Several big-name news reporters were at the party, occasionally snapping photos to use in their cover stories later that night.
The hubbub was mostly revolving around the individuals from Huyue Entertainment. Yu Ting was fulfilling her role as a guest perfectly, tucked away in a corner enjoying the slightly intoxicating drinks and the pastries made by five-star chefs. She was completely idylle and the picture of comfort.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the party scene, Zhou Chengyan and Li Heng were standing, arms propped on the railing, looking down at the crowd below. They were holding glasses filled with red liquid and had noticed Yu Ting in the corner.
Li Heng was standing next to him with a woman hanging off him who seemed to be a starlet of minor fame.
"Brother Li, um...you are so naughty, where are you touching?"
"Don’t you like it?"
"Mm~ Brother Li, let me tell you, some interesting things happened recently."
...
"Alright, alright, if you want to do anything just get a room."
Why don’t they just do it directly?
The constant chatter and the sound of men and women flirting was grating on Zhou Chengyan. His shirt wasn’t fully buttoned at the top, and he absently swirled his wrist a few times, causing the liquid in his glass to ripple with the movement. He was at ease and fully in his element.
...
Not only Zhou Chengyan was looking at Yu Ting, but so were many others, including Wei Qinghe. After exchanging a few words with some executives and directors from Huyue Entertainment, he stood nearby, occasionally taking sips of his red wine. His gaze was nearly always on Yu Ting.
Even standing in a dimly lit corner, she was an eye-catching presence, shinning like a bright pearl.
Many such phrases popped into Wei Qinghe’s mind, and he idly fiddled with the stem of his wine glass.
He wanted to ask her to dance...
But it felt slightly unreal.
Wei Qinghe thought about this, still staring at Yu Ting.
Finally, he noticed a well-groomed man approaching her, shattering the serenity around her.
Yu Ting, who had been idly daydreaming, was disrupted by the man’s arrival. Looking up, she saw a well-dressed man with a drink in his hand coming her way, smiling.
"Director Yu."
"Ah... Hello."
Yu Ting responded with a faint smile and raised her glass a little.
"I’m from Xingkong Media." The man identified himself and then motioned to the dance floor, "Are you here alone? Any interest in dancing?"
"No, I am not good at dancing. I’d rather stay here than cause a scene."
Yu Ting replied with a smile, not trying to hide her lack of dancing prowess.
Dancing? Forget it.
She’s more suited to a fisticuffs match.
"Haha, Director Yu, if you can’t dance, you can learn. If you don’t mind, I could show you some steps."
The man offered, suggesting that building a good relationship with Director Yu would be beneficial.
"I mind." Yu Ting responded with a graceful smile, gently declining his offer with her warm tone.
If she truly wanted to learn, she would hire a teacher.
"My husband would mind too."
"Oh, right, how could I forget?"
"Director Yu, you seem like a straightforward person. I hope there will be opportunities for us to collaborate with VG in the future."
Following his brief moment of surprise, the man smoothly changed the topic. He raised his glass in a sincere toast.
She reciprocated by raising her glass and touching it to his in the air before taking a small sip.
