Chapter 3584: Finally Here
Editor: Atlas Studios
The girl finally calmed down a little. Her gaze wandered around casually, and she inadvertently glanced at the tall foreign man not far away.
The other party seemed to sense her gaze and opened his mouth in surprise. He couldn’t believe she was slacking off.
Qiao Nian ignored him, retracted her gaze, and bit into the candy. Then, she licked her lips and stared at the stage with her dark eyes.
Indeed, in the few minutes she was distracted, Miss Sapor’s “noble” speech ended.
Right on the heels of that, a person in charge went on stage to announce that an auction was going to begin. A portion of the proceeds would be donated to charity.
...
Qiao Nian had seen so-called rich people’s auctions in Rao City in the past. The portion that they spoke of was not even half of what the netizens thought.
In fact, it could be 10,000, 50,000, or 100,000 yuan.
It was already not bad if a seven-figure auction item amounted to a donation worth a few tens of thousands.
An auction item worth tens of millions could e up to a hundred thousand yuan in donation.
As for this charity gala, if nothing went wrong, it would be the same procedure. They just had to donate a few dollars to save face.
In fact, the proceeds from the auction fell into the auctioneer’s hands.
Tonight’s auction was special. In addition, Nie Qingru was in attendance, so the auction items were quite expensive.
Tourmaline, diamond necklaces, and jewelry with some historical collection value were presented.
During this period, Nie Qingru raised her placard and bid for a set of pearls and jewelry of collector value. After whispering a few words to the staff beside her, someone went up the stage and announced that she would donate this set of jewelry to the families of the recently deceased sailors in the open sea.
The price was in the eight figures.
It was nothing too extravagant given her background, but it was still generous and suited her status.
Donating eight-figure jewelry on the spot won her a lot of praise. When her face appeared on the big screen, Nie Qingru only nodded slightly, full of arrogance and nobility.
Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and counted the time with her hands in her pockets.
The banquet lasted for almost two hours.
Besides Nie Qingru, who had bid for a set of jewelry as a show of respect, people from several large families had raised their auction cards only once. They looked relaxed and determined to win. Clearly, they were waiting for the finale item.
Qiao Nian knew what they were waiting for, so she wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
The gaze of the foreign man who had been observing her was attracted by the bustling auction on the stage.
He looked at the seven-figure and eight-figure bids fervently and had seemingly forgotten about her.
Qiao Nian was happy to be free, so she leaned against the wall and watched the motion.
After a few rounds, tonight’s finale item finally appeared.
The people from the big families who had long received the news all became serious. They sat up straight and stared at the item being wheeled onto the stage.
The lady pulled the golden velvet cloth to reveal a box, inside which was a snow-white pill.
pared to the expensive jewelry dazzling under the light, the medicine pill looked a little inconspicuous.
At least to ordinary people, this was not as valuable as the box containing the diamonds.
However, the moment the velvet cloth was lifted, the big shots’ eyes lit up. Their unconcealable excitement was much more fanatical than the diamonds and jewelry from before.
“Our last item today is a medicinal pill sent by the Pharmacy Association on Mr. K’s behalf. The starting price is 30 million dollars.”
