Starlight Ceremony
The Starlight Ceremony arrived as scheduled.
There were still six hours left before the red carpet, and Cen Yuan was woken up again by Xie Qi, not for anything else, but to eat first to replenish energy, nothing else mattered.
There was a reason why so much money was spent on food on the last blind date. Zheng Jicue just stared at Cen Yuan and didn't notice that the dishes on the table had been changed several times. He even saw that Cen Yuan was eating all the time. He was very relieved that Cen Yuan didn't treat him badly like other stars.
It wasn't a natural awakening, and maintaining the status quo required more energy than usual for Cen Yuan. He wouldn't have woken up instinctively, so beyond that, he needed a lot of energy to stay awake.
More than once, the council had suggested that Xie Qi simply shut down, that they all go home and sleep it off, to get through this period. Compared to the other brothers, he and Xie Qi weren't in any major trouble. They were facing a sudden and unpredictable collapse of sanity, and he and Xie Qi only needed a massive amount of strength to maintain the status quo.
To be precise, only he needs it.
It was better for him to sleep than to be awake. When he was awake, it was a war of attrition. After he had exhausted himself, he would start to consume Xie Qi's. Besides that, he had to constantly eat to obtain energy. This was the simplest and most effective way at the moment.
The food on the table given to Cen Yuan was all rare and powerful, which was why the parliament was unhappy.
He is too energy-consuming. If he were to get into a fight now, he could empty the wealth of all his brothers by himself.
"The Zheng family has transferred the first payment. Their current requirement is to get your online friend to spend as much money as possible on you to tie him down."
"I thought they wanted his money more."
"You still have to hide it at the beginning. You have to see your strength first."
"You've spent over 100 million on me, and you still don't believe in my ability?"
"That can only be called investment, and the profit is far greater than the investment."
"He's really calculating. He can spend money, I can make money. The funds are growing, and they just have to wait for the harvest. He even has the contract in his hand. If I'm not happy, he can expose me. It's really amazing."
"But we never use ourselves for charity, do we?"
The two brothers looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Tianying’s Starlight Gala this time is of considerable scale, and the venue is the National Stadium in Beijing, which was rented for the event.
As one of Tianying's most sought-after partners, Tianying strongly requested Xie Qi to ensure that Cen Yuan attended, and also said that if Cen Yuan could come, he could help lobby Yu Xiushi for Cen Yuan's new play.
So Yu Xiushi would also be at this Starlight Gala. As for how Tianying had gotten Yu Xiushi to agree to attend such a fashion and brand-focused event, Xie Qi wasn't interested.
A large amount of dry ice was used in the venue, and a green and red carpet path was laid out on site to create a fairy-like atmosphere.
When Cen Yuan stepped onto the path in a light purple suit, the only sound in the venue was music.
When he walked from the other end, with just the right smile, it was as if a god had stepped into the world in the fog, bringing with him compassion and mystery.
It wasn't until he walked past the camera that everyone woke up. The director quickly cut the camera and followed Cen Yuan.
After taking the pen and signature from the etiquette lady, Cen Yuan picked up a glass of champagne from another etiquette lady, raised the glass to everyone with a smile, and the sound of shutters followed. The silver brooch on his suit shone with him, remaining in everyone's heart.
Including Zheng Jicue.
Zheng Jijue ultimately didn't find the scene. He felt Cen Yuan was right. He simply harassed the Zheng family several times over Cen Yuan's 50 million. But after seeing Cen Yuan's makeup today, he regretted it.
Zeng Xin clearly asked him today if he wanted to go, but he still refused due to Zeng Xin's doubts.
He stared at Cen Yuan with a strange look that he himself didn't even notice, until Cen Yuan sat down and the camera had to turn to other people.
fraud.
Relying on his friendship with Cen Yuan, he sent it directly and withdrew it in a second.
How could he know that his APP was completely different from the one used by Cen Yuan? Even if he withdrew it, Cen Yuan could still see what he withdrew.
Zheng Ji Jue: You look really good today.
Perhaps because he thought it was a strange thing to say, he withdrew.
Zheng Ji Jue: Mr. Cen, your look today is unmatched.
After waiting for a while, Cen Yuan replied slowly after making sure that he would not withdraw.
Cen Yuan: It seems that my photo props make me look like the CEO of a listed company.
The person on the other end was slow, probably because he knew I was watching, so he was considering the final answer before replying.
Zheng Ji Jue: I will just follow the lead of General Cen.
Cen Yuan sent him the transaction record of the money the Zheng family transferred to him: the first payment had arrived.
Zheng Ji Jue counted it and it was five million.
For the price of an SX.
How stingy! No wonder Zheng Yuanzhou nearly went bankrupt. Being so incompetent, he could only blame the bankruptcy on the fact that he gave birth to a boy when he supposedly gave birth to a girl.
A-All kinds of materials: Cen Yuan.jpg
A–All kinds of information: He looks really good today, everyone is looking at him, do you regret it?
Zheng Jijue was considering whether to block her.
A--All sorts of stuff: But he's been looking at his phone the whole time, I don't know who he's chatting with. Do you think I should go over and ask him to be my friend? I think a lot of people are taking advantage of Xie Qi's absence and getting ready to make a move.
Zheng Ji Jue ignored her and after thinking about it, he asked Cen Yuan.
Zheng Jicue: I heard that many people are watching you and want to add you as a friend. Why is Xie Qi not here?
What else can Xie Qi do if he is not there when he should be?
Cen Yuan: Zeng Xin?
It was a bit surprising. Zeng Xin wouldn't let the whole industry know about her deeds, right? It just showed that Zeng Xin was still not cautious enough.
Zheng Ji Jue: How do you know?
Cen Yuan: Because she was the only one who was looking at me while typing, the others were quite reserved.
Zheng Ji Jue: She wants to add you as a friend, don’t agree to her request.
Cen Yuan: Okay.
Zheng Ji Jue was very satisfied with his consent.
The Starlight Gala itself is a feast for the stars as well as a charity event, with big names and stars singing and dancing, while Cen Yuan came to donate money, not to be a versatile artist.
Throughout the entire event, Cen Yuan just ate and drank, and applauded the people on the stage from the audience, looking very relaxed and carefree.
It’s different on Xie Qi’s side.
In just a few years, he founded Changkong Entertainment, produced a popular top actor, and invested in various fields. He is now a well-deserved business upstart.
The key is that his face is not inferior to Cen Yuan, whom he made famous, and his temperament is completely different from Cen Yuan. Naturally, many people are willing to communicate with him more, and it would be best if they could negotiate a few projects.
He didn't even have to move around, the people at the table changed several times.
Tianying's boss was beaming, clearly pleased with Xie Qi's support. When Xiushi approached, Tianying's boss raised his glass and beckoned him over.
Yu Xiushi came over and toasted everyone at the table, stopping his glass in Xie Qi's direction. "Cheers, Mr. Xie."
Xie Qi glanced at him and raised his glass in return.
Tianying's boss clinked glasses with them. "Okay, okay, okay. Xiu Shi, if you have any difficulties, let's discuss them. I'm looking forward to your cooperation."
He turned around and said to Tao Junling across from him, "Xiao Ling, you should also pay attention to it."
Tao Junling should naturally be it.
The boss of Tianying is also one of the shareholders of Huatian Entertainment. He is of the same generation as Tao Peisheng, so Tao Junling has to call him uncle.
"Okay, if you have any difficulties, remember to tell me, and I won't bother you young people."
As soon as Tianying's boss left, everyone at the table fell into an awkward atmosphere.
They were originally in a cooperative relationship, but because of the stalemate over the lead actor issue, the atmosphere was naturally not very good.
Xie Qi glanced in Cen Yuan's direction and finished the wine in the glass. "I'm going to the bathroom." He stood up and left in silence.
"It seems that he has sought external help." Tao Junling shook the wine in his glass and broke the silence.
Yu Xiushi didn't respond. His eyes followed Xie Qi's gaze. Several people blocked his view, and he was slightly startled.
"I'm going to the bathroom too."
Tao Junling didn't notice his actions, thinking he was going to talk to Xie Qi. But what could they talk about in the bathroom? People were coming and going.
Yu Xiushi walked very fast, but when he was about to get close, those people walked to the side. When he stood in front of them and looked sideways, although their behavior was normal, Yu Xiushi could still see her attachment to the other person from that familiar face.
He wanted to follow, but just as he took a step, someone rushed out from beside him and tripped him. Fortunately, he held on to a chair beside him and did not fall.
"Director Yu, I'm sorry." When the man found out it was Yu Xiu, he quickly apologized.
"It's okay." Yu Xiushi glanced at it and didn't care, but the person over there had disappeared. He looked around, but unfortunately, in the light, if he lost his sight, it would be difficult to find the other person.
He stood there expressionless. So what? What if he was really sure?
When I walked back, I found that my shoes were dirty, so I had to go to the bathroom to clean them.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard someone say, "Mr. Xie..." There was a sign saying "Out of Service" next to the door.
Yu Xiushi paused, unsure whether to go in or not. He frowned, and a hint of disgust inadvertently revealed himself.
He really didn't want anyone like that in his movie.
Perhaps Xie Qi should know what it means to retreat when faced with difficulties. He walked in without hesitation, but the scene inside almost made him lose control of his expression.
It was just a quick glance before Xie Qi came towards him and pulled him out.
When Xie Qi arrived at the restroom, no one was there. He simply walked around, washed his hands, and then went to check on Cen Yuan.
He washed very carefully and blew his hands dry after washing. In just a short while, someone walked in, and after he came in, he heard the sound of something being placed at the bathroom door.
Xie Qi remained calm and continued to play.
When the man came in and confirmed that the person inside was Xie Qi, he suppressed his excitement and took two quick steps towards him when Xie Qi turned around.
Xie Qi was a head taller than him. He looked up with an innocent look on his face and called out in a soft, delicate, and slightly shy voice, "Mr. Xie..."
Then came the climax. He stepped on the ill-fitting and overlong trouser legs of the brand-name trousers he was wearing, and because he walked too fast, the clip on his waist fell off. His trousers were hanging on his usually confident hips, and he tripped and fell to the ground nearly 20 centimeters away from Xie Qi.
Although the fall was painful and beyond expectations, the purpose was almost the same. He ignored the pain and gently supported his upper body, revealing his neck, which had been praised by others. He tilted his head back, tears in his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Feeling embarrassed and miserable, she reached out to Xie Qi: "Boss Xie, can you give me a hand?"
In this situation, Xie Qi saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen. He felt that he was the worst off. So he walked around the man, absolutely not giving him a chance to reach out and touch him, and with a long stride he headed straight for the door.
