My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 222 Auction (Part )
When I came out of the room again, it was almost dusk.

When they came out, Dong Simiao had changed into a formal dress, looking elegant and graceful, while Jiang Chen was even more handsome and elegant.

Although Dong Simiao called Jiang Chen over mainly for the purpose of accompanying her, that was not entirely the case.

She wanted to bring Jiang Chen to the forefront and introduce him to high-level people from all walks of life.

Just as she said, Jiang Chen should stand in the halo and become a noticeable figure. Only in this way would Yuan Qiuye and the others be more cautious when they take action.

This first step naturally involves various banquets and gatherings.

There is a charity auction tonight and many distinguished people will come. Dong Simiao also takes this opportunity to push Jiang Chen out.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner, the third-floor lobby of the hotel was brightly lit and crowded with people.

It's not the official opening time yet, and people who have entered are just walking around and getting to know each other through introductions from friends.

Jiang Chen stood in a large group of people, nodding and smiling along with Dong Simiao. The people passing by all had titles of "boss" and looked like big shots. They were all in high spirits, talking to Dong Simiao with the confidence and grace of successful people, and occasionally gave Jiang Chen a smile, but Jiang Chen always felt that there was some special emotion hidden behind that smile.

As a man who had experienced life and death, Jiang Chen could keenly capture this emotion.

The netherworld perception was quietly activated, and Jiang Chen could even clearly judge their moods.

Some people are jealous. Why can you become Dong Simiao's man?
Some people are disdainful, isn't this just a gigolo who lives on his looks?

Some people are wondering what exactly does Dong Simiao like about this person?
Everyone has their own ideas, but they are hidden in polite smiles and greetings.

Accompanying Dong Simiao, Jiang Chen felt that he was wearing not one mask, but two.

One mask is called smile, and the other is also called smile.

Everyone wears a smiling mask.

After a harmonious greeting, the show started and everyone sat down in their seats.

Because of Dong Simiao's status, Jiang Chen had the honor to sit with her in the second row. The people in the front row were all CEOs of large companies. You couldn't tell who was awesome by listening to their introductions, but you could tell by looking at their seats.

Sitting next to Jiang Chen, Dong Simiao pointed at the people in the front row and said, "This charity auction is organized by Pioneer Group. The one sitting in the middle is Zhu Jiazhen, the executive president of Pioneer Group."

Jiang Chen took a look and saw that it was a slightly plump middle-aged woman.

Looking at her fingers, Jiang Chen knew that she was not the one to receive the precepts, so he asked softly, "Is she a member of the association?"

"I don't know. I'm just an ordinary worker in the association now." Dong Simiao answered aggrievedly.

Although she is a big star, as a non-ordained person, she has no status in the association.

Jiang Chen looked around and said casually: "The capital city is really awesome. It's just an ordinary charity auction, but it can attract many people to receive the precepts."

"Is it coming for you?" Dong Simiao looked back but couldn't figure out what it was.

"I'm not sure, it could just be a coincidence. The emperor is standing at the foot of the imperial city, and there are many important figures there. If a brick is thrown down and hits ten people, eight of them are officials and two are people receiving ordination. It's normal." Jiang Chen said casually.

At this time, the host had already spoken on the stage, thanking all the wealthy guests for coming and donating to charity, and nominating a few people.

After a series of eloquent speeches, the auction officially began.

The contents of the auction are very rich, including jewelry, antiques, famous paintings, etc., but most of them are not top-notch goods. Generally, the most expensive ones are only worth millions. After all, this is a charity auction, and there is no need to bring out too good things.

So Jiang Chen didn't care and just listened to the prices being bid without even raising the sign in his hand.

At this time, a rosewood loft was being auctioned. The three-story wooden loft was exquisitely made and showed ancient charm. It was not an antique, but the price was not low due to the material and workmanship. At this moment, it had been bid up to more than 2 million. "Aren't you going to bid?" Dong Simiao looked at him with concern.

The reason why she brought Jiang Chen to this kind of occasion was to give him a chance to be on camera and make him more famous.

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "I don't have any money."

"I'll pay for it." Dong Simiao rolled her eyes at him and leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear, "There will be a glass jade bracelet later. Go and take a picture of it and give it to me."

Jiang Chen replied in a low voice: "If you want me to be famous, you should take a photo and give it to me."

Dong Simiao smiled with her hands covering her mouth. She nodded: "That's right, China's number one gigolo, this can definitely become a hot topic."

They talked and laughed, and time passed slowly.

The camera was pointed at them at some point. They are a perfect couple and are bound to attract the envy of countless people.

Whether it is Dong Simiao or Jiang Chen, for them, this is just a small beginning. No one expects to cause any big waves this time, so it doesn’t matter even if they return empty-handed.

But at this moment, another item appeared on the stand above.

It was a sandalwood box. After opening the box, the host took out a small black jade statue from it.

The statue was about half a foot tall, and it was a sculpture of an Iron Man suit. It looked very majestic, and the carving was exquisite. It was obviously a modern craft. But when Jiang Chen saw the statue, the metal block in his sea of ​​consciousness inexplicably began to rotate, emitting a faint glow.

Huh?
Jiang Chen was surprised.

How can a modern artifact make a block of metal move?

He was just wondering when the host called out, "You see, this is an Iron Man figurine, but this figurine is not ordinary. It was made by Mr. Jiang Chengli, a famous carving master in my country. Two months ago, Master Jiang passed away due to illness, and this Iron Man figurine is his last work. The figurine is made of Hetian black jade and is exquisitely crafted. It was donated by Mr. Jiang's descendant Jiang Wenyu. Let us thank Mr. Jiang Wenyu."

There was sparse applause at the scene, and a middle-aged man not far away smiled and nodded to all parties.

The host has called out: "The starting price is two million, and the minimum bid per bid is one hundred thousand."

Jiang Chen took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Zhao Xiaoqi: "Do you know Jiang Chengli?"

Zhao Xiaoqi quickly replied: "I know, he is a Level 6 ordained person from Beijing, and he is also the head of an art company under Baitong Group. What's the matter?"

Baitong Group?
It is also one of the seven major groups of the association.

"Nothing, just asking." Jiang Chen replied casually.

Just at this moment someone had already called a price, and Jiang Chen raised his hand.

The host said, "Two million four hundred thousand. Mr. Jiang Chen from Feiyue Media bid two million four hundred thousand."

The host is very awesome. He remembers the identities of all the guests and makes sure they mention their numbers every time they bid. This is one of the meanings of charity auctions. Good deeds must be publicized!
Dong Simiao looked at Jiang Chen in surprise: "You want this?"

"Well, I feel like this thing is somewhat useful to me." Jiang Chen smiled.

"What's the use? Wearing an iron suit over there?" Dong Simiao gave him a blank look.

"Who knows, maybe we can find a bargain. As promised, you pay for it."

Dong Simiao raised her hand and wanted to strangle him, but after thinking it over, she held back.

I'm so unlucky to have such a stinky man. I can't even beat him!
