Saving the second male lead: Wouldn’t it be nice to kidnap her and have her as your wife?

Qiu Jue looked at Pei Liyuan indifferently without saying a word. Song Xing also held Qiu Jue's hand tightly, staring at Pei Liyuan firmly, responding to his greeting with his eyes.

Pei Liyuan glanced at Qiu Jue and Song Xing and smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about their indifferent attitude. He picked up the champagne in his hand, took a sip, and then said, "Tonight's banquet is very lively, but there are always some people who will become the protagonists of everyone's attention no matter how reluctant they are to participate."

"Thank you for your kind words." Qiu Jue replied indifferently.

The waiter came to Pei Liyuan with the remaining two glasses of champagne. Pei Liyuan put his half-drunk glass of champagne back on the tray and handed the two full glasses to Song Xing and Qiu Jue respectively.

"Go on, don't embarrass me." Seeing that the two had no intention of taking over, Pei Liyuan pushed the cup forward and warned in a low voice.

Well, there’s no way to avoid it, Song Xing took the champagne.

This was the first time he had seen real champagne, which glowed with golden light in the glass. The delicate bubbles were like millions of tiny diamonds, dancing in the liquid, exuding an alluring fruit wine aroma.

Song Xing raised the cup and took a sip.

The taste is a bit strange, like drinking some kind of mixed fruit sparkling water, and then there is a subtle yeasty taste and a creamy texture, a bit sour.

It might taste good, but Song Xing doesn’t like it. After taking this sip, Song Xing doesn’t plan to drink it anymore.

Qiu Jue also took a symbolic sip, then raised his glass to signal Pei Liyuan that he could leave.

Seeing that the two of them only drank a little and had no reaction, Pei Liyuan left with that fake smile on his face.

A platform slightly higher than the ground was built in front of the banquet hall. At this time, several nurses were escorting Mr. Pei to the stage. Father Pei was standing on the side of the stage. There were also many unfamiliar people, who seemed to be from a branch of the Pei family, including men, women, young and old. Pei Liyuan also arrived quickly and stepped onto the stage with his long legs.

Seeing that all three generations of the Pei family had shown up, everyone stopped talking and waited for the speech from the largest family in Beijing.

The three generations of the Pei family stood on the stage, with extraordinary momentum. Although Mr. Pei was old and looked not very healthy, his eyes were still bright and he showed a leadership temperament. Pei Liyuan looked calm, as if everything was under control. Father Pei... Father Pei stood aside normally, as if he was being punished.

Everyone waited quietly, and the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.

The host cleared his throat and began to speak: "Thank you all for attending tonight's charity dinner and supporting this noble cause with us. We gather together not only to enjoy food and fun, but also to lend a helping hand to those in need..."

Barbara.

"Now I'd like to invite the organizer to speak. Welcome everyone."

Croak, croak, croak.

Mr. Pei's voice was unexpectedly calm and powerful. "Dear friends, we are gathered here today for the charity dinner held by Pei's family today. I believe that many people have recently seen the abilities of my grandchildren. This time, I am also fighting for the reputation of my grandson, Pei Liyuan."

Pei Liyuan took over the conversation. He was surprisingly calm and reserved. "The Pei family will be committed to promoting the economic development and social progress of the capital. The items for the upcoming charity auction will be provided by our Pei family, and all proceeds will go to the Pei family's charity foundation. The income and expenditure of each item of funds will be transparent and visible."

It seemed that Pei's father had no chance to speak and just acted as a background board.

The host continued with his polite remarks.

Song Xing listened and felt that it was like a swearing-in ceremony, very boring. The aftertaste of the champagne was unexpectedly good, and he felt like drinking more.

So he picked up the cup and took a few more sips.

What is this? Take a sip, it doesn't taste good. What is this? Take a sip, it doesn't taste good. What is this? Song Xing repeats this over and over again.

Qiu Jue found it funny, but still advised him to drink less as he could get drunk easily.

Song Xing hummed, and just as he had finished drinking, he put the cup aside and began to head towards the self-service area excitedly.

The buffet at a dinner of this level is usually just for show. No one would eat it. It's cheap.

Song Xing was different. He saw the place full of expensive delicacies, black truffles, foie gras, Australian lobster, caviar, Wagyu beef...Okay, it doesn't sound too expensive, but it's not the same level as what you normally eat in a buffet restaurant outside!

You eat beef, it costs 25 yuan per pound in the market. The rich eat beef, Matsusaka and Oo, the top-quality wagyu cattle flown from Australia and slaughtered on the same day, and they only eat a small piece of A5.

What a waste! Song Xing was amazed. Seeing that no one took anything, he quietly took a plate and ate some, just like a primary school student stealing food in class.

Qiu Jue didn't say anything and simply ate with Song Xing, eating openly.

Do not eat white do not eat.

Finally, the auction officially began.

An elegant auctioneer in formal attire walked up to the stage and began to introduce tonight's auction items.

Each lot has been carefully selected and is of great value, including artworks, famous paintings and calligraphy, antique treasures, etc. Everyone in the audience was given a tag with a number, and they were all eager to try.

The first lot was a painting by an ancient master, a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. As the auctioneer introduced the auction, the atmosphere gradually heated up, and the sound of bidding continued. The wealthy raised their cards and offered high prices, competing for this precious work of art. The tense atmosphere at the auction spread throughout the venue, and every bid made people's heart beat faster.

Finally, it was sold at a price of 460 million. Pei Liyuan sat in the front row with a smile on his face.

A good start.

Next came a priceless jade ring, followed by a bottle of rare vintage wine, and then a porcelain bottle from the feudal dynasty... Each item attracted the attention of the guests and triggered fierce bidding one after another.

They are all sky-high prices. Song Xing held up the number sign in his hand and fanned it, just like watching a real movie for free.

In the middle of the auction, an item was launched. This item was a somewhat tattered bamboo slip that seemed to have been restored.

"According to the test, this should be a fragment of the Medicine King's book. The starting price is 10."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then began to bid, and soon the price was raised to 200 million.

For a bamboo slip that only has collection value, the starting price is 10 yuan, which is already a sky-high price now, and it seems that no one wants to raise the price.

The auctioneer announced loudly: "Two million, second time, is there a higher bid?

Song Xing paused while fanning himself, and his card was snatched away and raised up. Qiu Jue even made a gesture after raising the card.

"Number 76, increase the bid by one million. The current bid is 300 million. Any more?" The elegant auctioneer was still patiently persuading the buyer, waiting for the next higher price.

I watched the auction video of Ms. Chen Liangling.

Price calling, switch between four languages.

But novels can’t be too close to reality, right?
