Chapter 102: Bazaar, Evening Dress
Bazaar announced this year's guest list on Weibo.
Over a hundred first and second-tier celebrities in the circle, compared to previous years, the scale was even more grand.
Just don't know how much money these many people can donate in the end?
Not long after finishing lunch, Lin Nan began teasing cats and walking dogs in Liu Yifei's garden.
He didn't quite understand, since they were already so beautiful, how else did they need to put on makeup?
Lin Nan went in to take a look from time to time. Good guy, it was really slow; he couldn't understand which step was dragging the time.
"This, about how much longer?"
"Two hours, there's still hair to tie." The makeup artist said.
"What makeup to put on, no difference whether you paint or not, all very beautiful."
Lin Nan's sentence made everyone, including Liu Yifei, laugh.
"Hee hee, don't be anxious, wait a bit longer." Liu Yifei said softly.
"Alright, I'll go walk them for another round..."
Lin Nan sighed in his heart; for the rest of his life, he was afraid he would often have to wait like this.
Ning Hao even called, saying see you tonight; this guy and Xing Aina were participating for the first time, and couldn't get away before.
After walking the dogs for a few rounds, calculating the time, Lin Nan returned.
At this time, Liu Yifei had just changed into her evening dress.
A pure white strapless long dress, wearing a pair of crystal high heels on her feet, hair tied up.
A pair of diamond earrings, a top-grade pearl necklace on her neck, and a bracelet on her right wrist.
Simple, noble!
Liu Mu simply dressed her daughter as a princess.
Lin Nan stood at the door and looked blankly.
"Does it look good?"
"Ah, looks good."
Lin Nan suddenly came back to his senses and nodded straight away.
"This shouldn't be the outfit you chose yourself, haha."
One sentence made Liu Yifei break her defense. "You know and still ask..."
"Alright, alright, you can set off."
Liu Mu reminded at the right moment.
The car stopped at the villa gate; Lin Nan helped Liu Yifei into the back seat, and then he sat in too.
After the assistant sat in the passenger seat, the car slowly started and set off for the Yintai Center.
Because there was a special situation last year, the Bazaar Charity Night was very low-key.
This year was different.
Outside Yintai, a red carpet over thirty meters long had already been laid out, with media reporters on both sides, and a large number of onlookers and fans on the outer perimeter.
Jackie Chan and his son, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing...
Hu Jun, Carina Lau, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, Tong Dawei...
…………
A large number of stars and artists, either alone or with partners.
In front of the signature wall, Su Mang was all smiles, greeting various big shots or first-tier celebrities.
A business sedan stopped slowly, the car door opened, and Lin Nan stepped out.
"It's Lin Dao Nan!"
Su Mang greeted him enthusiastically.
Liu Yifei stepped out of the car, holding Lin Nan's hand.
At this moment, the cameras in the reporters' hands were raised immediately.
"Lin Dao, Yifei, welcome to Bazaar Night, the two of you walk the red carpet."
"Mm, thank you." Liu Yifei answered softly, very polite.
Lin Nan nodded and held Liu Yifei's hand as they walked onto the red carpet.
This was the first time the two had attended an event in the country after going public; the media reporters were incredibly excited.
After signing, the two entered the Yintai Center.
Car after car drove up.
"It's President Lu of Starlight Splendid, and Miss Jing Tian..."
…………
Compared to last year, this year's Liu Yifei appeared even more generous and decent.
Lin Nan held her hand and walked into the venue.
All around were people taking the initiative to greet them.
The further forward the seat, the bigger the status.
Many second-tier stars just watched Lin Nan and the two walk past them, both envious and jealous.
"Yifei, Lin Dao."
Jiang Yiyan was really clever, standing up to greet them.
Liu Yifei was kind-hearted, waving her hand with a smile. "Chat with me in a while."
"Hehe, okay."
Lin Nan was too lazy to care about this little thought.
Walking all the way to the round tables in the front two rows, the two stopped.
"Yifei, you're really slow. When we called just now, Lin Nan said you were putting on makeup, look at that sister of yours, she didn't... *hiss*..."
"Are you calling me a yellow-faced woman?"
"No, let go quickly, there are so many people here."
The consequence of having a fast mouth is like this; Ning Hao deserved it. Xing Aina also had experience, the movement was very small, and no one noticed.
This table really had 4 people; it should have been specially arranged by the organizer.
The second row, right next to Lin Nan's table, were Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, the two Bingbings, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, and those people.
Jackie Chan, Wang Zhongjun, and others didn't need to think; they were definitely at the round tables in the first row.
"This seat is the truest portrayal of the circle. Even if the front isn't full, the people in the back don't dare to come over..." Ning Hao scanned the whole venue and sighed.
Ning Hao's number plate was 12, and he shared one with Xing Aina.
Lin Nan saw that he was number 8, and Liu Yifei was 25. They didn't share? Really ignorant!
Could it be because Ning Hao was married?
Lin Nan saw Lu Zheng and Jing Tian enter the venue, and the latter also saw him.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they went to the second row and were with Wanda's people, relatively far from Lin Nan's side.
"Tiantian, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I saw Brother Lin..."
"Mm. Raise the paddle if you see anything you like in a while." Lu Zheng looked into the distance and changed the subject.
…………
Bazaar's banquet was still not bad.
Lin Nan and Ning Hao's thickness of face was already the kind that didn't need to care about other people's gazes.
The two had already started, eating and chatting.
Liu Yifei and Xing Aina were much more refined; they had to pay attention to their demeanor.
"This steak is quite tender. Wife, if you don't eat it, give it to me?" Ning Hao commented, then said.
"Give it to you, give it to you, you're disgusting."
At this time, Su Mang walked onto the stage.
The main event of the Bazaar Charity Night began.
"The first auction item tonight, Tiffany gold diamond men's watch, starting bid 238,000 yuan..."
……
"So extravagant, not suitable for me. If it were a lady's, I could buy it to give to you."
Ning Hao said to Xing Aina flatteringly.
This made Lin Nan and Liu Yifei unable to help but want to laugh.
Very quickly, this watch was bought by someone for 450,000.
"The second auction item, Olympic opening ceremony commemorative book signed by Director Zhang Yimou, starting bid..."
Jackie Chan was indeed a big spender, spending one million to buy the auction item provided by Zhang Yimou.
When it came to various leather bags and handbags, the female stars at the scene were simply like they had gone crazy.
Even Ning Hao bought an LV bag to give to Xing Aina.
Liu Yifei didn't see anything she liked.
But Jing Tian's actions surprised Lin Nan.
Good guy, for every Hermes bag, Jing Tian raised the paddle!
In the end, she really bought three!
The prop armor Jackie Chan wore when filming *The Myth* was bought for 2.18 million.
A sandalwood palace model provided by Jackie Chan was bought for 3.99 million.
……
Lin Nan felt a bit emotional. With over a hundred stars coming, were they really just here to rub the red carpet and rub exposure? He doubted whether they would donate a little money before leaving at the end.
Jackie Chan was very generous tonight; he really both took out money and provided private collections for auction.
After waiting for a long time, he finally waited for the evening dress Liu Yifei had taken a fancy to several days ago.
"The next auction item, Armani multi-color printed high-end evening dress, starting bid 180,000 yuan."
When this dress was displayed, Lin Nan could feel that Liu Yifei instantly got into the spirit.
Inside the black gauze, it was an evening dress with various flower patterns; it was indeed very beautiful.
If worn on Liu Yifei's body, the snow-white skin...
"Brother Jackie, 200,000 once."
"Miss Fan Bingbing, 210,000."
"Miss Vivian Hsu, 220,000."
"Miss Zhang Ziyi, 230,000, once."
……
"Miss Jing Tian, 260,000."
"Miss Liu Yifei, 280,000 once."
……
There were quite a few people watching the fun.
This high-end evening dress was indeed beautiful, but only first-tier female stars could afford to spend this money.
"Jing Tian..."
"Liu Yifei..."
"Jing Tian..."
"Liu Yifei..."
……
"Lin Zi, are young girls so fierce now?"
Ning Hao nudged Lin Nan with his elbow and asked softly.
Lin Nan was quite nervous at this moment, but he didn't know why he was nervous; he was just very confused.
Just as he was about to answer Ning Hao, he heard Su Mang speak on stage.
"Lin Dao Nan, 520,000 once."
Lin Nan was really confused now; did he have auditory hallucinations?
Looking back, he saw Liu Yifei raising his number 8 plate.
The venue instantly went silent.
"Lin Dao Nan, 520,000 twice."
……
"Tiantian?"
"Uncle Lu, forget it..."
……
"Lin Nan" thus successfully auctioned the high-end evening dress Liu Yifei liked.
The girl smiled, stepped on crystal high heels, went on stage, and took a photo with her multi-color printed evening dress and the host.
"Lin Nan, your number 8 plate is quite useful! Hehe..."
"You talk too much..."
After Liu Yifei went off stage, the charity auction continued.
Ning Hao bought a pair of jade earrings again; he was quite good at handling things.
Quite a few things didn't sell, but jewelry and high-end dresses didn't.
Jackie Chan was really ruthless. Finally, when he was in the mood, he took off the watch on his wrist, the pendant on his neck, and took off his clothes on the spot. As a result, someone really bought them...
…………
This Bazaar Charity Night was over.
Lin Nan finally donated another 500,000; it seemed this year it was donated to poor children with serious illnesses, just a little bit of heart...
Zhou Xun walked over. "Lin Dao, you hid deep enough back on the *Painted Skin* set, let me take a look at this little sister."
"Oh my, this little hand, really smooth and tender, haha." Zhou Xun held Liu Yifei's hand, acting like a female hooligan.
Liu Yifei just smiled, thinking this big flower was very fun.
"Keep an eye on your Lin Dao, maybe one day he'll be lost." Zhou Xun winked, teasing.
"Won't happen, can't be lost." Liu Yifei smiled confidently.
"I'm saying it, Xun-ge, did you drink again just now?"
Lin Nan said unhappily.
"Just drank two glasses, red wine only."
At this time, Zhou Xun's assistant ran over hurriedly. "Lin Dao, sorry. Xun-ge, we have to go back, you drank quite a bit..."
……
……
Watching the two walk away, Liu Yifei curiously asked Lin Nan: "Is she this personality?"
"That's right, like a boy. Let's go too."
"Mm, okay."
Lin Nan felt that there was a gaze watching him from behind.
A feeling of thorns on his back. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
