When he said this, his brother, who was sitting next to him, instantly felt the air turning colder.
So he shut his mouth and said nothing more.
At this moment, the host started to announce the official start of the charity banquet and invited Fu s.h.i.+qin onto the stage for the speech.
Fu s.h.i.+gin adjusted his suit and went on stage to explain the medical and educational efforts of the Chang’an Charity Funds in Hua Land. Then he thanked the people who had always supported Hua Land and all the guests present.
Then the auction started.
The first auction item was a pair of porcelain vases from the Qing Dynasty, starting at 200,000 yuan.
After a round of bidding, the deal was reached at 800,000 yuan.
‘The following items were all antiques and the price was getting higher and higher.
An antique from the Ming Dynasty started at 500,000 yuan and reached a price of 2 million yuan.
Gu Weiwei raised the sign, but did not buy it.
Fu s.h.i.+yi got very sleepy and complained with a yawn.
“The so-called charity auction is actually just a large-scale show-off party.”
‘They were all competing over who was richer, so they had bought the things.
“This is a charity auction, if you complain one more time, you will donate tens of millions!” Fu s.h.i.+qin snorted.
He did not care about showing off his wealth. As long as the foundation raised enough money, this year’s charity banquet would be successful.
Then in the future, more children in remote areas would be taught better lessons and have better medical access.
Although the Fu Family was the richest family in Hua Land, they had been doing charity workfor generations and they had never slacked off.
Fu s.h.i.+yi shut up instantly. He had worked so hard to get the money, and if he donated too much, his heart would ache.
‘As they were chatting, the auction continued.
With eight million yuan, Collis had bidded for a contemporary oil painting called Home.
Then the host invited Collis onto the stage and accepted the cheque.
At the same time, he also announced that Gu Weiwei should go on stage and present the auction for Collis.
Standing on the stage, Collis looked embarra.s.sed for a moment, obviously not wanting to share the same stage with her.
But she could not turn him down at such an occasion.
Hearing the host calling her name, Gu Weiwei glanced at Fu Hanzheng.
Why did he invite her to such an occasion? It was a lie to ask her to attend the charity banquet to spend time. It was really so that she could bring down Collis.
Maybe it was because he had heard that Collis had posted a message to demean her the other day.
She had not even thought about it, but he had already lost his temper.
Under the guidance of the host, Collis gave a speech about charity and said that she would use her artist’s influence to try her best to help more people.
Her words made the audience burst into applause.
Gu Weiwei walked onto the stage in her black gown, hugged Collis politely, took the painting from the host and presented it to Collis.
“Collis and Miss. Mu are both famous actresses of Hua Land. Thank you for your generosity and thank you for attending today’s charity banquet. Miss. Mu Weiwei, I heard that you have not been on any work for more than a year and have stopped your work, is that right?” the host asked with a smile.
Gu Weiwei chuckled. “I have been slacking off at work for more than a year. I got lost because I walked too fast on this road, so I wanted to settle down and make a better movie.”
Although that was not the truth, she could not possibly say in public that she had been away giving birth to children…
