When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First - Chapter 409

409 The Difficulty Of A Small Actress, Taking An Ungraceful Path
In the banquet hall.

Bernice was wearing a dark purple silk dress, standing under the crystal lamp. The special material of the dress reflected different colors under the light.

Coupled with the fact that purple itself was very eye-catching, anyone who entered the banquet hall would notice Bernice at first glance.

No one spoke to Bernice even though she held a lot of attention.

The others gathered in groups of twos and threes, smiling and chatting happily. Only Bernice was alone and looked out of place.

There was no other reason except that Bernice was an unknown C-list or D-list celebrity.

Her most outstanding works were the passerby beauties who did not have any lines in the popular dramas.

Her acting skills were average, her looks were average, and she had no background or resources. It was quite difficult for Bernice to struggle in the entertainment industry. From being full of anticipation when she first entered the industry to enduring humiliation and burden now, Bernice was willing to do anything as long as she could be chosen by the big boss.

“Look at her. Why is she standing there?” Penny’s voice came from the group chat a meter away.

Bernice pretended not to hear, but she deliberately puffed out her chest, stuck out her butt, and tried to make her figure more prominently hourglass-like.

“Pfft!” A merciless sneer came from the other end. “Look at what she’s doing. Is she performing a cabaret show? Hahahaha.”

“It’s too much of a hindrance to stand in the middle of the road. Don’t tell me you think you’re beautiful.”

“Do you know her?”

“I can tell by looking at her cheap dress that she shouldn’t be out here. How could I possibly know her?”

The discussion had no intention of hiding it.

Bernice saw the two actresses mocking her from the corner of her eye. Just by looking at their faces, she could remember their names. This was because there was a popular ancient drama where these two played the third female lead and the female lead’s maidservant.

Their characters were not bad, and their personas were very good. The two actresses relied on this drama to attract a lot of fans. They must have been officially invited.

“Hey, what are you doing?” A wavy woman in a designer suit walked up to Bernice.

Bernice could ignore naked ridicule but she was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw this woman. She immediately covered her chest and lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

Seeing this, the woman rolled her eyes at Bernice and tugged at Bernice’s dress in disdain. “You rushed over with a bright rag. Are you not embarrassed enough standing under the light? I really shouldn’t have brought you here!”

The woman’s name was Zhao Yanqiao. She was from the same company as Bernice and was also a popular singer supported by the company. She was always on a comedic variety show. With her straightforward personality, she was very popular with young people.

Logically speaking, with Bernice’s status, she was not fated to attend the banquet. However, other than being an actress, she was also Zhao Yanqiao’s errand girl which was why she was willing to bring her along.

“I accidentally got separated. I thought you should be able to see me standing here,” Bernice explained.

Zhao Yanqiao glared at her and looked around. She realized that many people were looking at them with unfriendly smiles.

“Change your clothes. You’ve embarrassed the company!” Zhao Yanqiao suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth.

Bernice nodded slightly and avoided Zhao Yanqiao.

As soon as she left Zhao Yanqiao’s sight, Bernice immediately revealed a disdainful expression.

She didn’t have a big brand endorsement and couldn’t afford a decent gown. Of course she knew that this purple dress was too tacky but she had no choice!

“If I can’t even endure this little difficulty, how can I survive in the entertainment industry?!” Bernice encouraged herself.

Tonight, she had to find a backer!

She was willing to pay any price, even if it was her body!

Suddenly, Bernice noticed an unexpected figure.

Luo Feng!

He was a hot topic in the industry. He had made a name for himself as a good boss and did not hesitate to offend the director and the senior company for the sake of his employees!

Bernice did not expect Luo Feng to be so much more handsome in person than in the photo!

And he was alone at this moment!
This was a little strange.

This celebration banquet was organized by Luo Feng after all. He was the undisputed protagonist tonight. When it was time to socialize, there was actually no one beside him!

Bernice realized that this was a great opportunity.

If she could jump ship to Luo Feng’s company, she would not be as desperate as she was now. Moreover…

Bernice looked down at her figure. The thin and soft fabric was against her skin, outlining her curves. One could even see some details if she moved skillfully.

Just as Zhao Yanqiao had said, this bold and embarrassing dress was not suitable for the theme of the banquet, but one could not deny that it was hot. Men were visual animals and would definitely be attracted.

Bernice raised her chest and sashayed towards Luo Feng.

At this moment, Luo Feng had yet to realize that he had already been targeted by someone.

He leaned against the wall and stared at the gentle smiley face in the crowd. Ai Tingya was surrounded by five debuting contestants. They held hands and had an endless chat.

Many people surrounded Ai Tingya to greet her because they knew that she was the lady boss of the Innovative Artist Company and she was also very beautiful.

This created an opportunity for Luo Feng to take a break.

He stood in a corner with his back against the wall as he watched his Tingya glow in the crowd.

“Hello.”

A delicate female voice reached Luo Feng’s ears.

He turned his head and saw an unfamiliar girl dressed very eye-catchingly looking at him with shy eyes. She pursed her lips and was looking at him affectionately.

Luo Feng stood up and took half a step back to distance himself from the person.

“Hello,” Luo Feng said calmly.

“What a wonderful gathering.” Bernice sighed. She was full of flattery. After praising him, she introduced herself. “My name is Bernice.”

“My name is Luo Feng,” Luo Feng said. “All of the banquet halls here look like this. I think it’s not bad.”

After the introduction, Luo Feng turned to look at Ai Tingya.

Even though there were many celebrities attending the banquet, Luo Feng still liked to look at Ai Tingya the most.

Seeing this, Bernice pretended not to see that Luo Feng had no desire to talk and continued to move forward. “I’ve long heard of President Luo’s reputation. I’m really touched to see you in person today!”

“Yes,” Luo Feng replied indifferently.

“By the way, President Luo, do you have any other plans tonight? I have something to ask you.” Bernice hugged Luo Feng’s arm and squeezed her voluptuous chest.

The soft touch made Luo Feng’s hair stand on end. He retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Good lord, it had always been normal for him to brave the entertainment industry for so long. He did not expect to encounter the legendary rule today—asking for the unspoken rules!

Bernice’s attitude and words were so ambiguous.

She blinked her watery eyes as if there was a hook in them. She bit her lips lightly with her white teeth and was about to approach him in the next second.

Luo Feng was not feeling well and only wanted to hide far away.

He didn’t want to lose his integrity. Besides, this girl couldn’t compare to Ai Tingya in any way. How could she dare to come out and show her face!
