tonight.
A low-key promotion banquet was held in the capital.
He was a deputy who was promoted to the top position in charge of the entertainment industry.
Bai Lu now knew who this "official" was.
A new broom sweeps clean, and given the rampant corruption in the entertainment industry, the first thing to do is to rectify the atmosphere within the industry.
But the entertainment industry is a huge collective pie; if it gets too hot, it's easy to get burned.
We have to take it one step at a time.
Therefore, this official's low-key approach was to send invitations to the top three companies in the domestic film and television industry, media industry, and music industry—the three major giants—to attend a "Hongmen Banquet" and give them a warning.
It's okay if you don't come.
If any event occurs that is detrimental to social stability or social harmony, it will stir up a huge storm online.
When the authorities want to select one or two top celebrities from the entertainment industry to expose their private scandals in order to divert public attention.
If your company's top celebrity is randomly selected and exposed, and then loses all global endorsements, all movies and TV series they've starred in, all those currently airing or awaiting review are taken down, don't cry and beg for mercy.
Bai Lu remembered that this unassuming uncle had said this to her the night before:
"Lulu, come with your uncle to see how he uses foul language... ptooey! How he uses the most common and friendly official language to both intimidate the big shots without ruining the whole pie."
Bai Lu refused on the spot: "I'm not going. I won't be able to eat two bowls of rice if I'm having dinner with a bunch of big shots."
My uncle said, "Who said we can't finish? It's not like we're only having one table; it's a small private dinner. Your aunt is going, as are some of my colleagues, and there's also a relative of your aunt's, She Lixia, whom you know..."
"You can sit at a table with whomever you want. And also! When I'm talking, you can observe the big shots' micro-expressions and various small gestures, and try to guess their psychological activities. This can be of great help to your hypnotic abilities, which you want to improve as quickly as possible..."
Bai Lu and her aunt went.
As a result, the car broke down on the overpass.
And at that time, it was during the evening rush hour.
My aunt's car had only been parked for a short while when a long line of cars formed in front of and behind it, stretching as far as the eye could see.
I can't go to the dinner.
Bai Lu and her aunt could only eat snacks and drink fruit juice while watching the live broadcast of the promotion banquet in the car.
They waited for the traffic police to come to their rescue.
"Bang--"
The sound of a car rear-ending another interrupted Bailu's memories, and 8888 came into view...
The license plate number of the CEO's car.
Yun Ruolin, who was in the car, was terrified. She probably didn't mean to rear-end the car, but rather to step on the brakes.
Because I was too nervous, I accidentally stepped on the gas.
Bai Lu remembered that when Yun Ruolin first saw Xiao Cheng's car, her expression was one of astonishment.
Yun Ruolin had looked at Xiao Cheng's schedule that morning.
Xiao Cheng will not be attending the banquet tonight; his chief secretary will attend in his place.
Among the ten fastest-growing industries under the Xiao Group is the film and television industry.
With its position firmly among the top three in the domestic film and television industry, receiving an invitation from its uncle is perfectly normal.
But now, rear-end collisions...
The president, who was originally not going to the banquet but had been persuaded to attend by the chief secretary for some unknown reason, only to have such a bad rear-end collision happen on the way, darkened his face and stared at Yun Ruolin with a gloomy gaze.
Yun Ruolin apologized sincerely and explained, "I went to a friend's birthday party on Jinghuai Road. My friend called to ask when I would arrive, and I was in such a hurry..."
The chief secretary also tried to smooth things over, saying, "President Xiao, Director Yun just made a mistake. Let's change cars. We're in a hurry; the banquet is about to start."
Xiao Cheng raised his hand to look at his watch.
He must be in a hurry, he coldly glanced at the scratched rear of the car.
And then, Yun Ruolin crashed into the front of the car, which was covered in scratches, and left without saying a word.
Yun Ruolin understood Xiao Cheng's meaning: restore the car to its original condition and return it to him.
That's quite considerate of our partners and employees.
After Xiao Cheng left in another car, Yun Ruolin immediately called someone to repair and repaint the car.
Afterwards, they took another car and returned the way they came, and the people they had brought with them were also dismissed.
Bai Lu guessed correctly; Yun Ruolin meant to step on the brake but accidentally stepped on the accelerator.
Xiao Cheng changed his mind and went to the banquet. Yun Ruolin didn't dare to bring anyone along, fearing it would backfire.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
The girls' dormitory building of the School of Software at Guangdong University.
Xuan Tong and Yun Ruolin had an appointment today, but when they went downstairs, Shang Chuyao and Qin Feiyu blocked their way.
"Is Xuan Tong free?"
After asking, Qin Feiyu didn't care whether the other person was available or not, and with a big smile, he arranged: "Xuantong and Shang Chuyao, go to the library together and help organize the books."
Xuan Tong hesitated for a moment, wanting to refuse.
Shang Chuyao spoke first: "Go ahead, Xuan Tong. You don't have many friends usually. Come with me to the library to help organize books. There are other classmates there. You can make friends and chat about studying while organizing books. If you work together, you'll get it organized quickly."
Like Bai Lu, Qin Feiyu had a standard fake smile: "Xuan Tong won't refuse, will he?"
Xuan Tong was unaware that her last meeting with Yun Ruolin in the maple forest by Summer Moon Lake had been seen by Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao, who were on the mountain picking calming herbs.
She assumed she had just left at the wrong time, but the student council president personally spoke up, so she had no choice but to help.
Xuan Tong originally thought that with Shang Chuyao's suggestion of multiple people working together, the books would be sorted out in a long time.
I only realized it when I arrived.
That's not the case at all.
The huge library only had one cleaning lady mopping the floor, one staff member dusting with a feather duster, and one...
