Chapter 29
29
Wang Zhi has never participated in this kind of offline business——
Not big enough.
Now, after hearing Li Yun mention it, his attention was drawn to it: "Brother Li, do you need me to perform any talents? But I don't know how to do it."
Li Yun was amused by him: "It's our own business, why would you want to show off your talent? Just show your face and take a couple of pretty photos."
Only then did Wang Zhi realize that the opening was actually an enterprise under the name of Gao's family. Many artists from Dingyu were going to attend. After looking at the list, Wang Zhi found himself squeezed in, just like a firefly among a group of stars, with such a small status that he almost didn't exist.
Li Yun continued, "It's all arranged. When the editing begins, you'll be standing next to Mr. Gao, squarely in the center of the picture. When the photos are taken, everyone will be able to see you."
Wang Zhi is not feeling well.
He could fully imagine the bloody storm that would be caused if such a photo was posted online.
He will definitely be torn apart by his fans who are obsessed with his star status!
Wang Zhi had just started working as a resource-rich person and was not very familiar with the feeling of forcing his way into something without any real ability. He was so nervous that he forgot to let his imagination run wild.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held tomorrow, and there will be an internal dinner tonight. Artists who don’t have work can go there early.
Wang Zhi took the company car and went downstairs. He saw a string of nanny cars parked at the door. Many artists under Ding Yu were there. The star-studded scene was comparable to some large-scale award ceremonies.
Wang Zhi wore a baseball cap and stood quietly in the corner to avoid accidentally rubbing against the camera.
"Why are you here?"
Wang Zhi looked up and met Gao Fengming's gaze. After a pause, he remembered.
Oh yes, this is his fiancé.
It had been so long since we last met that Wang Zhi was a little unskilled in the business. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, I'm going to the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
"How did you get on the list?" Gao Fengming flipped the tablet in his hand frantically. "Which idiot registered wrong again?!"
…
Wang Zhi silently took a step back.
I always feel that Gao Fengming has been driven crazy by work.
Gao Fengming searched for a long time and finally confirmed that there was no problem with the work. Wang Zhi was indeed on the list, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Zhi asked softly, "Brother, are you in charge of this activity?"
Gao Fengming looked very vicissitudes of life: "Yeah."
Wang Zhi said, "It's been so hard, brother. You've lost weight."
Yeah?
Gao Fengming touched his face and said with a complicated mood: "You look well."
Of course, he eats well, sleeps well, and exercises regularly, so how could he not look good?
Wang Zhi pretended, "Not really. I just missed my brother so much that I couldn't sleep yesterday. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes."
He wasn't lying, he really had insomnia yesterday.
This is the art of speaking.
Wang Zhi put her face close to Gao Fengming, and Gao Fengming subconsciously lowered his head, but his eyes were only focused on Wang Zhi's fair skin. Her cheeks were flushed beautifully, and looked soft and cool. One had to look very carefully to see the faint trace of black under her eyes, but she did not look haggard, but rather had a bit of erotic reverie.
Gao Fengming's eyes were fixed on his face and his breathing paused.
After not seeing her for a while, Wang Zhi became even more beautiful, like a well-cared-for rose that bloomed with the most gorgeous colors.
Gao Fengming's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his voice: "I will accompany you well tonight."
Wang Zhi didn't understand what he meant and thought Gao Fengming meant that he could slack off at work tonight to keep him company.
Wang Zhi looked up, his eyes twinkling: "That's great, brother."
Can I report him for slacking off at work?
The two stood in the corner, whispering to each other. Gao Fengming was a little taller than Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi had a slender figure. Even though she was wrapped in a loose T-shirt, the draft blew the fabric tightly around her waist. The brim of her baseball cap blocked half of her face, leaving only her pointed chin exposed. There was also a small diamond bone clip on her earlobe. The bright blue light gave off a blade-like shape, which needed no extra decoration as it had already broken through the sunlight and shone brightly.
Li Yun suddenly came over and poked Wang Zhi: "Boss Gao is here."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi immediately looked around and asked, "Where is it?"
In front of the door, Gao Bochong was surrounded by a group of senior executives and seemed not to notice Wang Zhi in the corner.
Wang Zhi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should go forward to say hello, but Gao Fengming had already dragged his hand and squeezed in front of Gao Bochong.
Gao Fengming has wanted to complain for a long time!
His eldest brother is Gao Bochong! These old guys are actually making things difficult for him at work, causing him nightmares every night!
Wang Zhi actually didn’t want to go over there. With so many colleagues there, he didn’t want to attract attention, and... he was a little afraid that Gao Bochong would call him "Zhizhi" again.
And in front of Gao Fengming.
Although it was hard to say what was wrong with it, Wang Zhi was inexplicably resistant, as if if Gao Bo Chong really shouted like that in public, he would face a terrible scene.
...But Gao Fengming is very strong.
Wang Zhi struggled quietly, but Gao Fengming, who was determined to prove the principle of "don't bully the poor young man," didn't notice at all. He squeezed through several peripheral leaders and said, "Big Brother!"
Wang Zhi lowered his head silently, and saw out of the corner of his eye that Gao Bo Chong glanced over at the sound, and his gaze fixed on the hands that he and Gao Fengming were holding tightly. Although it was only for a moment, it made Wang Zhi feel as if he was burned.
His fingertips twitched slightly. Although he had done nothing wrong, Wang Zhi felt guilty as if he had been caught.
Fortunately, Gao Bochong had already withdrawn his gaze. Wang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and heard Gao Fengming excitedly say, "Brother, why are you here?"
Gao Bochong glanced at him and said, "I'm here to handle official business. It's not working hours now, what are you doing here?"
"..." Gao Fengming wilted, because he could tell that his elder brother was not here to support him. "...I will be responsible for on-site coordination."
Gao Bochong said coldly: "I asked you to come to the company, is it to have a relationship?"
Wang Zhi silently pulled his hand out of Gao Fengming's palm. Seeing Gao Fengming's back bent due to being scolded, he felt no sympathy at all.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Gao Fengming has been a rich second-generation since he was young, so it is normal for him to be scolded every day.
——Yes, he is just hating the rich^^
But Wang Zhi did not forget to establish the image of caring for her fiancé in front of the parents, and said softly: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have disturbed Fengming's work. Big brother, please don't be angry with Fengming."
Gao Fengming was indeed very moved.
Wang Zhi actually stood up to defend himself at this moment!
Gao Fengming asked himself, if his elder brother scolded Wang Zhi, he would definitely not have the courage to speak up. But...but if his elder brother scolded Wang Zhi now, he would definitely speak up for him.
Gao Fengming staged a big drama in his heart, but Gao Bochong just glanced at the two of them indifferently, then turned around and got into the car.
…
Gao Fengming breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a little lost, feeling that his desire to rebel for love had been thwarted. Normally, at a time like this, Wang Zhi would have noticed his emotional shift and comforted him, but this time, he remained silent.
Gao Fengming realized what was happening and looked over, only to see that Wang Zhi also had a look of disappointment on his face.
Gao Fengming asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Could it be that Wang Zhi has a telepathic connection with him?
Wang Zhi then withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Gao Bochong's luxury car that had already driven away. Hearing Gao Fengming's voice, he slowly replied: "Nothing..."
Just a little weird.
Gao Bochong clearly saw him, but he didn't say a word to him.
…Though it’s normal not to talk to him.
But Mingming was calling him "Zhizhi" yesterday, why is it like he doesn't know him today?
Do you really want to avoid suspicion and keep your distance from me?
Emotions were surging, and Wang Zhi didn't even realize that he was feeling a little lost because of Gao Bochong's indifference.
The Rolls-Royce turned and drove onto the main road. The scenery behind the car changed and Wang Zhi could no longer be seen.
Gao Bochong turned his head, still thinking about the scene where Wang Zhi and Gao Fengming joined hands just now.
If it were before, he would definitely be unhappy about such a scene, and then tell himself that it was just because he didn't like Gao Fengming being with a gold digger.
But now, Gao Bochong has come to his senses.
He was never angry because Wang Zhi was a gold digger, he just felt that Wang Zhi's vision was problematic. If he wanted to make money, why did he focus on Gao Fengming when there were obviously better options around him?
He even pays for his own pocket money.
But it doesn't matter.
Wang Zhi’s choice wasn’t so smart, so I’ll set things right myself.
Therefore, even if he saw the intimate posture of Wang Zhi and Gao Fengming, he would not have any emotional fluctuations, because these were only temporary.
Soon, the person Wang Zhi joins hands with will be me.
The phone vibrated and Gao Bochong answered the video call.
On the other end, Ning Quanwu lazily said, "Hello, Old Gao... Why are you so sullen again? Who made you angry again?"
…
Gao Bochong said coldly: "It's okay, I'm hanging up."
"No, no, no," Ning Quanwu said hastily. "It's you who suddenly wants to open a hotel. Do you know that your hotel is a global chain? I just arranged everything for you, and you're going to burn it down?"
After Gao Bochong bought the hotel, he renovated it but hadn't planned to reopen it. It was only on a whim that he finally decided to reopen it. His staff had been working overtime for a long time, and even Ning Quanwu was too busy to go out and have fun.
Gao Bochong wasn't the kind of tyrant who didn't care about his employees. He said in a gentle tone, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ning Quanwu chuckled and said, "Then lend me your supercar and I'll take Xiaozhi for a ride..."
…
Before he finished speaking, Gao Bochong coldly hung up the video call.
-
"Xiao Wang, why don't you leave?"
Outside the hotel gate, Li Yun looked back with some confusion and looked at Wang Zhi who suddenly stopped.
Wang Zhi's beautiful eyes were fixed on the tall crystal revolving door at the hotel's main entrance. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Brother, I'm not feeling well. Can I take a leave?"
Li Yun had long noticed that he was uneasy and was on guard against him running away. Hearing him say this, he immediately restrained him: "No! The company has arranged a guest room for you. If you feel unwell, go back to your room and sleep. I'll call a doctor for you."
Wang Zhi didn't say anything else, so Li Yun held his arm and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. What are you so nervous about?"
He lowered his voice again, "Your name was specifically added to the ribbon-cutting list by President Gao. President Gao is here to support you personally. What do you have to be afraid of?"
...That's why he's afraid!
Looking at the familiar hotel gate, Wang Zhi felt like crying but had no tears.
Why didn't Li Yun tell him that the hotel that opened today was that hotel—
It was the hotel where he slept with a pile driver and ran away, and then it was bought by someone!
The waist that was sore and weak in the morning could not even stand up straight now. After Wang Zhi was dragged into the hotel by Li Yun, he looked at the newly decorated lobby and suppressed the fear in his heart.
Even if Gao Bochong acquired this hotel, it wouldn't mean anything...
The lobby was quite crowded, with assistants of various celebrities collecting their room cards. Wang Zhi was the only one brought in by her agent. Too embarrassed to ask Li Yun to queue for her, Wang Zhi obediently stood at the end, only to be stopped by Li Yun: "Let's go! I got the room card in advance."
Normally, Wang Zhi would have praised her, but now, he was completely dazed, especially after getting on the elevator. That familiar feeling of weightlessness followed him like a shadow, making him uncontrollably recall that night when he had done the same thing, stumbling into the elevator and being carried all the way up to an unpredictable direction...
With a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened.
Li Yun continued to introduce: "After Mr. Gao bought the hotel, he completely renovated it. Although it is still a five-star hotel, it is benchmarked against six-star standards. The room I assigned to you is the most luxurious room on the top floor..."
The thick beige wool carpet fell silently under foot, and countless intricate lines stretched across it, winding into grand floral patterns. Ornate plaster moldings were delicately coated with gold powder, and heavy black walnut furniture sat quietly. This place, like a sultan's golden house where his mistresses were hidden, awaited its owner's arrival.
Wang Zhi stepped on the carpet. He knew rationally that he had never been there, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He asked in a very soft voice: "Brother Li, has this suite not been renovated?"
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he knew that he had said something stupid.
The hotel was completely renovated, so why would they leave one room to remain as it was?
Li Yun didn't hear his question clearly: "What?"
"Nothing." Wang Zhi managed to regain his composure. "I just think the best room should be reserved for President Gao."
Li Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao's room is right next to yours."
…
Even more worried.
Wang Zhi sat on the sofa nervously, feeling uncomfortable all over. After Li Yun left, he stood up and wanted to go to the bathroom, but thought for a moment and sat down again.
His eyes swept across the big bed in the inner room, and a picture flashed through his mind. He was half-kneeling beside the bed, with his head lowered and his mouth opened with difficulty. The saliva that he couldn't swallow in time dripped from the corners of his mouth to the ground. Someone pressed his head and told him to spit it out in a low voice.
Then, a warm current seemed to surge into his mouth, rushing into his throat, choking him and causing him to cough up tears...
Wang Zhi couldn't help coughing twice and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, but he still felt something strange in his mouth.
Stop thinking about it!
Wang Zhi walked around the room and rushed out as if fleeing.
Then he was blocked back by Li Yun.
Li Yun brought a whole styling team with him, and with a look of relief that said, "Fortunately, I came back in time," he asked, "Little Ancestor, where are you going now?"
Wang Zhi felt guilty: "I want to go get some fresh air."
Li Yun said, "That's easy."
Wang Zhi was sitting on the terrace putting on makeup, looking at the rolling clouds in the sky, feeling a little melancholy.
...There are mosquitoes on the terrace.
But it’s too late to say this now, after all, it was he who wanted to come out to get some fresh air.
With less than half an hour left before the dinner, the styling was finally finished. The costume designer brought two dresses, one black and one white, and asked Li Yun, "Which one?"
Li Yun didn't even raise his eyelids: "What brand?"
"One set from Valentino and one set from YSL."
"Noysl." The makeup artist interrupted, "I have a tip: the best actor is wearing YSL today, be careful not to get clashed with him."
The costume designer simply threw the white suit aside and said, "OK, then let's go with Valentino's haute couture collection. Brother Li, you're incredible. You even managed to borrow this."
When celebrities attend grand events, they often choose to wear high-end luxury brands. But aside from those big names with direct brand sponsorship, it's quite impressive for smaller artists to borrow a set of off-season clothing. Given Wang Zhi's status, YSL is considered high-end, but Li Yun managed to snag Valentino's haute couture! And the latest styles!
Wang Zhi didn't know much about fashion, but he knew about prices. He secretly searched for Valentino Haute Couture and found that he had to verify his funds to watch the show. He felt heartbroken when he used his own savings to buy a piece of ready-made clothing.
Clothes are more expensive than people.
Wang Zhi changed his clothes very carefully and reverently. When he came out, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
It was Wang Zhi's first time wearing such an expensive dress, so she was a little nervous: "How is it?"
The makeup artist whistled: "Baby, you will definitely be the focus of the audience tonight."
It's a compliment to him.
Wang Zhi felt relieved and was not shy about being teased. He smiled and said, "That's good. I saw that you were not talking, so I thought it was inappropriate."
"You're stunning." The costume designer, knowing Wang Zhi's identity, joked, "Your fiancé's eyes will definitely not leave you tonight."
Yeah?
When mentioning Gao Fengming, Wang Zhi felt no emotion.
Looking at the time, the dinner was about to begin. Wang Zhi and his group took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the banquet hall. All the invited guests had already arrived. When Wang Zhi entered, many people looked over, their eyes fell on him, and there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
Wang Zhi looked straight ahead, with a faint smile on his lips, and walked from the shadow into the brightest light.
At the same time, the conductor waved his baton and the music started.
Wang Zhi was startled, his eyes flickering like stars. Someone greeted him, and he smiled and went to greet them. His black dress, under the crystal chandelier, wrapped around his tall and slender figure, with an extremely thin waist and extremely long legs.
On the second-floor platform, Gao Bochong held a glass of champagne in his hand and looked at him quietly.
Wang Zhi suddenly turned around and looked around inconspicuously.
Strange, why does he feel like someone is watching him?
But there were too many people on the field, and the dresses were like blooming flowers, blocking the view. Wang Zhi took a sip of soda nonchalantly. Someone next to him asked him, "Why don't you drink?"
He smiled and said obediently, "Fengming doesn't like me drinking."
Sure enough, after saying that, no one urged him to drink anymore. Instead, they praised him for being sensible. Wang Zhi smiled. Although he didn't like such occasions, he was surprisingly comfortable in it.
He was like a fish in water because he had the Gao family behind him, so everyone naturally had to give him some face.
By the way, Gao Fengming is not still working overtime, right?
After socializing for a while, Wang Zhi felt tired and found an excuse to slip out of the crowd. He sent a message to Gao Fengming: "Brother, are you still working?"
A cell phone vibrated in the next room, coinciding with the time Wang Zhi had sent the message. Unaware of the situation, Wang Zhi unconsciously turned to look. He saw Gao Fengming standing in the half-open room, looking extremely agitated. Opposite him stood...
It turned out to be Jiang Xubai.
Wow wow!
Wang Zhi shuddered.
Why are they together? Are they rekindling their old love?
Between turning around and leaving pretending to be ignorant, and rushing in to catch them in the act, Wang Zhi thought for a moment and chose to squat outside the door and watch the show... No, supervise, after all, the two people were just standing and talking, it didn't necessarily mean they were having an affair, right?
Then, before Wang Zhi could hear clearly what the two were saying, Jiang Xubai stepped forward and punched Gao Fengming in the face.
Wang Zhi: =口=
Seeing the two men wrestling with each other, punching each other, Wang Zhi was afraid that something might happen to them, so he pushed the door open and pretended to be terrified, "Brother! Teacher Jiang, what are you doing?!"
Why are you fighting!
You might as well have an affair!
Wang Zhi couldn't pull the two men apart, and he didn't know who pushed them away. In a moment of rage, he secretly kicked each of them and said, "Stop fighting!"
It was the first time he spoke so loudly. Gao Fengming was stunned and stopped for a moment, and then was punched by Jiang Xubai.
Wang Zhi: ...
Wang Zhi hadn't expected Jiang Xubai to be so powerful in his attacks. Seeing Gao Fengming retreating step by step, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death. He rushed over and exclaimed, "Brother!"
Jiang Xubai looked frail due to his long-term illness, but only the corners of his clothes were not dirty. Gao Fengming, however, lay on the sofa with his back covered with Wang Zhi's footprints, holding his bleeding nose, looking very miserable.
...Gao Fengming is so useless.
Being beaten like this by Bai Yueguang.
Wang Zhi grumbled quietly, then took out a tissue and handed it to Gao Fengming: "Teacher Jiang, why are you fighting here?"
Jiang Xubai's voice was still gentle, but his tone was a little cold: "Just reminiscing about the past."
Ha ha.
Jiang Xubai is so humorous.
Wang Zhi suppressed his laughter. Gao Fengming recovered and said angrily, "Who wants to reminisce with you?"
When he spoke, he pulled the injured corner of his mouth, which hurt so much that he cried and had to shut up.
Jiang Xubai was too lazy to pay attention to him and just said to Wang Zhi: "I'm sorry for ruining your fiancé's photo... but I think you can consider changing your fiancé."
Gao Fengming was furious: "What did you say——"
It pulled at the corner of his mouth again, but he was powerless to continue.
Wang Zhi: ...
We can't even understand each other during the quarrel.
But who made him his close friend? Wang Zhi could only say softly, "Teacher Jiang, why do you say that? Feng Ming is a very nice person."
Jiang Xubai smiled and said, "I just think you deserve better. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Wang Zhi also felt that it would be better for him to leave first to avoid another fight between the two. After Jiang Xubai left, Wang Zhi signaled Gao Fengming to let go: "Brother, let me see if your nose bleeds again."
Gao Fengming slowly loosened his hand, and a stream of blood slowly flowed down his nostril.
…
Puff——
Wang Zhi coughed and said, "I thought you were working overtime. Why are you fighting with Teacher Jiang?"
Gao Fengming remained silent for a long while before he said, "He was being rude."
Jiang Xubai actually used such rude words? He looked like the type of person who wouldn't even curse.
Although Wang Zhi didn't say it out loud, his face was full of suspicion.
In fact, even Gao Fengming himself did not expect Jiang Xubai to become like this.
I just saw him and wanted to say hello to him, but he mocked me without any reason. This made me cherish the person in front of me and not be fickle.
...Who is fickle?! I just...just want to catch up with him!
Especially at the end, he said that if he didn't cherish Wang Zhi, he should get out of here and not waste Wang Zhi's time. Only then did Gao Fengming lose his patience and take action.
The result has not been played yet.
Gao Fengming felt aggrieved and guilty. He leaned in Wang Zhi's arms, unable to accept that his weak and literary white moonlight could now beat him so hard that he couldn't get up.
