C68

At 8: 30 PM, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed.

It seemed that the banquet was about to begin.

Just then, Chen Yu had finished eating and was preparing to meet up with Yang Hong.

However, they saw Yang Hong moving around the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

Chen Yu smiled in understanding as he walked over.

"Little Yu, I've finally found you. After strolling around, I still haven't seen you. I thought you left …"

Yang Hong heaved a sigh of relief.

"This is a rare opportunity, how can I leave? "I have a stomachache. I went to the washroom …"

Chen Yu casually said.

Yang Hong did not pursue the topic further and laughed: "The banquet is about to begin. There are a lot of big figures present today, so let's keep a low profile. "

Chen Yu was startled, then laughed involuntarily: "Uncle Hong, do I look like I'm trying to cause trouble? "Besides, on this occasion, I have the heart and skill to cause trouble."

"That's right …" "Look at me. It's mainly because you've been causing trouble recently. Isn't my reflex …"

Yang Hong laughed.

This time, Chen Yu was extremely embarrassed. Indeed, during this period of time, he had caused quite a lot of trouble, and there were many times when Yang Hong had to appear to settle the problem.

"Sigh, it's begun …"

Yang Hong finished.

The lights in the hall flickered wildly, and then all the beams of light gathered together and fell on the large platform.

"Pa Pa Pa …"

A round of warm applause rang out.

He saw a white-haired old man in high spirits standing on the stage, lightly pressing towards the sky.

"Hehe, thank you everyone for attending this poor old geezer's charity dinner tonight …"

"Rumor has it that I've been suffering from an illness recently, so I'm hosting a charity party to celebrate. Actually, these were all rumors. My body has always been strong. How can I be afflicted with disease? The reason for this was that the people here were old and sentimental. Throughout my life, I've collected countless valuable antiques. Now, I want to find a new owner for them, and all the money from the auction goes to poor children in the mountains! "Thank you everyone!"

As he finished speaking, the old man bowed slightly and once again caused a round of applause. And this time, the applause was louder than last time.

Seeing this, Chen Yu secretly admired this old man.

His life's work was put to auction, but the profits were used to donate. This kind of magnanimity wasn't something that everyone had.

At this time, Yang Hong clapped and praised, "I have never submitted to many people in my entire life, but the old man in front of me is one of them."

After pausing for a moment, Yang Hong continued, "This old man is Guo Tianxiong, he was an outstanding appraiser in his early years, and had gathered countless treasures for the country. "Being famous and now helping poor children in mountain regions is truly admirable."

Chen Yu knew this was meant for him.

"Uncle Hong, how do you know him?"

Chen Yu asked curiously.

"Once, when he met a robber in the city, I went to great lengths to catch him and to recover his property. At that time, I was a junior cop. Later, we left each other's phone number and would eat and chat together when we had time. "He's already an old friend …"

Yang Hong recalled.

"Uncle Hong's luck is really not bad …"

Chen Yu faintly smiled. Sometimes encountering a noble was also a form of luck.

"Still ok... At that time, he didn't think too much about it. Only later on did he find out the true identity of Elder Guo. "Finally, when we become familiar with each other, we will be relieved …"

Yang Hong said, and suddenly stopped.

It turned out that the Elder Guo had spoken again, "Everyone, don't waste your breath, please find a place to sit inside … "Eating while holding an auction!"

There was another round of enthusiastic applause, and then the old man got off the stage.

The lights in the hall returned to normal, and everyone headed towards the stage entrance in an orderly fashion.

"Let's go as well …"

Yang Hong said as he walked to the front.

Chen Yu followed closely behind.

After walking through the door, he realized that there was a huge dining hall inside.

There were all sorts of delicious foods placed on the table, making people's appetite increase greatly.

At first, he thought that everyone was trying to expand their network so he didn't have time to eat.

From the looks of it, everyone was already used to such situations and knew when to eat and when to talk!

"I'm still too inexperienced …"

Chen Yu laughed bitterly, he wanted to sit beside Yang Hong, but he saw that Yang Hong's table was filled with people, probably with Yang Hong's help. He looked at Yang Hong, who gave him a look. In this kind of situation, he would not do anything disrespectful.

Chen Yu understood. He looked around and then walked to the side of an old man and asked, "Is there anyone at this position?"

The old man raised his head, revealing a small, common face. "It's empty. Young man, please sit …"

The moment he saw the old man, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, as if he had returned to a certain time and encountered something.

"He was actually lost in thought for a while …" "Young man?"

Being stared straight at by Chen Yu, the old man said somewhat unhappily, "If you dislike this rotten old man, you can go somewhere else …"

"No, excuse me …"

Chen Yu woke up from his daze and apologized, "I remembered something from the past …" "Sorry …"

The old man's expression eased up and he calmly said, "It's alright, if you want to sit, then sit …" "There is no limit to the location here …"

Chen Yu immediately sat down and looked deeply at the old man. He then asked, "Excuse me, is your surname Zhou?"

"Hmm?"

The old man looked at Chen Yu in surprise: "You know me?"

It seemed that as far as the old man was concerned, it was impossible for Chen Yu to know him.

"It really is you …"

Chen Yu was excited, "Do you still remember? Three years ago, Grand Xia's department store. "You saved a young man …"

"Three years ago … "Young man …"

The old man frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he laughed. "I remember, it's you …"

"That's right!" "It's me …"

Seeing the old man recognize him, Chen Yu was extremely moved.

"I didn't expect to meet you here …" You are the same as three years ago, as tough as ever! "It looks like a hundred years won't be a problem …"

Chen Yu flattered him.

"Haha!" This young man really knows how to talk... However, compared to three years ago, you have changed a lot. His appearance and temperament had changed … "If not for your reminder, I would not have recognized you …"

The old man was very happy as well. He had a very good impression of the young man in front of him.

"Elder Zhou definitely has a deep impression of me. He clearly lacks strength, yet he wants to act bravely. "I was almost stabbed to death by a bandit. If it weren't for you saving me in time, I'm afraid I would have died long ago …"

Speaking of the past, Chen Yu slightly recalled his memories. It was also a little funny, but more of it was melancholy.

"Young man, don't belittle yourself! One could not have strength, but one could not lose their kind heart. Of course, before doing so next time, he had to think about the consequences. "After all, I am not a deity, so it is impossible for me to save you every time …"

Elder Zhou laughed heartily.

"Elder Zhou, my name is Chen Yu …" "If you don't mind, you can call me Little Yu …"

Chen Yu happily replied, "All these years, I've always wanted to repay you, but in this vast sea of people, there's simply no one to be found. "I must not miss this opportunity …"

Elder Zhou hesitated for a moment and then chuckled: "Little Yu, you're being considerate. At that time, it was just a small matter, so you don't need to worry about it. If you don't mind, accompany me for a drink later. "

"Elder Zhou is too courteous. This is a must …"

Chen Yu agreed with a smile.
