Walking into the banquet hall of the hotel, at a glance, the clothes are fragrant and the shadows are on the temples.
All female guests.
Except for the waiters who came and went, the bodyguards guarding the banquet hall, and three or two media personnel, all of them were women.
"The auction will be held at eight o'clock." Shi Hua said, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and handed it to Gu Xueyi.
This is an act of clarifying the identity of the owner.
Gu Xueyi took it but didn't drink it.
"Let me introduce you to other people first." Shi Hua said as he turned his body slightly, letting out the others behind him: "This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Xinyi; my second daughter-in-law, Zhang Nanshuang..."
Gu Xueyi had a very weird feeling for a moment.
Obviously this is already a modern society, much more advanced than her time, but it gave her the illusion of going back to the past in a funny way.
Shi Hua introduced at the front, and Gu Xueyi scanned the past one by one from behind.
Gu Xueyi's attire today is overwhelming, and her appearance is not Xiaojiabiyu's style.
Gu Xueyi glanced over indifferently, those who thought highly of themselves and were waiting for Gu Xueyi to curry favor, all of them subconsciously suppressed the smiles on their faces.
Even... Even they unconsciously avoided Gu Xueyi's gaze.
It seemed that Gu Xueyi was the boss of Hongxing Fund, and she appeared here today to inspect.
Slowly, Shi Hua also felt the smell.
She was in charge of introducing Gu Xueyi, but Gu Xueyi remained silent, and felt arrogant even when she greeted others.
Wouldn't this be enough, did she become Gu Xueyi's secretary
Shi Hua's expression remained unchanged, and he stopped in time: "Okay, I introduced too many people to Mrs. Yan at once, and Mrs. Yan probably won't be able to remember. Doesn't Mrs. Yan drink alcohol?"
Gu Xueyi handed it to the waiter beside him: "I don't like to drink this wine."
It's really soft and hard.
Shi Hua's eyes flashed.
Pei Lixin was not wronged when she fell into her hands.
"Then let's sit and talk for a while." Shi Hua pointed to the sofa beside him.
Gu Xueyi nodded and walked over.
The others also understood at this moment, it is not so easy to give Gu Xueyi a bad blow.
Shi Hua is over fifty years old and has been well maintained.
She has a round face, majestic when tensed, and kindly when she smiles.
She went to the sofa and took a seat first, and the two daughters-in-law hurriedly sat down next to each other, naturally taking Gu Xueyi's place.
Gu Xueyi: ...
Does anyone still play this kind of house fighting game now
Gu Xueyi directly chose a set of single sofas and sat down.
Everyone swiped left and right, and the feeling of something wrong came back.
Obviously Shihua is the core.
Whoever is next to her usually has a different position... Once the position next to her is taken up, everyone thinks that Gu Xueyi will feel embarrassed.
In the end, Gu Xueyi sat down by herself!
Still a single seater!
You don't need others to isolate her, it's as if the throne is under her!
Shi Hua and his group became the foils that surrounded her.
"..."
Shi Hua's skin twitched.
She has always felt that her appearance was not beautiful when she was young, but it has always been a deterrent.
Since deterrence fails...
Shi Hua smiled: "Mrs. Yan should have heard of our Jun Yu Club, right?"
Gu Xueyi nodded.
"I heard that Mrs. Yan also set up a fund recently, is it managed by Yan's?"
"En." Gu Xueyi responded.
"Yan's business is all about big business. A fund like Mrs. Yan's is managed by Yan's. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. Why not merge it with the Hongxing Fund? It is more convenient for us to manage it directly." Shi Hua After a pause, she asked, "Mrs. Yan, is she willing to be a wealthy wife and not do anything else?"
Gu Xueyi heard Shi Hua's meaning.
Shi Hua was signaling to her not to be a housewife, not to be a hands-off shopkeeper. The fund should be taken over into its own hands, and Hongxing will provide management personnel and management rules.
She really dared to say that.
Gu Xueyi chuckled lightly.
The rest of the wives all held their voices, and unconsciously locked their eyes on Gu Xueyi.
She is indeed young and beautiful, and even makes people a little jealous when she smiles.
"What does Mrs. Song think of this new fund I got?" Gu Xueyi asked.
Shi Hua just didn't know Kraven.
If she knew Kleven, she would know that the last time Gu Xueyi asked such a question, Kleven was caught off guard.
Shi Hua praised without hesitation: "Taiwan Yan did a good job, and invited many celebrities to do publicity, and even brought down a school, and even leveled the ground. Most people can't do this kind of skill. .”
Hearing this sentence, someone next to him curled his lips secretly.
Gu Xueyi is too terrific.
Sooner or later it will be unlucky!
But there are also people who can't help being shocked and envious.
No matter how rich they are, they can't play like Gu Xueyi. They also invite celebrities to do publicity, and they invest tens of millions at a time. Even the Jiang family can talk...
Just when they had different thoughts, Gu Xueyi shook her head and said: "In my opinion, it is just an insignificant little thing. Why should I spend effort on it? Yan's is a big business, but I Small business, don't they still have to run errands for me? I won't bring such small things to Mrs. Song's big fund to join in the fun. "
What an arrogant tone!
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
They never expected that Gu Xueyi would say the opposite to Shi Hua.
What Shi Hua praised her just now became a kind of compliment instead.
Including what I just said, is Tai Yan willing to be a wealthy wife... It has become a joke.
Gu Xueyi turned to ask again: "Your fund, is it fun?"
Is it fun
Is it fun...
The corners of many people's mouths twitched, not knowing whether to evaluate Gu Xueyi's arrogance or ignorance.
Shi Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became alert, she ordered one casually: "Mrs. Cheng, talk to Mrs. Yan carefully."
The person who clicked on it immediately talked with Gu Xueyi about the project of the Hongxing Fund in detail.
The Hongxing Fund is actually supported by Feng Yu's foundation, but the Hongxing Fund's projects are specifically aimed at women.
For example, saving out-of-school girls, saving sick women, looking for abducted female college students, etc...
Shi Hua asked: "Does Mrs. Yan think it's fun?"
Gu Xueyi raised her chin: "It's interesting."
Mrs. Cheng's expression almost froze.
For some reason, ever since Mr. Feng made the phone call, she always felt that Mrs. Yan was not only not a help, but also a troublesome one.
"Hongxing organizes several charitable donations every year. Only tonight's charity auction is held once a year and is fixed. At the auction, all the auctioned money must be donated to Hongxing's project on the spot." Shi Hua The third daughter-in-law suddenly stared at Gu Xueyi and spoke.
Apparently it was to prevent her from donating back to Yan's like last time.
Shi Hua gave her a cold look and said: "You don't need to listen to her, Mrs. Yan is a guest we invited, she's not a member of Hong Xing, so you don't have to abide by such rules."
The third daughter-in-law stopped talking.
She seldom receives Shi Hua's cold eyes.
She couldn't figure it out, shouldn't she give Gu Xueyi a slap in the face
"Go ahead." Gu Xueyi nodded to Mrs. Cheng, completely ignoring Shi Hua's third daughter-in-law.
"Uh... the foundation regularly donates materials to impoverished mountainous areas, out-of-school girls, etc..."
Mrs. Cheng spoke dryly.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, this Yantai's airs are too big! It's as if everyone is surrounding her to serve her!
Now that Mr. Yan is back, is she still showing off? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Yan will be unhappy
"Okay, I almost know it." Gu Xueyi said lightly: "I haven't heard what it means so far, it might as well be interesting if I made it."
Shi Hua smiled meaningfully and said, "Mrs. Yan will see something interesting."
Gu Xueyi's gaze turned and suddenly froze.
She saw Yan Wenshu in the crowd
Gu Xueyi pointed in a direction: "Your Hongxing people are also there?"
"I'm a member of Junyu Society, a member of foreign branches. Every year, some of them will come here to participate in the dinner." Shi Hua said.
Gu Xueyi nodded.
It seems that Yan Wenshu has been in contact with Junyu Society as early as abroad, but Yan Wenshu probably doesn't know that she was invited here.
"Bring a deck of cards here." Gu Xueyi said.
"Ah?" The people around were taken aback.
Shi Hua reacted quickly: "Didn't you hear Mrs. Yan say you're bored? Go get a deck of cards."
"Song Tai can fight with me." Gu Xueyi said lightly: "I'm not very good at this, Song Tai can be merciful."
Others only regard her as modest.
The others saw that Shi Hua's attitude towards Gu Xueyi changed, so of course they also changed their attitude, so two or three volunteered to play with her.
Soon the cards were brought.
The media people at the banquet were all startled, and turned their heads to take pictures of the scene here.
Shi Hua's expression froze for a moment, and then calmed down again.
This is probably going to be another first time at the Red Apricot Dinner!
"Come on." Shi Hua hid his stiff expression and said with a smile.
Gu Xueyi said that she is not good at it, it is really not good at it.
In the past, she could still play leaf cards, but after coming to this era, she found that she couldn't play many things. She didn't want the little ones at home to play with her.
Right now.
Several people played cards and realized that Gu Xueyi's poker skills are really bad.
But they watched Shi Hua give the cards, and they could only follow suit. They were used to holding Shi Hua, but now they also have a delicate heart. .
That's so fucking hard!
After several rounds of playing cards, Gu Xueyi gradually developed some skills.
But the other companions were about to vomit blood.
This is harder than winning!
After Gu Xueyi had played enough, she pushed the cards away and said, "Okay, I won't play anymore."
Looking at Gu Xueyi now, the others felt a little apprehensive, let alone having any other thoughts, they all nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Hua secretly frowned.
She felt that she didn't quite understand Gu Xueyi.
Saying that she is smart, it seems that she is just naturally arrogant, and no one can look down on her, so she mistakenly knocked down her majesty.
Said she was not smart, and tossed everyone enough.
Also, she can't even play cards.
really weird…
Finally, the auction also started.
"I have already prepared the lot for Yantai." Shi Hua said, and asked someone to fetch a painting: "Does Yantai like painting?"
Gu Xueyi nodded and asked, "Then who will take the picture?"
Mrs. Cheng quickly said, "I'll take pictures of Mrs. Yan's paintings."
Gu Xueyi asked her: "Are you rich?"
"Ah... ah?"
"How much money do you have?" Gu Xueyi said, frowning: "If the price in the auction is lower than the last time, wouldn't I be ashamed?"
Mrs. Cheng's expression froze.
She really doesn't have that much money to take such a painting at a time.
Shi Hua: "..."
Gu Xueyi is quite demanding.
That's why Pei Lixin was dragged to vomit blood, right
9.9 million
Not too high.
Shi Hua whispered a few words to the woman next to him, then turned his head and said, "Don't worry too much, Yantai will definitely make a lot of face today. How about a 10 million shot?"
Gu Xueyi just nodded.
Shi Hua wanted to use her to expand Hongxing's influence, but the money was too much.
Gu Xueyi's eyes flashed.
Immediately realized.
The Song family has spent a lot of marketing effort on doing charity. Although netizens are familiar with it, there is nothing else. Jiang Yue took Baoxin's project and took a step towards Guo Jia's threshold. Of course, Song also wants to run a more powerful charity brand to make up for this gap.
The Song family chose the brand Hongxing.
The whole auction process is not long.
Their bids were even more frank and straightforward than at Feng Yu's auction last time.
Gu Xueyi also met the female celebrity who also sold paintings last time, Su Fu.
This time she took a picture of a birthday present she received when she was eighteen.
After Shihua carried up the "collection" prepared by Gu Xueyi, the people in the audience couldn't help whispering.
"A painting again?"
"Whose is it this time?"
"I don't know, it seems to be a not-so-famous painter."
Su Fu's expression froze.
I didn't expect to run into Gu Xueyi here again!
Why did she come to Hongxing's charity auction
Yan Wenshu suddenly heard the name, and turned her head in shock.
As Shi Hua promised, the last painting was auctioned for 10 million yuan.
Gu Xueyi still didn't donate on the spot.
As soon as the charity auction ended, the media left after filming enough material.
But the dinner didn't end there.
The door of the banquet hall was quickly closed, and the lights in the hall were dimmed a little.
The people coming and going in the hall gradually changed.
There are more people.
And there are more men.
If Gu Xueyi hadn't turned her head, she saw a bald man.
She almost thought that the Hongxing Fund was actually planning to make a show of Hongxing's affair.
These wealthy wives, probably still haven't noticed that they specially take care of a bald man.
Shi Hua didn't follow her anymore, and after signaling that she could move freely, Shi Hua left first. The one who stayed with Gu Xueyi was Mrs. Cheng.
There are more and more men holding wine glasses in the hall.
They have suits and leather shoes, but there are also poorly dressed ones.
Get closer, and Gu Xueyi can hear someone among them saying excitedly: "Listen first, I have a very profitable business! Really! Listen first..."
Turning around again, it was another person, who was hard at work with another wealthy wife: "I have an idea here, it's amazing! It doesn't need much...just invest two million yuan!"
"One million is fine..."
"Fifty! Fifty!"
In a trance, it makes people feel like they have entered the selling market by mistake.
On the way, a few men bumped into Gu Xueyi head-on, and wanted to come up to talk to her, but because Gu Xueyi's outfit was too intimidating today, they mustered up their courage, but still didn't dare to move.
Gu Xueyi turned her head and asked Mrs. Cheng: "What is this for?"
"Oh, this. This is done by Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song is very kind to you, so I won't keep it. To be honest, except for the one who started from scratch with the head of the family, he still holds the company in his hands. Shares, except for participating in company affairs. Most of the other wealthy wives are also rich in their own families, and they married out of business marriages. They used to be daughters at home, but they were still wealthy wives who left their hands when they married. Others cut the ribbon, attend this banquet, watch that show. If one day the mother’s family fails, collapses, or even goes bankrupt, then divorce, nothing can be earned.”
Gu Xueyi wholeheartedly agrees.
This is true.
And she found that compared with the ancient times, this modern age is a bit backwards.
In ancient times, being a mistress or a housewife was equivalent to a job. They want to be housekeepers, to manage the shop under the family name, and they want money in their hands. There is also monthly silver, and there are rewards above.
In a family, no one can deny the dedication of the head wife.
And if the concubine at the bottom wanted to surpass his wife, he would have to go to jail.
It's strange that it's modern.
Housewives have no income, no status, and even some women look down on them.
A man kicks as soon as he says he wants to, and the mistress is faster than drinking water.
Mrs. Cheng said, still a little excited: "So, Mrs. Song set up a fund. First, let's do charity and make a name for yourself outside. There is something to do; second, use this fund as a fulcrum. Let those looking for investment gather here, and let’s see how to invest. Usually, the money is bought for bags and clothes anyway, so why not use it for investment? Maybe you can invest in a few big deals?”
Gu Xueyi: ...
She felt nonsense when she heard this.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Song didn't have such skills and vision.
Mrs. Song should understand very well that a group of rich wives who have never been in contact with business investment, let them watch the investment, how likely is the meat bun to beat the dog
At least you have to give them some basic knowledge first, right
And the investment meeting is just the investment meeting, combined with the charity dinner... that would be interesting.
Gu Xueyi smiled faintly, and did not comment further on this.
At the other end, there was a man in his thirties, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of anxiety.
He is not used to such occasions.
Those around him shouting "one million is fine" and "500,000 is fine" made him feel as if he had strayed into some strange place.
"Hurry up." The rich second generation next to him urged.
The man pursed his lower lip: "Don't you think it looks unreliable?"
Those who ask for investment are free to call, and those in charge of investment are free to give... What is this like? It's like a beggar begging for food! Where does it look like a decent occasion
"Where is it unreliable? Haven't you heard of the name of Junyu Society? Director Sun, you are so poor that you are now so poor because of your gambling! If it weren't for the fact that we still have a little friendship in the past , Director Sun, why did I bring you here?"
The man said in a deep voice, "... I see."
He took a difficult step, and casually found a wealthy wife to talk to.
Before he finished speaking, the other party frowned: "What the hell? It doesn't make money. Do you think I'm stupid?"
man:…
Men can't figure it out either.
Obviously he opened his mouth to speak more pragmatically.
Just now the young man opened his mouth and boasted wildly, saying that he invested one million in one month, doubled in the next month, and tripled in March... It sounds even more unreliable.
Why did the young man leave with an investment of 500,000 yuan
The man ran through his hair irritably.
He took a breath and turned his head to try again.
What the rich second generation said is right, even if one person invests one million in him? A few more, put together, that is also impressive. And the rich wife is not like those capitalists, who always want to stuff people into your team, and then point fingers, and expect you to pay back immediately...
The man turned his head.
Then I was stunned.
The woman is a bit garishly beautiful.
He stammered and said, "I have a script here, you...listen to it? Then decide whether to vote or not?"
Gu Xueyi raised her eyelids, and looked at the man standing in front of her.
Gu Xueyi can almost recognize some luxury brands now.
For example, men's tops are Armani.
His hair, which was combed back neatly, had just been pulled out and looked a little wild.
The man has regular facial features, he seems to be of mixed race, and his eyes are green.
Script
Gu Xueyi suddenly thought of Yan Wenjia.
"What script?"
The man didn't expect that the seemingly unattainable woman in front of him actually asked himself, so he hurriedly told Gu Xueyi seriously.
Gu Xueyi is actually not very good at judging the quality of the script.
But she can judge people from good to bad.
This person is obviously more serious than the previous ones. He is serious about seeking investment.
"New director?" Gu Xueyi asked.
The man smiled wryly: "No."
He took out his mobile phone and called up his encyclopedia entry for the woman to read.
He didn't know why he was in the present state.
Gu Xueyi carefully read his resume, and matched his face with the one inside.
"How much do you want to invest?"
The man opened his mouth, a little embarrassed: "...at least, at least 100 million. No, in fact, 50 million is also fine. The main movie is different from other ones. It must be made well, burn money, and burn tapes."
Someone nearby heard it, and immediately squeezed over, looking at Gu Xueyi eagerly and attentively: "Madam, please vote for me. I don't want much, I just want a million! I'll open a gallery! Your business It must be a huge profit! Look at me, the painting you sent to the stage just now was painted by me... "
Gu Xueyi glanced at him.
He is a young man with a good appearance and a smile on his face.
The young man even winked at her: "You make a condition, you can do anything!"
Gu Xueyi looked away coldly, and looked at the man: "Do you have a business card?"
The man quickly took out one and handed it over.
Gu Xueyi looked down.
Sun Junyi.
Mrs. Cheng secretly took this scene into her eyes.
"We'll talk about it later." Gu Xueyi said lightly.
The man rubbed his hands a little awkwardly, feeling a little ashamed in front of the other party, he quickly said: "If you want the whole script, I can send it to you later..."
"Yeah." Gu Xueyi took the business card, turned around and walked away.
The man stared at her from behind for a moment.
The rich second generation quickly came over again and asked, "How is it?"
The man said, "Handed a business card out."
The rich second generation said angrily: "What's the use of that? You keep looking!"
The man shook his head: "...forget it."
Mrs. Cheng found an excuse and left for a while.
When she turned her back, she called Shi Hua: "I think Gu Xueyi looks pretty stupid... Those people are soliciting investment, at least they are hundreds of thousands, millions. Today, if you come here, you will ask for 100 million , the price has been reduced to 50 million... Gu Xueyi actually accepted a business card."
Feng Yu turned around in the room.
Grass.
Why hasn't Gu Xueyi called for help yet
