The assistant rolled his eyes, recalling the day the boss went on a wild and arrogant spree, demanding the resort's decorations be temporarily removed.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and had the resort extend the stay by a month; otherwise, Xiao Yuan would have been in deep trouble.
The banquet had officially begun, and Bai Qingzhi and Ou Yiyi had finished eating. Originally, Bai Qingzhi had only brought Ou Yiyi along to gain prestige, so she didn't have any intention of making friends with other people for the time being.
The banquet was very lively. Most of the attendees were celebrities who frequently appeared in the industry, while a small number of others came to make connections.
There are almost no people as relaxed as the two of them.
After Ou Yiyi took photos with several big names, the two of them sat in a corner. Since they didn't have much of a status yet, they naturally had to wait until the event ended before they could leave.
Just as the two were chatting about the latest gossip, a woman walked over from not far away with a smile on her face.
Bai Qingzhi recognized her at a glance; it was because of her that the stylist had stood them up today.
Yuan Xin noticed the two of them from a distance. To become a top-tier movie star, one naturally needs to spend a lot of time on social media to keep up with the activities of other artists.
Therefore, Yuan Xin cautiously inquired with his assistant about Bai Qingzhi's familiar face before he could find out her identity.
Caution is the most crucial reason why she has been able to get this far.
"Did you two come here on your own?" Yuan Xin asked with a friendly smile.
The two stood up. No matter what they felt inside, they must not show any other emotions on their faces when dealing with their senior.
Bai Qingzhi smiled politely but didn't mention the stylist incident.
Just as the three were talking, two more women walked over, whom Bai Qingzhi did not recognize.
Clearly, Yuan Xin didn't recognize him either.
The two seemed very excited, bowing and scraping to Yuan Xin before asking if they could take a picture.
Yuan Xin seemed to have a decent personality so far, and since Bai Qingzhi hadn't heard anything bad about him, she guessed that Yuan Xin probably wouldn't refuse.
Sure enough, Yuan Xin agreed with a smile.
After a few minutes' delay, Yuan Xin politely took his leave after taking the group photo.
Bai Qingzhi and Ou Yiyi were about to return to their seats to wait for the banquet to end when the two women caught up with them before they could even take a step.
"Sisters, were you also recommended by Lilith?" one of them asked excitedly.
The two of them didn't know who Lilith was, so they honestly shook their heads.
The woman's face showed understanding. She had already inquired and found out that there were three types of people who came today: those invited by the princess, those recommended by Lilith, a famous socialite in the entertainment industry, and those brought in by others.
She and her sister had paid a hefty price to get the tickets from Lilith.
I couldn't help but look them up and down; they were definitely cute.
She had long heard that some wealthy people liked this type of woman, so the woman subconsciously categorized Bai Qingzhi and the other woman as the kind who were kept by others.
Other thoughts flashed across her face as the woman couldn't wait to get closer to Bai Qingzhi.
They subtly inquired whether they could introduce some friends to them.
After listening for a while, Bai Qingzhi finally understood what the woman meant. Although she was somewhat offended, this kind of situation was quite normal in the entertainment industry, and she wasn't angry.
After giving a lukewarm reply, Bai Qingzhi didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she made up an excuse to leave.
Just as she turned around, she bumped into someone. Luckily, Ou Yiyi caught her in time, preventing her from falling.
However, he still sprained his ankle.
It was a slight pain, but within tolerable limits.
"Qingzhi! It really is you! It looks just like you from a distance."
It's curved.
Wanwan's popularity has recently increased again, so she was a focus of attention at this gathering. When she said those words in a loud voice of surprise, everyone's attention once again fell on Bai Qingzhi and the other person.
If I'm not mistaken, Bai Qingze personally served her the food, right?
Bai Qingzhi and Wanwan only met once, but the impression Wanwan left on her was quite good, and Bai Qingzhi was willing to talk to her.
After introducing themselves to each other, Wanwan enthusiastically pulled Ou Yiyi into a casual chat.
Just then, Bai Qingze walked over.
The banquet was about to end, and Bai Qingze was worried about the safety of the two girls going back to the hotel that night, so he decided to take them with him.
"Bai Qingze!" Wanwan's eyes widened with excitement when she saw Bai Qingze, and she took out a notebook from her assistant's bag and rushed over.
"Idol, please give me your autograph!" Wanwan exclaimed excitedly.
Bai Qingze looked at her face and thought for a while before remembering who Wanwan was. He politely did not refuse and quickly signed his name.
"Qingzhi, I'll take you back in a bit," Bai Qingze said to his sister, handing the banknotes back to Wanwan.
Actually, he had another purpose.
"Idol, idol, can I come with you?" she asked eagerly, her bright eyes sparkling.
Bai Qingze thought for a moment, and since he still had room in his car, he nodded in agreement.
Ou Yiyi stood beside Bai Qingzhi, feeling a pang of jealousy as she watched their interaction.
I had to take several deep breaths to suppress the sourness.
Bai Qingzhi looked at the three of them, then sighed softly.
After agreeing on a departure time, Bai Qingze was taken by his assistant to talk to other artists, while Wanwan was also very busy, constantly moving between various big names.
"Yi-yi, do you really like my second brother?" Bai Qingzhi asked, her words muffled as she held a small cake in her hand.
Ou Yiyi frowned, pondering the meaning of "like".
He nodded firmly after a long pause.
"If you like her, be brave! I support you!" Bai Qingzhi clenched her fist to cheer her on.
Ou Yi took a deep breath, then stood up, looked at Bai Qingze's position, nodded vigorously at Bai Qingzhi, and strode over.
Qingzhi is right, if you like someone, you should say it out loud.
Bai Qingzhi watched her retreating figure and slowly smiled, then muttered to herself:
"Second brother, don't thank me!"
"Miss, are you alone?" A male voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Bai Qingzhi.
Turning around, I saw a man a few years older than me smiling at me; it was he who had asked the question I had just heard.
Bai Qingzhi always had a strong sense of safety, so she simply nodded politely without answering.
The man didn't pay any attention and took out a business card from his pocket.
He is the executive director of Star-Making Entertainment and also the cousin of the female protagonist at today's banquet.
“Miss Bai probably doesn’t know me, but I’ve heard of your name. I must say, you have excellent taste; Ou Yiyi is indeed a promising talent.” The man spoke calmly and unhurriedly, exuding a gentle and refined air.
It does lower people's guard a bit.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir, but I was just doing it out of interest," Bai Qingzhi replied politely.
The two talked for a while longer, and then the man slowly took a step closer.
"I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Miss Bai to dinner someday?"
