At 8 PM, the charity auction gala began punctually.
In the hall, the originally bright lights gradually dimmed. Several spotlights shone upon the stage.
A smartly dressed emcee holding a microphone walked onto the stage, bowed at a 45-degree angle, and after clearing his throat, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, and welcome to the scene of the charity auction gala!"
"Now, let us start the first segment, the auction. All proceeds will be used as charity funds to aid African refugees living amidst the fires of war in Africa!"
"Please welcome our special guest, the antiques expert Ms. Ye Yuntong, to appraise the auctioned cultural relics and antiques!"
Under the spotlight, Ye Yuntong, dressed in a water-blue cheongsam, walked elegantly onto the stage with slender, delicate legs.
Instantly, the crowd below fell silent. Even the high society gentlemen and wealthy young masters could not help but be dazzled by her presence.
