As time passed, more and more celebrities entered the scene.

Zhao Xiaohua and his team's director, as well as their lead actors, entered the exhibition center around eight-thirty. From this, one could tell how important they were.

After these people entered the exhibition center, they were not in a hurry to find their seats. Instead, they looked for Xu Taiping and Zhao Xiaohua. When they saw them sitting in the back, they walked over together.

"Why are you sitting here?" The director asked in surprise.

"This is how the seating arrangement is, let's sit here!" Xu Taiping said.

"How can that be? How can you all sit here? I'll go and have a reaction with the organizing committee!" The director said.

"No need!" Xu Taiping shook his head and said, "This time I came to offer my love. Isn't it the same everywhere? There's no need to sit in front. "

"You're right!" The director nodded.

"You guys go to your seats, we'll meet here after the things are settled!" Xu Taiping said.

"Alright then, Boss Xu, Little Hua, you two sit here. Let's go to the front!" As the director spoke, he led the people around him forward.

After another ten minutes or so, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded out from the entrance of the exhibition center.

Xu Taiping looked towards the door and saw someone he knew walk in.

This familiar person was none other than Li Jiangshan.

Both of them dressed very leisurely. When they walked in from the door, all the celebrities along the way greeted Li Jiangshan, and even many celebrities who had already taken their seats stood up and walked up to Li Jiangshan to greet him.

Li Jiangshan had a faint smile on his face, basically just nodding to greet the surrounding celebrities.

Along the way, Li Jiangshan had walked all the way to the front.

Because he was surrounded by people, Li Jiangshan actually did not see Xu Taiping.

"Li Jiangshan actually came!" Zhao Xiaohua said in surprise.

"Rich people are good wherever they go." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Li Jiangshan has invested a lot of entertainment companies in Hong Kong. He has a very prestigious position." Zhao Xiaohua explained.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping smiled, but didn't say anything.

As more and more people entered the exhibition center, Xu Taiping saw the celebrities he had seen before, as well as the person called Old Zhu.

Old Zhu was seated right next to him, while on the other side of Li Jiangshan and his companion was the vice president of the Society of Filmmakers, Lin Zhirong, whom Xu Taiping had met once before.

These three people could be said to be the most distinguished people at this charity party. Beside them were Ye Luofu and Han Qiuya, whom Xu Taiping had just met.

As wave after wave of celebrities entered the venue, this fashion Saba party officially began.

Since it was tied to fashion, there would naturally be something fashionable. The organizers had arranged for an autumn dress to be presented.

It was September and autumn was coming, so it was reasonable to hold an autumn ceremony.

However, Xu Taiping truly didn't have any appreciation for this so-called fashion show. He had always disliked the clothes displayed on the stage, and only the models were able to get him to focus his attention on the stage.

Zhao Xiaohua, who was sitting next to Xu Taiping, looked on with interest. Xu Taiping could not help but ask, "Do you dare to wear these clothes on the street?"

"Why would I not dare? These are all fashion." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Fashion is like hanging an aunt's scarf over your clothes?" Xu Taiping pointed to a model on the stage.

"What's an aunt towel?" It's an ornament, you don't understand. " Zhao Xiaohua shook his head.

"Fine." Xu Taiping shrugged, indicating that he really didn't understand.

Soon, the fashion show was over. After the fashion show, the main event of the party, the charity photo shoot, was about to begin.

The charity auction was different from the ordinary auctions. In the ordinary auctions, everyone hoped to buy the most valuable things at the lowest price, but the charity auction was for everyone to raise the price as much as possible so that the items could be sold for more money.

"I heard that this time, there are a lot of items that were auctioned. Quite a few masters donated their works!" There are still a lot of people in the world who love you. " Zhao Xiaohua said.

"This kind of thing, we can split it into two." Xu Taiping said, "It's not that the masters love to donate their works. I've heard people saying that this kind of charity auction is a feast for all kinds of masters."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"That's because everyone is raising the price. A ceramic Buddha statue like you could only be sold for 500,000, you might just get one million here. And this million is equivalent to raising the price of this master, do you understand?" Xu Taiping said.

"So there's actually such an operation!" Zhao Xiaohua was suddenly enlightened.

"However, we still have to look at this auction with pure eyes. After all, this is a good thing! Therefore, regardless of whether the item is expensive or not, as long as you take it out, it will be good. " Xu Taiping laughed.

"For example, your happiness?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.

On stage, with the host's speech, this charity festivities officially began.

The first item to be auctioned was a blue and white porcelain, which could be considered to be rather precious.

Normally speaking, the first item of the auction wouldn't be of a low value. This way, it would have a warm up effect.

The auction for this blue and white porcelain soon ended. It sold for eight hundred thousand yuan, which was a pretty good price.

The second item was quickly brought up.

In the auction house, the second item was basically the most worthless item. Since everyone's emotions had been stirred up by the first item, the second item had to be used to suppress everyone's emotions. This way, when the later items were auctioned off, everyone's emotions would reach a very high level.

"This is a piece of writing." The host held the microphone and said, "It was written personally by a guest at the scene. The name of this guest is, sorry, but due to our work error, we did not register this guest's name. May I ask this guest to raise his hand?"

Xu Taiping smiled and raised his hand.

"So it's our Mr Xu!" The host said with a smile, "This is Mr Xu's personal writing. Although the meaning is very simple, it is one of the words that the people of Hong Kong City are most interested in. Mr Xu may not be a calligrapher, but we can see that this piece of writing is very accomplished and also very well framed.

As the host's voice faded, the entire venue suddenly went silent.

Some people were looking at Xu Taiping, while others were looking at the words on the stage.

Although the host had introduced quite a few people, the main point was still the same.

This calligraphy and painting was worthless.

Praising even a single painting could only praise his decorations being pretty good. Didn't this mean that this painting wasn't worth much? Otherwise, since there were so many good words written in fine calligraphy, how could he possibly say that the calligraphy was mounted on this piece of paper?

Many people had a teasing expression on their faces. Such a large-scale charity auction actually had words written by someone who was not a calligrapher. Wasn't this guy being too confident?

Many people were waiting to see Xu Taiping make a fool of himself. Obviously, this calligraphy piece would set the record for the lowest price for a charity auction of so many years.

"A hundred!"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the direction of the voice and looked over. They saw that the woman who shouted out this price was An Ru, who liked to gobble down the newcomers.

A few roars of laughter sounded out at the scene.

"One hundred yuan for a Geely is also pretty good!" An Ru said with a smile.

The laughter became louder.

"You must be embarrassed..." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"This... "Why isn't the Cowherd here yet?!" Xu Taiping said angrily.

Previously, the Cowherd had said that he would come, and that he would go undercover, but the party had already started so long ago.

If this was sold for a hundred credits, it would definitely be a humiliation to him, Xu Taiping!

Xu Taiping was already considering whether he should send a message to the director and have the director bid a higher price. Then, he would send the money to the director later.

At this moment, the director tactfully raised his hand.

"One hundred thousand." the director shouted.

"One hundred thousand, our guest bids one hundred thousand! This one word is worth one hundred thousand gold coins, it's worth a thousand gold coins, it makes everyone applaud the director's kindness! " the host shouted.

The crowd burst into applause.

"At least something will happen!" Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought that this word would be sold for one hundred thousand yuan, the male lead actor beside the director suddenly raised his hand and said, "Two hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand?!" "Alright, our guests have already raised the price to 200,000. This is a very high price, I heard that the person who wrote this was the investor in our guest's new show. It seems that being an investor is still beneficial!" The host laughed!

The host's words made many of the people present feel astonished at the 200,000 bid. So the person who wrote it was an investor. If he played the role of an investor, then he was definitely trying to curry favor with the investor.

"Two hundred thousand, is there anyone willing to increase the bid?" the host shouted.

The scene was silent.

"Since there is no one willing to raise the bid, I will announce …"

"Wait a minute!" A deep voice suddenly sounded from the front row. Following which, a ruddy old man stood up from his seat.

This old man was sitting in the first row. Although his seat was at the side, his identity was definitely not simple for him to sit in the first row.

"Oh? Old mister Huang, do you want to increase the price?! " The host asked in surprise.

"I want to go up and take a look at this calligraphy piece!" The man called Mr. Huang said in a deep voice.

"Read the words?" The host asked in surprise, "Are you here to see this word?!"

"En!" Old mister Huang nodded his head, then walked up the stage to the front of the calligraphy piece written by Xu Taiping and read it carefully.

The entire scene was silent as everyone looked at Mr. Huang in surprise.

One had to know that this old mister Huang was a master of calligraphy, he couldn't be bothered to read the things that most people wrote, and with this look of admiration, Mr. Huang personally came up to read it. Could it be that this calligraphy piece had some sort of mystery?
