilted her head and looked, just in time for Lisa to look over, raised her chin, with a haughty expression on her face, "I bought it back, even if I cut it and wiped the floor, it's not bad!"

It turned out that it was not to cheer, but to tear down the stage.

Song Xiaoye shook her head with a smile, and pressed Ye Ying who immediately raised the sign, "Forget it, an old dress."

"How can I forget it? If she shoots it back, it will really be cut—no, I can't swallow this breath!" Ye Ying snorted, making it clear that she wanted to vent her anger for Song Xiaoye.

Song Xiaoye let go, and Ren Yeying raised the price to [-] in one go before holding her back, "That's enough—no matter how high it is, she won't bid anymore!"

Ye Ying opened her mouth and wanted to raise her card again, but seeing that Song Xiaoye had already put on a serious face, she had to lower her hand.

Elisa held her head up, raised her chin intentionally or unintentionally, and hummed in this direction.But I didn't want someone behind me to shout loudly: "One hundred thousand——"

One hundred thousand dollars? !
It's the same price as the previous highest priced diamond necklace!

All the people in the audience couldn't help but turn their heads to look at this person who spent a lot of money just to take pictures of an old clothes.

I don't know when he entered the arena, but under the eyes of everyone, the handsome young man in a formal five-piece suit showed no signs of nervousness.

Smiling, nodding, beckoning, he walked through the crowd as if he didn't feel those eyes watching him at all.

When the auctioneer on the stage said loudly: "One hundred thousand times", Elisa asked angrily: "Will, you just want to fight against me, don't you?"

Will glanced at her, but didn't answer. He just walked up to Song Xiaoye and said with a smile, "Don't you think the clothes are the same as people's, or should they be in pairs?"

Song Xiaoye blinked and smiled, but didn't speak.

What should I say?what can i sayOf course, she didn't forget that this evening dress was a gift from Will, and she wore him and Will to attend the birthday party of Ninth Aunt's grandmother, and on that night, she was reborn.

This evening dress is not meaningless to her, and it is because of this time that she donated it, just like another auction item...
