Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1275: Auctioning A Kiss

Chapter 1274 – Auctioning A Kiss

“I want to take this moment to thank our fellow student Xie Yufeng for the two hundred thousand in donations. On behalf of the orphanage, I express their thanks!” Chu Mengyao immediately captivated the audience’s attention. In a light smile, she didn’t wait to watch Xie Yufeng leave the area completely.

Next up, Zou Tiandi also got on stage. He wanted to represent Tiandi Entertainment Group. He was willing to donate five hundred thousand to the orphanage. That sparked cheering from the crowd! Compared to Xie Yufeng’s two hundred thousand, Zou Tiandi’s donation was the largest amount!

“I have to thank Director Zou!” Tang Yun knew that this was Zou Ruoming’s father. Now that she thinks hard about it, she discovers that even Zou Ruoming showed respect to her. There was no bad attitude towards her anymore! Even Tang Yun felt like she had to thank Zou Ruoming. If it wasn’t for his bullying, then how else would she get the opportunity to meet Lin Yi. Indirectly, he was a matchmaker for them!

“No need to thank me, it is for the good of the orphanage. It should be the responsibility of the community! Miss Tang Yun hosted this charity event, so I couldn’t standby without showing support.” Zou Tiandi said those words for Lin Yi to hear. Evidently, he wanted to say that he was there to support Tang Yun. If it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s influence, then he wouldn’t have donated so much money!

“Ah, then I will have to take this time to thank Director Zou for this!” Tang Yun laughed. She wasn’t stupid. She understood Zou Tiandi’s meaning.

Once Zou Tiandi had donated the money and had his speech, he got off the stage. He was finished with his purpose for this charity event.

Following him were many local socialites and famous celebrities that donated money. Although their donated amount wasn’t as much as Zou Tiandi, it ranged from ten to fifty thousand. So there was nothing special with those figures.

These were all within Chu Mengyao and Tang Yun’s calculations. This was still a small charity event, and the socialites came because they value their relationship with Chu Pengzhan. What was surprising was that Zou Tiandi pays his respects to Lin Yi, so he made an appearance there.

As for Fatty Lai, Lin Yi didn’t feel the need to notify him of this event. Lin Yi didn’t want to stand out in this particular event. He could donate resources in the name of Guan Xin Medical Company to the orphanage. There was no need to go through the school charity event to donate to them.

The purpose of donating to charity is not a show for others to see. Lin Yi didn’t desire such a superficial title.

“Next up, we will enter into the auction part of the event!” Tang Yun announced the next event after she had looked at the schedule.

“The auctioned items are all private property that was donated for the sake of the charity event. All proceeds would belong to the orphanage,” Chu Mengyao spoke into the microphone.

Even though Chu Mengyao had said that most of the donated items came from Chu Mengyao’s own property, there were some items that were sponsored by Chu Pengzhan. These items were something the wealthy socialites cared the most about! As one of the wealthiest socialites in Songshan City, Chu Pengzhan must have valuable items in his collection!

All the previous events were just appetizers. This was the main entree that everyone had been waiting for! Expensive calligraphy and artwork, odd rarities, these were all things that the socialites would love to own.

“The first item for auction is donated by our school president Ding Binggong. It is calligraphy artwork that is created by the president himself. President Ding’s reputation is well known...” Tang Yun introduced the first item for auction, but since they were still a small scale operation, they didn’t have a projector or atlas. Everything had to be introduced verbally, while Chen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao were revealing the objects to display!

Ding Binggong was an artist, but his reputation isn’t well known in mainland China. However, he was still a celebrity in the academic world. That made his craft worth collecting. Even if it wasn’t at a high price, it was still very sought after—the most expensive piece he had sold before went for fifty thousand, which is an award-winning piece.

As for the auctioned piece of artwork, it looked like it took a lot of effort, but it wasn’t as good as the award-winning piece.

“Two thousand!” the auctioneer started the price point at one thousand, and every call would increase it by a thousand.

“Three thousand!” Once again, the auctioneer called the price point out loud. The price had reached a surprising eight thousand yuan! It was obtained by an entrepreneur.

Of course, with the sold price at eight thousand yuan, it was an amount that made Ding Binggong very happy. He sold his artwork at an average price of five thousand yuan, so eight thousand yuan was fairly high!

The next item to be auctioned was an item that Chu Mengyao had gotten as a birthday present. It was a very expensive artwork, given to her by her father. Other items were donated by Chen Yushu. Even a few students and teachers donated their items out to charity. However, these items didn’t sum up to a large amount. It was a meager thousand and eight hundred yuan.

Only Chu Mengyao had donated an item that was worthwhile to a seasoned eye! Of course, only the socialites in the crowd can tell the true worth of the item on auction.

“The following item to be auctioned is the very last item!” Tang Yun picked up the schedule. “The last item is a kiss donated by Chu Mengyao?”

After Tang Yun had read the item off the paper, she was shocked. The miss was just as shocked by the sudden turn of events!

Auctioning off her kiss? Who decided to add that part in? What kind of sick joke is that?

When she looked over at Chen Yushu, who had winked back. Chu Mengyao understood what had happened. After the schedule for the auction was set, Chu Mengyao and Tang Yun didn’t look it over. They just took it straight into the auction site.

At this time, now that it had been announced, it would be hard to retract it. Even Chu Mengyao can’t do anything about this situation! She had her reputation for keeping. Even though it is questionable if it was auctionable, Everyone had heard it, so if she said it was a joke, no one would believe her. Even if Chu Mengyao didn’t want to embarrass herself, it seemed unavoidable.

With Chen Yushu winking at her, Chu Mengyao wanted to go over and give her a good beating. This Chen Yushu definitely needs to be punished for messing around too much!

Before waiting for Chu Mengyao to act, Chen Yushu ran over to grab the microphone out of Tang Yun’s hand. “Our school beauty Mengyao has offered up her kiss. Starting the auctioning bid at one hundred yuan. Let the bidding begin!”

Chu Mengyao was infuriated. She glared at Chen Yushu. How could she joke about things like this?

However, Chu Mengyao wasn’t stupid. She thought that there might be a different reason behind it. Could it be that Chen Yushu was creating this opportunity for Lin Yi? So that Lin Yi can get her kiss? Thinking about how Chen Yushu normally acts, this was a very plausible explanation.

Thinking about it like this, Chu Mengyao was embarrassed and angry. She wanted Lin Yi to win the auction because if it was anyone else, she might want to die!

In the end, that was only Chu Mengyao’s wishes. She had forgotten that in the audience, there was her biggest fan. That person was An Jianwen!
