The highlight of the charity banquet is the auction.
Many celebrities donate collectibles, openly bidding, which has become a custom regardless of whether the items are valuable or not; it's all about the owner's status.
Even a painting of a chick pecking rice, as long as it's from a big shot, can be bid up to millions by the wealthy.
Elise Don held the invitation card from Fenton, sitting at a scattered table. Such high-class events had nothing to do with her, so she remained detached throughout, her thoughts wandering.
Like Elise Don, those seated nearby were all small company owners, over forty, none missing the opportunity to distribute their business cards to the larger groups.
The surrounding seats were all empty.
Elise Don was zoning out until she heard the decisive sound from above—
"Angkor kiln, jade Buddha statue, won by the Yamato Group, Mr. Harris. Congratulations to Mr. Harris..."
The room was filled with applause.
