Du Xi glanced at Shen Wei and smiled faintly, "Zhicheng has a good eye for selecting people. Miao Daier has enough charm to make her the focus of everyone."

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Why don't you praise me? Miao Dai'er was just a little gangster not long ago. I spent a lot of time and effort on her."

Du Xi had a lot of contact with Shen Wei and knew that this was her personality. She made people feel that she was too proud, but she did have the capital to be proud. She smiled faintly and said, "Boss Shen, Miao Daier can consider taking on a few movies. I have a few roles in the scripts that are very suitable for her."

Shen Wei looked at Du Xi deeply, shook her head and refused, "That won't work. Miao Dai'er has other responsibilities. She can't get involved in the entertainment industry."

Du Xi asked in confusion: "You put so much effort into her, isn't it just to increase her fame? Making a movie is the best way."

Shen Wei explained with a smile: "Miao Dai'er is an important figure for Fang Zhicheng to break into the Yanjing Mall circle. If she goes to film a movie or TV series, how can we guarantee her value?"

Du Xi instantly understood the deep meaning, shrugged and said, "Just pretend I didn't say that."

The entertainment industry is a double-edged sword. It can help people become famous, but it can also easily destroy people in an instant. Miao Daier needs to enter another circle. The temperament of the entertainment industry does not suit her.

Shen Wei saw a group of people pouring in at the door, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "The most important guest has arrived, let's go and greet him quickly."

Liao Wenjing has entered the Golden Hall. Everyone's eyes are instantly focused on her, because this woman is so beautiful. She is wearing a white diamond-studded dress. Her slender long legs are stepping on white pointed high heels, which makes her look graceful. Her hair is tied naturally, revealing her beautiful neck and white shoulders. The strapless dress wraps her chest slightly upturned, and in the middle of her white nipples, a colorful diamond pendant is naturally hung.

Liao Wenjing's style is as calm and fragrant as a flower, which fully displays the feminine charm.

"Hello, Mr. Shen!" Liao Wenjing extended her hand.

Shen Wei smiled faintly, shook hands gently, and said, "Thank you, President Liao, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the charity gala."

Liao Wenjing smiled warmly, "You have done such a good job in publicity this time, with cross-page advertisements in all the media in Yanjing. It is an honor for anyone to participate in such a high-end charity gala."

Shen Wei walked in front and led Liao Wenjing to sit down near the stage. Seeing a young woman standing next to Liao Wenjing, she asked with a smile, "Is this Long Yun?"

Long Yun glanced coldly at Shen Wei's face and said, "You ask even though you know the answer."

Seeing that Long Yun had a bad temper, Shen Wei said calmly, "It seems that we can't continue to communicate."

After saying this, he went to the door to receive other guests.

Liao Wenjing glanced at Long Yun, sighed, and said, "You just acted a little too childish. You need to continue practicing and not show your emotions on your face."

Long Yun sneered and said, "She's just Fang's concubine, why are you showing off?"

Liao Wenjing shook her head and said helplessly, "Don't underestimate Shen Wei. Her father is Shen Qianshan, the richest man in Huainan. She is also very capable in business, but she is relatively low-key, so the outside world has never been able to find out how much assets she has. But if nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be among the top three female billionaires."

Long Yun frowned, but still said disdainfully: "It's just that they have a lot of money. In China, money is not enough to buy everything. The Long family is not afraid of any force."

Liao Wenjing knew what Long Yun meant. The founding leader once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The Long family holds unfathomable invisible power in their hands, which can even shake the foundation of the regime. No matter how much wealth they have, it is built on a stable environment. Once the regime is overthrown, the forces of all parties will regroup, and Shen Wei's wealth will become the wealth of others, so Long Yun said that.

Liao Wenjing did not say anything more. In her opinion, the Long family did have the capital, so Liao Wenjing took the initiative to approach the Long family in order to enable the Liao family to protect themselves.

After more than ten minutes, most people had arrived, the door of the Golden Hall slowly closed, the lights slowly went out, and the spotlights fell on the center of the stage. After the music started, Miao Dai'er, holding the microphone in her hand, stood briskly in the middle of the lights, her face filled with a confident and clear smile.

"Dear guests, welcome to the free lunch program - charity gala. I am the host of this gala. My name is Miao Dai'er, and you can call me Dai'er affectionately." Miao Dai'er has a good voice. After many times of training, her voice has become crisp and rhythmic.

"Everyone must have seen this news. In central and western China, a large number of children are seriously undernourished. Many children are stunted and feel very hungry during class. Their weight is 10 kg lower than that of rural students nationwide and their height is 11 cm shorter. This evening party aims to raise funds to help children avoid hunger and enjoy hot free lunches."

As soon as Miao Dai'er finished speaking, the electronic screen behind her lit up, and a VCR promotional video for the charity gala began to play. The scene changed to an ordinary village primary school in the central and western regions, where children were reading aloud. They were dressed simply, and their faces were generally yellow and thin.

Then another scene cuts to the children, who are holding tattered-looking porcelain bowls and wolfing down various unappearant meals with happy smiles on their faces.

The promotional video is about five minutes long. Although there are not many scenes, the main purpose of the video is to restore the reality, which can fully incite other people's emotions.

When the video ended, Miao Daier's eyes were already filled with tears. She said in a clear voice: "Children are the future and tomorrow. After everyone has watched the promotional video, I don't know what you think, but I just feel my heart is about to break."

If someone else said this, Miao Dai'er's words would give people an extremely artificial feeling, but because she had practiced it countless times, when she said it, it developed a special appeal that was extremely moving.

"All of you present here are well-known entrepreneurs and celebrities. As public figures, your every move will affect the people of the whole country, so I urge you to donate. This will set a good example for the free lunch program. Of course, today's fundraising is in the form of auction. All the auction items are prepared by some enthusiastic celebrities themselves, and are definitely suitable for everyone to collect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhui Deng walked towards a door, and a muscular young man walked out. He was wearing the national team uniform. Immediately, someone exclaimed, it's Gao Yongbo!

Gao Yongbo is a legend in the track and field arena. He made a splash in the sprint events ten years ago and won the world championship in both the 200m and 400m events. Unfortunately, an accident ended his sports career.

Behind Gao Yongbo stood a hostess holding a red box. Gao Yongbo pointed at the item in the box and said, "This is the medal I won when I won the 2004 Olympic Games. I am auctioning it at this event!"

Because of the sufficient confidentiality measures, no one except Miao Dai'er and Shen Wei knew that Gao Yongbo would attend the auction and present this precious and meaningful gift.

The reporters standing in the audience and constantly pressing the shutter button could no longer conceal their excitement, so much so that several of the photos were not ideal.

He was replacing a colleague to attend the charity gala. The reporter who was originally going to attend felt that the gala was meaningless, so he was asked to replace him to get some money for his escape. If he knew that Gao Yongbo would use the championship medal as an auction item, he would probably regret it to death.

Long Yun showed a look of shock on her face. She stared at Liao Wenjing and whispered, "Sister Wenjing, why is Gao Yongbo here? Wasn't it originally agreed that He Fei would be the first auctioneer?"

He Fei is a well-known figure in the pop music world, and being the first auctioneer is a high enough priority.

Liao Wenjing said in a deep voice: "We have been fooled." Liao Wenjing now knew that the list of auction personnel found through connections was not reliable at all.

However, Liao Wenjing had already contacted everyone on the list and asked them to give up the bidding on the stage, thus turning the party into a joke.

The organizers were well prepared for this event. The second person to appear was a major general, who was auctioning off a first-class medal of merit. This medal was awarded to him for participating in the Freedom Counterattack in the late 1970s. Only three people have received this medal.

The major general said in a clear voice: "Soldiers regard honor as their life. The medal represents the honor of soldiers, and it is very important to me. But when I learned that there are some children in the country who can hardly even have enough food, what is the morality if I still insist on empty fame? Therefore, I donated the medal of meritorious service, just to let the children have a hearty lunch."
