Bab 283: Chapter 283: Avoiding You Becoming a Fool_1

Since the "charity dinner" card had been played, naturally there had to be charity.

In this kind of game that resembled socialites playing house, auctioning was the most convenient, direct, and effective method of engagement.

Typically, the items up for charity auction were not particularly precious, usually sentimental keepsakes or collectibles. Wealthy people would buy them at high prices, thus gaining both reputation and the appearance of good taste—a win-win situation.

The focus of this evening's dinner was to celebrate the Emperor's birthday through charity and love, so most of the auction items were donations from the people of Fusang, with the remaining being artworks gifted by related departments of Han Country as gestures of friendship.

And now, the bronze hairpin being auctioned on stage was brought forth by the Counselor of the Consulate, a donation from the Furukawa Family, said to be the work of a Great Fusang Craftsman and a relic of the Counselor's grandmother.
