Half an hour later, the car had moved only one kilometer. At this rate, they wouldn’t reach their destination even by the next morning.
Jiang Chunlan furrowed her brows; even the best of tempers couldn’t stand this snail -like pace.
“What is the Ministry of Transport doing?”
Zhou Xue immediately replied, “Madam, the Ministry of Transport has actually been taking control of this for the past few days. They have implemented traffic restrictions on Jiangzhou vehicles and added numerous traffic officers to work overtime, but the traffic jams near the sports stadium where the auction house is located are unavoidable.”
Madam Shen looked enviously at the young girls on the side of the road and sighed, “It’s so nice to be young, to be able to chase stars boldly. If I were twenty years younger, I would be even crazier than them.”
“Celebrities are nothing but tools for capital to make money. They are all products of marketing. What’s so good about them?”
Mrs. Gu’s cold words made the smile on Madam Shen’s face disappear.
“Mrs. Gu, what you said is a bit biased. Let’s not talk about other celebrities, but I do know a few things about Qu Feitai, the one we’re discussing now. My daughter really likes him. He writes all his songs himself and is very talented. He’s not like other marketing-created celebrities.”
Jiang Chunlan nodded, “Madam Shen is right. This Xiao Qu does have some talent.”
Madam Shen glanced at Mrs. Gu triumphantly. Since even Madam Jiang agreed, she should acknowledge her narrow-mindedness.
Mrs. Guts face lost some color in embarrassment, but since the person speaking was Jiang Chunlan, she couldn’t vent her anger. Her eyes fell on Ming Jing, who was watching the scene outside the car window without any expression, and she pursed her lips.
“As a capitalist, Ms. Zhu should have the most say. However, girls of your age tend to be vain and like to pursue young and handsome looks, which doesn’t seem wrong either.”
Mrs. Gu suddenly portrayed Ming Jing as a shallow, face-loving, celebrity-chasing girl.
Ming Jing gave a faint smile, turned her gaze back to Mrs. Gu, and lightly swept her eyes across the woman. Her clear, ice-water-like gaze made Mrs.
She instinctively furrowed her brows and averted her eyes from Ming Jing’s gaze.
“Being a celebrity is just a profession, no different from lawyers, doctors, or civil servants. It’s just that the nature of their work differs slightly. There is no distinction between high or low, noble or inferior occupations. As long as they respect their profession and contribute to the growth and development of their industry, they deserve everyone’s respect. As a talented creator, Qu Feitai has won numerous awards and advanced the development of the Chinese music industry. He deserves the honor he’s received.”
It was hard for Ming Jing not to remember everything, given that Tao Xingxing always chattered about it in her ear.
If Qu Feitai could hear Ming Jing’s words, he would probably jump for joy.
Madam Shen smiled and said, “Ms. Zhu is so right. This is the point! We’re in the 21st century now; there shouldn’t be any career discrimination. Isn’t that right, Mrs. Gu?”
Mrs. Gu snorted coldly, “Quibbling,” and turned to gaze out the window.
Jiang Chunlan’s eyes lingered on Ming Jing’s face while she smiled, “Indeed, we haven’t lived as openly as Ming Jing. We’ve wasted our lives for decades.”
If Mrs. Gu knew Qu Feitai’s true identity, she probably wouldn’t have said such words.
It’s the division of people into hierarchies that assigned social status to different professions.
Despite their slow progress, they finally arrived at the destination at around 7:30.
Ming Jing silently followed Jiang Chunlan into the venue.
Upon entering the hall, crystal chandeliers overhead refracted brilliant, dazzling rays of light. The political and business elites who could only be seen on TV were merrily mingling here. Everyone was exchanging pleasantries with each other.
The attendees didn’t even come close to the level of those seen at ordinary high society banquets. This was a gathering of top-notch celebrities.
Zhu Wentao neither had the qualifications nor the ability to join such circles.
If it weren’t for Jiang Chunlan’s presence, Ming Jing wouldn’t have had the qualifications to set foot in here with her current identity, either.
Class has always been an insurmountable gap, whether in ancient or modern times, domestic or foreign.
Upon seeing Jiang Chunlan and her companions, someone immediately approached them warmly.
Ming Jing silently followed Jiang Chunlan.
“Madam Jiang, I didn’t expect to see you here. Why didn’t you give us a heads-up? We should have saved you a good seat.”
Jiang Chunlan smiled, “It was a last-minute decision. I brought the younger generation to broaden their horizons.”
The man’s eyes fell suspiciously on Ming Jing; her gentle and beautiful appearance would always catch the eye of the opposite sex. This was the most primitive desire of humans.
“This is ..21′
“Mr. Shen, this is the famous Ms. Zhu from Jiangzhou, the real heiress of the Zhu family.” Madam Shen laughed as she covered her mouth..
