Chapter 133: Emperor's cocktail party
Chapter 133 The Emperor’s Reception
A Wei was unlucky for more than just this.
Just as he was finishing recording the new song "Eyes Under the Mask" that he had worked so hard to create for her, bad news came - Queen Xia Ling's legacy song "Butterfly in the Cage" would be held at a release reception soon.
Why is it said to be bad news?
It would be bad news for anyone whose new song releases coincide with the schedule of "Caged Butterfly". All the media and public opinion will only focus on this long-awaited posthumous song by the Queen. As for other new songs? What is that, not interested.
A Wei was furious. If he missed this time, he would not be able to promote well before the selection of the Best Newcomer of the Year Award. He beat the equipment in the recording studio and scolded Feng Kun: "Bitch, pervert, workaholic! Are you trying to get in trouble with me? Why don't you spend your vacation abroad and return to China at this time? Come back and do it." What! Does the emperor owe you wages?”
Xia Ling simply couldn’t bear to listen. Hey, Wei, do you actually think that workaholic is a derogatory term?
She took a good look at the invitation letter with a black background and rose gold plating in her hand: "At the Emperor Building in three days, Wei, if you don't go, I will throw it away." In her previous life, every time she released a new song, she would hold a party. For a cocktail party, some celebrities and industry insiders were invited to participate in the event, creating an extraordinary style to highlight her uniqueness.
It is indeed different. There are so many distinguished political and business celebrities who gather here every now and then. If it weren't for Pei Ziheng's face, it would be impossible for just one entertainment star to invite them.
Hence, her status in the entertainment industry has always been unshakable. No one except her has such an honor.
However, she remembered that Wei never went.
Just as she aimed the invitation at the trash can and raised her hand to throw it away, Wei grabbed it.
“Hey, don’t! Who said I won’t go?” Ah Wei was anxious.
“Huh? You want to go?”
“The emperor’s cocktail party, hum, pretentious and arty.” A Wei said bitterly.
That's right, Xia Ling nodded silently in her heart, so Wei, if you hate the emperor so much, why do you want to go this time?
Ah Wei gritted his teeth and continued: "I want to see what Feng Kun did with "Butterfly in the Cage". If it's too bad, I'll beat him hard with "Eyes Under the Mask" Face!"
Xia Ling was silent. It turned out that he was going to spy on the enemy.
Feng Kun's standards have always been extremely high, and he is thorough and steady in his work. It is impossible to make any mistakes on such an important song as "Butterfly in the Cage". Xia Ling really wanted to tell Ah Wei that it would be in vain for her to read, but she guessed that Ah Wei wouldn't listen, so her efforts would be in vain.
She said lazily: "Then you eat and have fun, and I'll go back to sleep." She had been tormented by him for a long time in the past few days. Although Li Lei came to the rescue from time to time to prevent her from overworking, she was still very tired. She secretly planned in her mind to get some beauty sleep, do yoga, and get a massage these days...
Not long after I had the sweet dream, I heard Wei’s voice—
“You go with me.”
“Huh?” Xia Ling raised her head blankly.
"You are a singer, so you should have some professionalism, okay? Learn more about the songs that are going to compete with yours, and don't be lazy." Wei turned over the invitation irritably, "Those emperor's **** are just hypocritical...remember to Wear formal evening wear.”
Xia Ling came out of the recording studio dejectedly.
To be honest, she didn’t want to go to the Emperor at all. She instinctively wanted to escape from anything related to her previous life. What reasons should be used to reject Wei? Cold, fever, stomachache?
Before she could figure out the result, Li Lei came to join in the fun again.
"Xiao Ling," he walked up to her and hugged her affectionately during dinner, "The "Butterfly in the Cage" release party, can you take me with you?" He acted coquettishly again.
Xia Ling couldn't stand his coquettishness, so she pulled away his restless paw and asked, "Why?"
"This cocktail party is very large. Pei Ziheng has invited all the political and business celebrities. I want to see how close those people are to him." He explained simply.
Xia Ling nodded to express her understanding. The purpose of studying competitors in the business field was exactly the same as that of Ah Wei. However, it was a pain for her. She originally didn't want to go, but both Ah Wei and Li Lei were going... Of these two, one was furious when he met Feng Kun, and the other had the audacity to fight Pei Ziheng with a knife or a gun. She was worried that if she didn't People looked at them, wondering what kind of trouble they might cause.
She hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Let's go together."
Li Lei cheered and rubbed her again: "I knew Xiao Ling was the best." In fact, he was not studying any competitors, it was just because he heard that she was going and he was worried about her staying where Pei Ziheng was. , and then found a way to follow.
The relationship between Pei Ziheng and her is a mystery. The more she refuses to tell him, the more worried Li Lei becomes, fearing that she will be snatched away at any time.
Li Lei was worried about his woman going to meet a suspected love rival.
So, two people who had not planned to attend the emperor's "Butterfly in the Cage" cocktail party attended by accident.
Oh, by the way, there is also Wei.
When they got off the black extended Lincoln limo and walked into the hall along the red carpet and the welcoming waiters, all the guests were silent for a moment - it must be said that both Li Lei and Wei Shaoyin were extremely dazzling. A man, as strong and well-proportioned as a beautiful beast, as cold and arrogant and elegant as a solitary ice peak, twin stars shining, taking your breath away.
Between the two men, there was a petite girl protecting him.
The girl wore a light rose-colored gradient fishtail dress, with a fair complexion, and a pair of clear eyes with a touch of reserve and arrogance. She walked gracefully across the red carpet, just like a princess surrounded by knights. .
“It’s Ye Xingling.” Many people present recognized this celebrity face.
“Tianyi’s big boss and chief music producer came with her?” whispers came from the crowd, “She is just a young star who has just debuted, and she has such a big reputation. What is her background?”
“What kind of background do you have? He came from a civilian background.”
For a time, everyone was shocked and confused.
In a corner of the reception hall, Feng Kun was chatting in a low voice with an official. He noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere. When he looked up, he saw her - a girl standing in front of the luxurious carved wooden door, surrounded by two extremely handsome people. The man was escorting him, his clear eyes looked around as if no one else was around, and his domineering posture looked very much like a person...
He instinctively took a step forward and bumped into a waiter. The champagne spilled out and splashed all over his dark black hand-tailored formal dress. The waiter was horrified and apologized profusely.
Feng Kun finally came to his senses, waved his hand, and let the waiter move away.
The confusion in his eyes faded, and Feng Kun smiled as if he was lost: How could it be Xiao Ling? He must have missed her so much that he would mistake any girl for her.
