How to spend money [Entertainment]

It was not long after Lin Chongshan left that Shen Tong realized that this charity dinner was not just a dinner.

Gu Yu told him that the host of the banquet would open the hall next door, which was a place where many rare artworks and objects were placed.

Guests are invited to visit, and they can buy items they like at a fixed price, and all the money spent will be counted after the dinner and donated together.

That is to say, guests can not only spend a lot of money on their favorite items, without worrying about being scolded by netizens as extravagant, but also get a reputation for being enthusiastic and charitable.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Not to mention that the host of the banquet prepares items of extremely high quality every year.

Not long after Gu Yu finished speaking, Shen Tong and him were invited by the waiter, who stated that the exhibition hall next door was open;

Guests are free to visit. If they like it, they can inform the waiter and buy it directly. The exhibits will be delivered to the owner after the dinner.

Gu Yu's eyes are very high.

Shen Tong has discovered this in his daily relationship with him, and this person can't help but praise the good exhibit

Shen Tong was still quite interested.

just

He looked in the direction where Lin Zhongshan and the entrepreneur left, but he didn't see them.

"It should be on the balcony," Gu Yu explained, "It will be quieter and more secluded if we talk about business."

The implication is that everyone has gone to such a hidden place, so it would be bad for us to bother them again, right?

"I seem to hear someone inviting me to go with me."

Shen Tong squinted at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu returned an innocent look, "Really?"

"I just think that Mr. Lin is not so stingy that he would be unhappy because you went to the exhibition hall with others."

Come on,

Shen Tong thought, is Gu Yu turning the corner and saying that Lin Chongshan is stingy, or is he saying that Lin Chongshan is stingy?

It's not because Lin Chongshan is stingy because the 'other' he hangs out with is Gu Yu.

But seeing that the guests were all going to the next hall, Shen Tong didn't really want to wait here.

He gave himself a second to think symbolically, and after a second he decided to go over with Gu Yu to have a look.

The two of them were walking towards the next hall, chatting with each other.

"Has Shen Tong ever liked anyone?"

Shen Tong: He and Lin Chongshan are already together, is it a bit ulterior motive to ask this question?

But he was still able to understand Gu Yu's question.

"I used to fall in love with Lin Chongshan at first sight," Shen Tong referred to the original owner, "through the media, I saw him when he participated in the interview."

"I didn't like it later. Now that I think about it, I can't remember how I liked it so much. It's like being possessed by a demon. I can't think of that kind of emotion at all."

Gu Yu added, "I didn't expect to end up falling in love with the same person for a long time?"

"It doesn't count."

Shen Tong pondered, "Actually, I always felt that the person I liked before was different from him now. I had never seen a real person at that time, and all my liking for him came from my imagination of his appearance."

"What do you think?" Shen Tong asked Gu Yu in turn, "Do you think I and I are really the same person?"

Gu Yu paused, but still shook his head honestly.

Sure enough, Shen Tong thought.

He also discovered this later.

What the original owner likes is not really Lin Chongshan, but just a perfect existence named Lin Chongshan, which he imagined.

In fact, if you think about it, anyone who has been secretly in love with someone for so many years through the Internet will have changed their feelings long ago.

It's just that the original owner is one of the more extreme types.

Shen Tong and Gu Yu chatted casually while strolling around the exhibition hall.

Many guests came across exhibits they liked more, and most of them were sold at prices higher than the listed prices.

Gu Yu asked him if he saw anything he liked.

Shen Tong originally wanted to shake his head, but when he shook his head halfway, he caught a glimpse of a painting out of the corner of his eye and stopped.

Gu Yu followed his gaze, and a carefully framed painting came into view.

"Like this?" he asked.

The two approached and saw the full view of the painting.

This is a classical painting in Western European style, and the overall tone is the most common dark brown in this type of painting.

A group of people in the painting are dancing a celebratory dance around a flower. The men and women among them are all wearing shabby dresses, but the face that should be portrayed most carefully is blurred. very clear.

In the center of the crowd, the huge pure white flower buds are the only bright color in the whole painting.

At first glance, the pure white flowers symbolize hope, but when you look closely, you can find that the roots of the buds have begun to rot and turn black, and the ominous black spreads from the rhizomes to the leaves, almost predicting the final outcome.

The name of the painting is Hope.

If it is said that Shen Tong's first glance was a painting that he liked a little, but after looking at it carefully, his love for this painting has directly increased several times.

He started to want to buy it.

But this painting

There is no clear price display in the lower right corner.

no price?

They asked the waiter, only to know that there was no clear price for this painting.

It turns out that the painting is different from other exhibits in the exhibition hall.

The other exhibits are clearly valuable items, either with a long history and well-known owners, or extremely precious and full of collection significance.

But this painting is different. The painting is a new work by a painter not long ago, and this painter is just a little-known little guy.

The host of the banquet still does not understand how the painting was delivered to the host.

But at that time, the owner also fell in love with this painting at first glance, but because he didn't know how to price it, he decided to put it directly, and let the fancy guests freely bid.

Perhaps it is because the location of the painting is too remote, or the implication is too uncomfortable, so it has been valued by a guest so far.

Shen Tong opened her mouth, intending to ask

"So the painting is free to bid?"

Ok?

When did he ever speak? ?

Shen Tong turned her head to look at Gu Yu and confirmed from the indescribable expression of the other party that it was not her who just spoke.

So

He turned his eyes and saw Xin Fan's innocent face without any surprise.

Is it possible that this person wants to buy it?

The waiter didn't care about the entanglement between the few people, he only cared about whether the painting could be sold.

Waiter: "Yes, you can bid freely."

"Then if someone bids too much, won't others be able to buy it?"

Everyone present couldn't help being silent for two seconds.

The waiter didn't know how to answer this.

Facing Xin Fan's expectant eyes, he couldn't blatantly contradict the guest. He always felt that the guest didn't know how to make a fuss if he heard a negative response.

Then his job is not guaranteed.

The Chinese language is extensive and profound, and different ways of asking the same question can express different attitudes.

Just like what Xin Fan asked, he was almost asking clearly, if he bought Shen Tong, he couldn't buy it?

Shen · Self-proclaimed fat intestines and good temper · Hitomi: Suddenly want to explode

How could someone be so miraculous that everything looks like what he least likes?

Could it be that he was stupid and didn't realize that what he was wearing was really an ancient gossip novel?

Should not be ah.

He couldn't help but rolled his eyes, breaking the silence in the room.

"The master should mean that those who are fancy are free to bid, and the one with the highest price will get it?"

The waiter nodded gratefully.

"Then I'll go first!" Xin Fan said eagerly, as if the first bidder would get a huge advantage, "I'll offer [-]!"

As usual, Shen Tong endured it.

Then he looked at the expressions of the people around him who were not much different from his, and decided that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he just rolled his eyes at Xin Fan again.

"50."

Waiter: "Is this gentleman still asking for prices?"

Xin Fan hesitated for a few seconds.

He followed up with the bid and said, "51."

"One hundred." Shen Tong's voice was crisp.

Xin Fan hesitated for a few seconds longer than before.

"One hundred and one thousand."

Everyone could hear his lack of confidence, which made people wonder whether he had so much savings.

However, there is no problem with any second- and third-tier traffic stars in the circle.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xin Fan caught sight of a figure approaching unhurriedly not far away, his expression changed instantly, and there was a smell of an innocent little white flower.

"One hundred twenty."

Shen Tong continued to raise the price, but the increase was smaller than before.

He actually felt that the painting was worth no matter how much it cost, but since it was Xin Fan who bid, he was not so eager to bid the price to death.

Xin Fan's voice became as if he had just cried, and he followed a few words tremblingly, "One hundred, 1201 million yuan."

"Mr. Shen," he continued, "I really like this painting, so I really want to buy it. Malicious competition is not good for both parties."

"Take it as a request from me. Since you don't like it, don't bid anymore, okay?"

Xin Fan tried his best to open his eyes wide, watery round eyes, with a trembling red at the end of his eyes, his voice trembling, as if he was being bullied to the bone.

It makes people wonder if tears will fall in the next second.

This is the first time Shen Tong began to doubt Xin Fan's identity today.

Isn't Xin Fan really the vicious female supporting role of the little abuse novel?

Look at the skill of changing face in an instant, and the lines full of blood, is it possible that you want to seize the opportunity to say such words, and then let the hero misunderstand?

Shen Tong then looked back.

——I actually saw Lin Chongshan who was standing beside him just now.

He took back the words 'hard to do' in what he said just now.

He must have transmigrated into a bloody abuse novel, the kind of novel where the male lead is framed by a supporting role, and then he is attacked by the male lead to abuse his body and heart, and finally he after going through the scenes of the runaway little wife.

This thought persisted until Lin Chongshan opened his mouth to speak.

Lin Chongshan: "Like this painting?"

"500."

"The bid has not exceeded 500 million, right? If there is, it will be [-]." He added.

Xin Fan's face paled visibly.

Well.

It seems that the plot has progressed to the point where the vicious female supporting role is seen through by the male lead, and it's time to get a lunch.

Shen Tong imagined what kind of reaction she should have as the male protagonist at this time to be considered normal.

So he bit his lip, lowered his long eyelashes to cover the clear water color in his eyes, and said sadly: "Don't talk about it."

"I already know."

"I won't bother you."
