a shame!
"Forget it, An'an, why are you arguing with her?" One of the classmates walked up to Tang An. "Did you really say that N would take you as his last disciple?"
“Of course it’s true,” Tang An continued. “My cousin is a famous cartoonist!”
"Wow, I'm so envious of you, An'an!" the classmate continued. "When you go to the banquet, can you bring me N's autographed item?"
"Of course!" Tang An nodded readily.
"Thank you, An'an."
--
The day of the banquet arrived quickly.
Tang An, dressed in an elegant formal suit, attended the banquet with Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai is very popular in the industry. As soon as he arrived, someone greeted him, "Teacher Shi, right? My daughter really likes your comics. Could you give me an autograph later so I can take it back for my daughter?"
“Sure.” Shi Mubai nodded, then added, “By the way, Teacher Dong, this is my cousin, Tang An.”
Tang An immediately recognized him as Dong Shanqing, a well-known figure in the literary world.
Dong Shanqing's works have been selected for inclusion in elementary school textbooks.
He is also one of the few authors who still live on in textbooks.
Tang An immediately greeted Dong Shanqing respectfully.
If you can get along well with Dong Shanqing, you'll have more connections in the future.
Dong Shanqing looked at Shi Mubai and continued, "I heard that N, a big shot in the Go world, will also be attending the banquet tonight. I wonder if I will be able to meet him tonight."
"I think so. My editor specifically told me that N will be going on stage to receive the award tonight."
Dong Shanqing nodded. "I hope so!"
Besides being a writer, Dong Shanqing is also a Go enthusiast. He has watched almost every match of N's games, so he is also a Go fan of N.
He's liked N for a long time!
After Dong Shanqing left.
Tang An looked at Shi Mubai, "Brother Mubai, when will N arrive?"
She was already getting impatient.
Shi Mubai glanced at his watch. "Let's go ask the president of the arts and culture association."
He has a fairly good relationship with Lin Shen, the president of the literary and art circles.
Shi Mubai led Tang An to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen was very busy at the moment. When he heard Shi Mubai's words, he said while looking at the guest list, "Mubai, wait a moment. Boss N should be here soon. I will definitely introduce her to you when she arrives."
Shi Mubai smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, President Lin."
"You're welcome. Let me tell you a secret: Boss N is very young, in a way you can't imagine."
Upon hearing this, Tang An narrowed his eyes.
It seems that N is a young and talented big shot!
Furthermore, N should be a male.
Because there are very, very few female Go players.
Since he's a man, that makes things easier, because no man can resist her charm.
We returned to the banquet hall.
Tang An suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. Her pupils contracted, and her eyes were filled with shock.
All I could see was...
Jiang Ning, standing in the crowd, was dressed in a black evening gown, radiating light like an elegant black swan, with graceful movements.
Why is she here?
Seeing that Tang An looked unwell, Shi Mubai immediately asked with concern, "An'an, what's wrong?"
Tang An continued, "Brother Mu Bai, do you think that person is Sheng Bao?"
Jiang Ning?!
Upon hearing this, Shi Mubai immediately looked up and, sure enough, saw Jiang Ning.
Shi Mubai frowned slightly.
Why is Jiang Ning here?
Tang An lowered his voice, "Brother Mu Bai, did Sheng Bao secretly follow us here?"
Tang An couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
Shi Mubai was wondering why Jiang Ning was here, but upon hearing Tang An's words, he suddenly understood, and his face was filled with disgust. "She's shameless! As expected of someone raised in the countryside, she's not presentable enough to be presentable. She actually used such despicable methods to attend the banquet. It's disgusting!"
Tang An tugged at Shi Mubai's sleeve, "Brother Mubai, don't say that about Shengbao. She's your sister too. If I can come here, she can naturally come too. Although what Shengbao did was indeed a bit underhanded, Brother Mubai, please don't expose her. After all, she's my grandmother's darling. If you insist on exposing her, my grandmother will lose face."
"Second Madam spoils her, but I won't. If this continues, she'll become unruly! Tonight, I have to kick her out of the banquet hall!"
Tang An had no choice but to follow Shi Mubai's footsteps, but a smug smile appeared on his lips.
Just wait!
Jiang Ning is about to be in trouble, and she'll be even more humiliated than her.
Shi Mubai walked directly in front of Jiang Ning and blocked her way. "Stop!"
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Shi Mubai launched into a tirade, "Shi Sheng, let me tell you, this banquet tonight is for bigwigs in the arts and culture world, not a place for someone like you! Don't think that just because you sneaked in under my cousin's name you can become a member of the arts and culture world. Let me tell you! Never!"
"I advise you to leave here immediately, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Tang An stood next to Shi Mubai and said, "Shengbao, you're being too reckless. Even if Brother Mubai didn't bring you to the banquet, you can't sneak in! If this gets out of hand, how will Grandma face anyone? I advise you to apologize to Brother Mubai right away!"
Just then, Lin Shen walked over from the side, looked at Jiang Ning with a respectful expression in his eyes, and said, "Big Boss N, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After saying that, Lin Shen turned to Shi Mubai and said, "Mubai, aren't you the one who admires N the most? Let me introduce you. This is your idol, Boss N. What do you think? Isn't Boss N very young?"
