Charity auctions, events beloved by the affluent seeking to enhance their reputation through generous spending. In this society, lacking wealth earns disdain, yet possessing it draws criticism for a variety of reasons. You can be labeled miserly if you hold onto your money or accused of making empty promises if you donate. Hence, the rich find it more advantageous to donate, enjoying a few benefits in return.
However, the charity auction hosted by the Liu family is not merely for the sake of reputation. With their own auction house, the Liu family presents genuine and valuable items, making the event more than just a show of generosity.
Many wealthy attendees have specific items in mind as they enter the hall guided by the waitstaff. This space, labeled a side hall, resembles another grand venue. The neatly arranged tables are laden with fruits, fermented beverages, and colorful numbered cards.
