I've been reborn, but you still think I'm a PUA?

Chapter 306 Charity Auction Downstairs

Staying at the venue meant just smiling and drinking, without even having time to sit down and rest. Gao Furong was eager to go downstairs and take a breath.

"Then I'll go down and take a look."

After saying that, she turned and left the hall, curling her lips where Zhou Yuan couldn't see.

The exchange meeting has been started for almost an hour, and it is impossible to be late for so long. Those big shots will definitely not come. I don’t know why Zhou Yuan is so arrogant. If you don’t know, you would think she is so prestigious!

When Gao Furong was dating Xu Yang, she had heard him say that inviting guests meant lowering one's status. It wasn't about lowering oneself, but about making the invited guests feel respected. But Zhou Yuan was different...

Gao Furong paused as she stepped into the elevator, and suddenly realized that she was thinking of Xu Yang again!

The walls of the elevator were mirror-clear. She stared at herself in a daze, then forced a bitter smile. Jianghai City, her hometown, had a magic that awakened the past. Only a few days after returning, she thought of Xu Yang many times like a demon.

The last time she stepped into the villa where Yang Lu lived, she thought of Linhai No. 1.

When she returned home and saw her mother Wang Guifen and her father Gao Zhisheng who had facial paralysis, she immediately wanted to ask Xu Yang for help.

After hearing her mother talk about how she couldn't find a job and was forced to work for Yang Lu as a servant, she realized that Xu Yang's family's businesses were almost spread throughout the entire Jianghai City. She couldn't help but think of the past when they had all the wealth and glory at their fingertips.

Whenever I think of the past, my heart aches!

Gao Furong lowered her head, her face filled with an unremovable gloom.

At this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding sound. She walked out and asked the receptionist:

"Hello, I'm from Juqing Finance. Didn't you receive the people on our VIP list?"

The receptionist smiled her typical smile and said, "Yes, we have received you. We have also placed a sign at the elevator door so that VIPs will see it before entering the elevator. However..."

"But what?"

Gao Furong was puzzled and looked back at the elevator door. At the same time, the voice of the receptionist rang in her ears.

"But there's a charity auction downstairs, and your VIPs are all attracted to it."

There were two signboards placed in the open space next to the elevator door, one with the conspicuous logo of Juqing, and the other with the huge logo of Yuanxin Securities!

Yuanxin Securities held a charity auction downstairs from them?

And they snatched away the VIPs belonging to their giant?

Gao Furong seemed to be struck by lightning. She froze for a moment before rushing forward and staring at the charity auction sign. There were only a few words on it, saying that all proceeds from the auction would be donated to charity organizations. The list below was filled with the names of the event organizers: Director of the Taxation Bureau Wang Guodong, retired director Han Wangyue, President of the Jianghai City Commerce Association, Deputy Director of the Education Bureau, President of the Charity Association, outstanding entrepreneur Xu Haixing, Executive President of Yuanxin Securities Li Chi, Executive President of Jiale Milk Tea Jiang Chenghui, etc.

At the bottom are the names of several invited media outlets.

In comparison, the empty signboard of Giant Financial next to it seemed unappealing.

Gao Furong had a bad feeling, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 21st floor with trembling hands.

At this moment, on the 21st floor——

"36 per time, Mr. He bid 36, is there a higher price?"

"Okay, no one raised a sign. 36 twice, 36 three times—"

"Boom!"

The redwood auction hammer struck the bottom case with a crisp sound. With one final strike, Xu Yang extended his hand and announced loudly, "Congratulations, Mr. He! Collection No. 9 is yours!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a wave of applause. Under the round tables, Mr. He, who was sitting near the front, stood up, turned around like a winner, and smiled and nodded to his competitors.

"Congratulations, Mr. He!"

"Mr. He is a great writer. We are inferior to him!"

The pleasant words came like a spring breeze, and Mr. He smiled so hard that two more wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, even though the collection No. 9 was just an ordinary agate ornament with a value of around !

Logically speaking, no one would be happy about spending 360,000 yuan to buy something worth around 200,000 yuan.

But this time it’s different—

"Please ask Mr. He to come up to the stage and shake hands with our host!"

Xu Yang took a side step, made room for him, and pointed in the direction where he was pointing. The leaders sitting in a row stood up calmly and took photos with Mr. He in front of the carefully decorated background wall.

The media invited to attend the charity auction came forward to take pictures, and the flash lights froze the smiles of investment tycoon Mr. He and Jianghai municipal leaders at this moment.

It’s a loss to buy an agate ornament for 360,000 yuan, but it’s a big profit to buy a chance to take a photo with the director, bureau chief and president and appear on TV!

In the seats, the investors watching this scene were filled with envy. They wished they could be the ones taking photos and shaking hands with others!

Some investors couldn't sit still and urged, "Mr. Xu, when do we start bidding on the next piece of collection?"

Let’s start soon, they have the money ready, just waiting to shake hands!

Xu Yang just sat down and stood up again, loosening his tie and said, "Okay, then we will auction the No. 10 collection..."

Sitting below the seat, Li Chi smiled with satisfaction when he saw this.

Before this, he was organizing an exchange meeting for Juqing, and was extremely anxious about openly challenging Yuanxin. However, he never expected that in just one day, Xu Yang helped him turn the situation around. Not only did he use his connections to invite several directors, but he also held the charity auction in a very impressive location, right downstairs from the Juqing Financial Exchange Meeting!

Not only that, Xu Yang also placed the signboard next to Juqing, fearing that the distinguished guests invited by Juqing Finance would not see it.

What’s the difference between this and giving the middle finger to Juqing Finance?

Li Chi smiled helplessly, but he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart. Although this behavior of stealing other people's customers was not honorable, he was a little excited. What was going on?

Looking up at the stage, Xu Yang's voice was a little hoarse, and he was tired after shouting for so long.

Li Chi turned his head and glanced at the wide-open door, and accidentally found a strange figure standing outside.

He looked closely and saw that the woman outside the door was wearing a black suit with an ID card hanging around her neck. She didn't look like an employee of Yuanxin, but rather from Juqing Finance!

It's been an hour, and Juqing Finance finally reacted?

Li Chi was about to laugh when he heard Nora's voice:

"Dad, that looks like Gao Furong!"

Ning Feifei was sitting next to Nara. She whispered, "Gao Furong is here?"

The two looked in the direction Li Chi was looking and saw Gao Furong outside the door.

From the very beginning, the idea was to intercept the guests invited by Juqing, so this charity auction was open to all guests. The door of the venue was wide open and one could see what was happening outside from the seats.

At this moment, Gao Furong was standing outside in shock, and behind her, a group of people were rushing over...
