Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

As they spoke, the first auction item had already been taken by Aston Martin's Huaxia District president, Guo Cheng.

Aston Martin, which was the object of Qi Hao's desire.

Of course, Qi Hao coveted the limited edition sports car.

Everything is ready now.

Driver, license, just waiting for Tongzi to reward a One-77.

Worldwide limited to 77 units!

Tongzi, hurry up, or we won't be able to buy one.

The second auction item is Cartier's Dragon's Kiss, a magnificent and dazzling jewelry necklace.

Qi Hao glanced around.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but at least a dozen female celebrities were staring at him, making him feel a bit on edge; he didn't dare to raise his paddle.

Being watched by so many people, anyone would feel hesitant.

No doubt, once he raised the paddle, these women would definitely outbid him.

That's why.

He really doesn't like these types of events.

Here's an inappropriate example.

If someone has over 100 lovers gathered in one neighborhood for "cluster management," what they probably dislike most is hosting a homeowners' meeting.

Of course, having the ability to find over a hundred lovers, they'd likely be unruly.

Lovers might pretend not to know each other at the meeting.

Maybe they'd even help each other during confinement.

An Feng wasn't looking around; when the bid reached three hundred thousand, she raised her paddle.

"Three hundred fifty thousand, Miss Li Xue'xue bids three hundred fifty thousand."

The host saw Li Xue'xue raise her paddle and shouted loudly.

Come on, Li Xue'xue wants to clash heads with An Feng.

An Feng paused and simply didn't raise her paddle again.

She wanted to pinch Qi Hao.

They were sitting together, within arm's reach, but the camera constantly focused on them, so she had to hold her frustration.

[○･｀Д´･○]

Qi Hao, you're such a jerk.

She suspected she probably wouldn't win anything this time.

Sure enough, soon after, several others raised their paddles.

Actually, at charity auctions like this, artwork and jewelry are the best items to bid on.

Clothing is just average.

After all, clothes worn by others, even if not worn after buying, are unsettling.

Jewelry doesn't matter; displaying it in a cabinet is pleasant.

Many antique jewelry pieces have been worn by countless people, some even dug out of burial pits.

"Seventy-five thousand, Mr. Qi Hao bids seventy-five thousand."

Qi Hao raised his paddle again.

For severely ill children from poor families and disaster area kids, whoever wants to compete with me, bring it on.

He was essentially helping as a placeholder for the charity event.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of women raised their paddles, pushing the price directly above one hundred thousand.

Damn, is this necessary?

I'm starting to feel sorry for you.

Isn't one hundred thousand money? It could be better spent on cosmetic surgery.

Yet, the female celebrities were adamant; it didn't matter who won, they couldn't let Qi Hao win to give it to An Feng.

Ugh!

You scumbag.

Fawning over your current rumored girlfriend right in front of us.

Unless we're all dead, you won't get a single item today.

In the end, Li Xue'xue took the jewelry for one hundred twenty thousand.

The second item alone reaching over a hundred thousand was unprecedented before.

Su Mang's gaze at Qi Hao was almost gooey.

If Qi Hao wanted her, she might even plan where they'd be buried together after death.

As long as Qi Hao kept bidding, these women would definitely be restless.

Forget the goal of three million in donations, sixty million wouldn't be an issue.

Our Qi Hao isn't short of rumored girlfriends, and some sit next to influential figures who have multimillions between their fingers.

Old tales had fighting for a beauty.

Now it's fighting for the former rumored boyfriend's sake.

However, Qi Hao stopped raising his paddle much after the third auction item.

Acting as muscle for Su Mang, although it could help raise more funds, Qi Hao didn't trust these individuals much regarding how much would actually assist the children.

Moreover, acting as muscle gets you hated.

Qi Hao didn't care if he was hated but didn't want the trouble to spill over to An Feng.

Like the Dragon's Kiss necklace, his rumored girlfriends suspected he wanted to get it for An Feng, so they bid fiercely, and after winning, their emotions were mixed.

A mix of joy for thwarting Qi Hao's plan alongside the annoyance of spending money on impractical items.

This annoyance targets Qi Hao and An Feng.

After a while, An Feng bid successfully on an Armani Multicolored Glamorous Evening Dress, a set of skirt-style evening wear.

This multicolored printed glamorous evening dress features silk with embroidery and transparent gauze. The flowing skirt elegantly sways with the body, highlighting the exquisite curves, and its Gypsy-style floral patterns exude understated elegance amidst casual charm.

It is also considered the sparkling attire at a dazzling event, showcasing eclectic fashion taste.

This means, An Feng didn't buy it to give to Qi Hao. Unless Qi Hao is a weirdo who likes women's clothing, especially dresses.

With a starting bid of 180,000, An Feng got it for 650,000.

She's very generous when it comes to charity; at last year's Bazaar Charity Night, she won a bid for something at 450,000.

But someone like Li Xue'xue, who has attended almost every Bazaar Charity Night since 2003, is placing a bid for the first time today, and it's out of spite.

Many celebrities, even those chosen as the top ten charity stars, might not have ever donated money.

If you're talking about charity, you've gotta talk about Fang Long.

For this year's charity night, Fang Long donated three precious personal collections as auction items: A calligraphy work titled "Nation" made of fiber jade commissioned by sculptor and painter Shao Zhongtian; a model of the Zitan Official Residence Annex Building; and the costume from the movie "Myth" —— the complete armor and costume of General Meng Yi worn by Fang Long.

Even the two shirts he wore were respectively bought by philanthropists for 4.87 million and 1 million.

Definitely the most dazzling charity star of the whole event.

Qi Hao respects no one but Fang Long.

Qi Hao also raised his paddle several times for the Zitan Official Residence Annex Building model, even when the price reached two million, he still raised it once.

Wang Chongjun glanced at Qi Hao in surprise.

There's an unwritten rule at this kind of event, that towards the end, it basically becomes a showcase for the big shots.

Qi Hao, Huang Xiaoming, and Fan Xuexue, this kind of people, generally get arranged to be guest auctioneers.

This is the role of the decorative star.

However, when he thought about Qi Hao owning shares in his company, and being a mediocre shareholder, he felt at ease.

He could no longer regard Qi Hao as just a regular celebrity.

Unfortunately, Qi Hao didn't manage to win the bid.

Chen Zuming, who was ever on the phone, suddenly raised an offer of 2.4 million.

Qi Hao was instantly annoyed.

Hey kid, what's wrong with you? Why are you still raising the bid?

Host Wu Dawei jokingly said, "You can't bear to see your dad sell the house, huh?"

Chen Zuming continued to place bids while on the phone, the buyer on site didn't let up.

Qi Hao had long given up on winning this item.

He originally intended to place it in his courtyard as a display.

After all, it's an ancient-style courtyard, if you don't have something that looks cultural, it wouldn't justify the location and decor.

Even though Qi Hao didn't plan on extravagant decor, his courtyard still cost tens of millions to furnish.

Almost drained his savings.

If Mrs. Hua's stocks weren't almost ready to sell, he wouldn't have dared to decorate the courtyard this year.

In fact, many people don't renovate their houses right away after buying them.

Perhaps it's not needed now, perhaps there isn't extra money; it's not rare to renovate three to five years later.

Meanwhile, the price of the Zitan Official Residence Annex Building model continued to climb, 2.8 million, 3 million... Finally, a big buyer called out 3.8 million.

The whole audience felt a result was certain, even those at the same table raised glasses to congratulate the big buyer.

Just as Fang Long was about to hit the gavel, Chen Zuming suddenly shouted 3.88 million, and the big buyer shook his head, giving up on this item.

Are you father and son nuts?

One donates, the other bids.

If you wanted it, why didn't you just ask your dad for it? You're out there raising up the bid like I'm some sucker.

Actually, Fang Zuming wasn't intentionally bidding higher.

On the other end of the line, who it was, even Fang Long was particularly curious.

Chen Zuming revealed the answer after winning, "On the phone was my good friend Mr. Wang, he asked me to help him buy the house to give to Zhou Xun."

The audience erupted in an uproar, all eyes turned to Zhou Xun in the crowd.

Zhou Xun was at a loss for a moment, but under the urging of many, she went on stage to accept the Zitan Official Residence Annex Building model.

Host Wu Dawei even fretted over how slender Zhou Xun would manage to move such a huge model home.

Zhou Xun continually bowed to express gratitude to everyone.

Mr. Wang...

Qi Hao had no clue when Old Zhou got mixed up with a Mr. Wang.

As a friend, Qi Hao wasn't worried about Zhou Xun.

You never know who's playing who.

Mr. Zhou has had no shortage of boyfriends.

If you're famous, it's bold love; if you're not, you're fickle.

The auction item went to Li Xue'xue, and the king of bids went to Shi Yuzhu, who purchased Liu Ye's work "Sisters in the Garden."

This Harper's Bazaar Charity Night raised over 31 million.

The top ten charity ambassadors were announced on site, including Qi Hao.

Even Qi Hao didn't know how he was selected.

Too bad it wasn't a rookie award.

Why don't they create a Best New Charity Award or something?

After the group photo, some people left the venue, while others stayed to continue enjoying the night.

The original charity gala immediately turned into a social gathering.

At least, the media people would all leave.

No matter what news might arise, no one would dare report it.

Some would directly get into the big shot's cars and follow them to one of their estates for an all-night party.

Sometimes more than one person would hop in.

And it might not necessarily be someone of the opposite sex.

Others stayed behind, so Qi Hao and An Feng didn't leave right away either, they had to mingle a bit before leaving.

Being too antisocial could easily lead to isolation.

An Feng, compared to before, still maintains her unique personality but isn't as antisocial as she initially was.

After all, she came with Qi Hao, so there was nothing to worry about.
