Chapter 1710: Charity Banquet (1)
Yang Sheng paused for a moment before nodding as if he understood something.
“Yes, I understand, Master Qi!”
Qi Lei did not say anything else. He just turned his head and looked at the surface of the river that was covered by the misty rain as he breathed in the clouds leisurely.
Yang Sheng quickly retreated.
Soon, Qi Lei was the only person left by the river. He stood there for a long time. When he was about to leave, it was already a long, long while later.
…
The sky gradually fell silent. The weather in City Z was very gloomy in the evening, but it did not rain. The street lights were turned on early in the morning.
When the lights flashed, the noise of the entire city seemed to be livelier than usual.
The International Exhibition Center, bathed in brilliant lights, was no longer as quiet as before, it was bustling with activity.
In front of the magnificent entrance, guests were constantly coming and going. At this time, many people from the upper-cla.s.s society had already arrived.
The appeal of the Dongfang family has always been great, especially since they were the leading antique jewelry company in the city. People in the circle naturally gave them face, not to mention that the items on display tonight had attracted the interest of many people. Of course, and this was an extraordinary charity banquet.
On the stairs in front of the entrance of the venue, Dongfang Liuyun was standing leisurely at the side, looking down at the doc.u.ments that Ding Xiaoling had just sent over.
“Manager Yun, the invited guests have almost all signed up. Vice President Ren hasn’t arrived yet, but Vice President Yi has already come over. He was looking for you just now.”
Ding Xiaoling reported carefully.
Dongfang Liuyun did not show any expression on her face when she heard this.
“Why is he looking for me? What did he donate tonight? Remind him not to embarra.s.s the Dongfang family. I don’t want the same thing to happen again.”
Dongfang Liuyun’s words immediately stunned Ding Xiaoling!
Of course, she knew the meaning behind Dongfang Liuyun’s words the best.
The Dongfang family’s prestige in the circle was very high. They had previously held a charity gala, but at that time, Dongfang Yi…
Of course, Dongfang Yi could not be blamed for that matter. At that time, he was overseas and his wife had donated in his name. It just so happened that the person in charge was Dongfang Yu, so the result was naturally somewhat embarra.s.sing.
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoling could not help but laugh and hurriedly said, “Manager Yun, don’t worry. Vice President Yi was very diligent this time. Oh, right, President Qi also asked Yang Sheng to send over the donated auction item, the price is quite high. After the appraisal, it should be at least this amount. We plan to put this item at the end of the finale.”
“Did he send anything? Didn’t he send a string of coral bracelets before?”
Dongfang Liuyun frowned.
Ding Xiaoling coughed lightly, lowered her voice, and moved closer to Dongfang Liuyun, saying, “It’s a nine-eyed heavenly jewel bracelet… Obviously, he wants to support Missus.”
“Nonsense! What a spendthrift man! Take it back! I don’t even have this thing, how can I take it out for auction? Just that coral bracelet is already pretty good. Does he think that these people in the circle really care that much? They’re just a group of people who put on the appearance of philanthropists. If I wasn’t the organizer, I wouldn’t even be willing to take out the treasures that I painstakingly collected.”
Dongfang Liuyun immediately said so without saying anything else.
“Go make some arrangements and intercept the items.”
“This…”
“This is an order,” Dongfang Liuyun frowned and said unhappily.
“Yes, I understand, Manager Yun!”
Only then did Ding Xiaoling reply.
And Dongfang Liuyun felt her heart ache just thinking about it!
“Manager Yun, look, it’s manager Rou and the others!”
At this moment, Ding Xiaoling’s voice was heard again. Dongfang Liuyun followed her gaze and looked over. Indeed, he saw Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er walking towards the entrance together.
Dongfang Rou’er was wearing a backless, light golden evening gown that trailed on the floor. She was dressed elegantly. Of course, Jin Sheng was also dressed in a black slim-fitted suit. Standing together with Dongfang Rou’er, they looked like a perfect couple.
The moment the two of them appeared, the flashes at the entrance kept flashing at the two of them.
Of course, Dongfang Rou’er also gently waved at the media. There were reporters asking questions like ‘when are you and Mr. Jin getting married?’ and Dongfang Rou’er was smart, she only gave Jin sheng a gentle look, and Jin Sheng hugged her very tacitly.
“I want to bring her home as soon as possible obviously, wait for our good news.”
“Thank you, everyone!”
“Thank you!”
…
Dongfang Liuyun crossed her arms in front of her chest with interest. Watching Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er below her, a rare smile appeared on her cold and otherworldly face.
“Manager Yun, ever since the two of them got engaged, they have been very high-profile in front of the media. Do you think they are trying to gain the support of public opinion by doing this?”
Dongfang Liuyun did not think much of Ding Xiaoling’s words and glanced at her casually. “Do you think that public opinion will be of much use? Will it make a difference to their respective holdings? Or will it make them do something?”
“Let’s not say that this is an internal matter within the Dongfang Group. If they want to create public opinion, they have to see what kind of material they can give to the media. Although the internal strife within the Dongfang Group is very serious, they will not do anything that will harm the company’s interests. Otherwise, we can totally use the incident that they created to bite them back.”
Dongfang Liuyun a.n.a.lyzed it very incisively. After saying that, she looked at Ding Xiaoling and said, “You’re still a little impatient. You’ve been by my father’s side for many years, but you still haven’t learned this little bit of his ability.”
Secretary Ding smiled awkwardly and helplessly, but her tone was very sincere, “I’m sorry, Manager Yun. I’m just a little anxious. President Gan has always been calm and composed. Manager Yun, I’ve been by your side for a long time. I suddenly find that you’re quite similar to President Gan. You’re always so calm and relaxed. You’re also like Lawyer Song. You have a pair of sharp eyes and a sharp mind. I really admire you.”
“You don’t have to praise me. I know my level and ability very well. For example, right now, I don’t think I have the ability to deal with them. I’ll most likely have to rely on President Gan’s plan.”
As Dongfang Liuyun said this, it was obvious that she did not want to continue this topic, so she said, “Alright, you go deal with what I told you just now. It’s about time.”
“Alright!”
Secretary Ding then turned around and walked inside. Of course, at this moment, Jin Sheng and Dongfang Rou’er also walked unhurriedly into the venue.
Dongfang Ren did not come over, but Dongfang Yi did.
This seemed rather interesting.
