Card Room - 298. Chapter 431-432

【Chapter 431, Charity Dinner】

Tang Ci quickly found the time and place of the charity dinner and the list of people invited to attend.

This dinner was a charity dinner hosted by Xiao Rou in her own name. The guests invited were all well-known local wealthy businessmen. There were not many government officials, and her husband, Prince Herman, would not attend. But she is now the princess, and the security work at the dinner party must be very strict. The Azure Empire also has a royal guard, and it is not so easy to get close to the princess.

Xiao Lou worried and said: “Even if Mr. Shao wants to give a sapphire necklace, he has to find a middleman to introduce him? Otherwise, the princess would not be able to rush to meet an unfamiliar businessman.”

This is not a problem for Shao Qingge. He thought about it carefully, remembered a name in his mind, and said: “My company has a long-term cooperation with a pharmaceutical company here, and their boss is Kevin Roman. ”

Tang Ci scanned the list of people invited to the charity dinner and said: “Kevin Roman is also going to attend this dinner. Mr. Shao can give it a try and ask him to recommend him.”

Shao Qingge said: “It should be okay. In my memory, I have worked with him for many years. I am an old friend. I will contact him early tomorrow morning.”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “We want to get involved in the dinner. There are two other ways. One is to impersonate the security personnel of the charity dinner, and the other is to replace a wealthy businessman attending the dinner.”

Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: “I can pretend to be a guard at Xiaolou’s birthday party because I am the captain of the guard. I know the detailed arrangements of the guard and the people under my opponent know enough. But now, we are in Azure Empire, we don’t know any of the guards responsible for protecting the princess in this country, let alone their habits. If you pretend to be a “mask”, you might be seen through at a glance.”

The guards of each country have different rules. Yu Hanjiang doesn’t know the country at all. If he pretends to be the guard of the princess, he may be self-defeating.

Lu Jiuchuan stroked his chin: “In this way, it is easier to pretend to be a rich businessman?”

“Yeah.” Yu Hanjiang stepped forward and looked at the list found by Tang Ci: “We have to find a rich man who doesn’t have close family members around him and who doesn’t meet the princess often enough to pretend to be, so that it won’t be easy to expose.”

After Tang Ci was screened, he suddenly said: “Coincidentally, there happens to be a person living in the Ferris Wheel Hotel.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Just choose him, I will impersonate him when that happens.”

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said, “We can’t all 6 people go to the banquet, it’s better to have someone stay behind.”

All gone, if the whole army is annihilated, it is really impossible to escape.

Tang Ci said: “I will stay.”

Lu Jiuchuan was worried about Tang Ci alone, and said decisively: “I will stay with you. Before the dinner begins, we will have a peach blossom field in the hotel. When the situation is wrong, we will send everyone directly.” He looked at his brother, “Han Jiang , You take Xiaolou and go with you, and protect Your Highness.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “I know.”

Xiao Lou suggested: “Why, let’s control the rich man in the Ferris Wheel Hotel first. Han Jiang will pretend to be him, and I will pretend to be the rich man’s assistant and enter the dinner party together. Mr. Shao and Ye Qi will visit the princess first. I will meet her again when the time comes.”

Everyone has no objection to this decision.

The next morning, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi changed their clothes and set off to visit Mr. Kevin Roman.

Shao Qingge and Kevin have worked together for many years. In my memory, he meets this person every year and is a good business partner. Hearing that Shao Qingge and his son were traveling on the blue planet, Kevin was very enthusiastic to entertain them in a private manor.

The man has blond hair and blue eyes like a deep ocean, handsome in appearance. He wore a white shirt, sat lazily on the sofa, jokingly: “Mr. Shao, it’s rare to see you come out with your son.”

Shao Qingge chuckled and said, “When a child grows up, he will always take it out and see him in the world.”

Listening to the tone of Shao Qingge’s “old father”, Ye Qi was agitated. After meeting the gaze of the blond man, he had no choice but to ask obediently, “Hello, uncle.”

Kevin nodded at him and looked at Shao Qingge: “I’m just taking my son on a trip this time?”

Shao Qingge said bluntly: “Actually, I want to take the opportunity to visit the princess. As you know, the princess is the princess of our Loco Empire. After marrying Prince Herman many years ago, he rarely returned to China. My father has some connections with the princess. Some time ago, I got a very precious sapphire necklace by chance. I heard that the princess likes all kinds of jewelry, and I want to give this necklace to her.”

Kevin was startled slightly: “The princess is noble, what jewellery hasn’t you seen? The necklace you said is so magical?”

Shao Qingge took out the necklace and gave him a look.

The heart-shaped natural sapphire is surrounded by a circle of broken diamonds, shining brightly under the light.

Sapphire is a rare jewellery in this world, not to mention such a large, natural heart-shaped sapphire, the color is extremely pure, it is indeed rare to see.

Shao Qingge closed the jewelry box and smiled and said, “You and the princess should be familiar with each other. Can you recommend me? I really want to visit the princess of our empire.”

Kevin agreed happily: “Well, I’ll help you contact.”

Shao Qingge said: “I heard that there will be a charity dinner tomorrow night. Why don’t you take me to see you?”

Kevin hesitated and said, “Tomorrow’s dinner will be hosted by the princess privately. People who don’t have invitations can’t go in. Now the palace is no longer issuing invitations… Why don’t you just follow me in. , I will find another opportunity to introduce you to the princess?”

Of course Shao Qingge couldn’t ask for it, and raised the goblet on the table: “Thank you.”

The two drank a glass of red wine, and Kevin called the chef to serve.

The business cooperation between the Shao family and the Roman family began in his father’s generation and lasted for more than 30 years. Shao Qingge wanted to ask if he knew about the “Noah’s Ark Project”, but in case Kevin was an insider, so Inquiring is likely to be a horror. He had to resist the urge to listen to the news for a while and chatted with Kevin about some recent cooperation projects.

After dinner, Shao Qingge returned to the hotel with Ye Qi.

He took out the [Wealthy and Willful] card and copied a [Sapphire Necklace].

This necklace is invaluable, no matter whether it is given away or auctioned off, it is a pity that this is a consumable card, once it is given out, it will be gone. Copy one and keep it at the bottom, maybe you can use it in the future.

Then, he copied another Lu Jiuchuan’s [Mask] card.

This card has the same effect as Liu Qiao’s [Twin], except that Liu Qiao’s [Twin] can transform into any creatures you have seen within one and a half hours, including humans, plants, and animals; while [Mask] can only make Turning into any human appearance is equivalent to squeezing your face while playing a game, and your appearance can be changed arbitrarily.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lou asked Ye Qi to take out the bug and hand it to Tang Ci, and said, “Mr. Tang, can this bug be attached to a sapphire necklace?”

Tang Ci took Shao Qingge’s sapphire necklace and observed it carefully for a moment, then stuffed the earphone into the middle of a few broken diamonds at the back of the gemstone necklace, and blocked the microphone with diamonds, which is not visible from the surface. There is a problem with the necklace.

After making these preparations, Tang Ci invaded the Ferris Wheel Hotel’s system that night and disrupted the monitoring on the top floor. Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan pretended to be waiters and knocked on the door of VIP-11 Room of the Ferris Wheel Hotel.

Regal Zhou Sheng, who had just taken a shower, looked at Maoyan and said, “The waiter? I didn’t call the service, right?”

Wearing a black vest and bow tie, Yu Hanjiang said respectfully: “Sir, this is a gift from the hotel to the VIP suite guests, a fruit platter and a bottle of red wine. I wish you a pleasant stay in the hotel. ”

When I checked in before, the hotel often gave gifts, and Zhou Sheng opened the door without any doubt.

Yu Hanjiang pushed the food into the room. The moment he turned around, his left hand suddenly lifted, aiming at the back of Zhou Sheng’s neck and it was a sharp hand knife!

Before the man could react, he was stunned by a hand knife.

Lu Jiuchuan gave his younger brother a thumbs up, quickly walked into the house, tied Zhou Sheng’s five flowers, Yu Hanjiang dressed up as Zhou Sheng with a “Mask” card, unlocked the communication device and optical brain with his fingerprints, and found the assistant And sent a message to the assistant: “You won’t use it tomorrow. I’ll give you three days off.”

The assistant said in a puzzled manner: “Mr. Zhou? Don’t you need to accompany you to the dinner party?”

Yu Hanjiang quickly typed: “No, I have my own arrangements.”

The assistant had no choice but to say: “Understood.”

Yu Hanjiang winked at Lu Jiuchuan. Lu Jiuchuan picked up Mr. Zhou and carried him back to his residence. He threw it into a room and tied him up. He touched his chin and said, “It’s getting easier for us to do bad things. It’s just a matter of kidnapping a person. 5 minutes.”

Tang Ci blocked the hotel’s surveillance, and Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan joined forces to kidnap the people, unconsciously, and more professional than the kidnappers.

Xiao Lou was helpless: “This is also a last resort, Brother Nine, you are optimistic about this President Zhou.”

Yu Hanjiang showed the assistant’s photo to Xiao Lou: “Tomorrow you will be an assistant and we will go to the charity dinner together.”

Xiao Lou nodded, and took another [Mask] card copied by Shao Qingge.

After 24 o’clock, the card skills are refreshed.

Xiao Lou and Ye Qi are connected to each other, and the other one is connected, allowing Shao Qingge and Lu Jiuchuan to establish a connection. In the event of an accident at the scene, everyone can evacuate at any time.

After all the preparations were done, everyone slept for a while and regained their energy.

In the evening of the next day, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi set off to meet Kevin, while Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou pretended to be wealthy businessmen and assistants to the Royal Double Sail Hotel where Xiao Rou hosted a charity dinner.

This hotel is a seven-star hotel dedicated to the royal family, and it looks like a sailing ship.

The royal guard encircled the entire hotel in an impenetrable manner, and Prince Hermann obviously attached great importance to the safety of the princess.

At 6 o’clock in the evening, the guests had entered the hotel in twos and threes. Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou walked to the door one after another and showed the invitation letter searched from Zhou Zong. After the other party checked the invitation letter and identity information, they let them go. Enter the scene.

The long red carpet stretches to the entrance of the banquet hall.

The guests attending the dinner were all dressed up, especially the girls, each with exquisite makeup, holding a beautiful dinner bag, and evening dresses of various colors like a hundred flowers.

Today there are a lot of female guests. Many of them are the princess’s boudoir friends, and some rich ladies who were invited to attend. After all, the theme of the charity dinner is auctioning jewelry. Girls are more interested in jewelry than men.

The boss dressed as Yu Hanjiang and the assistant dressed as Xiao Lou both wore suits and looked unremarkable.

After the two entered the hall, they found a corner to minimize their presence.

Soon, they saw Mr. Shao and Ye Qi coming in with Kevin.

Ye Qi wore a white suit, which Shao Qingge bought him temporarily for emergency. He is short in stature and has a baby face. He doesn’t appear mature in a suit, but he feels full of youth. Especially when compared with a group of bald and big-bellied middle-aged local tyrants, it was a clear stream at the banquet scene.

Many girls cast curious gazes at Ye Qi. Ye Qi’s ears were red when he was seen, and he followed Shao Qingge like an obedient little follower. Shao Qingge is familiar with such occasions. Under Kevin’s introduction, he quickly met a few wealthy local businessmen and greeted these people with a smile.

At seven o’clock in the evening, the banquet officially began.

Xiao Rou came from the end of the red carpet.

A few maids and guards followed her, a woman in her thirties with fair and delicate skin, delicate features, her hair turned into an elegant bun, and she wore a light gold mermaid dress to set off her graceful appearance. The figure, wearing a few pieces of jewelry, the whole person is full of grace and luxury.

Xiao Lou stared at her blankly, and some messy pictures flashed in his mind.

He suddenly remembered that his mother seemed to be like this?

The elder sister looks a lot like the mother and concubine who has passed away.

Everyone around was leaning over to salute, Xiao Lou hurriedly lowered his head and buried his face in the crowd.

He used a mask to make a disguise, not to mention his sister married when he was 5 years old, it is impossible to recognize him. The woman in front of him was too far from the girl he had married in his memory. If he met on the road, he would not necessarily recognize her.

It is strange that the moment he saw this woman, he suddenly felt an inexplicable intimacy in his heart.

It seems that they have known each other for a long time and were once very close family members.

***

【Chapter 432, Charity Dinner】

The charity dinner started soon.

Xiao Rou picked up the microphone and said with a smile: “Thank you very much for your participation in the charity dinner tonight. Over the years, the charity foundation I established has helped tens of thousands of homeless orphans. This is not My contribution alone is the result of everyone’s hard work together. I am very happy to see that everyone can retain this kindness to help others.”

“Tonight, I took out some jewellery for public auction. All the money from the auction will be donated to poor areas to build free schools. I always believe that children are the future of the empire. We should treat these children kindly and do our best. To help them grow…”

The princess has persisted in doing charity these years and has helped many orphans who have lost their parents. She has always been well received by the people, and her brief speech also ushered in warm applause from all the guests.

The auction officially begins.

The jewelry that the princess took out personally, not to mention good or bad, is enough to double the value of the jewelry. The on-site bidding at the auction continues to rise, and an ordinary ruby bracelet even sold for a high price of 30 million stars. .

Of course, since the princess promised that all the money obtained from the auction would be donated to school, the people who bid high can be regarded as indirect contributions to charity. Such a good opportunity for performance, many wealthy businessmen will naturally not let it go.

It lasted until eight o’clock in the evening, and only the last diamond necklace was left for auction.

The auctioneer smiled and said: “The diamond necklace starts at 8 million stars.”

There were constant bids around, and the price quickly broke through tens of millions.

“10 million!”

“1500 dollars!”

“20000000!”

The bidding cards one after another, when the bidding reaches 30 million, the number of bidders is obviously reduced.

After all, the value of this necklace itself is far from that high. Charity also has to do what you can. The money of the rich is not scratched from the sky. Donate tens of millions at will, always consider it.

Auctioneer: “30 million one time, 30 million…”

Shao Qingge smiled and raised the auction board.

The auctioneer was stunned, and said excitedly: “This gentleman bid-50 million!”

The guests at the scene looked back at him in shock.

The man holding the bid sign is slender and handsome. His chestnut hair is simply tied with a ponytail behind his head. This hairstyle sets off his face without making him look like an idiot. On the contrary, it makes him show a touch of romance. With an unruly temperament, he squinted his eyes, a smile that was not a smile, and that smile was particularly appealing.

Many young ladies at the scene blushed, their hearts throbbed, and they whispered: “Who is this person? He looks so handsome.” “I haven’t seen…” “The princess held a charity dinner before, and he seems to have never come. Ever?” “He was brought by Kevin, so rich!”

Mr. Shao, who is rich, spends money very willful.

It was painful for Ye Qi to see him picking up 50 million auction cards casually.

Of course, the deposit in Mr. Shao’s account is far more than this. In order to get close to Princess Xiao Rou, he took a diamond necklace at a high price. Anyway, as long as Mr. Shao goes out, he always has to spend some money-Mr. Shao, the prodigal, puts a skill of 5 million, just like he put the skill ten times.

The auctioneer gave Shang Shao Qingge with smiling eyes, and immediately said: “50 million once, 50 million twice, 50 million three times-a deal! Thank you for your support to the charity foundation!”

There was enthusiastic applause at the scene, and many people were wondering-who is the handsome and rich strange man?

After the auction, there was a buffet dinner. Kevin took Shao Qingge and took the initiative to find the princess in the living room.

The princess smiled and said: “This gentleman does not seem to have seen it?”

Kevin introduced graciously: “Wang Hao, this is Shao Qingge, the boss of Noah Medical Technology Company of Roco Empire. This is President Shao’s son, Shao Yeqi. Their father and son are visiting the Azure Empire this time and want to visit. You, I took the initiative to bring them to the charity dinner, won’t the princess be angry?”

When Xiao Rou heard “Noah Medical Technology”, her fingers on her side suddenly clenched, but quickly released.

The expression on her face did not change, she still maintained a smile. After listening to Kevin’s introduction, she stretched out her hand and said: “It turned out to be Mr. Shao, thank you for taking the diamond necklace at a high price and supporting our charity foundation.”

Shao Qingge shook hands with the princess politely: “You are polite, I heard of you when I was very young, but unfortunately, after the princess got married twenty years ago, I never had the opportunity to meet you. I can see you today. ,it’s my honour.”

He took out the prepared sapphire necklace jewelry box and handed it to Xiao Rou: “I heard that the princess likes all kinds of jewellery. Recently, I happened to collect a sapphire necklace as a meeting gift. I hope the princess likes it.”

When Xiao Rou saw him open the jewelry box, the necklace lying on the black flannel was extremely exquisite. The pure natural sapphire was the most beautiful one in her life. Xiao Rou’s eyes flashed astonishment: “This meeting gift, President Shao, It’s too expensive.”

Shao Qingge’s voice is gentle: “Luxury jewelry, only with outstanding temperament, can be considered to complement each other.”

Ye Qi: “…”

Mr. Shao’s rainbow fart skills are already full, and this flattery comes right away.

I don’t know if the influence of the increased affection level played a role. After Xiao Rou received the jewelry, her eyes became softer. She looked at Kevin and said, “Mr. Chat.”

Kevin withdrew wisely.

Xiao Rou then looked at Shao Qingge and asked, “President Shao, my father… is he okay?”

Shao Qingge said: “Your Majesty is in good health and spirit.”

She was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, “Where is my brother Xiaolou? I heard that the father and king gave him a birthday banquet a few days ago. As my sister, I cannot go to congratulate myself because of the long journey.”

Shao Qingge said: “His Royal Highness is very good. I also attended his birthday banquet. By the way, I happen to have a video of the birthday banquet here. I wonder if the prince is not interested?”

A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Rou’s eyes, but she quickly calmed down: “Let me see.”

Shao Qingge opened the video recording in the communication device.

In fact, this is a footage recorded by Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou using drones at the time. It is not Xiao Lou himself that appears in the screen, but the “Xiao Lou” at the birthday party. Whether he is the true prince or not, everyone is still uncertain.

In the picture, “Xiao Lou” held his fiancee Lin Yan’s hand and greeted the guests politely. The young man in a royal dress looked handsome and personable.

However, Xiao Rou’s face suddenly became difficult to look after seeing the young man in the picture.

Her hands were shaking slightly, forcibly controlling her emotions. Ye Qi watched her movements carefully, and when she saw it, she said to Xiao Lou with a heart and soul: “The princess watched the video and reacted a little strangely.”

Xiao Lou said: “Look at her attitude again.”

Shao Qingge looked at her pale face and said in a puzzled manner: “Princess?”

Xiao Rou returned to her senses, adjusted her expression quickly, and smiled: “My brother and I haven’t seen each other for many years. I didn’t expect him to be so old. I almost couldn’t recognize him… Mr. Shao laughed.”

Shao Qingge said: “I can understand.” He paused, pretending to suggest kindly: “If the princess misses the prince, why not go back and see him? I think, your highness also misses you very much.”

Xiao Rou shook her hands and stood up and said, “Mr. Shao, I am unwell. I will go back to the palace first.”

Ye Qi asked attentively: “Professor Xiao, she is leaving, I think she seems to be stimulated.”

Xiao Lou said: “Let Mr. Shao give her things.”

Ye Qi gently stab Shao Qingge’s waist, Shao Qingge knows, took out an earphone and stuffed it in the jewelry box, put it in Xiao Rou’s ear, and said in a low voice: “Princess, make sure no one is monitoring your situation. Down, press the bump on the headset.”

Xiao Rou looked around, put the earphones in her ears, and pressed the buttons.

Then, she heard a clear and soft voice in her ear: “Sister, this is Xiao Lou, I want to see you.”
