Chapter 2202

Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most prosperous commercial centers in Hong Kong and also a shopping paradise.

According to Liu Manqiong, she and her classmates have been holding a charity sale in the central area of Tsim Sha Tsui commercial street for the past few days.

According to everyone's original division of labor, she was supposed to come tomorrow, but she happened to be called home from school by Liu Jiahui at noon. She also promised to take Ye Chen around this afternoon, so she simply brought the items prepared for the charity sale and delivered them along the way.

Moreover, Liu Manqiong really didn't know where to take Ye Chen. Most of her time was spent between home and school, and besides doing some charity work, she had no entertainment activities, so asking her to be Ye Chen's tour guide was like asking a blind person to lead the way. So she simply busied herself with her own affairs and brought Ye Chen along.

Ye Chen had come to Hong Kong a few times when he was young. He felt that because Hong Kong's area was too small, there were too many people, too many cars, and the streets were mostly narrow and cramped, so he wasn't interested in Hong Kong's tourism resources himself, so he planned to follow Liu Manqiong around to see things.

Liu Manqiong drove the car into the parking lot of a shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, and then she and Ye Chen got out of the car together.

Ye Chen went to the back of the car like a gentleman and opened the trunk to help Liu Manqiong get her personal items.

At this moment, an all-black Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped in front of Liu Manqiong's Tesla. The driver's side window rolled down, and a young man in a suit with his hair combed perfectly said with surprise, "Manqiong, aren't you coming tomorrow? Why are you here now?"

Liu Manqiong frowned slightly and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

The other party smiled, "I heard that you at HKU are holding a charity sale, so I thought I'd come to show my support. I heard you were coming tomorrow, and I didn't want to appear too deliberate, so I came early today. I didn't expect you to be early too; it's truly fate!"

Liu Manqiong asked again, "How did you know I was coming tomorrow?"

The young man, known as Young Master Zhong, said with a smile, "I happened to pass by here at noon and saw your HKU school badge and volunteers. So I went over and asked, and learned that it was a charity sale organized by you, so I asked them when you were coming. They told me you were coming tomorrow. You know me; I don't like to be too proactive, so I thought I'd go home, get a few watches, and donate them before you arrived. I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."

As he spoke, he hurriedly said flatteringly, "Oh, right, Manqiong. To support your HKU charity sale, I brought a few Patek Philippe and Rolex watches to show my support. There are two Nautiluses and three Daytonas. The total value is about four million."

Liu Manqiong said with a cold expression, "I'm sorry, Young Master Zhong, we are only selling some small, idle personal items here, and the highest unit price doesn't exceed 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. These items of yours are too valuable, and it's hard to sell them on such an occasion. Thank you for your kindness."

Young Master Zhong waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Even though they are watches worth over four million, we can mark them at three million. The price is a bargain; I believe they will be snapped up soon."

As he spoke, he deliberately winked at Liu Manqiong and smiled, "I'm doing this to show my support for you. A charity sale organized and called for by the famous Liu Manqiong—if there aren't a few valuable items, it really wouldn't be appropriate. Don't you agree?"

Liu Manqiong shook her head and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, but the reason I organized the charity sale is that I hope to make charity work more grounded, lower the threshold for charity, and allow more people to participate. After these valuable items of yours enter, they will instead dampen the enthusiasm of ordinary people to participate in charity, so it's better not to."

Young Master Zhong hurriedly said, "Manqiong, if you think it's inappropriate, then I can donate money. How about 10 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Liu Manqiong said, "Donations are no problem. Our charity foundation has a notarized account; you can transfer money directly to the account. At the same time, you can note whether you want to donate anonymously or under your real name. If it's an anonymous donation, we will write 'enthusiastic citizen,' and if it's a real-name donation, we will write your name."

As she spoke, Liu Manqiong added, "However, since Young Master Zhong doesn't like to be too proactive and deliberate, I think it's more appropriate for you to choose an anonymous donation."

Young Master Zhong's expression suddenly became a bit ugly.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of Liu Manqiong not coming today to show off first.

Once a few valuable watches were taken out, he estimated that the volunteers here would be in an uproar, and while they looked at him with admiration, they would certainly contact Liu Manqiong immediately. By then, he could still pull off a passive show-off in front of Liu Manqiong.

When he suddenly ran into Liu Manqiong just now, he even thought that heaven was helping him; this was the perfect chance to show off without being obvious.

But he didn't expect Liu Manqiong to be so unappreciative of his efforts.

She even dug a hole for him in just a few sentences.

Now he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off; if he didn't want to lose face, he could only honestly fulfill the 10 million Hong Kong dollar donation, and it had to be an anonymous donation as Liu Manqiong said.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Liu Manqiong said indifferently, "If Young Master Zhong regrets it, it doesn't matter; just pretend I didn't say anything."
