Chapter 495 A Real Actress!
Browsing the content, Yi Yunrui despised the unscrupulous public.
“Keep an eye on it.”
“Yes.”
“Your Highness.” Yi Yunrui turned to Leon and said, “Just now I received news saying that Duke t the chairman a couple of days ago to discuss sothing. He left on that day.”
Leon found it strange, “My father t the chairman? Was it sothing crucial?”
“It’s not sothing important. Just general talks. Also, Zhang Hai just tracked Duke’s number. The system couldn’t give us its location. It seems that Duke would like to have so privacy.”
“He doesn’t even want to tell his son?”
“Is there anything else that you are worried about, Your Highness?”
Leon nodded, “My father is not young anymore. I’m afraid that soone would take advantage of him.” After these decades, they had made many enemies in both the underworld and the legal part of the society. Given his father’s current age, it was the best chance to take revenge.
Yi Yunrui contemplated and then said, “It’s a long way from Br*tain to Celestial Empire. Duke must have been prepared for it if sothing is about to happen. Moreover, Duke had just t the chairman. I think he is here for his own business.”
Leon pondered and sighed, “It makes sense, Commander Yi. I guess I overthought.”
“We totally understand your worries, Your Highness. Since Duke is still here, I’ll keep searching for him. Please rest assured.”
“Commander Yi, here’s another thing. I’ve heard from Xia Ning that my father t her to encourage her the other day. My father seldom talks to other people. I feel it weird that he did that.”
Yi Yunrui paused and did not say anything.
Duke Davis Widdison t Xia Ning?
There was sothing fishy going on.
“I’ll check it out with my wife. But you can rest assured that if Duke was in danger, he would not et Ning, Your Highness.”
“...Yeah. I’m more relieved. Thanks for reminding , Commander Yi.” Leon breathed a sigh of relief this ti, “Alright, thanks for helping , Commander Yi. I was so worried that I hadn’t been resting well these days. I’ll head back to the hotel to get so sleep. I’ll catch up with you and Ning later.”
“Okay, my pleasure.”
Seeing Leon off, Yi Yunrui said to Zhang Hai, “Keep looking for Duke.”
“Yes, boss.”
“Is there any update on Weibo?”
“Boss, this is the latest Weibo.” Zhang Hai pointed at the screen, “He Yuan’s Tianyu Entertainnt Company has released an announcent. It says that it will take every possible asure to protect its clients from being bullied by the powers.”
Yi Yunrui raised his eyebrow, “Is it from the senior team of Tianyu?”
“Hang on, boss. Let check it.”
And then Zhang Hai took out his phone and made a call.
anwhile, Yi Yunrui’s phone rang. It was from Commander Xie.
“Rui, I just received a red heading docunt. Please co to the Command for the discussion.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Hai also hung up his phone, “Boss, the seniors of Tianyu said that the board chairman personally posted that Weibo.”
Yi Yunrui slightly squinted. Was Tianyu Entertainnt Company overconfident of its ability?
“Drive to the Command.”
“Yes, boss.”
The main building of the dia.
“A celebrity ball?” Xia Ning opened the golden invitation that Jing Shu handed over.
“The ball is held by Huo Zhanpeng, the board chairman of Tianyu Entertainnt Company. I just heard that Huo Zhanpeng had arrived in C City to seek the filming locations for the new movie. He’d like to take this chance to socialize with the celebrities in C City. Chief Editor Xia, would you like to go?”
“Tianyu Entertainnt Company...” Xia Ning frowned slightly, “Did I hear it from sowhere......”
“Yes, you did! It just posted a Weibo saying we bullied its client!”
Oh! No wonder!
“Of course, I’ll go. I think He Yuan is about to arrive...” Saying so, Xia Ning had a brainwave!
Hang on, would this ball be for her?
Tianyu Entertainnt Company wanted to beat World Era Weekly with public opinion?
“Shu, how old is Mr. Huo of Tianyu?”
“Huo Zhanpeng took over the business from his father two years ago. He’s twenty-five. Pretty young.” Ha, just a brat!
“Young and talented. Sounds promising.” Xia Ning gave her praise. He had an impressive family background, being a rich second generation.
“Chief editor, why are you still speaking highly of him when he talks so disrespectfully?”
“Hm? I was just telling the truth. Shu, take it easy. You’ll go to the ball with tonight, so be prepared.”
Jing Shu pouted. She did not want to go there. It was obviously a trap for Sister Xia!
“Man, Xiaoniao, would you like to have the dinner buffet at tonight’s ball?”
They lifted up their heads simultaneously and said in chorus, “Yes!”
The Command of C City, Commander’s office.
Browsing through the red heading docunt, Yi Yunrui’s face fell, “When did you get the information?”
“Two days ago.” Commander Xie pointed at a random na in the docunt. “This ‘Blood Devil’, the third most dangerous person in Black Skeleton. ‘Die’, the ssenger of the terrorist group OS. They were discovered around the sa ti. Things seem to be quite complicated. Rui, we are ordered to protect people from suffering life and property losses. We need to take precautions before we have further information. Rui, please organize an ergency eting to discuss our strategy.”
“Yes.”
The ball started at eight. Xia Ning picked a loose dress for tonight to hide her belly.
She just received Yi Yunrui’s ssage that he would be there after finishing his business at the Command. Xia Ning was a little disappointed. She was wondering whether she might have to face it alone later.
However, given who she was now, she did not think there would be any evident opposition to her, except for Tianyu Entertainnt Company.
Around seven o’clock, after she had so food, Zhang Hai drove Xia Ning to a five-star hotel. Upon her getting out of the car, Zhang Hai said to Xia Ning, “Madam, Boss said that he would be here right after he finished the matter. No need to worry when you’re at the ball.”
Xia Ning blinked her eyes. Hang on, so Yi Yunrui already knew this?
Seeing Xia Ning being surprised, Zhang Hai said secretly, “Boss has seen what’s going on on Weibo.”
It clicked. Xia Ning felt greatly relieved. No need to worry? Ha, her sweetheart seed to know what Tianyu was up to.
Many celebrities were at the ball. They ca to say hi when Xia Ning arrived. These flatterers made Xia Ning feel that everyone here was a superstar that was good at acting.
She was now a significant figure in C City. To be honest, if Tianyu was up to sothing, it must be alert that it was at her place.
She was assigned the seat in the middle. It seed that Tianyu valued her coming.
However, Xia Ning felt uncomfortable the next second.
The middle table had two seats assigned to He Yuan and Huo Zhanpeng. He Yuan was arranged to sit next to Huo Zhanpeng.
This ant that He Yuan was also an important guest.
Was Huo Zhanpeng really picking at her this ti?
anwhile, the host ca up to the stage and said smilingly, “Let’s welco the sponsor of tonight’s ball, the board chairman of Tianyu Entertainnt Company, Mr. Huo.”
And then a stylish man walked up to the stage. His appearance and style were no less than a top Korean pop star.
A really handso guy.
Really young.
“Thank you, everyone, for coming to tonight’s ball. I’m really delighted and honored to be introduced to the celebrities in C City...”
After the speech, Huo Zhanpeng then said, “Tianyu Entertainnt Company’s biggest film project will be shooting in C City. Thank you in advance for supporting us. My party date tonight is a beauty, who will be the leading actress for the film, He Yuan, Miss He! ”
Shortly after Huo Zhanpeng’s introduction, He Yuan walked to the stage in a snow-white princess dress. Her cute face was now pretty as a crystal, attracting countless flashlights.
He Yuan stood behind Huo Zhanpeng with a coy expression. She was like a daffodil, alluring people’s affection.
People who were not aware of He Yuan’s personality would be fooled by her appearance.
This girl could never be as fragile as her appearance suggested.
“Thank you for your support. I’m so happy.” He Yuan said. Her tender voice hid a little bit of shyness, making it even adorable, “I co from a regular background. It’s my honor to be here, at the celebrity ball tonight, thanks to Tianyu Entertainnt Company.”
She then took a deep breath, “Sorry, I’m not very good at public speaking. But I am thrilled...”
Her hands were shaking. She choked, her big eyes filling with tears that were about to fall.
Feeling that He Yuan was too excited, Huo Zhanpeng ca to her rescue. He took the microphone from her and said, “Sorry, guys. Please ignore Yuan’s losing her cool.”
Xia Ning sighed. She sipped so wine. A good actress indeed.
She wondered whether it was Tianyu Entertainnt Company’s arrangent or He Yuan improvising. Anyway, Huo Zhanpeng’s tender and protective feelings were obvious to Xia Ning.
If she was right, then the man behind He Yuan was Huo Zhanpeng.
Huo Zhanpeng said so other things on stage. And then he walked down the stage to comfort He Yuan. They returned to the middle table. Huo Zhanpeng looked at Xia Ning and stood up to shake her hand, “Chief Editor Xia, oh, should I say, Mrs. Xia, nice to et you!”
“Nice to et you, Mr. Huo.” Xia Ning smiled politely and professionally and shook his hand.
“Yuan, I’d like to introduce you to Mrs. Xia.”
