Chapter 509 Finale
Downstairs at that time.
The guests were entering at a leisurely pace.
After the new business elites entered the scene, they were followed by several familiar faces from the film and television industry.
In the middle of winter, female celebrities walked on the red carpet in haute couture dresses, and the hems of their skirts brought a faint fragrance as they swept across the red carpet.
Some of them held the producer's arm and smiled sweetly, while others walked slowly with their skirts lifted up. Every step they took seemed to be in the center of the spotlight, causing fans on both sides to scream softly.
Media reporters ran back and forth with cameras in hand, switching lenses between different faces, and the sounds of shutter clicks came one after another, like a tireless swarm of bees.
After all, it was the company's annual meeting, so Xu only invited a few actors from Haicheng and a few stars who had worked with Xu over the years.
Soon, the most dazzling stars of the evening entered the venue, ushering in the finale of the evening.
At this time, a low engine sound came from the distance. It was different from the ostentatious sound of ordinary luxury cars, but it carried a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
The crowd subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw a black extended Hummer slowly approaching, the body of the car glowing with a cold and hard metallic luster under the light, like a dormant beast.
As soon as the car stopped, the front and rear doors were opened by bodyguards at the same time. The first to get out of the car were several bodyguards in black. They quickly stood around the car, forming an invisible barrier.
The next second, a bony hand placed on the door frame on the right side of the car.
The hand was wearing a simple black watch, and the thin calluses on the fingertips were faintly visible. Just a gesture of raising the hand made the air on both sides of the red carpet seem to freeze for half a second.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Fangye stepped out of the car.
He was wearing a dark charcoal grey suit with a silver grey silk tie. The casualness of not wearing a bow tie only made his shoulders look broader and his waist narrower, making his figure as tall and straight as a bamboo.
The light fell on his angular profile, casting a sharp shadow on his tall nose. His thin lips were slightly pursed, giving him a sense of aloofness and coldness. But when his gaze swept across the crowd, his deep eyes were like a cold pool tempered by broken stars, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.
Although he is only thirty years old, he already has the calm aura of someone who is in charge of a huge business empire. Standing there, it seems as if the surrounding noise has become a blurred background.
"It's Xu Fangye from the Xu family!"
I don't know who let out a low cry first, and there was a commotion at the scene.
The female guests on both sides of the red carpet straightened their backs subconsciously. Some young socialites quietly adjusted their hair, and the admiration in their eyes almost overflowed.
The female reporters in the back row gripped their cameras even tighter, their fingertips turning white from the force, their lenses locked on him, afraid of missing a single angle.
After all, the Xu family's helmsman rarely appears in public, and every appearance is enough to make both the financial and entertainment sections boil.
"Oh my god, he's even more handsome than in the financial magazines..."
"He's looked here! Has he looked here?"
"I heard he's single..."
The whispers of discussion drifted away like feathers, carrying with them the joy of a young girl in love.
But Xu Fangye obviously didn't notice these gazes.
He closed the car door, turned around the front of the car, walked to the other door, and reached out to open the door very naturally.
This action brought the discussion at the scene to an abrupt halt.
Who can get Xu Fangye to open the car door himself?
The next second, everyone saw an old man being carefully helped down by Xu Fangye.
The old man was wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit with a coat of the same color on the outside. His hair was combed meticulously. In his hand, he was leaning on a crystal white jade cane with intricate cloud patterns carved on the top.
Although he is not tall, when he stands there, he has a majesty that has been accumulated over the years.
"It's Mr. Xu! Xu Qingrang!"
The senior reporter cried out.
The flash lights suddenly became denser and the shutter sounds became continuous, like a rapid symphony.
Everyone knows that Xu Qingrang has long retired behind the scenes, but he actually attended in person today. This in itself is big news that can set off a sensation in the business world!
The guests at the scene also looked sideways, and even those big shots who were originally proud of their status could not help but move forward to get a clearer look.
Just when everyone thought there was no one else in the car, Xu Fangye bent down again and reached out his hand into the car.
His movements were natural and gentlemanly, his palms facing upwards, as if he was waiting for a rare treasure.
This gesture made the scene quiet again, and everyone's eyes were glued to the tightly closed car door.
The breathing sounds on both sides of the red carpet seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing through the ribbons.
After a few seconds, a hand stretched out from inside the car.
It was an extremely beautiful hand, with skin so white that it was almost transparent, and the nails were trimmed neatly and rounded, with only a layer of light nude pink nail polish. There was a diamond ring on the ring finger, reflecting fine light under the light.
The hand gently placed into Xu Fangye's palm, like a feather falling on a rock.
Then, a shimmering skirt came out. It was a gradient champagne color, embroidered with fine silver threads, and it looked like a starry sky when she walked.
Only then did the talents finally stand on the red carpet.
Fang Li was wearing a floor-length dress today with a simple one-shoulder neckline. A white plush shawl wrapped around her shoulders, half revealing her delicate collarbone. Her long hair was loosely tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair hanging down on her cheeks, making her face even more beautiful.
She didn't wear too much jewelry, only a pair of jade earrings on her earlobes, which echoed the necklace around her neck and swayed gently with her movements.
The scene was completely quiet.
For a full three seconds, even the sound of the camera shutter disappeared.
Everyone was stunned.
Some were attracted by her beauty, while others were shocked as to why she appeared here and was being carefully protected by Xu Fangye?!
"Who is that?"
The first question broke the silence, like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly causing a thousand waves.
"I don't know her, but she looks so pretty and has a great temperament!"
"If he shows up with Xu Fangye, will he..."
"I know her! She seems to be Ms. Xu from Xingli Media? I've seen her before at the Film and Television Summit!"
"Xingli Media? Why is she with the Xu family?"
"Look at Xu Fangye... after helping the old man, he helped her too. Isn't this a special relationship?"
"Could it be...a fiancée?"
As soon as this guess came out, it immediately caused a round of gasps.
The admiration on the faces of the female guests instantly turned into inquiry and vigilance. Some of them stared at Fang Li, as if they wanted to find some flaws in her flawless face.
The male guests looked back and forth between Fang Li and Xu Fangye, their eyes filled with envy and ambiguity.
The reporters were in an uproar, their cameras clicking like machine guns, and they were eager to point the lenses at the three people's faces.
"Mr. Fang! What is your relationship with Mr. Xu?"
"Director Xu! You're here in person this time. Do you have any good news to announce?"
Questions came one after another, like a tide.
