"Hello everyone, I am Gu Yina, the auctioneer for this charity auction. I am very pleased that you could all take time out of your busy schedules to attend."
"Next, for our first auction item, it is a limited edition pair of sneakers from celebrity Wang Bobo."
"These sneakers are personally signed by superstar Beck and are a limited edition from Nike, with only ten pairs worldwide."
"As the saying goes, rarity breeds value. The starting bid for these sneakers is three hundred thousand yuan, with a minimum increment of five thousand yuan. The auction begins now."
"Three hundred and ten thousand!"
"Three hundred and thirty thousand."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"......"
"Four hundred and twenty thousand!"
As Gu Yina's voice fell, the venue erupted with a chorus of shouts.
However, the value of these shoes was limited. At four hundred and twenty thousand, no one else continued to bid.
"Next, for our second auction item, a limited edition Chanel handbag."
Gu Yina's gavel strikes echoed throughout the venue.
The auction proceeded very quickly. After all, it was a charity auction, and no one would truly come to such a place to bid seriously for an item.
After about an hour, more than half of the auction items had been bid upon.
Fang Fang, standing beside Chen Mo, appeared somewhat nervous.
She knew that her item was coming up soon.
"Young lady, you seem quite nervous." Just then, a voice suddenly sounded beside Fang Fang.
Fang Fang was startled and looked to her side.
She suddenly found an old man standing next to her, though she didn't know when he had arrived.
"Grandpa, I am a little nervous. The item I'm bidding on is coming up soon." Fang Fang politely replied, seeing that the person was an elder.
Chen Mo looked at the old man.
However, when Chen Mo clearly saw the old man's appearance, his brow furrowed slightly.
Because Chen Mo recognized him. This old man was the disreputable Wu Guangxiao he had seen on Long Heixiang's phone.
Chen Mo didn't understand why Wu Guangxiao had suddenly appeared here.
Was he planning to make a move against him?
As Chen Mo pondered, Wu Guangxiao spoke again, "Young lady, although I look old, I have a youthful heart. If you call me grandpa, I'll get angry."
Fang Fang felt goosebumps all over her body seeing the old man, who could be her grandfather, acting so coy.
However, she still gave an awkward smile and did not respond.
She thought that if she ignored him, the old man would leave on his own.
However, Wu Guangxiao acted as if he hadn't seen Fang Fang's discomfort and continued, "From now on, just call me Brother Wu. I'm not that much older than you."
Fang Fang finally showed a look of disgust. "Grandpa, we're not familiar with each other."
Wu Guangxiao smiled, "Young lady, aren't we acquainted now? No one is familiar from birth; feelings are cultivated over time."
Fang Fang reached out and linked her arm with Chen Mo's, saying in a deep voice, "Grandpa, please leave, or my boyfriend will get angry."
Upon hearing this, Wu Guangxiao laughed again. "Heh, young lady, you must be participating in this auction too, right?"
"So what if I am?" Fang Fang asked.
Wu Guangxiao pointed to a nearby advertisement board. "I heard that the highest bidder can become the ambassador for Jiangbei. That's something many celebrities dream of."
Seeing Fang Fang remain silent, Wu Guangxiao continued, "Young lady, this old brother has been feeling empty and lonely lately. If you could accompany me, I could make you the most dazzling star tonight."
Wu Guangxiao's words were very clear.
As he finished speaking, he stared at Fang Fang with a playful gaze. In his opinion, as long as Fang Fang was a smart person, she would know how to choose.
Fang Fang's expression gradually turned cold. "Sir, please have some self-respect!"
Wu Guangxiao was unfazed. "Young lady, if a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them. Why must you ruin your future for a young man?"
"If I were you, and the woman I loved had such a great opportunity, I would never let her give it up."
"Because that is true love."
Clearly, this last sentence was meant for Chen Mo.
"You old pervert, are you saying your wife lets other people ride her every day?" Chen Mo asked mockingly.
"Pfft!" Fang Fang, whose face had been cold, suddenly burst into laughter at Chen Mo's words.
Wu Guangxiao's face, however, turned extremely unpleasant.
Chen Mo's words were practically slapping him, Wu Guangxiao, in the face publicly!
"Kid, dare you repeat what you just said?" Wu Guangxiao asked, his face dark, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes.
Chen Mo sneered, "Shameless dog, you like wearing a cuckold's hat and having your wife ridden by others. I don't have that hobby. Scum like you with a diseased mind shouldn't be here, but in a mental hospital, where doctors can properly examine you."
Wu Guangxiao's face was grim.
His fists were clenched tightly, as if he were about to attack Chen Mo right there.
After all, in the eyes of a martial artist like him, Chen Mo was merely an ant!
"Our next auction item comes from a rising star in the entertainment industry, Miss Fang Fang!"
Just then, Gu Yina's voice rang out from the stage.
She had received instructions to heavily promote Fang Fang if she participated, to build momentum for her and attract more attention.
"It's our turn," Fang Fang said nervously, quickly pointing towards the stage.
Chen Mo no longer paid attention to Wu Guangxiao and also looked at the display.
Gu Yina walked slowly to the front of the display.
However, when her gaze landed on the item on the display, her expression froze.
Because Gu Yina found that there was nothing on the display except for a piece of paper.
Gu Yina frantically signaled to the staff, thinking there had been an oversight.
This was a celebrity the boss had personally instructed her to look after, so what was this business of bringing out just a piece of paper?
The staff member looked helpless and pointed to the display, "That is the item Ms. Fang submitted for auction."
Upon hearing the staff member's words, Gu Yina's face instantly stiffened.
However, her composure was quite good, and she quickly recovered, picking up the piece of paper.
Holding the microphone, Gu Yina's face was extremely awkward as she struggled to find the words. "Ahem, Ms. Fang's auction item is a blank sheet of paper."
"Whoosh!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the venue erupted in an uproar.
Many people looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
Gu Yina continued, "I understand Ms. Fang's intention. Ms. Fang wants to tell everyone that in this impure world, there are still children who need help. They are like this blank piece of paper. If they are forgotten by the world, they will turn black, but if they receive the world's attention, they will be filled with gratitude."
After saying this, Gu Yina wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking to herself that she was quite a talent!
