Zhou Mingfeng showed amazing patience with Jiang Jinjin.
It also gave Zhou Yan, who was on the side, a deeper understanding: his father really valued his wife over his son.
Ever since he was a child, he hadn't noticed that his father had such patience with him.
Zhou Mingfeng and Jiang Jinjin talked about this charity dinner. Basically, the Xi family auctions things worth collecting, such as jewelry or antique calligraphy and paintings. The highest price will win, and the Xi family will also donate the money to those in need . Therefore, this kind of charity dinner is meaningful, but the Zhou family has no business relationship with the Xi family, so it is fine not to participate in the auction. After all, there are only a few things in an auction, but there are many people present. If the auction is not successful, those who are willing can also donate their own heart, which is not compulsory.
"What about your plan?" Jiang Jinjin asked.
Zhou Mingfeng shook his head, "There is no plan."
He added, "As I said, the company has no relationship with Yuan Sheng, so just come and join us."
Jiang Jinjin understood.
So this time it was really up to her heart. She can shoot as much as she wants, no matter how expensive the price is, he will support her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to shoot, it won't have any bad influence.
In this way, Jiang Jinjin was relieved.
The three of them came to the banquet venue. The Yuansheng Group was rich and powerful, and this dinner was also held in a manor. Jiang Jinjin is wearing a crescent white off-the-shoulder dress, which is also matched with a set of diamond jewelry, which is neither too exaggerated to catch the eye, nor too simple. After getting out of the car, she decisively took Zhou Mingfeng's arms, looked left and right, and felt that she was the most beautiful boy tonight, not because of how beautiful her dress was, nor because of how many diamonds she had. Dodge, but the two guardians standing on her left and right are really doing her a favor.
The appearance and demeanor of Zhou Mingfeng and Zhou Yan are really excellent.
This weird family of three appeared at the same time, which indeed attracted the attention of many people.
After all, this was the first time that Zhou Mingfeng brought his new wife and son to such an occasion.
Jiang Jinjin didn't expect to meet a half-baked person here—Yun Xin.
Yun Xin was more surprised than Jiang Jinjin, she never thought that Zhou Yan would come today!
Zhou Mingfeng and Yun Yahua can be regarded as good friends. When they met here, they naturally wanted to say hello. Jiang Jinjin smiled and walked over holding Zhou Mingfeng's hand, and Zhou Yan followed Jiang Jinjin. Jiang Jinjin did not ignore Yun Xin's extremely surprised expression.
After exchanging pleasantries, Yun Yahua looked at Zhou Yan, "Ah Yan is here too? It's the first time."
Zhou Mingfeng glanced at Jiang Jinjin, "Well, he listens to her, and if I ask him to come, he won't come."
Zhou Yan: "...?"
However, Zhou Yan did not deny it.
Mrs. Yun said cheerfully: "When the child is old, he should come out to meet the elders and learn some knowledge that is not in the books. A Yan, just sit with Yun Xin? You two have a common topic. We There is a generation gap with them.”
Mrs. Yun said the latter sentence to Jiang Jinjin.
Jiang Jinjin had a business smile on his face.
Yun Xin looked at Zhou Yan expectantly. She doesn't think this kind of occasion is interesting, but if she can be with Zhou Yan...
Zhou Yan looked at Jiang Jinjin: "Aren't you uncomfortable? I'll follow you."
Jiang Jinjin: "??"
What about the kid cursing her
Zhou Yan looked at Mrs. Yun again. Although he was a cool person, he was still very polite to respected elders. He nodded and explained: "My dad asked me to take care of it, so I really can't leave. I'm sorry."
Jiang Jinjin understood that Zhou Yan was taking her as the blame.
He just didn't want to sit with Yun Xin, so he used her as an excuse.
The reason why Jiang Jinjin didn't dismantle his platform, apart from being one of his own, was that the astonishment on Yun Xin's face pleased her.
As soon as Zhou Yan said this, the people around him were secretly amazed.
They were all amazed that Zhou Mingfeng, the newlywed wife, was so talented that she managed to subdue Zhou's father and son at the same time. When Zhou Yan said this, there was no reluctance in his tone.
After being surprised, Mrs. Yun smiled and said: "Well, Ah Yan has always been a filial and sensible child."
Zhou Mingfeng had a panoramic view of all this, but he just smiled and said nothing.
In order to perform this play to the extreme, Jiang Jinjin purposely said to Zhou Yan when passing by Yun Xin: "Xiao Yan, I seem to have hypoglycemia, help me get a piece of cake, by the way, I don't Eat chocolate."
There was a smile in Zhou Mingfeng's eyes.
Zhou Yan felt his scalp go numb: What the hell is Xiao Yan?
But even so, Zhou Yan had to cooperate with her, and nodded patiently, "Okay."
Then obediently went to the self-service area.
Jiang Jinjin glanced at Yun Xin, and saw that the little girl seemed to be on the verge of falling, with a fragile expression.
She is more cautious.
But she could feel Yun Xin's subtlety towards her, as if she was a vicious stepmother who would kill Zhou Yan. She doesn't care what other people think, just like Yan Zhengfei is fooling around, talking and laughing with her, but who knows that Yan Zhengfei thinks the same as Yun Xin? It doesn't matter how she thinks, and she can't hear other people's voices, but at least she can't do too much, right
All right.
Don't irritate the little girl too much.
Under the leadership of the staff, they entered the auction hall. A woman in a black suit approached. This was the most imposing woman Jiang Jinjin had ever seen. She walked with wind. When the woman saw Zhou Mingfeng, a smile appeared on her face.
I don't know if it's Jiang Jinjin's illusion.
She always felt that there was something wrong with the way this woman looked at her.
She still counted in her heart, the woman looked at her for five seconds.
Zhou Mingfeng talked and laughed freely: "Mr. Xi."
Only then did Jiang Jinjin realize that this was the legendary President Xi Zhiyi who killed his younger brother.
No wonder it is so imposing.
Xi Zhiyi came over and stretched out her hand, shook hands with Zhou Mingfeng and then let go. She looked at Jiang Jinjin.
Zhou Mingfeng put his arms around Jiang Jinjin's waist, with an intimate gesture, and even a hint of affection in his tone, "Jinjin, this is Mr. Xi."
Xi Zhiyi paused slightly, doubt and surprise flashed in her eyes. After all, she is also a person who scares some people in the mall, and the city government is not even inferior to Zhou Mingfeng in terms of scheming. Almost no one can catch the changes in her expression, except Zhou Mingfeng.
"Mr. Xi, hello." Jiang Jinjin's attitude was generous, neither humble nor overbearing.
"President Xi, this is my wife." Zhou Mingfeng glanced at Xi Zhiyi, with a gentle and reserved smile in his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses.
What did Xi Zhiyi not understand
She stretched out her hand, as if seeing Jiang Jinjin for the first time, "Mrs. Zhou, hello."
The two hands clasped, and quickly let go.
Xi Zhiyi had a calm expression on her face, "Mr. Zhou, thank you and your wife for your support and coming here. Please forgive me if there is any lack of hospitality."
"Mr. Xi is polite." Zhou Mingfeng said in a calm tone, "I wish Mr. Xi's charity dinner a success in advance."
A staff member came and served wine.
Zhou Mingfeng had a drink with Xi Zhiyi.
Jiang Jinjin also clinked glasses with Xi Zhiyi, and Xi Zhiyi smiled: "President Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, I still have guests, excuse me."
"Well, Mr. Xi, go and do your work."
After Xi Zhiyi left with her assistant, Jiang Jinjin was still looking at her back.
Zhou Mingfeng took the red wine glass in her hand before she realized it and said in a low voice, "She just looked at me for a long time."
Zhou Yan had been on the sidelines for a long time, and couldn't help but say at this moment: "It didn't take long. I just took a look."
Jiang Jinjin turned his head, "Are you having trouble with me today?"
Zhou Yan: "Who told you to call me that?"
Zhou Mingfeng still hugged Jiang Jinjin, sighed helplessly, and explained in a low voice: "It's probably because she hasn't seen you yet, so she's a little curious."
"That's it." Jiang Jinjin recalled for a while, and it was true that Mr. Xi didn't look at her for a long time.
In fact, at this banquet, no one was staring at her for a long time.
The main reason was that Zhou Mingfeng was too low-key, and the wedding ceremony was very simple. Many people should have never seen her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinjin said, "That's your problem."
Zhou Mingfeng came back to his senses, nodded with a smile, "You're right."
The auction begins.
Jiang Jinjin sat in the middle, Zhou Mingfeng was on her left, and Zhou Yan was on her right, which made her feel at ease.
The auction items were indeed the same as what Zhou Mingfeng guessed. Most of them are jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. Everyone is here to support, so naturally they will not be too stingy. Jiang Jinjin watched a pair of calligraphy and paintings with a starting price of 4 million. After a round of bidding, it reached 800. The value of 10,000, and there are even people asking for a price.
After watching this scene, Jiang Jinjin just wanted to express that she really didn't understand the world of the rich.
So, she took out her phone and sent Zhou Mingfeng a WeChat message: [Is it valuable for collection?]
She also checked it just now, and the author of this calligraphy and painting is not very famous.
Zhou Mingfeng lowered his eyes, and edited word by word with his slender fingers on the phone: [Fortunately, this author is still alive.]
Jiang Jinjin almost laughed out loud: [? ?]
Zhou Mingfeng: [Objective facts.]
It's a gamble.
Jiang Jinjin: [So eight million is not a loss?]
Zhou Mingfeng: [If you like it, you won't lose money.]
Jiang Jinjin: [Okay, I don't like it very much.]
The two of them communicated on WeChat one after another. Jiang Jinjin raised her card twice out of the mentality of "everyone is here", but seeing the price getting higher and higher, she didn't bother to raise it again. This charity banquet may mean a lot to others, but to Zhou Mingfeng, it is just a banquet. Therefore, it is better to let those who want to establish a good relationship with Yuansheng Group to bid for the auction, and they will run with them as the background board.
When the two were chatting enthusiastically, the bidding introducer suddenly said, "Next,"
The introducer obviously paused, as if it was unexpected that such a situation would happen.
The atmosphere was suddenly quiet.
Jiang Jinjin locked the phone screen, looked up at the stage.
The introducer has first-class professional skills, and quickly reacted: "This is a painting by Mr. Xi Chengguang. If I remember correctly, this painting has won a very famous competition award. Mr. Xi Chengguang is a famous artist. Superb…”
Jiang Jinjin was attracted by the whispered discussion of the people behind.
Behind is also a couple.
"How could Xi Chengguang's paintings be auctioned? It shouldn't be. He has passed away, and his things are very precious relics. Why is the Xi family still auctioning them off? What do you mean?"
"Who knows. It seems that the main event is this painting, should we follow?"
"It depends on the situation, whether Mr. Sun will follow or not, but what happened to the Xi family today? It's so strange, I really can't figure it out."
Jiang Jinjin was still trying to listen to the gossip.
Only then did I realize why the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became weird. It turned out that the artist of the auctioned painting was Mr. Xi's deceased brother
This is indeed very strange.
She was too focused on listening to some "rich gossip", and coupled with the dim lighting in the arena, she didn't even see Zhou Mingfeng's cold eyes.
When she turned her head to look at the painting on the stage again, Zhou Mingfeng returned to her previous expression, but unconsciously clenched the hands that were casually placed on her knees.
In all fairness, from Jiang Jinjin's aesthetic point of view, this painting is indeed well drawn.
It can be seen that the painter seems to be in a good mood, and the colors are bright and well matched.
In the painting are the blue sky, the sea and the beach.
The starting price was two million.
Jiang Jinjin wanted to raise the placard, but he didn't want to.
Zhou Mingfeng saw her hesitation, this time he didn't send another message, but leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Like it?"
Jiang Jinjin didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
It's not good if her true psychology is spoken out and heard by others.
So she tapped her phone, and when someone else was bidding, she lowered her hair and sent a message: [Is this collectible?]
Zhou Mingfeng paused slightly: [Don't worry about this, do you like it?]
Jiang Jinjin: [I like it.]
Zhou Mingfeng looked at the word "Like" on the screen of the mobile phone, and his eyes were dimly lit.
He paused, and then edited the message "Then shoot"...
Before he sent it out, her message came in again: [However, if it exceeds four digits, I don't want to take pictures.]
Maybe she really didn't appreciate the cells.
This kind of painting is really good to hang on the wall, but if the price exceeds four figures, let's forget it.
She's too vulgar, she always thinks it's millions or even tens of millions, isn't it good to buy a house
Zhou Mingfeng was stunned. Looking at the news, his expression became extremely happy for a moment.
Even Zhou Yan looked over, wondering: Are these two people tired? What are they talking about so happily?
