Lin Liwan is a female star who came to Hong Kong from Taiwan to work hard. Previously, she played the leading role in emotional dramas. She
was often praised for her lingering acting and beautiful crying.
But these acting methods and these expressions that she was used to using were not very effective in Hong Kong. In this particularly down-to-earth city, people are not literary, but lively, sometimes as if they live in the jungle.
She is trying to adapt and want to fight for a place here.
So, she, who never accepted such social evenings in the past, made an exception today.
Watching the other two female actors at the same table, smiling like butterflies, shuttling between the wine tables, smiling like flowers, socializing with every rich man and producer, being remembered by others, and getting the promise that they would definitely be asked to play the leading role, she was like a fish in water... She was also very jealous and wanted to walk into the entertainment venue and blend into the lights and wine.
But she thought that if she took the initiative to approach and was touched, she might be considered frivolous, used and disrespected... She felt uneasy, unable to lift her butt, and unable to speak.
Just when Lin Liwan was struggling with a dilemma, a waiter suddenly walked out from the backstage, holding a golden tray in his hands. The things in the tray were covered with red cloth, which looked particularly solemn, which attracted everyone's attention.
The men and women who were socializing turned their heads and watched the golden tray pass through the crowd and go to the food area.
Could it be a dish?
Everyone's eyes were like chasing a light, always shining on the golden tray, until...
it finally stopped on a tall woman with a straight back and shoulders, and a bright smile.
Yi Jiayi was discussing the tips of grilling steak with the chef who was grilling steak on site. She used professional terms like "awake beef", "Maillard reaction", "thick cut", "myoglobin" and so on without paying any money, which made the chef feel like he had met a bosom friend.
When they were interrupted by the waiter, Jiayi and the chef were a little unhappy. They turned around and glared at the waiter with disapproving eyes.
It is very rude to interrupt others who are talking and eating.
"..." The waiter originally passed through the crowd like a star and came here to give Yi Shazhan a gift in the sight of everyone. He was feeling very proud and did not expect to be glared at. Her heart tightened, and her previous elation disappeared. She felt guilty in an instant, and her shoulders shrank slightly. She didn't dare to keep the secret any longer. She smiled and lifted the red cloth, and said obediently:
"Good evening, the true love pearl necklace that won the first prize in the auction just now has been given to Yi Shazhan by the anonymous buyer. Please check it."
"Oh!"
"Wow~"
"So proud~"
"Envy..."
Low calls and whispers immediately rang out around her, and some people even smelled the romantic atmosphere and started to cheer:
"Put it on, put it on~"
Lin Liwan looked at Yi Jiayi, who was the focus of the crowd's attention, thinking.
The originally anxious mood due to the entanglement gradually calmed down, and the hand that wanted to get up and was placed on the table and holding the wine glass naturally fell to the side of her body.
The waiter faced Jiayi, trying to regain his courage and loudly repeating what the manager had just taught him:
"The best jewelry is given to Officer Yi who has worked hard for a year to protect the citizens."
Another actor sitting next to Lin Liwan couldn't help but sigh, and murmured with admiration and yearning.
Turning her head and looking at the actor, Lin Liwan suddenly smiled, and many people around her often said "learn to socialize like others", "accumulate connections and build good interpersonal relationships", "please the rich and powerful" and other words were pushed out of her mind.
At this moment, she remembered that she was not a businessman, let alone a socialite.
She was an actor, speaking with her acting skills. It is understandable that she can get along with others and have the ability to socialize, but since she can't do that, she shouldn't be anxious about it.
Keep things that you can't do away from yourself, and work hard for what you can do calmly. If you can't socialize, you must not shake the foundation of your "actor career."
Her mood suddenly became bright, and all the lines of insecurity and anxiety on Lin Liwan's face disappeared, and her whole temperament became calm and unrestrained. The
male actor who sat at the same table with her and smiled at her was slightly startled. He was infected by Lin Liwan's smile. Suddenly, he felt that her smile and frown just now just fit the image of the heroine in a movie script he had just taken on recently...
...
...
Jiayi didn't know that she could also influence others invisibly. At this moment, she was still in the center of the incident. Listening to everyone's booing, she didn't laugh, but slightly raised her eyebrows, revealing a vigilant and sharp expression.
She was being attentive for no reason. She didn't know the anonymous person, and she didn't dare to ask for a gift worth millions.
He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept such a valuable gift without a reason. Please return it to the anonymous buyer."
The waiter was stunned again. He thought that Yi Shazhan would happily accept the gift, and then half shyly and half proudly show off the necklace in front of everyone, and then put it on.
He was not prepared for the way to deal with Yi Shazhan's reaction. The scene was
very awkward for a while. Guo Yongyao, who was standing a few steps away with the leaders' social sent by TVB, stared at Jiayi for a while, and suddenly realized that Yi Shazhan was not joking.
This made the scene awkward. He hurriedly stepped towards Jiayi, and when the other party looked over, he smiled and said,
"Take it, Jiayi."
Jiayi blinked, and when Sir Guo walked over, he whispered, "Is this a link prepared by the Public Relations Department?"
Is everything a shady deal?
"..." Guo Yongyao pursed his lips, and his eyes suddenly turned to look at Fang Zhenyue who was talking to a wealthy elder a few steps away.
The two looked at each other, and Guo Yongyao smacked his lips.
Jiayi's eyes quickly followed the line of sight of Guo Sir, and she also saw Fang Zhenyue who was looking at Guo Sir.
She lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in a few seconds.
"Yes, our police force has arranged such a process in order to establish its image." Guo Sir hurriedly whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you before."
"I see." Jiayi nodded, and finally pursed her lips and smiled.
Guo Sir also smiled.
Jiayi turned around and nodded to the waiter. After thanking him, she took the necklace and rejected the offer from the people around her to help her put it on. She held the necklace buckle herself and fastened it deftly with her fingers. She then straightened the necklace, raised her chin slightly, faced the camera of the media attending the banquet, and let them take pictures.
If it was a pre-arranged process, how could Sir Guo forget to tell her?
They had plenty of time to talk about the process of the banquet in the car on the way here. Sister Ada reminded her of everything she should do. How could she forget such an important link? It
was obviously just an excuse.
Jiayi reached out and touched the necklace around her neck, feeling the eyes of the people around her gradually leaving her. She
turned around and smiled at the chef who was frying steak. Seeing that the thick-cut steak she had chosen before was already fried, she hurriedly sprinkled some pepper on it and asked the chef to help cut it into small strips.
While waiting, she lowered her eyes and recalled the angry, frustrated and embarrassed expression on Brother Fang Zhenyue's face when Sir Guo and Fang Zhenyue looked at each other.
At that moment, Sir Guo instinctively looked towards Brother Yue for help...
"Yi Shazhan, your steak." The chef cut the steak and handed the warm white porcelain plate to Jiayi.
Jiayi took it with a smile, walked to the corner and slowly savored the steak's special taste and deliciousness, which was fresh, juicy and chewy. After
a piece of charred and fragrant steak went into her stomach, she fixed her eyes on the steaming and fragrant beef chunks on the porcelain plate, and suddenly pursed her lips to raise a smile.
The secret joy quietly emerged and was quickly hidden.
She narrowed her eyes and closed them to hold back a smile.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly because of the power of closing her eyes, like the most playful and lovely wings.
…
…
Jiayi rejected several wealthy men or second-generation rich men who approached her, and quietly escaped to the end of the buffet area. She leaned against an empty cabinet in a place where she could not be found under the bright lights, and quietly satisfied her taste buds.
She faced a lonely piano a few steps away and looked at her.
Jiayi couldn't help but tilt her head and think——
[At this time, a female star came over and approached her, saying, "How is it? Doesn't that piano look beautiful? You guys with thick fingers who only know how to fight and kill have never touched it, right?"
The tone was as contemptuous as it could be.
Jiayi glanced at the other person, raised a domineering smile at the corner of her lips, and sneered.
This is not a coincidence. In her previous life, her parents thought it was too tiring to take care of children, so they would send her to an interest class to learn piano every week when she had a day off. When she was little, she even thought that she might become a pianist in the future. She immersed herself in learning piano and taking exams... She
glanced at the female star. She walked to the piano with elegant steps, proudly like a swan, sat down slowly, and then her fingers brushed across the keys. The sudden sound of the piano instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Then, a piece of Chopin escaped from her fingertips...
The female star who looked down on others was stunned in an instant. The hand holding the red wine glass tilted slightly, and the wine spilled without her knowing it. It was as if she was going to bow down immediately.
She only murmured in her mouth: "I didn't recognize the great man! I'm sorry..."
The other rich people, second-generation people, producers, and male stars all cast surprised and admiring eyes. There was also a big director who wanted to sign autographs and ask for cooperation...
The female stars were so jealous that they tilted their heads, squinted their eyes, and sighed...
She was the most popular, and the whole audience was cheering. Amid the applause and cheers, she stood up gracefully, turned around and left, without taking a cloud of color with her.
That day, Officer Yi Jiayi put her hands in her pockets, not knowing what an opponent was.
Jiayi was immersed in her imagination, and her left hand repeatedly touched her waist, but she couldn't find her trouser pockets for a long time...
Suddenly she came to her senses, how could she have trouser pockets, she was wearing a skirt.
There was no cheering and applause in the whole audience, and the piano was still standing alone, no one cared about it.
The beautiful female star walked past her, not only did she not sneer, but she nodded and smiled at her politely, and she was very beautiful.
Jiayi smiled back awkwardly, and even waved her glass at the other party, clinking glasses with the other party in the air. The
beautiful female star Lin Liwan smiled happily, with sweet dimples on her cheeks. She drank a sip of wine generously before leaving slowly.
Jiayi also took a sip from the wine glass, smiling awkwardly.
I was imagining too much. It must be because I read too many cool and arrogant novels in my previous life...
But... It was really fun, hehe, hehe...
Fang
Zhenyue impatiently finished entertaining the last rich elder, bypassed the people who came to chat with him, and began to scan the venue.
Soon, he saw a pretty girl in a champagne-colored light gauze long dress, leaning in the corner without any idol burden, chewing the food slowly and observing the human behavior in the venue with great interest.
She just stood there lazily, chewing and stopping, occasionally squinting her eyes in enjoyment.
It was Yi Jiayi.
The innocence in the eyes of the little policewoman when they first met was gone. Now, even if she is just killing time, there is still a dashing and heroic spirit between her brows. Just standing there casually, she is as dazzling as a sword.
Jiayi's short hair was tied into two small buns by Ah Xiang, and then a dark red ribbon was wrapped around the two buns, tied together, and tied into a beautiful bow.
The simple decoration matches her neat temperament very well.
Fang Zhenyue held the red wine in his hand, shaking it unconsciously, but he always forgot to drink it.
His eyes followed her every little movement, like honey chasing flowers and moth chasing light.
Yi Jiayi seemed to be aware of his gaze and suddenly turned around. When she looked into his eyes, she raised her eyebrows and then showed the brightest and most brilliant smile. The
fierce female sergeant also has an innocent and cheerful side.
Fang Zhenyue, who was walking by the window, stared at her smiling face and couldn't help but smile along with her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed in from outside, filling his cuffs and trouser legs, filling his body with spring energy. Even his hair, which was fixed with hair gel, began to stir and wanted to fly.
Yi Jiayi put down the empty plate, stood up straight and walked towards him.
The headband tied behind her head was accidentally pressed under the plate without her noticing. The bow was pressed and pulled, and the headband fell off. The two bound tufts of hair behind her head regained their freedom.
Her smile was in harmony with the horns on both sides. The policewoman's sassiness disappeared and she was full of youth.
Fang Zhenyue's smile suddenly turned darker, his sword-like eyebrows raised, and his teeth were exposed.
Jiayi finally found that her hairband was missing, and the next moment she ran away in panic, like Cinderella after the magic disappeared.
Fang Zhenyue walked up to pick up the hairband, caught up with Jiayi, and ran away from the banquet with her side by side. "Let's go for a ride?"
Jiayi turned her head and looked at Fang Zhenyue. She simply pulled off the leather strap that tied her hair up, and casually scattered her short hair to make it free and stretchy.
Then, she ran two steps quickly, surpassed him, turned her head and looked up, saying:
"Okay~"
Then she went into the spring night with her fluffy short hair and the most gorgeous evening dress.
