Chapter 549 Charity Auction (2)
The two of them went out in the morning and it was already evening when they came home. They were afraid that they would be seen, so Zhu Fengfeng walked in by himself with trembling.
"The two dolls have already fallen asleep. You are not here today. Nuannuan is in a bad mood and hasn't finished drinking milk powder at night..."
The old man was worried if his granddaughter didn't have a good meal.
"When will I get it? I'll make the milk powder later." Wen Jing checked the two children before he had time to drink water.
"I've been drinking... for an hour. A Jing, Susu is too young. Besides, the times are different now. It's beyond the regulations to give birth to two. You can take time to have surgery. Don't accidentally get pregnant, as it hurts your body at that time."
"?"
"I know." It's hard for Master Wen to blush, but the old man's words did remind him.
At this time, the birth control method is generally mainly female. However, a questionnaire shows that the birth control ring is still very harmful to women, and he will definitely not be willing to let it go.
Then, Zhu Fengfeng discovered that this person didn't know what he was doing recently, and seemed to be a little bit behind her back. He called her well and came in to get the things, but he suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong with you... recently?" He didn't say that he was so busy that he went out early and returned late. It had been a week since the engagement banquet of the Jiao family's daughter. He could actually hold back his cover to sleep on a quilt every day.
Why did you buy so many raincoats? You suddenly became angry, but she would never admit that she had a need.
"Sorry, baby, the company has been doing a lot recently. I have neglected you. When I finish my work, I will accompany you on a good tour."
"Why are you so busy all of a sudden? Is there something wrong? Can I help?"
"No, it's because of the cooperation we had negotiated before. If there were any mistakes, it would be fine. Don't worry, it won't take long... The housekeeper said that someone from the Jiao family came to give gifts today?"
"Well, Mr. Jiao came with Mrs. Jiao and came to visit grandpa. I don't know. Grandpa had been a gentleman before..."
Obviously, Zhu Fengfeng has been distracted and describes the words and deeds of the visitors at home in detail today.
"By the way, Mrs. Jiao invited me to attend this Saturday night charity auction today. I don't know if you have time, just say you're thinking about it."
Charity auctions are an effective way to win reputation, especially for businessmen, so she did not refuse when Mrs. Jiao invited them.
"I happened to receive an invitation, and the baby would go if he wanted to."
"You have time, then, what do I need to prepare? What are the auctions in the imperial capital usually displayed? Do I still need to take out something to auction and donate the proceeds from the auction for free?"
Charity auctions focus on charity, and routines should be the same.
"Well, I went to the warehouse to pick two items these two days, and I'll send them to register."
"No need to go to the warehouse. I have a lot of good things in my hands. Just take out one or two of them."
She couldn't use the inventory of the Wen family to buy her reputation, not to mention that she had a lot of treasures. Every time Shen Longxu, Shen Qingyuan and the others came, they would find various excuses to give them ones and ones. Those things were not eaten or used, and they had to find special people to take care of them. It was too troublesome and was suitable for this occasion.
"Yeah, that's fine."
The auction started on the evening of the weekend. This time, Zhu Fengfeng and Wen Jing were both low-key. Wen Jing was wearing a black suit. Zhu Fengfeng wore a black velvet dress and quietly went in, finding a seat that was not very eye-catching.
"Did I also want to pick one or two things to take? Is there anything on the gift list useful to you?"
This kind of occasion is not only about spending money to buy reputation, but also about socializing in this subtle way. She had participated in charity auctions before, but it was later in the Nancheng and the situation in the imperial capital, and she was still unfamiliar with it.
"No, just take a photo when you see what you like. Don't deliberately. This auction was led by an old artist, and there are not so many strategies."
"Do you know that old artist?"
"Well, she was my mother's close friend during her lifetime. She was born in a scholarly family and was doing charity all her life. All her assets have been donated."
"No wonder." She said that the little marquis was not like the kind of person who was idle and wandering around. It can be seen from the excitement of Mr. Jiao when they attended the engagement banquet of Miss Jiao last time they attended Miss Jiao's engagement banquet and the surprise of others around them.
"In the past, I always asked Tao Zhiyi to come over and buy something casually."
"Oh..." Zhu Fengfeng's mind was all about buying something casually. Is this a question of buying something casually? Ah? How could it be an ordinary thing that can be taken out at auction? Buy something casually, buy something casually...
"Little Marquis?" The two of them whispered to each other, but they didn't expect that such a biased place would be recognized.
"Mr. Meng Shao? Mr. Meng is here too today? Didn't he bring a female companion?"
He looked up unhappy and Wen Jing said something so painful. The face of the young man Meng next to him suddenly became stiff.
"The little marquis was joking..."
"Yeah, just kidding, don't be nervous."
"?" This man seemed to be targeting Mr. Meng. Zhu Fengfeng reached out and poked his arm.
"Be good, stop making trouble, it will start soon, see if you like it."
"???" He was acting with her? However, the above has indeed begun. What is rare is that the host was actually a well-dressed young man. Zhu Fengfeng finally believed in Wen Jing's definition of this auction before.
"Little Marquis, this one is..."
"My wife, why? Mr. Meng's vision is already so high?"
"?" Did this person take gun medicine today? He was still fine just now, but why did he become so angry in a blink of an eye?
"No, no, Mr. Wen misunderstood, misunderstood..."
Mr. Meng secretly peeked at Zhu Fengfeng before sitting upright uneasy.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's okay, let's talk about it when you go back and watch with peace of mind."
He glanced at the young man Meng with a light look. Seeing him stiff so hard that he was sweating profusely, Wen Jing withdrew his gaze and focused on the stage.
Zhu Fengfeng took a ruby necklace and a purely handmade wolf brush with a history of two hundred years. All the things came from the Shen family, which was a small turnaround for the Shen family.
Charity auctions are not as particular as black market auctions, and things are divided into good and bad. Everything on the charity auction gift list is sorted according to the donation time, and the things that are so blessed are ranked relatively behind.
"Huh?" She was just a spectator, but she didn't expect that she would find something good.
"Huh? Like?" Wen Jing was almost dozing off. He suddenly heard the surprised voice of the little girl beside him, and then he focused on it. It was a dark green bracelet.
"Yeah, I like it, let's check the price first..."
"Hundreds of thousands."
"What are you doing?!" The auctions are all about the host introducing the items, estimating the price, and then starting at no reserve price. Although most of the starting prices will not be too low, no one is the sucker, so how can he be like this?
