572 Chapter 572-losing control
Xia Chaoqun turned his head around. Liu Ye pursed his lips, unable to hide his disappointment.
Mo Anqi trembled all over. Jiang se, on the other hand, calmly placed her phone back into her bag and gently closed it.
While many people were still discussing the three pieces of armadeus’s manuscript that had raised the climax of the dinner, in the media section, Xiao Zhang from Huaxia information was dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he grabbed Yu Zilin’s hand and shook it.
“What do you think happened to Jiang se? What do you think happened to her?”
Little Zhang was extremely puzzled. has she gone crazy? ”
Yu Zilin was also speechless. The scene tonight made everyone’s hearts tighten. She even heard the reporters next door whispering, ” it’s just a charity dinner, but why do I feel like I’m watching a blockbuster film with ups and downs when Tao cen and Jiang se are behind me? ”
Many people agreed with his words. Many people had the same feeling.
The climax caused by the last scene of the Amadeus manuscript tonight was no less than some wonderful movie clips.
“This matter has reminded me of something.” The reporters in the media section were talking softly, which attracted the attention of some of their peers. Someone turned around and asked in a low voice, ”
“What is it?”
do you guys still remember the ‘light up China’ charity dinner held by ‘the grace of the times’ a few years ago? ”
Some people were reminded by the reporter and quickly remembered this old incident.
a female star who played ‘rescue mission’ took an autograph from director Zhang Jingan. Do you still remember? ”
With that said, even some people with bad memories remembered.
At the charity banquet that year, Zhang Jingan’s signature also set off a climax in the venue.
At that time, the situation was also that two female celebrities were fighting for Zhang Jingan’s signature, and in the end, the signature was raised to an incredible height. How similar was the situation back then to now?
The only difference was that the female artistes involved in the dispute were different, and the status of the female artistes involved in the dispute was different. The news value of the incident at that time was also different.
I still remember that Feng Nan was the one who snatched Zhang Jingan’s signature back then.
“It’s her. She’s the daughter of Zhongnan industries, and her grandfather is a Huaxia Revolutionary Army member.”
“Pfft, you’re indeed rich.”
as expected of the heiress of Zhongnan industries. She’s indeed rich. An autograph, didn’t it cost more than a million? ”
“To be precise, it’s more than 1.5 million!”
When the reporter who remembered the final price of Zhang Jingan’s signature spoke, the people around him were silent for a moment. After a while, someone laughed and said, ”
it’s unbelievable that an autograph could be sold for more than 1.5 million.
“I’m afraid this record is going to be broken.”
The person who spoke raised his chin and pointed in Jiang SE’s direction. No one spoke again. They waited to see if Tao cen’s side was going to raise their sign.
The venue quieted down. Everyone’s eyes were on Tao cen, waiting for his reaction.
Song Yi spread open his palms that were covered in cold sweat and wiped them on his suit pants. He licked his dry lips and approached Tao cen, asking in a low voice,
“Sister Tao, do, do you still want to follow?”
The corners of Tao cen’s mouth rose. She simply could not suppress her good mood after what had happened tonight.
She did not expect things to go much smoother than she had expected. Jiang se was too inexperienced and could not take a provocation. She had only made a slight move, and Jiang se had fallen into her trap.
Five million and he still wanted to follow?
If she continued to follow them, she might be the one who would be reported as a rich fool in the newspapers tomorrow!
“You must know when to stop.”
Her smile was meaningful, and the meaning of her words was quite obvious.
Everyone was waiting for her response. Even the organizers of ‘the style of the times’ were looking at her expression. The host also looked in her direction. The host’s voice rang out in the venue.
“Five million, five million going once, five million going twice, anyone else? It’s the manuscript of the genius composer, Amadeus, and it records the source of inspiration for Amadeus’s composition. It’s provided by the Steinway piano store. It’s a three-piece manuscript. Does anyone still want to have it?”
The venue was silent. According to the rules, the host was already counting down.
Xia Chaoqun’s face was as dark as water. With the current situation, he had already made a fool of himself.
Jiang se would become a laughingstock, just like Feng Nan in the past.
No, Xia Chaoqun even understood that she would end up in a much worse state than Feng Nan.
Back then, Feng Nan’s status could not be compared to Jiang SE’s current status. The person who was arguing with Jiang se was Tao cen. Tao cen’s popularity among the Chinese citizens was not comparable to Zhao ruoyun’s, who had fought with Feng Nan for Zhang Jingan’s autograph.
The crowd had watched a good show and felt that the previous scene had been wonderful. They had thought that the show had come to an end and that everyone was satisfied when Tao cen suddenly stood up. Under everyone’s gaze, she raised her hand, indicating that she had something to say.
The situation was out of control.
“Brother Shao, what should we do?”
At this point, the staff of “the grace of the times” were on the verge of tears. No matter what, they must have offended century Galaxy tonight. Also, Jiang se had suffered such a loss. Her fiancé would not let this matter rest.
Shao cunjin was also having a headache now. He had also called the higher-ups and thought about whether to find someone to save the situation and then participate in the bidding to resolve the conflict.
However, if another person made a bid, things would only get worse unless Jiang se and Tao cen were both willing to stop.
“We can’t arrange for these two ancestors to appear at the same time in the future!” Even though Shao cunjin had a lot of Jianghu experience, he could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet in regret.
“Even if I have to offend someone, it’s still better than now!”
Tao cen was about to speak, but no one could stop her. The situation was already very bad, and it could not get any worse. Shao cunjin decided to go all out. He raised his chin and gestured for one of his subordinates to hand Tao cen a microphone. He sneered as if he was going crazy.
if they want to make a scene, then let them make a scene. Anyway, I’m not the only one with a headache when it comes to cleaning up. At most, I’ll just quit!
When the staff heard this, someone quickly handed Tao cen a microphone. The smile on Tao cen’s face became even sweeter. She held the microphone. Even though she was only in the first row of the VIP seats and was on the stage with the brightest lights, Tao cen was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person in the venue.
“I’m sure miss Jiang really likes art, and all she can see is the music score.”
There was a hidden meaning behind her words. Those who did not understand would think that she was gloating. However, Jiang se recalled the ‘story’ that Tao cen and CapMan had told her about when she had just become famous. When she received her first high remuneration, she had bought a Steinway piano despite the pain. When she received the piano, she performed on the spot, recorded it, and uploaded it to the internet.
A friend said that she was ‘showing off her wealth’ by wearing a ring, but she was referring to the fact that people could only see the ‘ring’ in their eyes, but not the piano that was worth millions. She was secretly mocking that people’s level was not high enough, and their vision and realm were not enough.
At this moment, she was using the same excuse to belittle Jiang se. Perhaps only Mr. Chapman, the person-in-charge of Steinway’s China region, could understand her.
Tao cen’s indirect way of stepping on someone was much more brilliant than Feng Nan’s way of making a big deal out of it online. Jiang se almost applauded her shrewdness and wisdom.
As expected of an expert who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, Tao cen’s scheming definitely played a huge role in her success.
While Mr. CapMan was deep in thought, Tao cen announced with a smile, ”
“A gentleman doesn’t take what others like. There’s a way to fulfill someone’s wishes. Therefore, Amadeus’s manuscript may have to be obtained by the person who really ‘likes’ it for it to be of full value. Congratulations, Ms. Jiang, the manuscript of Amadeus is yours!”
She took the lead in clapping, and the people in the venue followed suit one after another. Gradually, more and more people started clapping, and the entire venue was almost drowned in applause.
These people could no longer hide the mockery in their eyes. Liu Ye shook his head silently. Xia Chaoqun glanced at Jiang se. At this moment, she was suddenly very curious about how Jiang se felt.
Xia Chaoqun heard Tao cen’s sarcasm very clearly and understood why Tao cen was so proud of himself.
Jiang se might have guessed this situation from the start, but she still jumped into the trap that Tao cen had set up. He wondered if she regretted her earlier impulsiveness.
Xia Chaoqun sighed silently. She had always been full of energy and had an indomitable determination. All these years, she had been filled with passion for her work. However, at this moment, she felt an indescribable fatigue. She had never expected that the well-behaved Jiang se would make such a mistake.
This feeling was like a master who had fought all over the world. He did not die to the enemy’s sword, but was blocked by a fish bone.
She reached out and pinched the space between her eyebrows. Her action of lowering her head caused her hair to fall down, blocking her face and the eyes of those who tried to pry into her thoughts.
Hence, Xia Chaoqun did not notice that after Tao cen had finished speaking and the crowd applauded, Jiang se had also placed her bag on her seat. She then whispered to Liu Ye, who was beside her, ”
“Brother Liu, can you please help me look at my bag?”
Liu Ye was so disappointed that he almost did not react to Jiang SE’s words. He only came back to his senses when Jiang se pleaded for the second time. He nodded with a dark expression.
He should not have revealed his emotions like that. In reality, Jiang SE’s behavior had nothing to do with him.
Perhaps it was because he rarely sincerely cared for a person and gave her advice, but she didn’t listen to him and instead caused this mess.
It was also possible that it was rare for China to produce such a spiritual actress who could break into the European and American markets, so he felt a little pity for her.
Jiang se smiled at Liu Ye. After thanking him, she adjusted her skirt unhurriedly and slowly stood up.
“Eh?”
“Jiang se is standing up too.”
“This bi an …”
The people around him were abuzz with discussion. Xia Chaoqun put down his hand that was covering his mouth and subconsciously raised his head.
She saw Jiang se lifting her skirt and walking toward the stage.
Everyone’s gaze shifted from Tao cen to her. They were confused as they did not understand what Jiang se was up to.
“Sister Xia, Huahua.”
Mo Anqi was also shocked as she called out softly. Xia Chaoqun’s heart skipped a beat and he could not help but shout, ”
“Don’t be noisy!”
Her initially calm heart was now beating faster. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. She saw Jiang SE’s unhurried footsteps.
Right now, she should be the target of ridicule, but in Xia Chaoqun’s eyes, she seemed to have already won!
She was not an impulsive person. If she dared to confront Tao cen, she must have her own reasons and was confident that she was willing to do so!
For the first time in his life, Xia Chaoqun’s heart was beating like a drum. When she saw Jiang se on the stage, she naturally took the microphone from the emcee. The situation that had gone out of control because of her fight with Tao cen was now under her control.
“She, what is she doing, Yingluo?”
Shao cunjin, the editor-in-chief of ” the style of the times “, muttered. The staff member was also confused and shook his head with a blank expression.
At this moment, no one could guess what Jiang se was thinking. There was not a hint of awkwardness on her face. Under the light, she looked radiant and her smile was extremely charming.
What was Jiang se trying to do?! Shao cunjin from ‘the grace of the times’ probably wasn’t the only one who wanted to ask this question. The people in the media section also wanted to ask this question. Everyone who came to tonight’s charity banquet, Song Yi, and even Tao cen wanted to ask this question.
Now that things had come to this, she should honestly think of a way to clean up this mess. Even if she cried and panicked, Tao cen thought that it was reasonable.
However, there was something off about Jiang SE’s expression. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to be glowing. Her delicate and flawless lines seemed to be a masterpiece carefully carved by God.
I’m very honored to have Amadeus ‘manuscript.
Jiang se picked up the microphone and looked at the manuscript. Under Shao cunjin’s instructions, the emcee secretly switched the photograph of the manuscript on the screen behind Jiang se to the live camera and set it to show the scene on stage. Jiang SE’s face appeared on the big screen, and her every subtle movement could be captured by the guests.
Her face could withstand the scrutiny from the big screen. Even the people who had laughed at Jiang se tonight felt pity for her when they saw her face.
“I’m afraid that piano students view senior Amadeus’s works as the ultimate art. Bidding for Mr. Amadeus’s three manuscripts tonight is like a pilgrimage for me!”
When she said that, Tao cen’s smile faded a little as she stood in the first row. Jiang se was indeed smart. She had already thought of a way to justify herself.
However, such an explanation was of no use now.
She could convince a small number of people, but the majority might not buy it.
There was a hidden mockery in Tao cen’s eyes. He held the microphone and waited for Jiang SE’s next move with a smile.
“Mr. CapMan.”
Jiang se held the manuscript in one hand and the microphone in the other. She suddenly shouted out Chapman’s identity.
Everyone followed her gaze and looked in the direction of the Steinway piano store. It was obvious that CapMan did not like to become famous this way. The smile on his face appeared rather distant. It was not as gentle as when he looked at Jiang se before, but he still stood up gentlemanly and bowed.
“Can I borrow the piano from Steinway?”
Jiang se did not seem to notice Chapman’s slightly cold smile as she made her request.
“Of course you can.”
Chapman did not expect that she would make such a request when she called out to him. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded happily.
Jiang se picked up the manuscript and walked toward the piano.
At this time, Shao cunjin reacted and signaled the staff to turn on the lights where the Steinway piano was placed.
The crowd watched as the lights lit up with every step Jiang se took. The charity banquet tonight seemed to have become her stage. Almost everyone’s eyes were on her, and it was difficult for them to be attracted to anyone else.
Tao cen vaguely felt that something was not right. Her eyelids twitched, but she could not tell what was wrong.
tonight’s incident should be beneficial to her, “she consoled herself. It was unlikely that Jiang se would turn the tables. However, she had a bad feeling about this.
She had been in the Dao for many years and her sixth sense was quite sharp. However, Tao cen could not help but ask herself, Could she be thinking too much?
Jiang se was about to reach the piano when a Steinway staff pulled out a chair for her to sit down.
