The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

Chapter 355 Final Preparations for the Charity Auction Gala

Chen Mengyao looked around and saw that almost everything had been snapped up by enthusiastic shoppers, a warm feeling welling up inside her. She nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zhou Luochuan and instructed him to have the staff quickly tidy up the scene. After all, a grand charity gala was scheduled for that afternoon, and they needed to set up the venue. She specifically emphasized that they should bring over as many tables and chairs as possible to ensure the gala could proceed smoothly. Zhou Luochuan immediately sprang into action, directing the staff to properly arrange the shelves and other items, and handed over all the proceeds from the sale and donations to Chen Mengyao.

Chen Mengyao accepted the heavy sum of money, her heart filled with emotion. She turned and solemnly handed the money, which embodied countless acts of kindness, to the two hospital directors. The directors accepted it with both hands, their eyes glistening with tears of gratitude. They bowed deeply to everyone present to express their sincerest thanks.

It was nearly noon. Chen Mengyao checked her watch and decided to go to the hotel for lunch first. She instructed everyone to make their own way to the hotel and thoughtfully reminded them that those without cars could hitch a ride with someone who did. Everyone nodded in understanding and followed her instructions.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao, Ouyang Han, and Zhou Luochuan went to the hotel first to arrange the dishes. Before setting off, she patiently inquired about the taste preferences of each guest and staff member with a smile. Whether it was a vegetarian who preferred light flavors or a meat lover who craved rich flavors; whether it was a fan of spicy Sichuan cuisine or a diner who had a particular fondness for fresh seafood, she carefully recorded everything. This thoughtfulness and attentiveness made everyone present feel deeply respected and cared for, and the entire charity sale was filled with an indescribable warmth and harmony.

She knew that a sumptuous lunch was not only a reward for everyone's hard work, but also a way to make thorough preparations for the charity dinner in the afternoon. Before heading to the hotel, she specifically instructed the drivers to take her family there as well, and invited them to stay for lunch as well. The drivers were extremely grateful.

This gesture once again impressed everyone present with Chen Mengyao's generosity and thoughtfulness. They knew that this young woman was not only kind-hearted but also decisive and considerate, earning their sincere respect.

As Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han got into the car and headed to the hotel, Zhou Luochuan thoughtfully arranged for staff to stay behind to ensure everything ran smoothly. He also considerately instructed them to bring back meals for the hardworking staff later as a way of expressing his care and gratitude. Then, he went ahead to guide them.

When their group arrived at the prestigious Grand Hyatt Hotel, Zhou Luochuan, like a seasoned guide, led them to their reserved private rooms. Given the large number of guests, they had specifically booked eight adjoining rooms, each equipped with two spacious round tables. Zhou Luochuan had been extremely thoughtful; he knew the number of guests might increase or decrease, so he booked these rooms in advance as a contingency plan, allowing for cancellations if the number of guests was insufficient.

Upon seeing the group enter in a large entourage, the waiters immediately greeted them warmly, pouring tea and water for them and presenting them with exquisite menus. Chen Mengyao took out a carefully prepared slip of paper from her bag, densely filled with each guest's taste preferences. Not familiar with the menu, she entrusted the task of ordering to Zhou Luochuan, who knew the place intimately.

Zhou Luochuan took the slip of paper, glanced through it carefully, and then began ordering dishes according to the guests' tastes. He ordered a variety of dishes to satisfy everyone's different needs. There were spicy and sour dishes that made mouths water; there were seafood feasts with abalone, fish, shrimp, and other delicacies; and there were also light dishes that left a lingering aftertaste. In addition, there were various chicken, goose, pork, beef, and mutton dishes, with a proper balance of meat and vegetables. Of course, fresh green vegetables were also included to balance the flavors. A total of twenty dishes were ordered, along with two soups, one sweet soup, and the steamed buns were complimentary local snacks from the hotel.

Chen Mengyao was extremely meticulous. She instructed the waiters to prepare the dishes in advance and serve them only after everyone had arrived, to ensure the taste and freshness of the food. She also specifically asked the hotel staff to prepare a portion of the dishes and rice that had just been ordered and deliver them to the designated location. She knew that these people working silently behind the scenes were the key to the smooth running of today's charity event. They worked tirelessly and selflessly, pouring endless effort and sweat into the preparation and execution of the event. Therefore, she specifically instructed the waiters to settle the bill together and provide them with the detailed address.

This gesture not only demonstrated Chen Mengyao's respect and gratitude towards the staff, but also highlighted her meticulousness and thoughtfulness as an event organizer. She deeply understands that every successful event relies on the hard work and dedication of these unsung heroes. Therefore, she always keeps their needs in mind and expresses her respect and gratitude to them through practical actions.

After the waiter quietly left the private room, leaving the three of them with a quiet and private space, they sat around the elegantly decorated table and began a relaxed and pleasant conversation. The topic gradually deepened from everyday trivialities, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Zhou Luochuan even took the opportunity to give Chen Mengyao the key to the venue. However, this tranquility did not last long, as people from the charity sale began to arrive at the hotel. They paused briefly at the entrance, each taking out their phones to dial Zhou Luochuan's number, confirm the location of the private room, and then went straight upstairs.

Zhou Luochuan was well aware of the importance of this gathering. He made a point of going to the elevator entrance to greet each guest with the most sincere smile. For those high-ranking government officials and social elites, he personally led them to Chen Mengyao's private room. This action was undoubtedly intended to create more opportunities for Chen Mengyao, allowing her to interact closely with these important figures, thereby expanding her network and laying a solid foundation for her future charitable work. Chen Mengyao was deeply grateful for Zhou Luochuan's thoughtful arrangements.

As everyone took their seats, Chen Mengyao immediately demonstrated her meticulous and thoughtful service skills. She personally washed the dishes and brewed tea for each guest, her movements skillful and elegant, making everyone feel her sincerity and enthusiasm. Such service undoubtedly left a deeper impression on everyone, and made them even more willing to contribute to her charitable work in the future.

Meanwhile, Emperor Mingsheng and his entourage arrived at the hotel, led by their driver. Ouyang Han, well aware of their status and position, deliberately went to their private room to accompany them, lest they feel uncomfortable sitting at the same table with strangers. As for Chen Mengyao, he had no worries whatsoever. With Zhou Luochuan, the organizer, present, he was more than capable of handling any potential problems.

About fifteen minutes later, all the invited guests arrived at the hotel. The six private rooms were fully occupied, and Zhou Luochuan carefully instructed the waiter to cancel the remaining two private rooms to avoid unnecessary waste.

Once everyone had finally arrived, they sat for a short while before the delicious dishes began to be served. After the dishes were finished, Chen Mengyao poured herself a cup of tea, stood up, and expressed her sincere gratitude to everyone. She thanked them for their strong support, which made her charity sale a complete success. She also toasted everyone present with tea, expressing her respect and gratitude.

The others also picked up their glasses and stood up, clinking glasses with her from a distance before sitting down to enjoy their meal. During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. They talked about how delicious the pastries were and how admirable the exquisite craftsmanship of the handicrafts was. Hearing these words, Chen Mengyao felt a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. She knew that all her efforts were worthwhile, because her charitable work was gaining increasing support and attention.

As the laughter and chatter of lunch gradually subsided, Chen Mengyao settled the bill in the warm atmosphere. She then stood up and gently expressed her intention to leave to each of her friends. Smiling, she explained that she needed to prepare for the charity auction dinner that evening, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation and enthusiasm for the upcoming event. Before leaving, she specifically reminded everyone to be on time at 6 PM tonight to participate in this charitable cause. Everyone was touched by her sincerity and enthusiasm, nodding in agreement and promising to be there on time.

After lunch, Chen Mengyao rested briefly before heading to the next private room, where Ouyang Han was waiting for her. She quietly reiterated the evening's meeting time to everyone in the room and carefully instructed the drivers to take them home to rest and then pick them up on time for the dinner. Once everything was arranged, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han returned to the charity event venue together.

To create a warmer and more touching atmosphere at the event, Chen Mengyao deliberately parked her car in a quiet, secluded corner on her way to the charity gala. After ensuring the surroundings were safe, she quickly and discreetly cooperated with Ouyang Han, who provided cover outside while she silently entered the space. There, she carefully selected a series of charity-themed decorations, each piece embodying a profound understanding and high respect for love and dedication.

Upon returning to the charity gala's preparation site, Chen Mengyao threw herself into the meaningful preparatory work with great enthusiasm. For her, this charity gala was not just a fundraising gathering, but a bridge carrying countless acts of love and hope, connecting every corner of society, conveying warmth and positive energy, and inspiring people's yearning and pursuit of a better life.

She personally oversaw the staff as they methodically moved long tables, chairs, and round tables, meticulously arranging every corner of the banquet. She cleverly joined the long tables together, surrounding the venue to provide guests with a spacious and comfortable area for socializing. In the central area, she carefully arranged round tables and chairs for guests to sit and enjoy the food, while also thoughtfully reserving a large dance floor where guests could dance to soothing music and enjoy a joyful time.

Chen Mengyao also poured her heart and soul into the lighting design. She directed the lighting technicians to carefully adjust the brightness and color of the lights, ensuring that every detail presented the most perfect effect. She knew that lighting was key to creating atmosphere, so she strived to make it both warm and elegant, allowing guests to immerse themselves in this wonderful atmosphere while enjoying their food.

In addition, she set up an auction stage in front of a banner in the center of the venue. This stage will serve as a dazzling platform for the host to showcase the auction items, as well as a lively venue for guests to bid and contribute to charity. She also put a lot of thought into the selection of music, choosing gentle and moving melodies to make music the soul of this charity gala, guiding the guests' hearts to roam in love and hope.

The carefully selected decorations, like the finishing touches, subtly enhanced the warmth and charm of the entire banquet. They resembled exquisite paintings, showcasing a rich artistic atmosphere while conveying deep warmth and emotion. Each decoration seemed like a small messenger of love, silently transmitting Chen Mengyao's passion and unwavering pursuit of charity. They allowed guests to not only appreciate the beautiful scenery but also deeply feel this warmth and strength from the heart.

In this atmosphere, the upcoming charity gala will undoubtedly be a feast that conveys love and hope. It will allow everyone involved to feel the warmth and strength from the bottom of their hearts, inspiring their infinite yearning and pursuit of a better life.

Only after personally inspecting every corner and confirming that every detail was meticulously arranged according to plan and flawless, did Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han exchange a smile and prepare to return to the tranquil and luxurious villa for a short rest. Before turning to leave, they stopped once more and earnestly instructed every employee present to do their utmost to protect this place that was about to witness a glorious moment. Their eyes were filled with trust and expectation, as if they were entrusting a great responsibility to these trustworthy partners.
