After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei approached He Zhizhou and Zhong Yi and asked softly, "But I don't know the prices of those auction items. I don't know if they are worth buying."

Zhong Yi smiled after hearing what Li Jiawei said, "That's not a problem. You will sit with me and the governor later, and we will help you check and make sure you don't waste a penny. And do you think the people participating in the auction know how to appreciate the prices of those things? They don't know either, but it doesn't matter if they don't know. As long as you know how to spend money, you can raise your hand when you see something you like."

Li Jiawei felt much calmer after hearing what Zhong Yi said, as it was almost the same as what her father Li Ronghua said. She quickly thanked him, "I understand. Thank you, Brother Zhong Yi."

Xiao Yi walked slowly into the banquet hall. His straight suit gleamed under the light. The slim design perfectly outlined his figure, which swayed gently with his steps.

Xiao Yi's appearance attracted the attention of the guests at the banquet. After all, he was famous and charming. Many ladies at the banquet almost had their eyes glued to him.

However, Xiao Yi ignored the gazes of those people and searched the banquet. He soon found the beautiful figure in the royal blue evening dress and He Zhizhou beside her, which reduced his worries about Li Jiawei a lot.

The brand director walked up to Xiao Yi and noticed that the suit he was wearing was exactly the new product of their brand this season. This suit was perfectly displayed on Xiao Yi, and the suit and Xiao Yi complemented each other.

The brand director exclaimed: "Xiao, you perfectly interpret the charm of this suit. I can't imagine anyone else who can fit this suit so well like you!"

Xiao Yi replied modestly: "Your brand's designers still design well."

Li Jiawei, who was talking with He Zhizhou on the side, noticed everyone's gaze and looked in the direction they were looking. She found that the focus was Xiao Yi. She couldn't help but feel surprised and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Seeing this, Zhong Yi teased Li Jiawei, "Sister Jiawei, are you also a fan?"

Li Jiawei turned around and looked at Zhong Yi in confusion. Zhong Yi pointed in the direction of Xiao Yi and said, "Don't you like him? I think all the girls at the party like him very much."

Li Jiawei and He Zhizhou smiled at each other, and Zhong Yi was not an outsider, so He Zhizhou whispered in Zhong Yi's ear: "Xiao Yi is Jiawei's fiancé!"

After hearing this, Zhong Yi looked at Li Jiawei in surprise, and Li Jiawei smiled and nodded.

Zhong Yi covered his mouth and looked around, whispering: "You guys have done a good job of keeping it secret. There is no news about the engagement on the Internet." After that, he sighed and looked at the celebrities attending the banquet: "If they knew, they would probably be very sad."

Li Jiawei laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. They like the characters Xiao Yi portrayed in movies and TV series, and they just have some empathy for Xiao Yi himself."

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Aren't you?"

Li Jiawei looked up and said, "Of course I'm not such a superficial person. What I like is his inner qualities."

Zhong Yi listened to Li Jiawei's sophistry, laughed twice, and whispered: "But congratulations to you, your future husband is very handsome."

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "Thank you, I think so too."

While the three were chatting, Xiao Yi was stopped by the brand. Since he was attending this charity dinner and was the global spokesperson for the brand, he should also add some chips to the dinner.

As the guests took their seats one after another and the singing and dancing performance ended, the highlight of the night - the charity auction officially kicked off.

Li Jiawei, He Zhizhou and Zhong Yi sat in the first row. After the host gave a warm-up speech, the auctioneer walked onto the center of the stage. The first lot was a set of diamond necklaces newly launched by the brand this year.

Li Jiawei was not interested in this diamond necklace. After all, she had received so many jewels from her grandmother Zhang Qiushuang, her mother Jingqiu, and her elder sister-in-law Zhong Xinlan that she could not wear them all, and she could not store them at home. Many of them were stored in her bank safe.

However, since there are only two sets of this jewelry in the world and the main diamond in the necklace weighs a large amount and has collection value, many people participated in the auction for this set of diamonds at the banquet.

Ten minutes later, the first set of items was finally bought by a lady at a price of 12 million. Fifty percent of the final transaction price of the items will be donated to the China Charity Foundation.

He Zhizhou whispered to Li Jiawei, "The person who bought this lot is Ms. Xu Jiayao, the wife of Dongsheng Real Estate Chairman Tong. She has a lot of say in Dongsheng Real Estate. The real estate business under the Li Group has a cooperative relationship with Dongsheng Real Estate."

After that, whenever an item was auctioned, He Zhizhou would introduce the identity and background of the bidder to Li Jiawei.

Li Jiawei listened very carefully. These were things she had not understood before, and she was very grateful that He Zhizhou could introduce them to her so patiently.

When the auction was halfway through, Li Jiawei had not yet bid for any item. Zhong Yi looked at her and asked in confusion: "Jiawei, why didn't you bid for any item?"

Li Jiawei looked at Zhong Yi and said a little embarrassedly: "They are all jewelry and dresses. I don't lack these things."

After listening to Li Jiawei's explanation, Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Jiawei, this is a charity auction. Even if you don't like the pieces, you still have to bid for them. This is a way to do charity. Look at those who participate in the auction. How many of them are really short of jewelry? This is actually a way to show financial strength to the outside world. You are now representing your father to attend this charity dinner, and you are also representing the Li Group. If you don't spend money, outsiders may mistakenly think that the Li Group has encountered some trouble or is short of funds."

Li Jiawei looked at Zhong Yi and He Zhizhou and asked, "Does the auction still have such invisible rules?"

He Zhizhou nodded and replied, "Yes, but don't worry. It's only the first half, and the good stuff hasn't come out yet. Wait until the second half, and you can just pick two that you like and buy them."

Li Jiawei felt that she had learned a lot and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll make a move when I see someone I like."

In this charity dinner, the first half of the auction was mainly jewelry and dresses from brands, while the second half was antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some clothing that embodied Chinese culture. These clothes were carefully made by skilled craftsmen and embroiderers.

Li Jiawei looked at the items on the stage and felt that they were more complex in craftsmanship and more like luxury goods than the brand's jewelry and dresses.

The last lot was an oil painting by a modern painter, which was sold for 200,000 yuan. Although Li Jiawei did not understand oil painting, she intuitively thought that it was not as good as her mother Jing Qiu's work, so she was not very interested.

Everyone sitting next to Li Jiawei noticed that she had never raised a sign since the auction began. And because she was sitting in the first row, everyone speculated about her identity. Seeing Zhong Yi from the Zhong Group sitting next to her, everyone thought she was Zhong Yi's canary.

If Zhong Yi didn't buy them for her, how could she have the money to bid for these items? For a moment, some people looked at her with disdain.
