Nine o'clock in the evening, in the banquet hall of Zhongyue Hotel.
The entire top floor, a banquet hall covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, was covered with a red carpet. The trained and uniformly dressed greeters and the extremely luxurious furnishings indicated that today's event was not simple.
The annual film and television exchange conference brings together major entertainment companies, celebrities, investors, etc.
Those who came to attend were all from the upper class circles of Yanjing. Xiao Chen was waiting for Wen Wan at the entrance of the banquet.
However, before he even signed his name at the reception desk, a tea-smelling voice came from behind him: "Sister Xiang, your dress is so beautiful. It fits you so well."
"I've arranged for a professional photographer to take some photos of you on the red carpet..."
"Xiao Ming?" Xiao Chen turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Ming in a white sportswear, holding Xiang Jiaojiao's hand and walking inside.
Xiang Jiaojiao responded to his compliments in a timid manner. It seemed that Xiao Ming often taught her a lesson.
After all, Xiao Ming has been devoted to her fat body for quite some time.
But in public, we still have to give her, the investor, some face.
"Hey, brother, you are here too?" Seeing Xiao Chen, Xiao Ming immediately became energetic.
He waved his hand to let Xiang Jiaojiao leave, then walked to Xiao Chen's side.
"Why are you everywhere?" Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming now seems to be a little taller than before, and his body seems to be much stronger.
Moreover, he was filled with a confidence he had never had before, and his whole temperament was different from before.
But the tea-like look on this guy's face remained unchanged.
"Today is a big exchange meeting for the entertainment industry. By the way, my stage name is Mingtian, do you know it?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"I know. They're hyping things up, buying fake fans, and creating a persona." Xiao Chen nodded. "You also have a band, and you're the lead singer."
"I've been working hard." Xiao Ming's expression changed, but he still said with a smile.
"I also know you're trying hard." Xiao Chen nodded again: "But your singing is really bad. It seems that you have taken good care of Xiang Jiaojiao."
"She can spend so much money on you. I really envy you for being able to live like a gigolo."
Xiao Chen's words undoubtedly hit Xiao Ming's sore spot.
The biggest shadow he had ever experienced in his life was the time he first spent with Xiang Jiaojiao.
If it weren't for Qin Youxin, he would probably be dead now.
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Sister Xiang is investing in me."
"I will bring her more rewards in the future."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Xiao Chen had already signed in. He put down his pen and said, "So, please stop hanging around me, okay?"
"Because of the smell of tea, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and beat you up."
"Brother, who brought you here today? This is a grand exchange meeting held by the industry."
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "If you don't have an invitation, the security guards will kick you out."
"Don't worry about that," Xiao Chen said, "you'd better keep your mouth shut and make sure you don't hang around me."
"Otherwise, I promise to rip your mouth apart."
After warning him, I wanted to leave, but Xiao Ming refused.
He called out, "Xiao Chen, have you found your biological parents?"
"Why, does this have anything to do with you?" Xiao Chen frowned and turned around.
He didn't know why Xiao Ming said this out of nowhere. Did this kid know something?
"You are really powerful now." Xiao Ming's face, which originally looked handsome, is now a little distorted.
"But this will never change the fact that you are a bastard who doesn't even know who your biological parents are."
"Are you deliberately provoking me?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"In that case, I will grant you your wish."
Xiao Chen clenched his fist, aimed it at Xiao Ming's face, and punched him hard.
"Plop!" Xiao Ming exclaimed and fell exaggeratedly towards the concierge desk.
He knocked over a pile of red wine, and with a loud crash, the red wine placed at the concierge desk shattered all over the floor.
The scarlet wine flowed all over him, and his body was scratched by the red wine fragments.
He struggled in panic among the wine and debris, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.
The noise here quickly alarmed a group of people, and one of the women walked over quickly and helped him up.
"Mingming, how are you? Are you okay?" the woman asked with concern.
"I'm fine, brother, don't be angry. I really just asked you out of concern." There was a hint of panic in Xiao Ming's voice.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you hit people for no reason?" The woman looked at Xiao Chen with anger on her face.
"Sorry, this is a matter between him and me. Who are you?" Xiao Chen glanced at the woman.
The face that had undergone plastic surgery was a little stiff and looked somewhat familiar. He should be a newly promoted artist of a film and television company.
Oh, by the way, the heroine who became famous for filming a fantasy web drama some time ago has been spotted by investors. Isn’t there a drama where she plays opposite a top-notch popular handsome guy?
Remember her name, Wu Ke?
"Xiao Ming is my brother, you can't bully him." Wu Ke said sternly: "Apologize to Mingming right now."
"Sister Wu, don't blame me. This is my fault." Xiao Ming pulled her hypocritically: "Besides, he is not from the circle. He just wants to squeeze in to join in the fun and make some connections."
"So it turns out that he didn't have an invitation and wanted to sneak in and take advantage of the situation?" Wu Ke suddenly realized.
She sneered, "I've seen many people with this kind of background trying to get ahead."
"But what kind of occasion is this? How can we allow him to act wildly here?"
"Mind your own business." Xiao Chen wiped his hands. His fist had just touched Xiao Ming's face, and he felt his hands were dirty.
"No matter what happened, it's not a reason for you to hit someone." Wu Ke became angry when he saw Xiao Chen's attitude.
She snapped, "Apologize immediately."
"What will happen if I don't apologize?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Then I'm sorry, I will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Yanjing." Wu Ke was very confident and his tone was a bit domineering.
After all, she had just been recognized by investors and was in the limelight, and the entertainment company behind her also had a huge background.
She didn't care who Xiao Chen was, but she couldn't let him bully her good brother.
"You still haven't changed your bad habits." Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Ming: "Pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of a woman, and then letting a woman stand up for you?"
Xiao Chen stared at Xiao Ming with a caring look for the mentally retarded. This grandson has always played like this.
But women just fall for his tricks.
And Wu Ke, who was standing up for him, probably didn't know that if she continued like this, her acting career would probably end here.
"Don't try to change the subject. Apologize to Xiao Ming right now." Wu Ke stared at Xiao Chen coldly with a cold face.
