HPDBC Chapter 145 A False Alarm
Chapter 145 A False Alarm
After learning the truth, Li Yi was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.
"Xiao Wu, you've misunderstood! Sister Song and I are actually good friends. It's just that some scumbag tried to take advantage of this auction to make a move on her, which is why Sister Wang rushed to bid against someone else."
"Huh? Who's so mean! And why is this place such a mess?"
Wu Xiyue then realized that something was wrong at the scene.
After scanning the area, her gaze quickly settled on Zhao Hongde.
After all, the other person's swollen cheeks were too conspicuous.
"Hey! You're the scumbag Brother Li was talking about, right?"
Zhao Hongde never expected that the young girl in front of him was the one who had just offered 100 million.
Moreover, the reason why the other party spent so much money to bid for it was actually for Li Yi in front of them.
She even went so far as to say that she wanted to film the scene multiple times.
That's an incredibly exaggerated claim!
Seeing Wu Xiyue staring at him with an unfriendly expression, Zhao Hongde retorted directly, "Damn it! Who do you think you are, daring to curse me like that..."
However, before he could finish speaking, an angry shout rang in his ears.
"You bastard! Zhao Hongde, how dare you speak to Miss Wu like that?"
Zhao Hongde did not know Wu Xiyue, but Zhang Yuanxun did.
He had just seen Wu Xiyue suddenly run over and chat enthusiastically with Li Yi, and he was still pondering the relationship between the two.
At this moment, upon hearing Zhao Hongde's rude remarks, he quickly came to his senses and shouted back.
Zhao Hongde was stunned by Zhang Yuanxun's scolding.
"District Chief Zhang, you....."
He was about to ask something, but Zhang Yuanxun was too lazy to pay attention to him at the moment, and instead greeted Wu Xiyue warmly.
"Ms. Wu, hello, thank you for your support tonight."
"Huh? You know me?"
As the richest man in Jiangcheng and a well-known philanthropist and entrepreneur, Gu Yun was naturally known to Zhang Yuanxun as his daughter.
"Miss Wu, my name is Zhang Yuanxun. I am the deputy district head of the West District of Jiangcheng. I met you once when I visited Ms. Gu at your home before."
"Oh, it's District Chief Zhang. Hello."
Because of her mother, many city leaders would often visit her home, but Wu Xiyue was not very interested in these people, so she did not remember a mere deputy district head.
After simply greeting the other person, she turned to Zhao Hongde and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, was the scumbag Brother Li mentioned you?"
"I......"
Even if Zhao Hongde was stupid, after seeing Zhang Yuanxun's attitude towards Wu Xiyue, he knew that the other party was definitely not someone important.
Even when they said they wanted to film several times, it wasn't just bragging.
This kind of person is definitely not someone I can afford to mess with.
His heart skipped a beat, and he stammered, "Miss Wu, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to donate more money and do some charity work."
Although Wu Xiyue had just graduated and didn't know much about business operations, she had often been exposed to and heard about the routine operations of some companies due to her family's large business.
"What donation? I think you're just trying to use this method to deduct the company's taxes, right? I bet scum like you has done this kind of thing a lot, and the company's taxes definitely have problems. You should have someone investigate it."
When Wu Xiyue directly revealed his thoughts, Zhao Hongde's expression changed drastically.
He knew his company's situation all too well.
If someone were to investigate, that would be a huge problem.
"Ms. Wu, I really just want to donate money... If you don't believe me, you can ask District Chief Zhang."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiyue looked at Zhang Yuanxun curiously, "Deputy District Chief Zhang, are you very familiar with this person?"
Zhang Yuanxun's face darkened, and he quickly shook his head. "Miss Wu, please don't misunderstand! Zhao Hongde's company just happens to be located in the West District. I don't know him at all."
"Oh, I see!"
Wu Xiyue nodded and continued, "District Chief Zhang, I now feel that this man surnamed Zhao has a big problem. Since his company happens to be within your jurisdiction, I would appreciate it if you could investigate him thoroughly."
"Miss Wu, don't worry, I'll have someone take care of it right away!"
Zhao Hongde had originally hoped that Zhang Yuanxun would put in a good word for him, but to his surprise, Zhang not only did not help him, but also kicked him when he was down.
"District Chief Zhang, it's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding... Miss Wu, please let me explain..."
Zhao Hongde no longer cared about Li Yi hitting him; he only hoped that Wu Xiyue wouldn't hold a grudge against him.
Unfortunately, Wu Xiyue didn't take Zhao Hongde seriously at all and was too lazy to listen to his rambling.
She only mentioned it briefly to Zhang Yuanxun before turning to Li Yi and saying, "Brother Li, my mom is here today too. Why don't you go over and say hello to her, and maybe introduce her to some of your friends?"
The people around Gu Yun must all be either rich or noble.
Wu Xiyue clearly wanted to show her face and introduce some connections.
However, in Li Yi's mind, all connections and relationships were meaningless. Instead of currying favor everywhere, he would rather work hard to improve his own strength.
He simply shook his head. "Forget it, there are too many people today, so I won't bother her. I'll go find Sister Song later and ask her to tell the organizers to cancel the auction so you don't waste your money."
Seeing that Li Yi wasn't interested in making connections, Wu Xiyue didn't take it to heart. "Oh, it's okay. Anyway, my mom is planning to donate tonight. It's only 100 million. I'm actually saving her money."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi was speechless.
However, if the other party is really willing to spend 100 million, it would definitely be a good thing for Song Yaqing.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Sister Song."
"Brother Li, you're my savior, don't be so polite with me. By the way, why don't we go find Sister Song now? I'd like to get to know her."
At this point in the banquet, Li Yi had no intention of staying any longer. "That's fine too."
So the three of them got up and left the venue.
As for Zhao Hongde, who was pleading desperately behind him, he was treated like a pitiful stray dog, and no one paid him any attention.
......
Next to the banquet hall, there was a lounge, which was originally prepared for the celebrities who would be attending that night.
However, after their performances, most of the celebrities stayed in the venue.
At this moment, in the empty lounge, only one lonely figure sat there.
The next moment, another figure rushed in.
"Sister Song, something terrible has happened! Someone outside has offered 100 million yuan to auction off your dinner!"
"What? One hundred million?"
Song Yaqing's expression changed upon hearing the price.
After all, someone who can afford to spend that much money is definitely not an ordinary person.
Moreover, how could the other party be willing to pay such a high price just to have a meal with me?
Although Lou Manzhu hadn't been in the industry long, she wasn't stupid and naturally understood the same principle. "Sister Song, what do we do now? You can't really go and accompany someone..."
Song Yaqing snorted coldly, "Hmph! No matter who took the picture, I won't go!"
Although Lou Manzhu had already taken off her pants twice in front of Li Yi.
But that was only for medical treatment.
In fact, she also valued a woman's innocence very much.
Seeing that Song Yaqing had made her decision, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! Sister Song, I'll go with you later. No matter which shameless person tries to take advantage of you, I won't let him succeed!"
