Chapter 573: Caught at birthday banquet
【It was originally a charity dinner, so there couldn't be a simple mistake like inviting the wrong person or making a mistake in the list, right? 】
【But Jiang Lingxi is not yet on the front line. If "Empress Yuan Zhao" aired during the Chinese New Year can be a big hit, she will be able to firmly sit on the front line. 】
【Has Yuan also started buying stocks in advance? Is "Empress Yuan Zhao" expected to be a big hit? Or are there really no celebrities who are famous and popular this year? 】
She must be lucky. She is probably just one short of a quota. Looking at the mainland entertainment industry, as far as she is currently popular, she is in the top spot. 】
【If this were really the case, it would make a lot of people jealous. 】
There are indeed many people who are jealous of the list.
As early as a week ago, Yuan officially announced the specific time for this year’s charity dinner, and many people began to try to get an invitation.
The number of celebrities to be invited is decided in advance, so even A-listers are afraid that they will not have any works this year or the response of their works is not big enough, and they will be excluded from the invitation list.
It would be a shame to be on the front line but not invited by the Yuan family.
There are also second and third tier players who want to try their luck. They are not qualified to be included in the invitation list alone, so they simply try to find some other ways.
Those invited family members, single and divorced, are their targets.
Follow these people as their female or male companions.
Until this time the list comes out.
"I counted them three times. I had clearly decided that there would be thirty celebrities to be invited. Why did Jiang Lingxi become the thirty-first? I have been working for such a quota for so long, and they can add more people if they want. Yuanshi is too bullying!"
From a first-line player who was squeezed out of the list and his spot was taken away by his opponent.
The manager who was treated as a trash can and accepted the complaints also had a helpless look on his face, and had to persuade his artists to calm down, "Who let me be the organizer? They can choose whoever they want, and they can add people if they want, and we have to be arrangement.”
“Let’s just do this this year, and let’s work hard next year.”
“Next year, next year she, Jiang Lingxi, will be on the front line! You can also see the behind-the-scenes and clips released by their crew. "Empress Yuan Zhao" will be a big hit as long as nothing goes wrong. It will be even harder to compete for this spot next year!"
The manager wanted to say that you have to be tough and come up with a good work, but seeing how angry the artist was, he swallowed his words.
Even more uncomfortable are those second- and third-tier people who want to go to dinner parties as male companions and female companions.
They didn’t want to compete for a spot on the list at all, because they knew that they didn’t have enough status and couldn’t compete with the front-line seniors.
But now we see another living exception.
“Why can Jiang Lingxi be invited, but I can’t?”
Jiang Yuting rubbed her temples to relieve her headache.
After she came over, Jiang Xiyu had said this back and forth in front of her so many times that her ears were almost calloused!
She couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted to remind, "Didn't Mr. Han say that he would let you go in as a female companion when the time comes?"
Jiang Xiyu's face suddenly twisted.
Before the list came out, she was still proud of it.
She was not the only one who competed for Mr. Han’s female companionship, but she was the one who won in the end after getting Mr. Han’s permission.
Furthermore, although Mr. Han is divorced, he is still less than forty, and he is a good-looking man. Coupled with the bonus of his family background, he is definitely considered a favorite in the eyes of everyone.
“In the final analysis, the female companion is just a vassal. Everyone on the list is invited separately. How can this be the same!”
Jiang Yuting frowned and looked at Jiang Xiyu who was incompetent and furious in front of her, and said coolly: "Then what do you want? I'm afraid that if I meet Jiang Lingxi, I'll feel embarrassed, so why don't I go at all? Aren't you afraid of offending Mr. Han?"
"boom!"
It was the sound of Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but kick the coffee table.
Jiang Yuting is no longer spoiled by her.
In the past, when her mother was in China, she treated Jiang Xiyu, her niece, better than her, her biological daughter. In addition, at that time, Jiang Xiyu was still quite popular when he stepped on Jiang Lingxi, and she made a lot of money. She also received a lot of shares, so she was naturally willing to support Jiang Xiyu.
But now, her mother has gone abroad and there is no news. Jiang Xiyu and Jiang Lingxi are also changing, and the share she gets has also shrunk significantly, so she is not used to this person being as crazy as before.
"Okay, the dress Mr. Han ordered for you will be delivered later. Are you sure you want to greet Mr. Han's people like this crazy woman?"
Jiang Xiyu then raised his head and said, "Xiao Tao, help me wash my hair!"
Xiao Tao, who was cleaning up the house, quickly put down the blanket she was folding and followed quickly.
When the two of them entered the bathroom one after another, Jiang Yuting chuckled mockingly, unlocked her phone, and clicked on the chat box of one of them, "Have you heard, why did Jiang Lingxi appear on the list?"
*
Jiang Lingxi, who was being discussed by everyone, neither made any preparations to attend the dinner tomorrow, nor did she read the discussions about herself online.
She will be at the birthday party of Mr. Zhang Nachuan.
She had no intention of going, but who asked the old man to send the invitation to her personally?
Invited by the elders, it’s impossible not to go now.
Zhang Nachuan is celebrating his seventieth birthday this time.
His old man recognized his granddaughter not long ago, and also found out what his son did behind his back. The granddaughter also made a big mistake because she was jealous of her. This year can be said to have experienced great joy and anger. Just as she was overjoyed, she was again Very angry.
Feeling that my body is not as good as before.
Whether I can live to eighty is a bit uncertain, maybe this will be my last full life.
The birthday banquet is especially grand.
Jiang Lingxi arrived at the banquet hall either early or late.
After giving birthday gifts, he found a seat with his name written on it and sat down.
She originally thought she was low-key enough, but as soon as she sat down, someone took the seat next to her.
“Mr. Senator, this is not your seat, right?”
Her table is considered the main table, and the head seat is Zhang Nachuan, the longevity star himself. Next to it are the seats of An An and her grandmother, as well as a few people named Nalan, who should be from the old man's in-law family.
Even the old man’s eldest son’s family were not arranged here, but placed on the second table.
So she has reason to suspect that this veteran gentleman’s target is her!
“I just wanted to ask you, is Mr. Shen’s collection room open? The old man has been waiting for so many days.”
Jiang Lingxi: “…”
Can she say she forgot?
Shen Yunqing has been busy fighting with the Bai family these days, so he probably forgot about it.
No wonder the old man was so excited to wait.
“Tomorrow, I’ll have time tomorrow morning.”
Shen Yunqing may not have time, but she does.
She is more familiar with the so-called collection room than Shen Yunqing, its nominal owner.
Yuan Hui looked at Jiang Lingxi silently for a moment. Although he didn't say anything, his whole body exuded the aura that I had been forgotten.
Jiang Lingxi was short of breath for no apparent reason. She rarely explained in a low voice: "Something happened a few days ago. Yun Qing and I were busy dealing with it and forgot to promise the elder gentleman. I'm really sorry."
Yuan Hui: “Humph!”
Why can’t the old man bear the grievance? Isn’t it just waiting for this girl to give in? (End of chapter)
