Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 953 0941 [Charitable Donations]

Even if he were beaten to death, Peter Lam would never believe that Du Yongxiao would suddenly show up at such an event.

Du Yongxiao is an old friend of his father. Although he is older, he is a "junior" in front of Du Yongxiao. It can be said that in Lin Jianyue's eyes, Du Yongxiao is a veritable big boss.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin!" When Peter Wen saw Peter Lam staring at Du Yongxiao and Guan Jiahui in a daze, he thought he was angry with Guan Jiahui, so he hurried forward to explain.

"Jiahui is a little girl who doesn't know much. She just confiscated your business card. I apologize to you here!" Wen Peter flattered, "If you don't mind, I can accept it for her! Haha!"

Lin Jianyue frowned, "That's not necessary. My business card is not something that anyone can accept!"

"That's it! That's it! Haha!" Wen Peter was a little disappointed. He knew clearly who Peter Lam was. If he could get connected with him, he would be able to succeed in the future in no time.

Guan Yueshan and his wife Zhang Bingqian rushed over and said to Peter Lam: "I'm sorry, Boss Lam, our Ah Hui is too ignorant!"

"Yeah, it's because we spoil them too much!"

The couple kept apologizing to Peter Lam.

When Peter Lam saw that they were Guan Jiahui's parents, he was very generous and handed the business card to them: "So you are Miss Guan's parents. This is my business card. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to contact me!"

Although he knew that Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian were both big stars, they were also out-of-date stars. Towards them, Peter Lam only showed superficial politeness.

Guan Yueshan took the business card and was delighted. What does the entertainment industry rely on? Connections!

Moreover, it has been heard for a long time that the second young master of the Lin family is interested in developing in the entertainment industry. If he can make a few movies and play the leading role, wouldn't that be a great turn of events?

Guan Yueshan is 40 years old this year, but he refuses to admit his age. He thinks he is the fourth brother Xie Xian and wants to continue to be the male lead.

"Thank you so much! Boss Lin is so generous and magnanimous. I would like to invite you for a drink. How do you do it?" Guan Yueshan made a request with a straight face.

“Why not?” Peter Lam saw that he was the father of Miss Guan and gave him enough face.

The two men took the drinks brought over by the waiter, which turned out to be pre-mixed cocktails. They raised their glasses to each other and clinked them, appearing to be in very harmonious harmony.

After a while, the two chatted for a few more sentences. After all, Peter Lam was a big boss and knew a lot of people, so he stood up and said goodbye.

After he left, Guan Yueshan held up his wine glass and said happily, "Lucky, really lucky! Haha, this Boss Lin is not an ordinary person. I heard that he wants to set up an entertainment company and develop in the entertainment industry. If you know him and have a good relationship with him, you will have many opportunities in the future!"

Zhang Bingqian was also happy for her husband when she heard this.

Peter Wen stepped forward and flattered, "Uncle Guan, you are really awesome. Boss Lin is arrogant and hard to deal with, but I just saw you talking to him happily. It seems that he has a good impression of you. Maybe he is a fan of your movies."

"Haha, no way!" Guan Yueshan's vanity was satisfied. He thought that Peter Wen was a very good young man and that everything he said was very nice. "He and I just got along well. Besides, he's a big boss. How could he be my fan?"

"That's hard to say," Peter Wen said more earnestly, "A big star like you, Uncle Guan, not to mention Boss Lin, I'm afraid even the Governor of Hong Kong would praise your movies after watching them! Especially the movie "Love Unforgettable" starring you and Miss Lin Dai, I don't know how many people cried."

What Peter Wen said made sense and made Guan Yueshan happier.

Seeing this, Wen Peter said to Zhang Bingqian, "Of course, Auntie, your acting skills are also first-rate. I don't know about other things, but I am a fan of yours! I only regret that I was too young to act opposite you at that time. Otherwise, I would have tried to act opposite you, so that I could see your superb acting skills and appreciate your charming demeanor!"

Peter Wen knows how to please people so well that Zhang Bingqian was immediately delighted. "No, that's all in the past. I'm old now and haven't acted for a long time."

"Auntie, how come you have aged? In my opinion, you are as beautiful as before! If I were a director, I would definitely invite you to come back and give you a leading role. When your new film is released, it will surely become a big hit in Hong Kong..."

Wen Peter's mouth was as sweet as honey, making Guan Yueshan and his wife laugh continuously.

Seeing that the time was right, Peter Wen said, "Today was originally a very good opportunity. I mean, for Guan Jiahui, Jiahui's sister... If she could be patient and get to know this Boss Lin, maybe Boss Lin would immediately announce investment in the film. By then, your family of three would perform on the same stage, which would definitely be a great story in Hong Kong! What a pity -"

Peter Wen looked towards Guan Jiahui and Du Yongxiao, with disappointment on his face: "Sister Jiahui is immature and easily taken advantage of by some old men. I heard that the Du guy is ten years older than her. Tsk tsk, I've seen a lot of men like this, they are all people with ulterior motives. I'm really worried that Sister Jiahui will suffer!"

Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian were originally happy, but when they heard this and saw Guan Jiahui and Du Yongxiao being together and kissing each other, their mood immediately turned sour.

“This is all our fault!”

"Yeah, I shouldn't have let her go on a blind date in the first place!"

"I don't know what this Du does specifically, but he has bewitched our Jiahui."

Peter Wen felt relieved and pretended to be kind, "So, sister Jiahui is still too young and doesn't understand the dangers of the world."

"No, I have to talk to her!" Guan Yueshan was about to step forward when he heard a loud voice saying, "The celebrity charity event officially begins tonight--"

It turns out that the time is almost up and the event is about to begin.

Helplessly, Guan Yueshan had to endure it for the time being and planned to bring his daughter back after the event was over.

Seeing this, although Wen Peter was a little disappointed, he rolled his eyes and immediately laughed, thinking: "I don't know who this Du guy is, I will embarrass you later."

……

Like many celebrity charity events, the theme of this event is "raising funds for children with cerebral palsy."

A representative from the Hong Kong Children's Welfare Institute spoke on stage about the plight of children with cerebral palsy in the institution. There was not enough money to treat and care for them, and even the director had to take care of their poop and pee herself...

After a while of talking, the scene was filled with sadness. Then a representative of the celebrities came on stage. It was the big star Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao was born in Borneo, Malaysia in 1954. At the age of five, Feng Baobao made her debut as a child star in her first film, The Poisonous Husband. The following year, she won the title of "Genius Child Star" for her performance in the thriller crime film The Night of Terror. After that, she received many film offers and played the leading role in many films. From the age of five to eight, she starred in more than 150 films. Before the age of 15, she had participated in as many as 200 films.

Feng Baobao had an unfortunate childhood, and basically spent her time performing and working, so she has always been very proactive when it comes to children's issues, and has always been committed to protecting children and maintaining their welfare.

This time, she took the stage as a celebrity representative and first described the current situation of children in Hong Kong. In the past, children did not go to school, and many children carried shoe-shining boxes to help people shine shoes on the street. Some factories and docks even employed child laborers...

Then, she changed the subject and said that ever since the Commissioner of Police, Mr. To, came to power and advocated education reform and vigorously cracked down on child labor, it is rare to see children suffering in Hong Kong now, and many children are entering bright classrooms to learn cultural knowledge.

But some poor children are disabled. They cannot study, sing and dance like normal children. Some of them are blind, some have disabled legs, and some have to lie in bed all their lives and cannot move. They even have difficulty eating...

Feng Baobao's description once again plunged the scene into a heavy atmosphere.

The atmosphere is perfect.

Feng Baobao then changed the subject and said, "Now, let us thank Mr. Li Zhaoheng, the general manager of Li's Real Estate Company! It was him who specially initiated this celebrity fundraising event! For those disabled children, for those children with cerebral palsy, he himself had already donated one million Hong Kong dollars before the event!"

Wow!
There was a commotion at the scene.

"Mr. Li is so kind!" "Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Li to have such a kind heart."

The scene became lively,

Shao Daheng ordered someone in the backstage: "Turn on the searchlight and give Mr. Li a close-up!"

Snapped!
Under the stage, the searchlight turned on and shone on Li Zhaoheng.

Li Zhaoheng was wearing a neat black suit and had his hair combed back. He looked very energetic and when he saw that he had become the focus of attention, he waved to everyone.

"Now, let's invite Mr. Li to come to the stage and speak!" the big star Feng Baobao invited on the stage.

clap clap clap!
applause.

At this moment, Li Zhaoheng became a superstar that everyone was paying attention to.

He walked onto the stage with his head held high, took the microphone handed to him by Feng Baobao, and began his speech.

He had prepared all these speeches in advance and had his assistants polish them to make them as sentimental as possible, which immediately aroused the excitement of the big names and stars present.

Li Zhaoheng looked at the audience and felt like he was high above everyone else. It was a perfect event.

Shao Daheng took the opportunity to have the media take crazy photos of him, and a lot of copywriting was already prepared -
"Li Daheng has a kind heart and is brave enough to help the orphanage!"

"Mr. Li organized a fundraiser and celebrities participated enthusiastically!"

"Hong Kong is sleepless, Lee's Properties takes the lead in raising millions for children with cerebral palsy..."

If nothing unexpected happens, the entire front page headlines in Hong Kong tomorrow will be about Li Zhaoheng and Li’s Properties.

After Li Zhaoheng's speech, those big stars were not to be outdone and also donated generously to show their love.

Peter Lam: "I donated 500,000!"

Feng Baobao: "I donated 100,000 yuan!"

Li Zhaoheng looked at the scene in front of him, crossed his arms, pinched his chin, and looked smug.

Who can steal my limelight tonight?
Although Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian are in financial difficulty and even worry about electricity and property fees, they certainly cannot help but express their opinions on such occasions.

Holding back the heartache, Guan Yueshan stepped onto the stage and expressed his willingness to donate to children with cerebral palsy…

He said he wanted to donate "5,000", but the MC thought he was a big star and definitely wouldn't donate that little, so he said first: "Big star Guan Yueshan and his wife donated 50,000! Everyone applaud and welcome!"

clap clap clap!
Everyone in the audience applauded.

Someone praised: "As expected of a celebrity couple, they never miss out on charity!"

"Yeah, I heard that the couple was going to go bankrupt, but now it seems that it was all just a rumor!"

Guan Yueshan didn't know whether he was happy or helpless on the stage.

Fifty thousand yuan!

Where did he get it?

Of course, donations like this don’t need to be cashed in, but you still have to pay. Now he can’t even pay the electricity, water, and property fees, so why would he donate? !
Zhang Bingqian felt even more upset. Seeing her husband standing on the stage and forcing a smile, she almost cried. Was he really going to sell her dowry?
Selling it to supplement the family income is fine, but donating it with this big hand——
I donate money to others to show my love, but who will donate money to their own family to help those in need?
But now that things have come to this, she and her husband Guan Yueshan have nothing to explain. They can't just say that the donation was wrong? That would be even more embarrassing. Now they can only bite the bullet and pretend to be rich. After all, they are celebrities.

"Uncle and aunt, I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about charity!" Wen Peter hadn't figured out the truth yet, and was flattering Guan Yueshan as he stepped down.

"At first I thought you could donate at most 10,000 yuan, but I didn't expect you to donate 50,000 yuan. You are really a big star, Uncle Guan, I admire you so much!"

The more Peter Wen said this, the uglier Guan Yueshan looked. He could only pretend to smile: "It is my duty to serve the charity! How much are you going to donate, Master Wen?"

"Haha, Uncle Guan, now that you mention it, I can't do less than you, let alone more than you, so I'll just make a small donation of thirty thousand!"

"Not bad!" Guan Yueshan didn't want to say more.

Peter Wen then went on stage to donate.

Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount of money in this era, and it can almost buy an ordinary car.

Peter Wen is so young, and he calls himself an actor, model, and fur trader, which is really impressive.

Even Li Zhaoheng couldn't help but take a second look at Peter Wen and asked the person next to him, "I know all the fur traders in Hong Kong, so how come I don't know this guy?"

The person next to him said hurriedly: "That's not up to par."

indeed.

Peter Wen is actually not a mainstream actor. As a so-called actor model, he has only played minor roles in movies for a few minutes. At his own fur sale, he wore his own fur as a model to save the money of hiring a model.

As for him as a fur trader, he actually just buys up the "defective products" that some big fur companies don't want at low prices, and then sells them at high prices as high-quality products.

So in the eyes of real fur traders, Peter Wen is just a person who picks up scraps and eats garbage, and is not even worthy of being in the mainstream.

This is also the reason why Li Zhaoheng has never heard of his name.

In his previous life, after Wen Peter started dating Guan Jiahui, Guan Jiahui soon found out his background and decided to break up with him.

After donating 30,000, Peter Wen was very proud. He walked off the stage and walked straight to Du Yongxiao. He first glanced at Guan Jiahui, and then challenged Du Yongxiao: "Everyone is donating to charity. I wonder how much you plan to donate, Mr. Du?"

Guan Jiahui stepped forward: “Peter Wen, what do you mean?”

She knew that Du Yongxiao might not have money and didn't want Wen Peter to make things difficult for Du Yongxiao.

"What do you mean? Everyone is donating, I want to know how much love Mr. Du, whom you value, has for those disabled children!" Wen Peter said provocatively. "Hey, Mr. Du, don't tell me you are poor and can't even take out a penny! Don't worry, even if you really donate very little, we won't laugh at you! After all, poverty is not your fault...hahaha!" He laughed wildly.

Du Yongxiao smiled when he heard this, pushed aside Guan Jiahui who was blocking him and said to Peter Wen: "I don't donate much!" Then he took out a piece of hard skin from his arms, flicked it in his hand, and said, "One yuan!"
