500 million!

That was five hundred million gold and silver taels!

There was no lack of rich people here, but there was definitely no one who could casually give out 500 million!

If one were to look at the value of a billion, 500 million was equivalent to half of the total assets. As for the people present, their assets were basically in the range of one to several billion, so these 500 million dividends were truly a bit terrifying, and Xu Taiping had specifically said that he was the one to pay all the dividends, which was even more shocking. As the investor, Xu Taiping could only get around 30% of the total proceeds from this movie.

The audience burst into thunderous applause, and the director on stage was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Although he had a lot of money, that was five hundred million, and even though it was given to the creative team in the movie, the most important part was still split between four or five people. In other words, every person could get at least several tens of millions.

"Thank you, Boss Xu. Being able to produce such a movie for Boss Xu is my honor, and I also hope that I'll be able to work together with him again when the time comes. Although this is the first time Boss Xu has invested in a movie, I have to admit that it's the best investor I've ever seen, thank you, Boss Xu!" The director said excitedly.

"You're too polite. There will be a second and a third collaboration between us!" Xu Taiping smiled as he patted the director's shoulder, then walked off the stage.

The audience once again burst into thunderous applause.

Xu Taiping felt very satisfied. He felt that he should throw more money outside in the future. Money was of no use to him, but after it was spread out, he would be able to get praise, applause, and even some fame. That would be too worthwhile.

After the benefits were distributed, it was the stage of charity filming.

Because it was a charity photo shoot, the atmosphere at the scene was very relaxed. Some people took out their own works, some people took out their own handicrafts, and even some actors took out their own plays. As long as someone took away the photos, they could let him participate in a movie.

This was because this time, the charity auction was organized by Xu Taiping, and all the charity money was going to go to a charity fund under Xu Taiping's name. Everyone was competing to buy the items, and that was all for the sake of Xu Taiping.

This time, Xu Taiping had produced a work of his own. His work was writing, and Xu Taiping didn't know how to paint, so he could write himself. Therefore, he wrote a single character.

This was the same as the previous celebration of a fortune. It was all very simple and honest content.

When the host took Xu Taiping's framed calligraphy onto the stage, there was a round of applause, which probably meant that Xu Taiping's calligraphy piece had shocked the audience.

Xu Taiping actually had a clear understanding of himself. Most of the applause was for his identity, but that wasn't a big deal. Didn't art rely on one's identity as an author to raise the price?

As soon as Xu Taiping's name appeared, everyone started to bid. Not long after, these four words were sold for a high price of 5 million. The bidder was one of the bosses of the movie industry.

5 million was a very high price. After this price was called out, almost no one else called out a bid.

Just as the host was about to land his hammer, a voice lightly sounded.

"10 million!"

Everyone looked at the owner of the voice.

The owner of this voice was Dong Jianpeng.

Dong Jianpeng wore a faint smile on his face. He stood up and cupped his fist towards the people around him, saying, "I'll take Boss Xu's handwriting."

At this moment, Dong Jianpeng appeared extremely domineering. He was unparalleled in this world.

Jin Xiyan's eyes flickered with a golden light, as if she was looking at a big cat.

Dong Jianpeng glanced at Jin Xiyan from the corner of his eyes. After seeing her expression, he was very satisfied.

In the end, Dong Jianpeng spent 10 million to buy Xu Taiping's calligraphy.

The whole charity auction ended with a total of 50 million RMB being taken out. This money would directly enter into Xu Taiping's charity fund, and at the same time, Xu Taiping would put the same amount of money into this charity fund to help more people who needed help.

As the events progressed one by one, the atmosphere at the scene continued to rise as everyone began to drink.

Xu Taiping's place had become a disaster zone. Table after table of people came to toast him. Xu Taiping was also very generous. Anyone who drank with him would basically drink one cup after another.

"Director Xu sure has a great tolerance for alcohol!" The leader beside Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"It's alright. After all, I'm a practitioner. Wine is something that can be digested very quickly." Xu Taiping said.

"That's true. Right, CEO Xu, I heard that you've been chosen one of the top ten economic figures of the year for Central TV in the next few days?" the leader asked.

"Seems to be true." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Congratulations, this is not something that an ordinary person can be selected for. Now that you've invested into movies, you can be considered a person in the movie industry. To us, you being able to be selected as one of the top ten economic figures is a matter of honor!" The leader said.

"It's all thanks to the leadership training!" As Xu Taiping spoke, he picked up his wine glass and said, "Leader, since there's so many people here today, let's not drink too much. I'll make an appointment with some friends one day and we'll find a quiet place to drink!"

"Alright, when the time comes, I'll also invite a few friends who came to play with me." The leader said with a smile.

Xu Taiping smiled, clinked glasses with the Leader, and drained the contents in one gulp.

He knew how to curry favor with a leader, how to be on good terms with his peers, how to manage his subordinates, and everything else. If someone had said that Xu Taiping had been a top assassin who had struggled to assimilate into society more than a year ago, perhaps no one would have believed him.

It was said that society was a great place to be. People like Xu Taiping who had been in society for a year had been completely transformed.

In the blink of an eye, the dinner came to an end.

Many people drank a lot and left the scene one after another.

Xu Taiping swept the entire banquet scene with his eyes, taking in everything in his sight. After that, he smiled and walked over to the reporters' stand.

"Thank you everyone!" Xu Taiping bowed deeply to all the reporters. His attitude was very sincere.

"Boss Xu is too courteous."

"Boss Xu, congratulations!"

The reporters shouted one after another.

"It's all because of everyone's praise. Without everyone's praise, this movie of mine wouldn't have this kind of result. So, don't think that I'm just being polite. I'm truly sincerely thanking everyone!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

The reporters present were all intelligent people. However, hearing Xu Taiping's sincere words, everyone was still touched. Especially since Xu Taiping had given him a gold bar and a cellphone, they were even more touched.

Just as everyone was moved, a sharp scream came from the washroom not far away.

Xu Taiping paused for a moment, then quickly walked towards the toilet. The media reporters followed behind him in curiosity.

Xu Taiping was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the toilet door, and the reporters were also very fast. When Xu Taiping arrived at the toilet door, the reporters had already arrived.

Just as Xu Taiping arrived at the door of the toilet, Jin Xiyan ran out of the ladies' room, her clothes all messed up.

"Help, help!" Jin Xi Yan shouted excitedly.

All the reporters were stunned, not knowing which scene was being played out.

"What's going on?!" Xu Taiping asked loudly.

"Yes, someone is harassing me. I beg you, please save me!" Jin Xi Yan excitedly grabbed Xu Taiping's hand and said.

When everyone heard Jin Xiyan's words, they finally understood. There was someone playing a hooligan!

All the reporters were in high spirits. Tonight's banquet was of a rather high standard. Those who came were either rich or high-class celebrities. No matter what, these people in the toilet could not be ordinary people.

For a powerful figure to harass a woman at such an occasion, this was gargantuan news!

All the cameras were aimed at the entrance of the washroom.

If it wasn't for the words' female restroom 'written on the toilet, these men probably would have all rushed in.

"Who was it that had the guts to harass you in the female restroom?" Xu Taiping asked loudly.

"I, I don't know either. When I went to the toilet, he suddenly walked in and pulled me into a cubicle to take off my clothes. I was so scared!" As Jin Xiyan spoke, tears rolled down her face.

"Miss Jin Xi Yan, what's going on?!" Pu Zi asked in concern as he ran over from the side.

After hearing those simple and brilliant words, everyone thought of Jin Xiyan's accent and immediately understood that this Jin Xiyan, was probably a kimono citizen.

If Jin Xiyan was really a kimchi citizen, it would be even more exciting, this was transnational sexual harassment!

"Mr. Park, someone is harassing me!" Jin Xi Yan said excitedly.

Who is it? "Mister Xu, what's going on?!" Pu Can asked excitedly.

"I don't know either. Security, come over here for a bit!" Xu Taiping shouted.

Immediately, a few security guards ran over. At the same time, Dong Jianpeng's secretary also rushed over from the side.

As soon as the secretary came over, he immediately grabbed Xu Taiping's hand and said in a low voice …
