On the third day after Lu Wenxing returned to China, Wen Zheng's subsidiary went public, and a celebration was held in the five-star hotel owned by the Wen family.
There were many people attending the banquet that night. This kind of occasion is usually used for socializing, and most people who received an invitation would attend.
Lu Wenxing met Wen Yan at the banquet. He was handsome, wearing a suit, and looked very dignified, dressed like a successful elite, not as unreliable as Wen Zheng said.
"Really little star?"
Wen Yan came over and walked around Lu Wenxing. "At first glance, he is a member of our Wen family. He doesn't look like my eldest brother at all."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Those who have met three generations of the Wen family know that the Wen family's characteristics are inherited from the previous generation, but to those who are not aware of the situation, the Wen family members have very strong personalities, each of them is outstanding and handsome, but each of them looks different and no one resembles anyone else.
Even if Wen Yan and Wen Huaihe stood together, no one would treat them as brothers.
"My nephew is really good. He can lure you into my company even if he doesn't recognize you. As expected... is this what you call brotherly love?"
Wen Yan's words inexplicably deserved a beating, perhaps because of his nonchalant tone, or perhaps it was just the way he spoke.
Standing far away there was a cool and arrogant boss, but he instantly collapsed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Little Star, why don't you say..."
Before Wen Yan could finish his words, Wen Zheng came up and grabbed him by the back of his collar, "Why are you getting so close?"
"I can't touch my little nephew?"
Wen Yan's eyes widened, as if Wen Zheng's words were unacceptable. Then, in front of Wen Zheng, he poked Lu Wenxing's arm and poked Lu Wenxing's face.
"See? I'll touch it."
Lu Wenxing: “…” Wen Yan just turned three years old today.
Wen Zheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Wen Yan, "Don't pay attention to him, he's going crazy indirectly..."
"Wen Zheng, I heard it." Wen Yan gave him a resentful look, "You were so annoying when you were a kid. Every time Xingxing and I were having fun, you would come out to disturb us."
Wen Zheng sneered, "Shall I ask the security guard to come and play with you?"
“…”
"I suddenly remembered that I invited Mr. Jiang to come with me today. Xingxing, I can't play with you anymore. I'm going to go find Mr. Jiang first."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
"Will you join me later?"
Business conversations are inevitable in such occasions. If Lu Wenxing is interested, Wen Zheng would certainly be willing to take him along.
"I don't understand business matters, I just want to get to know other artists."
In addition to the CEOs of various industries, there are also celebrities from other fields, including stars from the entertainment industry.
"Okay, then if you feel tired later you can go to the room upstairs to rest."
Lu Wenxing nodded and asked Wen Zheng to do his own thing. He sat on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and looked up to see Song Jiajia walking in from the door.
As the top actress of Huayi Media, Song Jiajia often attends such banquets, sometimes with Wen Yan. She had a photo shoot in the afternoon, so she arrived late, and her agent Xu Rong also accompanied her.
As soon as Song Jiajia entered the room, she attracted countless eyes. Her sexy black dress was too eye-catching. Compared with her, the other female stars in the venue were instantly overshadowed.
"Sister Jia."
"Xingxing, you're here too?"
Song Jiajia didn't know that Lu Wenxing had already signed a contract with Huayi, so she was still surprised to see him appear at the Wen family's banquet.
The Wen family did not deliberately conceal Lu Wenxing's identity, but Lu Wenxing rarely appeared in the public eye. Those who knew him only knew that he was an artist, and those who didn't know him had no idea who he was at all.
Ji Yuan didn't want to let Lu Wenxing down, so she planned to find a suitable place to make Lu Wenxing's life story public.
"Well, I plan to sign Huayi."
Lu Wenxing did not explain too much, so Song Jiajia naturally assumed that Lu Wenxing received the invitation because he had signed a contract with Huayi.
"I wonder if Gu Yanshen will come."
"He also received an invitation?"
"Of course there is, but I don't know if he will come."
Song Jiajia and Gu Yanshen met quite often, but not in private. Instead, they met in public. Being invited to dinners or ceremonies was common in the entertainment industry.
If today wasn't a banquet hosted by Wen's Group, Song Jiajia would not have come. She had just finished her announcement and just wanted to go back and rest. Hua Yi was from Wen's Group, and their boss would attend, and other artists from the company would also attend.
"Then I'll send a WeChat message and ask."
"Yan Shen, there will be a social gathering of several major brands the day after tomorrow night, do you want to go?" Sheng Chao looked up at the announcement in the group and asked.
"No."
Gu Yanshen refused bluntly. He didn't like such occasions and would avoid them unless he had to.
"Okay, I'll refuse then."
Gu Yanshen put down the back seat, lay on the leather seat, and was eating pork belly for his tiger cub.
After another failed battle, Gu Yanshen suddenly sat up from his seat, "I have charged so much money, why hasn't my combat power improved yet?"
Sheng Chao: "…Kryptonian gold is not a panacea."
Gu Yanshen: "..."
There is a limit on the number of times you can play in the game. Ordinary players can play three times a day, and paying players can play ten times at most. After using up his last chance, Gu Yanshen stared at the big word "failure" on the screen with a depressed look on his face.
——Buzz.
The phone vibrated twice and several WeChat messages popped up in the notification bar.
Gu Yanshen clicked on it and found that it was a message from Lu Wenxing.
【ET】Location sharing
【ET】Jiajie and I are at Haicheng Hotel, will you come?
The last one was a photo of Lu Wenxing and Song Jiajia sitting on the sofa and eating small cakes. "Let's go to Haicheng Hotel."
"What?"
Sheng Chao sat in the passenger seat and turned his head in confusion. Usually, Gu Yanshen would be depressed for a while after failing in a game, but why did he sound... quite excited today?
"Teacher Gu, are you going to Haicheng Hotel? Then I'm going to make a U-turn." The driver was the company's driver, Xiao Li.
"right."
"Why are you going to Haicheng?" Sheng Chao was puzzled.
"I'm just going to the Wen family's cocktail party. Didn't you receive an invitation last week?"
Of course Sheng Chao remembered this incident. What puzzled him was that Gu Yanshen had already said he would not go, so why did he want to go today?
You rejected the brand so decisively just now, but now you suddenly change your mind?
"Don't you dislike attending this kind of party?"
Sheng Chao asked again and again, and Gu Yanshen raised his eyebrows, "Are you going on a date later?"
"No, no. I just promised Sisi that I would go out to dinner with her later."
Sheng Chao clearly distinguished between work and life, and would never fall in love when he was working. Mainly because he had asked Gu Yanshen last week, and Gu Yanshen said no, so he used the remaining time to ask Sisi out for dinner.
"Then you take her with you." Gu Yanshen thought for a moment and said, "Or you can go find her. It's a private trip anyway, so you don't have to follow me."
Sheng Chao was very conscientious as an agent. After a moment's hesitation, he chose the first option. "Then I'll talk to Sisi."
"Won't she be angry if her date is interrupted?"
"No, Sisi's internship next week happens to be at Huayi Media, so it would be helpful to take her to learn more about the Wen Group."
"Why don't you let her go to my studio? You can still take care of her."
"Although she is usually obedient, she is still very ambitious. If she wants to submit her resume herself, just let her do it."
Gu Yanshen and Mudan didn’t really understand how young lovers get along so he didn’t ask any more questions. If he asked too much he would just be feeding them dog food, which was unnecessary.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Wen Yu also arrived at the scene accompanied by Wang Man. He became popular in the past six months because of his new drama. He is no longer the little star he used to be. Wherever he goes, people call him "Brother Wen".
Less than ten minutes after entering the venue, many stars came to toast him, but Wen Yu did not show any impatience.
"I always thought Wen Yu's character was just an act, but I didn't expect him to be so kind."
"He is a really nice person. Those black fans who make up stories out of nothing are really disgusting."
There were once black fans who asserted that Wen Yu’s personality would definitely collapse, but until now, when he became extremely popular, his temperament is well-known in the entertainment industry for being calm and docile. Regardless of whether he treats small 18th-tier stars or seniors in the entertainment industry, Wen Yu treats them all equally.
I never flatter anyone, nor do I look down on anyone.
Fans know that Wen Yu comes from a well-off family and they all praise him for his good upbringing and good family education.
Seeing Lu Wenxing and Song Jiajia sitting in a small corner, Wen Yu walked over with a glass of wine.
"Xingxing, Sister Jiajia."
"So the Wen family invited you."
Song Jiajia clinked glasses with him and casually greeted him.
"I didn't expect to see Sister Jiajia again. What a coincidence." Wen Yu said and turned to Lu Wenxing.
"Welcome back, Star."
Wen Yu said welcome back, not welcome back to the country.
Song Jiajia didn't understand the subtext, but Lu Wenxing did. Wen Yu meant to welcome him back to the Wen family.
"Thanks."
Lu Wenxing responded calmly, and Wen Yu sat down opposite him.
"Are you used to living abroad?"
"good."
Without any worries, Lu Wenxing was able to communicate with Wen Yu frankly, although he didn't think he and Wen Yu would have any common topics.
Lu Wenxing was curled up on the sofa bored, looking down at his phone, when a message from Gu Yanshen came in.
【.】Where is it?
Lu Wenxing turned his head to look outside the door. Gu Yanshen was also looking for him. Their eyes met and Lu Wenxing waved at him.
"So lively?"
Gu Yanshen glanced at Wen Yu and Song Jiajia who were sitting opposite Lu Wenxing.
"I thought Brother Shen would not attend."
Gu Yanshen said nothing and sat next to Lu Wenxing. "Did the Wen family invite you too?"
"Yes, I signed with Huayi." Lu Wenxing answered Gu Yanshen's words, and then greeted the two people standing, "Brother Sheng Chao, Siyu, good evening."
"Good evening, stars."
Ever since he saw Wen Yu, Qin Siyu's eyes have been on him. He always felt that Wen Yu looked very similar to the brother Xiaoyu in his memory, but Wen Yu seemed to have no impression of him at all.
Qin Siyu didn't know whether she recognized the wrong person or Brother Xiaoyu had forgotten her.
"Hello, Wen Yu." Qin Siyu greeted Wen Yu specifically.
Wen Yu responded with a smile, "Hello."
Lu Wenxing suddenly remembered that Qin Siyu had asked him about Wen Yu last time. Today, Wen Yu was right in front of her, so why didn't he ask? Was it because it was difficult to ask in front of so many people?
Perhaps it was because Qin Siyu's gaze was too direct, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is there something on my face?"
"I'm sorry, you look a lot like a friend of mine." Qin Siyu explained and spoke carefully, "His name is Xiaoyu..."
Wen Yu smiled at him and said, "You've got the wrong person. Maybe his name is a bit similar to mine. But I really don't know you."
"Don't you know him?"
Wen Zheng walked over at some point, and Qin Siyu turned around and called out, "Boss Wen."
"Miss Qin is really thinking about you."
Wen Yu's face froze, "I really don't know this Miss Qin."
"She may have forgotten to introduce herself. Her name is Qin Siyu, and her nickname is... Sisi."
A trace of panic flashed across Wen Yu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"So you are Sisi."
"It's been a long time since we last met. You've grown up into a big girl." Wen Yu's face immediately showed joy. "I didn't expect to see you again. What a coincidence."
"Brother Xiaoyu, have you changed your name? Why haven't you returned to Fu for a long time..."
Qin Siyu paused and suddenly realized that Wen Yu was a star. It would not be good if he mentioned his background in public and was heard by someone with ulterior motives.
Lu Wenxing saw that Qin Siyu had something to say, so he stood up from the sofa and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'm going to eat something." Song Jiajia also stood up.
Gu Yanshen came to find Lu Wenxing. After Lu Wenxing left, he had no intention of sitting down. Knowing that Sheng Chao would accompany Qin Siyu, Gu Yanshen made a gesture to him and went to another place to wait for Lu Wenxing.
…
Wen Yu just felt a headache. He never thought that the girl in front of him would be Qin Siyu, and he never expected that after going around in circles, Qin Siyu would run into the Wen family again.
Ever since Lu Wenxing signed with Mango Orange Entertainment, the plot has been out of control. This shouldn't be the case. Wen Yu's hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously.
The waiter came over and said, "Mr. Wen, your father wants you to come over."
Wen Zheng responded and left with the waiter. He had no interest in watching Wen Yu acting here, and with Sheng Chao, a sensible man here, Wen Yu would not do anything to Qin Siyu.
Qin Siyu didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong. She was happy to see Wen Yu and to know that Wen Yu was Xiaoyu from back then.
There were many people at the banquet, so Qin Siyu did not mention the past. "Brother Xiaoyu, can you add me on WeChat? It's not convenient to talk here. I want to chat with you when I have time."
As soon as Wen Zheng left, Wen Yu felt relieved.
"OK."
He put on a proper smile, took out his phone and added Qin Siyu on WeChat, "Then we'll contact each other later. I'll be leaving for now."
Watching Wen Yu leave, Qin Siyu muttered in a low voice, "It's so strange, why do I feel that Brother Xiaoyu doesn't seem very happy to see me?"
"Haven't we added each other on WeChat? Let's talk about it later if there is anything." Sheng Chao comforted her. What she didn't say was that Wen Yu did give people a feeling that he was not real.
Wen Yu walked out of the lobby and went to the garden behind the hotel. The night breeze blew across his face, but his depressed mood did not ease at all.
He walked towards the dark place where no one was, looking at the beautiful flowers in the dark night, he stretched out his fingers towards the flower path, tightened his fingers hard, and pulled it up by the roots.
If Qin Siyu hadn’t appeared suddenly, Wen Yu would have almost forgotten that his original nickname was Xiaoyu.
The smile on Wen Yu's face was replaced by cruelty, and under the dim light, his fair face looked a little scary.
People who know Wen Yu’s background might think that he is jealous of the lost child of the Wen family, but in fact, the person he is jealous of is Sisi.
No one knows that Wen Yu is not actually from this world.
No one would know that this world is actually a novel written by an author with the pen name Feng Changchang, and the title of the book is "The Most Popular Top Star".
When Wen Yu first saw this novel, he had no interest in the protagonist's smooth life. In Wen Yu's opinion, this was just a silly and sweet love story.
The protagonist of the novel is called Wen Chi, the youngest son of the Wen family, the richest family in City C. He has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child, and he has an older brother who is obsessed with his younger brother and protects him everywhere.
After growing up, she joined Huayi Media, a subsidiary of Wen Group, and began her smooth acting career. She was also lucky to partner with movie emperor Gu Yanshen. The two fell in love during the filming and finally lived happily together.
Wen Yu doesn't like men, and has no interest in BL novels. The reason why he keeps reading is...
There is a supporting character in the novel named Qin Sisi.
She and Wen Yu were both abandoned babies.
But she was luckier than Wen Yu because she was taken home by Ji Yuan and became the third daughter of the Wen family.
She has a driver to pick her up when she goes out, wears beautiful clothes every day, eats rich food, attends an aristocratic school, and is pursued by a group of people.
But why should she do that?
They are both orphans, so why is Wen Sisi luckier than him?
I don’t know if it was because his resentment was too deep or what, but when Wen Yu woke up, he found himself in this novel. Coincidentally, he and Sisi, who was not yet the third daughter of the Wen family, were in the same orphanage.
The boy named Xiaoyu left this world long after he fell into the water.
Wen Yu felt that this was his chance.
But he never expected that, as also adopted, Qin Sisi was brought up in pampered condition. Some of the properties and shares under her name were given by the Wen family. Even her wedding ceremony was organized by the Wen family, which was grand and splendid. It even became a hot topic on the Internet.
And he...
Nothing.
He has no shares or properties, and the Wen family only gives him money.
Wen Sisi can get it? Why can't he?
"Sir, why are you here alone?"
The voice behind him made Wen Yu regain his sanity instantly. When he turned around, Wen Yu had regained his gentle expression.
"I drank too much and feel a little dizzy."
"Do you want me to help you get some rest?"
"No, thank you."
The waiter watched Wen Yu leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw a pile of precious flower seeds that had been uprooted. His face suddenly changed.
…
"I've always found it strange that Wen Yu didn't work hard in the Wen family's company, but went to the entertainment industry. It turns out that he is not favored at all."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Wen Yu is not even on the Wen family's household registration book."
"Keep your voice down. Do you want to be kicked out for discussing the Wen family's gossip on their territory?"
"I checked, there's no one in the cubicle. It was my dad who insisted that I come along, even though he knew I hated this kind of socializing. Everyone has a 'mask' on their face, and it's so hypocritical."
The young man complained and continued.
"I've heard from my dad before that Wen Yu got the Wen family's sympathy because he injured his leg. After knowing that he could be cured, the Wen family found him a pretty good new home. It was the Xu family in City A. The family was well-off, and the couple couldn't have children. If Wen Yu went there, he would be an only child. But Wen Yu refused to leave. Why do you think so?"
"You've drunk too much, so say less. Wen Yucai was only a child at that time, so how could he understand so much? You just listened to him. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. What if you are..."
Lu Wenxing didn't expect to listen to gossip, he just wanted to wash his hands. Seeing that people were discussing gossip as if no one was around, Lu Wenxing was about to turn around and leave, but he was caught off guard and bumped into Gu Yanshen's arms.
"Teacher Gu?"
"Wrong way again?"
Gu Yanshen looked at the confused Lu Wenxing with amusement.
The people in the restroom came out immediately, and when they saw Lu Wenxing and Gu Yanshen, their faces suddenly turned pale. Another young man pushed the young man in front of him and said, "Let's go."
"Why are you hiding from them?"
"I didn't hide."
Lu Wenxing planned to wash his hands first and then go to Song Jiajia to eat some cake.
"I asked you out the day before yesterday, and you said you didn't have time recently. How come you have time to attend the banquet today?"
Lu Wenxing blinked and said, "Because I'm here for the banquet, I don't have time."
Gu Yanshen: "..."
"Then may I ask if you have time now?" Gu Yanshen looked at him helplessly.
Lu Wenxing nodded.
"Come out with me for a moment, I'll give you the gift."
Lu Wenxing was just surprised, "Teacher Gu brought gifts with him when he went out?"
"Yeah, so humble." Gu Yanshen's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and he said half-jokingly, "It's obviously a gift, but I have to ask the recipient if he has time first."
The author has something to say: Brother: As long as I am not here●^●
