35: Chapter 035: Charity Auction (Request for Recomndations) 35: Chapter 035: Charity Auction (Request for Recomndations) Ye Chen gave the injury redy to Li Lianjie.

“Brother Li, this injury redy is a secret recipe given by an old Chinese dicine doctor, give it a try.”

“Thanks.”

Li Lianjie took the dicine and applied it on himself, instantly feeling that all his pain disappeared.

“Oh my god, it’s so magical.” Li Lianjie often got injured from filming over the years.

He had used a lot of dicine, but nothing had been this effective.

Xu Ke walked over and said with a smile, “Xiaoye, the film was shot well.

By the way, what did you do before?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ye Chen.

They were all very curious.

With such great skills and acting talent, even if he wasn’t an actor, he must have been in a related profession.

“I used to drive for DiDi.”

“DiDi?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“A DiDi Brother?

How can they have such good acting skills?”

“Are DiDi Brothers so talented nowadays?”

“With such great acting skills and such martial prowess, driving for DiDi is a huge waste of talent.”

Everyone was stunned by Ye Chen’s answer.

Xu Ke patted Ye Chen on the shoulder.

“It doesn’t matter what you did before, but from now on, you won’t need to drive for DiDi anymore.”

With Ye Chen’s looks, acting skills, and martial arts, Xu Ke found it incredibly easy to make Ye Chen famous.

Everyone else also showed envious expressions.

Being noticed by Director Xu, it’d be difficult for Ye Chen not to beco famous in the future.

“No way, driving DiDi is my career, acting is just a hobby,” Ye Chen said seriously.

“What the heck?”

“Driving DiDi is your career, acting is just a hobby?”

An actor, without saying anything else, has billions of fans, is under the spotlight every day, and can earn tens of millions from a single film—how prestigious is that!

A DiDi driver, at best, is just a job to scrape by at the bottom of society, how much can you earn in a year?

“Ye Chen, you’re really humorous,” Zhong Lili said with a laugh.

Li Lianjie also chuckled, clearly, many people took Ye Chen’s words as a joke.

“By the way, Ye Chen, there’s a charity auction tonight.

Co with us,” Xu Ke suddenly suggested.

Xu Ke was already cultivating Ye Chen as a star, otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Ye Chen to attend such an important auction.

Ye Chen nodded: “Sure, I can give you a ride.”

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Ye Chen, Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, and Zhong Lili got into a car and drove straight to the art center.

After getting in the car, Zhong Lili said with a smile, “Ye Chen, I’ll submit an order to support you.”

“Sounds good!” Ye Chen grinned.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Kyoto Art Center.

Zhong Lili submitted the order and then gave Ye Chen a five-star review.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a five-star review, activating the second star of good reviews (2/5), rewarded with 10 billion in cash (can only be used for charity purposes)]

10 billion, but it can only be used for charity?

In a previous life, many celebrities liked to engage in charitable work, like Principal Gu, who built over a hundred hope primary schools in Hua Country.

Ye Chen originally wanted to do so charity work, and seeing this reward, it perfectly fulfilled his wish.

The four of them walked into the venue, and Zhong Lili whispered, “All the attendees at this charity auction are famous tycoons from Hua Country, along with so international superstars.

Just take a look; even if you don’t bid, it’s okay.

Director Xu brought you here just to broaden your horizons.”

“I understand, Sister Lili.” Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

The four of them arrived at the auction site.

This auction was also being stread live.

The auction items included paintings, antiques, and so precious acting props.

The participants, whether they were the tycoons from Hua Country or big stars, so truly wanted to contribute for a good cause, while others aid to gain so reputation.

So the entire auction was extrely lively, and within an hour, over a hundred million in funds was raised.

Xu Ke and Li Lianjie each bid one million as a contribution to charity.

Ye Chen hadn’t made a bid because he didn’t want to be too conspicuous in such a setting.

After all, he was a newcor in the film industry; surpassing Xu Ke and Li Lianjie wouldn’t be appropriate.

On stage, host He Jiong said with a cheerful smile, “Everyone, the next segnt is the live talent auction.

We all know Miss Zhong Lili writes beautifully, and Li Yaoyao is excellent at painting.

Next, the two of them will create a piece of calligraphy and a painting live for us to auction.”

Zhong Lili frowned slightly; both she and Li Yaoyao were graduates of the Kyoto Film Academy.

However, Zhong Lili relied on her acting skills, progressing step by step.

Li Yaoyao, despite her diocre acting skills, constantly enjoyed the lilight due to her alluring looks.

These years, Li Yaoyao starred in several terrible films, yet her popularity was significantly higher than Zhong Lili’s.

Originally, the talent show at this auction only included Zhong Lili, but clearly, Li Yaoyao pulled so strings to get in.

Before going on stage, Li Yaoyao said to a handso guy dressed in international labels beside her, “Brother Zhang, you have to support this ti.”

Zhang Shuai smiled, “Don’t worry, with here, your painting will surely fetch the highest price.”

“Handso guy, you’re the best.

After the auction ends, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Li Yaoyao said with a coy smile as she walked onto the stage.

Li Yaoyao glanced arrogantly at Zhong Lili beside her, her face displaying a mischievous grin.

This ti, Zhong Lili was just there to complent her.

Her painting was sure to fetch an astronomical price because she had support.

Although Zhong Lili wrote well, it ant nothing without backing; it would be lucky to even sell.

Over the years, Li Yaoyao had climbed up by stepping on other artists nurous tis.

She had even imagined tomorrow’s news headline.

“Miss Li Yaoyao’s artwork fetches a sky-high price at the auction, contributing to charity.”

Both of them took the stage; Zhong Lili began writing calligraphy, while Li Yaoyao painted.

Two artists performing together had a bit of a competitive vibe.

Soon, Zhong Lili’s calligraphy was complete.

Zhong Lili’s father was a calligrapher, and under the influence of her family, she also beca skilled at writing.

The calligraphy piece was majestic and spectacular; it was fantastic.

On the live streaming platform, many netizens praised it.

“Lili’s calligraphy is amazing!”

“It’s at the level of a calligrapher.”

On the other hand, Li Yaoyao’s painting appeared very amateurish.

She painted a picture of a chick eating rice.

Hmm!

You could barely make out it was a chick.

“What the heck, is this kindergarten level?”

“What is this painting supposed to be?

It’s almost like the chick eating rice my daughter drew.”

…

Two etiquette ladies wearing cheongsams presented the two works to the audience.

He Jiong said with a smile, “Alright, now let’s start the bidding for the two pieces, starting at 100,000.

All proceeds will go to the children in mountainous areas.”

Li Lianjie raised his hand, “I’ll bid one million for Lili’s painting.”

Since they were co-actors, Li Lianjie definitely had to support her.

“Teacher Li bids one million, thank you for your generosity!” He Jiong said with a smile.

Zhong Lili also bowed to Li Lianjie to express her gratitude.

“I’ll bid ten million for Yaoyao’s chick eating rice painting.” Zhang Shuai said arrogantly.

“Ten million?”

The audience was in an uproar.

After all, both Zhong Lili and Li Yaoyao were top-tier celebrities, yet the price difference for their works was huge.

Li Yaoyao teased with a smug smile, “Sister Lili, your calligraphy may be good, but it isn’t as popular as my painting.”

Originally, stepping on soone wasn’t enough; now Li Yaoyao was openly provoking; such behavior was a bit excessive!
