At that moment, the black car stopped beside the red carpet, and the person in the back seat opened the door and slowly got out of the car.

The woman's dress had a white skirt, and she wore black stilettos that looked to be about 10cm high.

She got out of the car, revealing her entire dress to everyone. It featured a deep V-neck in the front and back, and was predominantly off-white. Her hands were gently placed in front of her.

Her face was full of smiles, and she looked so gentle and sweet that it was simply captivating.

She walked slowly forward with her head down, then stopped where Ming Jiayi had just stood. She raised her head and struck a few good poses for the photographer to take pictures.

"Xiang Wanqiu is one of this year's hottest actresses. If we can dig up some information about her love life, we can get a bonus too," the reporters whispered among themselves.

"It must be tough for her, right? She's so innocent, she doesn't have any scandals in the industry, she's a typical good girl."

"Where in the entertainment industry is anyone innocent? You're the innocent one!"

"Shh, shh, shh, be careful her fans don't hear you, or you'll get cyberbullied."

After taking the photos, Xiang Wanqiu lifted her skirt and walked into the venue.

As soon as she entered, the staff warmly surrounded her, saying, "Sister Wanqiu, you're here! Your seat is in the first row, let me show you there."

"Okay, thank you."

Ming Jiayi's status is still somewhat different from Xiang Wanqiu's, so she is seated in the third row, where she is sitting "dignifiedly" playing on her phone.

The order of events for this star-studded entertainment gala is as follows: celebrity performances, speeches by the event organizers, awards presentations, and finally, speeches by the grand prize winners.

Although it may not seem like there's much to do, the events usually last for four hours or more.

As public figures, they cannot and will not use their phones in this venue full of cameras, because they must maintain respect for the people on stage and for the organizers of the event.

But the ceremony hasn't officially started yet, so Ming Jiayi took the opportunity to browse Weibo for a while longer.

There's a link on Weibo that lets you watch the ceremony live, but most of the people who get caught on camera and put into the live stream are famous, influential, and popular figures.

Meanwhile, the official Weibo account for the "Star Entertainment Awards" also features many live uploads of photos taken just at the entrance.

Ming Jiayi found her own photo among a pile of pictures.

She quietly saved those already edited photos.

Beauty!

Love yourself first!

Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out.

The next second, it turned into two spotlights, shining on both sides of the stage.

The scene immediately fell silent. In the large hall with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, only the official, standard-pronounced, yet rhythmic and passionate Mandarin of the two hosts could be heard.

"Distinguished guests, dear audience members, good evening!"

"..."

"The 5th Star Entertainment Awards Ceremony is now officially beginning. First, let's welcome this year's most popular group, GTL, who are about to bring us a spectacular performance. Let's give them a round of applause!"

The host has finished their opening remarks.

The lights in the entire venue came on.

Ming Jiayi clapped her hands in agreement.

A dozen seconds later, the lights focused back on the stage.

Several handsome and young boys walked onto the stage, the background music started, and they began their performance.
