Chapter 237: Great Talent in Hands (First Update)
"Good evening, everyone."
"Thank you all for coming tonight. It's so heartwarming to see so many familiar faces and new friends gathered here. For those of you who don't know me yet, I'm Roberta Myers, the editor-in-chief of Elle US."
“Tonight we’re not only celebrating fashion, but also making a difference in the lives of young aspiring designers…”
“I want to share a story with you that really captures why we are here tonight. A few years ago at our Elle Fashion Next event, I met a young designer from a small town… a shining example of what can be achieved…”
Unlike Anna Wintour's distant elegance and refinement, Roberta Myers looks more approachable and has the traditional image of a blonde socialite in Miami.
Kind of like Rachel from Friends.
It can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.
"I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our sponsors, partners and everyone who made this evening possible. Your support means so much to us and the young talent we aim to empower."
“Let’s enjoy this great evening, celebrate the creativity that drives our industry, and most importantly, let’s make a difference together.”
“Thank you all for coming and for your generous support.”
After Miles finished his opening speech, Fang Yu stood up and applauded along with everyone else.
Although Black Widow also clapped, her mind was still in a mess.
How could Roman not be invited? Even if Robbie looked down on him as a small-time reporter, he was still my husband. There was no way Robbie wouldn't invite him.
No, I remember now, I clearly received an invitation for two people!
What happened just now? If I forgot, why did Roman obey and wait outside?
Roman is not such an easy person to talk to. When he first interviewed me, he was very brave. Why didn't he resist at all today?
Could it be that... Black Widow looked at Fang Yu suspiciously.
As soon as Black Widow realized something was wrong, Fang Yu immediately sensed it and couldn't help but glance at her sideways, their eyes meeting.
The spell failed?
Yes, what I just said goes too far against common sense. Although suggestion is a second-level spell, this kind of explanation that goes against factual logic is indeed difficult to work.
Eh? The spell's broken, so why hasn't she gone out to find her husband yet? She looks straight ahead, smiles sincerely, and claps easily. What a great actress!
"Cheers." After applauding and sitting down, Fang Yu raised the glass in his hand and gestured to Scarlett.
Very confident, Scarlett raised her eyebrows and slightly opened her red lips.
"Sorry, but we shouldn't have met before." Scarlett chuckled, her eyes seemingly casually sweeping across Fang Yu's open collar.
This young-looking man has well-defined collarbones and his pectoral muscles appear well-developed.
It makes people want to explore the idea.
But unfortunately, he seems to be of Asian descent.
"Why would Robbie give up Roman's position to you? Fang Gees, I've never heard of this name." Scarlett raised her eyes slightly, gently resting her right arm on the round table, assuming a lazy posture, and her slightly hoarse and magnetic voice always made people feel that she was suppressing something.
Fang Yu, who originally thought that Scarlett Johansson had passed her prime, was startled.
Wow, no wonder everyone says she is a stunner. Even Durant wants to drink her foot bath water.
This woman has the word charm etched into her bones.
I originally thought that Amber Heard was in her prime and would definitely surpass Scarlett Johansson, but now it seems.
The most is Lu Benwei.
Fang Yu was in a playful mood. He put his hand on the back of his chair and pointed at the name tag on it.
"Look."
Fang Yu wiped the name on the name tag with his hand, and the name returned to Romandaric.
Scarlett Johansson's eyes were wide open, and it seemed that her black eyeliner was torn.
Fang Yu chuckled, and with another stroke, his name changed back to Fang Gis.
Scarlett pulled Fang Yu's hand away and reached out to wipe the nameplate. It was just ordinary plastic sticker, and there was no change after wiping it over.
"How did you do that?" Scarlett exclaimed in disbelief.
"Guess?" Fang Yu raised his glass and winked at Black Widow.
Scarlett's eyes flashed, and after a slight hesitation, she also raised her glass and drank it all while looking into Fang Yu's eyes.
"Are you a magician?" Black Widow countered with a slightly hoarse voice, turning defense into offense. "You showed up here uninvited. What's your secret?"
Fang Yu smiled and looked around, "It's just a little trick. I thought you would care about your husband's seat. Look, he's really alone in Linden Hall, looking very helpless."
Black Widow also followed Fang Yu's gaze and looked over. Linden Hall and Weatherly Court were connected. To be precise, Weatherly Pavilion or Weatherly Garden was the garden shared by Linden Hall and Ormond Hall. These two indoor conference halls were connected to Weatherly Garden, and the situation of Linden Hall and Ormond Hall could be clearly seen from here.
When Black Widow's gaze shifted back, she saw Fang Yu had already stood up and ran out to greet other people.
Black Widow was stunned when she saw her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds with a smug look on his face, his right arm around his beautiful new wife, Gossip Girl, and his left arm around Fang Yu's shoulders like a real brother.
How did they know each other? Could it be that this Asian boy was indeed invited?
"Hey, what's your relationship with Fang Yu and Ryan Reynolds just now?" As soon as she saw Fang Yu and Ryan Reynolds separate and go to drink with other people, Black Widow walked up to Ryan Reynolds with a glass of wine, ignored his new wife, and asked directly.
Ryan Reynolds was stunned and showed a cynical expression: "Wow, I thought you were here to congratulate my ex-wife on the success of my new movie."
Black Widow kept smiling, but her tone was harsh: "Last month's Deadpool gave you a boost of confidence, right? Congratulations, the marketing for this movie is great, and you haven't answered my question yet."
Ryan Reynolds shrugged. "You've found a new target, haven't you? A little boy this time? We just met."
Black Widow didn't believe it at all. They just met? He acted like he was offering his wife and child to someone he just met?
That Fangis made your wife smile so much that she was all smiles. They exchanged glances in front of you, and you were quite magnanimous.
At his age, people like your wife are good at talking but can't listen, and their tongues can kill people, but you don't even bother with this.
"Maybe it was like we knew each other at first sight? He looks a lot like... well, yeah, a lot like me when I was younger." Ryan Reynolds said with a look of self-identity.
……goodbye.
Just asking this kind of people is a waste of time!
Black Widow turned and left.
This kind of party is purely social. There is only wine on the table. Apart from some small cakes on the side, there is basically nothing to eat. After Roberta Myers' speech, the party began with free socializing. In the Weatherly Pavilion, which is more than 400 square meters, several different social groups were naturally formed soon.
Of course, there were still shows. Two screenwriters and directors stood there and performed two stand-up routines, and several rappers also took the microphone to perform freestyle and battle.
"Master, I have found the person you asked me to look for just now." When Fang Yu was about to look for the organizer of this party - Roberta Myers, Yuzi's voice sounded in Fang Yu's consciousness.
"Lin Shanming, formerly known as Lin Zheng'an, was a native of Yingzhou. In 3031, he began writing martial arts novels for a living. After writing over a dozen, he claimed to have experienced enlightenment in 3034 and began recruiting disciples throughout Yingzhou. Later, in 3040, he founded the Menghuatian Group under the guise of an artist."
Oh my god? You also wrote martial arts novels?
Is there such a talented writer?
"There are many scandals in the Menghuatian Group. Here are some excerpts from them. Please take a look." Youzi threw several documents into Fang Yu's consciousness.
"In 3049, a businessman named Hao from Yingzhou was stabbed to death. Lin Zheng'an, due to disagreements with Hao regarding an investment, was suspected of hiring a killer. During the Yingzhou police investigation, Lin Zheng'an fled from Yingzhou to California, where he has since changed his name to Lin Shanming and re-established the Meng Huatian Group."
"Meng Huatian's primary business in California is in the beauty and health industry, emphasizing the integration of sex, spirit, and body through spiritual conditioning, thereby elevating life. However, the skincare and health products and conditioning services it sells are expensive and have been repeatedly exposed for containing banned substances. Furthermore, its business practices have led to allegations of a pyramid scheme."
"Lin Shanming has many students in Los Santos, including quite a few wealthy individuals who rely on trusts and inheritances. This is their client information."
Fang Yu flipped through the information that Youzi sent him in his mind.
Wow, it turns out that it’s easiest to make money from fools.
As long as what you say is justified, no matter how outrageous it is, there will be idiots who will believe it and voluntarily defend it.
Lin Shanming made his fortune in Yingzhou by relying on four words: fraud and deception.
It is said that once, when Lin Shanming was less than 20 meters away from Nan Huaijin, he dared to boast to his students that every time Nan Huaijin saw him, he would show him the respect of a disciple.
Finally, when I came to Miami, I still used the same approach, and my business became even bigger, and it became a formal industrialization.
Eh?
Mainly in the beauty and health industry? Selling skincare products? Aisha Qiu was his student? Could it be...
A flash of light flashed through Fang Yu's mind.
The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!
"Yuzu, check his contact records with Aisha Qiu, including their communications on messaging apps and social media. Also, check the surveillance records of CP DAVA."
After getting Lin Shanming's information, Fang Yu basically understood what this rat was planning.
Don't you like playing tricks? Haha, I'll help you.
Fang Yu glanced around and easily found Lin Shanming, who was pretending to be profound and kind to the world, in the crowd.
Lin Shanming felt something and glanced at Fang Yu, then nodded to him with a smile.
Those who can come here to attend the party are all potential customers. If you can develop one loyal one out of a hundred who is willing to dedicate all his property to you, you will be rich.
Fang Yu also smiled, flicked his fingers slightly, and made an arcane mark on Lin Shanming.
Let me do my business first and deal with you later.
