Chapter 381: Shining Debut (1)

Lu Weixi had attended the banquet five years ago, then as Qin Zhigu's girlfriend. The charity banquet was a gathering of reputable figures in society, and no one would hesitate to spend money. There were two options: direct donation or contributing auction items which they themselves would buy back afterward. Auction items would be labeled as "donated by XXX". Ordinary people generally wouldn't bid on these items.

Qin Zhiyou, as stingy as he was, took part in this event not only to maintain relationships but for another vital reason too. The event was organized by the government; donations would be pooled into a government-designated charity fund and managed collectively. The top donors of the night would not only get the honor of opening the subsequent ball but also receive some tax relief in the following fiscal year. That's why there were hardly any film or TV stars present - attending came with a high cost and slight benefit, and hence was not worth it for them.
