Yu Yanyu "By the way, will you be attending the Harper’s Bazaar Christmas Charity Gala tomorrow?"
He Jinxia asked back, "Will you?"
Yu Yanyu "Yes, I have endorsents with luxury brands, and I’ve received an invitation."
Knowing he would be there, He Jinxia didn’t hide it from him "I’ll also be there. I bought the invitation on my own, the company got it for ."
Yu Yanyu was sowhat surprised when he heard this, it was the first ti he had heard that the Harper’s Bazaar Christmas Charity Gala invitations could be sold externally.
Logically speaking, He Jinxia wasn’t qualified to attend such a fashion event. These types of galas value a star’s fashion resources above all else; other aspects are just a reference.
And He Jinxia’s fashion resources weren’t great this year, with no endorsents touching fashion, except for being a close friend of the Aishang clothing brand, which is just a second-tier brand, unsatisfactory in terms of class.
But who is He Jinxia’s company? It’s Tonghua Entertainnt, one of the giants among Huaxia’s large entertainnt companies.
Tony always wanted He Jinxia to boost her fashion resources, and he didn’t want her to miss this gala, so he ntioned it to Luo You.
After weighing it over, Luo You decided to speak to the company, anyway. He Jinxia had signed a bet agreent with the company; too much debt didn’t crush her spirit, and she would take any chance to mooch more benefits.
For He Jinxia, the company had changed from being initially unsupportive to considering her several good-performing films and TV dramas this year, one of which was even shortlisted for Berlin. These impressive credits were enough to make the executives change their minds.
They couldn’t be certain if He Jinxia would beco a top-tier star within three years, but they were sure that if the trend continued, if not in three years, then in five or eight... He Jinxia would soday enter the realm of A-list celebrities.
In their eyes, He Jinxia held significant value, and with her bet agreent, her staying with the company for the next five years was certain. Thus, the executives decided to give He Jinxia so opportunities to give her a leg up.
The Harper’s Bazaar Gala ticket for tomorrow was secured for He Jinxia using the company’s connections, of course, at her own expense.
The company didn’t let her attend as the date of one of the male artists with an invite; instead, they helped her purchase a ticket. This showed the company’s regard for He Jinxia.
Yu Yanyu ca back to his senses and teased, "Sister Qin will probably be furious this ti, since she didn’t get an invitation to the gala."
The conversation took a turn as he asked, "Do you want to go to the gala with ?"
He Jinxia thought for a mont, then shook her head, "No need, I’ll enter on my own."
Entering as a companion guest and having an invitation aren’t the sa; being a companion often carries a sense of accessory.
Of course, if both guests have separate invites and choose to walk the red carpet together, that’s a different story.
Yu Yanyu seed to think of sothing, and casually remarked, "Brother Yan will also be there tomorrow. I wonder if he’ll invite a female companion this year."
He Jinxia curiously asked, "Has he never invited a female companion before?"
Yu Yanyu recalled, "He has, he invited Bai Bing in the past, but then Bai Bing focused on filming abroad, left Tonghua Entertainnt to set up a personal studio overseas, and since then he hasn’t brought a female companion."
He Jinxia’s eyes twinkled slightly, "Who is Bai Bing?"
Yu Yanyu "She’s sowhat of Brother Yan’s childhood sweetheart... cough cough cough!"
Realizing he misspoke, he suddenly coughed.
"I’m not too sure either, I just know that she used to be an actress at Tonghua Entertainnt."
Yu Yanyu forcefully shifted the topic, and He Jinxia silently noted this in her heart, intending to investigate it later.
Don’t think she didn’t catch that Yu Yanyu almost said "childhood sweethearts", it seems Sheng Yan isn’t as "pure" as she had imagined—how co a little childhood sweetheart always pops up out of nowhere?
A sly twinkle flashed in He Jinxia’s eyes, yet she didn’t feel angry at all.
Sheng Yan’s family background was good, his abilities were strong, and he had always been excellent since childhood; if no girls pursued him, she would instead start to doubt if Sheng Yan had so unsavory character traits unknown to others.
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she felt sothing was off, she asked, "You seem to be very familiar with Brother Sheng Yan, eh?"
Yu Yan almost blurted out the old excuse he used to follow around Sheng Yan, "That’s right, I’ve skipped classes with Brother Yan, eaten chicken with him, fought together-cough cough cough!"
He quickly switched his train of thought, "Well, actually, I’d like to get to know Brother Sheng Yan better, it’s just too bad, I can only fantasize in my dreams."
Yu Yanyu’s heart raced as he racked his brain for a plausible explanation.
Soon he found one, his eyes lit up, and he said with a tone of regret, "Honestly, I am a diehard fan of Brother Sheng Yan, I know everything about him. I joined the entertainnt circle partly because I wanted to follow in Brother Sheng Yan’s footsteps."
He Jinxia asked with interest, "A diehard fan? It doesn’t show. When shooting the Huami comrcial, you didn’t seem very enthusiastic about Sheng Yan. I rember you didn’t ask for his autograph, did you?"
Yu Yanyu coughed a few tis and said calmly, "Brother Sheng Yan dislikes fans prying into his private life, he doesn’t like sasaeng fans. To avoid burdening him, I didn’t tell him I’m his fan. Brother Sheng Yan is very busy, I don’t want to trouble him."
He was quite pleased with his explanation; it sounded so convincing that he almost believed it himself.
Yes, he admired Sheng Yan, being a diehard fan was true.
Yes, he entered the entertainnt industry because of Sheng Yan, that motivation was true.
Yes, everything he said was true!
With a aningful "Oh—", He Jinxia didn’t continue the subject, but instead moved on to discussing Harper’s Bazaar Charity Night tomorrow.
Yu Yanyu felt a slight relief inside and shared so insider details with her. It wasn’t his first ti attending the Harper’s Bazaar banquet, and he was clear about the procedures.
After hanging up the phone with Yu Yanyu, He Jinxia found a text ssage from a stranger on her phone—
[I am ng Wan, I have a new WeChat account. My old WeChat isn’t used much, and I didn’t see you had tried to contact until I logged in today. Add my new WeChat and let’s talk over video. ]
He Jinxia’s gaze sharpened slightly, thoughtful, and she added ng Wan’s new WeChat.
Since she returned from Baihua State, she had been trying to initiate contact with ng Wan.
One thing Li Zimu was wrong about: she also didn’t have ng Wan’s contact information.
The ng Wan of the past had left cleanly and decisively, seemingly wanting to cut ties with everything from her past, making her unreachable for He Jinxia, who could only resort to a clumsy thod—sending her ssages on WeChat and waiting.
The friend verification was quickly approved, and ng Wan imdiately sent a video chat request.
He Jinxia chose to accept, and soon she saw ng Wan wearing glasses, with a desk in front of her, exuding an unmistakable scholarly aura.
