Chapter 91

"Thank you, Reku Music, and thank Mr. Ou for his generous donation! Thank you!" Yan Yuxi expressed her gratitude.

The people in the audience also clapped and laughed, although this was a routine, they still gave enthusiastic applause for Reku Music's five million donation.

The second and third auction items were smoothly sold. The first few items were works by children who had received support from the Angel Charity Foundation. In terms of value, they could not compare to the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but their significance was extraordinary.

The first few bidders were all established singers, and almost none of the bids were less than six digits, with the lowest one selling for 200,000.

There was an unwritten rule at the charity auction: first-time participants must not leave empty-handed. The amount of money didn't matter, but they must not leave without bidding on something. Especially for newcomers, if they didn't bid on one or two items at their first such banquet, they would likely be portrayed by the media as lacking a sense of public duty the next day.

So when they arrived, Liu Jie specifically instructed Tang Feng to try to bid on an item. The same applied to Chu Ge and Liu Yanxi.

Gradually, the auction continued. Yan Yuxi maintained her sweet smile on stage, though she was already slightly sweating, she showed no signs of fatigue.

The auction continued.

"The next auction item is provided by Sister Mai Na. I would like to thank Sister Mai Na for her support in advance!" Yan Yuxi's gaze found Mai Na, and she smiled sweetly.

"You're too polite, Yuxi!" Mai Na also smiled and said.

"This is the handwritten score of Sister Mai Na's first song, 'Layered Waves.' It's a very meaningful item. There is no starting bid, and the auction begins now." Yan Yuxi got to the point.

At charity auctions, items generally have no reserve price, as it's difficult to set an appropriate starting bid based on the true value of the items.

Mai Na still had a certain influence in the industry, and several people quickly bid. Soon, Ye Tianlong raised his hand and bid 100,000!

Many people tactfully stopped competing with Ye Tianlong, clearly this auction item was prepared for Ye Tianlong by Mai Na.

Soon, Mai Na's manuscript was sold to Ye Tianlong for 100,000. This price was not high, but for a newcomer, it was a sincere gesture. Generally, even if a newcomer had money, they wouldn't bid too high to show respect to their seniors.

Next, Liu Yanxi and Chu Ge also bid and won their respective items, leaving only Tang Feng without a bid.

The auction was already halfway through, and Tang Feng knew he had to act.

The next item was a handmade craft provided by a singer, which was also quite meaningful.

"80,000!" Tang Feng made his first bid. The first bid usually indicates interest in the item, and several others also bid, quickly raising the price to 100,000.

"120,000!" Tang Feng made his second bid. Normally, if someone bids a second time, others wouldn't bid again. Tang Feng knew this unwritten rule, but an unexpected situation occurred.

"130,000! I really like this item. Could you let it go to me this time?" A singer suddenly looked at Tang Feng and smiled.

Since the other party was a senior and had said this, Tang Feng couldn't refuse. Besides, there were still more auction items, so he smiled and nodded, stopping his bid.

At first, Tang Feng thought the other party genuinely liked the craft, but as the auction continued, every time he bid, a celebrity would step in to outbid him. Even if Tang Feng was naive, he knew these people were targeting him. However, he had no connection with them, so why were they targeting him?

Tang Feng's gaze swept the room and quickly settled on Mai Na and Ye Tianlong. He saw Mai Na give him a mocking and disdainful look, while Ye Tianlong wore a smug expression. Tang Feng knew exactly what was going on.

At such charity banquets, there are usually limited auction items, and not everyone can win something. Generally, many people would give first-time participants the chance to bid, and such a scene as today's would not occur.

In fact, many people had already noticed that Tang Feng had bid twice on several items, but someone always outbid him. Clearly, there was something else going on, but since they weren't familiar with Tang Feng, they were happy to watch the show. As for what would happen to Tang Feng, it was none of their business.

"How can they be like this?" Liu Yanxi said indignantly.

"Master Feng, is it that bastard Ye Tianlong? It's all our fault, sigh..." Chu Ge said apologetically.

"Don't worry, it's fine!" Tang Feng smiled, but he was seething inside. Mai Na and Ye Tianlong, this despicable pair, had tried to frame him before, and now they were using such low tactics against him. Although these tactics were despicable, Tang Feng was temporarily at a loss.

Yan Yuxi on stage also slightly frowned, clearly sensing something unusual.

Auction items were sold one by one, and the remaining items were few. Tang Feng knew he couldn't just sit and wait. He believed that since the other party had made a move, they wouldn't let him off easily and would have more tricks up their sleeve.

"100,000!" Tang Feng bid on a wooden carving.

"150,000!" Someone quickly outbid him, adding 50,000.

"200,000!" Tang Feng raised his bid.

"210,000, I really like this wooden carving. Master Feng, could you give me a chance and let it go to me?" A middle-aged male singer smiled as he bid.

Tang Feng couldn't remember how many people had said similar things to him. This time, he wasn't going to give in. Being bullied and tolerating it wasn't his style. If the other party really liked the wooden carving, it would be different, but this was the nth time. They were relying on their seniority to bully him, thinking he was easy to push around.

"Senior, I'm afraid I can't comply. I also really like this wooden carving. Could you give me, a junior, a chance to do charity?" Tang Feng's retort made the senior singer's face turn red. Let it go, he had promised to help Mai Na, but if he didn't, Tang Feng had already said his piece. If he blocked him, wouldn't he be blocking someone from doing charity? He had no grudge against Tang Feng, just wanted to make Mai Na owe him a favor.

He thought it would be a simple task to help Mai Na, but he didn't expect Tang Feng to be so uncooperative.

The singer hesitated for a moment and naturally looked at Mai Na.
