On the way back, Luo Shimiao received a call from Director He.
Director He: "Where are you guys? I sent you so many messages and you haven't replied to a single one. Did you go on a pilgrimage to the West?"
Luo Shimiao replied, "Um... we had something to do and came out without checking our phones. We're on our way back now."
"No need to come back. I'll send you my location in a bit, and we can all have a meal together."
"Okay, Director He."
After hanging up the phone, I quickly received the location from Director He.
While waiting at a red light, Luo Shimiao opened WeChat and saw 99+ unread messages from Director He. Her lips twitched. There was no need to send so many; scrolling up revealed all sorts of emojis. She decided not to bother looking.
She clicked on the location he sent, her brows furrowing slightly: "It's just a meal, Gu Nian, let's go straight there. We don't need to go back to change clothes; it's not only troublesome but also far."
Gu Nian: "Okay, whatever you say."
The pink sedan made a U-turn at the next intersection and headed towards the city center.
Twenty minutes later, the three people and the bird stepped into a five-star hotel in Lake City.
After entering the elevator, her fair fingers pressed the number 3 key.
"bite"
The elevator doors opened, and they saw Xiao Zhou waiting for them outside.
A few minutes before arriving at the hotel, Luo Shimiao sent a message to Director He.
When Xiao Zhou saw the two of them coming in their pajamas, he was taken aback: "Teacher Luo, Teacher Gu, why are you wearing pajamas?"
"Isn't it just a meal?" Luo Shimiao asked, puzzled.
"Um...you'll find out soon enough."
Xiao Zhou led them through several turns until they arrived at a large white door, which he then pushed open.
Dazzling light shone on them, while three cameras filmed them.
Luo Shimiao blurted out, "Did we come to the wrong place? This is a wedding venue!"
Live stream chat, bullet comments.
—【Wow, why did they show up in their pajamas?!】
—【Haha, were they still half asleep? Did they forget to change their clothes before coming over?】
—【Gu, the richest man, is in jeopardy. What kind of CEO shows up to a dinner party in pajamas and slippers?】
—【Only Third Brother is dressed a little better, hmm... he would look even better if he changed those floral pants.】
Lan Xinyue saw them, stood up and waved: "Goddess Miaomiao, this is over."
Luo Shimiao strode towards her.
"Pfft~" Cao Lu covered her mouth and laughed, "That's hilarious. It's the first time I've ever seen someone wear pajamas to a banquet. That's so casual."
Cao Lu, dressed in a black dress, sat at the main table, with Zhang Kailun, Zhou Yang, and Lan Xinyue sitting next to her in that order.
Lan Xinyue frowned: "Goddess Miaomiao, didn't the director inform you?"
"They should have notified me, but I didn't notice."
Director He stood on the stage, and when he saw the clothes they were wearing, his eyes widened instantly. He jumped off the stage and walked towards them.
"Come on, this isn't a pajama party, why are you all wearing pajamas!"
"I thought it was just a simple meal, and I was too lazy to go back and change, so I just came straight here." Luo Shimiao shrugged.
Director He couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Didn't I send you a message to let you know?"
Luo Shimiao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Look at the message you sent, an endless string of emojis!"
"Uh...it's your fault for not replying to me." Director He's eyes darted around.
"I'm not going to answer. Why don't you just call?"
Director He: "Didn't we fight later? Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Before it starts, you two should go and buy some decent clothes nearby. I spent a lot of money on this starry-themed wedding banquet hall. Each of you couples will have to walk the runway later."
"I want to finish this last day perfectly. Your clothes are too dirty. I'll give you 40 minutes. You were originally supposed to be the first to go on stage, but now I've moved you to the last. Make sure you get back within 40 minutes."
Luo Shimiao: "Received!"
After saying that, she pulled Gu Nian and Luo Jianxing and ran towards the door.
Luo Jianxing: "I don't need to go on stage, why are you dragging me there!"
"Let's stay together, just consider it as keeping us company."
Fortunately, this is in the city center, and there is a large shopping mall right across from the hotel.
Inside a high-end luxury brand store.
Luo Shimiao pointed to a dress and said, "Take my size, iron it, I need to wear it now because I'm in a hurry."
The salesperson was visibly taken aback for a moment: "Okay, okay."
Gu Nian and Luo Jianxing were in the men's clothing section.
Seeing Gu Nian take the clothes into the fitting room, I thought, since I'm already here, I might as well get a set too.
Time flies, and half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
At the live broadcast, the opening ceremony had already begun, and the previously empty seats were now full of people.
Ten people sit at each table, and a transparent sign is placed in the center of the table, with a piece of white paper inside on which their names are written.
It turns out that the director, to thank everyone for their support of the show, selected 300 fans to attend their dinner party.
Each pair of couples had 100 fans present, with 10 people per table, making a total of 10 tables. Each fan's name tag had the name of their respective couple written on it.
The director, acting as the host, stood on stage with a microphone and said, "Thank you all for coming. I hope you have a great time tonight."
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
The person who was originally sitting at the main table is gone.
After the applause subsided, Director He continued, "Next, please welcome Cao Lu and Zhang Kailun!"
The stage lights dimmed, and as the music started, photos of Cao Lu and Zhang Kailun appeared on the stage screen.
The door was opened from the inside by staff, and Cao Lu walked in slowly with Zhang Kailun by her arm, and then walked onto the catwalk.
As I walked to the center of the stage, the music stopped and the lights came on.
Cao Lu and Zhang Kailun expressed their gratitude, bowed, and returned to the main table.
Director He returned to the center of the stage and said excitedly, "Next, please welcome our handsome Zhou Yang and lovely Lan Xinyue."
The main entrance was opened again, and Lan Xinyue, wearing a light purple dress, walked in arm in arm with Zhou Yang, who was wearing a white suit.
Lan Xinyue looked at the photos playing on the screen, and her eyes slowly reddened.
After Director He stepped off the stage, he called Luo Shimiao: "Answer the phone, answer the phone!"
Just as the call was about to automatically disconnect, it was answered.
"Are you back yet? You're next!" Director He stamped his feet anxiously.
"Almost there, almost there, just buy us two more minutes," Luo Shimiao replied, panting.
Beep beep beep....
Before Director He could even finish speaking, the phone call was disconnected.
On stage, Lan Xinyue delivered her thank-you speech with choked voice, glancing at Director He in the audience, who winked at her with a twisted old face.
Three question marks appeared above Lan Xinyue's head. What is the director doing?
Director He continued gesturing when he saw that she didn't understand.
Looking at Director He's "vivid" expression, Lan Xinyue felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
After Director He's brilliant "interpretation," Lan Xinyue finally understood what he meant.
