Chapter 442. Dinner
Summer finally found Isabella's number, but when he called her, he found that the number was already empty. It was obvious that Isabella had changed her number, and as for Avril, Summer did not know where she was. Thus, he was temporarily unable to contact the people from the Shadow Squad, and naturally did not know if the Shadow Squad had stopped their pursuit of Qiao Qiao.
However, he didn't have the mood to care about this in the summer, so he had to go and heckle Liu Meng who was still angry.
"Sister Meng!"
"I'm singing and I'm ignoring you!"
"Sister Meng, then I'll listen to your singing."
"You're a bad guy, I'm not singing for you!"
"Sister Meng, can I accompany you to play?"
"Not good, I'd rather play with Little Tiger. Little Tiger is still the best. If I let him play with me, then he'll play with me. He's not like some little scoundrel who always goes back on his word!"
… ….
This time Liu Meng was angry for a relatively long time, which was a full ten minutes. Then, under the condition that she would stay with Liu Meng until tomorrow, Liu Meng happily dragged Xia Zhi downstairs and together they tortured the pitiful Xiao Hu.
The poor little tiger had been tormented by these two for the entire afternoon until around 6 PM. Finally, someone came to save him. If Little Tiger could speak, he would definitely kneel down and thank the goddess who had saved him, Qiao Qiao.
"Hubby, Sis Meng." Hearing Qiao Qiao's voice, Summer and Liu Meng temporarily stopped torturing Little Tiger and ran over to the fence.
"Little Joe, why are you here? Do you want to play with Little Tiger too? " Seeing Qiao Qiao, Liu Meng had a strange look on her face.
"Sister Meng, I'm going to a charity dinner later. Do you want to go?" Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly. Naturally, she did not want to play with the tiger. She did not have the ability or hobbies to do so.
Liu Meng blinked, "Do you want to bring Little Scoundrel along?"
Although Liu Meng had the temperament of a child, this did not mean that she was stupid. She immediately thought of the fact that Qiao Qiao wanted to go with her in the summer.
"That's right, Big Sister Meng. Big Brother said that there are a lot of people at the charity gala, and there aren't any special security measures there, so he's a bit worried." Actually, it wasn't just a matter of security measures. The main issue was that Qiao Donghai had used some methods on Fang Ying's mother just now, so he was a little worried that she would be in a desperate situation. Thus, before he received any news from the Shadow Squad, Qiao Donghai still hoped that Qiao Qiao could accompany her during the summer.
"Oh, that little rascal promised to stay with me until tomorrow. If he wants to go, then I'll go too!" Liu Meng said in a delicate voice.
Before he left, Liu Meng greeted Xiao Hu, "Xiao Hu, I'll play with you next time. We'll be leaving first!"
Poor Little Tiger looked at Qiao Qiao with tears in his eyes as he watched his goddess leave. At the same time, he prayed that she would appear more often in the future so that he would not be tortured by the witch.
… ….
The location of the charity dinner wasn't unfamiliar to him during the summer. It was exactly where he had his wonderful memories from, the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The second floor of the Hyatt Hotel was a special banquet hall, and tonight's charity banquet was held here. No matter if it was the place where the banquet was held or the various dishes and drinks, they were all sponsored by the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The reason for this was because the host of tonight's charity banquet was Shao Zhixiong.
Shao Zhixiong was a well-known philanthropist in the country. As a 50-year-old Shao Zhixiong, his experience was quite legendary.
Thirty years ago, Shao Zhixiong was just an ordinary mountain village teacher. He taught in a very poor place and many children couldn't afford to go to school, so he put up his pitiful salary in an attempt to make every child go to school. But then, he found that with his small amount of money, he simply wasn't able to solve the problem.
After some consideration, he left his teaching job and came to Jianghai City to adventure. He had quite a good business mind, since it was the era when the school was open to the public, he quickly made a lot of money, and he finally got his wish granted to every child in that mountain village to read books.
However, he gradually discovered that no matter how much money he earned, it was still far from enough compared to the countless number of poor children in the country. Thus, starting from ten years ago, he handed over the business to someone else to manage, set up Shao Zhixiong's Charity Fund, and began to wholeheartedly do charity.
In these years, Shao Zhixiong's philanthropic fund developed rapidly, and Shao Zhixiong started to support the children who were not in school, and then expanded to other fields. However, education was still the most important part of his philanthropic fund.
Every year, Shao Zhixiong would hold a charity dinner in Jianghai City at the same time and the time was basically the same. That was, every year, today, Teacher's Day on the 10th of September.
Unlike many charity dinners where auctions were held, there would be no auction procedures for this one. It was just a dinner. Of course, the most important thing was to raise money.
As the most famous genius girl in Jianghai City, Qiao Qiao's invitation was naturally not out of the ordinary. In fact, this was not the first time Qiao Qiao had attended Shao Zhixiong's charity dinner, but every time, she would donate quite a bit of money, at least over a million dollars.
Of course, Qiao Qiao's family was not the only one receiving the invitation. Qiao Donghai also received it. However, he did not go with Qiao Qiao and instead went on his own.
Although the formal charity dinner only started at eight o'clock, it was just 7 o'clock, and the banquet hall on the second floor of the Grand Hyatt had already gathered a lot of people. Although the formal charity dinner only started at 8 o'clock, it was just 7 o'clock, the banquet hall on the second floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel had already gathered a lot of people.
As the host of the banquet, Shao Zhixiong naturally appeared a long time ago. Shao Zhixiong's appearance was actually quite ordinary, and his words and manner were quite amiable. He had a smile on his face towards everyone, and it was very easy for people to get a good impression of him, but now, Shao Zhixiong and his wife Liu Xiaoyun were separately greeting everyone who came to attend the banquet.
At this time, another man and a woman appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. Shao Zhixiong quickly pulled his wife along and walked over. The man's appearance was quite ordinary, but the girl was only 13 or 14 years old.
"Bebe, you came." Shao Zhixiong warmly greeted the girl and then turned around to face the man. For a moment, he was in a daze, "This, you are …"
"Puchi!" The girl laughed, "Uncle Shao, you don't know brother?"
