There is still a period of time before the live broadcast of the party, and everyone around is busy connecting with friendship. Ji Youyan and Jingxiu sit at the table, either with a famous and influential figure in the circle like Jingxiu, or a popular fried chicken with a hot topic in this year's drama.
Ji Youyan missed this grand event because it was hidden by Dingfeng in the last year. She guessed that if it wasn't for Jingxiu, she probably wouldn't have been able to sit at this table even if she came to participate.
Jingxiu is a cold-hearted person, and he has few close friends, but his popularity is not bad. On and off, someone always came to greet Jingxiu, or cared about her recovery, or invited her to get together when she had time, and some even affectionately asked for a group photo.
Ji Youyan was eager to see Jingxiu taking a selfie with others. She chatted a few words with the actress Xu Li, who became popular this year because of her drama, who was sitting next door. Seeing that Jingxiu was finally free, she leaned in and asked, "Mr. Jing, can we take a selfie together?"
Jingxiu was a little surprised. She couldn't remember when was the last time she took a photo with Ji Yuyan like this.
She looked at the anticipation in Ji Youyan's expression, and saw Xu Li's gossip beside Ji Youyan, she nodded, and said to Ji Youyan face: "Okay."
Ji Youyan smiled brightly, and moved his body closer to Jingxiu.
In an instant, the pleasant fragrance on her body was clearly and audibly wrapped around the tip of Jingxiu's nose. Jingxiu can even remember Ji Yuyan's demeanor and actions every time he applies perfume. The wrist, behind the ear, under the neck... She moved her throat imperceptibly and pursed her lips.
Ji Yuyan felt nothing. She turned on the front-facing camera and held up her phone to find the right angle.
Jingxiu calmed down and looked up at the screen cooperatively. Suddenly, all her attention was drawn to the latest photo displayed in the lower right corner of Ji Yuyan's phone screen next to the shutter button.
Ji Youyan noticed Jingxiu's lowered gaze and followed him subconsciously. The next moment, her brain exploded, she retracted her phone reflexively, and hurriedly cut out the camera interface.
Xu Li next to him witnessed the whole process and asked curiously, "Mr. Ji, what's the matter with you?"
Ji Yuyan also found that he was overreacting. She cleared her throat in embarrassment, calmed down, and said solemnly: "I didn't know what the camera was on just now, and the picture suddenly became a little supernatural, which startled me."
Xu Li mechanically looked at the moving heads behind Ji Youyan, swallowed, and was suspicious. Jingxiu was embarrassed and funny when she heard her nonsense.
Ji Youyan perfunctory Xu Li, licked her lips and Jingxiu explained in a low voice, "I just thought it was too cute, so I couldn't help but take pictures."
In the lower right corner of the phone just now, the latest photo displayed was a candid picture of Jingxiu's sleeping face taken by Ji Youyan when he was on a plane.
Jingxiu answered her indifferently, "Deleted."
Ji You was reluctant to give up, but Jingxiu stared at her phone and couldn't turn around. Ji Youyan had no choice but to turn on the camera, click on the latest photo, and press the delete button.
Unexpectedly, after deleting this photo, it automatically jumps to the next most recent photo - the photo of Jingxiu wearing a bracelet that Ji Yuyan saved that day as a treasure. The wrist part where the bracelet is worn is also prominently circled in red.
This time, it was Jingxiu's turn to feel uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Ji Youyan saw Jingxiu stunned for two seconds, then turned his head and took a goblet and sipped his wine. She didn't show any expression on her face, but the exposed ear gradually turned crimson.
The corners of Ji Youyan's lips couldn't help but rise, raising the thought of amusing Jingxiu.
"Is it the right size?" Ji Youyan hit the fairway.
Jingxiu's sipping wine paused slightly. She saw through Ji Youyan's narrowness, pinched the foot of the cup, and said calmly, "It's okay."
Ji You said with an inch of his words: "I measured it visually. Then next time I want to customize, can you measure me a size?"
Jingxiu looked at Ji Youyan calmly, and Ji Youyan looked at each other calmly. Jingxiu was silent for a few seconds, then changed the subject: "You said earlier that you asked Slyvia to customize it, so she also designed it?"
"No, it was designed by me." Ji You Yan just closed it. She thought of the six-year anniversary that was too late, and her expression became a little sad, "I designed the sketch two years ago and perfected it some time ago."
Jingxiu stared at Ji Youyan, frowned and said, "Some time ago?" Since it has been put on hold for so long, how could he suddenly think of perfection.
"Well, the first two or three months suddenly turned to the sketch." Ji You said frankly. "What's wrong?"
The infield lights suddenly dimmed, and the party was about to officially start. Ji Youyan couldn't see Jingxiu's expression clearly, and only heard her thoughtfully reply to him: "Nothing, just ask."
After the party starts, it is divided into three processes, the first process is the guest performance, and the second is the main part of the party - the auction link.
The auction session is led by star collections, commercial products are in the middle, and works from the literary and art circles are the finale. So after the half-hour performance, the stamps directed by Gu Lingfeng appeared as the first lot.
Gu Lingfeng said that it is rare to be perfect in everything, and it is good to be perfect. The same is true of charity. It is good to do your best, and you don't have to be too demanding. So he set a starting price of 190,000 for this set of stamps.
Ji Youyan remembered Wei Yizhen's reminder that he was the first to raise the sign and increase the price by 200,000.
The hostess off the field broadcasted: "This way, here, Ji You said 390,000."
Gu Lingfeng followed the host's voice to look at Ji Youyan, Ji Youyan smiled slightly, and Gu Lingfeng nodded back to her. It was a greeting.
There was chatter on the field, and soon someone raised the price. The male host on the field asked: "Someone raised a placard next to him. Is it Fang Shan? How much?"
"Fang Shan, 590,000." Another male host off the field said excitedly.
Ji Yuyan frowned. Come to think of it, Fang Shan has also learned the news that Ji Yumi is about to quit the circle and resign. This is also a gesture of goodwill.
Just as she was about to raise the card again, the hostess said excitedly: "behind, did Mr. Wang Lei raise the price by one million at a time? Well, it's now one million five hundred and ninety thousand. Is there anyone else?"
Ji Youyan vaguely remembered that this Wang Lei was Ji Yumi's wealthy businessman's boyfriend. This one, is an apology? Ji Youyan reluctantly raised her card and raised the price by another 200,000 yuan.
"Okay, Ji You said 1.79 million, is there any more?" Before the male host's voice finished, Fang Shan raised the price again: "1.99 million."
Wei Yizhen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the host reported: "Miss Wei Yizhen, 2.19 million."
Ji Youyan's heart suddenly hung high, and she turned to look for Wei Yizhen's location. Is Sister Wei filming by herself or for her? !
Fortunately, soon, Wang Lei added another one million extravagantly, "3.19 million."
Ji Youyan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this Wang Lei was inevitable. Sister Wei guessed that it was to help her deepen Gu Lingfeng's impression.
The auction is heating up, and Fang Shan is still struggling: "3.39 million."
Wang Lei: "Three hundred and eighty-nine thousand."
Fang Shan: "Four million and ninety thousand."
Wang Lei: "4.29 million."
Fang Shan also gave up. In the end, Wang Lei won this set of stamps with a hammer of 4.29 million.
Ji Youyan sent Wei Yizhen a WeChat message with lingering fears: "Sister Wei, you scared me to death suddenly."
Wei Yi was really indifferent: "What are you afraid of? Didn't you have the confidence and generosity when you asked Mr. Tao just now? You can't bear to get some money for the movie?"
Ji Youyan glanced at Jingxiu secretly, and gave Wei Yizhen a clever expression of admitting his mistake.
After Gu Lingfeng finished filming, and after filming the items of two directors and a singer, it was finally Jingxiu's "Spring Wilderness".
Just as Jingxiu's name was broadcasted, the fans' cheers rang out one after another from the stands at the rear. Xu Li and Ji You whispered jokingly: "Mr. Jing's pomp is okay."
Ji Youyan's eyes were fixed on Jingxiu, who came to the stage with the real money and stunned the audience. After listening to Xu Li's jokes, she suddenly followed the rhythm behind her, clapping her hands and whispering, "Jingxiu, Jingxiu, Jingxiu..."
Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed, then sat up straight and applauded with Ji Youyan's movements. They were only a few seconds faster than the others, and soon, everyone in the audience applauded.
No one noticed that Ji Youyan took the lead first, and no one noticed that Ji Youyan cheered a few more times than them. Ji Youyan heard the sound of the iron door in his heart being completely opened in the noise of the crowd.
It may never be someone else's vision that imprisoned her, but her own guilty conscience and fear.
After Jingxiu came to the stage, he bent down slightly, took the painting handed over by the staff politely with both hands, then turned around and glanced calmly under the stage.
The male host introduced: "Jingxiu is an acquaintance of our charity night. He has been supporting our activities for so many years. Last year, he didn't attend due to physical reasons. He also specially donated a convoy of ambulances outside the venue."
The audience spontaneously burst into warm applause.
Jingxiu said restrainedly, "It's just a small drop of water in this ocean."
"Did you bring us a painting of your own today? Would you like to introduce us?"
Jingxiu smiled and said, "Actually, I'm very guilty of bringing this painting, especially the masters in the art world sitting below."
The male host clapped: "No, I look at this painting with great skill, it's very extraordinary."
There was laughter from the audience, and Jingxiu said modestly, "Don't praise me, I'm blushing a little. However, the skills are ordinary, and the happiness is extraordinary."
"When I painted this picture, it was one of the happiest times in my life. So I brought it here, hoping to have the opportunity to give back to help more people with this little happiness I got by luck, and bring this A joy is passed on."
She said it was one of the happiest times of her life. Ji Youyan sat under the stage and looked up at Jingxiu's light smile when he said this, and his throat suddenly became sore.
The auction started, Ji Youyan looked at Tao Xingruo's direction from a distance. She thought that if Tao Xing didn't raise the card, she would take the risk of making headlines tomorrow and take this picture too.
Fortunately, as soon as the host finished speaking, Tao Xingruo held up the sign with force.
"Here, here, what is the name of this beautiful woman?" After the male host asked, the female host responded, "President Ran Wentao, Mr. Tao Xingruo." So the male host broadcasted the report: "President Ran Wentao Two hundred thousand."
Immediately, someone else raised the price, "Jona, editor-in-chief of vivi, 400,000."
"Did the gentleman in the blue suit raise his placard?" the male host questioned, and the audience's attention turned to look for the gentleman in the blue suit.
Ji Youyan also followed the sound, and his heart sank.
It is Song Wenyan.
"Is Mr. Song always? Is Mr. Song 600,000 yuan?" The hostess hurried to the back row off the court.
Song Wenyan stared at Jingxiu on the stage and smiled, approached the host's microphone and said, "It's 1.4 million."
Ji Youyan turned back to Jingxiu in the stands in a panic, Jingxiu's eyes fell on Song Wenyan from a distance, and he couldn't see his emotions. Ji Youyan's five fingers clenched unconsciously.
VIVI editor-in-chief Qiao Na continued to increase the price, 1.6 million, Tao Xingruo followed closely, and also added 1 million at a time, 2.6 million, Song Wenyan not to be outdone, and directly turned to 3.6 million.
Everyone in the venue was whispering, asking each other what the backgrounds of the surnamed Song and Tao were, Ji Youyan was in the middle, fidgeting.
The male host asked the second time, "3.6 million twice, there is no price increase, right?"
Ji Youyan stared at Jingxiu on the stage, gritted his teeth, and when he was about to raise his card, Tao Xingruo finally came back to life: "4.6 million."
Whole place clamored. For a painting like Jingxiu, which does not have much collection value, 4.6 million is a sky-high price.
Jingxiu frowned subconsciously as he looked off the field. Ji Youyan looked at Song Wenyan nervously, trying to see whether he would continue to increase the price. I don't know if it was an illusion. Ji Youyan felt that when she looked at Song Wenyan, Song Wenyan seemed to look at her, and even smiled at her
Provocative? Shouldn't the provocation be facing her now
But unexpectedly, Song Wenyan died after this smile. He did not increase the price, Tao Xingruo won the Jingxiu painting for 4.6 million. Ji Yuyan let out a sigh of relief.
"Four.
Tao Xingruo stepped onto the stage with great demeanor and stood beside Jingxiu under the attention of the crowd. She shook hands with Jingxiu, raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly at Jingxiu, and Jingxiu couldn't help showing a sincere smile.
She and Tao Xingruo shook hands and said warmly, "It is my honor to hand the painting into the hands of such a beautiful lady."
Tao Xingruo took the microphone handed by the host, and said in a cold voice, "It's my honor to be able to film it."
She paused for a moment, took the host's microphone, and continued: "My love is your movie fan, Teacher Jingxiujing. I think she will be very happy when she receives this painting. Moreover, she has always been She is very keen on public welfare, and she was unable to come with me today, so here, through this stage, I will donate another 1 million to help my lover spread this love."
The audience suddenly applauded and burst into a frenzy.
Ji Youyan looked at Jingxiu on the stage tenderly, and suddenly envied Tao Xingruo, and envied her for having such an upright and loving voice.
After Jingxiu got off the stage and returned to her seat, Xu Li got close to Ji Youyan and Jingxiu and said, "This is the most expensive dog food I've eaten recently."
Jingxiu didn't know what to think, but smiled and replied, "Mr. Tao is spending a lot of money for love."
Ji Youyan's eyes darkened when he saw Jingxiu's expression of admiration.
Song Wenyan was chasing after him, and Tao Xingruo was comparing him. Ji Youyan bit his lip and gave Jingxiu the surprise in advance.
She sent Jingxiu a Wechat channel: "I asked Mr. Tao to help me shoot."
Jingxiu looked down at WeChat, then looked at Ji Youyan sideways.
Ji Youyan's eyes were bright, and Jingxiu inexplicably thought of the golden retriever in her French country. Every time he took the frisbee and flew back to wait for her to smoothen her hair, it also looked like this.
Jingxiu pressed the corners of his lips and asked Ji You calmly, "Is that so?"
Ji Yuyan nodded.
"But I don't think she looks like she's going to give it to you." Jingxiu raised his eyebrows and said casually.
Ji Youyan frowned, no
But after Jingxiu said that, Ji Youyan became more and more uneasy the more she thought about it. She hurriedly sent Tao Xingruo Wechat to test: "Mr. Tao, thank you for your help, I will transfer the money to you after I finish."
Tao Xingruo quickly replied to her: "No thanks."
"Speaking of which, I should also thank you."
"Thank you for recommending this painting. I think Ning Wei will be very happy to see it."
?
! ! !
Ji Youyan digested these three sentences.
A few seconds later, Jingxiu caught a glimpse of Ji Youyan's face turning black.
The author has something to say: Sister Ji: I am dry!
what!
The bastard boss Tao Xingruo was kidnapped and ran away with my "Chunye"! woo woo o(╥﹏╥)o
