Entertaining Children

After Xiao Yao said such a thing, Shi Lingqiang had nothing to refute, he could only curl his lips, and closed his mouth resentfully.

Seeing that Shi Lingqiang was silent, Xiao Yao smiled slightly, put his hands on the strings, and was about to start playing, and the scene became quiet.

In order to show that it was a temporary idea for Xiao Yao to perform on stage, the organizer did not connect the audio equipment to the guitar to be auctioned, nor did it prepare a microphone stand on the spot. When Xiao Yao was talking just now, Lu Ke helped Xiao Yao hold the microphone. Now, if he wants to let the guests in the banquet hall hear clearly, he can only let the host put the microphone in his hand to the sound hole of the guitar to pick up the sound. Amplified.

Xiao Yao was sitting on a chair with his guitar in his arms. Lu Ke's arm naturally drooped just enough to send the microphone in front of Xiao Yao's mouth. Bend down. A piece of music lasted for three or four minutes. Lu Ke felt that it would be tiring to bend over all the time, so he simply squatted down on the stage, and raised the microphone obliquely to the sound hole of the guitar in Xiao Yao's hand.

Lu Ke's sudden squatting action startled Xiao Yao, and he understood it immediately. Then Xiao Yao stood up holding the guitar, moved the gavel and the base on the auction table, and sat down on the auction table. , smiled and said to Lu Ke: "I think it's more comfortable to sit on the table, and the chair is for you."

"Thank you!" Lu Ke smiled gratefully at Xiao Yao. Squatting on the ground didn't look very elegant, but she felt that her waist couldn't bear it if she really had to bend over for a few minutes. This is the lot she is in charge of, and she also brought up the idea, and she is ashamed to ask Xiao Wei next to her to replace her. Although Xiao Yao's behavior of sitting at the table is not very polite and elegant, it is also a manifestation of his unusual gentleman behavior, so Lu Ke also accepted his kindness, got up and sat on the chair where Xiao Yao was originally sitting.

It's very bad manners to sit at a table in public, let alone an occasion like tonight? Xiao Yao's behavior also startled the guests present, but then saw Lu Ke, who was squatting on the ground, sit on the chair that Xiao Yao was sitting on before, and raised the microphone to the sound hole of the guitar in Xiao Yao's hand. Everyone also understood what Xiao Yao meant. Not only did he not show any dissatisfaction, but he gave Xiao Yao a round of applause for his unrestrained character and gentlemanly behavior.

After the audience's applause fell, Xiao Yao's hand also moved lightly on the strings, and a melodic guitar sound rang out.

This song "Wishing Cherry" was created by the former fingerstyle guitarist GIN based on the movie "First Love". It is actually a song about the ambiguous feelings between men and women with a little sense of depression. But after all, this is a somewhat sad and warm song. Whether it is the love between men and women, family affection or even ordinary people's concern for the people in the disaster area, it is all about a kind of bond between people. Under Xiao Yao's introduction, it was easy for everyone to understand this song as his concern for the people in the disaster area, and it was more appropriate to perform it on this occasion tonight.

Listening to Xiao Yao playing this ethereal and beautiful piece,

The guests at the scene felt as if their souls were bathed in a layer of sunshine. After Xiao Yao's performance ended, the guests at the scene also gave Xiao Yao another round of warm applause.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao jumped off the auction table, bowed to the guests, turned around and handed the guitar in his hand to the ceremonial model standing aside, and was about to leave the stage.

"Wait," Lu Ke stopped Xiao Yao and said, "The song just now is so beautiful, I was so moved when I heard it. From today onwards, I'm your fan, can I hug you?"

"Of course." Xiao Yao nodded and opened his arms with a smile.

"Xiao Yao, I've been your fan for a long time, and I want to hug you too!" After Xiao Yao and Lu Ke gently hugged each other, Xiao Wei also came over.

"A long time ago? Then why didn't you come here to help your idol hold the microphone?" Lu Ke pouted.

"You think I don't want to?" Xiao Wei countered, "I just don't want to steal your chance to perform, and I don't know for your sake? Look, you can sit comfortably on the chair and rest for a few minutes. Like me, you have to stand from beginning to end."

"If it were you, I might not want to sit at the table." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Hey, save some face, okay? I should just squat on the ground when I'm cooperating?" Xiao Wei said dissatisfiedly, "Not to mention that I'm also your fan. We both have the surname Xiao. We were a family five hundred years ago!"

There was some laughter from the audience, and Xiao Yao wanted to laugh too, so he hurried up and gave Xiao Wei a hug, coaxing a child and saying, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll give you a loving hug! "

Amidst another burst of laughter, Xiao Yao let go of Xiao Wei and quickly walked off the stage.

"The auction of this guitar will officially start now." Xiao Yao stepped off the stage, and Lu Ke also pulled back the rhythm of the scene, and then introduced, "This guitar was made by Xiao Yao himself, and he said he didn't know what to order. Reserve price, so it is not fixed, that is to say, this item is auctioned without reserve price. The auction is now open, please bid as you like."

"One hundred thousand!" As soon as Lu Ke finished speaking, a voice raised a placard and shouted.

"The asking price is 100,000 yuan. It seems that I really don't need to help you guarantee it." Yin Xi said to Xiao Yao with a smile, turned to look at the bidder, and said in surprise, "This is not from Huayao Film and Television. Boss? You also know this boss?"

"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head, "But there seems to be an email from Huayao asking me to invite me to sing in my work mailbox. They recently invested in a TV series and asked me to help them write the theme song and ending song. No reply."

"Song writing? I thought they wanted you to act in a play." Yin Xi said.

"Are you short of opportunities to act recently?" Xiao Yao said, "The filming of that TV series hasn't started yet, do you want me to help you get a role? Although I'm not familiar with them yet, I can become familiar with them after writing songs for them Get up, and you can recommend actors to them."

"No!" Yin Xi said, "It's not a work that you invested in or directed or wrote. I don't want you to use the method of writing songs for others to help me change performance opportunities."

"Well, whatever you want!" Xiao Yao said indifferently.

"Two hundred thousand!" Yin Xi raised his sign and shouted.

"Why, didn't you just say that you don't need your guarantee?" Xiao Yao said unexpectedly.

"Who said it was to take care of your face? Can't I take a picture of your guitar and play it by myself?" Yin Xi said.

"The recording studio is in your studio, and there are many guitars in it. If you want to play, you can go to the recording studio by yourself," Xiao Yao covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Even if you want the guitar I made, I will still give it to you." Yes, I’ll just give you a hand, why are you still filming this?”

"I'm happy, you don't care!" Yin Xi said.

"250,000!" Another offer was made.

"Huh?" Yin Xi looked up at the bidder again, and found that it was an actress named Zhou Yuqing.

"I heard that her management company is going to let her set foot in the music industry and develop in multiple directions. She has already contacted the album producer for her, and is going around to help her collect songs. Did she also invite you to sing?" Yin Xi asked Xiao Yao.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "There is indeed an invitation email from her agency in the mailbox."

"How many invitation emails are lying in your mailbox?" Yin Xi asked in surprise.

"It used to look like there were twenty or thirty letters. After "Singer", now there are two or three hundred." Xiao Yao said, "But it doesn't mean that there is such a thing as songwriting. If people don't rush, I will Basically nothing."

"Didn't you say there is? You just went up to play a new original song. Are you ashamed to say such a thing now?" Yin Xi rolled his eyes and said.

"Three hundred thousand!" After rolling his eyes, Yin Xi raised his placard to quote again.

"500,000!" Another offer was made.

Yin Xi looked at the bidder again. This time, there was no need to ask Xiao Yao any more, because she found out that it was Li Ai who made the offer. She had expected that Li Ai might come forward to support Xiao Yao, but she didn't expect Li Ai's price to be so high.

"That first lady in the tennis world really wants you to go to the scene to cheer her up!" Yin Xi looked at Xiao Yao and smiled.

"It seems that I really have to take the time to watch her match live and support her." Xiao Yao also laughed.

Knowing why Li Ai made an offer, Yin Xi didn't intend to open his mouth to compete with Li Ai this time, but someone still offered a higher offer at the scene.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Someone raised a placard to make an offer.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at the person who raised the placard this time, and found that it was Shi Lingqiang, and they all showed surprise expressions. Xiao Yao and Yin Xi knew the news, and other people at the scene knew about it. The first few people had their own reasons for quoting Xiao Yao's guitar. It is not surprising to participate in the auction, but Shi Lingqiang will bid for Xiao Yao's guitar It was unexpected. Judging from the situation just now, the current most famous rich second generation is obviously at odds with Xiao Yao, the most famous star second generation. Why is he bidding on Xiao Yao's things now?

"Why did he take pictures of your things?" Yin Xi was a little curious like everyone else, but she was different from others in that if she had any doubts in her heart, she could ask Xiao Yao in person.

"How do I know?" Xiao Yao shrugged, "But I can maliciously speculate that the price of 500,000 yuan has already exceeded the final transaction price of many previous auctions. I will not lose face anyway. Since I did it Something, maybe Young Master Shi wanted to take it back and smash it to vent his anger."

"Really? He won't be so boring, right?" Yin Xi stared and said.

"Didn't you say that those rich second generations can do anything?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Didn't you say that he is not like an ordinary dandy, and he is more measured in doing things?" Yin Xi also said.

"If he doesn't smash that guitar on the stage for a while, he's already very restrained and measured. Isn't it okay to smash it at home? People don't care about the 1.8 million yuan, so spend the money to vent your anger." Xiao Yao laughed.

"Hmph, how can it be that easy?" Yin Xi snorted, then raised his number plate and shouted, "One million!"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "You were talking about me just now, what are you fighting with him now?"

"Like you, let him bleed some blood, even if he really slapped your guitar back and smashed it for fun, it will make the movement he can hear in his heart a little louder." Yin Xi said.

"One and a half million!" Shi Lingqiang really raised his number plate and continued to increase the price.

"He just has a bit of a temper, and he's not an idiot. What if he stops playing with you and hits your hands?" Xiao Yao said a little speechlessly.

"I'm sensible, and I won't yell at the price. If he doesn't play, I'll take the guitar back." Yin Xi said.

"Two million!" Yin Xi also raised his number plate again and said.

"Isn't this shouting?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"Two hundred and five, no, two million and six hundred thousand!" Shi Lingqiang raised his number plate, adjusted his quotation, and then turned to look at Yin Xi.

"Okay." Yin Xi put down the number plate in his hand, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Your guitar is the king of the bid today, and the price is higher than my necklace."

"2.6 million for the first time!" Yin Xi put down the number plate, and there was no new offer at the scene, so Lu Ke began to announce the highest offer at the scene to remind everyone.

"2.6 million for the second time!" Lu Ke repeated, picking up the gavel on the table, "2.6 million for the third time..."

"Three million!" Another voice rang out from the scene.

"Why is it her? Is IIG going to enter the entertainment industry too?" Due to the previous bidding, everyone at the scene paid attention to the table between Shi Lingqiang and Xiao Yao Yinxi. He thought that this time Shi Lingqiang was going to take the lot on the stage again, but he didn't expect another accident before Lu Ke dropped the hammer. Everyone followed the sound of the quotation and turned their heads to look, quite surprised to find that the person who made the quotation this time was the president of IIG's Asia-Pacific region, a legendary strong woman in the business world - Leng Qiuning!

IIG is one of the largest financial investment groups in the world, and this Leng Qiuning is the top person in charge of IIG's Asia Pacific region. Although her own wealth may not be comparable to that of Shi Lingqiang's family, the amount of wealth she can control and mobilize is even more than that of Shi Lingqiang's richest father. It's just that IIG has never set foot in China's entertainment industry in the Asia-Pacific region, and it should have no intersection with Xiao Yao, nor any interest relationship. Why did Xiao Yao's guitar suddenly bid at a high price?

Shi Lingqiang is not a second-generation ancestor who is useless, and naturally knows the head of the Asia-Pacific region of this top multinational group. Even his father would not easily offend this kind of person with huge wealth and power, let alone him? He didn't know if President Leng had anything to do with Xiao Yao, and if so, what kind of relationship, so he fell silent with some scruples and doubts in his heart.

Xiao Yao also looked at the guest who made the bid, just as Leng Qiuning also looked at him, and when their eyes met, they both smiled and nodded, as a greeting.

"You don't have friendship with this President Leng, do you?" Yin Xi who was next to him looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

Yin Xi is in charge of the operation of the studio and the brand, and naturally knows this kind of influential figure in the business world. On the contrary, Xiao Yao has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, except for designing a few costumes and looking for opportunities to advertise, he basically doesn't care about any commercial matters. The animation film has not yet started external financing. Based on Xiao Yao's experience, he and that business tycoon should not have any intersection, and they have never even met face to face, let alone friendship.

"We met once," Xiao Yao said, "But that was already two years ago."

"Two years ago? Weren't you still in high school at that time?" Yin Xi guessed, "We met when we were exchange students in the United States?"

"No, we met in private in Huaxia Yanjing." Xiao Yao said. "Just did her a little favor."

"Can you still help her?" Yin Xi was even more surprised, "Or just casually?"

"I'll tell you later." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It seems that Master Shi doesn't intend to fight with Mr. Leng anymore. That's good, at least Mr. Leng took my guitar back. It's definitely not for the same reason as Master Shi. It's just for fun."

"Three million for the first time!" Lu Ke waited for a while, but seeing that Shi Lingqiang hadn't moved, he could only remind him.
