Chapter 762 Charity Gala
?The auction is the last part of the charity gala, and all the proceeds from the auction will be used to help orphans and war-torn areas..lā Except for Julian Schnabel's "Pearl of the Pacific", this auction There are still many things that Jiang Chen is very interested in. If the price is not too outrageous, he plans to take a few pieces of art and hang them at home.
Natasha kept complaining that he was too arrogant. Although he didn't think it was hurting him, since he had the opportunity, it would be better to buy a few works of art and go back to make a appearance. Of course, in addition to those works of art, it is said that several wealthy people present will also sell some collections of gadgets. The organizers did not disclose what these collections are, which can be described as full of gimmicks.
It didn't take too long to greet the host, and Mr. Jia Lewei had other guests to greet, so Jiang Chen took the initiative to end the topic.
When he walked into the venue with Xia Shiyu who was holding his hand, the party had already started.
The beautiful hall, with elegant and gorgeous decoration, is surrounded by a transparent graphene plate on one side. Against the backdrop of the blue sea outside and the faint blue light, it adds a few touches of mysterious coolness to the venue.
The waiter carrying champagne shuttled between the long table and the crowd, delivering wine and towels to the guests. This underwater restaurant is one of the famous scenic spots in Penglai City. Whether it is decoration, service, or food on the table, it is built according to the three-star Michelin level, that is, "worth a special trip" to visit cafeteria……
In the party venue, Jiang Chen saw many acquaintances, and many strangers greeted him.
What surprised him most was that he actually saw Carmen Rothschild here. This guy came to Penglai city to attend the charity gala without saying a word, without saying hello to him in advance.
Seeing Jiang Chen, he immediately rolled his eyes, smiled and walked up to him, took Jiang Chen's hand and shook it vigorously.
"We meet again, my old friend."
"Haha, it's been a long time." Jiang Chen smiled and let go of his hand, "This is my female companion, Miss Xia Shiyu."
"Hello, Mr. Rothschild." Xia Shiyu smiled.
"It's an honor to meet you, beautiful and wise Ms. Xia, your male partner is really an enviable guy." Carmen joked very gracefully.
Xia Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled politely, but it was obvious that she liked to hear such compliments.
Jiang Chen also smiled, and then spoke.
"Well, my old friend, are all your troubles over there?"
Judging from the daily international news, the situation in Europe is becoming more and more uneasy. Last year, the Alternative for Germany came to power, and the political circles across Europe began to move to the right. Especially at the end of the year, several consortiums funded the construction of a refugee camp in the forest on the border between Norway and Sweden, which completely ignited the relationship between cultists and mainstream society. Contradictions... and the contradiction between the Virgin and normal people.
"Troubles can never be solved." Carmen skillfully took a bottle of champagne from the waiter's tray, clinked glasses with Jiang Chen, and shrugged self-deprecatingly, "It's like the champagne at this party. "
"Are there any problems in this world that the Rothschild family can't solve?" Jiang Chen chuckled, took a champagne and clinked glasses with him.
"Of course there are, for example, money can't solve the right problems." He said,
Carmen smiled and put the empty wine glass aside, "I recommend you to pay attention to the next auction, there are many good things on it."
"for example?"
Facing Jiang Chen's question, Carmen just smiled mysteriously without answering, and then bid farewell to him temporarily.
Carmen's pretendingly mysterious smile made Jiang Chen itch with curiosity, but since the auction was about to start, he didn't ask any further questions, and accepted the hurdle that Carmen sold.
Although the gala was held in the name of charity, there was no trace of charity at the gala. In such a high society, the common "hobby" of charity is just to give these rich and famous people a reason to get together, meet their social needs at parties, and meet business partners.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people really want to do something for those poor people.
Walking in the venue of the party, feeling the temperature from his arms no longer so stiff, Jiang Chen said with a somewhat abrupt smile.
"It's beautiful."
"En?" Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"I mean, you are beautiful today."
While saying these words, Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile. However, the latter was a little embarrassed by his sincere gaze, and with a pretty face of a little red cloud, he avoided his sight stiffly.
"Why, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"I noticed that since you entered the venue, at least one hundred people have looked at you, and among these one hundred people, ninety-nine have avoided your sight." Jiang Chen said in Xia Shiyu He smirked in his ear.
"Sure, is the dress I'm wearing really weird?" Xia Shiyu quickly lowered her head a little uneasy, and looked at her own clothes and the clothes of other women around her.
Ayesha had borrowed the long evening gown, and it was the first time she had worn it. When Jiang Chen said this, she suddenly felt a little awkward.
"No, it's just because you are so beautifully dressed." Jiang Chen said with a playful smile.
"Blind, what are you talking about?" Xia Shiyu blushed and glared at Jiang Chen angrily.
After walking around the venue for a few times, because Xia Shiyu went to the bathroom midway because he drank a lot of low-strength champagne, Jiang Chen wandered around the venue alone.
At this moment, someone next to him suddenly called out his name.
"Jiang Chen?!"
"You are?" Jiang Chen looked at the man who greeted him in confusion, he didn't remember that he knew him.
Even with the aesthetics of Asians, this man is considered to be more handsome, and he is completely opposite to the rudeness in European and American aesthetic culture. However, being looked at eagerly by the man, Jiang Chen didn't have the slightest liking in his heart, especially since this man was rather handsome, goose bumps almost fell out.
"Of course you don't know me, I'm Alex Watson." Alex offered his right hand.
Alex Watson?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, even if this Alex said his name, he didn't have the slightest impression at all.
Seeing this, Alex could only smile helplessly, spread his hands and said.
"Well, it seems that my sister seldom mentions her underwhelming younger brother outside."
Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed his surname, combined with the younger brother he said.
"Are you... Emma's younger brother?"
"That's right, you finally recognized me. My sister is also at the party, do you want me to take you to meet her?" Alex Emma said enthusiastically.
"No need, if she wants to come to see me, she will definitely come to me." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The two were not familiar with each other, and it seemed that there was no need to meet and say hello. What's more, Emma is the image spokesperson of the future life, and Jiang can be said to be the immediate boss of her immediate boss. If it were Jiang Chen himself, he wouldn't really want to run into his boss during his break time.
At this moment, the sound of glassware breaking suddenly came from the side.
Including Jiang Chen, the guests next to him all looked in the direction of the voice...
