Chapter 364 Donated Items
To be honest, Gao Jiu was unwilling to show up when he came to Wuhan. Just like last time, he used a pseudonym and knew that only military personnel and old friends came to Wuhan. He was sure that he had no acquaintances in the aviation committee.
He asked, "Mr. Rogers, wasn't you telling them?"
"Definitely not. I know you don't want to reveal your identity. How could I do that?" Carter Rogers shook his head vigorously, as if he felt a little wronged about Gao Jiu's distrust of him. He said, "Don't you trust me?"
Gao Jiu said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just asked casually, don't take it to your heart."
Carter Rogers is the representative of the donation ceremony. He must have participated in related activities. Xiao Yatong was invited by Carter Rogers to assist him in organizing the event.
Xiao Yatong hoped that Gao Jiu would accompany her to the event, saying that he was using a pseudonym anyway, and no one knew him. Gao Jiu always obeyed the young lady's request and was willing to follow her to volunteer.
However, unexpectedly, the aviation committee actually invited Gao Jiu to participate by name, and Gao Jiu hesitated instead.
When Xiao Yatong saw Gao Jiu's face, she knew that he was embarrassed, so she said with concern: "Ajiu, why don't you go?"
Xiao Yatong came to Wuhan. She was unfamiliar with her place. Gao Jiu was very busy and had no time to accompany her. He felt full of apology for this. This time he finally had the opportunity to help her do something, but this unexpected situation disrupted his plan, and he felt even more guilty.
Gao Jiu thought about it and said, "I'd better go. In the future, our company in the United States will cooperate with Mr. Rogers and their comprehensive Volty company to produce aircraft. I will go to the aviation committee to get familiar with it and sell aircraft to them in the future.
Besides, the invitation card for the invitation was written with my pseudonym, and I guess he would not reveal my identity.”
Xiao Yatong understood Gao Jiu's intentions and knew that he wanted to accompany her, and she felt warm. She felt that Gao Jiu's words made sense, so she did not dissuade him again.
After lunch, Xiao Yatong came to Gao Jiu and asked him to accompany him to buy jewelry. This time the plane donation was half-buy and half-get, and the aviation committee still had to pay part of the money. In order to alleviate the financial shortage, the aviation committee planned to hold a fundraising event to raise this part of the money.
The Aviation Commission was chaired by the wife. Not only that, the wife took the lead in donating several of her jewelry in this fundraising event. She hopes that the women attending the fundraising event will follow her, donate their jewelry, and conduct auctions on site, and use the funds raised to purchase the aircraft.
Xiao Yatong usually doesn't deserve to wear jewelry, but she only wears one or two pieces of jewelry in formal occasions. This time she went out with some jewelry, but it was all left to her by her mother, and she couldn't bear to donate these jewelry. So she asked Gao Jiu to accompany her to buy some jewelry for donation.
The fifth zone gave Gao Jiu a brand new Ford sedan. They thought it very carefully and also gave the sedan a military license plate for the fifth zone.
Gao Jiu drove this car and accompanied Xiao Yatong to buy jewelry.
The two arrived at a jewelry store run by the French. A French clerk saw a pair of young men and women dressed in a very grand manner and hurriedly met them.
At this time, Xiao Yatong was holding Gao Jiu's arm and looked like a couple.
The clerk said in a not-so-proficient Chinese: "Dear lady, sir, do you need anything I need to serve you?"
Gao Jiu took out a big ocean and handed it to the clerk. The clerk received the tip and said happily: "Our store has three floors, and different floors have different types of jewelry."
Xiao Yatong said, "Take us to see the ring first."
Xiao Yatong came prepared this time, hoping to clarify her marriage with Gao Jiu. So she took Gao Jiu directly to the counter of the wedding ring.
The female clerk at the counter was very enthusiastic, with a round face and a smile. She was about to introduce jewelry to Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu, but Xiao Yatong said, "I won't bother you anymore, I'll just look at it myself."
She looked for a while, pointed to a diamond ring on the counter and said, "Please take this out."
The female clerk took out the diamond ring, Xiao Yatong put it on her hand, held it in front of her eyes and watched the diamond ring carefully.
The female clerk originally wanted to recommend this ring to them because it was the most expensive one in this jewelry store. She immediately said happily: "Lady, sir, you really have a vision. This ring is the most popular in the upper class in France. This lady is beautiful and noble. This diamond ring is the best match for you."
Xiao Yatong ignored her and raised her hand for Gao Jiu to see. The ring was beautiful and elegant in style, with a large diamond in the middle, shining brightly under the light, which matched Xiao Yatong's slender and fair fingers very well.
Xiao Yatong asked, "Ajiu, do you think it looks good?"
Gao Jiu said, "It looks good!"
Xiao Yatong said, "I like it very much, too."
When Gao Jiu heard Xiao Yatong say this, he immediately said to the clerk: "How much does this ring cost? We want it!"
"99888 fiat currency." said the female clerk.
Gao Jiu took out a bill of exchange for the central bank and gave it to the female clerk.
Xiao Yatong asked with a smile: "Ajiu, aren't you worried that I will donate such an expensive ring?"
Gao Jiutai knew this young lady. She was born into a business family and was also a smart businesswoman. She would not do such a thing. He smiled and said, "I am willing to do whatever you want."
Xiao Yatong smiled charmingly and wanted to say something, but suddenly she blushed. However, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Ajiu, this is a wedding ring. Did you give it to me?"
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, which is equivalent to asking Gao Jiu if he proposed to her.
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Miss! Of course it was given to you. Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will find a way to help you roll it down."
Xiao Yatong was very relieved and smiled sweetly at Gao Jiu. She didn't need the female clerk to pack it, and she just put it on her hand and didn't take it off.
Then, she pointed to a men's ring on the counter and said, "Take out this ring."
The female clerk was very excited. With her experience, the ring should be able to be sold, so she could get a large commission. She took out the ring very diligently and said, "This gentleman is handsome and elegant, and this ring is very compatible with you."
Xiao Yatong picked up the ring, grabbed Gao Jiu's big hand, and helped him put it on his finger. She asked, "Ajiu, do you like it?"
Gao Jiu took a serious look and said solemnly: "I believe in your eyes, I like the one you choose."
Xiao Yatong said to the clerk: "How much does it cost?"
The female clerk said excitedly: "88888 fiat currency, this number is also very auspicious."
Xiao Yatong took out a wallet from her handbag, took out a bill of exchange from Citibank from the United States, and handed it to the female clerk.
After the female clerk went to the counter to exchange it, she gave Xiao Yatong the change. At this time, she was already happy and was thinking about how much commission she could get. Xiao Yatong's next words made her so happy that she couldn't stop.
Xiao Yatong said, "Pick a few more pieces of jewelry for me."
For things like donating donations, the items donated by the donor must match their own identity, and it does not mean that the donated things are expensive and suitable.
Those who participated in the donation auction were all high-ranking officials and nobles. The items donated by the ladies were to match their husbands' identities or their own family background. Therefore, Xiao Yatong bought a few mid-range jewelry to donate.
At 2:00 p.m. the next afternoon, the donation ceremony of Comprehensive Volti to the Aviation Commission and donated military aircraft officially began. The Deputy Secretary-General of the Aviation Commission and Carter Rogers delivered a brief speech on behalf of the Aviation Commission and Comprehensive Volti. Then Xiao Yatong, spokesperson of Comprehensive Volti, introduced the content related to donating military aircraft.
Then, the spokesperson of the Aviation Commission walked up to the front desk. Like Xiao Yatong, the spokesperson of the Aviation Commission was also a young and beautiful woman.
