Chapter 328: Still Too Plain

“I’ve already given the video to He Jun.”
“He will find a way to post it anonymously.”
“I reckon there will be a big commotion tonight.”
Chen Lan leaned against the door and watched Song Qingyou put on her makeup.
“There might be a lot of people at the banquet tonight. Don’t bring Zhizhi there.”
Song Qingyou nodded. “Sister Lan, you don’t have to take care of Zhizhi. I’ll leave him at home.”
She would also use the new camera in the living room to see how the cat typed.
Chen Lan hummed in agreement and asked, “You really don’t need a stylist to come over and style you?”
“No need.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that I didn’t have an invitation, I would have gone with you. Teacher Ji has some connections in the business world. There are a lot of people at the banquet. You have to be careful.”
“You still don’t trust my martial strength?” Song Qingyou asked with a smile as she put on lipstick.
“Of course I’m not worried about you.”
After all, she was a big shot who could kill people with just a random rock.
“The problem is that I’m afraid that some people will play tricks.”
“I will be careful.” Song Qingyou nodded.
Today, she was going to attend the 6oth birthday of the famous media person, Ji Hui.
Ye Guiwan seemed to be upset about almost killing Zhizhi last time, so she asked her manager to send Song Qingyou an invitation.
Ji Hui was a host on the national channel in the early days, but he later retired to work behind the scenes. In front of the public, his popularity was definitely very low, but as long as one wasn’t a newbie in the industry, they would definitely know who he was.
Not only in the entertainment industry, but Ji Hui also had a lot of connections in the business world and even the political world.
Some A-list and B-list celebrities would fight to get their hands on his 6oth birthday invitation.
Ye Guiwan was able to send Song Qingyou another invitation because she used to be Ji Hui’s student, so they had a good teacher-student relationship and often kept in touch.
The school that Ji Hui worked at was University A.
Therefore, even without Ye Guiwan’s invitation, Song Qingyou could easily get an invitation if she wanted to go.
As an artist, no matter how much Song Qingyou disliked banquets, she had to participate in these necessary social interactions.
Besides, she had yet to find a suitable director for her new script.
It was very likely that some famous directors would appear at Ji Hui’s birthday banquet, which saved Song Qingyou the trouble of looking for them one by one.
In the evening, Song Qingyou changed into a silver dress and set off for Ji Hui’s birthday banquet.
The place where Ji Hui held the banquet was his private manor, located on the outskirts of Beijing City.
There were very few private manors in the country. Even if some people had the money to build them, they could not maintain them because there was a high chance that they would be labeled as illegal and asked to be demolished.
In this case, Ji Hui’s private manor became a manifestation of his connections and ability.
Chen Lan drove the car and glanced at the person in the back seat from time to time.
“What’s wrong?” Song Qingyou asked, sensing her gaze.
“I feel like you’re still too plain dressed like this. I think the new outfits that Liang Ting recommended at the beginning are pretty good.”
The brand ‘Kyushu’ had shone brilliantly both domestically and abroad. The brand’s value was no longer the same as before.
Even though Song Qingyou wasn’t considered the spokesperson of Kyushu, Liang Ting knew how to repay her kindness. Whenever there were new clothes designed, she would let Song Qingyou choose.
It was the same this time. Chen Lan only said that Song Qingyou would attend the banquet, and she made many recommendations.
In the end, Song Qingyou chose one of the more low-key gowns.
“I’m going to a birthday banquet, not a fashion show or beauty pageant,” Song Qingyou said helplessly.
“It can’t be compared to other female celebrities…” Chen Lan said.
“The birthday boy would be unhappy if I were so glamorous that I attracted the attention of everyone.”
“That’s true…”
Chen Lan nodded reluctantly.
When they arrived at the entrance of the manor and saw that there were luxury cars all around, Chen Lan’s competitive mentality came out again.
“If we had known earlier, we would have rented a luxury car too.”
“No need.”
Song Qingyou took the bag from Chen Lan and got out of the car.
“They’re all luxury cars. Our car is the most eye-catching one. It’s just enough to satisfy Sister Lan’s requirement of being ‘gorgeous’ and dominating the entire venue.”
Chen Lan was speechless.
“Alright, hurry up and go in! 1 don’t mind the style and the car.”
Song Qingyou smiled, straightened her back, and calmly handed the invitation to the person at the door.
No one was allowed to bring a phone to such a banquet. She even deliberately opened the bag in her hand and let the other party check it before entering.
It was a completely different world inside and outside the door.
It was only September, and the weather was much cooler. It was still a little cold to wear short-sleeved shirts at night.
At the birthday banquet, many women wore very refreshing dresses.
The actresses, who finally got the invitation and were not well-known, showed off as much as they could without caring about the temperature.
Most of the people gathered in groups of three to five and chatted as if they had seen their good friends after many years.
Song Qingyou’s gaze swept past some familiar faces, but she didn’t rush to greet them. Instead, she quietly looked for the target.
When she entered, many people at the banquet cast curious or probing gazes at her.
Not everyone knew Song Qingyou.
It was partly because of her outstanding appearance that they took a few more glances at her and asked about the situation.
“She’s a celebrity? I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
“Yeah, you guys know about Longxing Logistics, which has been in the limelight recently, right? She’s the spokesperson for Longxing Logistics.”
“I heard that Teacher Ji also invited CEO Lin from Longxing Logistics. She didn’t come with CEO Lin. It seems that the two of them are just business partners?”
“It should be.”
People who didn’t care much about the entertainment industry asked about Song Qingyou, and the focus was on the sudden emergence of Longxing Logistics.
Song Qingyou, who hadn’t spoken to anyone, was treated as a small celebrity without any connections.
Just as Song Qingyou was about to continue walking, she was stopped by a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Behind him was a woman with heavy makeup.
“Mr. Liu, why are you so fast? 1 can’t keep up!”
The woman’s coquettish voice made Song Qingyou frown uncomfortably.
The middle-aged man waved her hand away and smiled at Song Qingyou. “I didn’t expect to see Miss Song here. I’m the general manager of Hongye Capital. My surname is Liu.”
Song Qingyou nodded slightly, not wanting to chat.
However, the man refused to let her go and took two more steps forward.
“Miss Song, our Hongye Capital has a lot of plans to invest in film and television recently. 1 think we can have a good chat about this.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t have any plans for this.”
Song Qingyou turned to leave.
The man reached out to grab Song Qingyou, but she dodged him.
Seeing this, the woman behind her immediately stood in front of Song Qingyou.
There were already quite a few people at the banquet, and with the two of them attacking from the front and back, they really blocked Song Qingyou’s way out..
