"300,000!"
Just as Liang Zhihao was complacent, the auctioneer was embarrassed and speechless, and the atmosphere was subtle, a clear voice broke the silence in the banquet hall in an instant.
At this time, everyone's eyes looked in the direction of the voice.
It was a beautiful woman in a yellow dress who raised the paddle to bid. She sat at the table with a smile, as if she didn't notice the strange eyes from all directions, and said again, "300,000!"
The banquet hall seemed to be like a deep pool that had been thrown into a stone, inevitably setting off waves.
"Who is this?"
"I know her, a daughter of the Xu family."
"Which Xu family?"
"Which Xu family can there be? It's that Xu family!"
"Even if you have money, you can't spend it recklessly. 300,000 to buy a song. It's Ouyang Derong's work, but who is this Lu Chen?"
"Haha, Xu Hui is Shu Jing's junior sister. She may be helping her senior sister to smooth things over."
"Oh, that's normal."
Many people recognized the woman who raised the paddle and immediately began to talk about it.
Liang Zhihao's smile froze on his face. He also recognized Xu Hui, and he also heard the discussion around him.
"Damn, a gigolo is so popular."
The young master of the Liang family could only curse Lu Chen for being so lucky.
He didn't dare to vent his anger on Xu Hui, because he couldn't afford to offend a member of the Xu family, even if she was the famous rebellious daughter of the Xu family, who was not favored by her family.
Even his uncle couldn't do it.
In Hong Kong, the power of the famous families was very powerful. Those who were qualified to be listed as rich and powerful were all families with deep background, wide connections, and political and economic foundations.
The Xu family was one of them.
As soon as Xu Hui raised the paddle, the embarrassment faced by Lu Chen was instantly resolved, and Shu Jing's face was saved.
Lu Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect that the woman he had chatted with would help him out of trouble, and directly raised the bidding price to 300,000.
Just now, Lu Chen planned to let Li Zhen raise the paddle to take a selfie. Even if it might be a little embarrassing, it was better than no one asking.
But Shu Jing's mind was much more complicated.
Only she knew in her heart that Xu Hui's act of shooting Lu Chen's song was definitely not to support her.
The fact that this rebellious daughter of the Xu family didn't cause a scene was already a great thing!
"What's wrong? You're still not out of the picture? "
Xu Hui waved the bidding card in her hand and asked the auctioneer on the stage.
The auctioneer, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He quickly said loudly, "300,000! Miss Xu Hui bids 300,000! Is there a higher bid?"
Although it was customary to ask, the auctioneer did not think that anyone would bid a higher price, so he raised the hammer and was about to knock it down.
Charity auctions were not as particular as regular auctions. Speed and efficiency were the most important.
"350,000!"
Just when everyone thought that this was going to be the final word, another voice suddenly rang out.
He actually dared to bid against Xu Hui!
Everyone's gazes turned over once again to see who exactly was messing with Xu Hui's plans.
The one who made the bid was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said with a smile, "My Xiaodie will debut next month and lacks a title song, so I can only apologize to Miss Xu."
Everyone couldn't understand what was happening.
Basically all the guests present knew this graceful middle-aged woman. She was Jin Mingxiu, the boss of Madam Jin Entertainment Company, a famous performing arts agency in Xiangjiang.
Jin Mingxiu was born in a prestigious family. She founded an entertainment company in her twenties, involved in the production of movies and TV variety shows, and trained artists and singers. For decades, she had sent a large number of talents to the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang.
Famous actors Liu Jiaen, Gu Rong, singers Gao Mingfeng, Li Li and so on were all taught by Madam Jin.
Although Xu Hui was from the Xu family, she was not strong enough to compete with Madam Jin alone.
Madam Jin had a good relationship with Shu Jing.
What everyone didn't understand was that if Madam Jin wanted to help Shu Jing out, then Xu Hui could bid for it. What was the point of Madam Jin interfering?
It couldn't be that she was angry with Xu Hui, right? Madam Jin was not that bored!
Xu Hui was the one who was really angry. She said with a cold face, "The auction depends on who bids higher. No one is sorry to anyone. I bid 500,000!"
She raised the bidding card again.
Madam Jin's smile did not change. "That's true. Then I will bid 600,000."
In the blink of an eye, the starting price of 10,000 yuan was raised to 600,000 yuan, and it seemed that there was no sign of it ending.
Generally speaking, such a situation rarely occurred at charity auctions. The purpose of everyone here was not to bid for a family heirloom. First, it was to socialize, and second, it was to do charity.
Therefore, even if there was an auction item that they liked and many people bid for it, everyone would talk to each other. Whoever had the bigger face would get it. Everyone was happy.
Madam Jin and Xu Hui were directly against each other, not giving in at all. They were like enemies.
But no one had heard of any grudges between the two.
However, some insiders who knew about the industry were silent. Because if Madam Jin really bid for the title song of her new artist, the price of 600,000 yuan was far beyond the highest level in the industry.
In the pop music industry of Xiangjiang, the top price of a work with lyrics and music was between 300,000 yuan and 400,000 yuan. With Madam Jin's status and reputation in the circle, she had too many choices. There was no need for her to argue with Xu Hui.
Madam Jin was not so superficial. So the question was – what prompted her to do this?
Probably aware of the doubts of others, Madam Jin deliberately explained, "Mr. Lu Chen is the most outstanding singer-songwriter in the Mainland. Each of his works is excellent!"
The auctioneer had said similar words just now, but not many people took it seriously. But now that it was said by Madam Jin, the effect was completely different.
"As far as I know, the price of one of his songs is about one million yuan, and the album 'Woman Flower', which he produced for his girlfriend, Miss Chen Fei 'er, has sold more than five million yuan."
Five million record sales!
Several insiders in the industry took a deep breath. Even in the Mainland, where the market was huge, a record selling more than five million yuan was an extremely amazing result.
And Chen Fei 'er's name was known by many people.
Chen Fei 'er's boyfriend offered a price of one million yuan for a song, and the sales exceeded the charts … With all these factors, it was undoubtedly normal for Madam Jin to bid 600,000 yuan.
Many guests present looked around, looking for Lu Chen's figure. They all wanted to see what such an outstanding person looked like!
Only Liang Zhihao shrank his head, wishing he could shrink back into his pants.
Madam Jin's praise for Lu Chen was like a heavy slap in his face.
He had already felt the strange and mocking eyes from those around him.
