I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 318 An auction begins without warning

Li Xin and Duan Fei were the first to whistle: "I knew there would be a second half! Otherwise, it would be too boring! Brother Xian, what are you going to do? Whistle for everyone?"

Ye Xian laughed and said, "It's my birthday, shouldn't you be the one performing a spin for me?"

Li Xin immediately pulled a bottle of beer from under the table: "Shall I start now?"

Everyone laughed.

Ye Xian pointed at Li Xin and said, "Actually, my original idea was to have a meal with all the relatives and friends here today, play some mahjong, and relax. After all, everyone is usually very busy and tired, so it's rare to relax."

However, considering I'm a public figure now, my birthday celebrations can't be so simple anymore. But I don't want to be like some celebrities and internet influencers, clamoring for donations in their live streams, selling goods, exploiting viewers, or showing off gifts. So after much thought, I've decided to hold a charity auction for the second half of today's event.

"A charity auction?"

Li Yunxi raised an eyebrow, and everyone looked at Ye Xian in surprise.

Brother Xian always does things unexpectedly, and this time he's no exception, acting out of the ordinary.

What exactly does he want to do?

……

Ye Xian walked to a corner of the hall, where there was a table covered with a black cloth.

Ye Xian gestured to Qian Duoduo to turn on the fill light.

Sun Li then switched the live streaming camera on.

The members of the Qiuye Yanxuan team stopped playing mahjong and found their places to cooperate with Ye Xian. Ye Xian had already arranged this task for everyone and communicated with the Kuaiyin official team.

Wang Yin quickly led everyone to arrange the chairs, instantly transforming the venue into a small meeting room.

Seeing such a skilled group of people, Li Yunxi couldn't help but smile: "I knew he was prepared. Look at how proficient they are, they've obviously rehearsed."

Jiang Tian said angrily, "This guy just deliberately lied to me!"

Ding Ding looked at the mahjong table with some reluctance. What a pity! She had finally won a few rounds, and she had even won against the Sixth Princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Who knows when we'll win again?

Ye Xian walked to the table and looked at the live broadcast camera: "Everyone, the scientific expedition is over, and many of the examinees have been admitted to their dream universities. However, some of the students come from poor families, and I plan to sponsor some of the poor examinees."

Therefore, all the tips received tonight and the proceeds from the auction later will be used to help science students in need, just like the previous charity gala.

Now, I'm about to list the first item for auction. The link in the backend will be updated simultaneously, so please note that auctioned items are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and have no after-sales service. A 100 RMB auction deposit is required to participate, and it will be automatically refunded after the auction ends. So please bid carefully.

[Shrimp Without Blinking: What the heck? An auction starts without warning? What's Brother Xian up to?]

[He's got the whims, just the money's not enough: a charity auction! How many times has Brother Xian done charity work now? Once for Typhoon Haizhou, once for the dragon boat race prize money, once for helping farmers sell watermelons. A quick count reveals just how many good deeds Brother Xian has done!]

[Chest-pressing cookies: There's also the scholarship established in Xian Ge's name by the Central South Conservatory of Music, but that can be disregarded. The most impressive thing was during Typhoon Haizhou, when he donated money and performed a benefit concert; that alone amounted to more donations than many celebrities have made in their entire lives.]

[The Broken-Bone Earthworm: Is this staged? What can he possibly sell at a charity auction? His own used, smelly socks?]

……

The fans in the live stream were surprised that Ye Xian would do this for his birthday, and they were all a little confused, but they all gave him a thumbs up because Ye Xian was obviously doing a good deed again.

The number of concurrent viewers in the live stream also began to surge at this moment, as Kuaiyin officially started streaming the content.

Ye Xian reached under the black cloth, felt around, and pulled out a card.

He looked at it and suddenly smiled, "The first item up for auction today is something that is very meaningful to me, which is my only violin from childhood to adulthood."

This violin has accompanied me through many days and nights, and you've often seen me playing it in my live streams. Now I'm taking it out, hoping that those who take pictures of it will cherish it.

The violin has a starting bid of 1000 yuan; see the link in the backstage area.

Sun Li took the violin out from behind the black cloth, and everyone immediately recognized it as the violin that Ye Xian often used in his live broadcasts.

"Mom, is Ye Xian really willing to put this violin up for auction?"

Qiu Qing, who had just returned home, hadn't quite grasped the significance of the violin yet, but she understood it better than anyone else.

The first musical instrument they ever played was the violin, followed by the piano, cello, erhu, guzheng, and others. They endured a lot of hardship with the violin, and their first level 10 certificate was also for the violin.

This violin is nothing short of Ye Xian's most prized possession.

"When preparing the items for auction, he hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to put them up for auction. I don't know why he wanted to auction this violin."

Qiu's mother was also filled with emotion. She and Ye's mother had bought this violin together. At that time, Qiu Qing had one and Ye Xian had one.

She didn't understand why Ye Xian was willing to put it up for auction.

However, things are inanimate. If this violin can truly help many impoverished students taking the college entrance exam, then it won't be considered a waste of its potential.

Moreover, it's still unknown who will ultimately own this violin. Qiu's mother believes that whoever manages to acquire this violin at auction will definitely cherish it.

[Do whatever you want on the kang: I thought Brother Xian would auction off his autograph right away, but he came out with such sincerity! This violin would be perfect even if you bought it and used it yourself!]

[Thinking about what to do: Wow, I was only in a moment of distraction and the price has already jumped to 1 yuan? Who's so rich?]

[Lady, please wait: A decent violin already costs several thousand yuan, not to mention this is the violin Brother Xian has used since childhood. It's not surprising that a wealthy die-hard fan would spend tens of thousands of yuan to get it, especially since this is a charity auction.]

[There are always women who want to sleep with me: 3? Are you crazy? There are so many rich people! Hmm? Why does this bidding name look so familiar? Isn't that Princess Six's alt account?]

……

Fans in the live stream immediately noticed that the highest bid was from the ID "Please Call Me Goddess," but celebrities like Ding Ding, Jiang Tian, ​​and Liu Xiaoxiao were not to be outdone, and the price was instantly pushed up to 8.

"Your Highness, although you are proficient in all the arts, you don't usually play musical instruments. Why don't you give us this excellent opportunity?"

Jiang Tian saw Li Yunxi raising the price with his head down and couldn't help but complain.

Li Yunxi didn't even look up: "I plan to buy it for my son or daughter to use in the future."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned. "Weren't you single? When did you get a son and a daughter?"

The fans in the live stream heard it and went wild.

[Understanding Clothes Well: Who is the Sixth Prince Consort? How come we don't know?]

[Kun Zi Jue: Although I know you like Ye Xian, it shouldn't be him, right?]

[The Art of Extracting Juice: Listen carefully, the Sixth Princess said "later"! Later!]

[The female benefactor was startled: Oh, oh, oh, I misheard! You scared me to death! Although I wouldn't be too angry if the Sixth Princess and Ye Xian had an illegitimate child, I would absolutely curse Ye Xian for life!]
