The charity gala consists of four parts.
The first thing was to introduce the history and purpose of the whole party. Because the party has a long history, this alone took up nearly half an hour. After thanking everyone for coming, the next step was to thank those who had donated money in advance.
The first place in all previous years was Sheng Guiye. Although he would not be present in person, he was very generous in charity and increased his donation every year as the company's turnover increased.
Only this time, the one who tied with him for first place was Fei.
[Fuck, even though I know that Mr. Sheng usually gives more than before, this amount still shocked me]
[Yes, in addition to the party, I heard that Sheng's Group has several charity projects under its own umbrella. I don't know how much it spends on charity every year.]
[After all, it is already a world-famous large enterprise]
[And the princess, her name is Fei, I can only say that this is one of the richest royal families in the world. How many zeros are there?]
[It’s not bad, I can earn that much by working for billions of years without eating or drinking]
[It seems that the people who donated money are still the same few people. In addition to Sheng Guiye, there is also Fu Chun from the financial company, and the movie stars are Song Ying and Luo Jingjing...]
[After all, according to the practice of previous years, there is also a donation process. The donated items will then be sold at auctions under public welfare organizations, and the money obtained will be directly donated to the lives of people in poor mountainous areas.]
[However, there are also a few new names. In addition to Fei, there is also Qiao Yuan this year...]
[Tsk tsk tsk, Qiao Yuan only donated tens of millions this time]
【? Try donating one】
[Only? How much do you earn? How many times have you donated before? Do you have proof?]
[Anyway, after seeing her donation, my impression of her has improved a lot. I apologize for having criticized her before.]
[Ah, I actually think Qiao Yuan is not bad when it comes to charity. Didn’t a rich second-generation man make a bet with her before? I remember the bet was several million or tens of millions for her, and she asked the other party to donate it to a charity organization]
[I am an insider. According to Qiao Yuan's status at the time, and the commission from the company and the team, tens of millions was a lot for her.]
[Now that you mention it, I remember it now. It was a hot topic at the time. At that time, I was still thinking that if tens of millions were given to me, I would at most donate a part of it.]
[Yes, she donated tens of millions of dollars without hesitation. Some celebrities who are more famous than her have not donated that much combined.]
[Yes, I have become a fan from a passerby]
Although Sister Jiang said that it was not necessary to donate in advance, after all, the list would only be displayed for a few minutes, and more exposure would be given to the top few donors, and it was entirely possible to wait until the later donation stage, but Qiao Yuan still chose to donate.
Sister Jiang was not too surprised by this. After all, she had learned that Qiao Yuan had been donating anonymously before entering the entertainment industry. After entering the entertainment industry, she also asked her if there were more reliable charity projects.
After the donation display session, the most important and climax of the evening party is the donation of goods session.
The items donated by everyone were varied, but all of them were of high value. Some of the items caused people in the live broadcast room and those present to talk about them.
As frequent guests at the gala, Song Ying and Luo Jingjing donated money and goods at every charity gala. In addition to the money, the items they donated often became trending topics because of their dedication. When the host began to read the two's names, there were already many comments in the live broadcast room guessing what the two donated this time.
After the real announcement, the comments were very lively for a while——
[Song Ying and Luo Jingjing donated separately. Song Ying donated his first music album when he was young, and Luo Jingjing donated an important prop in the first movie he starred in.]
[I feel like they put a lot of thought into every donation, and I’m really worried about what they’ll donate next time]
[Maybe Song Yanchi]
[Forget it, everyone knows that Song Yanchi only listens to Qiao Yuan, so it’s useless to donate]
【Laughing】
…
After Song Ying and Luo Jingjing, the host introduced the items donated by other people.
What Qiao is willing to donate are photos and autographs of herself and other members of the production crew when she first participated in a variety show. These are items that carry her memories.
It was also because of this variety show that she became an instant hit and officially entered the entertainment industry.
Like her, there are netizens who are full of memories of this incident:
[My ancient memory has been awakened]
[I still remember the bloody storm at that time, which dominated the hot searches for a whole year. I got to know Qiao Yuan because of this variety show, and there are still verbal battles in the comment section of this variety show.]
[I am still reading it now, it is always new and can treat low blood pressure]
[Although only one year has passed, I feel like time has passed]
[omg, Qiao Yuan was so beautiful at that time, she could be found in the crowd at a glance]
[Of course, if it wasn’t for this face, I’m afraid the audience would have scolded me even more harshly]
[Yes, there was a popular saying at that time: you can insult her as a person, but you can’t insult her face.]
[The funniest thing is that some people thought Qiao Yuan's appearance was the result of plastic surgery. If any plastic surgery hospital could produce such an effect, it would have promoted it crazily.]
[After all, at that time everyone said that they exchanged their IQ for a good face]
[So Qiao Yuan has really never been in a relationship? She seems like someone who would be the campus belle in my school.]
[People who went to the same school as her came forward and said no]
[Sheng Guiye’s eyes seemed to be glued to the photo]
Will he regret not being able to buy this product?
[It is very likely, after all, this is also a discontinued peripheral product]
When the host began to introduce the items donated by Sheng Guiye, there was another uproar -
[Sheng Guiye donated an out-of-print item from his popular game. There was only one. I remember when the promotional materials were first released, a rich man wanted to spend tens of millions to buy it. The game department didn’t sell it at the time, and everyone was speculating that it would be auctioned off. I didn’t expect it to be donated like this.]
[Fuck, is this the world of the rich? A game prop costs 10 million.]
[After all, it is a door-burning game, and the props are unique. Although I don’t have money, I can’t resist the temptation.]
[Dad, how could you forget me here? Remember to pick me up after the charity party]
[No, you are willing to treat such a handsome man as your child instead of calling him husband? ]
[I wanted to call you before, but...]
But what?
[Is that the village network upstairs? Mr. Sheng only likes Qiao Yuan now, and he even bought a lot of Qiao Yuan's peripherals at a high price. And look at where they are sitting, I don't believe it's a coincidence. When Mr. Sheng was walking on the red carpet just now, his eyes were almost glued to Qiao Yuan. It's no use calling her husband.]
[But U1S1, Qiao Yuan’s gift group today was really beautiful. When the camera cut to her appearance during the live broadcast, I was really suffocated by her beauty. I hope she can weld this red Bubu Shenglian skirt to me.]
[Perhaps Mr. Sheng also thinks so. The camera cuts back several times just now, and each time it seems that his eyes are not looking forward.]
[Isn’t Sheng Guiye a fan of Qiao Yuan?]
[Boyfriend fans are also fans]
[Dad, I'm different from them. They want you and your money, but I only want your out-of-print game props.]
[Sheng Guiye can't hear what you are saying, he only has eyes for Qiao Yuan]
[So this is the final donation? ]
Many people in the live broadcast room were not watching this charity gala for the first time, so they were already familiar with the routine.
For charity galas, it is generally accepted that the most valuable item will be displayed as the last exhibit.
[It seems not, the host didn’t say it]
[I didn’t hear the host say this either]
[? If this isn't the case, what else can be the finale product? ]
[It seems that someone else’s donations have not been displayed... I remember it was that princess]
[Almost forgot]
[The items donated by Sheng Guiye are already worth nearly 100 million, right? Does that mean the items donated by the princess are worth more than that? ]
【this……】
The curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room has been completely aroused. Fortunately, the host did not keep the suspense for too long. After introducing the items donated by Sheng Guiye, the host immediately said: "The finale item of this evening party is donated by the princess of Beilan Country."
"Next, please ask the staff to help present the donated items to everyone..."
As the host finished speaking, a staff member in a suit and white gloves carefully brought up a box, but it was covered with a thick black cloth, blocking the inquiring eyes of others.
In order to liven up the scene, the host walked forward and lifted a small corner to look inside. The tall body of the other person happened to block the view of the audience and the camera, so at this moment only the host could see what was inside.
Although he already knew what it was from the letter in his hand, he still subconsciously let out a cry of surprise that was almost voiceless when he saw it.
This aroused even more curiosity among the people in the audience and the live broadcast room.
After all, this host has been in the hosting industry for more than 20 years, and he can be seen in large and small occasions. And most importantly, he has hosted many charity galas, so he can be said to be experienced.
The previous donations were not of low value, but he did not show any surprise and just introduced them as usual.
This was the first time anyone heard him exclaim in surprise.
Not to mention that after the exclamation, the host stood there as if he was stunned, and he was stunned for several minutes. It was not until the staff next to him noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded him that he seemed to come to his senses, put down the black cloth in his hand, and then turned back to the camera and the people sitting in the audience: "Sorry, I was stunned just now."
Even though he tried hard to hide it, his voice still revealed his excitement, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the box covered with black cloth.
After the host counted down to three, two, and one, he reached out and lifted the black cloth.
Everyone then understood why the host was so surprised.
The moment they saw clearly what was in the box, everyone subconsciously held their breath and concentrated——
It was a goose egg-sized gem, lying quietly in a transparent box.
The gemstone was carved into the shape of a snowflake, and it was crystal clear. Under the reflection of the crystal chandelier above, it would change color. In just a few seconds, its color changed from transparent to iridescent blue, and then turned back to iridescent blue.
[No wonder the host was so shocked just now. I would probably have to watch it for four or five hours.]
[Am I being too aggressive? How come the gems can change colors?]
[Oh my god, it looks so good even through the lens. I can’t imagine how shocking it would be to see it in person]
【My eyes have been opened】
[From the momentary silence in the meeting room, it seems that the leaders are as shocked as I am, so I feel relieved.]
[Tell me a price and I'll give up]
[Since he was able to defeat the rare game props donated by Mr. Sheng, it must be worth hundreds of millions.]
[Very good, I wish to have it in my next life]
[I didn’t like gems before because I thought they were too dazzling. Now I realize I was quite pretentious.]
[The gold bracelet on my hand suddenly lost its fragrance]
…
Among the series of comments, another comment soon caught the attention of others:
[I can actually see snowflake gemstones in my lifetime]
[? What does it mean? Please elaborate on it above.]
[Snowflake gemstone, as the name suggests, looks like snowflakes that will not melt before being carved, so it is called snowflake gemstone]
[Snowflakes that don’t melt are indeed romantic, but also more expensive than normal snowflakes]
[I thought someone carved it into the shape of a snowflake, but it turned out to be natural. Nature is truly amazing.]
[I was shocked too]
In addition to being impressed by the fact that snowflake gemstones grow naturally like this, some people are more concerned about the value of snowflakes.
So how much is it worth?
【No value】
【？ ？ ？】
[No value, is that what I mean?]
[Because it is rare. I just searched and found that the production of snowflake gemstones is extremely low. There is only one mine in the country of Belan in the world that can produce snowflake gemstones, and at most two or three can be produced each year. It is considered a special supply for the royal family, so it is not circulated on the market.]
[Only one sentence: poverty limits my imagination]
[I've learned a lot. The princess actually donated all her snowflake gems. She's really generous.]
[How could the charity gala invite this princess?]
Because the specialties of the country of Beilan are oil, flowers, and some gems, Qiao Yuan guessed that it was flowers and gems. After the host lifted the black cloth covering the box, Qiao Yuan quickly recognized that it was snowflake gems.
Qiao Yuan naturally knew the rarity of the snowflake gemstone, and subconsciously looked at Fei: "I didn't expect you to donate this."
Fei: “Because…”
She had just started talking when the microphone was carefully handed to her.
Because he was so shocked, the host couldn't wait to walk down to the stage, walked through the crowd to Fei's side, wanting to interview her, and the camera was also turned to Fei.
The big screen on the field even switched to Fei's shot.
When facing the camera and the microphone, Fei lost her shyness and became dignified and calm. The host didn't know Fei knew Chinese at first, so he stammered in the Belan language specially marked in the news release: "Are you donating this item because you value the party?"
Fei answered in Chinese: "It's to thank the party for letting me see Qiao Yuan."
After she finished speaking, not only were the others stunned, Qiao Yuan also showed a look of surprise.
Fei didn't lie.
She was indeed very grateful for the invitation to the party, which allowed her to meet Qiao Yuan again and sit next to him. Therefore, as a thank you, Fei finally chose to donate the snowflake gem.
Only two snowflake gems were mined from the mine this year, both of which were supplied to the royal family.
The two snowflake gems took a private helicopter with her and flew from the Kingdom of Belan to the venue.
One snowflake gem was handed over to the program team, and the other one is still in the helicopter. She wants to give it to Qiao Yuan after the show.
But even without the second half of the sentence, Fei's words were enough to shock everyone.
The host was also stunned for a while before he finally found his voice: "Why? What is your relationship..."
Hearing the host's words, Fei turned to look at Qiao Yuan. His originally serious expression now showed a bit of tenderness: "Because my belief is Qiao Yuan."
Her voice came through the microphone and quickly spread throughout the hall.
[The princess speaks fluent Chinese. I feel like she speaks it better than me.]
[But maybe there is a problem with the word choice? I feel like the word faith is too big.]
[Yeah, did you mean friends?]
[This was my first reaction, but seeing how fluent the other person was, it didn’t seem like it]
[I felt that the princess had a very gentle temperament when she was with Qiao Yuan just now, but why did she feel different during the interview?]
[After all, he is the heir to the royal family, so it is normal for him to be a little dignified]
[Is this the point? Isn't it that she donated this item to thank the party for letting her meet Qiao Yuan?]
[So I have to thank Qiao Yuan for giving me the opportunity to see such a beautiful gem]
【I also】
[I met Qiao Yuan before when she was recording a variety show. Does that mean I saved money on the snowflake gems?]
[So what is the relationship between the two? Give the marketing account three seconds. I want to know the whole story.]
[Marketing accounts are also posting questions, and now it has become a hot topic]
[I am really convinced. I was deceived by this kind of marketing article. I don’t know what the editor said. I wasted three precious minutes of my life.]
[I think I know how the two of them met]
【? Please elaborate on the above】
[I know that too, but I can’t tell you. Anyway, the two of them did know each other before, but I didn’t expect that the princess was really attached to Qiao Yuan.]
[I give up, Riddler, right?]
[My friend was the staff member who escorted the gems at that time. She got her phone back now and told me that she only knew that there were gems inside. When it was transported down from the helicopter, she saw a box covered with black cloth next to it. She was afraid of taking the wrong one, and she knew Belaan, so she asked which bodyguard was in charge of the handover. The bodyguard said they were the same, except that the other one was a gift.]
[Ah? Does that mean there is another snowflake gem on the helicopter?]
[It seems so, and it is to be given to others]
[The others, could it be Qiao Yuan?]
[This... is very likely]
[Look at other people’s best friends. I beat up my best friend, but she still refused to give me the gem.]
[Maybe because your bestie doesn’t regard you as a belief]
[Wait, that person just said that the princess always sticks to Qiao Yuan? So it is the princess who always takes the initiative? ]
[Isn’t it obvious just now?]
The comments in the live broadcast room were about to be flooded with comments, and everyone present was almost immersed in shock.
It was the host who reacted first and said "I see", and then changed the topic. Seeing that it was almost time to leave, the party was coming to an end. The last part was to thank all the people who donated goods. The charity sale channel had been opened. If the audience in the live broadcast room wanted to buy something, they could directly obtain it through the charity sale channel through auction.
As the host finished speaking, the live broadcast was finally officially declared over.
However, as the live broadcast room was closed, everyone stood up one after another, but they did not rush to leave. Instead, they subconsciously looked at Fei and Qiao Yuan who were the center of attention just now. Some people wanted to come forward to talk to them, but before they got close, they saw Fei had already pulled Qiao Yuan up, and Sheng Guiye followed closely behind.
Just now as the party ended, Qiao Yuan heard Fei's voice in his ears.
The other person approached her and asked Qiao Yuan in a low voice that only the two of them could hear if she could go out with her, saying that she had something to say to Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan had also recovered from the shock just now, so she nodded quickly. She guessed that it was because Fei wanted to say something that he had not finished saying in the previous copy, and because he was disturbed by L's sudden identity, Qiao Yuan forgot about it after leaving the copy.
Now when she heard Fei say that he had something to tell her, she immediately thought of this and stood up with Fei.
But the next person to stand up was Sheng Guiye.
Sheng Guiye also came back to his senses from his shock.
However, what shocked him was not the appearance of the snowflake gem. After all, when the former king of Beilan, Fei's father, was still alive, Sheng Guiye had been to Beilan and met other members of the royal family.
At that time, the former king of Belan took him to see the gems in order to show his hospitality.
To Sheng Guiye, even the rarest gemstones were just aggregates of carbon or silicate minerals, so he was not interested in them. What he did not expect was Fei's attitude towards Qiao Yuan. Although he had seen that Fei was very attached to Qiao Yuan and was doing this specifically for Qiao Yuan, when he heard that the other party regarded Qiao Yuan as a belief, he still felt a sense of shock and crisis.
At this moment, Sheng Guiye finally understood why Song Yanchi was so startled when facing Yu Guo before, as if his tail was stepped on.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fei holding Qiao Yuan's hand and about to leave, and Sheng Guiye followed subconsciously.
But he eventually stopped in front of the helicopter outside.
It was not the bodyguard who stopped him, but Fei looked at Qiao Yuan, and then Qiao Yuan turned to look at Sheng Guiye, indicating that he had something to talk to Fei privately and hoped that Sheng Guiye could avoid it.
Of course Sheng Guiye couldn't disobey Qiao Yuan's words, so he stopped.
Qiao Yuan followed Fei onto the helicopter.
The helicopter had spacious seats, and the pilot had already gotten off the plane tactfully. For a moment, only Qiao Yuan and Fei were left on the plane.
Qiao Yuan looked at Fei and was about to ask Fei if he had anything to say when he heard Fei's voice first: "What I just said is true."
Qiao Yuan was stunned and realized that Fei was talking about what he had said before about coming to the party and donating gems for her. She thanked Fei for coming from afar.
After hearing Qiao Yuan's thanks, Fei's cheeks turned red. As if because of nervousness, Fei bit his lips before speaking, and then he continued: "I didn't finish what I said before."
"I want to ask...are you willing to go to Beilan with me and be my teacher?"
"This profession is called Taifu in Chinese?"
Qiao Yuan corrected him: "This is an old saying."
Now it seems that although Fijian Chinese is good, some words still have a sense of age.
Fei also realized this and abandoned the title: "The Queen's teacher has a very high status in the country of Beilan. He can be given an official title and a noble title. His power in Beilan is second only to mine."
"But secretly we can share power..."
"I can also handle it with your agency."
She had always wanted to ask Qiao Yuan, but she didn't know if she could get out of the dungeon alive, so she didn't want to make a promise. After surviving the dungeon, she was finally able to speak.
Because he had retrieved Qiao Yuan's basic information, Fei also knew that she had signed a contract with an agency, and according to common sense, she could only leave after the contract expired. However, for Fei, it was not difficult to get the company to terminate the contract in advance.
Qiao Yuan understood Fei's meaning. The other party wanted her to be her teacher and they should be equal. Even after Fei became the future queen, nothing would change.
This is indeed an extremely favorable condition. After all, whether it is the queen's transfer of power or the conferment of titles and honors by the royal family of Belan, it means that power and wealth are within easy reach.
Fei placed power in a position only one step away from her, and as long as Qiao Yuan nodded, she could reach out and touch it.
The voice of the system rang in Qiao Yuan's ears. Although there was still no obvious ups and downs, he could strangely hear the sarcasm in it.
System: [It seems that if you work hard, you may even be able to become the regent. ]
Qiao Yuan: "...It's time to update your language system."
After replying to the system, Qiao Yuan looked at Fei in front of him and chose to refuse: "Sorry, I still prefer to be a star."
Not to mention that she has never taken the teacher qualification exam and doesn't know much about teaching, the most important thing is that she has no plans to cross majors.
Fei's eyes suddenly dimmed.
She had heard the rejection in Qiao Yuan's words, so she didn't ask any more questions, and she felt disappointed. But Fei remembered that she hadn't given Qiao Yuan the gem yet, so she turned around subconsciously and wanted to look for the gem.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan's voice rang out immediately afterwards: "Although I can't be your teacher, I can be your friend."
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, Fei's eyes lit up again: "Friends? Is that really okay?"
Qiao Yuan: "Of course."
"And I don't actually have anything to teach you. I think you're pretty good on your own."
After all, she had been optimistic about Fei in the dungeon before, but she didn't expect Fei to come to her specifically. If the other party is willing, it would be nice to be friends.
Of course Fei is willing.
The other party nodded, as if afraid that Qiao Yuan would go back on his word.
Qiao Yuan's affirmation made Fei's cheeks flush slightly, but after a while, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stood up and picked up the box beside her.
