Chapter 51 [Charity Auction]

What Ai Yigo did not expect was that the dining place that Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui chose was also on Taiping Mountain. They chose Fengjing Restaurant, which was open-air and Western style. Not to mention whether it was delicious or not, just sitting down, I already felt that everything was worth it. The biggest selling point of this restaurant is definitely not its dishes, but its invincible scenery of the entire Victoria Harbour.

As soon as he walked to the second floor of the mountaintop square, the waiter came up and asked politely if there was any reservation. When he saw Mai Zhaohui, he immediately smiled. It seemed that Mai Zhaohui should be a regular visitor here, so the waiter naturally recognized him.

Mai Zhaohui explained, and the waiter directly led them to the narrow and long open-air yard. In fact, it was an open-air yard, but it was actually in the restaurant, separated by two-story floor-to-ceiling glass next to it, with a wide view, facing the entire Victoria Harbour directly. It was indeed a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour.

It was already eight o'clock now, and it seemed that Hong Kong people were used to having dinner around eight o'clock, but because it was Fengjing, if they really came early, they would lose this unique charm.

The four of them sat down separately. For Ai Yige and Peng Lianqing, it was just an ordinary supper anyway, so there was no special request. Following Mai Zhaohui's arrangement, he ordered oysters and foie gras hand rolls, accompanied by herb butter stewed mushrooms, and enjoyed the night view of Victoria Harbor, slowly waiting for the dishes to come.

After a little chat about how to promote their new film at the Academy Awards ceremony tomorrow night, Ai Yige saw a familiar figure.

Everyone knows this person. Although she covered half of her face with big sunglasses, they quickly recognized her face that at least one billion people knew. Who else could it be if it weren't for Wu Manshu?

Peng Lianqing kicked Ai Yige's leg under the table. Since it was a public place, he did not make fun of Ai Yige, but the cramped gaze in his eyes fully explained everything.

Ai Yige thought that this girl was bold enough to actually go to such an open place to eat. Isn’t you afraid of attracting attention?

Wu Manshu obviously saw the table of Ai Yige, but it was not too surprised. After all, this is one of the most famous top restaurants in Hong Kong. It was understandable that Mai Zhaohui arranged for a meal with Ai Yige here. As if hesitating for a moment, Wu Manshu still came over, stretched out his hand calmly, pretending to be unfamiliar with Ai Yige, and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, it's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ai here."

Ai Yige thought to myself, I was foolishly hitting it at the airport before, but now, you definitely bumped it back on purpose.

He also stretched out his hand and shook Wu Manshu: "Haha, it's really a coincidence. Miss Wu is here to have dinner, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?" Halfway through this, Ai Yige's voice trembled, because Wu Manshu made a face with him in his position, obviously he was not afraid of Peng Lianqing seeing it. What Ai Yige couldn't stand the most was that this girl actually used her fingers to gently snatch his palm while shook hands with her.

Peng Lianqing kept his head down, obviously deliberately holding back his laughter. Seeing Ai Yige and Wu Manshu say hello, he also joined in the fun and stood up, pretending to be hypocritical, and stretched out his hand: "I really didn't expect that I could see you here, sign me a name! Oh..." Peng Lianqing shouted, and Ai Yige kicked him hard with the tip of his leather shoes under the table.

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui looked at Peng Lianqing in surprise. Peng Lianqing didn't care about shaking hands with Wu Manshu, and quickly explained: "I was so excited to see the big star and beautiful woman, and accidentally hit the tabletop."

Ai Yige rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this kid would not even lie. Will you not feel that the table is not moving at all?

Although Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui were not sure about the situation here, they obviously would not be able to get to the bottom of the matter. Moreover, they were a little confused and guessed that the child of the mainland official who had been rumored to have Wu Manshu was probably Mr. Ai Yige, so they naturally would not talk much.

Fortunately, Wu Manshu did not intend to continue teasing Ai Yige. After all, this is a public occasion, and there are people around him. Now someone has begun to whisper about the situation here. Obviously, he also recognized who Wu Manshu is. Fortunately, people seem more reserved in such occasions, and it is hard to really come over to ask Wu Manshu for an autograph.

After saying hello to Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, Wu Manshu went back to his table. Sitting on her table was a young girl. Ai Yige felt a little familiar. She seemed to be a local female star in Hong Kong, but she didn't seem to be too popular. Ai Yige couldn't call her name for a while.

The meal was a little uneasy. Ai Yige was afraid that Wu Manshu would come over and make trouble again. Fortunately, Wu Manshu really had no chance. The main reason was that the guests were embarrassed to come and ask for autographs, but the waiters who couldn't hold on here would come and ask for it. Although they didn't do it too explicitly, they were still overwhelmed by the way to her table one by one.

Ai Yige smiled secretly: I deserve it. Who asked you to come here to have a meal? This is to make trouble for yourself.

Because Wu Manshu unexpectedly appeared, Ai Yige, who was not thinking about eating, ate faster. What is the excuse? It is ready-made. Isn’t there someone sitting by my side who has nothing to do with the movie?

"Sorry, I'm eating a little soon. Lao Peng will go to a charity auction later, so I'll go with him, so..." Ai Yige picked up the tablecloth and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, with a look of apology on his face.

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui didn't mind this at all. This supper was a bit of a routine. In fact, if the matter they discussed before the meal was not reserved for dinner time, they would have been able to settle down when they delivered Ai Yige to the hotel in the afternoon.

So after a while, the four of them settled the bill and left. Wu Manshu saw that Ai Yige had obviously left early, so he couldn't help biting his lip with hatred. After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Ai Yige.

"Hmph, I asked you to accompany me to the top of the mountain for dinner. You refused, but I came with a few big men. Seeing that I ran away early, you were bored!" Wu Manshu said.

When Ai Yige saw the text message, he laughed. They had broken up with Liu Mai and the other two. Peng Lianqing was driving Ai Yige to the auction site. Hearing Ai Yige's laughter, he turned his head and said in surprise: "Don't scare people, okay? I'm driving. Don't you know that Hong Kong and our roads are the opposite? I have to be careful all the time and drive to the right accidentally."

Ai Yige laughed: "You have today too! Who told you not to find a driver? You deserve it if you want to drive by yourself!"

"I really have nothing to say to you. How much do you plan to pay after a while?" Peng Lianqing asked while driving carefully.

Ai Yigo looked at him for no reason: "What money will I pay?"

"Nonsense, charity auction, boss, if you go, do you feel embarrassed to not take some photos?"

Ai Yige thought about it and said, "Let's see it then, you have to look at something. It doesn't matter if you like something you're a little more expensive. If you don't have one, just take a photo. I said, why are you trying to spend money?"

Peng Lianqing couldn't help laughing: "Are you bored? When someone mentioned it to me before, I agreed, thinking that it's a charity anyway, it's okay to do it. But then I thought, there wasn't even a person who could talk around me, and those people in the venue thought I couldn't recognize a few, so I just took you together. Where did you come here, you would be embarrassed to go back without paying a penny? Wouldn't it be that your mother's name was broken?"

"Anyway, when you introduce me to others, don't mention our old man and lady later, just say you are just a friend."

"I'll get the order! The lord told me, how dare I not obey me!" Peng Lianqing said to Jingbai with a loud voice.

Ai Yige smiled and said, "You are poor. To be honest, I really don't believe that your purpose is so simple, just to do charity. No matter how you look at you, you don't look like a good person!"

"Bao, you are a rude person, I'll be scolded if you look back."

"Haha!" Two best friends were playing like kids in the car, and soon arrived at the auction venue near Central.

Rather than saying that this is an auction site, it is better to say that this is a cocktail party. Apart from the orchestras on the front table, there are a few big words shining with golden light on the back, it can be seen that this is indeed an auction site, the rest of the arrangements and decorations are completely like a grand cocktail party.

Perhaps because the people who came were invited by privately and were not particularly formal auctions, the people who came were not dressed too gorgeously. Men wore relatively simple suits and ties, while the ladies were just ordinary evening wears, but they didn’t see anyone wearing dresses.

After handing in the invitation, Peng Lianqing and Ai Yige each took a glass of red wine from the waiter and stood aside to look at the person who appeared tonight. Peng Lianqing pointed to the couple who were almost the only dressed man and woman in the audience near the Central Station, and told Ai Yige that they were the owners who invited him to participate in the auction. All the items at this auction were taken out by them, and all the donations sold will be handed over to Hong Kong Obis to commit to the task of rescuing the blind.

"His father suffered from eye disease two years ago, which was basically blind. He finally saw the light again some time ago, so the couple donated some private collections and jewelry to do some charity, saying that they wanted to thank God for their kindness." Peng Lianqing introduced.

Ai Yige smiled. This seems common in Hong Kong. Many rich people will do this. If there are weddings and weddings at home, they may turn it into a charitable event. However, Ai Yige has the intention to donate more tonight. He used to be unable to do it, but now he has gained such abilities out of thin air and can naturally be more enthusiastic.

Although Peng Lianqing said there would be no friends at the scene, he would still meet some acquaintances. So the two of them kept greeting the people who came and went, and suddenly heard someone whispering next to him: "Young Master Zhou is here." Ai Yige turned his face and looked at the door. He didn't know that Mr. Zhou, but he was quite familiar with the expressionless woman standing behind Mr. Zhou.
