Chapter 534 Charity Gala (1)
On the day of the charity gala, Lu Jiaxin took a shower after a nap and then started styling her hair. She designed two evening dresses for herself, one was a black halterneck dress, and the spare one was a long Dielianhua cheongsam. The black evening gown was paired with antique jewelry bought by Nie Zhan, and the cheongsam was paired with jade jewelry.
After finishing her styling and makeup, Lu Jiaxin went upstairs and changed into evening clothes. When walking downstairs, Miao Na praised: "The boss is so beautiful."
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great figure. Alas, although Mr. Nie is very kind, she still feels sorry for her boss. With such good conditions and such a young age, he could definitely fall in love a few more times. It would be a shame to die on the tree of Nie Zhan so early.
Yan Yijun said in a disgraceful manner: "I still think the boss looks good in professional attire."
This is what he means. Dressed in professional attire, Lu Jiaxin is smart and capable, with a spirit that few people have.
Miao Na gave him a big roll of her eyes, a country bumpkin who wouldn't appreciate it.
Nie Zhan looked at Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him wearing a gray suit and said with a smile: "You are also very handsome. Ah Zhan, tonight we may be the most beautiful couple in the party."
Miao Na was very flattering and said: "Boss, it's not possible, it's certain. There is no one in the whole port city who is more beautiful than you and more handsome than Boss Nie."
Her mouth was so sweet that Lu Jiaxin couldn't bear to leave her. Unfortunately, Miao Na still did not change her words, saying that she did not want to stay in one place for too long and would leave when Xiaoxiao came back.
The charity party started at 5:30, and the auction was set at 7:30. Lu Jiaxin ate a small bowl of shrimp dumplings, put on makeup, and then went to the party with Nie Zhan in Phantom. Although dinner is provided there, I would like to eat something to satisfy my stomach and eat a little more there.
Called Zong Shimeng before setting off, and Zong Shimeng came as soon as they arrived. Seeing Lu Jiaxin's dress, Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "Your dress is very beautiful. If you have time, you can design a few for me to wear when attending banquets in the future."
Zong Shimeng is wearing a champagne-colored long skirt tonight. Because of her round figure, the effect is greatly reduced. Alas, women, they pay too much for their families and children.
"Can."
The two of them were walking and talking. As soon as they entered the hall, someone called her: "Lu Jiaxin, you are coming to the auction too!"
Lu Jiaxin raised her head and looked at the person calling her, but she didn't expect it to be her college classmate Li Huini. She smiled and said, "Yes, I was given an invitation letter from the charity gala. It is my duty to do charity."
Although I have never participated in group activities at school, most of my classmates in the class still know each other. Li Huini is also a daughter of a wealthy family, but this girl does not have the arrogance of a wealthy daughter. Instead, she is intellectual and generous, and is very popular in the class.
Li Huini heard that she donated a lot of money to the mainland, but her company was not listed and she donated in her own name, so she did not attract criticism.
After saying hello to Zong Shimeng, Li Huini asked with a smile: "Jiaxin, there are a lot of good things tonight. I wonder which ones have you taken your fancy?"
Zong Shimeng didn't bother them when he heard they were college classmates, and chatted with someone he knew.
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "I donated a jade Ruyi."
She looked at the brochures of the auction items, but there was nothing she liked. The more good things you have, the higher your vision will be.
The items in this auction are basically donated by people like her, so they cannot be rare items. Of course, since it is a charity auction, I will still buy a few things later. Li Huini was surprised: "You donated the jade Ruyi? My mother liked it very much and asked me to take a picture."
After chatting for a while, Li Huini introduced a few friends to her, both men and women, and they were all rich and young. One of the men is tall and handsome, and he is also funny, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes with tenderness and affection. It is easy to be intoxicated when he looks at you, but these people do not include Lu Jiaxin.
Lu Jiaxin didn't like the way the boy looked at her, and he wasn't interested in their topic, so she walked away on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
The peach-eyed man said with some regret, "This Miss Lu is quite aloof."
Li Huini frowned and warned: "Don't act recklessly. Miss Lu is not one of those little girls you have dated before, who was coaxed by you in just a few words."
Just because she could read her face and talk, those little girls were fascinated by her, but Lu Jiaxin was not a person who put love first. Lu Jiaxin is very clear-headed, and you can tell by looking at the Nie Zhan she is looking for. Handsome, wealthy and dedicated, he can also help her make money. Alas, she also wanted to find a boyfriend like this, but unfortunately she couldn't find one.
The peach-eyed man said: "I can't serve such a woman."
He could clearly see the disgust in Lu Jiaxin's eyes just now, so he couldn't get enough of her.
Nie Zhan saw Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile, "Why don't you chat with your classmate for a while?"
In one year of middle school and three years of college, the only person I had friends with was Cui Zhihui, who was still studying law at Harvard. It's rare to see her talking to her college classmates, so I hope they can chat for a while longer.
Lu Jiaxin said: "A man next to her looked at me with what he thought was an affectionate look. It was so disgusting."
“Who is it?” Nie Zhan asked in a bad tone. He actually wanted to pry into his corner and seek death!
Lu Jiaxin saw that he was angry and said with a smile: "It's just a clown, don't worry about it."
The auction will be held on time at 7:30. Because the auction items are all donated, there is a wide variety of items, including jade Ruyi, privately customized watches, sand pots and jade, jewelry, and calligraphy by famous artists of the day.
Lu Jiaxin took a fancy to a diamond brooch. The shape and workmanship of this brooch were very unique. She spent 200,000 to get it. In fact, the price of this brooch is more than 100,000 yuan. However, the purpose of charity auctions is to raise funds, so everyone tacitly agrees to buy at a premium.
Jade Ruyi was auctioned behind the brooch, with an asking price of HK$500,000. Hearing the price, Lu Jiaxin was very surprised: "Why is the starting price only 500,000?"
Zong Shimeng said with a smile: "The Ruyi jade you donated belonged to the concubine of the Qing Dynasty emperor. The material of this Ruyi jade is of high quality, it has a good meaning (everything goes well as you wish), and it is an antique, so the starting price is naturally higher. Yes. I have always wanted to ask you, why did you donate such a good thing?"
Lu Jiaxin did not hide it: "I have something better than this. When it comes to charity, naturally the more donations the better."
Thinking about the news he had read in his previous life, Lu Jiaxin lowered his voice and asked: "I heard that some people will kick their pockets for charity money, shouldn't Tung Wah Group of Hospitals do that?"
For example, the Red Cross lost its credibility because it did too many bottomless things, and eventually people were no longer willing to donate money to it. How can I enrich the pockets of those moths with the money I have worked so hard to save so that they can enjoy hot and spicy food?
Zong Shimeng knew her concerns and said, "Don't worry! The whereabouts of these donations will be announced at the end of the year, and those people dare not stretch out their hands randomly."
