Chapter 301 Charity Auction (2)
Chapter 301 Charity Auction (2)
Ling Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he showed a gentleman's smile.
"So you're the new chairman of Haoting Group. My apologies.
This charity auction brings together many items from all over the world, and I hope Chairman Xue will gain something from it."
Xue Pianpian responded with a polite smile,
"Mr. Ling, you're welcome. It's my honor to be able to participate in such a meaningful event."
At this time, a gorgeously dressed woman walked up to Ling Yu and looked at Xue Pianpian with a provocative look.
"Brother, who is this?"
Ling Yu hurriedly introduced,
"Mr. Xue, this is my sister Ling Weiwei. Weiwei, this is Chairman Xue of Haoting."
"Oh, you've become the chairman at such a young age?"
Ling Weiwei snorted lightly and said in a sarcastic tone,
"I don't know how this chairman got the title. Could it be that he earned it with his beauty?"
Xue Pianpian's lips curled up slightly, and she replied neither servilely nor arrogantly:
"Ms. Ling, it's really surprising to hear such superficial and unfounded speculation coming from a lady from an aristocratic family like you!"
Xue Pianpian's voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was powerful.
Ling Weiwei's face turned ugly instantly. Just as she was about to retort, Ling Yu quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Weiwei, please don't be rude. Director Xue is so young to be in charge of the mansion, so he must have some extraordinary qualities."
Xue Pianpian smiled politely, ignored Ling Weiwei, and turned to Ling Yu and said:
"Mr. Ling, as the host of tonight's auction, you must be busy, right? We won't bother you any more. Please do as you please."
Ling Yu smiled and nodded.
"Then Director Xue and President Ye, please feel free to visit us first. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
After saying that, he hurried off to deal with his business.
Seeing her brother leave, Ling Weiwei approached Xue Pianpian again, her eyes full of disdain.
"Don't think you can cover up anything with a few nice words. I want to see what good things you can sell at this auction."
Xue Pianpian is still calm and composed,
"Ms. Ling, an auction is about strength and vision, not verbal battles. If you're interested, let's look forward to it together!"
After saying that, Xue Pianpian ignored Ling Weiwei and prepared to find a place to sit down with Ye Fengning. Just after taking two steps, two women came towards them, one of whom was a familiar face.
As soon as Zhao Manman saw Xue Pianpian, she immediately remembered the bullying and humiliation she had suffered at the Feiran Guanlan Sales Office that morning.
If possible, what she wanted to do most now was to go up and slap Xue Pianpian twice.
But she could only think about it in her heart. Not to mention Xue Pianpian's skills, she and her bodyguards had already experienced it. Even if she could beat her, she would not dare to make a fuss in such an occasion!
The only reason she was able to come in tonight was because she begged for it humbly.
In the past, her uncle Zhao Zhengxiong would always bring her along to such occasions. Since her uncle had no daughter, he doted on her and almost always granted her requests.
But today, for some reason, her uncle didn’t even have an invitation, which made her very depressed!
In desperation, she could only ask her classmate Ji Yingying to take her in. Although it was indeed a waste of a lot of words, she finally got in. So she really didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
Zhao Manman stared at Xue Pianpian not far away with a sinister look.
"Am I just going to let this go? No, I can't swallow this!"
Zhao Manman bit her lips and clenched the hem of her skirt so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Ji Yingying beside her.
Ji Yingying is her classmate and the granddaughter of the former chairman of the Ling Group. She has a simple personality and a strong sense of justice. She hates people who bully the weak the most.
In just a moment, a relatively safe plan formed in Zhao Manman's mind.
She quickly adjusted her emotions, forced tears to well up in her eyes, and pointed at Xue Pianpian and said:
"Yingying, did you see that woman in the blue evening dress? It was her. This morning, she not only beat me, but also my bodyguard. She even claimed that no one in Kyoto could compare to her."
Ji Yingying widened her eyes in surprise:
"What do you mean? Tell me the details."
Zhao Manman pretended to be aggrieved and recounted the incident of being bullied by Xue Pianpian in the sales office that morning, adding fuel to the fire. She also deliberately exaggerated the matter and said how arrogant and domineering Xue Pianpian was and didn't take people like them seriously.
Ji Yingying was so angry that her face turned red:
"How can there be such a person? This is too much! Manman, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Manman was secretly delighted to see Ji Yingying took the bait, and pretended to be helpless and said:
"I also want to teach her a lesson, but I really don't have the ability. Yingying, you are kind-hearted and innocent. Xue Pianpian will definitely not be on guard against you. Can you give me some advice or vent my anger in front of her?"
Ji Yingying patted her chest and said confidently:
"No problem, Manman. I hate people who bully others. I'll find a chance to avenge you later."
Zhao Manman was delighted, but on the surface she pretended to be worried:
"Yingying, please don't tell me that I asked you to do this, otherwise she will definitely take revenge on me."
Ji Yingying nodded:
"Don't worry, I won't tell you."
Seeing the two of them, Xue Pianpian did not have any obvious reaction, but continued to walk towards their seats in the front row with Ye Fengning.
Ji Yingying took a deep breath and walked towards Xue Pianpian with a heroic and confident look.
Zhao Manman followed her closely, expecting Ji Yingying to give Xue Pianpian a warning.
Ji Yingying walked to Xue Pianpian, cleared her throat, and said:
"Miss, I think you should be more low-key. Don't think you can bully others just because you have some ability."
Xue Pianpian was slightly stunned, and looked at Ji Yingying thoughtfully, with a hint of doubt in her eyes:
"Who are you? When did I bully others?"
Ji Yingying's face darkened, and she said confidently:
"You bullied my friend at the sales office this morning. Do you think you're so great by doing this?"
Xue Pianpian suddenly realized what was going on. She looked at Ji Yingying, then at Zhao Manman, who was standing next to her with evasive eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Who was it, Miss Zhao? Is this the helper you found?"
Xue Pianpian said slowly,
"I just did what I was supposed to do this morning, but I don't deserve to be bullied.
As for you, beautiful girl, it's good to stand up for justice and have a sense of justice, but if you act without thinking and accidentally let others use you as a tool, then it would be a disgrace to your original intention."
Ji Yingying was stunned by what Xue Pianpian said, but she immediately came to her senses and pointed at Xue Pianpian angrily and said:
"You...you actually dared to say that I'm brainless. Who gave you the guts? Do you know who I am?"
Xue Pianpian smiled faintly and said jokingly:
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to tell fortunes, so before you introduce yourself, I can't predict who you are."
Ye Fengning burst out laughing and gave Xue Pianpian a thumbs up with admiration in her eyes.
Ji Yingying was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She glared at her angrily and said to Xue Pianpian:
“Let me tell you, I am the granddaughter of the chairman of the Ling Group.
Did you see that? This charity auction tonight is hosted by our Ling Group.
I am a magnanimous lady and will not bother with you today. Now, you should apologize to Manman quickly and promise not to bully her in the future. I promise to let bygones be bygones and let you attend the auction with peace of mind.
Otherwise, I will have to ask security to ask you to leave."
Xue Pianpian really didn't want to talk too much to this brainless person, so she looked at Ye Fengning, chuckled and whispered:
"Boss Ye, do you think we need to consider other people's expressions?"
Ye Fengning smiled and cooperated:
"Of course not. Our consistent principle is not to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble."
Seeing that the two dared to be so arrogant in front of her, Ji Yingying's anger burned even more.
"Can you two stop whispering? Can't you see I'm talking to you? Answer my question quickly:
"Can you apologize to Yingying sincerely?"
Xue Pianpian replied indifferently:
"No, I don't have the time, and I'm not interested. Little beauty, listen to me. If you have too much free time, I suggest you buy an educational book and read it. You'll realize how cute you are!"
After saying that, she pulled Ye Fengning and walked to her seat in the front row and sat down.
