Chapter 704 Zhao Xiaodao

After Huang Bo finished singing, Huang Xiaoming immediately followed with another song. Don't misunderstand, it wasn't "Nao Tai Tao" (a popular Chinese song). It was "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (a Chinese New Year song).

After the two finished singing, Shen Fang waved to them, and they came over. It was up to them to pour the drinks. Don't underestimate the task of pouring drinks; everyone present was a future billionaire. Shen Fang was giving them a chance to make the big shots remember them.

This will be a valuable resource in the future. Not to mention anything else, when brands need spokespeople, they will give priority to these two.

After dinner, in the private karaoke room, the girl Ding Sanshi was looking forward to arrived. Of course, Shen Fang wouldn't find girls himself; the female artists from Longteng were his own.

However, there was someone readily available. They greeted the two Chinese brothers, who were overjoyed and brought all the Chinese female celebrities to the event.

What?! Ma Baozi, Little Deer, Liu Yun, Huo Siyan, Mao Junjie, Gong Xinliang, An Yixuan, Li Lianhua, Dong Xuan, Hu Ke, Qin Shupei, Luo Haiqiong... More than 40 people showed up, all of them somewhat famous, at least third-tier female artists.

The talent for creating stars among Chinese Americans is truly remarkable, it has to be said.

The powerful figures present were truly amazed by the diverse figures, elegant demeanor, and captivating charm of the female celebrities.

Lei Jun swallowed hard. He had seen several of them on TV before. Weren't they all big shots? They were all so incredibly skilled! He'd really seen something new today!

The corrupt capitalist lifestyle, here I come!!!

Ding Sanshi gave a thumbs up: "It has to be you, Master Shen! You were spot on!!!"

Shen Fang rolled his eyes in disdain, looking at the two big shots who all had rosy and glowing complexions and looked a little embarrassed. He smiled slightly. At this time, the big shots were just starting out and had not yet learned about the life of a life of luxury and debauchery.

Shen Fang gave Wang Ershao a wink, the meaning was clear: you're an expert in this area, set an example for everyone.

Wang Ershao glanced at her and went straight to Gong Xinliang. He took her hand and they went to the side to drink some wine. They chatted intimately, touching her hand and talking about trivial things. Before long, Gong Xinliang was amused and covered her mouth to laugh, leaning against Wang Ershao's chest.

With a sample, the rest is self-explanatory...

Shen Fang looked with interest at the chubby-faced little girl beside him. The little girl looked around nervously, then at the pile of delicious food on the table, feeling both tempted and a little embarrassed.

"May I have your name?"

Upon hearing this, the chubby-faced man immediately replied, "My name is Zhao Xiaodao."

Shen Fang looked at Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, who were flattering the big boss, and asked, "Is this your newly signed artist?"

Wang Zhonglei glanced at the chubby-faced man, and after a long silence, finally said uncertainly, "I guess so."

Shen Fang... Damn it, don't you know if he's an artist from your company?

Did you not eat anything when you arrived?

Zhao Xiaodao nodded sheepishly. She hadn't even known why she was there before her manager dragged her along, telling her it was a great opportunity to make a name for herself and to perform well. Only after arriving did she realize it was a drinking party.

This was the first time Zhao Xiaodao had encountered such a scene, and he was quite scared at first. However, half an hour passed, and it didn't seem to be as he had imagined. They were just chatting and laughing and drinking, without any of the unspoken rules he had expected.

Shen Fang picked up his champagne glass: "Shall we have a drink?"

Zhao Xiaodao carefully raised his glass and clinked it against Shen Fang's: "President Shen, I'd like to toast you."

Shen Fang smiled: "You know me?"

"I'm your fan!!!"

Sinking Square?

"ha???"

"I watched your performance in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, you were so handsome!!! I became a fan of yours immediately."

Chen Fang... Good heavens... He ran into a fan while drinking with someone. Where can he go to reason with this?

"Ahem, Brother Bin, have someone get you something to eat. The young lady hasn't eaten anything yet."

Huang Bin, who was pouring wine, immediately nodded and left the private room.

Zhao Xiaodao was very touched. "This big boss is so kind. He truly deserves to be my idol."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "How old are you?"

"I am 19 years old this year."

"Call me 'brother' from now on."

Zhao Xiaodao glanced at Chen Fang: "Brother?"

Shen Fang laughed loudly: "Hey, good boy."

Li Lianhua, standing to the side, chuckled: "Oh, so our CEO Shen has taken on a younger sister? Little Zhao, aren't you about to take off? CEO Shen can just arrange things for you and you'll be famous."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaodao looked at Shen Fang with anticipation. Fire—that was her dream.

Shen Fang patted Zhao Xiaodao's head: "I think you have the look of a star. I'll arrange things for you, I'll definitely make you famous."

Li Lianhua was speechless. She was just joking; the "adopted brothers" and "adopted sisters" in the entertainment circle were all just jokes. Who would take them seriously once they were out in public? She never expected Chen Fang to actually do it. This round-faced girl has a celebrity look? She has no chest, no butt, no fame, and no pretty face; she's just young.

So this is what a leap to success looks like? If not this little girl, then what makes her so special?

The Chinese-American female celebrities standing nearby began to feel envious and jealous.

"President Shen, why don't you recognize me as your younger sister too?"

Shen Fang looked at Li Lianhua: "Sister Lianhua, stop joking around, you're much older than me."

Lianhua smiled and said, "I'd be willing. If President Shen would support me, I'd be willing to be anything, let alone a younger sister." With that, Li Lianhua winked at Shen Fang. Everything was understood without words.

Cough cough... I have a fever...

A short while later, Huang Bin came in carrying a steak.

"Eat."

Zhao Xiaodao glanced at Shen Fang, then looked to the side.

Shen Fang patted the little round face on the head: "Eat."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaodao stopped being polite. She hadn't eaten breakfast and was starving.

With a flurry of movements, he pounced like a tiger, and in less than 3 minutes, a large steak was gone. He's definitely a glutton.

After speaking with Wang Zhonglei, Zhao Xiaodao was signed to Longteng, and Wang Zhonglei agreed without hesitation.

Shen Fang then arranged for Zhao Xiaodao to be placed with Huang Bin, who was Zhao Xiaodao's manager in her previous life. It really was fate.

After the drinks, a lavish banquet was arranged, with singing, dancing, and toasts. In the evening, we played a game of Three Kingdoms Kill for a while, and then the rest of the time was up to us.

Shen Fang said goodbye in advance. He didn't need any other female celebrities to accompany him, so he made up an excuse: his sister-in-law was in Beijing and he was going to visit her. He told them to have fun and that he would pay for everything.

As for the remaining PY transactions, figure them out yourself.
