Long Tianjue did not expect Li Sisi to donate so much; originally, he thought his precise one million might make this beauty look at him more.

"Sorry, Miss Sisi will not be accepting any interviews at this event. We hope you understand, and we will hold a press conference tomorrow where you can ask any questions directly."

Li Sisi suddenly donated thirty million, naturally drawing the attention of on-site media eager to ask questions. Feng Feifei, with her experienced skills, promptly stepped in to block them.

After the donation, it was time for the auction.

The so-called auction was simply individuals bringing out their family's antique collection and donating all the money they raised through the auction.

Antiques and curiosities have collectible value, and in a place like Capital City, there are naturally many enthusiasts for such things.

Just one painting can sell for over five million, showing how high the caliber of this charity fundraiser is.

"This is the collection donated voluntarily by Long Group's Long Tianjue— a pair of White Jade Blue and White Porcelain, weighing 754 grams, 20 cm in height. The bottle mouth diameter is 5 cm. Starting auction price is three million, with increments of one million each time... The auction now starts..."

"I really like these little items the most, but considering Miss Sisi, I will let them go."

"Haha, Mr. Long is truly considerate, but this isn't about my face; it's about contributing to charity, regardless of personal connections." Li Sisi immediately dismissed the attempt to curry favor directed at her.

"Yes, yes, I misspoke." After saying this, Long Tianjue raised his hand, clearly wanting to participate in the bidding himself.

"Eight million, Mr. Long Tianjue bids eight million. Is there a higher bid? If so, please raise your offer. Eight million once, eight million twice, eight million thrice, sold..."

This was beyond Long Tianjue's expectations; he had casually raised his hand just to show off his elegance to the beauty, but did not anticipate no one would outbid him. Buying a vase that originally belonged to him for eight million? And all the eight million would be donated? Such a loss.

"Impressive."

"Haha, for charity, for charity indeed." The bitterness in Long Tianjue's heart was undeniable, yet he had to maintain a smiling face in front of Li Sisi.

The ongoing auction became increasingly exciting, with celebrities also putting up items for bid. Though not items with inherent collectible value, they included extra incentives.

For example, if someone won their bid on her item, she would give them something personal, such as a collection of candid selfies.

These uniquely flavored auctions gave the young gentlemen a chance to showcase their skills.

Soon, many actresses noticed the effective results of such auctions and followed suit.

What they were unaware of was this being Long Tianjue's purposeful arrangement; he hoped Li Sisi would also add a condition when auctioning her collection, no matter what it was, so he could definitely win it over.

Some businessmen also included contracts beside their auction items, indicating that winning their collections would earn them the contract, signifying successful cooperation— a win-win for both sides.

When it reached the point of Li Sisi's collection, everyone started to clamor up.

Being the focus tonight—no, owing to Li Sisi's status, she became the focus wherever she went.

Everyone added a condition to their items, so everyone unanimously believed Li Sisi must also add a condition. Of course, whatever the condition was, it was up to Li Sisi, and bidding was your own decision.

At this moment, Li Sisi showed a difficult expression; she didn't have any personal, cherished selfies or memorabilia to show, and even if she had them, they wouldn't be appropriate here. If it were all her signed albums, she couldn't easily take them out at such an occasion. After all, these were businessmen, not her fans.

Thus, Li Sisi found herself in a dilemma.

"How about whoever wins this item, Miss Li Sisi agrees to accompany them for a private dinner?"

This unknown voice suddenly emerged, and upon hearing it, many young gentlemen cheered.

Li Sisi wasn't just a regular celebrity; an excessive condition wouldn't be there, but having dinner alone invited plenty of conversation.

In response, Li Sisi reluctantly agreed. Given the client's face involved, it seemed an unfulfilled condition wasn't an option.

"This time, the item offered by Miss Li Sisi is a musical instrument—a guzheng. This guzheng is rumored to have been used by Li Shishi back then, with patterns carved from imperial collections, preserved in excellent condition, and all gems intact without the slightest damage. The market price is no less than thirty million. The item's starting auction price is: twelve million. The condition added is that whoever wins it will have a private dinner with Miss Li Sisi. Such a golden opportunity, what are you waiting for?"

The auctioneer also took this chance to make light-hearted jokes. Creating a relaxed atmosphere at such a moment is excellent.

"Fifteen million."

"Seventeen million."

"Eighteen million..."

"Twenty-five million."

"Thirty million..."

"Thirty-two million..."

In a blink of an eye, the auction price had already far exceeded the market price.

This made Li Sisi wrinkle her eyebrows slightly; she initially just wanted to contribute to the charity but now felt she was no different than those who put themselves out for sale.

It's just that she was selling herself for dinner with someone, an expensive price, which must be different, yet she couldn't bring herself happiness.

"Thirty-eight million..." Long Tianjue finally spoke; this item, he definitely wanted to obtain.

Once Long Tianjue spoke, many people didn't dare continue opposing, though some persistent rich sons kept raising the bids.

"Forty-two million..."

At this point, everyone's voices halted, realizing Long Tianjue was determined to win this bid.

"Forty-two million once..."

"Forty-five million..."

Who was it? Who suddenly shouted from behind? Who has the audacity to compete for limelight with Long Family's Long Tianjue? Even for attention, is forty million something anyone can casually take out?

The voice attracted everyone's gaze, and when Li Sisi saw the person, her once troubled face finally revealed a quiet and charming smile.
