Translator: _Min_ |
Meng Chuan looked at Gu Dai with confusion, Daidai, how did this calligraphy piece end up here? Wasnt it in
Gu Dai did not elaborate much, only nodding slightly, her gaze fixed on the auction scene.
Su Ci sensed something was amiss but, seeing Gu Dai chose not to speak, he didnt press further.
Master He Zhis calligraphy was famous, hence many people fought for it.
Bidding 10 million.
Ill bid 20 million.
I wont let you take it, 50 million.
100 million!
Zhou Ci was astonished and turned to Sheng Xin in surprise, You actually have a piece by Master He Zhi.
Song Ling was also surprised but didnt show it as blatantly as Zhou Ci.
Sheng Xin humbly said, I just happened to come by it.
She watched as the price continued to climb, even reaching the highest bid of the evening, her smile growing wider.
The host announced, I now declare that Mr. Zhang has successfully bid 800 million for Hes Preface!
The crowd gasped, followed by a round of enthusiastic applause.
The host then asked, Were delighted that Miss Sheng Xin is willing to donate such an expensive item. Would you like to come up and say a few words?bender
Sheng Xin, not wanting to miss this opportunity for attention, stepped up to the stage with a warm and gentle smile that endeared her to the audience. How did you convince yourself to donate Master He Zhis work? the host inquired.
Sheng Xin answered with a smile, When I heard it was for charity, I just thought about using my own power to help the children in impoverished areas. When I saw Master He Zhis work, I donated it without a second thought.
The host couldnt help but admire, Miss Sheng Xin is so kind-hearted, caring more for the children than her own loss. It seems you must often help others in your daily life.
Sheng Xin nodded without hesitation, her signature smile aimed at the booths, wanting everyone to see her kindness. But when her eyes met Gu Dais, an idea suddenly sprang to her mind.
Sheng Xin said, Theres a particularly popular variety show online recently. One of the artists is under my company. More importantly, I want to mention that I have a collaboration with Miss Gu Dai of Gus Group for this show.
The host was confused but nodded along.
Sheng Xin continued, Miss Gu Dai cares even more about charity. Why not have her come up and share what shes contributed to this cause?
As soon as Sheng Xin spoke, Meng Chuans face changed, angrily standing up, Its almost the end of the auction, and she knows you didnt bring anything to auction. Shes just trying to embarrass you.
Su Cis gentle smile vanished, his eyes coldly fixed on Sheng Xin.
Gu Dai remained composed, standing up slowly, Ill go down and say a few words.
She reassured Su Ci and Meng Chuan, who looked worried, Dont worry, I can handle it.
Sheng Xin, not expecting Gu Dai to actually take the stage, seized the moment. She grabbed Gu Dais hand, asking with a smile, Daidai, what did you donate?
Gu Dai withdrew her hand, her smile not reaching her eyes, I dont think our relationship is that close.
Sheng Xins smile froze, her head lowered in feigned hurt, Sorry, I thought we were close, but I didnt realize this is how you see me.
Her words swayed the crowds emotions, especially Mr. Zhang, who had just bought Sheng Xins donated calligraphy.
Zhang Sheng spoke up, Gu Dai, even as the Chairwoman of Gu Group, you shouldnt embarrass a girl in public like this. And I remember you didnt donate anything at this charity event. Are you just showing temper to cover your own embarrassment?
Gu Dai couldnt help but laugh, then spoke calmly, Although I didnt bring anything to auction, its still better than someone selling fakes, isnt it?
Zhang Sheng was taken aback, not immediately grasping the meaning of Gu Dais words.
Sheng Xin, however, turned pale upon hearing Gu Dais comment.
Zhang Sheng suddenly reacted, turning to Gu Dai excitedly, Do you have proof? How dare you say the item I auctioned is fake!
