There were already quite a few people inside, and the scene was quite impressive.
Ren Anran, who was chatting and eating melons with her girlfriends, suddenly had a bright idea.
She turned her head and saw two incredibly good-looking people, a man and a woman, walking in. Ren Anran excitedly patted the person next to her.
"Look, two beautiful women and a handsome man are walking towards us!"
The sisters who heard the keywords also looked up and became excited.
"How come I've never seen these two people before?"
Ren Anran shook her head, "I don't know, but this young lady is so beautiful! The little flowers I just became a fan of a couple of days ago don't seem so appealing anymore."
A girl next to her nudged her shoulder and said, "That handsome guy is your type, why don't you go and find out more about him?"
She turned around and rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"Please, they came together, it's obvious they're a couple. If you like them, go for it yourself."
Let her go and find out? It's one thing for this person to like it, but to actually shift the blame onto her? Does he think she's stupid?
"I only let you go because you like it, you don't know what's good for you."
Ren Anran was speechless. "Which eye of yours saw that I liked you? You're like a tapeworm in my stomach, you know me so well?"
The girl scoffed, turned and left to her friends.
Another girl covered her mouth and laughed, "She probably went to that suck-up best friend for help again."
Ren Anran shook her head and sighed, "Her best friend is a bit silly."
"She had ulterior motives. Her father worked for someone else, so she couldn't afford to offend him."
Ren Anran didn't continue the topic, and took a glass of champagne towards Shi Xing.
This girl has captured her heart; she always likes to take the initiative, especially when it comes to pretty girls!
As soon as Shi Xing entered, he felt someone's gaze on him. Following the gaze, he saw a bright-looking girl in a light pink dress approaching with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Ren Anran from Dengyun Group."
She handed him the champagne, which Shi Xing took.
"Hello, Ms. Ren, I am Shi Xing."
Ren Anran picked up the conversation, "Miss Shi, you are so beautiful. I never even noticed before."
"I only recently arrived in Shanghai, and this is my first time attending a banquet. It's normal that you haven't seen it before."
Shi Xing didn't say it explicitly, so Ren Anran naturally assumed that she had studied in some country before. However, there was no one with the surname Shi in the upper echelons of Shanghai, so it must be from another province or city.
"So you plan to develop your career in Shanghai? Let's add each other as friends and hang out together."
Shi Xing nodded and readily agreed. She had been wanting to get to know them anyway, and this was exactly what she needed.
Xu Bai, who was behind her, took out her phone, and the two added each other as friends.
Ren Anran was a very outgoing person and introduced her to his circle of friends.
Shi Xing turned around and gestured to Xu Bai that he should go aside and socialize.
Xu Bai and his team resolved many problems for themselves and made a small appearance, gaining recognition from those they had business dealings with.
She's actually more famous than her boss.
However, it's also her own fault for not liking work. But who would like to go to work if someone is helping them?
Ren Anran is the third daughter of the CEO of Dengyun Group. Dengyun Group is no ordinary small company; it is one of the top companies in Shanghai.
Her circle of friends is naturally among the top in the industry, which is fortunately something that came easily to her.
Ren Anran introduced her enthusiastically, and the group chatted for a while about beauty products and new clothes and jewelry.
Someone steered the conversation towards gossip, and they excitedly shared their thoughts in whispers.
"Hey, do you guys know which company recently bought out Tan Palace in full?"
Everyone shook their heads; they really didn't know that.
Shi Xing raised an eyebrow, surprisingly mentioning the protagonist.
"There aren't many people with this kind of financial resources, and none of them are people we know. It seems they're from somewhere else."
As Ren Anran uttered those words, she suddenly remembered something and unconsciously glanced at Shi Xing beside her.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, the others all shut their mouths.
Shi Xing coughed lightly and smiled, "It's mine."
Their pupils unexpectedly dilated—was it really true?
"He's a man of few words, but he's very capable."
Ren Anran blinked, grasping the information in her words: the difference between "my" and "my family's" is significant.
"Yours? Fortunately, you mean yours?"
"Yes, it was just renovated recently. I'll invite you to come over sometime." Shi Xing nodded with a smile.
They were somewhat surprised; it seemed this new girl was no ordinary person. They immediately chimed in, "Great! We'll be waiting!"
"I've just arrived in Shanghai and don't have many friends yet, but you're welcome anytime."
Suddenly, someone remembered the video they had been watching. No wonder it sounded so familiar. Wasn't this the top science student in Baiyun Province's college entrance examination?
She gave Shi Xing a strange look, but finally asked out of curiosity, "Miss Shi, are you the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Baiyun Province?"
Shi Xing looked at her, quite surprised that she remembered this.
"Yes, Jiajia, you've used it? You have such a good memory, I didn't expect you to remember this."
Li Jiajia smiled sheepishly, "I just happened to see it by chance."
The group looked at Shi Xing with curiosity.
"Xingxing, you're amazing! You're the top scorer in the province!"
"Yeah, I didn't know you were such a top student!"
"Don't flatter me. Everyone here is capable. I'll have plenty of questions to ask you in the future," Shi Xing said, taking a sip of champagne.
"Speaking of which, isn't today Guan Qianqian and Lu Yanting's engagement banquet? Why don't we see them here?"
"Hey, you all know that Lu Yanting is resisting a lot and is definitely pulling him back. I don't know why Guan Qianqian has to go through all that trouble."
"She loves Lu Yanting to death, and now that she's finally got her wish, she must be overjoyed. Besides, her family will definitely give her a lot of help after she's married into the Lu family."
When other gossip came up, everyone immediately started talking again.
Shi Xing also pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.
"Although she was a bit embarrassed, at least she got what she wanted. Lu Yanting is so handsome. She got the ideal husband of many people in the industry. I would be happy too."
Ren Anran curled her lips in disgust, "You're willing to lick him? Sister, have something better to eat."
The others also looked at Li Jiajia, who was speaking, with amusement.
Li Jiajia shuddered at the thought of Guan Qianqian's actions and her renowned reputation in the industry. Besides, Lu Yanting was only passable in appearance; the rest of him was really not her type.
"Forget it, I was just saying."
Ren Anran whispered again, "Guess who I just saw?"
Everyone asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Shi Xing was also curious; everyone says there are lots of gossip in the entertainment industry, and today she was finally going to get to hear about it.
"Lu Yanting's little lover."
"Wow," Shi Xing couldn't help but exclaim softly.
They're really going all out! They even brought their lover along – this is someone's engagement party!
The others were also incredulous; they were in for a good show.
"This is an engagement banquet, what is Lu Yanting's little lover doing here? Is she going to ruin the engagement banquet or steal the bride?"
Ren Anran shook her head, glanced up and said in a guilty voice, "Look, they're over there."
