At this time, President Li finished taking the photos. Lin Huan and the other businessmen took a group photo with some of the children, and then took a group photo with them.
When Ye Fan saw all of this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. However, it was exactly what Su Qingxue had said.
After President Li finished taking the photos, he brought the children and walked to Ye Fan's side.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly?" President Li asked.
Ye Fan forced a smile and shook his head, "Nothing."
President Li's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness as he sighed and said, "Silly child, I know exactly what you're thinking, but... In this world, there are many things that even if you don't want to or don't like, you can't refuse.
"A lot of things have passed in a daze. No matter what those bosses are thinking, as long as they have money in the end, they can enter our orphanage and bring a future for these children. Isn't that what we're after?"
Ye Fan and Su Qingxue were both a little surprised. So it turned out that President Li knew better than anyone else the hypocrisy of Lin Huan and the others.
Although the old woman had spoken very clearly, when he thought about how Principal Li had endured all sorts of hardships and endured all sorts of grievances over the years, pulling charity from all over the place to improve the lives of these children, his nose felt sour.
Su Qingxue was also very impressed. She nodded and said, "President Li, I rarely admire people, but you really make me admire you."
President Li hurriedly shook his head, "Miss Su, you're too serious. I'm old and I don't have much time left. If I can do more for these children, I will do my best."
Of course, if I can find a qualified successor for the orphanage, that would be even better. This is also my greatest wish. "
Ye Fan looked at the old man's face, which was getting thinner and thinner, and said with a frown, "Principal, is there something wrong with your body?" Why do I see you getting thinner and thinner? "Let me help you with your pulse."
"Don't be silly, how can I not be thin when I'm old? I'm still in good health." President Li refused with a smile and directly brought the children over to eat.
Su Qingxue watched the old man walk away and said faintly, "I wonder if the orphanage can have another person like President Li as the Principal. How about we help her find one and let the Principal retire early?"
Ye Fan was actually thinking that Du Yun'er was quite suitable, but he didn't know if the girl was willing to give up her job as a teacher and go to the orphanage to be the principal.
Siu Qingxue met a few acquaintances, and after chatting for a while, the charity auction started.
Ye Fan followed Su Qingxue and sat down, his seat quite close to the front.
Not long after, a few leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and the government walked out from the high platform and said a few words, which could be considered as the opening.
When the auctioneer stepped onto the stage, the auction officially began.
Starting from the first auction item, they were all paintings and handicrafts made by poor children in the mountainous areas, such as bamboo weaving, wood carving, and so on. Gradually, there were also some paintings, calligraphy, embroidery, and so on donated by folk artists.
However, these things were basically not expensive. They were only a few tens of thousands, at most a hundred thousand. These bosses were also very disciplined. They only bought one item and did not want more. Anyway, they just donated some money for the sake of reputation.
It was Dean Li's turn to put up an item for auction. It was a long scroll with the palms of every child on it. The palm prints were colorful and looked like countless flowers blooming.
The name of the painting was also very meaningful. It was called "The Color of the Future".
The host also specially invited President Li to stand for a moment, indicating that all the money from the charity auction of this painting would be given to the Ivy League Orphanage.
"The starting price of this painting is 1000, and each bid must not be lower than 500. The bidding begins!"
As soon as the auctioneer announced, Lin Huan raised his sign and shouted, "I bid 100,000!"
This kind of price, to buy such a painting that strictly speaking had no artistic value, was definitely a sky-high price. Many people at the scene praised Lin Huan, saying that she was really generous and caring.
Lin Huan stood up and said with a serious face, "Children are the future of our country. I, Lin, have such a small amount of money, which is actually a drop in the bucket. I can't help too many children, it can only be considered as a token of my sincerity. Everyone, don't praise me, I, Lin, can't afford it."
With Lin Huan's statement, many people were too embarrassed to compete with him. After all, he had invited President Li and the child, so he must have prepared a show.
Whoever snatched this painting from him would be making things difficult for him.
Moreover, in the eyes of most people, this painting was trash. Even ten thousand yuan would be wasted, let alone a hundred thousand yuan? Even if it was for free, these big bosses wouldn't want it.
After Lin Huan finished speaking, she even walked in front of President Li and specially asked the reporter to take pictures of them.
President Li also cooperated, smiled and stood up, and even thanked Lin Huan.
Seeing this scene and hearing these words, Ye Fan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He sneered and said, "After taking so many photos, you only gave me this little bit of money.
Although his voice wasn't loud, in this kind of auction hall, it was enough to fall into the ears of many people.
The male companion that Qingxue brought had long attracted the attention of many people. It was just that he was too embarrassed to ask.
Lin Huan's face immediately stiffened, and with a fake smile, he said, "This is Director Su's male companion, right? He seems to have a lot of opinions about me, Lin. May I ask which family's young master is he? "
President Li looked at Ye Fan worriedly, feeling somewhat helpless.
"I'm not some young master, I'm just a security guard." Ye Fan said calmly.
"What!?" Hearing that, Lin Huan's eyes immediately darkened, "A security guard actually dares to slander my good deeds? What are your intentions? Director Su, what exactly do you mean by the person you brought?!
Qingxue said with a cold face, "Don't you understand what he means?" "You're too stingy …"
"You …" Lin Huan didn't know what to say for a moment, but many people couldn't help but laugh.
Qingxue glanced at Ye Fan, then raised her sign and said, "I'll pay 10 million."
"Hua!" — — "
Lin Huan was dumbfounded. President Li opened his mouth in shock. Even the auctioneer on the stage thought that he had heard wrongly.
"Sorry, Director Su, you just said 10 million!?" the auctioneer asked.
Su Qingxue nodded, "Yes." leaf
Fan Xian looked at his wife playfully. This girl really understood the principle of "husband singing and wife following". This money was really good to spend.
The auctioneer thought that he had seen a ghost. Such a painting was actually sold for 10 million. Then, any random stone picked up by the roadside could be sold as a diamond.
The reporters at the scene all crazily took pictures of Qingxue, and no one paid any attention to Lin Huan. This was big news!
Lin Huan was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't really pay more than 10 million to compete with Qingxue for such a piece of trash.
"Ten million once … Ten million twice!" … "
Just when everyone thought that Qingxue was going to take away this painting and become the main character of the night, a woman in a black dress raised her sign.
"I bid 100 million."
