Chapter 457 The event officially begins
Originally, the moment she saw Shen Ci appear, the expression on Mrs. Li's face subconsciously froze.
And when she heard Chen Ci shout "Mom", her eyes suddenly widened.
who?
Who the fuck?
"Aci."
Shen Jingjing pulled her daughter over and was about to speak, but she didn't expect Shen Ci's eyes to be filled with a smile that didn't reach the bottom of her eyes. She took the initiative to look at Li Wanchang and his wife and greeted them: "Uncle and aunt, long time no see."
It’s been a long time. The last time we met was last year, I think?
Mrs. Li instantly lost control of her facial expression, her face rapidly cooled from the equator to the North Pole, and she turned her head away with a look of disdain.
But Li Wanchang was different. The more he got to know Shen Ci, the more shocked he was.
The previous incident was enough to make him re-evaluate Shen Ci as a person. He did not expect that the friend introduced by Jiang Dong in person today would be Shen Ci's mother.
Judging from this relationship, Shen Ci and Chairman Jiang must have a close relationship.
Having been in the business world for many years, Li Wanchang was a seasoned businessman. Unlike his wife, he couldn't control himself. He kept his emotions to himself and only smiled faintly: "Hello again."
"Aci, do you know each other?" Shen Jingjing exclaimed in shock.
Shen Ci nodded slightly and explained calmly: “To be precise, I had a relationship with my uncle and aunt’s son.”
Shen Jingjing blinked. She knew her daughter had a relationship before Tang Song. Could it be...
Jiang Yuanliang on the side was also surprised, but Mrs. Li's instinctive reaction did not escape his eyes. Although Shen Ci greeted the other party with a smile, it was obvious that the relationship between the two parties was not harmonious.
When Mrs. Li heard Shen Ci mention her son, she felt a lump in her throat.
If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't have been sent abroad to study, making it difficult for her as a mother to even see him.
However, today is Uncle Jiang's home court, and Shen Ci naturally would not do anything too excessive to offend Uncle Jiang's face, so he did not say anything further at the moment.
Turning around, she saw Sister Kuan and Ji Chuhe walking in. Shen Ci took the opportunity to pull her mother up and said, "Mom, Ah Li's agent is here. I'll take you over to meet him."
"Uncle and aunt, we'll go over first."
After saying that, regardless of the expressions on the faces of several people, Shen Ci directly pulled her mother away.
Jiang Yuanliang didn't ask any more questions. Seeing this, he let the two of them do as they pleased and turned to greet other people.
As soon as the person left, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her anger and said angrily: "What the hell is going on? Is it that the cleaning company we use is owned by Shen Ci's family? I am rushing to support their business and giving them money. It's really unlucky."
Li Wanchang couldn't help but glare at his wife when he heard this. "You're too impatient! How come Director Jiang was right beside you just now? Are you so embarrassed?"
"That's Shen Ci!" Mrs. Li suddenly raised her voice, then reacted a second later and quickly lowered it: "My son has been tortured so badly by her, and you still expect me to be nice to her?"
"I'm really confused. When I investigated her identity, she turned out to be just an ordinary person who grew up in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. How did she become one of the celebrities in Longcheng now?"
Li Wanchang knew about Shen Ci's affairs, but Mrs. Li did not.
In her eyes, Shen Ci was still a young girl who had not graduated from college.
"What accurate information can you find out with those half-baked people you found?" Li Wanchang just thought that the information his wife had found was wrong.
From what he knew about Shen Ci, both his background and connections were unfathomable.
On the other hand, Sister Kuan finally found an opportunity to introduce Ji Chuhe, the most valued and popular person under her, to Chen Ci.
"You're A-Li's mother, right?" Sister Kuan warmly shook hands with Shen Jingjing and couldn't help but praise her sincerely, "She's so young and has such a good temperament. No wonder the daughters you raised are so outstanding."
"Sister Kuan, you are too kind. Ali has caused you trouble. She is still young and doesn't understand many things. Thank you for your concern." Shen Jingjing looked at Sister Kuan and said.
"Of course she should. Ali is a very nice girl. I like her very much. Our Chuhe likes her too. Moreover, they are working together in this drama. As a senior, Chuhe will also take care of Ali in the crew." Sister Kuan mentioned Ji Chuhe at the right time.
Shen Jingjing looked at Ji Chuhe and thanked her with a smile: "Ali told me that Sister Chuhe took good care of her. Thank you."
"You're welcome, Auntie. I like Ah Li very much. She will definitely achieve great things in the film and television industry in the future."
Shen Ci could see Sister Kuan’s intention and understood it very well.
In Longcheng, the capital circle of the film and television industry is complicated, but in fact, as long as you open one of the doors, the resources you can get will be overwhelming.
Shen Ci did not have deep contact with other circles, but her own circle was headed by her and Uncle Yang, and there were dozens of people with capital gathered. Everyone worked together on good projects and made money together.
Especially after her brother was imprisoned, she basically took over her brother's position and her position in the capital world is very important. It is understandable that Sister Kuan wants Ji Chuhe to get to know her.
Shen Ci must give this face to Sister Kuan.
So she took out her phone and said, "Sister Chu He, can we add each other on WeChat? My best friend is a huge fan of yours. Can you give me some autographed photos later?"
"Of course it's no problem."
Chen Ci said, "I recently took over a hotel in Yangming District and am currently renovating and rebuilding it. If there is a chance, could Sister Chu He come to attend the opening ceremony of my hotel?"
This is considered a commercial activity, and Ji Chuhe's appearance fee is the most expensive in the industry.
When she heard this, she subconsciously looked at Sister Kuan, because Sister Kuan was the one who made the final decision on such activities.
Sister Kuan replied without hesitation, "We're all family. Miss Chen, just remember to tell me the opening time in advance, and I'll definitely reserve the Chuhe slot for you."
"That's great. Thank you, Sister Kuan."
"Miss Chen, if you really want to thank me, then please remember us Chuhe if you have any good projects with a good team." Sister Kuan said frankly, but she said it very naturally. Although she had a purpose, it would not make people resist.
Chen Ci already knew what Sister Kuan meant, so she smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember it."
With her words, Sister Kuan knew that Chu He's future would be smoother, and she immediately reminded Ji Chu He: "Why don't you toast Miss Shen?"
“Miss Shen, I toast to you.”
"I also hope you can take good care of Ali in the circle."
"must."
Soon, more and more people came to the banquet hall. Most of them were old friends. Shen Ci also saw Boss Su Zheyuan coming with his secretary, including Uncle Yang.
After greeting everyone one by one, Chen Ci took her mother to sit at the designated banquet table. There were nameplates for both of them on the table, and each of them had a number plate, which would be used for the auction and fundraising later.
Soon, a smooth piano music sounded, and the host in charge of hosting the event walked onto the stage of the banquet hall with a microphone.
The event officially begins.
