Half an hour later, the host finally announced the details of each charity donation.
"Now it's time for the highly anticipated opening dance performance. As usual, tonight's opening dance will be conducted in the form of an auction, and the proceeds will be donated to the Congenital Heart Disease Children's Foundation," the host smiled sweetly. "This year, we will randomly select five artists to participate in the auction."
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, He Yajing stood up and interrupted the host's words. "I think everyone knows that Shen Xinrou became an international goodwill ambassador a few days ago. She is the first artist in our country to become an international goodwill ambassador. First of all, let's congratulate her!"
People in the entertainment industry are all shrewd, even if they are very dissatisfied with He Yajing's behavior, they will not show it.
Not only will they not show it, they will also cooperate very well.
Neat and loud applause broke out, and Shen Xinrou hooked her mouth and smiled lightly.
"Our goodwill ambassador is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also dances very well. Do you want to see her style?" He Yajing was very flattering.
The people in the audience had different thoughts, but they did not expose it and cooperated with her performance without any expression.
"How about we cancel the random selection and directly auction for Xinrou?" He Yajing suggested.
Shen Xinrou quietly tugged at He Yajing's skirt and whispered, "Yajing, don't do this."
The camera turned to Shen Xinrou, and her surprised and embarrassed expression was displayed on the big screen.
Xingkong smiled and said, "See, no matter when, Shen Xinrou always finds a way to make herself the center of attention."
He Yajing smiled sweetly at Shen Xinrou, took the microphone from the host's hand, and said to the people below, "Although this may seem a bit disruptive, our goal is all for charity, isn't it?"
What a great goal for charity, not for exposure.
He Yajing's words silenced all opposition.
Even those who didn't want to agree had to agree.
"Since no one objects, then it's settled. Thank you all on behalf of Xinrou." He Yajing finished speaking and smiled sweetly again.
"I feel... it's a bit strange." Qin Zhenzhen was confused by He Yajing's actions. "Can it be done like this?"
"This woman is so stupid. She thinks that pleasing Shen Xinrou is enough? Little does she know, she has offended even more people." Huo Mingzhu said with a serious face.
"Ah? What do you mean?" Qin Zhenzhen was still confused.
Xingkong smiled and said, "When artists participate in this kind of charity banquet, donations are secondary, and popularity is the most important. The opening dance is the highlight, and although only one person can win the bid, the bidding process is the best exposure opportunity."
"He Yajing's actions have cut off the exposure of five people at once. Only the top-notch stars have the qualifications to bid for the opening dance. Although it seems that everyone is in harmony and there is no objection, they will be extremely jealous when they meet again in the future." Huo Mingzhu continued to explain what Xingkong had said.
The host said it was a random draw, but everyone knew that these five spots had already been predetermined.
Qin Zhenzhen thought about it and understood what was going on.
"He Yajing is digging a pit for Shen Xinrou," Xingkong chuckled and shook her head. "But Shen Xinrou may not be unaware. Today, she used He Yajing to steal the limelight. Soon, she will use He Yajing as a sacrifice to appease the anger of those five people."
Huo Mingzhu glanced at Xingkong, not knowing what she was thinking, and her expression was not good.
"Fourth Brother, you should also bid!" Suddenly, she turned her head and said to Huo Siye.
Huo Siye's mind was not on the charity banquet. Every year, Junsheng Group would donate in the name of the group, and he would also donate in the name of his mother.
This charity banquet was not very meaningful to him.
He came only because the little girl beside him wanted to come.
"Fourth Brother? Fourth Brother, what are you doing? Are you not listening to me?" Huo Mingzhu called out several times, but Huo Siye did not respond, and she pouted unhappily.
Xingkong moved the hand that he had been holding, and Huo Siye finally came back to his senses. His eyes cleared up a bit, and he leaned over to her ear and asked, "Hmm?"
Xingkong pointed to Huo Mingzhu.
Huo Siye finally looked over, and his gaze was cold and indifferent again. "What's the matter?"
Huo Mingzhu...the difference in treatment was too obvious!
"She wants to bid for the opening dance with Shen Xinrou together with Qiao Yunxing," Xingkong said with a mischievous smile.
Huo Siye furrowed his eyebrows, "Do you know what I was thinking just now?"
"What were you thinking?"
"I was thinking about your relationship with Qiao Yunxing."
Xingkong became nervous, "We don't have a relationship."
"Is that so? But the information that Bai Ning gave me tells me otherwise."
Xingkong became even more nervous, "No, it's not like that."
"I'm angry now, so I'll give you a chance to think about how to make it up to me."
Xingkong remained silent.
Huo Mingzhu was angry, "Why not?"
"I don't like to dance with strangers."
"She's my aunt's niece, although you haven't met her, she's not a stranger."
Huo Siye raised his eyebrows and played with his wine glass, "I only dance with my woman."
Huo Mingzhu became even angrier!
When he said this, his deep eyes were fixed on Xingkong, who felt her heart racing and her ears burning.
When He Yajing suddenly went on stage, the host was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
Just as she was about to say something, someone handed a note to the host.
After reading it, the host walked over to He Yajing and calmly said, "Since this is an auction, it can't just be one person. Why don't we have a live competition..."
"Of course it can't be just one person." He Yajing interrupted the host and continued, "Xinkong, the younger sister of Xinrou, has always looked up to her sister as a role model. I heard that she also learned to dance. She rarely comes to events like this, so why not give her a chance?"
The wording is quite delicate.
What does it mean to always take her as a role model?
Translated, isn't it to learn from her in every aspect?
The host was initially annoyed by He Yajing's continuous interruptions, but when she heard that He Yajing wanted to invite someone whose name matched the one on her note, she stopped.
Qin Zhenzhen's face turned cold. "Isn't she just trying to stir up trouble? Do you know how to dance, Xingkong?"
Xingkong shook her head. "I learned before I was eight, but then..."
After Liang Xinying's unexpected death and Dong Ruzhu becoming Mrs. Shen, there was no more "then."
"But if she wants to embarrass me, then I'll make her pay."
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhenzhen asked curiously, but with a hopeful expression.
